Night lit up some candles for the night. Tonight was the night where Mikey was going to come to her apartment room where she lives in. She placed some food she just got forty-five minutes ago. Since she didn't know what Mikey liked she got a small pizza, which she heated up just a minute ago in the small kitchen area down the hall from the room she was sleeping at. She was nervous. What if he didn't accept her for what she truly was? Sure he might not be surprise since he is a mutant turtle, but would he handle her? She made sure the bedroom was neatly tide up, which wasn't hard since she didn't really do anything to make a mess of the old room. She jumped when she heard knocking on the wall. Looking towards the window she spotted Mikey. She gave a happy sigh. He actually showed up! But what if he doesn't like what I am? Night waved at him to come in. He complied the silent order and walked into the room. His gaze swept across the room before settling on her. Night needed to greet her guest.

"Welcome Mikey. As I told you before you can call me Night. I am sorry if I had intruded on you and your brothers' like that. I didn't mean to spy two nights ago; it's just that I was fascinated by you four and was curious. You jumped on the roof I was on so I had to hide, and while doing so I learned your name; as well as your brothers' names." Night tried to explain. "I understand that people might be scared of you, but you fascinate me. Probably has to do with what I am."

Mikey tilted his head. "What do you mean by what you are?"

"I'll show you later. Let's get to know each other first." Night fixed up her cloak to make sure nothing of her was showing. Mikey nodded.

"I guess I'll start. My full name is Michelangelo. Mikey is my nickname. When my brothers and I were younger, we were regular store turtles. A boy bought us and took us out of the store in our cage. While he was waiting to cross the road; a blind man was walking across and was about to get run over. A man pushed the boy holding us away and saved the blind man; except the boy dropped us and our caged broke. We fell in a sewer drain followed by a canister of some weird green ooze. The canister broke on contact of the sewer floor and my brothers and I got the stuff on us. A rat from Japan found us and took us to a den to sleep in. The next day, me and my brothers have grown and developed human-like characteristics. So did the rat. Later on, the rat became our father, Master Splinter, and taught us the ways of ninjutsu. Ever since then me and my brothers have been living happily in our lair. We made some new enemies, but who doesn't. The black ninjas you saw last night were the foot. Their leader is one of our major enemy known as the Shredder." Night listened to Mikey's story of his past and present.

"What about your brothers?"

"The oldest is Leonardo. His nickname is Leo. His weapons are the Katanna Blades. He is our leader and the best eldest brother ever. He is protective of us and is the most skilled in ninjutsu. He strains himself really hard to make sure we never get hurt or worse. He is like our body and bones. He supports us and does everything he can to make sure nothing bad would happen. The second eldest is Raphael or just Raph. His weapons are twin Sais. He is the second in command and is also protective of us; but mostly me and my other brother since he knows Leo is strong enough to take care of himself and we are the youngest. He has a huge temper and can get angry at even the smallest thing. I like to hang out with him the most though. We have different connections with each other, but I feel a stronger connection with Raph than my other two brothers. If Leo is our body and bones, then Raph is our muscles. He is the strongest out of all of us. He's even stronger than all of us combined probably. Donatello, or as we call him Don or Donnie, is the brother that is after Raph. He is our scientist and our doctor. He is very peaceful and doesn't like the idea of fighting and for this reason he has the Bo Staff as a weapon. He is our brain. He is the smartest turtle I have ever known and he makes these cool do-hickys that are really awesome. Then there is me. My weapons are the Nunchucks. I am the fastest out of all of my brothers and the most agile. I have a very athletic turtle body. My master says I can surpass all of my brothers because I hold much skill; but I don't think that is really true. I am the goofiest and most handsomest. I love pranks, videogames, TV and comic books." Mikey then looked down. "I don't know what part of our family I am though. Master Splinter is our wisdom, Leo is our body and bones, Raph is our muscle and Don is our brain. I don't know what I am though. Once and a while I think that maybe I just don't have a spot in the family except the big, irresponsible baby brother."

Night placed a hand on his shoulder. "Everyone has an important place in the family. You believe you do not, though you do. From the way you describe you and your family, I think that you are the heart. I sense a pureness inside of you that I did not sense in the others. You are childish and that is a good thing because every family needs that one person who will seem like they will never grow up. A family needs the childish person."

"Are you the childish person in your family?"

Night looked down and felt her heart stop for a couple of seconds. "I wouldn't know. My family…is gone."

"I'm sorry." Mikey thought about hugging her, but since they just met and is still trying to get to know each other, he thought it would be best not too.

"I should tell you my story now. I don't have a name. I think I did a long time ago. Now, I just call myself Night. I don't remember much about my past so I will tell from as far as I can remember. I was a prisoner in a facility of some kind. Guards were everywhere and so were scientists. They did tests on me, but never did dissection. I was kept in a dark room that had a small bed, food and water dishes, newspapers in a corner if I had to go, and a poster of New York."

"Why would they do those things to you if you are a regular human like them?" Mikey was confused at what was being said to him.

"I am different. Like you. You can say that I am not human, but have human-like characteristics." Night turned and walked to the bed. She sat at the edge and watched as Michelangelo thought about it for a minute.

Mikey looked at her with more interest. "You're a mutant too!"

"Yes. Every time I got free-time in my room, I would practice some fighting techniques and do a little gymnastics. Two nights ago, I managed to escape the thousands of guards and scientists and exited out of the facility where they kept me. I ran through a small forested area and made it to the edge of New York. I went to the rooftops where I could be safe from human sight. I heard sounds of fighting and found you four fighting against these bad humans with dragons tattoos on them."

"They are people from another group that is our enemy. They call themselves Purple Dragons. We had tougher threats from old ladies though. The Purple Dragons are nothing." Mikey let out a small chuckle. He heard Night laughing too. Now that he learned that there was another mutant, he was curious of what she looked like and why she was still hiding herself from him. "What do you look like? You can see that I'm a turtle with blue eyes. What about you?"

Night's hidden eyes looked at Mikey. She was about ready to take her cloak off before she heard sounds of yelling. It was faint, but the type of mutant she is made it easier to make out the sounds of three different voices calling out for someone. She recognized the voices after a while. "I hear your brothers. They are at least three blocks away. You should hear them but it seems they are keeping their voices low. You better go now." Night lightly pushed Mikey towards the window.

"Come on. It's not every day I get to meet a mutant dudette!" Mikey whined as he crawled out of the window. "I'll be back tomorrow night."

"Okay. Oh, wait. I forgot." Night went towards the dresser and opened a box. She checked it and it was still warm. She gave Mikey the box. "Here, I was going to get it out for us to share but times flies by."

Mikey looked at the box. "Pizza? How did you know that this turtle loves his pizza?"

Night laughed. "I didn't. I just picked out something small and filling." She looked in the direction of where the sounds of soft yelling were coming from. "Did you even tell your family that you were going to be gone for a while?"

"What's the fun in that?!"

"True. Goodbye Michelangelo."

"Goodbye Night." Mikey jumped onto the roof and ran towards his brothers. Leo gave him a lecture, Raph gave him a punch and a noogie, Don gave him a hug and started lecturing him as well.

Night went back to the bed to lay down. She thought for a minute before getting back up and took off her cloak. She looked at her hand. It was so human-like, yet it could be used for killing and fighting. She looked at the rest of her features and sighed. She curled up in her bed and fell asleep once the sun started to rise up, making the stars that could be seen vanish with the darkness of the night.

If you are going to review then I suggest adding in about what you think Night is. Is she a mutant turtle as well, or a cow, or a mountain lion. What do you think Night is? Review and the next chapter might come out sooner.
