Out on another patrol. Let's see what happens for the turtles tonight. Enjoy!
(Leo's POV)
It's been quiet lately.
Almost nothing has happened in the past week.
The only thing that I'm happy about is that Donnie has finally started to actually go to sleep. I guess sensei was right, Donnie did eventually snap out of it. I still see him working on something in his lab though, but I'm not not exactly sure what yet.
I look back to everyone.
"Okay guys, let's split up to cover more ground. Just send out a call on the T-phone if anything comes up." I say and we all go off in separate directions.
I was trying to stay focused on my surroundings but I couldn't help but think back to the last time I talked to Karai. It always twists up my stomach just thinking about it. No matter how much I try to stop thinking about her, the more my mind taunts me about it.
Again, my consequences of flirting with the enemy.
Nothing really was going on so I sent out a txt to my brothers to regroup back on the top of Anderson Apartments where we started.
I got there first and Donnie and Mikey weren't too far off. We waited almost 15 minutes and Raph still hasn't shown up.
"Hey, where's Raph?" Mikey asks. "Good question." I say, probably the first time I said that about something Mikey said. Donnie called Raph's T-phone. "He's not picking up. That or he lost his phone." Donnie says, looking a little perplexed.
Great, just what I needed tonight.
"Donnie, try to track Raph's location." I say. Time to track down Raph the hard way.
"What do you think happened to Raph?" Donnie asks.
"Maybe he was attacked by a horde of flesh eating zombies!" Mikey says over dramatic. "I doubt it Mikey. He's probably just ignoring us." I say rationally. I wouldn't be surprised if he was.
We eventually get to the street that Donnie picked up Raph's location from. We were on Emerson Blvd. It held the lecture halls for this college that, from what Donnie says, has the best science programs in the area.
What would Raph be doing here? The Foot Clan, and especially Kraang, have never been sighted here ever. Not to mention any place that has a bunch of brainy people is usually the last place Raph would want to hang around.
We scouted around looking for Raph.
"Found 'em." Mikey says pointing across the street at Raph crouched behind the ledge of this building. He looked like he was zeroed in on something.
"What's he doing?" I say to myself confused. Then I saw him look up over the ledge a little more, still staring at something then I saw him smiling? I haven't seen him smile like that since Spike. What could he possibly…?
"Hey Donnie, Leo; I think I got an idea what Raph's doing." Mikey says walking away from the ledge of building; smiling and trying to fight back from cracking up. Donnie and I look at each other confused before looking over the edge of the building.
"No way, this is just too much." Donnie says and I could tell he was trying not to laugh either.
For once I smirked and shook my head. This is was the first time I was able to find something funny and laugh about it in a while.
"What do you know?" I say still grinning a little slyly.
(25 minutes earlier)
(Raph's POV)
I got to the end of our east perimeter.
Then I got to dork avenue with all those brainy geeks from the college. I knew Leo would be on me if I didn't look it over so I just decided to do a quick sweep and then get the heck out of here.
I did a quick look over. Just as I thought, nothing.
I was about to turn back when... "Night guys!" I heard someone call out.
I looked down at the street again. It was this girl walking out of one of the buildings wearing a backpack.
She had dark brown hair that went down a little past her shoulders and held back by a black head band. She had headphones around her neck and she wore glasses, but she didn't look like a total dork.
She was actually… really cute. I would never say that out loud, ever.
I knew I should maybe head back, but I didn't. I wanted to see what this chick was doing. I tried to lay low on the rooftop as I followed her.
She eventually got to this bus stop and sat down on the bench.
I don't know what I'm doing? I'm pretty much stalking this girl for no real reason. But, I just kept watching her. For a girl with glasses, she looked a little... edgy. She had a black stud in each ear but on her left ear she had this bar looking thing going through the top part of it.
She smiled as she put her headphones on and pulled out an mp3 player. I was wondering what she was listening to.
As she reached into her backpack, I was looking at her clothes. She was wearing grey tennis shoes with dark skinny jeans and a pink t-shirt with a dark denim jacket over it. Her shirt had something on it but I couldn't see what it was.
Then she pulled out something from her backpack… no way. She pulled out a comic book. I tried to squint to see what it was.
I smirked at what she was reading, Corps Cadavres.
"No way." I say to myself and I smile even more.
Cute, edgy, and likes to read comic books, and one of my favorites at that… Man this girl has everything!
I saw her nod her head slightly to her music as she was reading. I just kept watching her, smiling for some reason.
"Whatcha doin' Raph?" I heard and whip my head behind me. I knew Mikey said that. I saw all my brothers standing there grinning at me. I get up quickly and cross my arms and say, "Nothing."
"Didn't look like nothing." Leo says grinning knowingly at me.
"Yeah Raph. Who's your girlfriend?" Donnie taunts like me and Mikey usually taunt him about April. I grit my teeth, wanting to just punch in all their stupid grins.
"Aw, look. Raph's blushing." Mikey says and laughs and Leo and Donnie laugh with him. I clench my fists. "I am not!" I say defensively. "Sure you're not Raph." Donnie says and grins at me.
"Aww, he looks so cute all defensive." Mikey says nudging my arm and I reach my hand out fast and grab him by the throat, fed up. "Uncle. Raph, uncle." Mikey says, struggling to breathe and tapping out on my arm. I let go.
"C'mon guys, let's go home." Leo says with a slight laugh. They all take off and I look over my shoulder and still see her sitting on that bench. "Raph! C'mon!" I heard Mikey call out. I roll my eyes and run after them.
"Took you long enough." Donnie taunts. I just ignore it.
"So, Raph. Who's the lucky girl?" Leo asks, taunting me a little with a knowing smirk on his face. "Like I'd tell you." I said.
But then I started thinking. I didn't even know her name. I wouldn't ever say this out loud, but I'm really hoping I run into her again and maybe next time, I can find out who she is.
Hope you guys liked this chapter. It was mostly just filler, but alluding filler if I were to call it anything. Who was that girl that Raph was watching? Well, I'll let you guys figure out who she is on your own for now. Thanks for reading and please review.
