She wanted to scream but couldn't, the hand clamped over her mouth muffle out any attempt at sound. Her capture drug her easily back into the shadows and up the back stairs of a old warehouse. She had a good guess as to who her capture was, there weren't that many people who knew where the lair was or where they would most likely go if it caught fire and the only suspect who fit that description who would want to drag her away was an old one eyed turtle.
She tried to suppress the panic rising in her chest, he had almost killed them all, he had already killed her once. He was dragging her backward up a steep stairwell towards the roof, she wanted to try breaking free but her balance was thrown and he was moving to quick for her to regain it, he was probably counting on that.
After a few minutes her feet hit level ground, it was a mixed blessing for now she could stand but now she had to face whatever he capture had planned. She took a deep breath as he released her steeling herself preparing for a fight.
With all of her courage gathered she whirled to face Raphael, but it wasn't him. The pure shock of seeing her capture made her jaw drop.
"Surprised to see me?" He asked a look of innocent amusement on his face. She didn't know what to say, she had never expected to see him again she had thought she had watched him die but obviously she had been mistaken.
"Its ok, I'm sorry if I scared you" He continued.
"Mikey" She mumbled numb with shock.
"In the flesh" He chuckled reaching out toward her, on instinct she backed up and his expression soured.
"I'm sorry if I scared you" He stated again " I thought if my brothers saw me they uh might be a little freaked out"
She nodded numbly forcing a smile onto her face, her head was swimming with questions. She wasn't one hundred percent sure why she felt so afraid of him but something in the way he was looking at her made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
"Just a little shocked" She offered weakly trying to clean the fear from her expression and voice.
"Uh hu" He nodded looking her over head to toe.
"Uh the last time a saw you … " She began hoping to draw him into a conversation, he hadn't taken her very far and it wouldn't be long before her Mikey would come looking for her.
"I got shot" He finished for her "Been worried have you?" There was something troubling in his tone, something was very different about him but she couldn't say what.
"But you don't look hurt" She said quickly avoiding answering what seemed to be a loaded question.
"Its been a few years" He said gruffly now stepping towards her, she did her best to hold her ground and not flinch when he brushed a few strands of her hair back over her shoulder.
"You grew your hair" He said fondly, tone and expression a complete turn around from a few seconds ago.
"I like it" he continued in an affectionate manner, her nerves jangled something deep in side her was screaming at her to run. She wanted badly to be as far away from here a possible, to put as much space between herself and this incarnation of her lover as she could until she could collect her thoughts.
He leaned in to kiss her neck and she tensed, she couldn't help it. He stopped just a few centimeters from her he could sense her discomfort he knew she was afraid of him. She wondered for a brief moment what else he knew, had he know about her and Raph? Did he know about her and Mikey now?
He pulled back from her a dark expression on his face again a complete one eighty personality change, that was not normal. Then she heard it, her name being called somewhere bellow, it was Mikey … her Mikey.
She wanted to call back to him but at the same time she didn't want him to see the other him with her, she hadn't even wanted him to know what had happened between them, her stomach turned with the implications of it.
The sound of footsteps on metal clanged in her ears and she knew he was coming up the stairs looking for her. The older Mikey didn't seem phased by the possibility of his younger self coming upon them; he just stood there looking at her in a disturbed way.
The footsteps grew closer as he leaned in to whisper in her ear, she stood stalk still.
"I've missed you baby" He whispered in her ear , his intonation making her stomach turn over.
"I need you" He continued his breath tickling her ear.
" Like you needed me, when I found you and told you and then……. Took you over and over again" His voice rising up at the last part so that the turtle who had just reached the roof could hear him.
" I'll see you soon" He finished in a whisper. And just like that he was gone, leaving her standing there breathless and afraid. Breathless afraid and facing the shocked and questioning look of the turtle who wanted to marry her. The jig was defiantly up.
