Chapter 3
Sorry its been a while since I updated I was on vacation ! I hope you like my OCs! This chapter is going to be focused on Leo and Kristi!
At Kristi's store
"Ok let me get this straight," Kristi stated after Leo told them about his and his family's origin, "you were originally turtles and then got mutated into half turtle half human?" Kristi asked with Colleen and Shana behind her, they became interested when they heard Leo talking.
"Yeah that pretty much sums it up," Leo said trying to think of anything else that he might have forgotten about, "Oh yeah and our father and sensei is not a turtle."
"What is he then?" Colleen asked getting intrigued by their guest origins she had gotten over her fear of his looks and really enjoyed being around him, he was nice.
"Well he's a...giant rat," Leo said cringing waiting for a scream to come, but none did. "Your ok with it?" He asked more so to Colleen than anybody else.
"Yeah I am ok with it I've gotten over the whole outside appearance thing, I hope your family is as nice as you are!" Colleen said speaking for everyone. Just when Leo was about to ask a question there was a nock on the door. Kristi answered it finding a distraught Allie who had her hands full of medical supplies.
"You alright there Al?" Kristi asked trying to suppress a giggle seeing her best friend balancing all the supplies.
"Do I look alright?" Allie asked trying to get in the door to check on their injured guest. "Now let me through so I can take a look at my patient over there," she said finally pushing Kristi out of the way to get to Leo. "Ok I'm Allie for a short introduction. Now down to business," she said mostly to herself as she started probing Leo's arm.
As she moved farther up the arm he winced in pain. "Is that where the most pain is?" she asked him and only got a nod for a response, for he was trying to keep the pain down. "Well it doesn't seem broken to me and I can't take you in for x-rays so I'm just going to splint it and sling it, now let me wrap your ribs, check for a concussion, and patch you up, " she told him while putting a splint on his arm and putting it in a sling. "
After about 30 minutes Allie had everything done and Leo was sitting up, propped up by pillows, he had been moved to a more private room when Kristi brought up some chicken noodle soup. As he was finishing the bowl Kristi walked in.
"Wow this is really good soup!"
"Thanks, my mom was a cook for a restaurant down the street so I learned from her," she told him while sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Well please tell her that I love it!" he said.
"I wish I could, my parents were killed 2 years ago by a hit and run accident, she said softly looking away from Leo's eyes.
"Oh! I'm sorry I didn't know..." Leo trailed off kicking himself mentally for being so inconsiderate.
"Its all right you didn't know," she said shaking off the sad moment.
"Well you know all about me, so tell me about yourself," he said trying to break the tension that he unfortunately brought upon the two.
"First off I'm the youngest of 3 I have two older brothers, Cayden and Luke-" she was cut of by Leo.
"Sorry to interrupt but why don't you live with your older brothers? You live all alone," he asked with curiosity.
"Actually my brothers do live here they are probably out promoting our store, they own this shop I just help out," she told him.
"So what kind of store is it anyway?"
"It was a boxing studio my dad owned it he was boxing champion and he taught me and my brothers too. But after my dad died my brothers didn't want to keep it. It reminded them of my dad and they couldn't take it, so we turned it into an electronic store. I think we should have kept the boxing studio I miss it a lot," she explained, "we still have the ring but it hasn't been touched for a long time."
"Do you still box?" he asked her now seeing her lean but muscular form.
"Yeah I teach kids at the community center the basics of boxing and martial arts, my dad also but us in karate to sharpen our senses and skills in the ring."
"I also know a form of martial arts its called Ninjutsu it's a bit different than what you know," Leo stated clearly interested in her background, "We also use weapons but we are trained not to kill with them just to unarm our opponents."
"What kind of weapons do you use?" She asked.
"I use twin swords called katans they are right-" he was suddenly aware that he didn't have them he gave them to Mikey before he fought the hooded man.
"What's wrong?" Kristi asked concern clearly in her voice.
"I gave my brother my Katans before I fought the man who pushed me off the rooftop. I don't mean to be rude but I really need to get back to my brothers and make sure they're ok," he told her swinging his feet over the side of the bed and trying to stand up.
"Ok, but please let me help you home," she offered while stretching out his hand toward her.
"All right, but no one may ever know about this," Leo told her sternness clearly in his voice.
"Is it alright if we join you?" asked Shana who was peeking in through the door with Allie and Colleen behind her.
"Um...I really don't think that it would be a very good idea, I don't know how my family will react to seeing all of you," he told them leaning on Kristi for support as he tried to stand.
"Oh come on!" Colleen ranted, "We already know about you and we aren't going to tell anyone, who would believe us!" she said with her arms crossed.
"She has a point," Allie stated, "Anyway I need to tend to your wounds and make sure that arm isn't broken."
"Fine you've convinced me, but its not me that you have to worry about," Leo warned them, as the girls shushed him and they started their way to the nearest man hole.
That's the end of chapter 3! The next chapter will determine if the girls are trust worthy or not!
