"Yeah, okay…no I understand. Work is work. I'll see you in a few weeks."

Izzy sighs and hangs up the phone before lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling. She groans before rolling over and softly shuffling to the kitchen. When she opens the fridge the drawers and shelves are bare making her frown. She pulls out her phone as she shuts the door. Her thumb flies over the numbers before waiting for the ringing to stop.

"Hamato residence."

Her blue eyes go wide at the formal voice.

"Oh! Hi Leonardo. Um, is Raph there?"

"I'll get him for you."

Before she can thank him phone clinks as it's set onto the table letting her know no one was there anymore. She puffs hair out of her face before leaning against the counter.

"Yeah?"

"Hey Raph."

"Izzy? Sorry, didn't know it was you."

She chuckles and smiles.

"Oh yeah? Is that how you greet all new people?"

"I have a certain charm about me."

"I guess you can call it that."

Raph chuckles and watches Leo disappear out the lair door and sighs.

"What's up Iz?"

"You busy tonight?"

Raph pauses to think before sitting at the kitchen table.

"Besides trainin, no."

"Great! I'll bring food."

He raises a brow and nods to Don as he walks into the kitchen.

"Is that Izzy?"

Raph nods to the brainy turtle who smiles slightly.

"She coming by tonight?"

Raph nods to him.

"Who is that? Donnie?"

"Yeah."

"Tell him I say hi!"

Raph makes a face before shaking his head.

"Izzy you'll be here in like an hour."

"So?"

The large turtle sighs before glancing at his younger brother.

"Izzy says hi."

Donnie chuckles and nods before pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"He nodded."

"Rude."

Raph laughs and checks the clock on the wall.

"Hey we got trainin. See ya in a bit?"

"Yeah I'll be down soon."

"With food?"

"Do I ever come without food?"

Raph chuckles and stands up.

"Yer right. See ya."

"Bye Raphael."

He hangs up the phone and smiles briefly before turning and seeing his brother smirking.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Raph raises a brow and Donnie just chuckles before finishing his drink.

"Training at 6?"

Raph nods and Donnie smiles as he walks off leaving a confused Raphael in his wake. A few blocks away Izzy places her order for Thai and is on her way soon afterwards. She walks through the streets with a smile before slipping down a small alley and pulling the lid off of a sewer. She steps down and grabs the food before carefully putting the cover back. As she makes her way down the steps the cold air in the pipes makes her shiver.

"I should have worn pants."

As she walks through the sewer she carefully focuses on the different markers Raph taught her to notice before ending up at their door. She pulls the lever and steps into the warm home and heads to the kitchen. After putting the food on their table she looks around and unzips her coat as she walks further into their home.

"Again my students."

Izzy smiles before heading towards the dojo and stands in the doorway. She watches them move through their katas and sighs at their preciseness. Splinter looks over and sees the dirty blonde before smiling.

"Come in Ms. Isadora."

Izzy blushes before slipping her boots off and stepping into the padded room. She carefully walks around the boys and politely sits beside their father. The elderly rats eyes follow his son's movements but smiles when he sees her watching them closely as well.

"How are you today Ms. Isadora?"

"I'm very well actually. How are you?"

He smiles slightly before looking down at her.

"I am as good as I could possibly be."

Izzy nods and can see the worry in his eyes.

"Hey babe what food did you bring?"

She looks over at Mikey who smirks at her through his movements.

"Thai."

"My stomach is thanking you already Iz."

"Focus Michelangelo."

"Hai Sensei."

She chuckles and shakes her head with a smile before focusing on Raph. He glances over at her before continuing with his movement. Her eyes linger on him as he carefully moves through the kata and she smiles as his arms move and bulge before he flips over and lands on one leg. He was precise and careful but he clearly had so much power behind his different motions.

"…wow."

He glances over at her again and stumbles when he sees her blushing slightly as she stares at him. He sighs and curses under his breath as he gets back into position trying to keep himself from getting even more flustered. Izzy blushes and looks down before Splinter smiles and nods to them.

"You are done for the day. Good job my students."

Mikey smiles and runs out of the dojo with a laugh.

"Dibs on the shower first dudes!"

Raph races after him and Izzy stands when Master Splinter does.

"I am glad you have become such an important part of this family Ms. Isadora."

She smiles down at him before nodding.

"Me too. I'm very lucky to have met you and your sons."

"I am sure they feel the same way."

He smiles up at her before making his way towards his room.

"I ordered you some curry chicken and rice if you get hungry."

"You spoil me young one."

She smiles and shrugs.

"That's what kids are supposed to do."

"Tell my sons that."

He laughs and waves to her.

"Enjoy your night."

She nods and walks out of the dojo before grabbing her boots. Donnie walks out of his room and smiles at her before walking towards the kitchen.

"You beat Mikey and Raph?"

"No way. I just have my own shower."

She smirks.

"You're crafty Donnie."

"I'm aware."

He smiles at her making her laughs as she starts to unpack the food. He watches her before grabbing a few plates and silverware and setting them onto the table.

"You didn't have to do this."

"I know. You guys just always feed me so we're going to switch off from now on."

Donnie nods before getting a mug of coffee.

"Try getting Mikey to agree to that. He loves cooking for you."

"And I love eating his food, but still. He can't change my mind."

Donnie chuckles and nods.

"Well good for you. If his sad look doesn't work on you, you're the only one."

She smiles before opening one of the containers and pouring some of it onto a plate. Donnie watches her before following her lead.

"It looks great. Thanks Izzy."

"No problem! Buying food for you guys just gives me an excuse to order everything I like and not feel guilty about it."

Mikey walks into the kitchen and smiles at the smell of the food.

"Smells great babe."

He quickly loads up a plate of food and goes for some more chicken but she grabs it from him quickly.

"Hey leave some for Raph! You know this is his favorite."

She gives him a look and a smiling Raph lifts the container from her hands as he walks into the kitchen.

"Thanks Iz."

She beams at him before raising a brow at Mikey. He rolls his eyes and pulls the chair out from the table.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah you're great."

She sticks her tongue out at Mikey before laughing and digging into her food. They all settle around the table and joke as they eat. Mikey eyes her again and smirks.

"Why're you so dressed up?"

"Hm?"

He points at her with his fork.

"You're in a dress."

"And you're wearing makeup."

She chuckles at Mikey and Donnie before looking down at her black dress and blue belt before shrugging.

"Just one of those days."

"Oh yeah? You have an interview?"

She chuckles and shakes her head.

"No, I just felt like dressing up today."

Mikey looks at her in confusion.

"You just do that?"

She nods and looks at him.

"Yeah. When I feel shitty I dress up to convince myself I'm feeling fine."

They all look at her but she goes back to eating her food. Mikey glances at Raph who just shrugs and plays with his food.

"Well, ya look nice."

She smiles while looking at her food and glances up at him.

"Thanks Raph."

"Yeah I almost forgot you were a girl."

She quickly tosses a piece of chicken at Mikey's face and smirks when it hits his forehead. Donnie and Raph laugh before continuing to eat their food. Izzy continues to smirk to herself before standing up and bringing her disk to the sink. Raph watches her before they all turn their eyes to the doorway as Leo walks in. He glances down at them disinterestedly as he walks to the fridge and grabs a drink. As she turns she can see all of the turtles on edge and frowns before noticing Leo had walked in.

"Oh, hey Leo."

He glances at her quickly before shutting the refrigerator. She feels her smile falter slightly but she doesn't let his cold personality deter her.

"I ordered Thai if you want some. There's more than enough."

He stares at her before turning and walking out of the kitchen. She frowns and Mikey looks at her sadly.

"Hey don't worry about him Iz. He's just being a jerk."

She shakes her head.

"…He just seems sad."

"He is sad."

They all look at Donnie and Izzy nods with a sad look before changing the subject.

"Do you guys want to watch a movie?"

"Yeah babe. I'll go and pick one out."

"No romance Mikey!"

He salutes her before disappearing into the lair. She smiles before picking up his plate and sticking it in the sink. Raph and Donnie follow her lead before slowly walking towards the couch. She smirks at Raph before running to grab her favorite spot. Raph chuckles and easily flips over the couch and takes her spot making her frown. He smiles up at her as he gets comfortable against the couches armrest. She sighs and sits on the other side and wraps a blanket around her waist. Mikey walks in as Donnie sits on the other couch and glances at her.

"You cold babe?"

"No. I just didn't want to have to worry about sitting like a lady."

Raph laughs and Mikey shakes his head before holding up two DVD cases.

"Curse of the Cabin or Vampires Vixens 3?"

Izzy raises a brow and chuckles.

"Vampire Vixens 3? That sounds like a porno name."

"How do you know it's not?"

Mikey waggles his brows at her and she rolls her eyes in amusement.

"Curse of the Cabin."

He nods and quickly puts it in before sitting beside Izzy. She crosses her legs beneath herself making sure the blanket covers her legs. Raph puts his arm on the back of the couch before glancing down at her. Izzy smiles up at him and they all watch as the cheesy intro plays.

"Now I'm excited."

Raph smiles at the happy expression on her face before watching Mikey flip over the coffee table and cross his legs beneath himself next to Izzy. She throws the blanket over his legs and smiles at him before turning back towards the TV. The older turtle looks over at Mikey who grins impishly at him as he throws his arm over the back of the couch right behind Izzy's head. Raph narrows his eyes slightly and turns his gaze back to the television to try and focus on the movie, but he just couldn't. Every movement Izzy made his body stiffened even more and then it had happened, she had fallen asleep. Halfway through the movie he had noticed her slowly falling asleep but she would constantly wake herself up. Her eyes would close and then her head would drop but she would quickly pick it back up and stare wide eyed at the movie. Eventually she hadn't popped right back up and she slowly fell over so her head rested on his shoulder. His shoulder! Raph glances down at the aforementioned part of his body before internally groaning. This was not how he wanted to spend his night. Izzy shifts in her sleep and mumbles something before rubbing her nose and getting comfortable on his shoulder again. Fuck. Raph looks over at Mikey who just smirks and shakes his head with a chuckle. His eyes travel over to Donnie who laughs before standing up to turn the movie off.

"Help."

Mikey laughs at Raph's panicked whisper before throwing the other DVD at Donnie.

"Wake her up dude. She's gonna be pissed she missed the whole movie."

Raph nods and looks down at the dirty blonde before staring at her. Her curled hair fell over her cheek and her long eyelashes cast a shadow onto the skin below. Has she always had freckles?

"Dude?"

Raph jumps slightly at his brothers voice and Izzy whips her head up knocking hers together with Raph.

"Holy monster balls! Ow!"

She grabs her head with a wince before looking around the room wildly. Her eyes land on Raph before she winces again.

"Shit, sorry Raph."

She gingerly touches his cheek where she hit him and he shifts uncomfortably. She quickly retracts her fingers and smiles sheepishly.

"Sorry. Personal space."

Izzy looks over at the other two boys before frowning.

"I slept through it? Dang. Now I'm going to have to watch it by myself later."

"That was a hell of a swear Iz."

She laughs as she scoots to the edge of the couch before raising her arms and stretching. Raph watches her and sees her arm muscles flexing as she moves. Her head rolls to the side and she smiles tiredly before standing up letting the blanket slide to the floor. Raph looks away and sighs before slowly standing and walking off to the kitchen. Izzy's eyes follow him and she smiles slightly before picking the blanket up and putting it back on the couch.

"Hey babe."

Mikey plops himself down on the couch and smiles up at her before happily eating his food.

"You slept through most of the movie."

She chuckles and nods.

"Thanks for not waking me up."

"Hey, you were on Raph's shoulder, not mine."

Mikey smirks at her before looking at her outfit again.

"So, are you going to tell me what's wrong?"

She quirks a brow before looking down at him.

"What are you talking about?"

"In the kitchen you said that you dress up when something's wrong, so, what's wrong?"

She frowns and shrugs before fixing her dress. Her eyes focus on the floor and Mikey frowns in understanding.

"It's about Danny."

She glances at him and shakes her head slowly.

"…no."

He raises a brow and she sighs.

"He's leaving for a few weeks on business again."

"Oh, so you're going to miss him."

Izzy slowly nods but her lack of an audible answer makes Mikey look back up from his food. He watches a range of emotions cross her face before sitting up.

"Izzy-"

She smiles at him before motioning to her head.

"I'm going to get ice."

He nods and watches her walk off sadly. Izzy takes a deep breath as she walks into the kitchen and opens the freezer before looking for an icepack. After not finding one she shuts the freezer door and rests her forehead against the metal.

"…are you looking for something?"

Izzy turns and stares at Leo who looks at her like she's the last person he'd want to see.

"Uh, icepack."

He glances at Donnie as he walks into the kitchen and looks at her again before disappearing. She makes a face as she rolls her eyes and looks at Donnie.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Donnie nods and motions back out to the TV.

"We're going to watch another movie."

She nods and smiles before running a hand across her face.

"I'm just gonna get something out of this…"

Donnie eyes the metal box she's touching and nods slowly.

"The fridge? Okay…take your time."

Izzy chuckles at his befuddled expression before walking out of the room. After a few seconds Izzy shuts her eyes and takes a few deep breaths to keep herself together. Her eyes slowly open and she sees Raph staring at her from the doorway.

"…you all need bells."

He nods simply and she smiles quickly at him.

"…what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Isadora."

She groans at her full name being used as Raph walks over to her. He stares down at her and watches her stare stubbornly at his chest. She focuses on every imperfection in his plastron and tries to keep her face from turning red. He smiles slightly and gently picks her face up.

"Hey. My eyes are up here."

She smirks and locks eyes with him.

"You're funny."

"I have a charm rememba?"

She shuts her eyes and leans her head back against the fridge. Raph watches her curiously before rubbing the back of his neck.

"…Listen, I don't know what's botherin' ya, and you don't have ta tell me…but you do look nice today…"

She opens her eyes and looks at him curiously before he nods and walks out of the room. She continues to stare at the doorway before cracking a genuinely happy smile. He clearly had no idea what so say, and yet him telling her she looked nice turned her whole mood around...and that embarrassed look he got was so cute. Izzy's eyes widen and she blinks a few times. Cute? She thought he was cute? I mean yeah, he was in great shape and had a great sense of humor and made her smile, but cute?

"…oh Iz, you're in trouble."

She shakes her head before quickly walking back out to the couches.
