Chapter 14
"This is Leo?" Rico asked studying him a little more closely "As in Sexy Italian Stallion Leo"
"Huh?" he asked when he heard the unfamiliar name
"Yea, this is him" she gave looked to Leo "And that name… I'll explain later"
"Wow I did not see this coming"
"Honestly, you weren't even supposed to see him"
"But we're you're best friends why wouldn't you tell us about something this crazy"
"I don't know" Sierra said "I guess I didn't know how you would take the fact that my boyfriend is a turtle"
"Okay I'll admit it, it's kinda weird" Alex stated
"Ya see"
"But…" she started and rubbed the back of her head "If he makes you happy then I'm perfectly fine with this"
"Dimitri?" Sierra asked the blonde haired male
He sighed deeply before answering "I don't mind as long as he treats you right"
"And I'm pretty sure he does, right?" Alex asked Leo
"Oh yes, absolutely, I wouldn't treat her any other way"
"Yeah you better not" Dimitri muttered before Alex elbowed him in the stomach "Ow"
"How about you Rico, you haven't said much" Sierra noticed "which is weird"
"Ha, you're so funny" Rico chuckled "FYI, I was just thinkin about how I used to be afraid to come out and tell you about myself, so I know why you'd want to keep this whole thing a secret" he paused "Cause you were afraid of being judged for what you are and not who you are"
"Wait, what?" Leo asked. How can he know how he was feeling.
"Honey, I'm not into girls" Rico told him as he sat down on the other side of him
"Oooooh… really?"
"Uh, yes" Rico said
"Dude, it's obvious" Dimitri raised an eyebrow
"And you've seen some of the dance rehearsals, you've seen how he acts" Sierra giggled "No straight guy says 'fierce' the exact same way Tyra Banks says it"
"Actually, not many straight guys say 'fierce' at all" Dimitri said
"And here I thought you were trying to take her away from me"
"Aw you thought you were gonna lose me" Sierra teased
"Don't worry babe" he placed a hand on his thigh "I'm strictly dick"
Sierra smacked his hand away "Hey, hands off"
"So now you're gonna hog him"
"Hells yeah, he's my boyfriend go get your own"
"Fine, be that way"
"I will"
"Well would you look at the time" Dimitri looked at a watch that wasn't really there "We gotta go"
"Perfect, let's go Rico" Alex grabbed onto Rico's wrist and dragged him out of the room. Sierra mouthed a thank you to her friends then turned to Leo.
"Sorry about him" Sierra apologized "He's just a big flirt"
"Um… sure, no problem"
Sierra snickered "Leo, did he make you feel uncomfortable"
"A little bit"
"Well then how about I make you feel a little more comfortable" she said in her sexy voice that she only used when Leo was around. She straddled him.
"I'd like that a lot" he said. Her lips found his in a second, but after awhile Leo pulled them apart "Wait what about your friend downstairs"
"Oh she'll be fine, she's probably sleeping and she had so much alcohol, she'll be drunk tomorrow"
"Alright then"

Later that night
"I think we had a good run tonight" Sierra stretched her arms over her head "But I think it's time for me to go home"
"Aw… come on Sierra" the youngest turtle whined "You don't have to go now"
"Yes, I do, cause unlike you I need to go to school, but I'll be here tomorrow"
A scream could be heard in a near by alley.
"Okay, maybe one more" she looked over the edge to see the usual, a girl surrounded by thugs sporting the traditional dragon tattoo.
"Of course" she climbed off the roof before anyone could stop her.
"Sierra wait" Leo called after her
"Let her go Leo she can take of herself" Raph said as she stabbed one of them in the chest. "And besides do you wanna get into the middle of that" Leo nodded in agreement to his brother
Sierra always got like this when purple dragons were involved with something. If it was just your normal everyday thug then she would beat them up and maybe cause some bruising to her victims, but if it was a purple dragon she would go on a killing spree. It freaked Mikey and Don out, it actually scared Raph and it worried Leo, but they decided to keep their distance if there was any sign of a dragon, if she needed help then they would.
Everything seemed to freeze when they heard a gun cock. Sierra didn't notice, she was too busy punching out someone else. Leo started to climb down the fire escape while Mikey shouted "Sierra look out" then he followed his brother
She heard that, she turned and found herself staring into the barrel of a hand gun. It wasn't a good time to have one, but a flashback hit her.
Flashback (Yay)
A girl about ten years old with long brown hair is kneeling over the lifeless body of an older woman with a bullet hole in her head. Her green eyes were filled with tears.
"Mommy, wake up" she cried "Please wake up"
***
Leo ripped her out of her flashback when he pushed her out of range before gunfire rang out.
"Sierra, snap out of it" he shook her while he watched his brothers take care of the last purple dragon
She looked away as tears welled up in her eyes "Are you okay" he asked, but received no answer. She was shaking violently and sobbing hysterically "Sierra talk to me" Still nothing
"Leo, you should get her home" Don suggested
"Already on it" Leo scooped her up in his arms and headed for her apartment.
***
He landed softly on the fire escape outside of her window. Sierra clung to him like a child while she cried. He got them both through the window and sat her down on the bed. She still didn't let go though "Sierra, you have to tell me what happened out there" Leo demanded softly while wiping away her tears.
"I don't want to talk about it"
"But you have to, you're starting to worry me"
"It's nothing, you don't have to worry" she unwrapped her arms from his neck and wiped away the remainder of her tears.
"Don't try to play it off, I know something's wrong and I've known for a while now"
"I… just can't talk about this… it just hurts too much" She started sobbing again "Please don't be mad at me"
"I could never be mad at you… you're hurting and I understand that, you don't have to say anything" Leo said "But you have to know that I'm here for you whenever you need me"
"I know that" she said as he stood "Wait, don't go" she sounded like a child "Please I don't want to be alone right now"
He looked down at her. Her green eyes filled with fresh tears, he hated seeing her like this and he could never say no when he looked into those eyes. "Okay" he gave in. He took off his gear and masks and let his swords lean against the window before crawling into Sierra's bed. On instinct she let her head rest on Leo's chest. She soon was asleep, but not Leo he just couldn't stop thinking that something was wrong. After a couple of hours of pondering this question, he heard Sierra talking in her sleep, but she only said one word. Mother.
