Sorry It took me so long to post this chapter. I'm suffering from writers block. If any one has any info I could use for my story please let me know.

If I had to sum up, in one word, how I felt as Leo led me to wherever it was that I was going to explain myself, it would be; nervous. The only thing I could think to tell them would be the truth. Minus the fact that I already knew a lot about them. Although one thing that bothered me a little was why were they acting this way? If they thought I was with the Foot then why bring me to their home? And Raph; why did he seem to trust me already? Wasn't he the family hard head? In practically everything I heard/read about him his trust was the hardest to earn. I didn't dwell on these thoughts for long because I was trying to figure out how to phrase everything so, hopefully, it wouldn't sound too bizarre even to these guys. So far; no dice.

"I see my son has an admirer." A wise voice said snapping me out of my thoughts and causing me to blush. After some of the snickering had quieted Splinter spoke again. "If you would like you may remove the mask you are wearing." I had to make it look like I wasn't ecstatic to comply.

Once I took off Raph's mask and saw them for real I was, honestly, a little confused. Splinter seemed to be the only one who lived up to the standards of the TV series, except real of course. The guys had the basics covered, it was the details that threw me. Leo seemed to almost have an emerald skin tone with hard hazel eyes that were obviously sizing me up. But he didn't seem as serious or paranoid as I expected. Raph was always my favorite turtle, no offence to the others, I guess it's because of the bad boy vibe he just seems to give off. No wonder him and Space Case get along. He had the darkest skin tone out of his brothers and was the biggest just by muscle mass. His eyes were a deep amber that where complemented by the red of his mask. Don was almost a light gray-green and his chocolate brown eyes held a spark of curiosity, most likely to my calm reaction to seeing them. Mikey was the only one with blue eyes and I just knew he had a mischievous streak a mile wide and he used those baby blues on his brothers.

"See something you like?" Mikey asked teasing.

"Not sure yet." I replied playfully. Then I noticed what had been bothering me. They didn't have a single scar. Don's hands, I noticed, weren't as callused as I expected from all the experiments he did or from welding his choice of weapon. Raph's plastron was smooth and free from any nicks that he should have had from all the fights he'd been in. I nearly commented on this but instead made myself ask "How old are you guys?"

They obviously weren't expecting me to ask that. "Fifteen." Leo stated, slightly confused.

That explains it. Most of their adventures that I've heard of didn't start until they were sixteen.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"You're sitting in the same room as four mutated humanoid turtles and you're ok with it?"

"Yeah. I mean why wouldn't I be?"

That surprised them. "Uh, are you blind?"

"I can see just fine shell head." Fortunately they just thought that the "shell head" comment was me acknowledging the fact that they were turtles.

"Then why aren't you screaming or freaking out or something?" Mikey asked.

"Why would I? I'm not scared of you guys." I admitted.

"You're not?"

"The only thing intimidating about you guys are the weapons that you have, and I'm pretty sure you know how to use them."

"So, you're not in shock?" Don asked.

"Not really. If anything I'm probably more awed than anything."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Honestly you guys look more like the heroes in a sci-fi movie. No offence."

"None taken, Dudette."
