Last Time on Complete Family:

"I'll be right back, little one. I promise I won't take long." She said before gathering clean clothes and silently striding to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and got changed. She creeped back into her room to see that the little green terrapin had fallen asleep but still slightly shivering. The pale girl silently slipped in with him and wrapped the covers around them. She was almost asleep when she noticed that he had shifted closer to her and let out a happy sigh. She just smiled gently and wrapped an arm around him to share her body heat. As she dozed, a thought came to her before darkness dug its claws into her consciousness.

'What am I doing?'


An Hour Earlier

A humanoid rat traveled through the sewers with his new sons. It had been a few days since the five were mutated and they were coping well... Except when they would find ways to get in trouble. Namely Raphael and Michelangelo. The youngest seemed to always find some way to get on the older's nerves and that caused the human-turned-mutant-rat to have to break up plenty of their fights. The Japanese mutant didn't have much problem with the oldest and second youngest. Mostly because Leonardo tries to calm the other two down and to keep them from going off without the rest of them. Donatello was a very shy but curious terrapin. He would normally look around in fascination and delight, especially when he finds something new. Therefore, the two were no problem to care for.

Though for the family, disaster struck.

The family were traveling the sewers, looking for food. Splinter was in front of the crawling turtle toddlers but occasionally looked back to make sure they were all together. They family of five was nearing an intersection where water was rushing past. The gap wasn't too big so he jumped across since the other side was a bit higher than the tunnel they were in.

"Come along, my sons. I will pull you all over to me," he spoke soothingly. The oldest, Leonardo, was first to approach the ledge and stretched his arms out toward his father. Splinter struggled a bit to grab his hands but succeeded in hoisting him over to his side. Raphael was next and he was a bit harder since he was slightly shorter than Leonardo. Donatello was third and he was most easiest because he was the tallest. The last one, Michelangelo, he knew, was going to be the hardest since the youngest one was so small. The rat reached out his arms for the baby turtle to grab his hands. The baby blue-eyed terrapin reached out his arms as well to reach his father.

"Almost there, Michelangelo," the father encouraged. They were so close to reaching each other, but it was all for naught because almost as soon as the baby turtle touched the tip of Splinter's claw, he slipped into the roaring waters.

"Michelangelo!" Splinter called out in fear. Mikey was unable to answer in his baby garble since he was swept underwater.

The three brothers were all crying out when their baby brother disappeared. They tried to follow but their father held them back.

"We have to find him, quickly!" He said urgently. The male scooped the oldest three into his arms and hurried down the tunnel in the direction the water was flowing. Splinter was quiet as he ran down the dank sewer. When he was about to turn a corner, he heard footsteps splashing in the low level sewage water. His claws scraped across the ground as he turned to hide from the unknown.

When the person came from the see, he was surprised to see a beautiful young girl appear.

'Why is there a human girl down here?' He thought in confusion. The rat hid in the shadows as she walked past him with a small smile on her face. He was puzzled at why a human GIRL would be in the sewers but dismissed the thought when the blonde, from what he could tell, disappeared from sight.

Making sure that he could not see her any longer, the mutated human continued to search for his lost child.

The family of five minus one continued on their search for a few hours. When Yoshi-now-dubbed-Splinter made it to a tunnel where the fast-paced water slowed down significantly, he searched the whole area for his young, freckled son. When he could find no sign of the lost terrapin, he fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face.

"I am sorry, Michelangelo. So sorry..."


The Next Morning

When the teenager awoke 4 hours later, she laid in bed to recollect her memories. She stayed there puzzled as she shifted her sights down to the humanoid turtle that used her bicep as a pillow. She contemplated on how she was going to be able to care for him and do her music performances at the same time. She knew that people would become afraid of the little guy and want for his death. She knew that scientists will want to dissect the strange turtle because of the human-like qualities he shows. She knew all of this because of one fact.

She was a mutant as well.

But before we all get too curious, this blonde girl's name is Chantée. Just Chantée. She was kidnapped at the age of 5. Her parents had died not too long before she was put in an orphanage. Her captors forced her to fight in ninjutsu and a clinically insane, though intelligent, doctor mutated her a year later. At age 10, Chantée escaped. She was in Japan at the time, so she thought; what better way than to guarantee that you will never be found by your enemy?

Therefore, she moved to New York.

Chantée sighed and carefully got out of the bed without disturbing the snoozing, light-green turtle. She made her way to the kitchen and sat at the small table. She whistled twice and waited.

Before long, two white mice were seen darting out of a small mouse hole next to the refrigerator. They swiftly made their way up to the table that she was sitting at. When they did, she could see that one had a black underside while the other has brown.

"Bonjour, Kristen. Christian." (Good morning, Kristen. Christian.) Chantée greeted the two in French. The white and brown mouse greeted back formally while the white and black one did so casually. The former one grew a tick mark and slapped the later for his informality. The two then got into a fight.

Chantée sighed before tapping both on the head hard enough to make them hit the table.

"Calmez-vous, vous deux. Il n'importe pas si vous préférez être formel avec moi ou pas. En plus, il y a quelque chose de plus d'importance maintenant."(Please calm down, you two. It matters not if you prefer to be formal with me or not. Besides, there is something of more importance right now) She chided them gently. The mice perked up at this and questioned her on what it was.

"Il m'est arrivé de tombre sur une tortue dans les égouts hier soir. Il avait été emporté par le courant au cours de la pluie. Ce que je voudrais pour vous de faire pour moi est deveiller sur lui pendant un certain temps que je vais au magasin pour acheter certains éléments pour l'enfant. Cela ne signifie pas que vous êtes la cause une raquette pendant qu'il dort, Christian,"(I happened to stumble upon a turtle in the sewers last night. He had been swept away by the current during the rain. What I would like for you to do for me is to keep watch over him for a while as I go to the store to buy some items for the child. This DOES NOT mean that you cause a racket while he sleeps, Christian,) the blonde gave a pointed stare to the white and black mouse that looked away sheepishly (if mice could actually look sheepish), "Il a besoin de son repos. Donc, allez-vous faire pour moi?"(He needs his rest. So, will you do this for me?) She asked them. Kristen had already agreed before her brother could say anything and proceeded to drag the other by the tail into their master/mother/sister's room. Chantée merely chuckled before getting ready to make a small trip.

'Hmm. I know I should get some foods that I could easily mash. Maybe some fruit as well. I'll need to stock up on more juice anyway so that's no problem. Maybe I should also get some toys and baby blankets for him. *sigh* So much to do.' She thought in resignation. The young girl continued walking through the wet streets of New York City.

When she got to the nearest store that was open 24/7, she got ready to search for everything that she would need for her new resident.
