Author's note: Sorry for waiting so long to update this, my computer just HAD to go and break. Thought I'd do the next part from Tatianna's point of view. Anything italicized is either thoughts or her point of view, it will be clarified.
The sunset seemed quite longing to her, her ears twitching frantically. Wishing for a sign that he was coming. And praying that he was. But why would someone ever care about a freak like her? And he wasn't another freak. Not like her. He was different.
He knew how to be undetected. Something she never knew how to be.
Brisk winter winds grabbed her arms and tugged, begging her to let go and float. She turned their offers down and waited, the current of air stinging her furred skin like knives. Quiet padding across the rooftops gave her some sing, some significance. Something.
Her heart lifted ten-fold when the footsteps neared her and she could not help but smile as she remained facing the other way. He was trying to scare her. She laughed and began to speak.
"Hey, Red. Though you wouldn't….." She cut off as she faced the one behind her. He looked similar; yes, he was a mutant. He was similar; yes, he was a turtle. Very similar; yes, he wore a bandana but it was blue. He was obviously not the one she was waiting for. She stuttered over the next few words.
"Can I help you?" She was trying to stay calm. The other did not smile or even show a flicker of anything but hate.
"I don't understand why my brother is so interested in you." Her nostrils flared as she balled her fists.
"You have no right." She had to at least be correct about this. About something. About anything. Someone.
"I know my brother." That was too far, even if she barely knew the two.
"I thought I knew my sister, too. But she handed me over the first chance she got." She was pushing limits now, fighting the one in blue. He fought back.
"Are you saying my brother is evil?" She did not respond.
"You tell him I am evil, how is that much different?" She waited for him to respond, but he waited. Why she was talking to him, she did not know. She just felt as if she needed to.
"I don't trust anyone who steals." She cocked her head to one side.
"You steal. And you don't even know it." She said it so defiantly that the turtle had his fists balled in irritation. She was upsetting him, she was winning. And he was too afraid to lose.
"I'm the hero. You're a villain. It's that simple." She shook her head, feline ears shifting back and forth.
"Nothing is ever that simple." Her response came so quickly; he was gritting his teeth now. She changed the subject as quickly as her lips would let her form words. "Your name?" He did not calm down, or even realize what was happening.
"It's Leo, but seriously. I want you to stay away from my brother." Again, her head was cocked.
"I feel that he cares about me, so if I move away from him, he will only come closer to me. He wants something. Something. I do not know what, but I know he is ambitious." Her words held a certain grace that normal people would eat right up, but the other mutant (Leo) did not buy it for a moment.
"Like you said, nothing can ever be that simple." He responded with fires in his eyes, delicate blue fire. She shook her head once more, this time folding her arms.
"Do not turn my words against me, Leo." She spat his name at him, watching him cringe. He seemed annoyed, more so that he had been only moments ago. She smiled, partially showing off her pointed fangs, partially to show him she was not dark, only stained gray.
