Mikey's room
The Turtle's Lair
The Sewers
New York, New York
"Do you think that I could come with you guys tonight on your patrol?" Kara asked, lying on Mikey's bed, while she looked his Batman comics.
"I don't know if you can keep up," Mikey answered reluctantly, sitting in a chair at the foot of the bed drawing a picture. "I mean, Leo likes us to keep moving to keep from being seen. Plus, we jump roofs sometimes."
Kara looked up at Mikey.
"Hello! Mikey does the word 'wolf', mean anything to you? I have more energy than a lot of people. I sleep five hours a night and that is good enough for me. I have roof-hopped before. Of course Centre operatives were chasing me at the time, but nonetheless I can still do it. I have more muscles then a bodybuilder on steroids. My muscles are just more compact. I can dog trot miles on end without getting tired. I can probably sprint at top speed for at least 1200 meters. (3/4 of a mile) Come on Mikey, I won't even fight with you if you don't want. I promise! Please!!!"
Mikey broke. "Oh, alright. Go ask Leo and see what he says, and if he says 'yes' you can ask Jarod. The if he says 'yes' you can go."
Kara jumped off the bed, grinning from ear to ear. She gave Mikey a quick bear hug and ran out of the room.
"Thanks Mikey!"
Kara walked into Leo's room with her hands clasped behind her back and only a slight smile present on her face.
"Leo."
"Hm?" Leo said, not even bothering to look up from the book he was reading.
"Do you think that I could possibly... go on patrol with you guys tonight?"
Kara spoke the last part as if the words were fire in her mouth and the quicker she got them out the quicker she would be relived of pain. Leo looked up from his book now that she had got his attention.
"I don't know..."
"I already explained it to Mikey. I am part wolf. I have leaped buildings before. I can run miles on end. Believe me, I can keep up, and I promise to stay out of the way."
"What would Jarod say?"
"Well, let's see here. He would let me go, so long as I am not too conspicuous to anyone who might be searching for me."
"You want to make a bet on that?"
"Sure. Person who is wrong has to make breakfast."
"Deal."
Leo and Kara went into the living room where Jarod was on his computer.
"Jarod, do you think that I can go out on patrol with the guys tonight?"
"Sure. Just remember that we are still on the run, so don't be too conspicuous."
"Thanks."
Kara grinned at Leo. "That's what he always says. Don't worry- I'll cook breakfast. I want to anyways. The only thing Jarod ever eats is junk food, so I never get to cook breakfast for anyone but myself."
10:00 pm that night
Topside April's apartment
New York, New York
Mikey climbed through the window, motioning for the others to be quiet. As the others took their time climbing in over the sink from the fire escape, Mikey went over to April. She was sitting on her couch, completely entranced in a movie.
"Boo!!"
"Don't do that, Mikey!" Screamed April, who'd jumped sky-high in surprise.
"But it's so fun!" He laughed. Then he sobered. "April, we would like you to meet our new friend, Takara. A.k.a., Kara."
April extended her hand to Kara, and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise."
Leo stepped forward. "Master Splinter wants us to keep an eye on you. He says that the Purple Dragons are out to kill you. I was planning on going to stir them up to get them off your back for a while. I wanted to let you know so you weren't totally in the dark about it."
April laughed. "Leo, I am always in the dark about everything you guys do. This won't make a difference. Anyways, I have four big strong bodyguards to protect me. Right, Mikey?"
Mikey grinned and slung his arm around Donny's neck.
"Yep, big strong body guards, that's us."
" Well, now that that is over. Can we go on patrol now? I have this urge to kick some butt." Ralph took out his sai and twirled it around to prove his anxiousness. April shot him a frosty glare.
"Ralph, put those away. Last time you did that Mikey tackled you and you accidentally let it go flying and broke my favorite vase. Raph shrugged and went on to put his sai away. Before he could, Kara looked over to see Mikey sneaking up behind Raph.
"I sense some De-ja-vu going on here," warned Kara. Raph turned at the warning, his sai traveling in his hand at head level. Mikey ducked.
"Hey bro, I'm not that dumb," laughed Mikey as Raph went to retrieve his sai from where it had lodged itself in April's wall. April groaned and Kara giggled. Leo stated that they should be going before April's neighbors got suspicious. Everybody said good-bye to April, and with that Kara and the guys jumped back out the window to continue with their patrol.
Kara followed the guys. They ran at a slow pace across each roof, jumping from one to the next as they went. Kara became happier and more care free as she started to feel the wind in her face. The only thing better than having friends that she could keep for more than a month was the feeling of being free. That was what running did for her. She felt free.
Kara kept pace with Mikey. Out of the four brothers Kara found she liked him the best. He yearned for friendship, just like her. The other brothers were not quiet as social even though they all liked to talk and joke around.
Leo motioned for everybody to stop. Kara listened closely and could hear the faint sounds of a struggle coming from the alley below. Mikey snuck over to the ledge where Leo was taking in the situation, held a brief conversation with him, and then walked back over to Kara.
"You wanna come?" He asked.
"Where?" Whispered Kara
"To go get this guy. Leo said that I could handle this one. You wanna come help?"
"Sure."
Kara hopped over the ledge that separated the top of the roof from the fire escape. She let herself unleash a small amount of her hunting mode and followed Mikey down to the alley below. She saw a man trying to mug a young woman.
"You want to handle it?" Asked Mikey.
Kara arched an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, I'm right here if he tries anything."
Kara gave Mikey a shrug and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there was a hunger gleaming in them. She had a straight emotionless face on, with just a touch of confidence hidden beneath it all. Kara strolled out calmly from the shadows of the alley like she was supposed to be there- just like Jarod taught her.
"Ladies aren't supposed to be treated as such," she said in a deeper voice than her own. The man turned around.
Where had this kid come from? Wherever she'd come from, she was spooky, no doubt about it. But that never stopped Clay from beating on who he pleased.
"What business is it of yours?"
"Unless I am mistaken, I heard a muffled cry for help."
Kara spread her arms away from her body as to reveal something right in front of her. "I am help."
"Maybe you are mistaken. Either that, or a li'l bit screwed up in the head. No body messes with me." Clay got out a metal pipe.
"You can leave now ma'm," Kara told the frightened woman. "He will no longer be hurting you."
"She's not going any where," said Clay as he advanced slowly with his pipe. Once he came into range Kara's right hand shot up. The Bo that was in her hand quickly disarmed Clay of his pipe. How could I have missed that she had a stick in her hand? thought Clay. Running out of patience, he drew a gun.
"You don't have no right in my business, kid."
Kara let a cold menacing smile play on her lips. In the shadows Mikey was about to step in when Kara started to talk again. She let out a short, mirthless laugh.
"Guns are not to play with. I never really liked people who carried guns that are meant to hurt others. I guess you could call it a childhood fear," she growled.
Clay brought up his gun as if too shoot, and Kara did a little hop as if to jump. Clay brought his gun up farther instinctively but Kara ducked and swept her Bo across the floor.
Up on the roof Don grinned. "I taught her that."
Kara was on Clay before he could move. She put her bow under his chin, forcing his head back.
"Never ever so much as try to hurt anyone again or you will have to answer to me," she said, growling softly to emphasize her point. Clay was too scared to even notice when Kara gave his head a smart tap with her Bo to knock him into unconsciousness. The guys came down from the roof and Mikey stepped out of the shadows.
"...Ok, that was spooky," said Ralph as he hit the ground after jumping the last story.
"He's gonna have dreams of the dark avenger with yellow eyes for years to come," joked Mikey.
Kara shook her head, coming out of the trance she seemed to be in. "Scum like that don't listen to a beating verbally or physically. They can heal from those. They need fear to set them straight. Nothing like good old-fashioned fear to make someone see your way."
Mikey shook his head. "Man, poor dude. I'd hate to be him if he ever tried to do something like again and you were close by."
Ralph shrugged then put on one of his rare smiles.
"Hey, anybody who knows how to get scum like him to corporate gets and 'A' in my book."
The guys went back on the roof. Kara looked once more at the man lying one the ground before following her new friends.
They continued to jump roofs and patrol the town for sometime. Kara was a little quiet for a while but when Mikey missed his footing and fell into garbage dumpster, she couldn't help but brighten up. At around twelve-thirty Leo suggested that they go back to the lair for the night.
A/n ok it may take awhile for chappie four because we are doing writing and reading in English and you know how boring and draining those boring (I swear they're trying to keep me from writing) writing prompts can be, and if you don't, then hope that you never do! Pretty much when I get home I am drained as far as wanting to write something goes. (Yeah, who made reading and English right after each other anyways!?) In other words, I will try to update soon but it will be hard. Please review! I don't care if you type nothing at all in the review box! Just let me know you're out there and are reading my story! (Excuse me, not mine I don't own them, just borrowing them, but I do own the ideas so review my idea! Yeah, there we go!)
