Magic Water

Magic seems to be terribly bad for people.

Day 1. 6:58 PM.

The turtles stayed at the couches for some minutes. There wasn't much talk between them. They were all anxious about hearing the explanation of what was really going on with that place and what were they doing there. It would have to be a very good explanation for them to forgive those people who had treated them that way. The turtles were all looking at the door, impatiently waiting for someone to come in. Some minutes later, someone finally arrived.

A woman dressed in jeans and a blue-flowered shirt with a white coat on entered the room. She seemed to be younger than 30 years old. She had a long brown curly hair tied on a messy ponytail. She had green eyes. The woman didn't look any similar to the other people in there. A bodyguard entered the room with her.

"Turtles, she is Sophie. She will be in charge of you." He introduced. "Would you like me to stay here with you in case that they give you any trouble?" He asked Sophie.

"Uh… I think I can handle it. I'll call you if I need any help."

With that said, the bodyguard exited the room, leaving her alone with the turtles.

"Who the hell are you and why are you keeping us here?" Raph asked with anger in his voice.

"Don't worry, I come here to answer all of your questions." She responded as she sat on a couch.

"Well, you better start now. Give us a detailed explanation of what are we doing here." Leo demanded.

"Alright. You are here because you were sold to us…"

"Sold to you?" Donnie interrupted. "What the hell? That's illegal!"

"Well, in fact, is not." Sophie answered.

"What? What do you mean is not?" Leo asked.

"You see, you are not human beings. As far as we know, you are giant turtles. For the world, you are just oversized animals."

The turtles didn't respond. They had never thought about that.

"But… But if we were just animals, we wouldn't be able to talk to you like we're doing right now." Mikey justified.

"Yeah, he's right! We act like human beings!" Raph defended.

"But are you? Humans don't have shells. Humans are not green."

"This isn't fair! Just because we're not the same as you, you should be treating us like this!" Leo yelled.

"Look, we don't know anything about you. At the room, you acted as human beings, but your DNA tells us that you are not. As far as we know, you are a whole new different species. You four are something that has never been seen before. They sold you to us so that we could learn more about you and who knows, maybe someday your species will be known as another kind of human species."

"Our species? We're not a…"

"I think what Raph is trying to say is that we haven't knew anyone of our species since we were born. We don't know where do we come from either." Donnie interrupted as his brothers looked at him with confusion.

"See? That's what I'm telling you about. We can learn so much things from you and you'll be able to be part of great science discoveries. We'll be performing tests on you that will help us to find out more about you."

"What kind of test would you be performing on us?" Mikey asked.

"All kinds of tests, but anyway, we are not here to discuss that, plus I can't really tell you about that right now."

"Why not?" Leo questioned, suspicious.

Sophie though before answering. "Because… they haven't scheduled them yet, so I don't know about them either."

"So, what's your job exactly?" Raph talked.

"Well, it's obvious that you are here against your will, so my job is to be in charge of you and to do whatever is the best for keeping you safe and keeping the scientists safe. Any other question?"

"Are we going to get out of here someday?" Mikey asked again.

Sophie doubted before answering once more. "Uh… Sure. We're not certain when, but you'll be free someday."

None of the turtles replied anything. They knew that was a total lie. A long silence filled the room.

"Okay, so it's getting kind of late. I'll take you to your rooms so that you can have some sleep before starting tomorrow."

"Our rooms?" Donnie asked.

"Well… Yeah. I mean, you need somewhere to sleep, right? Follow me."

With that said, Sophie stood up. The turtles followed. As they got out of the room, three bodyguards followed them. They walked through a few hallways. After some minutes, they arrived to an elevator. They all stepped inside. One of the bodyguards pressed the button on floor 6. Finally, they arrived to the floor. They walked a few steps further to find a big wood door.

"Alright, I'll tell you how this is going to work. Here is where you will be living. This is the only place where you can be with no handcuffs on, so every time you come here, the bodyguards will take them off."

As Sophie said that, one of the bodyguards took out some keys and started to take the handcuffs off the turtle's arms. Raph was the last one.

"Please don't try anything this time or you'll have to sleep on handcuffs." Sophie asked.

"Fine." Was the only thing Raph said before getting the bodyguard to take them off.

When they were all done, Sophie opened the door. As they stepped inside, the bodyguards stayed outside.

The place was big. All of its walls were white and gray. At the right side of the door, they saw a big crystal table and four chairs around it.

"First, this is where you eat. All of the food is at the kitchen. Follow me please." Sophie ordered.

They stepped inside the door that was at the left side of the entrance door. They founded a massive kitchen. They had a big refrigerator and shelves full of food and drinks of all kinds. There was also a stove, toaster, blender and every type of kitchen item.

"So, in here you can eat, drink and prepare anything you want, the food is filled up again daily. You are meant to have breakfast and dinner in here. The lunch will be served to you depending what you are up to at the moment. They'll be some times that we'll ask you to not have breakfast depending on the tests that you have, but if that's the case, we'll tell you a night before."

They went outside of the kitchen, passed the area where the table was and entered to the living room. The living room was enormous too. It had some couches, a little table and a giant TV in front of that.

"Here you've got the living room. The TV has HD cable and some consoles so that you can play video games and watch movies, which you can find on the shelf next to it."

They saw a door next to the living room.

"That one is a bathroom, but this one doesn't has a shower. The one that has a shower is upstairs."

At the other side of the living room, there were white stairs to a second floor. They followed Sophie upstairs. They found a large corridor with two doors in one side, two on the other side and one at the end of it.

"So, each of you has their own room. The rooms are all the same, so you don't need to fight to get the best one."

They entered to a room. They saw a king-sized bed, one of the room's wall was a window to the outside. They say a big garden at the other side. They also had a sleep table and a lamp.

"Each of the rooms has its own window to the outside. Finally, the last door at the corridor is the other bathroom where you can shower."

They stepped into the bathroom. It was huge. It even had a Jacuzzi.

"The bathroom supplies are filled in daily so that you don't run out of them." Sophie explained as they stepped out of the bathroom and closed the door.

"So, this is where you'll be living. There's an alarm programed at 8 AM so that you wake up and have breakfast. At 9 AM the bodyguards will come and look for you and I'll advise you to be ready if you don't want any trouble. The bodyguards will take you to the gym because you told us at the clinical examination that you are used to exercise daily, so you'll have two hours of training. At 11 AM, the tests start. Also, just between us, you can do the mess that you want. Every morning when you're not here the maids come and clean up. Any question?"

The turtles just said no with their heads. They haven't spoke at all. They were amused. They've never lived somewhere so fancy never before. They were used to live at the sewers. This was all new to them.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Good night."

As Sophie said that, she walked downstairs and exited the small apartment that was now their home. The turtles went downstairs too. They stood there for a moment. They didn't knew what to do.

"Guys… I can't believe this… We live in a mansion!" Mikey shouted happily.

"This is amazing! We can do anything we want to in here!" Donnie followed.

"It's quite impressive, but they're not controlling us with all of this expensive shit."

"Raph's right, we need to start making a plan so that we can escape."

"Leo, Raph we can start doing that tomorrow. The morons think that we are a brand new species. As far as they're not concerned that we are mutants, the tests that they'll perform on us won't be anything bad, I guess." Donnie explained.

"We have lots of food, video games and movies guys! One night won't do any harm, right?"

Leo and Raph thought about it for a second. Donnie was right. What could go wrong? After all, they were teenagers, they were meant to have fun sometimes.

"Just one night. Tomorrow we start planning our way out." Leo said.

Mikey danced with joy.

"I'll go to the kitchen!" He shouted as he ran with freedom.

Raph followed him as Donnie turned on the TV. Leo decided to go upstairs to have a shower at the Jacuzzi. He had never done that before but he felt that he could use one.

The hours passed even tho they had no idea of the time. Leo finally decided to get out of the Jacuzzi. He grabbed a towel and dried up, then he putted on his bandana and went downstairs where he could listen to his brothers shouting with joy. He could also hear music, really loud music. Were they listening to Nicky Minaj?

As Leo walked downstairs he saw his brothers and the living room. It was a total mess down there. His brothers had the floor and the couches filled with food and drinks. The music was all the way up and Anaconda was playing. Mikey was standing up on the living room table dancing and singing while Donnie and Raph were at the couch playing Mario Kart while they ate chips and gummy bears.

"Mikey you're blocking my view idiot!" Donnie yelled.

"Yeah, get out of the way! We're… We're going to get a ticket or something if you don't let me see the way!" Raph shouted. There was something odd about him.

Mikey busted out laughing. "Dude! My anaconda is not getting out of the way!" There was something odd about Mikey too.

"What's going on?" Leo asked.

"Want to play Leo? Mikey stopped playing so he could dance and Raph… He is just not in a good condition to play."

"What? What do you mean he's not in a good condition?"

Before Donnie could answer, Mikey did.

"Donnie means he's drunk!" He laughed. "I had some of it too but just don't tell yourself or you're going to get really mad!"

"Are you guys drunk?!" Leo yelled angrily.

"I… I needed it dude. This is the drunkest I've ever been in my life!" Raph shouted happily.

"In your life? You've been drunk before?" Leo asked. He couldn't believe it.

"Not that you know, just… Just grab a Pop Tart. We just found out they existed and they're so fucking good! Can you believe it?"

"I'll tell you what I can't believe! I can't believe that you guys care this less that we're being held in here against our will! I can't believe that you decided to get drunk instead of preparing ourselves to escape! What's wrong with you!"

"Leo, I told you not to… Not to tell yourself because you would get angry! You need to start listening to what they tell you man!" Mikey said. He was not feeling well at all. "Dudes… I feel like the magic water that Raph gave me wants to come out from my mouth. Should I let it?"

"Oh, that's gross. Come on Mikey, let's go to the bathroom. You seriously should have listened to me when I told you that wasn't magic water…" Donnie said as he stood up and helped his brother to get to the bathroom.

Raph stayed sitting at the couch.

"Unbelievable Raph! I thought for once that you were taking something seriously and the moment I decide to take some time for myself, you get Mikey and yourself drunk! You really can't be trusted!"

Raph hardly stood up, but he did. He walked as he could to where Leo was.

"Look Lame-o-nardo…" He stopped and laughed for a second. "I don't care what you say to me and my Vodka, because even the Vodka knows that you are the only freaking reason of why we're here. I… I wanted to avenge Master Splinter but… But you just couldn't take that I was going to kill Shredder and you weren't, so stop blaming others for your mistakes you… You fucking idiot! Now, let me drink in the name of Splinter…" With that said, Raph tumbled upstairs with the Vodka bottle in his hand.

Leo just stood at the living room. He could hear Mikey vomiting at the bathroom and Donnie, who was supporting his little brother. He waited until they went out of the bathroom. Mikey could barely walk. He was really pale. His eyes were closing.

"I'll carry him upstairs to his bed. Thanks Donnie."

As Leo said that, he carried Mikey and did as he said. Donnie followed him after turning the TV, the music and the lights off.

Leo opened a door to leave Mikey there, when he saw Raph in there.

"What the hell Leo? I picked this room! Go pick yours, moron!"

Leo didn't even bother in answering, he just closed the door and took Mikey into another room. Then, he finally let Mikey at the bed. He stood there at silence

"Mikey?"

"Uh." Was the only thing Mikey could say.

"I love you. I'm sorry if it's my fault that we ended up in here." He said, letting a tear out. "I'm sure that Master Splinter should hate me right now."

"It's not your fault. Splinter will always be proud of you. Don't listen to Raph. He'll tell you that the water is magic when it's not. I love you Leo." Mikey managed to say.

Before leaving, Leo gave Mikey a hug, then he closed the door as he got out of the room. He said good night to Donnie and he went to sleep, not forgetting to pray for Splinter. Tomorrow would be another day.
