Lost in thought, Raphael was pinned down by the mystery Kunoichi. A knee on his plastron and the sword to his neck.
"Raph, it's me." The girl said, her voice sweet and soft. She tossed her Katana to the ground and removed her visor. "It's Becca."
Raph's eye widened at the sight of her.
'Becca Stockman?'
Raph still took a minute to process.
"Becca? Becca Stockman?"
Becca's smile grew as she let out a small giggle. "Yes!"
Becca stood up and took Raph's large, mutant hand in hers. Lifting him up on his feet as well.
"I haven't seen you in at least ten years."
Becca was still all giddy, seeing her old mutant friend. But all Raph could focus on was the Foot Clan suit on her body, and her last name.
Maybe he would be more excited if they were kids where the war between the Hamato and the Foot clans' weren't happening. But little would he know that during that ten years apart, Raphael and his brothers would make enemies with a man called Baxter Stockman. Otherwise known as, Becca's father.
"Uhh, Raph? Are you okay?" Becca asked in a bit of a concerned voice.
Raph shook his head of his thoughts.
"Y-yeah.. I just.." Raph started, still observing the uniform. It reminded him too much of Karai, and all the horrible thing she put him and his brothers through. "You're with the Foot?" He asked, slightly glancing up to her.
"Yeah.. Not by my choice though.." Becca explained. "And it looks like you have more than just wooden Sais now." She commented, gesturing to the metal Sai in Raph's hand.
"I guess we have a bit of catching up to do."
Raph took a while to respond. He would naturally be hesitant of trusting an enemy, but this was someone he'd once known before. As a friend.
"I guess we do." Raph replied in a smaller tone. All Becca could do was smile.
"Great! How about I meet you back here tomorrow night?"
"Uhh.. Sure. I can do that."
And with that conformation, Becca was gone in a flash.
And Raph was left there, wondering if he had made a good choice.
