Small note: I noticed in the first few stories that I had written Micky instead of Mikey! From now on I have written it in how it should be. I'm also going to make this story M rated for maybe more mature theme later and language. Again thanks for reading and hope you'll enjoy.

Chapter 2

Who are you?

Asha was slowly blinking her eyes before she fully opened them to look at her surroundings. She saw the sun rays going trough the window and knew it was already the next morning. It took her a while to noticed that she was laying on the sofa in her living room. The lights shining trough the windows weren't that bright for an autumn weather however with the spotlight shinning on her yesterday she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the direct light coming through the room. She tried to remember yesterday night but could only recall back vague flashes and dialogues of what may had happened. What ever had happened she surely had pass out half way.

After letting some more things sink in she tried to lift herself up and looked around for the time. When she turned her face around she came face to face with Joy who was leaning against the Sofa, with her eyes closed, still sound asleep. In the other corner of the room she saw Felicity sitting in the armchair. Her eyes started to well when she thought of the girls taking care of her and staying her with her the whole night. With her hand she touched Joy's arm where she supported her head on. The soft touch of Asha had woken Joy up and she slowly lifted her head to look directly in Asha eyes who was now starting to tear up. Before Asha could say anything, Joy had jumped up and embraced Asha in a hug close to herself.

"O my god, how are you?" Joy said with a husky voice. The worried tone and sudden comfort of Joy overtook Asha by surprise and al she could reply was a hand on her back while tears where starting to flow out of her eyes. The fear and helplessness she had been building up since yesterday and the moment she woke up, al came out pouring.

Joy tightened her hold on Asha when also she thought back on what happened yesterday. In just few moments one of the best nights in her life turned to a complete disaster when she saw Asha being dragged towards the stage while her eyes where begging for help of her friends. Joy couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes and felt so horrible when she couldn't do anything to bring back Asha. Felicity and her tried to pull her arms while they themselves where shoved aside by other people in the crowed.

"Its ok, your safe now. No one will hurt you here." Joy felt Asha shiver and rubbed her hand on her back. Whispering in her ear that everything was ok now. Joy knew Asha was a timid person and preferred to be more on the sideline then in the center of attention. But even so never did she knew that instead of being shy, Asha would have a look of horror and pain in her eyes. Though the crowed was only being enthusiastic and overwhelming there was no need for Asha to look as if she was being attacked. Joy felted she didn't protect her friend enough and felt even guilty now in bringing her to such a place where she obviously felt out of place.

How dare Angelo, pushing Asha against her will. Was he a sadist or something, enjoying the fear of girls who are pushed against there own will. When she saw him holding on Asha tightly and whispering in her ear she could fell her anger rising inside of her. She saw Asha helpless trying her best to resist and even looked away of his face while the lust in the eyes of Angelo just grew more and more by the seconds. The whole time Felicity stood next to her and screamed to Asha to make any possible contact with her. But looking at Asha's face you could see she was fighting not only a outside but inner battle as well. The rest of the crowed was to exciting to even notices the struggles of Asha, only being hypnotized by Angelo's look. It also made it hard for Joy and Felicity to even come close to the stage.

Suddenly out of nowhere a green flash dashed on stage and a loud blow was heard through the room. Angelo was smacked hard and his face and his body started to make an one eighty spin. He let loose of Asha who was now starting to fall of the stage. Second later a loud scream was heard in the room of a woman who was standing in the front row and was shocked by the loud smack that was giving to Angelo. Everything happened so fast but al Joy had eyes for was Asha who was now going to make a high fall of the stage. But before she could even scream herself, she saw that the green person, who she noticed was Cowabunga Carl had caught her in his arms. Asha's whole body became limb and leaned on the torso of Cowabunga Carl who himself had faced himself towards Angelo. Nobody saw his expression because of the big head he had on. But looking at his body language he sure was ready to strike again.

"Get your fucking hands off her!" Mikey grunted between his teeth when his eyes never left Angelo until he hit the ground. He than looked around him turning his focus now on the crowed.

"Are you al that low for some cheap ass attention." He didn't bother to wait what the crowed would say and lifted up Asha from under need her legs. He looked at the back where he already saw Joy and her friend Felicity running towards the door that would lead backstage. He turned around with Asha in his arms and walked back from where he came from not giving any thought on the crowed or Angelo for that matter. His whole body was tenses and he really had to retain himself not to crush the girls body who was laying in his arms unconscious.

While he was back stage he followed everything that happened on stage when he suddenly saw the face of Asha, the girl he waved at before, who was trying with al her might to resist not coming on stage. He couldn't believe the crowed reaction on Angelo's proposal and things where even getting worse when the look of the Asha turned into full fear. He's instinct took over, he dropped his drinks and went back on stage as fast as he could. When he came op he saw Angelo's face leaning in Asha's neck. It was seeing that sight that made Mikey go on stage and smacked the son of a bitch as hard as he could.

The mood in the crowed had rapidly changed van happy cheering to disbelieve and angst. Of al corners, security guards came out to keep the majority of people calm. Mikey didn't even bother with them and only showed through his body language that they should stay the fuck away from him. The security guards didn't even try to oppose him and turned there attention on taking care of Angelo. Finally backstage both Felicity and Joy came on running towards him with look of worry in there eyes.

"O my god, Asha! What the hell did he do." They didn't no how to react seeing that Asha was still laying unconscious in Mikey's arms and looked up at Mikey to say something.

"We need to bring her to the hospital" Felicity started to panic now when still no movement was visible in Asha's body.

"She just passed out and by the looks of it probably because of shock. This isn't the first time I have seen this." Mikey tried to sound indifferent with his last remark knowing that it wasn't the first time for him seeing fainting because of shock. He did try to talk slowly and calm, an attempt to calm the other girls. The girls backed off a little and Felicity took out her phone and started to call a number.

"I'm calling the cab. We are getting her the fuck out of this place." Hearing Felicity curse made Joy understood that she was in a lot of pressure seeing there roommate in such state. Standing with the phone near her ear Felicity's whole body was shivering because of nerves. Joy lifted her hand on Felicity's shoulder and looked her in the eyes to make sure Felicity would inhale and exhale slowly. Also for Joy wouldn't this be the first time to see Felicity in panic but at least now she knew what do.

Joy turned around to face Mikey but even though she couldn't see his eyes she gave him a nod, letting him know that she trusted him. Felicity talked to the cab on the phone, gave him the instructions and hang up. "There is a cab coming this way. I asked him to come at back of the building" She was less under pressure now but still didn't like the whole idea of Asha being unconscious. Joy saw that she couldn't stay still and started to walk to and fro in the room and fully forgot that she was even backstage in the man's dressing room. Joy stayed as calm as possible and took a seat in between two men that had participated before Cowabunga Carl, whom had been sitting quietly the moment the others had came inside the room. They as well looked nervous but didn't dare to say a word because of the tense atmosphere in the room. Cowabunga Carl hadn't moved an inch himself when he entered the room and was stopped by there worries.

The time they al waited in the man's backstage room, Joy had taken moment to take a closer look at Cowabunga Carl. What was supposed to be a costume looked far more real like real muscles to Joy when she stared at the biceps of Cowabunga Carl. With exception of his head everything looked far more like real skin than a suit made of fabric. Though the lights backstage weren't the brightest she still did see a lot of details in the body. A few minutes had passed and finally a knock on the backdoor was heard. They al looked up and Felicity rushed to open the door.

The cab driver stood on the other side and Felicity was the first to walk out followed by Micky with Asha in his arms and as last Joy who wished everyone a goodnight before closing the door behind her. Felicity set in the front and Joy helped Micky with getting Asha in the car and went to the other side to get in the cab. With Cowabunga Carl being quit big he had to held Asha close to him on his lab with his arms supporting her. The whole time everybody kept her eyes on Asha while sometimes Felicity told instructions to get home. A few times Joy moved her eyes to look at Cowabunga Carl, with his big head covering up his face, she tried to see any signs of emotion on how he was doing,

Never had Joy seen Mikey making suspicious behavior toward Asha who was leaning on his torso. She did however saw one of the tree fingers slowly moving and caressing Asha's arm. It wasn't perverted looking and it looked like he himself didn't even noticed that he was doing that.

To break the ice in the car Joy started to talk again and looked at Mikey. "So its Carl?"

"W-what?" Mikey didn't catch what Joy, while she took him by surprised. It even bothered him that he let is guard down just because of a girl laying in his arms.

"Your name, is it Carl? Because of Cowabunga Carl" Joy repeated and giggled because of his reaction and waited again for an answer.

"Uhmm... No actually it isn't" Mikey thought slowly on how he would response to this question. He looked up and saw that also Felicity was looking curious at him now. Man, he knew this was exactly why he shouldn't had participated tonight. This wasn't begin stealth at all, good job Mikey.

"Than what is it?" He hesitated for a moment and looked back at Asha's sleeping face who looked peaceful and beautiful in his arms. Before he knew it the words came out of his mouth.

"Mikey, short for Michelangelo."

"So she went on stage with the wrong Angelo huh?" Mikey looked up at the comment of Felicity. He knew it wasn't a funny situation they where in but the witty remark Felicity made did made him want to laugh a little.

"Are you saying, that it should had been me to be with the douchebag on stage." Now it was Joy's turn to make a remark and they al laughed softly to make sure not to disturb Asha. Mikey looked over the girls who, even though where worried sick because of there friends still tried to see the bright side of everything.

"At least there was hero to save her from that creep." Felicity's last remark left him with a guilty feeling looking outside of the window not to take her comment to personal. With only a soft voice that sounded more like a sign he had managed to say 'yeah'.

When the cab finally arrived, Joy helped Mikey getting out of the car and Felicity paid the driver. They went upstairs and when they opened the door to make room voor Mikey they noticed that he din't dare to move. He stood petrified on the spot.

"Are you guys sure, to let me in" He looked towards the girls that where already standing in the hallway. The nervousness in Micky's voice was obvious to hear.

"Are you kidding me. After al that happened, this is the moment you warn us" Felicity said with her hands on her hips.

"And I though I was the slow-witty one." Joy said sarcastic. The girls looked amazed at the sudden change in Mikey and didn't know to take it serious or not. Instead the turned around and walked to the living room leaving Mikey alone in the doorway to come inside. Mikey wasn't just nerves because of entering a human house. He had been in houses sure. But the moment the door opened he was aware of an intense scent that came from out there house and it still occurred to him that he still had Asha in his arms being al defenseless and fragile. The whole moment just seemed to surreal for him.

He had been around long enough and at April's place and knew the differences between the male and female species but the overwhelming scent that this room had was nothing in compared to what he had imagined. This took him of guard again and made him feel totally out of place in so many ways. 'A mental not to Micky, don't try to be heroic when your outnumbered by a female audience'. Mikey knew a change like this wouldn't happen again and that is was all or nothing. At least he had more to tell his brothers when he got back home.

He slowly took the first step inside the house and made sure to take everything in. The whole room around him was painted with a refreshing pastel color. He himself never paid attention to interior and decorations but coming in this room, this was something he personally never would have chosen himself. It felt way to soft and girly for his taste. He pasted a small mirror in the hallway and looked at himself caring Asha in his arms. Though he did feel super uncomfortable he had to give him some props for caring such a lovely lady in his arms.

He haven't had the change to look in Asha's eyes yet, but seeing them closed he knew they where almond shaped. Her hair was black and surrounded her face like a veil. He always felt amazed of the external differences the male and female had. Looking at male nothing ordinary would come in thought, but with girls it was a whole different story. Unlike what he thought of men, females where always elegant and sensual. It was as if they where made to be looked at and o did Micky liked to look at them. The first time he laid his eyes on a magazine in Rapheal's room felt as if a whole new world opened up for him. Seeing girls in different kinds of angels and position didn't let him cold at al. These girls where nothing like what he saw on regular channels and it surely didn't had the same effect on him either. Now and then he would sneak up back again to his brothers room to take a look or bring back a magazine with him to his own room. Surprisingly Rapheal never caught him for it.

The same urges came up again, just like the one he has with Rapheal's magazine, but now it was only because he was looking at Asha. Mikey knew it didn't felt right, having those thoughts while having a Denzel in distress in his arms. But even so he couldn't help the images in his head that where coming up of him doing some perverted things with the girl in his arms. He took a few breaths to calm himself down and continues walking until he stood in the living room. The girls where busy preparing the sofa with a blanket and pillow and even brought there own blankets to the living room. They wanted to stay with her until she woke up, so they thought that staying in the living room would be the best option.

After they where done Mikey walked toward the sofa and laid Asha down carefully. With one hand left under her neck and the other free he brushed a few hair locks of her face and took a few seconded to imprint her face in his mind. She truly was exotic looking, with cute freckles covering her face and full lips that where slightly apart. He finally let his hand slide from under need her neck and stepped back to give the other girls the space they need to prepare her for sleep.

Joy looked at the heartwarming scene that played before her eyes and saw again the sweet gestures Mikey did, so now and then. When he finally stepped away of her, she couldn't help but make remark of Micky who was still in costume.

"You don't have to keep on your head you know?" She noticed the change in composure again in him when the focus shifted to him again. It was as if he was withdrawing himself again. For a second she made eye contact with Felicity who even though didn't say much the whole time did noticed it too.

It was weird seeing someone trying to hide himself while helping someone in trouble. The contradiction that Mikey showed them in his behaviors wasn't going unnoticed. Wanting to be there and just a second later getting away of them as soon as possible. To be in character for a show is understandable but how far did he want to pull this off. It just didn't made sense for Joy.

"Nah, its al good. Don't want to freak you girls out with my looks." Micky tried to sound nonchalant and pulled his arms behind his head to laugh it off.

"I'll better be going. Leave you girls alone to take care of her" And he pointed with his thumb toward Asha. Out of habit he started to walk toward there balcony when he stopped mid way turning around and seeing the girls now looking even more confused.

"Whoops, sorry! Just a habit of my to leave after the party through the balcony" Again he laughed his mistake off and nervously now walked towards the front door. If this would keep up he surely would make a stupid mistake that could possibly end up them knowing about him and his brothers. He almost reached the door when he suddenly felt an arm holding him by his elbows.

"Micky, wait!" He looked back straight in the eyes of Joy.

"If you don't want to be bother by showing your face, its al fine by me. But what if Asha wakes up? She surely wants to thank you, right?" Joy knew it was a lame excuse to hold him for it. If he wanted to give his number he surely would had already. Joy was just delaying his stay, wanting to make sure on some things and used the first excuse that came up. This whole night she had question bothering that she wanted to be answered. But if he didn't wanted to answer them, she'll just had to find out for her self. Again his arm didn't felt like a costume and with quick thinking she gave Mikey a firm lick on his arm.

"What the hell!" Mikey was shocked when he felt the wet tongue of Joy over his arm and looked at the determined look she gave him.

"Doesn't taste like damn paint to me!" Joy said back. Shit, Micky thought. This was bad very bad.

She now pushed him against the front door and looked up toward the person who was at least tree heads bigger than her. She leaned in closer not to let anyone hear what she was going to say to Mikey. Surprised of what just happened he heard the words Joy was whispering to him now.

"I don't know who you are, or 'what'. But you don't fool me" Mikey tried to read Joy's face and tried to decide on how he should be taking al this. Was she angry, disappointed or being sincere. It al didn't make sense in his head, he really screwed up this time. Again minus stealth for Mikey. He started to improvise for his last result in these circumstances and just had to play dumb with her now.

"What are you talking about" He tried to put up his loudest laugh and tried to get loose of Joy's grip. Now he knew the complains Casey had about April being unpredictable and scary.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know when people are faking and you my friend are being one dishonest human right now" She couldn't see any eyes through the big fake turtle head but Micky definitely felt her stare. At least she didn't sound angry. It was more as if she just wanted to hear the truth, nothing more. Mikey leaned in now to with a smirk on his face and whispered back in exact the same way Joy did. He admired her courage for confronting a big guy as him in comparison of her own height.

"To bad I'm not just a human." Joy looked up and stared straight in Mikey as if she knew she was right about him.

"What are you?" She asked amazed while she took in al kinds of details. The plastron felt warm under her hand while she felt his heartbeat going rapidly. She could clearly see now that his head was way different from his neck and rest of his body. She reached toward his head when suddenly Mikey took over of her hands.

"Not now, not today." And before she could say anything back Mikey left as quick as he could. Instead of taking the stair he jumped out of the window in the hallway. She tried running after him and looked out of the window to see which way he went.

"Joy, what are you doing?" Joy turned around and saw Felicity standing at the doorway. Joy could believe what she just had witnessed. She still didn't knew who or what Mikey was, but whatever it would be deep down she knew he didn't mean any harm. Joy always trusted her gut instinct even more than what her own logic would tell her. No one would ever believe her by just her story, but she knew what she felt and knew what she saw was real. Joy walked back to the apartment and putted out the light al the lights before going back to the living room. Felicity already had pulled a blanket over her and had wrapped herself with her own blanket as well.

"You can take the armchair, I'll sit her just in case she wakes up" Joy told Felicity and took a seat on the ground near where Asha was lying on the sofa. She as well had herself wrapped in a blanket started to lean against the Sofa. Morning was only a few hours away now bet she knew that she could use any few hours of sleep that she could get. After finally sitting down and rest she felt how exhausted she was. It only took a few moments before everyone in the room was quietly asleep.

Outside on the opposite building, Mikey stood on watch looking trough the windows at how the girls made themselves ready for sleep. Almost did he let his guard down in revealing himself. But just in a split second he managed to outsmart Joy and left as quickly as he could. Even though he knew he had escaped, that moment he was sure that Joy had discovered more about him that he wanted too. The lights went out in the room and thats when he knew it was his sign to go back to the lair. Sunrise was only a less than a hour away and he took off to the closed manhole he could find.

For Mikey this was surely a day to remember and he couldn't wait to share some stories of todays events. Some details he would keep for himself, but most of it was worth telling and sharing with his brothers. Surely Master splinter wouldn't agree with what he had done today maybe even scold him for it. But unlike a few years ago, he and his brothers weren't the young and naive teenagers anymore. The where adult now, non the less was he still clumsy and impulsive one. But he knew his responsibilities and was old and wise enough to judge his own calls. This day really had some up and downs he didn't see coming but it had something refreshing to socialize with some humans again, he even kind of missed it to meet new people.

Well who knew what the future had in store for him and his brothers. But what ever it could be he wouldn't mind the involvement of some new human people. Unlike his brothers who gave up that hope a long time again when they entered adulthood, Mikey never lost hope. He never had let go of the though that one day he and his brothers would meet people that would look beyond there looks and would accept them full heartedly for who they are in the inside.

Thanks again for reading. I have been writing 3 chapters in the last week. I know I won't keep this speed up but hope to upload soon again as always.
