~ Beauty is more than just skin deep
beauty is more than just a privilege, it is a gift
beauty is forever taken for granted
even abused
only those who appreciate it
that become the goddess~

Chapter one

~brooklyn, 2002~

The young brunette maiden walked in the door, after a long day at the college and placed her keys down in the bowl on the table by the door. Coiling herself around her legs was a lovable rag doll kitten mewing, wanting to be fed. "Hello miss kittie. Hungry?" the cat mewed again and purred, standing up on her hind legs and reached up to say she is hungry and wants fish. Picking her cat up and walked to the kitchen, hugging her gently then placed down to take out the milk and tuna for the cat. Miss kittie mewed and purred again, which her mistress wasn't taking much notice when she replied softly. "What?"

Miss kittie continued eating her fish and lapping her fresh cold milk. Alexia rolled her eyes and sighed then grabbed a bottle of burbon before going to the bedroom and laid to read a book on her favourite comic strips. Alexia had collected every comic book since she was little. Some were funny, some were dreading some were sorrowful. Miss kittie jumped on the bed beside to her mistress after finishing her meal, giving herself a bath then gently clawed her belly and curled up, falling asleep while purring. Alexia smiled, petting her cat and continued reading her book.

Meanwhile, outside the warehouse over the east side of New York. Large dark smog submerged from the exploding building, crumbling brick walls and flying shards of glass meeting the pavement followed by bright clangs of weapons that had clashed with loud roars of exclaiming grunts, and groans as the group fought in the smog. Sirens of the authorities, arriving to the scene and surrounded within the area. Taking their positions as the choppers, hovered from the rooftops and manoeuvred the light through the smog and did what could be done to clear the coverage of what is hidden but still heard.

Within seconds after the authorities arrived to the scene, three News reporting vans also arrived to the scene, and endangered themselves of trying to get the story for their editors and share with viewers for this ratings of the station. Some were ordered to remain back as one ignored the order and had disappeared in the vague smog, what they witnessed. Wasn't what they assumed or intended to be real. "What the hell is this?" matthew asked, recording all in view. "Whatever it is or was but right now it is news, keep rolling. The boss is going to flip for this story. Make sure you get everything." Katie replied, preparing herself for the recording. Matthew nods agreeably and obediently, as he smiled then said whilst focusing the camera towards the reporter aka Katie Walsh. "Knock them dead, girl."

"We are live in the warehouse on the east side of 11th and 3rd. As you can see, many people dressed in black suits with bandanas of Japanese symbol to their organisation, lay either injured or critical as the police and ambulance look a way of entering in this chaos as whoever done this, has to be a master mind and who else was the vigilantes that left their mark of this other Japanese symbol on the cracked walls, painted in red. Could it really be a hero in our city? Who is he? Does he have accomplices to aid him in this vigilante business? What was these men that lay injured, looking for to start with?"

"And cut." Matthew directed, smiled. "Continued recording though as we need to get the best scoop." Katie encouraged, when she noticed the federal swat team entered the rubble. Followed by the paramedics. "Holy, it is like a war zone in here." Paramedic Peterson stated to his partner. "Lets concentrate on who is critically injured and who isn't alive." Parademic grant replied.

Watching from the rooftops, in the shadows. "What fools, anything for a story." Foot general stated when received radio through his earpiece. "Is it done, general?" Karai asked, waiting for a response. "The job is complete, the turtles are no more." He replied. "Make sure that they are before returning back to headquarters." Karai ordered once more before the connection was broken as the foot general answered obediently and signed off then grunted lowly. "Damnit, ninja search the rubble and find any evidence to take back that the enemy is indefinitely deceased." The other foot soldiers nodded and searched the perimeter.

Not far from the rubble, the sewer cover was put in place as the heroic terrapins made their escape from the foot and new reporters. Leaving no evidence as they made their escape, whilst the enemy continuously searched for them. Raphael groaned, holding his forearm. "Hey, Donnie. Got any bandages?"

Immediately Donatello grasped his older brothers arm and bandaged the wound. "We better get moving, dudes." Mikey stated. Raphael growled alittle as Donatello tightened the bandage before agreeably nodded.

Ms kitty continued to purr, twitching her tail alittle and remained curled in her tight position as she slept. Alexia chuckled as she read her book then looked up for a second as she noticed the news headlines as it was broadcasted on the television and immediately turned the volume up. Holding one finger in the page where she left, whilst watching the news.

"As you can see from the destruction of this old abandoned warehouse that some kind of street gang brawl had recently occurred and whatever reason or whatever they were after, was still unknown. The authorities are baffled and scratching their heads as they can not determined what was the reason for this brawl had happened. But it was broken when four shadows had intercepted the scene and this is the only shot that was recorded before fleeing the scene." The reporter begun as she continued and the images were shown of the damage. "Who are these vigilantes? And whom were they fighting? And what was it over? Could it be drugs? Or possibly much deeper and much more personal? This is Joanie wicks, reporting. Chanel 2 news. Back to you, Richard."

Alexia sighed, turning the television off and returned to her book. Ms kitty stretched, purring then got up before laying down beside her mistress and resumed sleeping. Alexia smiled, petted her cat then decided to get some cheese-o chips with onion dip before finishing her book and said to herself. "Where is the next darn book?" smiled happily as she finally found the next book and placed on her lap. "What happens next?"

~To be continued in chapter two

Thankyou your reviews on the first chapter and I do apologise it is short as I am experiencing writers block and artist block due to parental duties. I do apologise for the late update but family life demands for attention as well. Anyway, what do you think of this chapter? As introducing my OC as I hope it will continue to interest you to read.

Yes I know that I have made it seem to be if it were real but in the first chapter was intended to be appear that way as the creators were live people and I thought it would be a good idea to begin that way as from this chapter onwards, I will create this fiction as it were real as how I view it especially if it were me that lived the story. Read and review. Tootles
