TMNT
NAOMI
Summary: The turtle's good friend Naomi has returned to make amends with them and to rekindle her relationship with Raphael.
Raphael uncovers her secret: Naomi's real reason for returning is to seek vengeance for her dead brother. Meanwhile, the boys in green discover her powers are becoming stronger and she may be their most dangerous enemy yet…
A/N: I recommend you to read my first TMNT fic called The Power In Me, which will tell you how the guys met Naomi etc. It'll make more sense!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the guys (sniffles) but I do own Naomi Waters and any other original characters.

" You think you won?" Garland laughed out loud, " Think again," he leapt for Raph but Raph took out his sai and flung Garland back against the wall with a crash. Garland slumped to the floor and Naomi screamed when she saw the sai embedded in Garland's chest, " Matthew!" she cried and her brother's eyes opened. He looked down at the weapon in disbelief.
" Matthew…you're going to be all right," Naomi rushed to her brother and when she saw the blood pouring from his wound her face went ashen. She placed her hands around the sai trying to stop the flow of the blood but it was too late. Matthew's eyes closed and his head lolled sideways. " Matthew!" Naomi stared at him then turned to face the turtles.
" You killed him," she accused Raph.
" No…it was an accident," Raph protested.
" You wanted to kill him all this time and you did," Naomi stood up and glared at Raph, " He was my only living family and now he's gone," tears ran down her face and she started trembling.
" I'm so sorry," Raph went to hug her but she stepped backwards.
" Stay away from me. All of you," her eyes were not filled with tears anymore but filled with hate.
" This isn't over you know. I'm going to avenge his death. You'll pay for what you did." Naomi shook her fist at the them before feeling the apartment.
" Naomi!" Don called after her.
" We should go after her. She's not herself," Raph said but Leo stopped him.
" No. Let her be. She'll get over it soon enough."
" I think she really means what she says," Don said nervously.
They heard sirens outside, " We better leave," Leo said and darted out of the door. His brothers followed him and they headed for home.
Naomi was jolted awake by the shrill ringing of her phone. She rubbed her brown eyes and reached over to grab the receiver.
" Hello?" she croaked and cleared her throat.
" Naomi? Where are you? You're half an hour late for work." Her boss and best friend Sarah Henderson greeted her.
" I'm so sorry Sarah…but I'm not feeling well. Can I have a day off?" she feigned a cough for effect.
The truth was, she didn't feel like doing anything except hide in her bed. Her brother had died three months ago and she still felt haunted by his death.
" Okay, you don't sound very good. I don't want to catch whatever you've got." Sarah answered, " Don't come back to work until you feel 100 percent okay?"
" Thanks Sarah. I owe you one." She said goodbye and hung up the phone. She pulled the bedcovers up to her chin, closed her eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.

" Watcha' doing Raph?" Mike's voice made Raphael jump. He quickly hid a photograph under his pillow and sat up, " Trying to wake up." Raph replied grumpily and rubbed his eyes. He reached for his red bandana and tied it on, " Why are you so bright eye and bushy-tailed?" he demanded. Mike's cheerfulness just made him grumpier.
" I don't know. I guess I'm a morning person." Mike answered, " And I also have pop tarts in the toaster. Are you joining us for breakfast?"
" Sure, yeah, in a minute." Raph waved him off and went to look for his Sais, which was around somewhere. His bedroom was such a mess; it was hard to find anything these days. Who had time to clean up bedrooms? He sure didn't. He had too much stuff on his mind to care about such things.
" There you are." He muttered as he spotted his sais on top of his small dresser, half buried under a spare blanket. He sheathed them then headed into the kitchen to eat.
Leo was seated at the table, eating some cereal. Don wasn't at the table and neither was Splinter. Splinter had gone with April and Casey to their upstate farm for a bit of R&R. Which meant Leo was in charge while he was gone.
Lately, Don had become a hermit. He was either staying in his lab all day or sitting in his room reading science magazines or books. He rarely went topside unless it was his turn to do the food shopping.
Don had started doing this ever since their friend Naomi Waters had disappeared from their lives three months ago. They hadn't heard from her since. It was if Don had escaped into his own little world and if he returned to the real world, memories of Naomi would come back.
Raph knew how Don felt. Raph and Naomi were involved in a brief relationship and Raph discovered Don had also loved her.
Which is also why Don had been avoiding Raph-a lot.
He needs to start talking again. Raph mused; life is too short to hold a grudge against your brother. Today he would make some kind of effort to patch things up with Don.
" Here you go Raph." Mike put a plate down in front of Raph, " I'll go get Donny."
" Don't waste your energy Mikey. He won't join us." Raph advised him.
" Can't hurt to try can't it?" Mike asked him, " Who could resist pop tarts?" he left the kitchen and went to look for Don. He wasn't in the lab so Mike tried his bedroom.
Don was sitting up in bed reading a thick Science book.
" Breakfast time Donny." Mike greeted him.
" I'm not hungry." Don answered bluntly, not even looking up.
" C'mon, it's pop tarts! And breakfast is the most important meal of the day-that's what you're always telling us."
" I don't believe in that anymore. Now, please leave me alone Mikey."
Mike sighed, " All right then." He left, feeling dejected. He returned to the kitchen and Raph shot him a smirk.
" I told you." He said.
" We've got to get Don out his funk." Leo spoke up then, " he's acting too much like you Raph."
" Shut up Leo," Raph retorted, " if Donny wants to be left alone, then let him be okay?"
" I'm worried about him too Leo. He's becoming too much of a hermit these days and it ain't healthy."
" Maybe we can get him to go topside to do some shopping." Leo suggested.
" No way Leo, it's your turn." Raph reminded him.
" That's a good idea Leo, I say let Don go this time. Leo can do it next week." Mike agreed nodding.
" After breakfast I'll tell him." Leo decided, " And he's joining us for practice even if I have to drag him into the dojo by his shell."
Don closed his book and sighed. His stomach was rumbling and he could smell pop tarts, but he couldn't face anyone and their endless questions.
The best thing to do was to go back to sleep. He hoped he didn't have any more nightmares about her.
Oh Naomi, where are you?
