Disclaimer: I do not own the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 90's movies I only own Scarlet and anything I add into the plot.

3rd Person

After a few days at the old house the four turtles, April and Casey went back home. Back down to the turtles old home.

"Guess it's hard to get good maid service in a sewer." Casey said looking around the place. "Maybe you guys should try Roto-rooter. Huh?"

"Would you quit complaining?" April said, rolling her eyes at him. "It's just for the night."

"I still don't see why we don't get started right away." Raphael said impatiently.

"It's been a long drive, Raph..." Leo said "and before we go out advertising to The Foot that we're back... we could all use a few hours' sleep."

"Yea, I know, you're right. I'm just..." A sudden noise coming from the cabinet stopped him.

"What's that?" Mikey went over to it. The four surround it and got ready to fight. Mikey pulled it open and they all 'growled'. They looked at the cowering teen.

"Danny?!" April said.

"Don't shoot!" He said still covering his head.

"I don't think it's loaded, kid." Raph said turning away. April pushed through the guys and pulled Danny up.

"Danny, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, where'd he come from?" Mikey asked

"Beats me." Don said shrugging.

"I-I ran away from home."

"Oh god, your father's going to have kittens." April exclaimed, she walked over to the payphone "Does this thing work?"

"No No," Danny said stopping her, "Please don't call. Just… Just let me stay here the night with you. We can call him in the morning. I promise."

"Danny, listen... Your dad" April started but was cut off by Casey

"H-Hold on Hold Hold Hold it, Hold it. Now, What is all this.. talk about spending the night down here?" He put his hands on his hips.

"Hmm, you're a claustrophobic." Donny said before laughing at him.

"Do you want a fist in the mouth?" Casey said going over to him.

"Mm-mm." Don puts his hands up then crosses them again.

"I've never even looked at another guy before." Casey said. Don started laughing again.

"What he means is that you're afraid of enclosed areas." April clarified trying not to smile.

"Afraid? What, me? Is that what you think?" Raph came over smirking. "I don't have to take this stuff about being afraid." Don tried to hold in his laughter. "I'm going to sleep in the truck." As soon as the door closed the three burst out in laughter.

Danny walked over to the couch. He contemplated on whether or not to tell them about Scarlet. He knew that April and the guys were probably worrying but he couldn't tell them without being questioned. He didn't want April telling his father about what he'd been up to.

Later that night he was plagued by echoing thoughts and woke with a jolt. He got up and crept past Don and Mikey and left the sewers. Opening the manhole he looked around and climbed out. The sound of the cover moving against the ground woke Casey who had been asleep in the truck. He watched as Danny climbed out and ran off. Casey got out of the truck and tailed him. He followed him all the way to an old abandoned warehouse. He climbed over the fence and headed inside. Once inside he saw a bunch of kids and the things that had been stolen from off the street, games, pool tables, stereos etc. He ducked when a foot ninja walked by. His eyes narrowed and he followed him.

Scarlet's POV

I could hear music coming from the other room. My stomach hurt from hunger and my throat felt dry. My back was still sore and my head would occasionally feel like someone was hitting it with a hammer. The Shredder tried to make me talk a few times; I couldn't betray the guys, so I kept quiet. Let's just say he has no shame in hitting a girl. I had just woken up from a nap but I was too tired to move so I just let my head hang there with my eyes closed.

"I have not seen you for days." Splinter said suddenly. I opened my eyes slightly to see Danny walk into view, but my eyes closed again.

"Yea I've been down at.." He hesitated, "My hideout a lot lately." I heard him walk over.

"And do you now hide from your surrogate family as well?" I heard him sit down on a box.

"I don't know. H-How is she?" I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me.

"I'm fine Danny." He frowned. He got up and held out something.

"I swiped you a water bottle."

"Be great if I could drink it." I wiggled my hands.

"Oh, uh, here." He opened the bottle and put it to my lips, tilting it. I drank the water gulping it down. He pulled it away.

"Thanks. Give some to Splinter too." He nodded standing up. He tilted the water bottle for Splinter who quietly drank it. After Danny sits back down. Splinter began to tell us all about his old master Yoshi. How he learned ninjutsu and about Oruku Saki.

"Whatever happened to this Oruku Saki?" Danny asked.

"No one really knows. But you wear his symbol upon your brow." Danny reached up and touches the red bandana on his forehead. He took it off and looked at the symbol. He dropped it to the floor.

Doesn't that mean that Oruku Saki is..

My thoughts were cut off when a scary voice made Danny jump and turn around.

"What are you doing in there, boy?" I saw Shredder standing there.

"Nothing." Shredder looked down and saw the bandana on the ground.

"Where have you been?"

"Nowhere."

"You're lying to me."

"No."

"And you're hiding something as well." Suddenly he put his spikes on his hand right next to Danny's face. He suddenly pulled a paper from Danny's pocket. He looked at it then turned to the guy standing next to him. "They're back!" Danny followed after him quietly.

"Danny!"

With Danny

Danny crouched down and listened to Shredder talking to Tatsu.

"There will be no mistake this time. I go myself. And the rat... kill it.

"And the girl?" Tatsu asked.

"Her too. We have no use for her." Danny's eyes widened. He ran off but is stopped by a foot ninja who covered his mouth.

"What do you want?" Danny said his voice muffled. The ninja took off his mask and Danny saw that it was Casey.

"Recognize me now, kid? Hey, what's the deal?"

"You got to come with me!"

"What are you talking about, come with you?"

"They're gunna kill Splinter and Scarlet."

"Scarlet?"

"She's a friend of April and the others. You gotta help me."

"Alright let's go."

Scarlet's POV

I looked up when I hear running footsteps. Suddenly Danny and Casey ran in.

Never thought I'd see Mr. Hockey again.

He looked at Splinter in shock. He snapped out of it.

"Well, where are the keys?" Danny got the ones for Splinters locks and tossed them to Casey. Danny ran over to me.

"Who are you?" Splinter asked.

"The name's Casey Jones; a friend." Danny unlocked my chains.

"Thank you." Danny helped me up; catching me when I stumbled a bit. "I'm good help Splinter."

"Let's get out of here." Casey said but stopped seeing the ninja guy and a bunch of teenagers. The guy 'huu'ed and Casey got in front of him mimicking him. "Ya know a little" He made a spraying motion towards his mouth, "Primatene might just help to clear that up there." The guy punched Casey making him fall into some boxes. "That's gunna cost you, Tinkerbell." He hit him again. "I don't think..I don't think that you're listening." He once again knocked him back into boxes. "You know, I'm starting to pick up... on a little language barrier thing going here." He kicked him in the gut then the face then hit him in the face making him fall yet again. Suddenly the guy was hit in the gut with something and Casey stood up with a golf club. "Fore!" He swung and hit the guy sending him flying into a crate, also knocking him out. Casey kissed the club. "I'll never call golf a dull game again."

"Well, What are we just standing here for?! Let's get him!" One kid in a white shirt said.

"Do you want to be first, Junior?" Casey said looking at another golf club..

"We have a loyalty to The Shredder."

"The Shredder uses you." Splinter said "He poisons your minds to obtain that which he desires. He cares nothing for you or the people you hurt."

"We're a family."

"Family?" I said "You call this a family. And that…" I pointed to the unconscious guy. "I may not have one but even I know that this isn't a family." Casey went back over to Splinter and he and Danny helped him walk past all the teens with me walking behind them.

All along the way all the teens were following us.

"So much for Family huh?" Casey said. I looked over and saw April climbing out of the sewers.

"April!" I ran over.

"Scarlet?" She got out. "Scarlet where have you been, we're all been so worried. Where's Splinter?"

"He's right over…" I looked over to where Danny and Casey were. "Where'd he go? Uh, he's fine though." I saw Casey run over to a garbage truck. "What's Casey…" I heard him 'yee haw' and watched as he backed the garbage truck to hit the fire escape making some ninja fall off. I looked up and saw Splinter. "There he is." I ran over to the ladder and climbed up but before I reached the top I grabbed onto the ledge and moved across and then climbed up so no one noticed. I watched as Shredder charged at Splinter but Splinter used Mikey's nun chucks and soon Shredder was hanging over the side.

"Death comes for us all, Oruku Saki... but something much worse comes for you. For when you die, it will be..." The Shredder threw something at Splinter but he caught it in turn letting Shredder fall into the back of the garbage truck. "Without honor." I watched as Casey pulled a lever saying,

"Oops." The Shredder was crushed. I looked back and saw the guys all in a group hug with Splinter.

"Splinter, are you OK?"

"We were so worried."

"Kids." Splinter said. The hug dispersesd. Suddenly Raph looked up and saw me.

"Scarlet." He rushed over. "I-I'm sorry you got involved in all of this." He said putting his hands on my arms. "I should 'a been able to protect ya. It's my fault you were taken. I wasn't payin attention and I was-" I put a hand up to stop him.

"It's alright Raph it wasn't your fault. You were out-numbered."

"Did they hurt ya?"

"I'm fine, bruises heal." He grit his teeth.

"Listen, Scar, what I said before on the roof I… I wasn't thinkin straight. I was angry at Leo and I took it out on you. I didn't mean ta-"

"It's okay Raph. But you were right." I gave him a sad smile.

"Hey Raph! Come look." Raph went back over and I looked over the edge to see April and Casey kissing. I smiled.

Apparently I missed a lot.

"Alright April!" Raph shouted.

"Alright Casey!" Mikey shouted.

"Yeah! That's the way to go!" Don said.

"We were Awesome!" Leo said.

"Bodacious!" Mikey said.

"Bitchin." Raph said.

"Uhhh" Don said. He held a hand up.

"Gnarly." Mikey suggested.

"Radical." Leo said

"Totally tubular, dude." Raph said kinda petting over Don's head in a wave motion.

"Wicked!" Mikey said

"Hellacious!" Leo said

"Uh, mega..." Don stops. Splinter cleared his throat.

"I have always liked... Cowabunga."

"Cowabunga!" All the guys cheered raising a hand each. Splinter laughed.

"I made a funny." He said. I giggled to myself and smiled watching the guys start dancing around. I looked down then turned around.

Guess I should probably get outta here. The cops are down there and if one sees me they'll send me back to the foster home.

I sighed and started to walk away when,

"Hey where are you going?" I turned back to see the five of them looking at me. I swallowed, suddenly nervous being the center of attention.

"W-well, I.. Um.. I figured since everything was over, and I was pretty much useless anyway; all I did was get captured." I mumbled the last part. "I-I figured you wouldn't want me butting in on your family." I looked down more letting my hair fall to cover my face. "I-I was just gunna go.."

"What are you talking about?" Leo said.

"Where would you go? It's too dangerous for you to be on your own." Donny said. "Plus I gotta look at your injuries."

"Well, I'll be on my own for a while so I might as well get used to being alone. And I'm fine Donny." I said sadly.

"No." I looked up at Raph.

"Huh?"

"You're not gunna be alone." He turned to Splinter. "Master Splinter, can she stay with us?" I looked to Splinter, a tiny hopeful glint in my eyes.

"The sewers are not the best home for her." I frowned and looked down again. I felt the familiar pain of not being wanted hurting in my chest. "But perhaps Ms. O'Neil would be about to give her a home." I looked up again.

"I wouldn't wanna be a burden on her either." I said shaking my head.

"I'm sure she wouldn't think of you as a burden." Leo said.

"Hey I know!" Mikey said. "Why doesn't April adopt you?" I shook my head.

"I doubt she'd want to do that. Plus no one adopts teenagers."

"But you're not just any teenager, you're Scarlet. And we'll-" Leo started to say but is cut off.

"Scarlet!"

"Huh?" I looked over the edge to see April looking up.

"Scarlet!" She called again motioning me down.

"Uh.."

"Go on, we'll still be here. We can't exactly go back to our home in the sewers the foot knows where that is." I nodded and climbed down.

"Y-yea?"

"Thank goodness you're alright. You ran off and I didn't know where you went." April said brushing the hair out of my face.

"Sorry."

"Don't be. Listen, I want you to stay with me. I don't want you living on the streets. I'll get a new apartment and you can live with me as long as you need to." I thought about asking her about adoption but I pushed the thought back.

"Thanks April."

"No problem. But could you and the guys do me a favor? Could you go to the antique shop and see if anything is salvageable."

"Of course."

"Thanks." I climbed back up.

"Hey guys, April wants us to go to the antique shop and see if anything is salvageable. Also what does she mean by that?"

"Oh the place burned down." Mikey said.

"What? How?"

"Yea, when did this happen?" Raph asid.

"When you were unconscious." Donny said.

"Wow, poor April. Oh, s-she said I could stay with her when she gets a new place, she might let you guys stay as well until you get a new home."

"Did you talk to her about adoption?" Leo said.

"Um, no, I couldn't bring it up; I'll try to ask later."

"Well let's go!" Mikey says. "Want a ride?" Mikey said crouching down.

"Really?"

"Sure, hop on!" He nodded. I climbed onto his back putting my arms around his neck. "Woo! Let's go!" He started running. I couldn't help but smile.

One more chapter then the sequel in a few days. (I like the sequel better cause I like the 2nd movie better anyways.)
