(I still dont own anything TMNT :( )

Raphael's POV

I followed my brothers with a quiet sense of unknowing. We headed into Donnie's lab as the door shut and all three turned to look at me.

We stayed quiet while I waited for Leo to begin yelling. He turned and huffed heavily and then turned again and looked to my face.

"Of all the irresponsible things for you to do..." he grumbled as I gritted my teeth, doing my best to ignore his words.

"you owe me ten bucks…" Mikey muttered to Donnie.

I looked to them in total shock.

"You…you been bettin' on me?!" I raged as Donnie and Mikey looked to me pointedly. They smiled a little and shrugged twice.

"Raphael- you gotta think about this carefully…" Leo's voice pulled the conversation back around as he looked to me with strict eyes.

"Oh fuck off Leo- Ya didn't freak wid April n Casey, n dats jus' da same- not'in else!" I waved him off, disgust on my tongue.

"Its not though is it!" he growled low as I froze.

Had I been that obvious?

I thought back to my actions- the way I touched her, carried her- looked at her…

I couldn't help it. It was how we were around each other.

I needed to be calm with her when they were being so hostile.

But now they were watching me, and they knew. I swallowed and clicked my tongue against the back of my teeth.

"Tell me its not, tell me you're not interested- lie to me again, go on- I dare you" he added as I growled to my self and looked away.

I huffed and turned away from them walking away needing the space- my hot head was filling with anger, and it wasn't a time for one of my overreactions, I needed to play this with ease.

I wanted her to stay in my life, and to keep that I needed to chill the fuck out- as much as it hurt.

"What do ya want me ta say Leo- that I shoulda jus' let 'er get raped? That I shoulda jus' let tha whole thin' happen?" I watched him as he sighed, his shoulders dropped and the annoyance on his face evaporated.

"I know that wasn't an option!" he added as I grunted again and pushed him with my shoulder, squaring up to him.

"Then what?! Jus' turn my tail now and leave 'er, jus' pull 'er out and tell 'er to beat it?"

"Would you? Can you?"

The room fell silent as I took in his words. He could see right through me. I closed my mouth and tilted my head sharply as his words. My teeth gritted tightly.

"See?" he added with a point to me. His facial expression softened a little as he sighed again and looked to me. I remained hard and poised, the idea of giving her up clawed at my heart.

"and I wouldn't ask that, you know I wouldn't" he turned away from me. A breath of relief fell out of my mouth as my shoulders dropped from my stoic position. I breathed deeply. There was still tension there; but neither of us knew what to really do with it.

We all fell silent for a minute or so, letting the words settle into the air. Mikey was the first to become restless.

"Sooo we done now?- I really wanna go n chat to our new hot chick!" Mikey jumped up n down excitedly, his eyes looking through the door to where she was sitting as April and Casey fussed a little over her and she squirmed from it.

"She took to us pretty well" Donnie commented, now following my eye sight.

"What happened to her?" Leo asked in a low voice, gaining my attention again. "Casey mentioned something about dangerous men?"

I looked to him as the others turned to my face too. I sighed; if it would help them warm to her- I would do anything. I watched her from across the way; anger spilling and filling me deeply as I choked on a growl.

"She ain't just moved 'ere for college" I sighed looking down. "'er dad was a drunk…" I swallowed feeling guilty for spilling her private messages to me.

But I trusted my brothers; I trusted them with this just as I trusted them with her. I locked eyes with Leo- needing his acceptance and approval of her; It was the first time I've ever needed anything like this ever.

And I couldn't understand why.

"Few months back…she tried to stop 'im gettin' in a car drunk- he broke her nose and her ribs..."

I muttered it out like a bad taste in her mouth.

"Mother?" Leo added with a sad look across his face as he looked to Bonnie, she sat talking to Casey, now laughing as they sat together tight-knitted.

"Dead; died when she was little"

"Poor girl" Donnie added.

"don' talk bout it round 'er…she only told me da other night…an' I only told 'er I had brothers two days ago so…go easy" I added with another deep breath as I watched her, her eyes were looking past April and Casey, reaching around looking for something…

Looking for me I thought selfishly.

"Mike- go order us some Pizza, Donnie check the perimeters safe, lock up for the night. Raph-"

He didn't need to say anything else. He slapped my shell once, affectionately before heading out of the door towards Casey and April.

I stood for another minutes, just reeling back from the conversation we had shared with each other, swallowing down the lumps I felt in my throat as I watch Leo head over and smile…then he stuck his hand out to Bonnie and she shook it with a smile on her face…

I smirked to myself and felt my feet moving.

They weren't the worst of brothers.

Bonnie's POV

I sat and pinched the bridge of my nose, feeling the small scar there from the breakage, as I sighed and took in this new information. April smiled and rubbed my back as I shook my head.

"And the warthog and the rhino…they're not related are they? Maybe cousins or something?"

Casey laughed.

"Deffo not- they were ex-cons; got mutated a while back."

"Okay… yeah makes perfect sense" I mumbled sarcastically.

"You'll get used to it" He shrugged. Then a door opened from over the way and I looked up, Donatello went left, Michelangelo right- and Leonardo, made a beeline to me, he walked slowly. Like he was trying to work out what to say…

I swallowed, biting my lip; wondering if I was about to be thrown out or accepted. My heart lept.

Then he reached across and stuck his hand out, in the same way I had done to Mikey.

"Sorry for the rudeness…Bonnie isn't it?" he said with a small smile. I froze for a second and then forced myself out of my pit as I thrust my hand into his and smiled nodding my head.

"That's right- and you're Leonardo" I nodded.

"Leo- please" he added as we parted hands and he turned to the fridge.

"Mikey's on pizza and Donnie's locking up for the evening, hope you two are good staying?"

he asked Casey and April as they shrugged un-phased.

"Raph will sort you up with a bed for the evening Bonnie- hope that's alright with you. With all the activity in the area tonight its probably best if you stay too" he added as I could only nod along with the words.

I froze again. Wait- we were staying over now?

Then another sound more steps, heavier- larger. I looked up to the noise and my eyes landed on my turtle.

Huh. I hadn't considered that.

My turtle…

I swallowed the lump down in my dry throat as my eyes locked on his. My insides rocked as he made his way over to me. Everything else seemed to fade away.

It was just me and him in this little room. Taking each other in, in this new surrounding.

"Pizza's comin'" a voice boomed as I jumped and flicked my head round to see a spinning Mikey; leaning over the rail tightly as he grinned towards us.

"Hope you like meat beautiful…" he winked at me as I blew out a laugh I didn't know was being contained. My head swam, my feelings and the crazed day taking its toll.

I dropped my head into my hands as my elbows propped myself up on the table. I laughed into my hands once, rubbing my face down as I breathed out.

The next thing I knew a glass was being put down beside me, a bottle top pop off and liqueur was being poured into a cup. I peaked up to see Raph standing behind me, pouring a small amount of Jack Daniel's into the glass tumbler.

I eyed him up, he looked to me knowingly and winked.

"drink- it 'elps"

I picked the cup up and smirked.

"knew you were a 'jack' guy." I added as I downed the drink in one. I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I squeezed my eyes shut and let the liqueur pull at the inside of my mouth.

Instantly I felt my body relax, my shoulders dropped and the tension in my body lifted a little.

I opened my eyes and peaked up at Raph again. He smiled. His shoulders bounced with a chuckle that never escaped his lips.

"'Ows that?"

"You remembered" I added nodding to glass.

"'ard not ta-made me laugh"

I turned my head, now noticing 5 sets of eyes watching us.

I blew out another breath and nodded to myself; taking in the new faces as I studied each one of them. Most of their eyes moved, Leo looking behind me and Donnie too; obviously studying Raph. But I could feel his eyes on me, watching me in detail.

I blushed.

Then I looked to April suspiciously. Her gaze flicked between me and him…

I froze and clamped my teeth down concerned.

Had she figured all of me out?

It was then when Mikey moved closer, now occupying the chair beside me as he leaned across the table comfortably. I didn't mind; his presence seemed to break all the tension or distract me enough to not realise there was tension there.

"You okay sweet cheeks?" he asked in a light hearted voice. I felt myself naturally smiling at him, feeling peaceful as I nodded to him.

"I'm good Mikey- thank you" I said touching his arm once in thanks. He looked down and grinned to me, showing all of his teeth to me as light conversation took over the table. I leaned back in the chair, my arms now in my lap as I tried to push myself further back into the chair.

I could feel Raph leaning against my chair; his hands playing with the back of it as I looked around.

No one seemed to notice, but I could feel his eyes on me, not constantly, but just there burning every few seconds. I wanted so desperately to turn around and look at him head on.

Was I getting that needy?

"So…tell me beautiful; what did Raph do to get cha to keep wanting his company?" Mikey asked as I blew a breath out and let a small giggle escape. A growl came from behind me.

"Mikey" Raph's quipped voice echoed, but it was to late as he had drawn all attention to me as all eyes settled back on me.

I averted my gaze and turned to look back at Raph, who looked down on me with a confused expression- the first time I had ever noticed him looking like that.

"He didn't keep me wanting his company, he just…kept showing up" I shrugged and laughter echoed round the room. Raph tutted.

"I did not- you were da one climbin' roofs an' stuff" he added as I clenched my jaw and looked to Casey who's face went wide.

"You did what?" he asked quickly.

"ANYway…" I added desperate for someone else to say something to distract him. I turned my eyes annoyed at Raph. He noticed and grinned.

"Den dere was da runnin' through dark streets, getting' lost- ya little danga magnet"

I eyed Casey back who all but bugged eyes out at me. I cursed under my breath at the laughing red clad turtle.

"Calm down; I'm alive aren't I? Besides, I got 'Christian Bale' here racing the streets to protect me" I shot back with a snicker.

"Oh he do his voice on ya?" Mikey laughed as I giggled with him. I turned to view Raph, who now leant away from me with crossed arms and an annoyed expression; looking like a two year-old who had lost his favourite toy. It made my smirk wider.

"Did ya Raph? Did ya do yer 'batman voice'?" Mikey taunted in a mocking dark tone, and it was quickly met with a shove as Mikey rolled forcefully out of the chair he was in. I giggled; Raph blushed- and everyone around us noticed our exchange.

"I'm not sorry; you still drank all my beer remember?" I told him with a point. He shrugged.

"Shouldna bought good beer when you knew a was comin'" he said with a smirk as I shook my curls. I turned to his other brothers who grinned at our exchanged pleasantly.

"Are you sure he's turtle? Because he is most definitely more Raccoon…possibly a goat with the way he eats and drinks" I asked them; they chuckled. Raph shook his head and grinned down to me. I grinned back up our eyes locking for a small amount of time.

"Well I think it is wonderful Raphael has a new kin-ship" a new voice entered as they all turned. I couldn't see over their shoulders until they moved around allowing my eyes to take note of the new figure.

I froze.

In front of me reaching around 5ft 4, was a giant rat- an old gentleman looking- rat, dressed in yellow robes and carrying a 'weekly digest'.

And then my darling cousin started to laugh; Casey eyed me confidently.

"This should be good…" he mumbled.

A bottle lid popped again, and suddenly my glass was full again.

I felt all eyes on me watching as my eyes grew wide registering the new face.

"Donatello, I can't seem to start my television for my programme- I seem to have misplaced the remote- would you be so kind-"

"Sure thing Master" he called as he skidded off.

My eyes bugged. It was only then I notice Raph leaned down, now taking up Mikey's seat beside me as Mikey jumped over to this 'master' rat.

"Hey hey! Master Splinter! Come meet our new friend!"

The rat's eyes turned on me as I took in his features much better than before; his onyx black eyes stared at me deeply, drinking in my face.

"I heard your arrival earlier, I thought time was best before I interfered"

Wait. He had already seen me?

"A miss Bonnie Jones isn't it?" his eyes caught my own as I blinked for the first time in a while. I smiled forcefully, probably looking like a goon, while everyone hid their own smirk.

"Hello…" I commented in a high pitched voice. What was I supposed to address him as 'Sir'?

'Master'? Who was he?

A hand found my back again; Raph's. I blushed.

The rat looked between me and Raphael before grinning warmly; almost lovingly..

"I hear my Raphael has been keeping you company these past few months"

He had heard? Did Raph tell him?! Who the fuck was he?!

"He's been no bother" I added lightly my mind getting slowly used to the rat's presence and appearance. The rat chuckled and leaned across to touch my hand. I let him, as everyone froze for a moment, he studied me- almost looking deeply into my soul as he nodded to me once.

"You have a beautiful soul Miss Jones; much like your face"

I looked down naturally as I blushed, my eyes could see Raph from out the corner of my eyes; his face soft and warm- a small smirk there.

"I trust my son has been accommodating?" he asked and I pulled my eyes confused. I looked to Casey, who nodded towards Raph and Leo.

My head fell forward a little at the realisation.

"You're…Raph's father" I blew out trying my best not to make it sound like a question. He chuckled twice and shook his tail.

"You have still much to tell her my son" he said pointedly at Raphael. Raph kept looking at me, gouging my reaction as I remained mellow and still.

"I shall leave you to it for the evening; perhaps when you are more settled Miss Jones, we may chat for a longer period of time- but right now, my show is about to start" he told me gripping his magazine tighter in an enthused way.

"Good night Casey, April, goodnight Miss Bonnie" he said with a bow of his head and a sigh on his lips.

He mumbled something cheerily as he went down a corridor and disappeared down a tunnel alley again.

I took the glass that Raph had filled and chugged it back again. The familiar sting becoming all too familiar. He chuckled at me; and it didn't go unnoticed by the others in the room. I all but slammed the glass back down onto the table and blew out a deep breath I wasn't aware I had been holding.

Beside me, Raph snickered in my ear; gaining my attention.

"So…you told me about the brothers…you told me they were 'crime fightin' walkin' talkin' turtles…failed to mention the rodent dad!" I looked to him quipped. He sat in his usual position; leg stretched out, arms folded as he smirked to me.

"Yeah….kinda forgot bout dat one" he chuckled "ya face Doll… dat was funny" his shoulders bounced. The others chuckled too, watching us converse as if we were a TV show.

I turned to the rest of them, specifically looking at Leo. My eyes flickered between him, Mikey and Raph.

"So…a rat father with turtle children…and you guys don't question this…or…" I said rolling my hand in the air playfully. They all chuckled happily.

"Were adopted" Leo corrected politely with a pleasant smile.

"Ya dunce" Raph laughed as I looked at him in mock shock, the corners of my lips lifting a little as I shoved him with my hand.

"Smarter than you- robot wars boy" I mumbled as he grinned at me and shook his head.

Then there was a buzz above us and Mikey and Leo quickly disappeared down another corridor. April patted Casey's arm.

"I'm going to change" She told him gently as she stood and looked down to Casey. Casey smiled, blatantly missing April's signal as she elbowed him hard and stared at him crossly.

"What?" Casey asked as she thrust her head away from the kitchen towards the alley ways, her eyes draping across Raph and me before shooting back the way. Casey's eyes widened.

"ohhhhh" he nodded and stretched obviously. "Me too…I'll go change too" He added with a terrible fake yawn.

I watched them both go as April pulled Casey angrily away muttering something about "give them some space…"

The kitchen area was now emptied; leaving me alone with Raph for the first time since all of this had happened. He looked to me, wanting to say something, then dropped his shoulders and shut his lips.

"What?" I asked smoothly as I leant on the table again.

"Not'in…jus…are ya okay?" he breathed to me nervously as I nodded way to quickly.

"My bro's aren't da most…suttle of people…" he added rubbing his neck. I interrupted him with a soft smile.

"I'm fine- really I am" I said my hand falling on his arm reassuringly. I left it there as he looked down at it then back to me gently.

This seemed to be his new expression lately.

"how was everything with your brothers? Were they mad? Do they hate me?" I asked with gritted teeth, nerves filled my system. Raph looked at me completely shocked as his amber eyes narrowed.

"No course not; Mikey's practically droolin' all ova ya…" he told me as I looked down and smiled in humour.

"He's sweet" I told him "They all are actually"

He watched me with a grumbling expression.

"Its annoyin' ta watch" he mumbled as I chuckled at his attitude. Not caring to admit to my self how much it pleased me that it annoyed him.

"Damn Raph some would say you were jealous" I said low in a snicker. He eyed me sarcastically with a raised eyebrow and shut his mouth.

"must be weird" he muttered quietly, trying to change the subject "you bein' 'ere…in da sewer"

"We all gotta live somewhere Raph…" I chuckled. "do you know what's sick? You don't pay rent and your place is so much bigger and cooler than mine; I mean the water slide? Nice touch" I smiled at him as he looked down and laughed at my words.

"T'anks Doll" he said, and in a completely new move, his hand flew on top of mine- resting on top of the one I had on my arm. His fingers caressed mine gently, and it amazed me how soft he could be with me.

And if anything, it was making me fall harder for him, like crashing down deep into the bottom of a sewer.

"I mean it yano…thank you for…bein' you- not freakin' out on dem…on dad…not screamin'…its nice" he rambled on as his fingers drew patterns on the back of my hand, his large finger couldn't really make intricate circles, but he tried and moved further down my arm to draw symbols on the back of my forearm and hand. A small resting smile coated my face gently.

I sighed dreamily; again at him.

I needed to reel it in, but my brain pushed the thought down deep as I breathed out to him.

"Well…I meant what I said the other night…I love having you around" I breathed out to his face. He looked to me; glazed over features as we settled into the little bubble, leaning into each other with soft expression on our faces. Something new coming over us…

"PIZZA!" Mikey called making us jump apart. My heart sprang in my chest as the world came spirally back around to us. I looked to where the orange turtle called from and he barrelled into the eating area and threw the box down onto the table.

My head span as the rest of the crew came back into the room, pulling us away from our bubble; popping it involuntarily.

I shook my head and dove into the conversation, the business of the room seemed to distract from the thumping in my chest, and the ache I know I held for him.

I blew a breath out as Casey and April reappeared, hanging over me checking I was alright; Raph stayed close, watching me and moving Mikey back whenever he got over excited.

It lasted an hour or so; everyone ate in a pleasant conversation as I listened intently to their arguments. Raph constantly rolled his eyes at his brothers, and Mikey constantly winked at me winningly. I would giggle and it would make Raph unsure, a little more grumpier..almost jealous again. This pleased me even more…

"So what are you studying Bonnie?" Donatello asked curiously.

"Psychology; I kinda wanna do something along the criminal line with it; I'm also studying criminology - its really interesting"

Donnie's eyes lit up behind his large framed glasses as he pushed them back on his nose.

"Wow! That sounds cool! do you look into forensic work?" he asked with a tilt of his head.

"Later on this year I do, couple of trips out to scenes too- it really cool"

"Only you would find dead people and crime scenes interesting" April chuckled as I eyed Casey.

"Runs in the family" I said, he leaned over to fist pump me. We laughed a little together.

"But for now, I'm working in the shop- boss is pretty hard going; a real nut" I said pointedly looking to April who grinned and ate some more of her pizza.

"For that you're working double shift next weekend!"

"You're closed then anyway!" I chuckled.

She laughed too "you're right! What a good employee I have."

I laughed at her, with her at the ease of this entire situation; how normal everything seemed. I turned to look at Raph once, he looked down smiling to himself before turning back to his cup. I yawned involuntarily and rubbed my eyes.

"Ya a'right Doll?" Raph asked concerned as I nodded.

"Just tired- its been a long day; haven't had one of those days in a while" I scoffed playfully as I nodded; they all followed suit.

"That goes for all of us; I think some shut eye is called for" Leo added nodding to his brothers who all slowly bobbed their heads. April yawned too and Casey rubbed her back.

"Yeah- I'm going to sleep too; Case- you got your sleeping bag right?" April asked standing up, they both moved round each other. Casey was about to follow naturally, when he stopped stiff and turned to look back at me with careful guarded eyes.

"You gonna be okay?" he asked as I looked around the room to all the boys faces.

"What? you think they're all gonna attack me when you leave? Seriously Case" I told him with a pointed look. He sighed as his features ducked down and crossed together, blush obvious on his face.

"Goodnight Cousin" I called to him as he leant across as ruffled my hair playfully.

"Take care of her Raph" he told my red headed turtle in a serious tone, he slapped his shell once before he scuttled down a corridor following behind April.

His caring message touching my heart.

Then I was left alone with them; confused to where I was actually going.

"Mike- Bonnies takin' ar room tonight- so I'm takin' da couch, you're on da chair" I looked to him with wide startled eyes.

"Wait- I'm one person- there's two of you; I'll take the couch"

"Like hell ya will!" Raph said arguing back. "My place, my rules" he grunted to me as I raised an eyebrow.

"I'll remember that next time you wanna watch robot wars over my whale show"

"It was jus' fishes princess; let it go!" I huffed and pouted; feeling silly but too tired to stop.

"Its totally cool dudette- jus' make sure you sleep in the bottom bunk; that's where I sleep" Mikey winked cheekily again. Raph flat out elbowed him in the stomach, causing him to fall from his chair; he didn't even look at him as Mikey got back up waving his hand.

"I'm good! Sorry! Sorry!"

"Seriously Raph- I'm more than fine with sleeping on a couch or a chair or-"

"I could offer my room?" Leo interrupted, followed by Donnie politely who looked to me smiling

"Or mine?" he chipped in with a nerdish grin. I smiled to their kindness, but it was cut short by a growl from my turtle.

"My bed" he grunted out, and clicked twice. I took in his words; they burned at my groin deliciously.

I thought about what the words could mean, and my thoughts ran away with the idea. I imagined his voice in my ear…

I want ya in my bed…

I bit the inside of my cheek hard, stopping the blood flow.

"C'mon I'll show ya" Raph said, ignoring his brothers faces as I tried to protest, he didn't listen and I sighed and rolled my eyes at him; I turned towards the boys.

I touched each of their shoulders on my way passed in a thankful manor.

"Goodnight boys" I called. I was met with a string of:

"See you in the morning Bonnie!"

"Night angelface!

"Goodnight!"

I turned away following Raph's shell as we walked, he headed down a small corridor, then took a left towards a rounded sewer head and pulled back a red and orange curtain to reveal his room.

It was more a communal area than a room, and opened up out into several different pathways.

I bit my lip unsure.

"Ya okay?" Raph mumbled as I looked down and swallowed.

"It's a little…empty here- you know without noises or-"

Raph pointed to the sofa which stood a couple of meters to my right.

"Il be sleepin' dere" I blew out a sigh of relief; it wasn't far away- in fact we were practically sleeping in the same room; and for that my mind buzzed with happiness.

"Mikey will be on da chair over dere too- an' Leo's rooms just above ere- so don't sweat; ya ain't alone Doll" he told me.

I walked into his curtained area and took in his room. I looked at the oversized queen bunk beds that had been fashioned out of metal and wood. I could see magazines on Mikey's bed and cans of Orange soda sticking out from underneath it.

Orange on the bottom; red blankets on the top. I chuckled at the organisation of it all. Raph fussed immediately, and began picking up clothes and random objects that lay on the floor. I didn't care.

"'ere" he said passing me an oversized red jersey. I took it in my hands and weighed it up, feeling the cotton in between my fingers.

"Somet'in ta sleep in- comfier" he shrugged nervously.

"Is it yours?" I asked him and he nodded twice.

"Kept it from when a was younger- don't really get jerseys ta fit nowadays" he said with a smirk. I nodded, excited I had a piece of his clothing in my hands as I smirked back to him playfully.

"I bet you can't" I looked him up and down playfully, fighting down the raging blush on my face and the fire in my belly.

We stood like that for another minute, until I yawned again and shook my head.

"I'll leave ya to it- am literally outside ya door if ya need me. I'm top bunk too…yano- jus' in case ya were wonderin'...'"

"I got it Raph; Thank you" I told him placing my hand on him again as a sign of thanks. This was becoming more frequent now; a hand here, a touch there- a little back rub when needed.

I swallowed.

He turned to head out, then stopped and turned back around to look at me.

"Goodnight Doll" he offered and I smiled softly.

"Night Stalker"

And with a tut he turned and left, letting the curtain fall back into place- shielding me into his room. I sighed and studied the room a little more closely; it was obvious between him and Mikey, they both shared certain tastes- it also didn't go unnoticed by me the half naked women's calendar hanging from the open wardrobe door.

Human women.

Interesting…

I shook my head- it was the the most spot on bachelor's room I had ever seen.

I stripped from my clothes and pulled on the jersey- it was still huge, about 6 sizes out, but it was soft and smelt exactly like Raphael. I breathed him in; his scent cooling and calming me as I gripped his top.

I climbed up onto his bed, my mind spiralling to all the times he had slept here; sat to think here…

My legs dug into his blankets deeply smothering myself in them. I breathed them in again; his scent zesty and masculine.

I couldn't resist.

And then my mind came crashing down on me; how normal the day had started- how I was trying to fight my emotions for Raph, how upset I had been at the idea of not seeing him for the day…

Then, just like the small explosion, my body shook.

Everything flew at me as I took in the people I had met and my new mangled feelings for this turtle. I also had to now worry about April finding out since I had all but totally admitted everything to her in a long drawn out rant…

I could hardly believe I was in the sewer right now.

I lay looking up at what was neon lights through the curtain edge of this tented room, until my eyes grew insanely heavy and they fell shut sending me to sleep, all the while smelling Raph's clothes and blankets.

Feeling safe and secure in this crazy new world I was shoved into…

Sooooo what do we think?! Whats going to happen next?

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
