Hello, Wow, it's a long time since I've written anything to do with theawesome foursome, the ninja turtles. Well I was struck by inspiration and funny thing, it happened when I was in the shower. ; Anyway, enjoy this!

It's set sometime in the new TV show kay? Maybe in the future where the turtles would be about 18.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with the turtles. That's Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, thanks again you guys! I only own my character Raine and anyone else I decide to make up.

See with your Heart

It was only partly sunny when Raine stepped onto the platform of the Manhattan Train Station. The wind whipped through her reddish brown hair causing her to have to brush it out of the way so she could see. Grabbing her things she knew this was it, she was finally free to live her own life.

It wasn't going to be easy, she knew that, but nothing could compare to what she had left behind.

All was quiet in the dank underground of the city sewers; one would only hear the constant drippings of water or the occasional scurry of rats.

This however would not be the case in the lair of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If three of them plus their master were being quiet, the other would doing something to disturb the peace. On this day this was exactly the case and the individual was Michelangelo.

Mikey wanted to test out his brand new skateboard but his mistake was to try it at home. There was a bowl-shaped hole in the floor where he'd to ollies and kick-flips.

Everyone had endured just about enough of the noisy skateboarding and eventually Raphael snatched the board right out from underneath Mikey when he was in mid-jump. This caused the orange-wearing turtle to tumble down into the lowest part of the bowl twisting on his shell a little.

"Mike, I can't stand this thing! If you don't get it out of here… I'll smash it!" he said throwing it in some random direction.

Donatello had just enough time to catch it before it crashed into whatever he was working on. "Hey! This is delicate work here!" he said leaning it against the wall.

Climbing out Mikey gave his head a shake. "Yow, bro why'd you have to do that?"

"Because I can't stand that thing." Raph repeated.

Leonardo was not going to get any practising done with all this racket. He stormed out of the dojo to see what all this was about.

"See? Leo will agree." Raph said.

"Agree with what? I just came to see what's going on here."

"The orange wonder was skateboarding again." Raph said. "So I threw it."

"Almost into my stuff!" Don said with annoyance.

"Well you shouldn'tve put it there." Raph argued.

That was absolutely ridiculous and Don knew Raph had said it out of anger. "How in the heck would I know you'd throw something at it?"

"Guys! Guys! Stop arguing, I just wanted to ask everyone to be a little more quiet." Leo said standing between them.

"Don't tell it to us, tell it to him." Raph pointed to Mikey, still rubbing his head where he bumped it.

"Well you shouldn't do it in the lair Mikey." Donnie said.

"Yeah, you have miles of sewer to board in." Leo agreed.

Mikey said nothing but grabbed his board and headed for the elevator. "Fine, I'll leave if I seem to just be messing everything up anyway."

"Mike, wait. " Leo said but doors had already closed.

Master Splinter emerged him his room. "I sensed tension, where is your brother?"

Leonardo pointed upwards with his thumb. "Up there, I guess we were too hard on him,"

"Speak for yourself, Leo." Raph said bitterly.

"Raphael! Ten flips." Splinter commanded, not liking his attitude right now. "Well, he'll return and I think you owe and apology even though that board of his is indeed noisy. I'll talk with him about it once he returns."

"Whenever that is…" Leo said to himself.

Once Mikey was outside he climbed to the top of the building and leapt to another. He'd see what Casey was up to and maybe pull a Raph and look for some troublemakers to beat up.

Casey's place was dark and empty when he reached it. "Where is he?" Mike said to himself, the trade-mark hockey mask was still there so he couldn't be out being a vigilante.

He found a piece of paper on the ground with the words Chez Antonio's at 7:00 scrawled on it. Mikey was bored and decided to check it out he knew exactly where this French restaurant was. He wondered why the hell Casey would be in such a place.

In a short while he reached the lit restaurant and spotted Casey sitting near the window with April. They were both dressed formally, with April wearing a short red dress with her hair done up. Casey had actually attempted to dress up for this, he wore a suit and had his hair combed. The only thing Mikey could see that was wrong was his tie hung a little low.

For a second he couldn't wait to tell his brothers about this but then remembered why he'd left in the first place. He had to find a way to get Casey out of there, he saw a small stone at his feet and flung it at the window. It was not hard enough to break the window but it was enough for Casey to get up and check it out.

He went to the back door and opened it to find nothing. "Hello?"

Mike slipped out of the shadows. "Boo!" He said laughing as he watched Casey jump.

"Whoa, jeez Mike! What the heck are you doin' here?" he asked.

"Being bored that's what! Now what are YOU doing here?" he asked slyly.

"Well… it's kinda our anniversary so I wanted to take her someplace nice y'know?" he said shifting nervously.

"Ah… awesome, I hope it goes well for ya."

"Thanks, eh? And if you're looking for some action try near the train station."

"Hey all right, oh, you might wanna..." Mikey gestured to his neck.

Casey tightened the tie. "Oh yeah, see ya."

Meanwhile, Raine was completely lost; she couldn't find the address to the apartment she was supposed to go to. There wasn't any phone in the station either nor was there an information booth. She'd have to go outside and she didn't want to do that, for it was getting dark. She knew this city was unsafe to go out at night in but she couldn't stay here all night. She'd have to risk it; there was a phone booth not too far away.

She exited the train station and tried to walk fast, almost immediately she knew someone was following her. Breaking into a run, she hoped to lose them but one of them ran faster and grabbed her.

Mikey had just reached the train station to see a group of guys grab someone and drag them into an alley. "Excellent…" He said jumping over to the building closest.

Raine kicked and struggled, "let me go you…!"

The one who grabbed her laughed. "Ah, she's feisty, I like 'em better that way…"

He started moving his face closer to hers, almost causing her to take drastic measures. However, someone had jumped down kicking the guy out of the way. She couldn't quite see who it was but he was single-handidly taking out every single punk in the alley. He also seemed to be having a great time doing it.

"Cowabunga!" He swung his nunchaku at the closest guy effectively knocking him out. "Idiots like you shouldn't be messing around with nice girls you know!"

The teen who held Raine shoved her back against the hard wall of the building and grabbed a wide metal pipe. He slowly moved towards their attacker raising the bar high over his head.

Raine's initial thought was one of immediate distress, if he knocked that guy out he'd probably just come right back and rape her. She had to do something, he was getting closer and closer.

Mikey barely noticed the man with the metal pipe, he was too busy beating up the other teens. He did however hear the scream of 'Watch Out!' and saw this girl run towards him just as this other guy was about to hit him with a metal pole.

"No, stop!" he cried but a sickening smash was heard and he saw the girl fall to the ground.

Raine could feel nothing except hitting the ground, it felt as if time had slowed down and then there was nothing but darkness.

The teen who hit her then tried to run away but Mikey had grabbed him, glaring at him with hate-filled eyes. "You, idiot bastard! You're not getting away that easily…" He tied him up to the nearest ladder and left him there, the other guys were too bruised and beat up to do anything about it. Mikey then called the police with an anonymous tip to where he left the punks.

He then went over to check up on the girl horrified to find the left side of her head to be covered in blood. He couldn't tell at all if the damage was serious, the only thing he could think of was bringing her back to the lair and have Don take a look at her. For the mean time he ripped off his bandana and tied it around her head, knowing it would be hard to get the stains out later but somehow that really didn't matter at the moment. He gingerly picked her up and her stuff and carefully climbed down the nearest manhole.

Boy would his brothers love seeing him bring this home… he thought sarcastically.

Somewhere down by the docks in an abandoned warehouse a few shadowed figures snuck inside.

"Master! We have returned…"

A deep voice answered them, it didn't sound too pleased.

"There were many of you… why have so few of you returned and I might ask… empty handed?"

They shrank away, "we're sorry! We got beat up by this… freak! We won't fail you again…"

"Freak you say? Well you just leave everything to me… you can go now."

The teens retreated and left the docks, thankful that this time, they didn't get punished.

Mikey entered the lair still carrying the girl, the first thing he did was bring her to Donnie for he was the only one who could help at this point.

"Donnie! You gotta help me!"

Unfortunately it was late and the turtle in question had been asleep for a while until Mikey stumbled into his room yelling and carrying something.

"Mmrg…" he moaned sleepily. "Mikey…? What is it…?" he looked at the clock, the glowing red numbers said 1:33am.

"It's… this girl! You have to help her… she's hurt real bad."

Mikey actually sounded serious about this Don noticed and eased himself out of bed. "You better not be lying…"

Pretty soon they had her lying on the kitchen table, Don looked in each of her eyes with a tiny flashlight. He had cleaned up her wound and bandaged her head but his face still remained serious.

"Mikey… this isn't good. I may not have as much technology as a hospital would have but her eyes aren't responding to the light at all. She could have had her optic nerve damaged when she got hit in the head…"

Mikey felt extremely guilty at this point, he was trying to save her, not have her try and save him… "And there's nothing else you can do?"

He shook his head. "Some things are just too big for even someone like me to fix."

"When she wakes up, how… do we tell her that…?"

"We wait for the morning… it's too late to do anything about it now. She can sleep on the couch but be very careful with her head."

"You don't need to tell me twice… Thanks Donnie." He lifted her off the table and onto the couch. He then grabbed a pillow and a blanket and lay down on the floor beside her.

"After all, she shouldn't wake up alone if she can't see…" he muttered to himself before falling asleep.

Raine didn't wake up until early next morning and she had no idea where she was… nor did she know who the snoring person next to her was.

A/N There you go for chapter one, tell me what you thought of it and if you'd like to see more. And I know some things might not be accurate about her getting hit in the head but just bear with me here.
