Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
The streets were already dark as she walked towards her destination. Blissfully she ignored the "boys" following her, letting them believe that she didn't know that she knew they were there. There were other things on her mind than her brothers and boyfriend, looking down at her watch.
It was 6:45, still she had time.
Briskly she walked down the street, ignoring the purple dragons around her. The young punks stared at the fake form, not that she gave them a chance as she moved quickly past. Karai had been injured, Jasmine knew that much. She wondered how? The human wasn't weak and never would she let Foot members be killed if there was something she could do. Many theories swirled through her mind, as a breeze shook her to the core. Wrapping the black leather jacket around her tighter, she knew she was nearby.
She wanted answers; she hoped that her human sister could tell her.
He was sitting on the couch, watching a show that was melting his brain cells. His brother next to him was enjoying it…he on the other hand felt like his high IQ just dropped a few…dozen points.
Beside him was Mikey, who was watching the show and eating chips at the same time while making a mess. He sighed, moving out of the way of flying crumbs. His two other brothers were at the moment sparring in the Dojo. Reason why? Jasmine wasn't back yet. After what had happened last time they were over protective, they had decided not to call her and ask where she was. After what they had heard from the recording, they all were a little nervous.
Leo was concerned about it being a trap, that the Foot would surround his love and then kill her. Raph on the other hand, while being concerned for the same reason, was hoping that Karai would show up so he could kick some Kunoichi butt. The hothead held a grudge, for a good reason, against the female for killing three of their own. Mikey, wasn't really concerned, as always he was off in his own world where everything went off without a hitch. He was concerned for many reasons. After taking in all the facts, he came up with three scenarios.
Scenario number one: It was a trap and the Foot attacked with Karai at the lead. They kicked ninja butt and either got away or got captured…one of the two.
Scenario number two: (He thought this one was the most likely to happen) Jasmine found them before they even got to this mysterious DL and did one of two things. She would either yell at them or kick their butts…he hoped it would be the first.
Scenario number, never going to happen, 3: There was no trap or Foot attack and the four of them weren't caught by Jasmine. They had their answer and there was no trouble.
Unfortunately that last one was never going to happen; something was going to happen…
...something always happened
He was right, as the lair door opened and in came their only female member.
"Hey" He said, trying to be casual
What he really wanted to do was ask why the hell she was going to meet Karai? But that would have blown the cover that he and his brothers knew nothing.
"Hey" She replied, but she seemed distracted
Why? He wondered
Her voice caught Mikey's attention, ripping it away from the TV.
"Jasmine, hi!" The youngest said, a little too loudly
He sighed, as he heard the fighting in the Dojo stop. Great Mikey, he thought, you have to bring them into this. They would be lucky if neither if the elder two asked the question that had been going through their minds. Raph had no mouth filter anyway, but Leo on the other hand…But this was Karai they were talking about! The one that had killed other female turtles in the past?
Here they come, he thought, hearing two pairs of feet coming their way.
"Hi Mikey" Jasmine said, before heading towards her room
This made him rise from he seat and follow her, Mikey right behind him. Was she in a rush? They knew Karai had been injured bu Jasmine didn't care...did she? As he went where she had disappeared, then he ran into his elder brothers. The two were standing in front of her, blocking the way she wanted to go.
"What's the rush?" Raph asked
"I am going out" She replied, squeezing past him
"Where?" Leo commented, his voice sounding surprisingly surprised...but it was known that Leo could lie
They all knew where she was going, they were curios what lie she was going feed them though.
"Out" She said smoothly, before closing the door
For a moment, they looked at each other. Well she hadn't lied, doing so by not giving any details. Before they could even move, the door flew back open and she brushed past them. Managing to meet her before she exited the lair, they gasped at her human self.
The black hair and blue eyes were still there, but gone was the white. Her pale skin was now nicely tanned, her white shirt replaced by a black one. Dark jeans covered her legs, black boots on her feet. Covering her arms was a black leather jacket that was well tailored, loose enough to look smooth yet tight enough to show the curves. The only color came from her blue eyes and the silver belt looping around her waist. Around her neck was the turtle they all recognized, her right wrist sporting the scratched bracelet. He left wrist had a simple black watch on it.
"I'll be back soon" She paused and smirked "Try not to get into trouble"
Then she was gone, the doorway empty before any of them could say something.
"You too" He mumbled, as he ventured to his lab
Taking them from the place he had hidden them, he passed out the belts before activating his own. His human self now showing, he grabbed the tracker for her shell cell. A few months ago he had replaced the one without a transmitter with one that he could track. He was 99.9 percent sure that she was unaware of the switch, but it was Jasmine and there was a chance she did know. Turning back to his now human brothers, he nodded his head telling them he was ready. Master Splinter had already, via Leo, been told of their plans. With everything ready, the four of them headed out. They were about to do something they never imagined they would...
...shadow their sister.
The four of them heard the click clock of her boots leading away, before he peeked around the corner. Donatello watched as his sister's form walk away from them.
"Well?" Raph asked impatiently
"Clear" He replied, before walking slowly down the street in the same direction
Beside him was Leo, who kept his eyes glued to her. The blue bandanna was the best at predicting moments, he watched to warn them if she was about to move. But they all knew that he was watching her only for their mission...no other reason, yeah right.
Sticking nearby to the shadows in case they needed to disappear quickly, he wondered what she was doing...before he could voice the question, his hothead brother did
"We are in deep PD territory, what is she doing?" Raph asked, although no one knew the answer
"Who knows?" Mikey muttered, as the four of them followed her black back
"She's stopping" Leo said, as they tensed to move into the shadows
They watched as Jasmine moved towards a building. It was as old as the others around it, the only difference was there was a black symbol over the door. It said DL, with a purple dragon intertwine. Other than that, there were about 10 purple dragons around the entrance all their eyes on her frame. Sneaking closer, they listened to the hushed tones of the punks as the only female approached the guy leaning right next to the door.
"Password?" They heard the man ask
His bald head was covered by a purple dragons tattoo, his muscles sticking through the to big black t-shirt he wore.
Without hesitation she replied "Four as one, one standing tall"
The man eyed her, before bringing his fist back to punch her. Quickly she dodged, before doing something they never expected her to do...
"What the fuck?" She said
They went into shock, did she really just...never had they heard such words come from her mouth.
"Great going Raph" Mikey muttered, his voice quite enough so that the humans were unable to hear
"What did I do?" The hothead asked
"Where the hell else would she learn that?" Mikey replied
"Shut up" Raph growled
"We can discuss Raph's mouth later, just focus on the mission " Leo silenced the two, their attention turning back to the situation at hand
"You were wrong" The man replied, taking a step towards her
As if those were the magic words, the other PDs stood up and glared at her. Pulling a chain from his pocket, the main man stood at the head of the street group.
"Like hell, that's the wrong password" They heard Jasmine growl
The man didn't reply, only flick his fingers forward. From that signal, the purple dragon lackeys surrounded her. He looked back to Leo, wondering what they were going to do. Was she in trouble? He didn't think so, she could handle 11 street idiots.
"Trust me..." She paused, raising her head to smile at them "...you don't want to do this"
The dragons didn't reply as the first attack was delivered, by her. A punch to the jaw, one went down. The others stared, before another attack came. A kick to the chest, slamming another to the brick building. Two down, about to be three. Throwing her knee into his stomach, Jasmine threw a punch before allowing the punk to sink to the ground. Most of the human males backed up, but a brave one tried to land a punch. A smile on her face, she dodged his punches before unleashing her own attack. Punch after punch hit dead center on his face, then a kick to the chest threw him to the ground. Everyone thought he was done, but still the punk rose to his feet, holding his fists up.
"Ready?" She hissed, doing the same with her own fist
The boy nodded, then went to the ground a moment later.
Everyone was in shock.
She had twisted her body, slamming her high heel boot into his jaw. Blood dripping from his mouth, the boy was knocked out and he wasn't getting up. Both feet back on the ground, she glared at the remaining 7 males.
"I'm outta here!" One of the purple dragons yelled, before taking off
The others followed him, except for one...The one that was at the lead. Twirling the chain in his hand, he glared at her. About to attack, a shout rang out. It was more like a roar, the voice that delivered it low and rough.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?"
Both Jasmine and the man turned to see a man come through the door. He growled, moving the purple bandanna out of him face. His brothers looked the same way, their faces hardening in anger...
"Um..." The bald man sputtered at the giant in front of him
Again the four turtles were shocked by her actions.
"Hun, what's up?" She said, as casual as a person would say to a friend
The leader of the purple dragons turned to look at her, before a smile came to his face.
"It's been a while Jazz" The big man replied
"Yeah well business kept me away" She shrugged
Wait, he thought, she's friends with HUN? The same guy she threw into a wall? Okay he was officially confused now...
"What the hell..." Raph whispered, making sure they weren't found out
"Jazz?" Mikey said, raising an eye ridge
What was up with the name? Another cover identity?
"Shut up you two" Don said, trying to figure out what was going on
"What's the problem?" Hun asked, turning to the other man
"She..." The man began
"I gave him the password, then the retard said that it was wrong" Jasmine interrupted, the irritation showing through her voice
"Idiot, she's on the VIP list" The giant yelled, before punching the man to the ground
"I didn't know" The man tried to explain
"Well now you do!" Hun snarled
"You changed the password?" Jasmine asked recapturing his attention
"Yeah, it seemed time for a change" The human replied
"So-sorry for the mis-mistake" The other man mumbled
She turned to the bald man and with a smile on his face said "No problem, just get some better guards…they were to easy" She motioned towards the four punks she had taken out earlier.
The man put on a weak smile, although he was still shaking.
"You attacked her?" Hun hissed, turning to tower over the man
The four turtles were shocked, was that concern they heard in his voice? Hun was concerned for a turtle…what the hell?
"Chill, it was a good workout" She said, putting herself between the two
"Fine" Hun growled, glaring at the man
"Is Karai here?" She asked
"Yes" The big man replied, opening the door
"I have some guests with me" Jasmine said coolly
Hun said nothing, raising an eye brow. In the shadows, Don wondered what he meant…in till it hit him
Please don't mean us! She couldn't have found out could she?
"We are dead!" Mikey whispered
"It might not be us" Leo said, trying to stay calm
"Leon, come out and bring the others" She said, looking straight into the shadows where they were
"Leon?" Mikey snickered
"I think she means you Leo" Raph muttered
"She means all of us" Don corrected
Leo walked out of their hiding place, the rest of them following right behind. Looking into her blue eyes, Leo hoped that she wasn't mad. She didn't look mad, but looks can deceive.
"This is Leon, Ray, Dominic, and Mickey" She said, pointing to each of them in turn
"Make sure they know the rules" Hun said, glaring at each of them in turn
"Nice to meet you too" Raph growled, returning the glare from behind his long black hair
"Don't worry, I'll kill them if they try anything" Jasmine replied, they all felt a shiver run up their spine at the word…kill.
"Karai is waiting for you in the back" The big man added
"Nice seeing you again" She said, before making her way inside the door.
The four male turtles followed, going only a few feet before she turned to face them. They froze, here come the yelling they thought.
"Keep out of trouble, I will be back soon." She said, before starting to turn to leave them
"But…" Mikey began to say
"Mickey, if you move from this spot I will personally burn your comic books" She growled, before walking away
The youngest took a step back, his eyes wide. The blond hair on his head shook slightly at the threat.
"Better listen to her, Mickey" Don snickered at the under cover name
"What do you mean Dominic?" Mikey shot back
"Look where she's moving" Raph said to Leo ignoring the other two that were fighting
Their female counterpart was moving through the people towards the back corner of the room. The room was a regular looking bar, there was little lighting making it a dark place. Cigarette smoke floated through the air, coming from the numerous dragons smoking while playing cards. The only color showing was the many TVs blasting different channels, bring artificial to the dingy room. Ragged tables covered the floor, only a few chairs around each. The only nice thing seemed to be the bar which spanned an entire wall. Already most of the seats by it were taken by purple dragons and their female companions.
"You go, I'll watch them" Leo said, meaning that he would babysit the younger brothers
"Be back in a moment, Leon" Raph dragged out the last word, chuckling
"Whatever you say, Ray" The blue bandanna shot back
Rolling his eyes, the hothead began to move back towards the corner. After a moment he found that he had lost her. Damn he thought, taking a place at the bar. When asked if he wanted anything he just waved the bartender off, wasn't like he had any money. Beside the last thing to do was to get wasted and become a liability to his brothers.
He sighed before looking in the crowd for his sister.
"What are we doing here?" Alice asked, looking around the dark room
"Looking for information about her" Tori replied, moving her red hair out of her eyes
The pink bandanna looked at her sisters, or their human versions.
Tori was wearing a low cut black shirt that said in red cursive Too hot for you over her bust. Bleached jeans that were ripped at the knees covered her legs, converse on her feet. Her hair was pulled up into a loose pony tail, which was why it kept falling in her face. Already she had been approached by a few men, all of them running away from her rage.
Simone was dressed more shyly than the eldest. She was in a purple shirt that had silver flowers going up the side. Dark jeans covered her legs, with purple flip flops on her feet. Her brown hair was pulled back into a bun, showing her green eyes clearly.
She was dressed the funnest, in her opinion, out of the three of them. Wearing a pink tank top and shorts that were covered in drawings, she was definitely shining the brightest. Orange flip flops on her feet, she tapped them in irritation that Tori had brought them to this nasty bar.
Before she could say something, her eldest sister said "Split up and talk to the locals" before disappearing in the crowd
"You going to be okay?" Simone asked, squeezing her hand
She smiled, she had always been close to Simone. They were the younger sister, the other knowing how she felt.
"Of course" She replied, in her bubbly tone
"Call me if you need me" The gray bandanna said before weaving through the crowd
Alice turned and started working on her task. Okay! she thought, time to get to work. Taking a few steps, she scanned the crowd. Focusing on each face, she tried to pick out the one she had seen a day before. The only faces she saw was those of dark people, no light skinned girl in sight.
"Hey baby" A voice said from behind her
She turned to see a man, his dark face grinning at her in a way. The pink bandanna ignored him, starting to walk away. A hand grabbed her, it was him.
"Don't be like that" He whispered in her ear
She tried to speak, to yell but nothing came from her mouth. Desperately she scanned the crowd for Simone, she need her sisters. Help! she screamed internally. His other hand started to snake around her waist.
"No" She hissed, before yanking free
She started to run, just to get away. She had to find them, she need to know they were there. Alice only saw the dark faces of the human around her. Still she made her way through the crowd. Then she ran into someone, falling to the ground.
"Hey, you okay dudette?"
Looking up into light blue eyes, she saw the voice belonged to a man. Actually it was more like a boy, his blond hair sticking up in a childish way. He offered his hand and she took it, allowing herself to be pulled up.
"I'm fine" She mumbled, trying to get ride of the panic she had felt earlier
"I didn't mean to knock you down, sorry" The guy said, looking guilty and concerned at the same time
She looked up from where she had been looking, which had been the ground, back into his eyes.
"No, I was the one not paying attention" She quickly said, there was no reason for him to feel bad...she was the one that had freaked out instead of punching the other guy. She waited for him to respond, but he didn't. He was just staring at her.
"Do you have a map?" He said suddenly
"No, why?" She replied, slightly curios about the question
"I got lost in your eyes" He answered
She giggled, that was such a cheesy line but yet so romantic! Was he flirting with her?
"Alice" She said, holding out her hand
"What?" He asked, looking at her hand like it was going to bite
"I telling you my name silly!" She replied
"Oh! My names Mikey err I mean Mickey!" The man, that she now knew as Mikey (or was it Mickey?), said a sparkle in his eye
"Which is it?" She asked, seeing embarrassment creep up to his cheeks in a form of him blushing
"Mikey, but my crazy sister calls me Mickey" Mikey replied, rolling his eyes
The two kept talking unaware that people watched them from all sides. Neither cared, their conversation blossoming.
A touch can change everything.
It can cause fights, people to yell and scream. A touch can bring two together, true love taking over from there. A slight brush of the elbow or a head on run in, it's still a touch. A touch can tear people apart, but it can also bring back together people who had been apart for years.
This touch, this run in that just happened was going to do just that...bring back together people, well turtles. Bring back together a family that had been torn apart, let them become one once more.
That touch, had changed everything...
...for everyone.
