I do not own TMNT or anything to do with them enjoy chapter 4 sorry its been so long


Taylor's POV

When I was a kid my mom always said never talk to strangers, and I agreed I mean think of how many weirdos there are in this world. But sometimes you have to talk to a stranger to get information you want. Like a police officer or a firefighter. The thing is

when you talk to them in a way you have to trust their best judgment. And that's the situation that was happening right now. Owen was out cold and me and Timmy were trying to wake him when I felt a hand touch my shoulder. Now, I'm not going to lie my

heart skipped a beat when that happened. Why wouldn't it I mean people panicking, my friend is out cold, I'm scared and a creepy guy is putting his hands on my without notice. Yeah my heart skipped a beat. But that's not what really scared me. A split

second after the guy touched me he crouched down and tried to touch Owen. Before me or the guy realized it I had grabbed the strangers wrist in a tight grip. From the feel of it I could tell this guy was built, I mean he must work out a lot. But nevertheless I

was ready to defend my friend by any means. I balled my free hand ready to strike the stranger until he spoke.

"Trust me I can help." He then turned and looked at me and although I couldn't see his face, he was wearing a scarf and an orange baseball cap. Idon't know why he was wearing that in this weather but that wasn't the main thing that concerned me. Now

even though I couldn't see his face I saw his eyes. My uncle always said that you can determine lies from truth by simply looking into a person's eyes. And that's what I did. What I saw were sky blue eyes full of fear sadness regret and sincerity. My uncle said

that sometimes the eye thing didn't always work, but at this moment right now I had to think and make the decision for all of us. I followed my gut instinct; I nodded in acceptance for the strangers help I picked up Timmy because I knew we were going to

have to make a run for it, and watched as the stranger picked up Owen bridal style. Once we saw a good clearing, well as good as it would get, we made a break for across the street into an alley way. There another male was waiting, I couldn't see his face

either but he calmly and carefully led us down a manhole. At first I was a little scared but then I thought of the situation at hand and let go of that fear and jumped in. a few seconds later so did the stranger that had Owen and 2 other people A big guy, about

my skin tone, and frightened Caucasian women. Once everyone was in the sewers, one by one we all looked up and heard the terrible sounds that came from above. I didn't want to hear it or remember it, I didn't want to hear it, and in a desperate attempt I

closed my eyes tight and started humming the one song that made me feel better in scary situations. 'What a wonderful world' the 'IZ' version. Funny thing is that usually it makes me feel tons better. But the moment I started humming I felt tears building up

but I fought back. I refused to cry, but it was so hard not to. I was so scared not for me but for the people above the sewers, for Timmy, I was scared for Owen. For what felt like an eternity I fought back the tears and just as I was about to let my emotions

get the best of me, I felt a tough but gentle hand touch my shoulder, and this time my heart didn't skip a beat. When I looked up to see who it was attempting to comfort me I saw it was a guy dressed like the stranger in the orange hat only this guy had a

purple ski cap. But unlike the other guy not a word was spoken from him. I saw him look side to side as if scanning the area and then he looked at the unknown male and female that came through the manhole after us.

"Because of the current situation which we all know is unknown to us. We have to take immediate action." The guy sounded very well educated and profound I was a thinker I noticed things like this.

"Yeah and who says you're in charge buddy?" I turned around to hear the big guy that came in after us speaking. And then I heard another voice speaking this one sounding a little more intimidating serious

"I do, and watch the way you talk to my brother." "Yeah and who are you guys anyway why should we trust you" just as this little argument seemed like it was about to get worse another voice put in their two cents.

"Because we don't trust you either….. But here you are" the whole area got quiet except for the heavy breathing of the two guys with the attitudes. I could feel the tension in the room getting worse and worse with each aching moment of silence. That was

until I saw a fifth unknown male in a blue scarf come up to me and give me a paper rolled in tube form.

"Kid I don't know if you trust us or not, I honestly don't expect you too." He pointed to the paper. This is a map of the tunnels out of the four of you, you seem the most calm. Follow this rout." He pointed to a green dot on the map.

"It'll take you to the nearest manhole and safest from here." "why the hell didn't you give the map to me?" both me and the guy in the blue scarf turned around seeing that the big black guy was staring at us with what looked like confusion

and anger in his eyes.

"screw that man!" the man snatched the map from the blue scarf guy then thought for a moment.

"which rout do we take guy?" I looked at the guy in the blue scarf and waited for his answer. Like the guy in the orange baseball cap

and the guy in the purple ski cap I couldn't see his face only his eyes. And I noticed them close in a way of disappointment and frustration. This guy was making it difficult for him and what I can tell from what the guy in the red hoodie said he was one of his

brothers. And now here I was stuck in the middle. I could either go with the guy that had the map and a temper problem, or I could go with these four unknown brothers who offered me to help my friend. Safety and freedom, or take the risk to help my

friend? But it was only then when I realized what I was contemplating. Owen was, no is my best friend and I know that he would take a bullet for me if the situation called for it and he risked his life trying to get us out of whatever was happening on the

surface. I looked at the guy that was giving those four brothers attitude ant spoke.

"For someone that took their help you sure are showing a lack of appreciation." the guy looked at me with a scowl.

"my mom gives me that look all the time and it doesn't work even when she does it. You know I'm right, they allowed you down here to get out of that mess up there and they rescued my friend. In my eyes I think they earned enough of our trust so we can

hear them out. But we cant do that if you don't get rid of the macho take over attitude, shut the hell up and stay calm."

the area was quiet for a short time until the women spoke

"Clyde, maybe we should just hear them out. We don't know whats going on we don't know whats happening and frankly I'm scared."

Clyde didn't speak or anything all he gave was a small grunt and basically agreeing to the terms. I let out a silent sigh to myself apparently Owen isn't the only person able to keep the peace in a time of stress. After that brief moment of awkward silence I

saw the guy that originally saved us start toward the tunnels. And we all followed.


Mikey's Pov

For a few minuets I actually led my brothers. It felt kind of good having them listen to me for a change while topside. I just wish it where better circumstances. It didn't need to be said between me and the guys that they would have to come back with us.

Their friend who was still unconscious needed Don's help. And I could tell that the girl and little boy who was with them wouldn't leave his side. Loyal to the bitter end, I know the feeling. The only people I wasn't so keen on following us, was the dude with

the serious attitude problem and his girlfriend. I don't know what it was about those two but I just didn't like they they acted toward the kids and my brothers. While walking down the tunnels the uneasy silence was getting the best of us all. Raph's

breathing was getting deeper, Leo and Don would occasionally cough or make a grunt like noise just to break the silence. And the little boy was quietly humming a tune. I most likely was the only one to hear it because he walked beside me as well as the girl.

And she every now and then gave a deep sigh possibly trying to calm herself. The only people that were quiet was the big buff guy and his girlfriend. This Silence continued right until we reached the lairs entrance, that's when every thing made a slight turn

and didn't go for any of our favors.


Leo turned around to speak to the human travelers. "until we can find out what is happening topside, or when you feel you are ready to leave, you may rest here."

Leo pulled the lever and walked in first then the rest of his brothers. it was Clyde who decided to try and put in his two cents at that very moment.

"Umm... who the hell said we are going through that door freak? Wait. you guys actually live down here?" None of the turtles gave a reply but simply looked at one another.

"I knew you freaks didn't seem right that's probably why you wont show us your faces either your criminals and..." Raph was the one who turned around and snapped at Clyde. Clearly irritated by his display of disrespect towards him and his brothers

"Look buddy ever since you came down here you been doing nothing but trying to become the alpha male of this whole group. Around here I'm the alpha male and I wont be stepping down from my title any time soon!" Leo could see his brother was no

longer irritated but enraged. He knew it was time to intervene.

"Look, Clyde was it? Sir we have our reasons why we hide our faces. can you please just respect that?" Clyde looked at Leo coldly and then smiled "sure"

Master splinter unaware of the situation simply heard his sons in the lair again and opened his door. It was mikey that saw this and reacted fast. " Blue shell!" at the sound of this message splinter closed the door gently. While the turtles paid attention to

their masters bedroom door Clyde crept around to where Mikey was standing and pulled his scarf. In a jerk mikey' s scarf along with his hat was ripped off. Now facing the humans Mikey's true form was exposed. The others turned to see what had just

happened. Raph mouthed a curse word, Leo rubbed his temples, and Don gave a deep sigh. Realizing that there was no more use in trying to hide their form any longer. They took off their disguises and placed them on the ground where they stood. Taylor

and Timmy where the first to comment at the same time "Cool. " Clyde was the second person to comment on their form in quite a shock none the less.

"What the hell are you freaks?" Don replied simply

"We're turtles and a little agitated to be honest."
