Hello everyone! So, thank you to all who reviewed! I have been so motivated that I have decided to turn this idea into a story. So, I present to you the TMNT collection of stories!
This is how Kate meets up with the turtles:
Story 1: The Beginning
Kate's POV
Kate clutched her coat as the wind blew. Wow she thought they HAD to kick me out during winter. Kate was a 17-year-old orphan. The orphanage knew that they would only be wasting money if they kept legal adults and made a rule that only children age 16 and below could remain. Kate wasn't all that sad about it but she missed having warm food given to her (yes, she was slightly spoiled), and she missed her caretakers, and she especially missed seeing the younger children's faces when someone chose them. She sniffled.
"Well, at least they gave me a coat." She said aloud bitterly then she heard a crash. She turned around, who or what was there?
Leo's POV
Leonardo cursed. How had he even missed the trash can? How had he not seen it? Leo had been out on a night stroll to get away from all the craziness below. Donatello's hopeless crush on April was so annoying, Michelangelo's growing infatuation with rocks was weird, and Raphael's continuous taunts (about Donatello's crush) was just plain irritating. Basically, he was agitated with his brothers.
He knew that he wasn't supposed to be out and about except during missions but he needed a break. As the leader he deserved one, right?
Leo had been jumping buildings when he saw her. A pretty—very pretty girl. She had long brown hair, bright blue eyes, and fair skin. She wore nothing but a thin coat as protection from the wind. He couldn't help but to follow her, but of course love ( or attraction in this case) blinds us from consequences…And now, he had just knocked over a very loud trash can and exposed himself.
"Hunh? Who's there?" Leonardo said nothing but he couldn't move otherwise she might see him. He could only hide and hope that she was either stupid or blind… "Show yourself!" she threatened. Leo smirked, yeah right. Then suddenly she moved the trash can. Darn it.
Kate's POV
"What?" she couldn't even tell what she was looking at. Some sort of… turtle? A mutant turtle. She took a step back and he (or it) stepped forward.
"Please, do not freak out." He soothed "I'm not here to hurt you."
"Are you a turtle?" she squinted at him
"Yes, isn't it obvious?" Kate rolled her eyes
"Sorry," she said "but, it's not like I see mutant turtles every day."
"Understandable I guess." The turtle seemed to realize something and said "Gotta go. See ya!"
"Wait! I don't even know your name… if you have one."
"You're joking right? Well its Leonardo, but you can just call me Leo."
"Leonardo… Leo… as in Leonardo da Vinci?" she smiled
"Yes, exactly, au revoir." And he left. Kate grinned. She wondered if she would ever see him again.
Kate's POV
"This is so demeaning." Kate mumbled digging through a disgusting trash can to find some scraps of food or anything she could actually eat. "I've come to this…wow." She could hardly believe that she was trying to find food from a trash in an alley. She knew that some people dug through rubbish for fun but she was doing it to survive. Her mind was blown.
She felt something squishy and took it out. "Ugh! Gross! A banana peel!" she almost threw up. Could she eat it? She looked at it opening her mouth and then—"I can't do this!" she threw it away and fell to the ground crying. Why me? She thought shivering, but…it could be worse. I could be mugged, or mutilated, or mauled, or even dead. She almost smiled almost all of her words started with "M" but how did that bring her happiness?
Leo's POV
Leo watched Kate from the rooftop; he realized that he had not gotten her name yet. He felt sorry for her though, even he didn't have to resort to trash food… he watched her cry feeling like crying himself. Must be rough he thought, not having any friends, family, no home. Then I'll be her friend and if not then I'll be her protector. He vowed. He would have to watch her more closely now.
Then Leo noticed something. It was behind the trash out of her view. It was… it was the Kraang. Oh no. With lightning speed Leo hopped to the next building and jumped about thirty feet away from the girl. She didn't seem to notice him across the alley, she was still crying. The Kraang took out a gun-like machine, one that would blow her up. Leo would have to risk exposure he ran and pushed the alien over surprising the extra-terrestrial and the girl. She immediately got up and scanned her surroundings.
"Leo?" she asked, her face seemed to brighten as she said this
"Yep." He pushed her out of the way as the Kraang pointed his weapon at her. It went off but it wasn't a blinding purple light that shot out, it was… a net?
"A net? Are they trying to catch me this time?" she looked very confused then she added "and also, my name is Kate. I just realized that—"
"There's no time to give our bios. He grabbed her arm and ran the opposite direction but more Kraang appeared. It seemed this attack had been planned.
Kate's POV
She backed Leo as the aliens began to circle around them. "Hello, Kate, human we need for testing, and ninja turtle who we hate because they—"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Leo interrupted and he began to fighting. Dodging and slicing and completely forgetting about Kate and her vulnerability.
One of them came after her but she moved away just in time. The gun shot at another alien and he fell. Kate frowned, she didn't have any weapons. Which meant that she was vulnerable.
Kate hated being vulnerable.
She felt her blood rising as she began to boil with anger. No one, no one, would ever make her feel useless.
No one. She gritted her teeth and punch the nearest one. She had fought these guys before but not as angry as she was. Maybe it was because Leo was punching their lights out and she couldn't. She began to beat them up like never before. Punching, and kicking, and dodging like crazy. In the end she was the one to have scared them off.
"Woah." The turtle just stared at her in amazement
"Hehe…" she gave him a weak smile and shrugged
"Have you fought these guys before?" he asked sheathing his swords
"Well, yes. Tons of times but—"
"You have? Ok, you definitely need to come with me."
"What why? And where do you live? Also, do you have any siblings? And—"
"Enough with the questions ok? And also, to protect you, I live in the sewers, and yes." He answered
"Wait, you live in the sewers? And how do you know those guys?" he pulled her towards one of the sewer entrances and opened it
"Hop in, and we know them cause we're fighting them." She climbed down the ladder and he followed remembering to closed the lid, he didn't want someone to get I like last time… "They're aliens obsessed with ruling Earth. I don't know why they wanted to capture you but we'll find out soon enough." They reached the bottom and he led the way
"So, you guys are ninja turtles trying to fight against aliens? That is one weird sentence." Kate couldn't really wrap her head around it
"We've arrived, but I'm not supposed to be taking humans here so just hide behind this wall." He pointed and she obeyed.
Leo's POV
Leo stepped out to see his brothers all around the TV watching some Japanese manga film.
"Hello, Leo." Leo didn't flinch he was used to Sensei's surprise greetings
"Hello Sensei."
"Where have you been?" Master Splinter stared at him curiously
"Out. I was taking a walk."
"But, Leo you know better than that. I've said it many times."
"Yes I do but sometimes…" his brothers were staring at him awaiting his answer "sometimes they're such a pain…" he pointed at them
"Hey!' Michelangelo glared and stuck his tongue at him. The Sensei sighed in exasperation and said
"Very well then." He began to leave but now was the time to tell him
"Wait." Leo's stomach flipped "I have to tell you something... I… I met a girl…" everyone looked at him in disbelief "A human… I met a human girl. And I brought her here."
"What?!" everyone gasped
"But wait, she's… the Kraang… the Kraang are chasing her…I couldn't have just abandoned her, she—"
"Leo! This is unacceptable! You know the rules! You shouldn't have even been out!"
"I know! I know! But, they're trying to catch her. I think that she might be special to them." Leo protested
"Where is she then?"
"I'll get her." Leo said but he didn't need to because she had already stepped out on her own
"Hi. I'm Kate."
That's it for chapter 1! I know that the Kraang and Sensei speaking might not sound exactly like in the TV show but I don't watch the show often. This story was just an idea so I'm going to be doing more research to make it seem more like the episodes. Anyway thanks for reading and please review!
Till later,
