The song is "Lovely Ladies" from Les Miserables. Enjoy!

In the dusty streets of New York, a small, dark figure hurried along, head down. She had the look of someone who was afraid; as if she had no-where to go, but anywhere was better than here. Her blue eyes peeked out fearfully from under unruly blonde hair.

For a moment she stopped, peering round as if to check that no-one was following her. She shivered slightly and hastened on, shoving her hands deep into her pockets.

An old man browsing in a newspaper shop tore his eyes away from the adults-only section to watch her. He saw her cower away from the wandering hands of a drunken man, finally sprinting into an alleyway to get away from him.

The man smiled and dropped today's edition of Playboy back on the shelf. He knew this part of the city well, and right now was finding two pieces of information especially useful: the fact that the police never came here, and the fact that that particular alley was a dead end.

In the alleyway, the girl smiled to herself, baring sharp fangs. She'd seen the old man cross the road to get to her, and knew exactly what he wanted. She'd seen that look a thousand times over the past year, and she knew where it could lead.

For a moment, animal rage poured through her at the thought of what he planned to do. Her claws slid out, but she clenched her fists and hummed a song she'd always liked, to calm herself. Lovely ladies, waiting for a bite. She had to stay human, or this wouldn't work.

She shook herself slightly and resumed her innocent-maiden act. Just as well they never see the HATE that's in your head.

The man's shadow appeared at the entrance to the alley. She made her eyes look wide and adorable, giving him one last chance to walk away. If he didn't… She would teach him a lesson. Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?

The turtles bounded over the city rooftops. Don had patched Mikey's arm up perfectly, although it had taken a few days to heal. Leo had only let him come out with them on the proviso that he stayed away from any really bad fights.

Raph sighed. The Purple Dragons had been making so much trouble recently that even he'd started to miss just running for the sake of it. Even that wolf thing ain't shown up recently. Looks like we might finally be in for a quiet night tonight.

"Psycho bitch!"

I spoke too soon. Without a word, the turtles stopped and crouched on the roof of an old bistro. An old man stumbled out of an alleyway, cursing violently. Even from five floors up, the brothers could see the blood streaming from deep gashes in his neck. Ouch.

The turtles drew their weapons and peered into the alleyway that he had come out of. They could dimly see a dark figure standing around idly. Whoever it was didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry. Great. We can kick his butt and get outta here before the cops show up.

Perfectly synchronised, the brothers leapt from their vantage point and lunged at the form. Raph pounced on the shape, sai aimed straight for his head – and fell through empty air, to hit the floor with a thud. Hey, where'd he go?

From somewhere behind him, he heard a noise – an angry hiss that turned halfway through into a cry of outrage.

"Oi! Didn't anyone teach you it's rude to try and sneak up on people?"

Raph leapt to his feet and spun around to see a familiar blonde girl crouched on a dumpster. An annoyed-looking familiar blonde girl.

"You!" he yelled without really thinking. The girl blinked and folded her arms.

"Me? Really? I had no idea!" Sarcasm. I guess that's fair, we did try to jump her. Still…

"What did you do to that old man we saw?" asked Leo.

"What's it look like I did?" Raph stared hard at the girl, and she stared hard back.

"He was just some poor old man." protested Don. Albeit a poor old man with a serious potty mouth. The girl leapt angrily down from the dumpster to face them. She was a few inches shorter than them, but with her long claws dripping with blood, she was still an impressive sight.

"Oh sure," she said, voice rising. "Just some poor old man who followed me into an alley and tried to pull my top up!"

Oh…

There was a silence as the turtles realised their mistake. Every time I assume something with this kid, she proves me wrong. The girl stared at them hard for a second, and then… shrugged. In an instant, all her aggression seemed to drift away. She bent down and picked up three empty beer cans from the ground, before placing them upright, side by side.

Raph watched her in mild confusion, feeling distinctly embarrassed. "Are ya sure he was gonna…" his voice trailed off.

The girl's soft blue eyes met his. "Yup," she said, "I've done that a thousand times." She scooped up three pebbles, leapt up onto a fire escape above her head and sat on the rail, legs swinging.

Leo frowned. "You mean you planned this?"

The girl nodded. "Ever heard of a honey trap?"

Nope. Raph looked at Don for explanation. His brother looked thoughtful. "A honey trap is when you pretend to offer someone something they want… and in doing so, make them confess to a crime. It's what cops sometimes do to get evidence." He looked up at the blonde girl with confusion in his eyes. "So you…"

"If they try it with me, they'll try it with others who can't defend themselves." The girl's tone was surprisingly nonchalant. She tossed a pebble at the cans in a surprisingly boyish gesture, knocking one over with a clang. She looked up at them and gave a small smile. "So I… teach them not to." Clang.

Mikey scratched his head. "You're weird." He said.

"Thanks." Clang.

" That wasn't a compli-"
"Shh!"

The girl froze, eyes unfocused, clearly listening hard. Raph strained his ears – or at least I would if I had any – but heard nothing. They waited. Suddenly the girl leapt to her feet and sprang onto the roof.

Raph peered after her. "Hey, where are ya-"
"Come on!"

The four brothers looked at each other in confusion.

"Do we go after her?" asked Mikey

"We ain't gonna find out what's goin' on any other way." stated Raph.

Leo looked doubtful. "It could be nothing." He said, "I didn't hear any-"
"AAAAAGH!"

The turtles looked up at the sound of a girl's high-pitched scream.

"Heard enough yet, fearless?" bellowed Raph as they darted into the night.

Please review… If you don't get it, just ask and I'll try to explain.
