Author's notes: ok so this is just a little filler chapter to keep you guys going and let you know I'm still alive and kicking
Violet woke confused to the loud noise of a cat crying. River hardly made a sound and would normally be gone by the time she woke up. Her head ached in protest as she sat up as peered at a cat who was currently sat under the window digging her claws into Violets carpet.
"River No!" Violet gasped in horror leaping out of bed as the cat shredded her once neat carpet.
She threw the window open allowing her feline friend to escape back to whatever she did during the day. Violet sighed studying the damage left behind before she decided that it wasn't too bad and that she wouldn't have to replace it. She lost herself deep in thought. She never shut the window at night, it allowed River to come and go as she pleased and stopped her from doing her "business" in her apartment. So why the hell had the window been closed? Violet thought back to the night before trying to remember what had happened to make her change her routine. She had slept surprisingly well which was rare fir her, normally she would toss and turn all night or be plagued with nightmares. That's when she also realised that she was still only in her underwear. Violet groaned in horror as the memories came flooding back. Raphael being on the roof, him hearing her singing, almost falling over the edge and not even batting an eyelid, Raph carrying her on his shoulder, stripping in front of him, his fingers on her back. Her breath hitched and she shuddered just thinking about it. Shaking her head trying to clear it of the dark thoughts that threatened to take over again. She didn't hold it against Raphael, he couldn't possibly have known what he would trigger by simply touching her scars. Violet ran her hands through her hair in embarrassment before noting the glass of water on her side table. Did Raph put that there? She walked towards it and saw a folded piece of paper also resting there next to the lamp. The note had surprising tidy handwriting for a mutant turtle with massive hands and only three digits.
Wolf,
I didn't want you to have to go through the trouble of making a bat signal, thought that this might be a more discreet way of sending invites to your pent house parties if you'd have me.
Violet felt strange reading his writing without his deep Brooklyn accent. At the bottom of the paper was a phone number, she couldn't stop a grin from spreading across her face. Picking up her phone she added the number to her contacts under the name Batman with a little emoji of a bat and a turtle next to it before starting to compose a text.
Hey there tough love. Thanks for the water. Next time could u leave the window open slightly so the cat can get out? Bloody menace almost tore a hole in my carpet x
She stretched looking at the time. 6am! Had to be a night when she was actually getting some decent sleep, damn cat. She sighed taking a sip of water, feeling the cool liquid run down her throat. Violet concidered what to do next, shower, exercise or try to go back to sleep? Her phone vibrated against the wood of the side table, she hadn't expected Raphael to reply this early in the morning.
Sorry Wolf. Didn't realise. Didn't think a lot of people really like to let their pets out of their sight
Knew it was me huh? Funny thing tho... River isn't actually my cat... She quickly sent a reply and not long after her phone vibrated again.
I'm not in the habit of just giving my phone number out and I don't exactly know anyone else who calls me tough love. What do u mean river isn't ur cat? Could have fooled me, practically the only food u have in your flat is cat food. Unless u wanna tell me that ur catwoman an actually eat cat food too?
No, sorry to disappoint batman but I'm not feeling the urge to roll around in catnip, interesting theory tho. How come u went through my kitchen?
Got u some water remember? Couldn't exactly do that without a glass could I?
Shit, my bad. U know u never answered my question last night x
What question?
What were u were doing on my roof x
Well it's not like I can just take a stroll down the street is it? Gotta move around some how
WAIT! You move through the city via the rooftops!
Yeah? What did u expect?
Idk. Didn't really think about it I guess
Well don't think too hard, wouldn't want u to hurt yourself
Damn! think ima have to down the rest of this water to cool that burn, who knew you had it in you, turtles being cold blooded and all
Ice burns too, and technically im not cold blooded. My mutation allows me to adjust my body temperature to suit my needs
So in a cold environment you can still be warm and vice a versa?
Yeah, Donnie says we're endothermic, just like humans. If we weren't, we'd have trouble moving around at night. Sorry to cut this off wolf but I have training this evening and it's late. I'll speak to you later
Oh yeah sure. No problem. Gotta keep those sweet ninja skills sharp, see ya round Batman x
See ya round Selina Kyle
Violet chuckled to herself at his catwoman reference. She was disappointed that their conversation had come to an end so soon, she had enjoyed talking to him but she also knew that he and his brothers worked hard to protect what they seemed to consider 'their city'. She knew of some of the foes that they faced having met some face to face due to 'Oliver's business', formidable was an understatement. No wonder Raphael was built like a god damn wall, she also knew that distracting him could mean potential danger for him or his brothers. That didn't mean that she was any less disappointed, now what was she supposed to do with her time at 6am in the morning?
Ta daaa. What did you guys think? Please review T.T its what encourages me to keep going xx
Love ya pack see ya soon. xxx
