This chapter is dedicated to Letah1999 thank you so much for the favourite and review! It's because of you this chapter was up so quickly, I really really appreciate it, you made my day! So without further rambling from me here is the next chapter :)

Chloe was having the most beautiful dream, she was flying through the air, but something wasn't quite right. She wasn't flying! She was falling.

Down.

Down.

Down the rabbit hole.

It felt like she would never stop, like there was nothing else in this dream world but the wind whipping past her ears and the sick feeling in her stomach.

There was a loud crash as if something had fallen, followed by a very loud voice shouting 'Shit!' Her eyes snapped open and scanned the unfamiliar room, burning from the light but too scared to close them she began to panic. Seeing a chair soar across the room she turned automatically towards it, seeing a green and orange blur out the corner of her eye roll agilely under the bed she was laying on.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Something was keeping her hostage, she didn't know what for, but she certainly didn't want to stick around and find out. Chloe wriggled to the edge of her bed and stood up. Her calf screamed in protest, the muscles cramping painfully and she fell back down with a gasp.

"I wouldn't try that" a boyish yet somehow deep voice mused "your leg is hurt pretty bad, just rest until we can get you some pain killers"

"Who are you? Why are you keeping me here? Why should I trust you at all? Your hiding under my bed!" Chloe could not believe the absurdity of the whole situation, some creep hiding under the bed was trying to give her orders.

"Answer me!" she exclaimed hysterically, a million questions were going through her head and this weirdo couldn't even answer the first three?! What if they were keeping her captive to get her brother? She would have to make a run for it, leg be damned she wasn't going to be used as bait for anyone ever again.

Deciding to try and avoid the first meter around the bed in case this person tried to make a grab at her she calculated where to jump. Standing unsteadily up her leg began to ache. Ignoring the pain she leapt as far as she could from the bed.

Michelangelo heard her standing up, the bed was shaking above him and he guessed what she was about to do, panicking he started trying to think of options, if she jumped even more damage would be done to her leg and the agony she would endure made him cringe. Before he had time to think this crazy sewer girl jumped.

Thinking fast he rolled out from under the bed and caught her before she touched the ground. Scrambling frantically to try and cover her eyes before she discovered the brother's secrets the youngest of the brothers was not expecting Chloe's experience with hand-to-hand combat. Without turning around she delivered a strong elbow to her captors jaw, strong enough to knock Mikey to the ground.

Sprinting to the massive double doors she pushed them open in a panic, only to come face to face with 3 other massive turtles. Screaming she sprinted back into the lab, trying to barricade herself in there, surely these creatures were not intelligent, she could wait them out. Grabbing all the heaviest things she could see she began to build up a wall in front of the doors.

"Dudette calm down! We're the good guys!" Mikey exclaimed from behind her. Chloe's eyes widened in shock, she didn't expect the one who was under her bed was one of those things too, let alone it being able to talk! But here it was, a giant green turtle talking to her, saying that they were the good guys? How could they be the good guys, they were keeping her hostage!

"Prove it!" she snarled at the youngest turtle, Michelangelo stopped, how could he prove to this human that they were good? They certainly looked like the bad guys, how could he get a human to trust someone like him.

Chloe didn't expect the monster in front of her to pause and actually consider her demand, she expected it to attack her, to try and harm her in any and every way… But it wasn't. This thing was actually pondering how to gain her trust, why would it do that if it wanted to kill her? She was in no position to bargain or fight, so what did this creature want?

Jumping up with a huge grin on his face Mikey ran to the door and began unstacking all the objects Chloe had put there.

"My brothers will not come in here" he promised, "but I will be back in a minute, don't barricade the doors, you'll have to come out sooner or later anyway."

Turning to her he looked deep into her eyes, "we will never harm you, I swear." With this last promise he ran out the door.

"I have an idea!" Mikey exclaimed as he ran out of the lab. Raph was the first one to see him and made straight for the lab.

"Raph stop!" Mikey yelled. "I have an idea to make her trust us but I really need your help, ok?"

"Oh good you got out" Leo had just come around the corner from the kitchen, "what happened with the human?" Donnie looked over at Mikey's guilty face.

"Never mind" he sighed, already figuring out his younger brothers involvement, and the last thing any of them needed right now was Raph getting angry at Mikey and causing a big scene.

"I promised her none of you would go in there, now I have a plan but I need you to trust me, ok? You can all come in but one at a time and when I call you."

His older brothers turned and stared at him, flabbergasted, since when did Mikey ever give orders? That was usually Leo's area of expertise, however the young turtles glare was unwaveringly determined.

"What do you need?" Donnie asked with a gapped grin.
