Leo's P.o.V.

When Alyssa came into the dojo, her face was red and when Raph followed behind her, he had a huge grin on his face. What happened? Mikey came in with a somewhat smug look on. Seriously, what's going on here?

"Where is Donatello?" Splinter asked when my brothers and I took a knee before him. "He knows he cannot miss his training."

"Yeah," Mikey began to explain. "He's running tests on Alyssa's DNA or something. Did you know that she can't get sick!? That is so cool."

"Why is you brother running tests?" Splinter was genuinely curious.

"I fell in some mutagen last night." Alyssa said, looking up at my sensei. "The thing is, it didn't effect me in the slightest and Donnie is trying to figure out why that is. Is it alright that he skips today or would you like me to get him, Splinter?"

Splinter stroked his beard. "It is not easy to tear Donatello from his work. Let him be and the rest of you will continue training. Maybe, Alyssa, you could fill in for him. Just for today."

"Sounds like a great idea!" I said, smiling. "But I think she should have an easy opponent, like Mikey."

"Hey!" Mikey pouted, then flicked my shoulder. "I'm right here, you know!"

"Don't worry, Mikey." Alyssa winked at him. "I'll go easy on you."

"Burn." Raph said and smiled at Alyssa.

We started training with Raph and I going hand-to-hand. I ran at Raph and went to make a jab at his shoulder, but he easily deflected it and pushed me away. I regained my balance and chose a different approach. I ran at him again and jumped, sticking my foot in the air, so I could kick him in the face. He just smirked at me and grabbed my ankle in midair. He twisted my leg around and threw me to the ground. He put his knee on my shell, to keep my immobile and it worked.

"I think he's done, Raph." Alyssa said. "I don't want you to break my sensei." Raph snickered and got off of me. He helped me back up and motioned me to sit down, which I reluctantly did. "Glad you're not hurt." Alyssa said to me as I sat.

"Gee, thanks." I mumbled. She nudged my arm and I couldn't help but smile. We watched Mikey and Raph fight, but I wasn't really paying attention. I was really focusing on Alyssa, who was acting strange. She kept on spacing out and making noises like she was having a conversation with someone. To be honest, it freaked me out just a little.

"Are you okay, Alyssa?" I finally asked. "Alyssa?"

She snapped back to life and smiled. "I'm fine, Leo. Just thinking really hard. That's all."

"Thinking about what, exactly?" She looked down, not answering my question. I let it go. She clearly did not want to talk about it. Raph sat down right next to her. They were so close, their shoulders were rubbing against each other. Weird?

"Hey, Alyssa." Mikey beckoned. "You fighting me, or did you get scared?"

Alyssa smirked. "You wish, Mikey." She glanced at Raph, who was smiling at her, then she got up and walked towards Mikey. "Alright, let's make this quick. I have a lot of training today." Mikey chuckled at her.

Mikey took a step towards her and she lunged at him before he could even gasp. She swiped her leg under his and he came crashing down. She leaped onto him and... tickled him?

"BOOYAH-KASHA!" Alyssa screamed as she tickled him furiously. "Payback!"

"Get... off!" Mikey managed to say. "Gah! Quit it!" She laughed at him and I had to be the one to pull them apart... again. Mikey was panting and Alyssa was laughing in my arms. "Thanks... Leo..." He was breathless.

"That was classic!" Alyssa breathed. I rolled my eyes and set her down next to Raph. She was laughing into his shoulder and he was smiling.

"Alright, everyone." Splinter chuckled. "Alyssa is right, she does have a lot of training to get done, so we will leave them to it. Come, Michelangelo." Splinter basically picked him up from the ground and carried him from the dojo.

"So," I said, standing up. "Raph, are you still helping me teach Alyssa today?" I smirked as Raph stood up next to me.

"Hell yeah." Raph said as we towered over Alyssa who rolled her eyes. "We're teaching her about distractions, right, Leo?" I nodded and Alyssa shook her head.

"Gah, will you give me two minutes to stretch?" Alyssa stood up and walked to the other side of the dojo.

"Heh," Raph chuckled. "This'll be fun.'

Alyssa P.o.V.

I was having a 'talk' with Angel while the boys were training. Angel was pissed that I kissed Raph without telling him that I 'kissed' Leo.

'You need to tell Raph.' Angel told me. 'If you care about Raph, you need to tell him that you kissed Leo! What kind of girlfriend keeps secrets from her boyfriend!?'

'First of all,' I recanted. 'What Raph doesn't know, won't hurt him. Secondly, I didn't kiss Leo, it was an exchange of our friendship and meant nothing. Thirdly, Raph is so not my boyfriend... yet.'

'Even though you can't see it, I'm rolling my eyes. Since I am a part of you, after all, you can't say that you've never thought about telling Raph about it. Will you at least think about it?'

'It's not like I can't think about it... Gah! Okay, I promise, I'll think about telling Raph about my not-kiss with Leo. Now, stop pestering me, I'm training...'

She stopped, then and I went on with training. Splinter and Mikey left the dojo after I tickled the shit out of Mikey, which left me, my sensei, and Raph, my 'boyfriend'.

I was stretching in the corner, thinking about my conversation with Angel, when my thoughts were interrupted by green hands on my waist. I gasped as I was being hoisted over Raph's shoulders and transferred into the center of the dojo.

"Oof!" I grunted as I was set down. "Thanks for that. I really appreciate it." My tone was soaked with sarcasm.

"Don't admit you didn't like it." Raph teased. Leo threw him a glance and he stood up straight. I took a knee before Leo.

"Alright," Leo said with his arms folded across his chest. "Today's lesson is about focusing passed distractions. Raphael is going to assist me in teaching you this lesson." They both cracked a smile and I rolled my eyes. "We will start with reviewing on deflecting attacks first, though. Just to be sure you have the hang of it."

"I'm bursting with excitement." I mumbled. I stood up and made a stance. Raph smirked and attacked. I blocked his punches, which felt hesitant, and I blocked Leo's kicks at the same time. Leo and Raph exchanged glances after a few minutes and Raph full on tackled me. "Gah! UNFAIR!" I said when Raph pinned me to the ground.

"Now I'm the one who uses their charm." Raph winked at me and I felt my face get hot. I glanced at Leo who was doing nothing to help me or Raph. I was somewhat grateful for that. "It seems like my charm is working already." Raph smiled and leaned into me and I gulped.

"R-Raph..." I said, feeling my heartbeat quicken. "Let's not do anything we'll regret." He chuckled and leaned in closer. 'I'll make this bite you in the butt...' I thought. I smiled and picked up my head closer to him, so that our foreheads were touching. "Now... Do you want to get off of me?" I asked him. Raph glanced at Leo who shook his head, then he returned his attention to me.

"Nope." He smiled. "Not at all." He put his hand on my side. Damn, he's good at this. "You're distracted right now. This moment leaves the perfect opportunity for Leo to hurt you. What should you do to snap yourself out of it?" He whispered into my ear and it sent shivers down my spine.

"Is... this a trick question?" I asked. "Um, okay..." I kept getting flustered by Raph's movements, but he was clearly enjoying himself. "I should... I should get rid of the distraction." I answered. Raph nodded.

"And how do you do that?" Leo chimed in. It was so weird, having him watch as Raph basically groped me. "How can you get rid of whatever it is that's keeping you from your goal?"

I thought really hard about this, trying to ignore Raph's breath on my neck. "Um... I distract the distraction? Talk about irony." Leo smiled and nodded. I got to work. I slipped my hand away and placed it on the back of Raph's neck. I pulled him into me, to where our lips were an inch apart. His eyes were wide and I took my shot. I pulled his body to the left and we rolled on the ground until Raph was on his shell and I was on top of him.

"Very good." Leo said. "Next time, though, you need to act fast. You never know what could happen on the battlefield." I laughed.

"I doubt I'll be seduced in the middle of a fight, Leo." I said to him. "I get your point, though. Thanks for the lesson." I looked at Raph who had his hands behind his head. "And thank you for helping Leo." I snuggled into his chest for a moment, but then got off of him and helped him up. "Don't think you can do that twice in one day, though. Save it for a... an emergency." I poked Raph and turned to Leo. "What next?"

"I think you've had enough for one day." Leo said as he walked to the door. "Maybe just meditate for a bit. You didn't do that yet today." He walked out of the dojo and I called after him.

"Okay, Leo!" I sighed and sat down. Raph sat directly in front of me. Our knees were touching. "Yes?" I asked him and he smiled at me.

"You said we'd talk about it." Raph looked deep into my eyes. "When do you plan on doing that?"

I sighed again. "Now is as good a time as ever, I suppose." I ran my fingers through my hair and took in a deep breath. Then smiled. "Was it good for you?"

Raph flushed. "Yeah, it was." He chuckled. "How about you?" He nervously asked.

"It was great." I smiled at him. His eyes sparkled and I smiled even bigger. "So... Where do we stand? Are we still friends? Are we more than that? Gah, this is what I hate because it's so confusing and-" I stopped talking when a pair of lips came onto mine. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the kiss.

Raph pulled away and I opened my eyes. "You talk too much." He whispered and I flushed. "I want to be more than friends, but if you don't, that's okay. We can stay friends and I won't try anything unless you want-" This time, I pressed my lips onto his. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me closer to him. I was on top of him and we kept kissing until I remembered why we started to in the first place.

I pulled away from him. "Yes. I want to be with you, Raph." I smiled at him and gave him one last kiss before getting off of him. We stood up and walked to the doors of the dojo, holding hands. I stopped. "So, uh, what about your brothers? How exactly do we tell them?" Raph smiled and gently kissed my cheek.

"They'll know." He said and led me out of the dojo.

Raph's P.o.V.

I walked out of the dojo with my girlfriend, man that won't get old, and we saw April holding something and talking to Leo and Mikey. They looked our way and noticed we were holding each others' hands. April winked at Alyssa, who nodded back at her. The guys smiled at me and held up their thumbs. I rolled my eyes at them, but smiled and slightly nodded.

"Finally!" Mikey shouted when we approached them. "It was bound to happen. What'd I tell you?" Alyssa shook her head and walked over to April who hugged her tight.

"Ow." Alyssa said. "Jeez, April. I'm guessing you were the kind of kid who shook their goldfish in a bag until it stopped swimming."

April laughed. "Sorry! I'm just happy for you! Oh, I brought you something too." April handed Alyssa a piece of clothing. A black hoodie with a skull on the back. It was seriously bad ass.

"Whoa." Alyssa said, taking a hold of the jacket. "I am not worthy. Seriously, this is too awesome for me."

April shook her head. "That's crazy. Just put it on. I want to see what it looks like on you." Alyssa obeyed and slipped her arms through the sleeves. It was a size or two too big, but other than that it looked perfect. "Okay... Now strut."

Alyssa rolled her eyes, but did a twirl. "How do I look? Awesome? Incredible?"

"Beautiful." I said. My brothers laughed at me, but slapped my shell. April and Alyssa giggled. "Uh, so, where's Donnie, anyways?" I asked to cover up my stupidity. Everyone fell silent. "He didn't die, did he?"

"No," April said. "He's just really into his work right now. He didn't even say hi to me when I walked in."

"Oh," Alyssa said. "You can blame me for that one, April. Donnie is examining my DNA and I guess it's... entertaining him? Sorry." She put her hand on the back of her neck. We were silent until a stomach growled.

April turned her head to Alyssa. "Someone's hungry." She said.

"Heh, awkward?" Alyssa nervously chuckled. "Don't worry about me, I'm not that hungry. I-" Her tummy interrupted her. "Gah!" She pointed at her stomach. "Will you shut up for two seconds!?"

I laughed at her. "Let's get a pizza or two." Everyone nodded and I made the call.

Half an hour later, we were all sitting in the kitchen, munching on pizza, when Donnie walked in with a starstruck look on his face.

"What happened?" April asked. "You look... Excited?"

"You have no idea." Donnie said, sitting next to her.

Donnie's P.o.V.

I was looking at Alyssa's DNA and running diagnostics, when I came across something really interesting.

"It turns out," I said to my family. "We aren't the only mutants."

"What are you talking about, Donnie?" Mikey asked me. "What do you mean we're not the only mutants?"

"Alyssa," I began. "Have you ever been sick before?"

"Um, not that I remember." She replied. "Why?"

"Okay, well, everyone has slight mutations in their DNA to make them unique. So technically, we're all mutants. There are certain mutations that prevent certain infections from entering the bloodstream. Alyssa, you have the very rare genetic mutation of having immunity to every infection; even ones that don't exist yet. Bottom line; you can't get sick at all."

"Whoa." Leo said. "That's spooky. It's a good thing, though, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah. It's a really good thing. She has perfect health all the time, there's nothing wrong with that at all. Her DNA is pretty much protecting itself from any further mutation." I glanced at Alyssa, who was holding Raph's hand. "You okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled at me. "It's a good thing, remember?" She chuckled and continued munching her pizza. Raph draped his arm around her and she snuggled into him. "So, are you boys patrolling tonight?"

We glanced at Leo, who nodded. "Yeah, but seeing as you're the Kraang's new target, you will stay here, where you're safe."

Alyssa groaned. "Fine. Gah! You ruin all the fun, Leo. April, will you stay with me so I'm not bored out of my skull?" April laughed and nodded. "There. Problem solved." Alyssa giggled.

"It won't be as fun without you, but if the boss says no..." Mikey shrugged.

"Boss?" Leo asked with a smile. "That has a nice ring to it." We all laughed. "Alright, alright. We should leave in a few hours. It's still pretty light out."

"In the meantime." Alyssa said. "What do we do? Chill? Hang? Be weirdos?"

"How about all of the above?" Mikey joked. Alyssa stood up and took her plate to the sink.

"Is everyone done?" She asked. They nodded except for me and she collected everyone's plate, but mine. "Let us be weird!" She dashed into the living, with everyone following her.

Mikey's P.o.V.

I knew Alyssa and Raph would get together eventually. I was so in the 'I-told-you-so' mode when they came out of the dojo holding hands. I will give them hell later, but right now, they both seem so happy, even I don't want to bother them.

"Okay, so any ideas?" April said. "Anything we can do to be weirdos?" She plopped herself on the floor in front of the T.V.

"Well," I said stepping towards her. "We could play video games? I could beat any of you."

"Oh, yeah? Bring. It. On." Alyssa dared. "And I swear, if you try to tickle me, I will hurt you and no one will hold me back."

"Pfft. Yeah, okay." I said. We grabbed the controllers and played Mortal Combat for a while, but I was pissed and stopped playing because Alyssa kept beating me. "You're cheating. I don't know how, but you're cheating."

She stood up and made puppy-dog eyes. "Me? Cheat? I would never. Maybe you're just not as good as you think you are." She walked to a beanbag chair and sat down.

"Pfft." I pointed a finger at her. "You're a cheater. I will prove it."

"Good luck with that." She muttered. I rolled my eyes at her and walked over to Raph.

"Your girlfriend is crazy." I told him.

"I know." He smiled and looked at her. She was talking to April and fidgeting with her jacket sleeves. "I'm into that, I guess." I lightly punched his arm and we chuckled.

"Hey, guys!" April said suddenly. "Alyssa-"

"Shut up, woman!" Alyssa pounced on April. "Be quiet! Gah! Why do I tell you anything!?" Alyssa kept her hand on April's mouth, even though she struggled. "Um, ignore that. Please continue with your normal lives."

"Alyssa loves-" April managed to say before Alyssa covered her mouth again.

"Hush, child." Alyssa said. "Hush... or I will hurt you."

"Fine. Get off." April said. Alyssa stood up and helped her to her feet. "I wasn't going to say it..."

"BULLSHIT!" Alyssa cried and pointed a finger at April. April shrugged and Alyssa face-palmed. "Wow... I'm done..." She sat on the chair again, rubbing her temples.

"What do you love?" Leo asked teasingly. "Anyone we know?"

"Pfft. What?" Alyssa's voice cracked. "I, uh... Gah! Thanks April!" She buried her face in her hands. "Let's move on?"

"Aw. Come on, dude." April sat next to her and put her arms around her shoulders. "Let it out."

"Well, I love a lot of things?" Alyssa said. "And uh, hey. Shouldn't you guys be out patrolling by now?"

I decided to be the one to save her, since none of my brothers would. "Yeah, we should go. It's dark enough now, Leo." He glared at me, sighed, then nodded. "Alright then, let's go!" Alyssa shot me a grateful look and I nodded at her.

"Be safe, Raph." Alyssa kissed my brother and when he left I slapped him on the back. "You're going to be the death of me, April." We heard on our way out. We chuckled and headed up to the street.

Mikey- What did I tell you!? We all knew it would happen!

Raph- *Shrugs* Hey, I never denied it. So who's doing the disclaimer?

Leo- You should, you've earned it, bro.

Donnie- Yeah, seriously. Congrats.

Raph- Thanks. Jazz doesn't own anything from TMNT.

Jazz- Nicely done, Raph. Enjoy the story, to all who enjoy it!
