Raphael's POV

I swear it Mikey mentions another word connected to a 'roach' I will punch him so hard his head will come out where his tail should be. Just two days ago I had to face that abomination of a roach that Donnie had intended to train and use as a spy. The little fellas make me uncomfortable but a flying blob with biological explosives. Now, most would run away screaming from that.

We were at Murakami's shop waiting for a person that I am sure will not show.

"This is stupid Leo we could be out there kicking purple dragons or kraang instead of sitting here."

"We are here for a reason Raph, and she gave us her word."

"And how will you know she haven't called pest control?"

"Hey we are turtles not ro…" Mikey was going into dangerous waters if he finished that word.

"Mention that and I will kick you where the sun doesn't shine."

"That would be his entire body." Don stated.

"Exactly." I said griming evilly. It always worked to some extent with Donnie, Mikey and rare cases Leo.

"She still has 5 minutes, and she gave us her word."

"Yeah right, as if she will walk in here within 5 minutes." The sound of the front door opening startled me and it made Leo turn towards me again.

"You were saying?" Leo said with that smug grim on his face.

"We still don't know if it is her." I said in a huff.

"Excuse me Mr. Murakami sir." Well I be damned, that sounded like the oddball alright.

"Ah evening miss, what can I do for you?" Murakami's accented voice said.

"I wonder if you have seen…. umm or perhaps know where I can find four brothers, Leo, Ralph, Donnie and Mickey." When I heard the miss pronation of my and Mikey's name I suddenly heard Mikey giggle and the moron was smiling with glee.

"What's so funny?" If Mikey was going to make fun of me then he will have another thing coming.

"She called you Ralph." I knew it.

"And she called you Mickey. So bugger off." I snapped back at my baby brother.

"Quiet both of you." Lame-o-nardo commanded in a hushed tone. At times I swear my brother enjoyed bossing us around.

"I apologize. That was an insensitive question to ask."

"For what young one?"

"Because, well because you…"

"Because I am blind?" Murakami stated assuming his handicap was what she referred to.

"Yes. I hope I didn't offend you."

"It is quite alright, I may not have sight but I can help you."

"That would be much appreciated." Her voice answered gladly and I could only assume that Murakami pointed her in the direction of the storage room we had crammed ourselves into. Hopefully she would open that door and let us out because the air circulation in this room was far from great. As footsteps got louder and the door opened and all four of us stumbled and fell upon the floor with the grace of an elephant.

"Took you long enough." I mumbled more to myself than to her.

"Forgive me for keeping you waiting; it took a bit of persuasion to get out of the house." She sat a colorful Psychedelic printed backpack down on the floor and opened it. She pulled out news clips from different morning papers, and also a map of Manhattan.

"I have been looking for strange sightings and if anyone has seen anything out of the ordinary. I haven't run into those 'creatures' again but there have been a lot of thefts of VERY advanced technology."

"Sorry to bust your bubble, but I think we already know who took those things." Why go over something we already knew, and I wouldn't care less if it was the tooth fairy robbing a place. I would still beat the snot out of the crook.

"Raph, would it kill you to be nice?" Oh, here is big brother trying to be the 'responsible one'.

"Well here is the thing Leo; nice will get you nowhere." I said smirking smugly. If I keep pushing it will only be a matter of time before we start fighting, I would gladly wax the floor with his shell but with delicate china and spectators I doubt we would be left alone to rumble.

" Here we go again." Mikey mumbled.

"Are you surprised?" Donnie asked our baby brother, well after 15 years we know each other pretty well.

"No." Mikey answered

"Not really." And much to our surprise the oddball decided to put her two cents in. I'm pretty sure that fearless had a 'deer in the headlights' expression, while Mikey and Donnie just looked startled that a stranger finds our 'aggressive conversations' normal.

"What? They are two males fighting for dominance I see it all the time." She made us sound like a bunch of brutes. Ok I can be a bit of a brute at times. But I am able to control myself…some times.

"Let's just focus ok?" Leo said wanting to get back to being the responsible 'goody too-shoe' he often was.

"Whatever you say fearless."

" What did you find?"

" Like I said before there have been a lot of robberies involving high technological equipment right about here." The girl said pointing towards an area in the southern part of Manhattan. We knew exactly where it was and there was a sewer line that would take us there. So if fearless was being chicken we could always take that route.

"So that is where we are going to look." Leo said with that smirk on his face. Guess I know where we will be spending the next couple of days supervising the Kraang. I hope for my sanity that I can at least beat some of them. Sitting on rooftops waiting for the enemy to appear aren't my cup of tea.

"And how can we be sure that they still have business to attend there if they already have been robbing that part before." I stated. Burglars rarely stuck around the same area. Crooks aren't always idiots and police aren't always smarter.

"We better check it out. If it is true that Kraang is here in this area then we better keep an eye out. We still do not have the skills or weapon to destroy their base. We do not want them to destroy earth and the best way to do that is being a thorn in their side." Leo stated, thank God he didn't start spewing those cheesy lines from that space show of his. Still remember the first day we left the sewers, I doubt that Ishikawa Goemon did something like that. He would have been dead long before if he pulled a "Space Hero" speech or that kind of crap.

"Now that is something I like." I smirked and though of the ways to be a real pain in the butt to our alien nemesis.

"Why am I not surprised?" Donnie stated.

"Because it is Raph dude." Mikey was never good with rhetorical questions or sarcasm.

"Well those things deserve a smack down more than Mikey dose, at times."

"Hey!" Mikey said pouting like the little kid he was.

"Besides we are ninjas we are trained to fight."

"Yes we are NINJAS but we aren't made of steel we need to know what we are up against before we strike. At times I wonder what is going on in that head of yours."

"A lot more action than in yours'. Sitting and talking about what to do is not going to solve anything."

"Rushing into danger won't help either! You are putting yourself in unnecessary danger."

"ENOUGH!" I swear if the voice haven't been so off-key then I could have sworn it was Splinter.

"Stay out of this, it is between fearless and me."

"You already have an enemy to fight against. You are allies, fighting with your companions will only bring more drama." Well it appears the princess has a backbone. Don't know whenever I want to be impressed or to snap it like a twig.

"Hey fighting is a way for us to get our point across." With five males in the family, you can't exactly roll onto you back and surrender, that is not the way Splinter has taught us to be.

"I know, but you can get your point across without fighting." Geesh I hear this daily form Leo and Splinter. Now this complete stranger is lecturing me.

"Now what fun would that be?"

"Just saying, you are wasting time arguing, but don't you want to get to the bottom of those creatures' plan?" She was awfully calm. I wonder if she knows Master Splinter because she is starting to sound like him. But she did have a point I'd rather bust some bots rather than just shout at Leo.

"Yeah, yeah. I get it."

"We thank you for the effort. It is at least a lead." Leo said taking the map and the articles, He smiled at the girl, and she returned it. Her pale teeth was a contrast to her almost copper colored skin.

"You saved me, take it as my way to repay you for your kindness. I just wish I could be of more help."

"Aww no sweat, we save people all the time. It is our job as heroes." Mikey said with that big goofy grim of his.

" Mikey. There is no need to brag." Leo said about to lecture our youngest brother.

"Aren't you the one to talk?" I mumbled, Leo just shot me a glare in a foolish attempt to 'scare' me into submission. It was almost laughable.

" It is late and we need to get back to watching the city." Leo said, he was still annoyed with my mocking earlier.

"I will not keep you from your duty." She said and we exited the shop after making sure that the coast was clear.

"I guess this is where we part, I wish you good luck. Jai Ho." But before she could leave and head back we were interrupted by someone or more correctly something.

"Halt." I knew that voice, and I had been hoping we would run into them

" Finally, you guys just made my night."
