Iori gasped and nearly dropped her locator. The dot on the screen was moving, and moving fast. She knew exactly what it was from the color code, and she wasted no time rushing in her room for her bag and a change of clothes. Mikey, Donnie, and Raph stood up alert, ready for action. Iori came out as quickly as she went in, fumbling with her black hoodie and putting on her duffel bag, now transformed into a one strap backpack. She was about to zip out of the lair, but Raph got in her way.
"Where do you think you're going?" Iori mumbled and try to work her way around him, but he wouldn't budge. "Move, Raph, I need to go!" Iori raised her voice, making Raph step back. She never raised her voice, especially at him. Iori took his reaction as an opportunity to pass him, but Raph grabbed her. She started squirming,"Raph I swear to God get off of me!" Her yelling got louder. At this point she might've disturbed Master Splinter and Leo from their meditation.
Raph shook her, "What is wrong with you? It's too dangerous to go up on the surface at this time of night!" "Raph." Mikey and Donnie looked over with caution. Iori shook herself out of his tight grasp, her pupils fading from normal to slit irises. Raph felt her pulse quicken; something was freaking her out and he didn't know what it was. She switched from relaxed to anxious in such a short time; in all honesty it made Raph unsettled.
"Please I need to go, she needs me!" She? Raph's brow furrowed. Iori continued to plead, eventually making Mikey go to her side, "Come on Raph, we need to let her find her friend, she might be lost!" Donnie pushed up his glasses, "I agree with Mikey. We should let her go and she will return as fast as possible." "Yeah but who's gonna tell Leo and Splinter? We can't just have her walk out in the middle of the night and have her come back with someone, or something," he turned to Iori, "If you're gonna go you need someone to go with you." She nodded quickly and turned around to walk off, but this time Mikey and Donnie got in her way. "I'm coming with you; I don't want to be cooped up in a silent lair." Mikey pouted. "I don't want to miss out on the action either." Said Donnie. Iori smiled at all three of them, then proceeded to be picked up by Raph to travel faster. "Not the transportation I had in mind, but I'll take it." She murmured. Raph had heard her and smirked to himself before speeding out the lair, his brothers tailing behind him.
They raced throughout the tunnels and holes of the sewer lines, finally popping open a hatch and jumping out. It was a little chilly out, so Iori clenched her hoodie. "Alright Raph, put me down. We have to follow the indicator's location." He put her down and she showed the three turtles the locator. It was on a grid with certain shades of greens here and there, and one purple dot at the far right of the screen. "Okay, this is our location now," she pointed to a shaded black area, "Now according to the locator she's about 4 miles from here on the Northwest point. Donnie, do you know where that might lead?" Donnie took the locator and examined the screen, "Well judging by the distance and the exact pinpoint, I believe this "she" is located somewhere around the Northwest side of Manhattan." "Wait wait wait, who exactly are we looking for?" Mikey interjected.
Iori looked at them all, realizing she could put them in danger for finding someone they don't even know. It wouldn't be right to do; especially after all they've done for her. "We're looking for someone important. She means a lot to me and I never realized she would come here. I promise she means no harm. If she does try to attack you though, I will be the one to knock her out. Now let's go."
There was no argument after that. The four followed the locator and jumped over rooftops, Iori running next to Donnie. They searched in alleys as they came closer to the spot. Iori's head spun in every direction trying to find the person, looking around every which way.
When they finally reached the destination, Iori wasted no time searching high and low for her in an alley. The turtles helped too, searching on top of rooftops and on streets close to the location. Iori took off her backpack and placed it on the ground, rummaging to find a scanner. She eventually found it and scanned the entire location for information. Her friend was here, but now she's not present.
Iori sighed in frustration, "She's not here." The turtles came down from their spots, seeing Iori run a hand through her curls. "She was here but now she's not. Where the hell…" She continued to mumble to herself, pacing back and forth. Mikey placed a comforting hand on Iori's shoulder, "Don't worry angel cakes, I'm sure she probably had to use the bathroom or something." "In an alley?" He shrugged, "When you gotta go you gotta go." Iori chuckled. He gave her a toothy grin before Raph sat himself on a dumpster.
"So you mean she might've run off?" He asked. Donnie cleaned his glasses and sighed, "She might've, but she couldn't have gone far. Iori's locator says she's still in the area." "If she doesn't know I'm looking for her then she must be looking for me." Iori gave a groan and kicked a can. Jesus, why was she such an asshole sometimes. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Mikey piped up, "Well we didn't find her now, so I think we should hurry and leave before Splinter puts us all in the Hashi." They turned around to head home, Iori sighed and putting her locator and scanner back in her bag and put it on. "I wonder where on Earth she went."
"Well damn you gave up on me that quickly? Rude."
All four froze and turned around. They looked up to see a young woman in her early twenties, ebony skin a shade lighter than Iori's with a light brown, curly mass of hair sitting on a rail ladder. She hopped off and landed on her feet, blowing the few stray curls out of her face.
Iori's eyes widened. The woman looked and smirked, "I was wondering who was following me." Iori wasted no time running up to her and giving her a tight bear hug, making the woman laugh and hug back. They stayed this way for a few moments, then beginning to speak in their own language before turning to the turtles. "Guys," Iori practically beamed, "this is my very good friend Hanastanni, but we can call her Hatchi for short." Hatchi stepped up to the boys, "Huh…I didn't know Reptillians were accepted on Earth now, what an improvement." "Not this again…" Mikey whispered and Raph smacked him on the back of the head. Hatchi watched this and laughed, "I heard you boys have been taking care of my friend, I can't thank you enough for that."
"It was no problem, Miss Hatchi. Allow me to introduce ourselves," Donnie said, "My name is Donatello, my brother in orange is Michelangelo, and my brother in red is Raphael. But please, call us Donnie, Mikey, and Raph if you'd like." "Nice to meet you. To be honest I was a little worried; Iori's locator wasn't responding to my calls, and all I knew was that she was on planet Earth. Well don't worry, I'm not here to hurt anybody, I just wanted to check on Iori to see if she was alright."
She turned to Iori, "I'm so glad you are though, I guess I forgot the signal out here is so damn slow." "Yeah you can say that." Iori chuckled. "First Iori and now Hatchi, it looks like we have two alien babes with us. I'm the luckiest turtle on Earth!" He winked at Hatchi, making her laugh. Raph growled at him, and Donnie cleared his throat. "Hatchi do you have a place to stay?" Iori asked. "Of course I do. My last visit on Earth I bought out a nice little suite for me to come back to in case I ever did. It's right about a few blocks from here." Iori looked shocked,
"You never told me you've visited Earth before." She looked, "Hm, oh yeah I visited a year ago. You weren't around for me to tell you so I kept it to myself." It made sense so Iori didn't ask more questions. This time Raph spoke up, "I think we should get back to the lair before Leo blows a gasket." he turned to Hatchi, "You're coming too; might as well show them why we left the lair after night watch." She didn't have any problem with it, and they were off.
Now how were they going to explain this to Leo and Splinter…?
~ / ~
Well there you go! So now that Hatchi's in the picture, we might just see Iori do more traveling in the city. Oh yeah another best friend! Will she be a love interest with somebody else? I don't know I haven't thought that far. Anyways thank you for reading and don't forget to leave reviews!
Toodles~
