OKAY HERE WE GO!

Raph's POV.

I eyed Leo.

He was my first go to.

I already had my teeth ready bared and my arm around one of her waists.

But my eyes froze, waiting for his reaction as he looked to us deeply, exchanging looks between myself and Bonnie. An unreadable face.

I wanted to growl but refrained.

Then Casey exploded.

"Wait…wait- you KNOW each other?"

I looked to Bonnie who immediately retracted her hands from my neck and turned to Casey.

"Sorta…" she shrugged looking nervous.

A silence travelled over us for a minute as she froze beneath me. She eyed my brothers strategically, and I could tell she was trying to work out faces to names.

"How long?" April spoke distracting my attention as Bonnie blushed…

"bout 3 months now; give or take…"

"3 Months?" Casey moved forward, eyeing up his cousin. "3 FUCKING Months?" He came close to us now, only a few feet away from her as she took him in carefully.

"SO every time I talked about Raph you knew?" She looked up to him; an angry expression.

"So? Who cares?! Were friends- no big deal"

"Oh…how did you become friends then huh? Did he just wander into your life at college?! Met at a coffee shop?!"

"Casey!" April scolded as he began his temper tantrum. I rolled my eyes.

"I brought you here to have a safe life, not to be tangled in danger! You got away from that Bon!" He calmed down a touch, eyeing her up as her eyes looked to the floor. She gritted her teeth almost reliving a memory but quickly recovered with a shake of her head.

"AND jus' fuckin' look at him! He screams danger! Did you not learn anything about dangerous men from your last encounter?!"

For the first time in a long time, his comment hit home, he eyed me up angrily as I could only look across- he was right. I was way too dangerous to be involved in her life. Inside a sadness started, but I buried it down. Somewhere in my mind a voice started to call to me.

She aint gonna want ya…

Bonnie seethed. She moved with her hand tighter on the bat. Her eyes hot with anger.

"How fucking dare you!" she breathed through her teeth.

"Casey stop!" April called, trying to get her hand on him but he moved towards Bonnie- his eyes wild as she continued her rant.

"Don't you start bringing that shit into this- He is nothing like my father!" she bellowed angrily as her bat jabbed his shoulder again tightly. "If it wasn't for Raphael I would have been in danger no matter what! He saved me from getting raped Case! How can you be so angry about that?!" Bonnie spoke clearly, standing up for me.

Then Casey exploded.

"YOU DON'T THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE GOTTA KNOW? NOT EVEN DROP IT INTO CONVERSATION?!"

Then she moved forward, a growl on her tongue- it was so fucking cute as she jabbed at his shoulder with the bat.

"OH and what about you?! MR- IM JUST-OFF-CHASING-BAD-GUYS-ALL-NIGHT; THAT'S NOT CHASING CASEY. ITS FIGHTING!" She bellowed out to him.

"THAT'S DIFFERENT!"

"HOW?"

And then they were bickering over each other. I watched her stand up for her self-stand up for me as she told him how I had saved her, protected her. They argued for a few minutes, her curls flying everywhere as she pointed aggressively at me and him. April stood wide eyed as both Jones family members gave as good as each other. They seemed to merge into words as their argument blurred over the top of each other.

April moved forward stepping between them.

"That's enough!"

Silence fell over us; and that's when Leo moved. I stood tall instinctively, anger seeming to burn into my back.

Then Leo met my eyes. His arms crossed watching me darkly, he then sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Were going home; now"

Bonnie turned to look at him. Her bright eyes studied him carefully as he looked her up and down.

I could see the slight blush on her cheeks. I gritted my teeth as she visibly swallowed.

I was gonna fucking tear him apart for frightening her.

Casey growled and pulled away from the crowd for a moment as April went after him with a sharp sigh. My eyes watched him go, letting his earlier comments slide- he was angry; I understood that- anger does things to you, makes you say things you didn't mean.

"We'll catch up" She spoke quickly to the Leo who nodded in her direction understandably. Before she scuttled down the side street after Casey.

I looked down to Bonnie who looked back at me unsure and confused, her eyes still a little crossed with anger that had been left over from her argument.

"Bring her" Leo said; a little softer this time- but by no means less commanding. I growled to him with a snarl on my expression.

He didn't say anything- just turned and fled off. Mikey, who had watched us with wide set eyes moved playfully towards her. Donnie grabbed his face and pulled him away with him as they barrelled forwards.

"What's going on?" she asked me softly as I sighed heavily. I thought back onto Donnie's words…

"She has a right into our lives as we do into hers" he shrugged…

I shook my self down. Her beautiful face was still there, poised and waiting as her eyes spun a thousand different shades of blue.

"trust me a'right?" I breathed to her. She could only nod- slightly with a parted mouth as my arms scooped her up effortlessly. Her legs over my right arm- her back resting against my left. Her arms found my neck as she watched me wide eyed.

She swallowed and waited expectantly. Then I took off, quickly- her grip tightened and her head buried into the crook of my neck.

I jumped down the man hole cover trying my best to ignore the feel of her head on my neck; her body touching mine…

With two more slides down the sewer line we were falling quicker-faster; heading straight for the slide down into the lair. I held her as tight as I could without hurting her- my mind not on anything but Leo and the conversation we were about to have.

I pressed her to me again as she clawed her fingernails into my neck naturally.

I wasn't giving her up for anything…

As soon as we headed down the water slide- I threw her- trying my best not to get her wet as she landed on the soft mats in front with an oomph.

I stood up and shook down, instantly drying my shell with my shakes as I ran back over to her nervously. Bonnie leaned up as I took her hands to help her stand quickly, fussing over her in a way a mother would do a new baby.

I cursed inwardly. I needed to play it cool, I needed to chill out.

She eyed me as I eyed her.

She was in my home, she was here.

"Raph?" she asked me- I could only look at her- her curls a little messy, her eyes wide and sparkling beautifully as she looked around her surroundings.

I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what was coming.

She was looking passed my body now- round the side of it towards our communal area.

Where my brothers waited.

Fuck.

Bonnie's POV

I stood nervously, my entire body wanting to bolt from the room; I didn't feel welcome, or like I belonged and the feel of it made me want to cry.

Their eyes looked at us unreadable, all expect the little orange one-who stood head to head with me on height.

I say little- only in comparison to his brothers who, like Raph, were huge. The blue one, who I thought would be Leo, from earlier commanding comments, looked like Raph the most in stature, only he was smaller by a few inches- looking stealthier even as stoic as he stood. Purple was tall; really tall and slender, but trailing muscle mass just like his brothers.

Orange grinned towards me happily and skipped forward to me as he eyed me up.

"I gotta say, You're a lot prettier than your cousin!" he told me cheerfully in a short joke. as I blew a breath out and smiled to him once, a small smile that didn't meet my eyes, but that thanked him for breaking the ice.

"Dis is Mikey" Raph leant down to tell me quietly as I nodded deeply taking it in.

"Okay…okay…hi" I breathed a little shake in my voice as I forced out a greeting to them, desperate for this horrible aura leave the air.

I smiled to him and moved forward to shake his hand.

'Mikey' looked at it in complete shock- his eyes raised up to the sewer roof and slowly he looked to Raph, who nodded once and then took my hand enthusiastically. He grinned hugely.

"Damn gurl- most people wanna run, not touch" he winked and I felt my shoulders loosen a little more.

"Why? Nothin' wrong with you" I smiled to him gently.

"Aint you a keeper! Well done Raph…" Mikey said in a sultry voice with a wink. I blushed and swallowed.

I looked to his face- a younger face that was more playful than the others with a cheekier grin. I eyed the others up finding features of Raph in all of them, and all of them in Raphael.

"Damn you look like your brothers..." I breathed out in a little whisper to Raph as he came to stand a foot closer to listen to my voice. I could feel a hand on my back, supporting me almost expecting me to fall.

I let go of Mikey's hand and looked to them, crossing my arms almost in self care.

"That would make you…Donatello?" I asked nodding towards the purple turtle who nodded and shuffled loosely with a small smile.

My eyes crossed to blue.

"And Leonardo…" I breathed out as he watched me, an unreadable expression as he nodded once- showing recognition of my voice.

I swallowed. He did not look happy about his.

I pushed my curls back behind my ear as I felt my fingers itch to reach for Raph- almost protectively; trying to keep him to me as if to warn his brothers away.

I felt silly at the whole idea.

"My apologies miss, for all of this" Leonardo said formally, strongly and I truly believe he meant what he said.

"My brother shouldn't have dragged you into our lives"

Raph growled a little, his face showing the scowl I had seen countless of times.

I swallowed again, my hand now flying to Raph's arm in a way I wanted to before. His face fell a little from the scowl, his shoulders dropped ever so slightly.

"It's not his fault- he saved me…I owe him everything" I told blue with a sincere face. Leo seemed to in take a deep breath as he looked to Raphael. Raph stood tall, a click on his tongue as he remained composed and tall.

"Besides; you are all friends with my only family…I imagine it would have happened eventually" I said with a knowing tone. Leo looked down and nodded twice, considering my sentence. It made me feel a little important as my hand rested on Raph's arm protectively. He moved beneath me, his breathing moving the blood in his arm causing it to raise and fall under my tips.

The feel of his skin just as wonderful as I remembered.

"Still; we rescue and try to stay clear" His eyes now on Raph as he looked to him the way a teacher would a student.

"We don't want to impose on your life- "

"He doesn't impose" I interrupted again, my words flying out before I could stop them. I knew I should have let him finish. I knew it may have been rude, but I couldn't bear him getting angry at Raph- Casey had already done enough; rudely pointed out that he couldn't have met me in college, and I imagined more comments like that coming when they arrived too.

"He's my friend…my only… friend…" I said trying my best not to blush, ignoring the pathetic comment made. I shook away my self pity and smiled to him politely. I crossed my arms.

"Although you could count drinking all my beer as being an imposition" I laughed with a smirk as I looked to Raph out the corner of my eye.

He looked down to me and rolled his eyes. A genuine smile seems to lift the corners of my mouth and his, as he tried to supress it with a look down to the floor as shake of his head.

Then there was a new sound- a door clicking and foot prints coming towards us.

Casey and April came into view as I moved forward, standing in front of Raph like I could protect him.

Well…I could from my cousin at least.

My eyes held onto Casey in the same way Raph's did with Leo's.

He had no right to be angry with me.

Casey moved forward and sighed. We stayed like that for a minute. Eyes tight watching each other.

Then April cleared her throat. Casey retracted like he had been scolded and looked to her with a cross expression, but turned to look at me.

"alright...alright…mmm sorry for…freakin' out…" he mumbled.

"You better be" I told him strongly as he eyed me up with shocked eyes. "You had no right to speak to me like that" I told him with a stern expression. "or him" I added flicking my eyes back to Raph for a millisecond.

"Well what do you expect when-"

"Casey" April Scolded in a low voice.

He shut down silently as I shared a look with her, she nodded once to me with a hidden smile. I tried my best to hide my own smile.

She was on my side; that was good.

"I may have…slightly over-reacted a little" he said with a sigh. "jus' that…I wanted to try keep you as safe as possible…after everything" he looked down minutely as I registered his words. I kept quiet, pushing down the memory of my violent incident with a look down to the floor.

Raph's hand was on my back again, comforting as minutely as possible. Casey noticed; his eyes now stern and locked on Raph.

"…and it isn't great havin' your best friend lie to you for over 3 months" Casey picked up a sharp tone as he turned to Raph. Raph moved a little, he huffed and angrily rolled his eyes.

"I didn't lie to ya- ya never asked bout it- what was a supposed ta say- 'by da way av been hangin' wid ya cousin on a night?'" Raph said as my stomach enveloped in butterflies.

"You lied to us; your brothers" Leo added smoothly with a look down to the floor, his eyes wider and pointed as Raph spun.

He growled and moved towards Leo with his chest pushed out.

"Only coz you'da made it a big deal"

Leo looked to his brother strongly, his expression held together as his other brothers knew to keep back.

It made me wonder how often they fought.

"am I making a big deal of it now Raph? Its not the friendship that's the Issue -Anything could have happened to you and we wouldn't have known- something did happen! You were passed out in the dumpster beside the building last night! After falling! it was lucky- "

Wait. What did Leonardo just say?

"YOU FELL?!" I turned twirling at him with wide upset eyes. "HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FALL!" terror etched onto my face as my emotions danced in shock. I swallowed as his nervous eyes met mine, a dancing blush crossed him- like a child who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"You were on the balcony!" I added with a swallow of the lump in my throat. "How could you fall into the dumpster?"

logically it didn't add up; the dumpster was directly below my…

Then memories came spinning back to me.

"Raph! Urgh!" I felt my insides tighten as my body splashed with pleasure, growing and growing until-

Then there was a crash somewhere that made me sit bolt up in my bed.

My eyes flickered round the room as I panicked; my heart going a thousand miles an hour. Breaths tumbled out of me as I jumped out of my bed and stared out of my window.

It had sounded so close and near.

Then a distant noise made me aware of the dumpster below my window as something pounded on it once and a cat squealed out a loud hiss…

Wait.

Was he outside my bedroom window?

My face dropped as I slammed my mouth shut.

I looked to him with wide eyes; his expression filling in the gaps. Blush spreading on his giant cheeks as he copied my expression.

Surely I wouldn't have done something in my sleep…surely I didn't do anything while I had that dream…

No matter how turned on or wet I was when I woke up.

Did I embarrass my self in front of him…like that?

Or better still…

Did he watch me in my sleep?!

"Jus…missed my footin' dats all" he told me. His voice told everyone here he was lying. But I couldn't press on it now- not with all these eyes watching.

I nodded once clearly, shutting the conversation down.

Oh shit- had he heard something?

Or worse…

"Excuse us, I need to speak to my brother privately" Leo added all the while watching Raph. Raph glowed to me for a second, his thumb caressed my back once, and then he turned and followed Leo away, Donnie went to, Mikey winked to me and clicked excitedly before barrelling away.

I sighed and turned back to Casey.

"What was that about?" Casey asked prying into my questions. I shook my head instantly shutting him down.

"Nothing" I said quietly. "Listen…I maybe should have told you I knew Raphael…but I-"

"Its alright…I am really sorry about the stuff I said- I kinda forget you can have your own life; you're a Jones…we get into messed up stuff" he huffed with humour as I grinned to him softly.

"I forgive you" I breathed to him. " I know…with everything that's gone on lately you feel…but you don't need to take responsibility for me"

"No Raphael's been doin' that just fine" He snorted with a roll of his eyes; it was clear he was still annoyed at him.

"Don't be mad at him- he's been a good friend…makes New York bearable" I added with a small giggle.

Both April and Casey seemed to relax and it was only then I realised where I was and who I had just met.

I took a deep breath and spun round to look at my surroundings.

"Fuck…" I whispered breathlessly.

"Oh fuck…" I breathed my hands finding my face as April moved over to me, humour warming her features.

"Let's get you sat down- I'll explain a few things, see what you already know…" she said as they both pulled me to the dining area and the story of how they came to be began…

Sooo- Lets hear what you think so far; I am quite far into this story so Im about...maybe 2 chapters ahead- But I still wanna know where you think this is going? What will happen?! What do you think Leo will do... DUN DUN DUUUNNNNN

Thanks to everyone still reading and reviewing; I love you guys 3
