Sky's Pov...
Well this wasn't what I had in mind. I wasn't expecting to be having to move my life down into the sewers after having a near fatal encounter with ninjas who had me dangling from a helicopter and losing my bike in the process. But like Leo had said, its not like I was given much choice, if I had stayed up here and they found out where I lived, I would be practically screwed. Luckily I was able to get most of stuff ready to go with the help of Mikey who has been living with me these last few days. I really appreciated him helping me with this whole thing and it was a great opportunity for us to be able to spend more time together as boyfriend and girlfriend. I was able to move my fish, my rats Iggy and Lola down today along with a few other small things down to the lair while the others were clearing a space for me. With moving in only about another day away, we decided to have a night off from moving and getting everything packed we were going to do takeout and chill. While Mikey was out getting food from a place he told me about was easy to sneak into I had gotten settled into my pajamas, a dark green tank top, black baggy sweatpants, and a yellow and orange zig zag bandanna.
I had poured myself another glass of iced tea while I waited for my goofy but sweet boyfriend to return, soon as I took a sip of my tea a loud thud caused me to jump making some of the liquid from the glass splash on me. I looked up to the window to see Mikey with a plastic bag full of Chinese food looking at me with a sheepish look. I cocked him an eyebrow shaking my head with a smile seeing him blush slightly before I went around the counter to open up the window to let him. "Okay that one was unintentional", he said, with a chuckle
"Uh huh sure it was", I said, shoving him playfully with a giggle "Either you do that to tease me or you just catch me off guard is a mere coincidence"
"Maybe its both", he said, with a sly grin
I shoved him playfully with a growl as he did the same, making me go at him with a harder shove then it started a whole playful shoving match with laughs, as I tried to go at him again he grabbed me in a headlock giving my cheek and face huge kisses me shriek and laugh nearly losing my footing. "No! Quit bothering me", I said, shoving him with a smile "Come on let's get your five star Chinese takeout started"
He laughed as he kissed my forehead. "You only became my girlfriend because I have good taste in food", he said, bumping my hip with his
"Nah ah I became your girlfriend because you needed your other half of yourself", I said, with a giggle
He stuck his tongue out playfully as we both laughed as I poured us some glasses of Orange Crush he took out a few boxes of fried rice, ramen, dumplings, and fortune cookies. "Mmmmm that smells really good", I said "I have never even heard of that place"
"Yeah neither did I, while I was out on patrol one night with the bros just happened to be passing back on our way back home and just had to sneak in for a bite", he said
"Quite the sneak you are, well I managed to finish about more than half of the packing done, just a few more things from my room and getting the fur babies down there we should be all good to go", I said
"You are going to love moving in the lair babes, it is going to be awesome and we will totally party!", he said, with a beaming smile
"Well I certainly don't know what it is like living underground, but I am up for something new", I said, with a shrug "I mean don't get me wrong, I am happy to be with you guys I just didn't think my life was going to be threatened like this and I don't know how its going to be you know your brother and I haven't been on the best of terms"
"Well don't you worry about that Angel Cakes, and if he even tries to mess with you I will make sure he doesn't do anything to you", he said, with a reassuring smile
"Thanks honey bean", I said, with a soft smile
I didn't feel really relieved by that I knew for sure that I was going to be having some problems with Raphael for sure. The storm was just brewing for now and it wouldn't be long before it would hit. I suddenly felt my chest become heavy and I began to cough hard as I held a hand over it as my lungs begin to constrict. "Are you okay?", Mikey asked, concerned putting his hand on my back
I looked over at him as I began to heave in fast for air. "Don't worry I will get it", he said, quickly running off
I leaned over the sink trying to get air into my lungs as he went into my bedroom and came back with my air tank Donnie made for me as he held the mask over my mouth as I began to breathe in the treatment. "Just breathe, I got you", he said, softly as he rubbed my back as I took in slow breaths
The treatment began to expand my lungs more to where I could feel myself being able to breathe normally. I took in a few more breaths before he pulled the mask off my mouth. "Thanks, man those are starting to come around more often than they used to", I said, rubbing my chest with my hand
"I am really hoping its not leading to something bad", he said, looking a bit scared
"Well I don't know Mikey, I mean leukemia is bound to get worse sooner or later", I said, with a frown "Unless we find a good treatment soon, I don't know if the tank is going to keep up the good work for long"
"We will figure it out, I won't let you down", he said, looking determined
"Mikey, you know I never worry about that", I said, with a smile
He slowly begin to smile as he pulled me close by the waist and gave my forehead a deep kiss. "Thanks for believing in me", he said
"Of course", I said "Now lets get some food going, I am starving"
"Me too! And of course I got you vegan style", he said
"Perfecto!", I said, with a smile
We sat down on the couch with Mikey pulling me close to him as I turned on the TV to some random movie while I used chopsticks to eat the dumplings in the small box along with the ramen. "Mmmmmm now this good Chinese, you my boyfriend have good taste", I said, with a mouthful
"Well I am the master of food in the family", he said, proudly posing a stance
"Yes I can see that", I said, cocking him an eyebrow
We enjoyed eating our meal while watching TV and it felt nice to be able to relax for the first time in days and not have my mind racing at a million miles a minute trying to get everything done and the fact that my life was being threatened. Mikey pulled me closer towards him till I was almost practically laying on him keeping his arm over me like a blanket and I snuggled down deep finishing my dumplings, I was almost close to falling asleep since he was that comfortable till I heard my phone vibrating between myself and the couch cushion. "Awwww man, it better not be my boss telling me to cover another shift again", I said, scooting off of Mikey
"That would bite big time", Mikey said, popping a fortune cookie into his mouth
But it turns out that it wasn't work and it was actually one person I wasn't really looking forward to talking to, my mother. "Great its my mom", I said, rubbing my face groaning
He frowned. "Do you want to answer?", he asked
"Not really, I am not in the mood to deal with her nonsense", I said, shaking my head "But if I don't answer she will keep calling till I pick up"
"Probably should just answer and get it over and done with baby", he said, with a frown
I groaned leaning my head back, but I knew it would be much easier before I clicked accept and put my phone to my ear. "Hello?", I said
"Since when were you going to tell me that you were moving away?", she asked, suddenly
"How the heck did you even find out? I didn't even say anything to you", I said
"I keep tabs on where you live Skylar, don't think I don't know where my daughter is", she said
"Look, things are getting really complicated right now, and I need the help so I was offered a place to stay till things start to cool down", I said
"I don't want you moving in that place", she said
"Why? Give me one good reason", I asked, with a groan
"Because I want you to move back in with me till you can sort everything out, I am not letting you move in with strangers", she said
"Well first off, they are not strangers, its my now current boyfriend and his family and secondly I am not moving back in with you, that is never in hell going to happen", I said, shaking my head
Mikey looked at me concerned till he muted the TV and he pointed towards my phone mouthing the word 'speaker'. I pulled my phone from my ear as I hit the speaker button till we both could now hear my mother. "This is what makes me mad about you Skylar, you never tell me anything and now all of sudden you got a boyfriend and you are suddenly moving in with him?", she asked, sounding pissed
"Mom he offered me a place and at least he cares about me and isn't like any guy I have never met", I said "And why bother to move back in with you when all its going to be is just fighting and screaming?"
"When are you going to let all that go Skylar? All of that is in the past and I am not letting my daughter move in with someone that I don't even know", she said
"Since when did you start to really care about me?", I asked, with scoff "After all I pretty much have been raising and taking care of myself since this whole predicament came about"
"And just what is that suppose to mean? I have never stopped caring about you!", she said
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?", I asked "Mom you have started fights, you threw things at me, and you have called me every name out of the book and you think that makes me think you care about me?! Are you serious?!"
"Just what is that these names that I have so told you?! Tell me them!", she said
"Mmmmmm bitch, little princess bitch, moocher, idiot, dumbass, you name it! I have heard these names being called at me ever since I was a little girl! You don't say those things to a little girl!", I said, almost to the point of screaming "There was always something bad happening and I couldn't take it, I would be so stressed and scared I would throw up from it!"
I looked over at Mikey and boy did he look mad. He looked pissed, like he was going to explode at any give moment. "Ever since I was diagnosed with cancer everyone's demeanor had changed and it physically, mentally and emotionally ripped me apart!", I said, with a few tears forming in my eyes "You have no idea how it was for me when growing up with you!"
"Not everyone had changed Skylar you are putting words into my mouth! People were there for you and you need to get your head out of your ass and see what has been done for you!", she said
Mikey suddenly took my phone from my hand and I tried to reach for it back but he held his hand up to stop. I got a look of fear about what was about to go down and Mikey looked down at my phone. "I don't think you have the right to talk to your daughter like that lady", he said
"And who the hell is this?!", she asked
"I would be the boyfriend and I have basically have been hearing everything that you have been saying to her at this moment and I really don't like what I am hearing, not at all", Mikey said
"She is not moving in with you and I am not letting her go off where I don't know where she is!", she said
"Well I hate to break it to you, but Skylar is a grown woman and she doesn't have to listen to you anymore and I am not going to let her relive probably one of the worst childhoods that any kid could ever go through", he said "She will be safe and loved on where she is going"
"She will not be and who do you think you are on telling me that my daughter had a worst childhood?!", she asked, screaming
"Don't act like you don't know what you did to her, she has told me everything and I can't even begin to say how I wished I had found her much sooner and gave her what she always wanted!", he said "No wonder she left home when she was so young! You were suppose to take care of her and love her and be there for her!"
"I am going to say this for the last time, I have cared about her and she is making me do things that I don't want to have to do", she said
"Yeah like what?", he asked, in a low tone
"You think that I am going to be saying anything to you? I might as well be on my way over and tell you both", she said "She needs to know where she came from"
"She came from a whacked out family that's where she came from", he said, looking stern
"She came from love!", she said
"Yeah love that apparently was not love at all to her and certainly not the kind of love that she should of had growing up with you", he said
"Oh no mister, it is as real as it gets", Mom said "She had love coming out her pores"
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again. "Well if you loved her so much, then why did you and her father turn your backs on her and just walked away?", he asked
"Because everyone made stupid ass decisions that's why!", she said
"See then your love wasn't what you so claim to be, if it was what you said you would stayed to be there for her but you didn't", he said
I didn't know what was crazier the fact that my mother was saying shit out of her mouth or Mikey actually standing up to her like that getting a strong point across. "Well you know what a lot of people in this family have made a lot of mistakes, everyone", she said
"So what Skylar is to blame for everything then?", he asked "She can't help getting this cancer that she unfortunately got and I can't believe you have even the nerve or even the thought of taking your anger and blame out on a little girl who needed her mother there for her when she needed you! And yet you, her father and others had their heads probably so far up in their assess that they don't see her frightened and terrified about what is going through her body and wondering if she is going to live or die, that's beyond pathetic!"
"You wouldn't know what this situation was like even if you were there! You don't have a child with her that has a disease! You don't know the kinds of tolls and stresses that it can take!", she said
"Well I may not know what its like but I sure can hell tell you, I would of never left her to raise herself on her own while no one was there when there was constant fighting", he said "You have scarred her for life, no wonder when she told me she left home because it was too much for her, I can't even imagine what life was like for her before I met her"
"It was not always like this and there are somethings she does need to get over, we had our moments and I had tried to make things right, its not good for her to carry this around, she has been depressed for years and everything would always lead to a fight!", she said
"Well I don't think she can get over things that easy when I heard you threw a picture frame at her causing scars along her neck and shoulder, being yelled and screamed at all the time and having no one there for her", he said "I have heard the stories and don't try to make up excuses, I can tell you this right now she is probably happier now than what she has been in a long time and I tend to keep her going on that path"
"She could of done that when she was still at home with me but yet she didn't do anything to make herself happy and instead just mopped around all day", she said
"Well with having a sad and rough home life why would she have a reason to be? No one understood her, was there for her, or even supported her, she had nothing! But she has made something of herself, she has a career in creating tattoos, she saved me from a threat, she saves animals from terrible situations and is making such a huge effort so what are you talking about?"
"And by the way I have been hounding her little tush for years to get involved in something else other than art and having her ow moving up in the tattoo business, its not going to get her far in life!", she said
"Well to her its a dream, and I support her all the way through unlike you", he said
"You want to be a smart ass with mister? You really want to go down that route?", she asked
"You have treated me that way so might as well give it to you back", he said
"Oh I don't think so, don't tell me what she thinks or her feelings, you don't know her like I do", she said
"Well I can tell you what I have said so far is probably absolutely right in her own words", Mikey said, looking towards me
I could feel my eyes were getting heavy with tears and he took my hand into his tightly, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I just only hope she never has to see you again, you are way too toxic for her", he said "And I don't think she needs more bad shit in her life right now"
"Don't you ever say that I am toxic for my own daughter, you have nothing to do with this", she said
"Oh I do, I am in this whole situation now whether you like it or not", he said "I am not telling you lies"
"Oh you are telling me plenty", she said
"That's what you think", he said
"Don't you paint over what our lives have been, you don't know the whole truth", she said
"I already know the whole truth since I trust your daughter and I will never stop loving her and make up for what has been missing for years", he said "I am never giving up on her and you take whatever you have going on your head right now, and shove it"
I gasped softly covering my mouth as he hung up my phone and threw it over on my bean bag. He sighed softly as I was left spellbound, I wasn't expecting that from him at all. I have never been able to win an argument with my mother ever not since I was a young girl and seeing how Mikey turn her words against her made me speechless. Everything he spoke from his mouth was absolutely true. "You did that for me? Why?", I asked, softly
"You don't need that from her or anyone anymore, you been through enough", he said, shaking his head squeezing my hand tighter
I felt like everything come rushing at me like a tsunami and as if Mikey knew right away he pulled me straight into his arms as I clung on to him burying my face in his shoulder, letting tears go rolling down my cheeks. "You didn't have to do that for me", I said, with a shaky voice
"I wasn't going to let you put up with that, you should of never have had to", Mikey said, pushing his head against mine, letting his hand rub my back in soothing circles
"Its just, that's what it was like Mikey", I said, sitting up to face him, rubbing some tears away from my cheeks "It was like that all the time growing up as a kid and it was awful. I remember each one that we had and some of them have gone to blows, and I was so scared that I would be afraid to come out of my room after it ended"
"And that's why you don't tolerate people being mean to anyone?", he asked "Like how you defended me against Raph?"
"No, its just awful and no one should treat anyone like that and I would never treat anyone the same way my family did, not even to my own kids ever", I said, sniffling
"Don't you worry you never have to see or hear from her again, I promise you that", he said, bringing our entangled hands to his mouth before giving mine a gentle kiss
"I am sorry you had to hear all that", I said, softly "You don't need that shit neither"
"I don't care, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't allow any more bad things happen to you and I would help you get back what you had lost long ago", he said
"That's very sweet of you babes, but you realize you can't avoid bad things forever", I said, with a small smile
"I'll take the hit for you", he said
My smile grew bigger as he let his hand rest against my cheek and I pressed it close before giving his palm a kiss. "You have no idea how much this means to me Mikey, you really are a good person", I said "Thanks for always being there for me"
"Anything for you", he said, with a smile
I smiled more as he let the back of his knuckles brush against my cheek before they trailed down towards my bandanna tails hanging down from my shoulder, looking at it curiously before looking back up at me. "What?", I asked
"Well it's just I have never seen you without a bandanna before", he said
I blushed a bit in my cheeks. "I don't like to show off my head", I said "It makes me look weird"
"It can't be that bad baby girl", he said, as he let the tails twirl around his fingers
"Believe me I look like a goof, I never go anywhere without one or a beanie", I said, with a shrug "People gave me weird looks, haven't done it since"
"Hey you know I am not exactly perfect neither", he said, looking down at himself with a small frown
"You are to me though", I said, bringing his face up to mine
He slowly began to smile again and I reached for the knot that was behind my head. "Okay fine, I'll let you see me without it, you promise you won't give me a weird look?", I said
"I cross my heart and whack my head with a nunchuck", he said, crossing his heart
"Okay that would definitely leave a bruise", I said, with a giggle "But I will hold you to that"
I sighed softly to myself. I never have once exposed my head not since losing my hair to leukemia, not to anyone, not to family, strangers, doctors, heck I try to not even expose it to myself it looked weird to me. I was going to be showing one of my biggest insecurities off to him and I was nervous on how he was going to react. I let my fingers slowly untie the knot feeling it become loose till I pulled off the bandanna letting it fall in my hand as I looked slowly towards Mikey. He gave me an unexpected look, not a weird one but a look of awe. "Woah...", he said
"Is it that bad?", I asked, about to tie my bandanna around my head
He grabbed my wrist and took the fabric out of my hand before tossing it away. "Its not even close to being bad, are you kidding me?", he said "You look even more beautiful than before"
I looked at him surprised. "You really think so?", I asked, rubbing the back of my head "I mean I lost all my hair when I was just a little girl"
"So what?", he said "This is who you are and you should show it off, regardless of what others think of you"
"So you think I should show it off more?", I asked
"Why not?", he asked with a shrug "It doesn't matter if you don't have you hair or not, you look beautiful just the way you are"
I felt my heart tingle with happiness. That was probably one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said to me in a long time and the fact that it was from my own boyfriend and the one who loves me regardless of having a deadly illness inside of me, made it that much special. "I don't know what to say", I said "I hardly ever gotten anything like that what you just said to me"
"Well it certainly won't be the last, plenty more in the tank where that came from", he said, with a smile
I immediately threw myself around him hugging him the tightest I could do until I felt his strong warm arms encase around me hugging me back tightly as well. "What did I do to deserve a boyfriend like you?", I asked
"Nothing, you got me pretty easy", he said
I pulled back before letting my lips smash into his and he returned the kiss quickly as our lips danced happily connecting and reconnecting over and over again. His tasted warm and tasty, like the best pizza you could bite into that made you want more. My hands cupped at the back of his head pulling him closer to me as his one hand pressed at the back of my bald head trying to press his lips harder into mine. I could almost feel like they were morphing into one where there would be no release, but I didn't care. Our lips continued their dance and I could feel Mikey's other hand slowly travel up and down my back and side, making me release soft moans from his soothing touch. Like it was exploring every detail of my body. How it felt like heaven from the warmth and softness it had to offer. I had now completely stopped thinking about what had just happened before and I was happy that I did, having Mikey here felt like a sense of relief and escape from what hell that has been my life and I just had to show him how grateful I was for him.
I pulled my lips away from his and I moved them down towards his jawline kissing along the strong bone as he sighed softly. I scooted closer till my legs were pinning his waist as I slowly moved down towards his neck kissing along his throat before moving to the crook. He gasped softly as I got one particular spot on the left side, I thought to myself I found a weak spot. I continued to give that spot affection with kisses and soft licks as my hands gently stroked his shoulders till they went down towards his sides where his skin had connected with his shell, making his breathing hitch. "Toots, man you feel so good", he said, with a huge smile of content
"Glad I could make you feel that way", I said, with a giggle
He suddenly grabbed my hands pulling them back up behind his shoulders bringing my lips towards his again as they reconnected. The pace started to pick up in pace and intimacy as I could feel my lips become more swollen from the intensity and I held on to him tightly as my tongue slipped into his mouth and his brought mine inside quickly stroking and hugging it. The heat from this moment made my skin become warm and my heart pound hard. Mikey's arms tightly hugged around me again, one around my head and one just barely above my butt. I smiled as I took a hold of his hand and moved it over my butt and making him squeeze it. He churred deeply as he gave it another hard one causing me to moan and damn did that feel good. I could feel my chest constrict and my lungs tighten from the lack of air that was not there from making out, but I didn't want to pull away not yet.
Going strong for another minute with lips pressed hard against one another's, exploring each other's bodies with our hands and deep moans, we were forced away from each other harshly to regain breathing. "Damn", I said, gasping for breath
"Each one gets better every time", he said "You got me good there"
"Hey I am quick learner", I said, with a giggle
"Damn that booty of yours is soft", he said
I blushed and giggled giving his shoulder a playful slap as he pulled me in for a quick peck. "Oh shush", I said
"Feel better?", he asked
"Much better thank you", I said
"You know I have a good idea to make this night a whole lot better", he said
"What did you have in mind?", I asked, cocking him an eyebrow
"Let me take you up to one of my fav spots in the city?", he asked "Trust me its got a great view and everything!"
I thought about it for a moment and a smile came to my face. "Sure why not", I said "I think it will do us some good to get out of the house for a little while"
"Yeah we have been having a rough week anyways, totally worth it", he said, as I climbed off of him
"Definitely", I said "Hang on give me two shakes"
I ran into my bedroom and threw on a orange tank top slipping on a green jacket and slipping on black yoga pants and white flip flops. I didn't even bother to put a bandanna on, after receiving Mikey's confidence I decided that maybe its time I did show off what I have instead of hiding it. I met him back in the living room as he opened up the window climbing out as I followed out close behind him. "Here climb on", he said, nodding his head towards his shell
I grabbed a hold of the straps that were held against him as I got myself up higher on him. He grabbed a hold of my thighs keeping them secured against his sides as he looked back behind me. "Better hang on tight spider monkey", he said, with a smirk
"Wait why-?", I said
But before I could even answer he was jumping from my fire escape up to the rooftop across and above from my building making me shriek as he took off in lightning speed across the rooftop. "Woah!", I said, hanging on tight for dear life
We were getting higher and higher up from the ground as he jumped and flipped across each rooftop, making me yelp in fright. I nearly screamed as he did a long jump doing a somersault across a wide alley as he landed back on his feet to continue to run. "Mikey! You know you have your girlfriend on your shell here!", I said, sounding shocked and annoyed
"I know! Fun isn't it?!", he said
He took out one of his nunchucks as he spun it around some before hooking it on to cable wires grabbing the other end with his other hand, making me sink a bit on his shell as we went zip lining across a few buildings. "Woah!", I said, sounding excited "Faster! Faster! Yay!"
I laughed as we flying up in the air as he grabbed on to a pole swinging us around in a circle making me shriek and laugh, making us go flying in the air. "Wahoo!", I said, raising my arms up in the air
I suddenly felt myself almost falling off before I quickly attached myself back on to his shell with a nervous laugh. "Well that was fun!", I said
"Told ya!", he said, looking back at me "We are almost there! Hang tight babe!"
"Don't worry don't plan on letting go anytime soon!", I said
He continued to run till we reached up to a higher height as he skidded to a halt catching his breath while I jumped off his shell. "Damn! That was epic! That was about as exciting when I rode on only just my back wheel on my motorcycle for a whole city block", I said "Man you were even faster than on the sea side"
"Like a turtle do!", he said, with a grin "Trust me when you get further into your training you will be able to do all kinds of crazy moves and tricks on these rooftops!"
"Now that I will be looking forward to", I said, with a smile "So where are we exactly?"
"Take a look", he said, walking towards the edge of the rooftop
I followed beside him and I gasped softly at the sight that was beneath me. Lit up buildings with glass colored windows from the starry night sky and different kinds of lit up signs showing off broad ways and big companies in neon colors with many people walking below as they hurried to where they were going. It looked like you were looking at a work of art that was brought to life. "Wow! Times Square! I have never been here before", I said "It looks so much more alive than in the photos"
"One of my favorite spots to go to at night", he said, sitting down on the edge "In the heart of the city"
"It does look like the heart of the city, it feels so alive", I said "Man I should of came here long ago"
"First time I ever did was the night after we defeated the Shredder and man was it an incredible feeling", he said "Like a complete victory"
"Wow its so beautiful up here, it looks even better from above", I said, sitting down at the edge letting my legs hang down
"It sure is, I don't know why but I just love coming up here", he said "Something about it gives a good vibe"
"Maybe you just feel like you can be yourself and be apart of it", I said
"Apart of it?", he asked, curiously
"Yeah, maybe its because its a one place where you feel safe and you can let go, you don't have to worry about anything", I said "You don't have to be guard and you can just feel free"
"That feeling would be great all the time", he said "Be able to walk free and be accepted"
"I wish people would see what I see in you guys", I said "There is so much more to you than what people don't see"
He frowned softly. "I wish that all the time Sky", he said "I have always wanted that to happen, not having to be stuck forever in the darkness you know? There would be times where we did the good thing and people would just look at us like we are freaks, scream and call us the worst things that there is"
"It should be a law where you shouldn't judge others just because they are different, we are all different for a reason, and yet we just point out only the shortcomings and don't see the whole picture", I said "If it were up to me, I would make it happen where you guys could be able to come out"
He smiled towards me slightly, bringing his arm around me. "Thanks babe, but I have a feeling that they won't be accepting anything like us anytime soon", he said, before letting his smile frown again looking back down at the streets below
"They shouldn't be allowed to treat you all like that", I said "Someone has got to put an end to it"
"Sky believe me I know", he said
I squeezed his hand into mine as he turned towards me. "It will happen one day, I just feel it", I said, with a smile "Who knows? Maybe there might be more people like me out there, there is always good ones"
"I really hope so", he said, smiling back
"It will, just wait and see", I said "You already got a few allies on your side, its only a matter of time before there is more"
He brought me closer as I laid my head against his shoulder and chest as he kissed my forehead. We both looked out towards the Time Square for the longest time and I could feel myself just becoming lost in the beauty and life it had to offer. A slight breeze came over me, making me shiver slightly, but Mikey was quick to offer me more of his warmth with his arm as I snuggled closer. As I continued to stare out into the bright lights, I let my eyes close slowly just letting myself soak in the happiness that I was experiencing with him, he is my green guardian angel and my savior. I don't understand how anyone can't see the way that I see him, he sends such happiness and good vibes that it can turn anyone's any kind of mood towards a better direction. The fact that this ninja, even though he was a turtle and a mutant, proves to me that beneath the green skin and shell that there is human inside of him and very human emotion. Which is what most people don't expect, but they would be quite surprised if they would give the chance to let him show his true nature. My wish was that one day he and his family didn't have to hide out from the rest of the world just because of appearance and they can show the world who they really are and what they do, maybe then they will be recognized as the heroes that should be praised, remembered and loved.
I could feel Mikey move his head closer till it was resting on top of mine and my eye peaked open for a minute to see he was relaxed and his hand entangled around my own more. I knew he was content and I let myself melt back into him, taking in his scent and warmth. But our quiet moment was suddenly interrupted by the sound of an explosion causing the both of us to jolt up in surprise and then down below we could see three firetrucks racing through the middle of stopped traffic heading towards the east.

"Wait! What is that in the distance?", he asked, standing up, pointing
I stood up beside him and I looked out to see a bright red and orange glow coming from the east as the firetrucks raced towards it. "It looks like a fire hit up there, man is it big!", he said
I looked closer and when I saw the familiar neon sign of a cafe that was right across from my place lit up and I looked back to where the fire was, I gasped in horror. "Oh no!", I said, letting my hands covered my mouth
"Sky what's wrong?", Mikey asked, concerned looking down at me
I looked up to him in a panic, terror racing through my eyes and heart. "Oh my god Mikey! That's my place!", I yelled
