Hello everyone, I was very intrigued to see how many of you tried guess who the new girl is. Well, let's see what happens next.

(Donnie's POV)

I have the right data. I have the right materials for the apparatus, but I just need to finalize everything for the experimental set up.

I can't believe I actually got the numbers calibrated correctly. Sure it took almost 3 days of being an insomniac, but I got it!

I also went into more detail of my materials, mainly the mutagen. The more I studied it, the more I realized that it really wasn't that much beyond my comprehension. It may be from another dimension, but it's still made of chemical bonds like everything else.

I just need to figure out now how to manipulate those bonds into doing what I want them to do.

Once I get that figured out, I have the solution to Leo's proposed hypothesis. Sometimes I think I might be crazy for doing this, but I have my reasons for wanting to do this.

I'm determined to figure this out.

(Leo's POV)

We just got out of training and I was watching a rerun of Space Heroes.

"Mikey give it back!" Raph yells. "C'mon Raph, I'm just borrowing it." Mikey complains. "Mikey, they're my comics and how many freaking times do I need to tell you to keep your hands off my stuff!" Raph shouts back.

I put my face in my hands and rub my temples. It's like this every day.

I turn the TV off and go to my room to distance myself from the noise. My mind was chaotic enough already. The last thing I need is for my brothers to have stupid arguments about nothing.

Not when…. Ugh, why does everything stressful and complicated always happen to me?

Before all this, I liked the stress. It provided me with a healthy challenge as a leader, but then Karai showed up… Why did I have to get pulled in by her mystery?

She was an envoy of the enemy, yet I fell for her.

I still have strong feelings for her, much to my shame. How can I still have them? She was trouble to begin with. I collapsed on my bed, face down. What's happened to me? Why can't I just stop liking her? Oh, that's right. I can't, because my feelings toward Karai go way beyond some crush.

I cared about her, a lot. I still do.

Even now, even though she wants me dead, I think about where she is, what she's doing?

The day she walked into my life, unknowingly, she planted a seed in my head that just keeps growing and draining me. But, I played the dangerous game. I fell for and locked lips with the enemy, multiple times, and now I'm stuck with aftermath.

Why did this have to happen to me?

(1 week later)

We were out on patrol again. It was yet another slow night.

We broke off into groups, I was with Raph taking the east and Donnie and Mikey went west. The street was vacant.

Raph and I were about to turn back when we heard muffled talking in the alley next to us.

(Raph's POV)

C'mon, let this be something. I want to bash in some heads tonight.

We get closer to this alley. "Get away from me you dirty creeps." We heard. "Look sweetheart, just hand over the backpack and no one gets hurt." We look in the alley and we saw Purple Dragons and… no.

That can't be. It was her. The chick I saw a little over a week ago.

She was glaring at them behind her glasses. One was getting closer to her. "Come on. I don't want to hurt a pretty, little young thing like you. So, just hand it over." He demands and reaches out for her and grabs her.

I was so close to jumping down to beat his face in when she says through her teeth, "Don't touch me." Then she punched him on the right side of his skull and then arm dragged him to the ground.

Whoa…. cute, edgy, likes comics, and she knows how to fight?! Where has this girl been all my life?

Then she spoke again. "Anyone else?" She challenges, clearly not wanting to be messed with.

The other two guys looked at her and slowly backed up. "This chick's crazy." One of them says freaked out. "Let's get out of here." The other says and they sprint off.

Cowards.

Once they ran off, she pushed the guy she was holding onto the ground and then kicked him in the side before walking out and leaving him there groaning.

I still couldn't believe what I saw. She is literally the coolest girl I've ever seen, or met? Whatever. Point is, she is totally cool. I mean come on, a girl that knows how to look after herself…. if I were a wolf, I'd so be howling big time right now.

"Well, that was… something." Leo says. "Something's one word for it." I say, not wanting her to get out of my sight.

"I think we should follow her." I say. I look at Leo and see him grinning at me. "Not like that. I just uh… think we should make sure she gets home okay. Got it!" I say, knowing that I sound defensive.

"Alright, whatever soothes your nerves Raph." He says with that stupid grin and winks at me. I clenched my fists before huffing and leading the way. We try to keep watch over her as she was walking.

She only walked for another block when she got to this pretty nice apartment complex and walked inside.

"She seems to be in the clear. Let's go Raph." Leo says. "Nah you go. I'm just gonna hang out for a while." I say, having an idea going through my head. Leo smirked at me and looked like he was going to say something.

"Shut up Leo." I say, beating him to it. I'm not in the mood to be teased over this now. And Leo better shut it if he knows what's good for him.

Leo just smiles and puts up his hands before saying, "Okay, that's totally fine Raph. See you later, Romeo." He says before laughing and I throw a spare shuriken in his direction.

I was fed up. Leo dodged it and just said, "Okay, fine. Sorry Raph, just cool down. I'll go, okay?" Then he finally left.

Great, I thought he'd never leave.

I couldn't stop myself. I had to see if I could find her. I scanned the outside of the building. It took a little while, but I found her.

It looked like her bedroom. She was sitting on her bed, typing on her laptop. It was weird how normal she was acting. Usually people get shaken up when they have run ins like she did. But she looked totally fine.

She also changed. She was in a pair of sweatpants and a light blue tank top. Then she took off her glasses. My eyes went wide and I felt my throat go dry.

I don't get what's going on with me?

I mean, she's cute and… ugh, who am kidding? Sure she has a very small, slightly nerdy vibe to her. But she's hot. I mean, a girl who's a little sassy and knows how to fight? I am not letting this girl slip out of my focus.

I still have no idea who she really is. I don't know her name or anything. All I know is that she's a college student. But, I want to know more about her. I need to know more about her.

But I can't just knock on her window and just strike up a conversation.

After I saw what she could do, she might have the ability to take me down. I'd probably let her take me down. I couldn't fight her back. Actually, I have this weird instinct that goes through me whenever I look at her.

All I wanted to do, was protect her. And as much as I want her not to get into a run in again. I hope she does. I want an excuse to finally talk to this girl that I can't get out of my head since I first saw her.

Man I sound like such a sap. I sound almost as bad as Donnie!

But, I just don't understand anything anymore. All I know is that I really like this chick and I really want to talk to her. Again, I sound totally pathetic. But now that I'm looking at her… I really couldn't care less right now.

There's so much I want to know about her.

But first, I just want to know her name.

Looks three fourths of the Turtles are in a bind right now of some kind. Thanks for reading and please review.
