Hello everyone, it's time for another chapter. Remember, I do not own TMNT, but I do have a plan. However I do own my OC's, so NO stealing. Anywho, on with the chapter.
Cade's P.O.V.
My eyes flutter open to an unfamiliar room. My back is stiff and my arm is killing me. Sitting up, I look around the room. It's filled with old pizza boxes, videogames, and comics. That's when it hits me. The day had begun like any other, a fight with my dad. I ran out of the house and headed to the park. That was the one place that had always made me feel better. There, I sat for about an hour. That's when a random girl named Lizzy came up to me and started talking to me. I freaked out on her, but I felt bad and apologized to her. After that I quickly left and walked around NYC for some time. During my walk, I decided that enough was enough and I had to get away from him. Luckily when I got home, he wasn't there. I quickly packed a bag, but when I was about to leave he showed up with a gun. He shot it off once and I booked it out my window, down the fire escape, and into the alley. I ran as far as I could, but the bullet still managed to graze my arm. Soon, I found myself cornered with my dad cornering me. I was sure it was going to be the end, but then the turtle showed up. The turtle. The one who saved my life. My hero. Raphael was his name. He then kicked my dad's sorry ass. He saw I was hurt and brought me to his home where his brother, Donnie, fixed my arm. His family, which included that girl Lizzy, seemed nice, but I haven't met their father yet. Hopefully he'll like me. Now, I was sitting on their couch-thing. That's when I begin to hear grunting.
"What the?" I whisper to myself. I stand up and begin to follow the noise. Walking down the hall, I soon find the room the noise is coming. As I peek into the room, I notice that it was fairly big with a huge bonsai tree in the middle. Parts of the walls are lined with weapons and the ground is covered in multiple rugs. My eyes then travel to the middle of the room where two of the turtles were fighting. One was wearing a blue mask, which meant that it was Leonardo, and the other was wearing a red mask, which meant it was Raph. They advanced at each other with their weapons at hand. Leonardo sliced at Raph with his katana, but he blocked it easily. Raph then made his move. He began to gab his sais toward Leonardo, but he only blocked his attack. Raph took this time to fling the katana out of Leonardo's hands. He then tried to kick him, but Leonardo grabbed his ankle and slammed him into the wall. Raph quickly recovered and swept his legs, knocking him to the ground. Raph got up and pointed one of his sais towards Leonardo, ending the fight. I was so wrapped in in watching the fight I didn't even hear the person come up from behind me.
"Good morning Cade," a female voice chimed from behind. I let out a squeak nearly umping out of my skin. Placing my hand over my heart, I turn around to see Lizzy. I glair at her and she sheepishly smiles at me.
"Mornin' Liz. What are doing up so early?" I reply now relaxed.
"Well, I train along with the boys. There not the only ninja's you know," she explains as if it is obvious.
"Ninja's?" I question raising an eyebrow.
"Yep. Well, the boys will want to know you're awake. Plus Master Splinter wants to meet you and make sure you're not a threat, but I already know you're not a threat. You'd probably be more comfortable in the living room," Lizzy rambled wrapping her arm around my shoulder and leading me back into the living room by the couch. She then sat on the couch, bringing me down with her.
"Guys'! Master Splinter! Guess who's awake!" Lizzy shouted. Taking another look around the room, I see a clock and notice that it is 8 in the morning.
"Man girly, how can you be so awake this early. I don't get this up unless it's for school," I say looking at her. She only smiled, then I thought of something.
"Do you even go to school?" I ask her.
"Oh yeah, school. I totally forgot about that. I did, but I got so caught up with the turtles that I forgot about it. Maybe I could talk to April and see if she could get me into her school," she thought aloud tapping her chin. That's when I hear footsteps. I turn my head to see four turtles, followed by a giant rat heading our way. I give a small smile as they gather around me.
"Good morning child. How are you this morning?" the rat, Master Splinter, greeted.
"Good mornin' to you too. I'm good, but my arms a lil' sore. Otherwise I'm okay," I reply looking up at him and tucking a strand of my long black hair behind my ear.
"Let me look at it then. Lizzy please move, you're in the way," the turtle wearing purple, Donatello informs. Lizzy moves from her spot on my right and Donnie takes her place. As he begins to unwrap my arm, I look back at Master Splinter.
"My son Raphael tells me of your story. If you please, I would like to hear it from you," he says.
"It's alright. Well it started like any other day. I woke up, ate breakfast, had d fight with my dad, and went for a walk in the park. Only, while I was taking a break, Lizzy here came up and started to talk to me. Then after we talked, I kinda ran off. I then took a walk around the city. During the walk, I decided that enough was enough. I was done with my dad and his…," I stopped and took a breath, trying to hold back tears before continuing on. "I was done with him and his abuse. One thing about my dad, he gets drunk a lot and when he's drunk he gets abusive. So I ran home and quickly packed a bag, but then he showed up with a gun. He shot it off and I ran down the fire escape and into the streets. Only he came after me and shot me with the gun. I ran into the alley, but it ended up being a dead end. When he came down, I had thought it was going to be the end, but then Raph jumped down and saved me. The rest I'm sure you know," I finish looking at the ground, realizing that during my story, my eyes had drifted away from his and everyone else. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. Looking up, I see Master Splinter smiling at me with caring eyes. I give him a small smile in return.
"It is alright Cade, you are safe now. There are just some things girls' so young should not go through," he claimed removing his hand from my shoulder.
"Thank you," I say then he nods.
"So, if you were running away, do you have anywhere to go?" the turtle wearing blue, Leonardo asks.
"No, but anywhere is better than that place," I say glancing over at the purple banded turtle, who is rewrapping my arm. I look back up to see Lizzy and the orange masked turtle, Michelangelo, looking up at Master Splinter with pleading eyes. The other three are looking at him too.
"How would you feel if we asked you to stay here with us," Master Splinter asked.
"I don't know, I mean I wouldn't want to impose," I mumbled rubbing the back of my neck with my good arm.
"It is a big decision. I'll leave you to decide," he finished leaving the room, leaving me with four turtles and an extremely hyper teenage girl.
"Well, while you decide, can we ask you some questions?" Lizzy asked with a smile.
"Ask away," I said leaning against the back of the couch.
"So, what's your favorite color?" Michelangelo asked.
"Um, I'm partial to black, but I also like red and gray," I answer.
"What do you like to do for fun?" Lizzy asked.
"I like listening to music, playing guitar, singing, and boxing," I reply.
"Boxing?" a new voice I recognize as Raph asks.
"Psh, hell yeah. I did it for years, but I had to stop," I say with a smirk. He replied with a smirk of his own.
"What's your favorite animal?" Michelangelo asked.
"I like birds," I reply.
"Do all girls run away from guns?" Raph asks. I stare at him, confused by his question.
"What?" I ask. I look to Lizzy, who's glaring at Raph.
"Long story, I'll tell you later," she explains. I turn back to Raph.
"Dude, it's a gun. Of course I'm gonna run, but to answer your question, no," I snap turning back around.
"When's your birthday?" Lizzy asks.
"June 5, and before you ask, I'm 15," I smirk. She nods with a smile.
"Hmm, well, do you want a tour of the lair?" Lizzy questions.
"Sure, why not," I agree. Her smile grows as she stands, pulling me up with her. We then left the room, leaving the boy's behind.
Mikey's P.O.V.
As the girls leave, I turn my attention to my brothers.
"So guys', what do you think of Cade?" I ask.
"She seems okay," Leo answered.
"Yeah, but she seems to have a bit of an attitude," Donnie replied.
"Like Raph," I snicker, which is followed by a smack on the back of my head. From non-other than Raph. I give him a quick glare while rubbing the back of my head.
"I like her and her attitude," Raph agrees.
"Well, I just like her. She doesn't seem all that bad," I say. My brothers nod in my response. "Now, who wants pizza?" Cheers were heard all around.
Lizzy's P.O.V.
We leave the Living room and I first lead her into the kitchen.
"Well, here's the kitchen," I say turning to look at her. She seemed to like it.
"So, are you hungry or thirsty?" I ask and she nods.
"Do you have water?" she asked. I nod and make my way over to the fridge. I pull out two water bottles. That's when I hear faint footsteps and I know just why I hear them, so I also pull out a pizza. I close the fridge, turn around, set the pizza box on the table, hand one water bottle over to Cade, and sit down next to her.
"Hungry?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. I crack open my water bottle and take a sip before answering.
"Just watch," I answer. That's when Mikey runs into the kitchen. I pick up the pizza and hold it out to him. He grabs it, places a kiss on my cheek, and runs back out.
"How did you know?" Cade asked eyeing me.
"Ninja senses. Everyone needs them. My senses are also telling me that you want to ask something else," I say raising an eyebrow. She nods taking a sip of her own water.
"How did a normal girl like you, end up living with four, mutant teenage turtles and their sensei?" she asks.
"Well first, I was never normal. My dad left when I was three and my mom was killed when I was five. After that I lived in an awful orphanage. I had no friends for months, so I spent my days helping out in the nursery. Then one day, two little babies showed up. I felt something between them and me, so I took care of them. They attached to me, so I vowed to take care of them and find them a proper home. As the years passed, I watched them grow up. There like my little brother and sister. Then one night, they were celebrating my 15 birthday with me, but then the nuns came in, told me that they were transferring me to a new orphanage, and then left taking Maggie and Ben with them. I was so mad, so I packed the few possessions I had, and ran away. Then as I was doing this, I heard this man calling for help. I went to go and help him and let's just say the situation went bad. This guy was being kidnapped by these things called the Kraang. When I went to help, they pulled out a gun. I ran away, but they chased me, shot me with the laser gun, and cornered me. They held me up and were about to mutate me, but then something pierced the things head and I fell to the ground. I looked over the robot and saw the four turtles, but I also saw the other Kraang bot advancing towards them. So I took out the thing in the robots head and threw it. It hit him in the head and he fell. Then I fell. The turtles came over to help me and I've been with them ever since. They've put up with me, gave me a room, are now training me, and gave me the one thing I never thought I could have. A family. Plus, there's one special turtles who loves me for me, and I thank my lucky stars for that," I began. I look at Cade and she is staring at me with wide eyes.
"Wow, so that's how it happened," she said losing her shock and gaining a smile.
"Yep, but that's not all," I reply. She goes back into shock and I just giggle. "Alright, so after about three weeks of living with them, I had a dream. My mother was there and she told me to look behind this picture frame I had. When I woke up, I quickly grabbed it and went into the kitchen, so everyone could know. Only, when I opened it, it was a letter that reveled my past. Turns out my mom knew Master Splinter before he was mutated into a rat. She moved to Japan when she was 16 and became friends with a man called Oroku Saki. He introduced her to Hamato Yoshi and Tang Shen. They became great friends, but one day things changed. After what happened Saki and my mother moved to NYC. Saki runs the foot and is now known as the Shredder, and evil man. My mother was his right hand man. She then found a new recruit, Chris Bradford. He is my father and I hope you never meet him. After finding all this out, everyone helped me through it. Now we go around the city saving the day and eating as much pizza as possible," I finish fist pumping the air and giggling a little. Cade joins in on my giggle too.
"So, I have a question. How much pizza do you guys actually eat?" she asks me.
"Seriously. Out of my whole story, that's what you want to know?" I question, pointing a finger at her. She nods.
"A lot. They got me hooked on the stuff," I answer.
"You even eat it this early in the morning?" she asks me. I nod and stand up.
"On with the rest of the tour," I announce. She gets up and I begin to lead her around the lair. I first lead her into the dojo and show her some of my moves. Then I showed her where the bathroom was, just in case. After that, we went into Donnie's Lab. Usually I'm not allowed in there without permission, but I snuck in to show her around. Then I broke something and we ran out of the room. Oops. After I showed her where the bedrooms were and while doing this, I found three new rooms. After the tour, we went back out into the living room where the boys were.
"Well, tours done," I announce flopping down on the couch next to Mikey. He puts his arm around me and pulls me closer. Cade follows sitting at the end of the couch.
"So, what do you think of the lair?" Mikey asked peeking over to Cade. She looked back and smiled.
"It's amazing, especially the lab," she replied. I slapped my forehead as Donnie looked over to me.
"Lizzy, you know you're not allowed in there without permission," Donnie informed giving me a glare.
"I know, but I just wanted to show her around. I didn't break anything," I lied. He continued to glare.
"Lizzy, I've lived with you long enough to know when you're lying," he remembered standing up. I look over to Cade for help, but she's busy trying to hide a fit of giggles. I slowly stand up before darting off in the opposite direction with Donnie hot on my trail. I managed to avoid him a few moments, but when it comes to Donnie, he is unavoidable when you make him mad. He eventually tackled me to the ground.
"Lizzy, what did you break?" He angrily questioned with me under him.
"Um… the heat seeking ninja star you've been working on," I admit following it up with a sweet smile. He lets out an angry growl before darting to his lab. Everyone burst out laughing as I get up and approach the pit.
"Oh, laugh it up you guys, and you," I say pointing at Cade. She looks at me with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"You were supposed to help me back there," I sigh.
"Sorry, but I wanted to see what would happen," she replied as I sat back down next to Mikey.
"Well, now you know. Never, ever piss off Donnie," Raph chuckled. I glare at him and then turn back to Cade.
"So…" I begin.
"So…" she mimics.
"Are you gonna take up our offer and stay with us?" I ask. She taps he chin before glancing over at us.
"You mean, live with a bunch of mutants, a hyper teenage girl, and have who knows what else happen? Well, I don't know who would turn down that offer," she replied with a smile.
"So, it's a yes," Leo said gaining a smile of his own. Cade nods.
"Yay! Come on, let's go pick you out a room," I shout jumping off the couch and grab her arm, leading her off in the direction of the rooms.
Donnie's P.O.V.
It had been about half an hour since I entered my lab and now I have fixed the ninja star. The damage hadn't been that bad. I exited my lab and entered the living room.
"So, how bad was it?" Raph chuckled.
"Not bad actually. So, where are the girls anyway?" I ask, noticing they're not in the room.
"They went to go look for a room for Cade," Mikey informed.
"So she's gonna stay. That's nice. Besides us, the twins, and April, Lizzy doesn't have many friends. It'll be nice for Lizzy," I say as my brothers nod their heads in agree. That's when I begin to hear footsteps. I turn my head to see April enter the lair.
"Hey guys'," she greets. I run up to her and settle my arm around her shoulder.
"Hi April," I smile. She smiles back and lands a kiss on my cheek.
"So, how is everybody?" she asks as I lead her over to the couch.
"Good, but you'll never guess what happened," Mikey beamed looking over to April.
"What happened?" she asked. That's when we hear more footsteps. We look to see Lizzy running towards us.
"Hi April, you'll never guess what happened. Also, I have someone I want you to meet," Lizzy beamed.
"What happened and who should I meet?" April asked again.
"Hey Lizzy, where did you go?" a voice asked, which I recognized as Cade. Everyone turned their heads yet again, only this time we see Cade. Then I watch her eyes go wide.
"April?" Cade asked with a smile. I look towards my girlfriend who was also gaining a smile.
"Cade, it that you?" she asked.
"Wait, do you two know each other?" Lizzy asked, eyeing the other girls.
"Hell yeah, we go to school together," Cade informed walking over and sitting on the couch.
"Yeah, so what brings you down here?" April asks.
"Long story. It all started last night…" Cade began. She then told her story of how she met us. When she finished, April told Cade of how she met us.
"And we all know how I met the guys," Lizzy added when April ended her story.
"Alright, you're going to be living with the turtles, but you don't have any of your stuff. Do you have any idea what you're going to do about that?" April asked. Cade shook her head.
"Oo, Oo, me! I have an idea!" Lizzy shouted while raising her hand in the air.,
"Yes Lizzy," Leo spoke.
"Well, how about we go over to Cade's house and get a bunch of her stuff, and get out as quickly as possible," she noted.
"That's good in all shorty, but what do we do about her dad?" Raph asks.
"That's easy Raphie. Either we get someone to distract him, or we go at a time when he's not home," she replied.
"Well, he's not home from 7am to 5pm, plus it's Saturday right, so he's out on the town from the time work gets out till 2 in the morning. Also, from now on, I'm calling you Raphie," Cade smirked.
"No, you're not. Also, what time is it," Raph replied. I look on mu T-phone to see it's 5 in the afternoon.
"It's 5 in the afternoon," I inform.
"You know, if we head out now we could beat him and collect your stuff without any problems," April thought aloud tapping her chin.
"I say we do it," Lizzy cheered raising her fist into the air.
"I don't know, it may be dangerous," Leo said entering leader mode.
"Oh, it'll be fine. Come on girls," Lizzy yelled. All the girls nodded and then got up to get ready.
"Alright, but do you have you T-phones?" Leo agreed.
"Yep," Lizzy and April chorus. They finished getting ready and headed out the door.
April's P.O.V.
We headed out the lair and into the sewers, soon making our way to the surface. We turned out of the alley and onto the streets.
"Alright Cade, lead the way," I instruct. She nods as we quickly make her way over to her apartment.
"So you two know each other from school right?" Lizzy asked.
"That's right Blondie," Cade affirmed as we walked down the street.
"Well April, do you think you can get me into the school too? I haven't been since before my birthday and everyone needs to learn," Lizzy asked.
"Of course," I agreed. She began to cheer. Then I saw Cade tense up.
"What's wrong Cade?" I ask placing a hand on her shoulder.
"We're here," she informed pointing at the apartment to out left. We all turn to look at the place. It looks like a normal building from what I can see.
"Come on, we'll take the fire escape," she said leading us into the alley. The girls helped me grab the ladder and pull myself up. They soon followed foot until we were all by her window. Cade carefully opened it up and stepped inside. Lizzy and I followed. As I step in I notice the walls are baby pink. There's a dresser to the left of the room and her bad it to the right.
"Alright, let's get started," Lizzy leads. We nod and get to work. Cade hands me a bag and I head over to the dresser. I begin to fill the bag full of shirts, jeans, underwear, bras, and many other things. I soon finish packing her a bag and then turn to the girls. They both had a bag full of Cade's things.
"Are we done?" Lizzy asks hoisting the bag on her shoulder.
"Almost, I just have one more thing to grab," Cade said leaving the room. Lizzy and I wait for a few minutes until Cade returns with a huge wad of cash.
"Wow, that's a lot of money," I say.
"Yeah, I've been hiding the money I raised from my job. Plus there's a little extra in there from my dad," she smiles before stuffing it in her bag. We head out the window and back down the fire escape. Once on the ground we make our way back to the streets.
"So, what do you plan on doing with all that money?" Lizzy asks.
"Well, I think I'll use some of it for my room and the rest of it for necessities," she answers.
"Seems reasonable," I say with a smile. We soon find a manhole and jump into the sewers. It doesn't take long until we reach the lair.
"We're HOME!" Lizzy shouts walking through the turn stills. Everyone turns their heads towards us.
"No trouble?" Leo asked.
"Not at all," Cade reassures. Leo smiles ant turns back to the TV.
"Come on girls, Cade can put her stuff in my room until she has fixed up hers," Lizzy informed. We make our way to Lizzy's room. When we're there, we place all of Cade's things to the side.
"Hey April, you should call your aunt and ask if you can spend the night," Lizzy smiles flopping down on her bad.
"Alright," I agree. I pull out my T-phone and begin to dial her number. The phone rings three times before someone picks up.
"Hello?" my aunt greets.
"Hey Aunt Aggie, can I spend the night at my friend Lizzy's house?" I ask politely.
"Sure Honey, but call the hospital if you need me. I have to work the late shift tonight," she informs.
"Of course Auntie, thanks. I love you," I say sweetly.
"I love you too April, good bye," she says.
"Bye," I reply before hanging up. I turn towards my friends and smile.
"Yay! Let's get our pajamas on and then go tell the boy's," Lizzy cheers.
"Um Lizzy, can I borrow a pair," I ask realizing that I don't have any clothes with me. She nods and hands me a pair of purple one's with pink flowers all over them, but I don't recognize them.
"Are these new?" I ask her. She nods pulling out her favorite pair, the ones with turtles on them of course. I notice Cade pull out a red plaid pair with a black tank top. We soon change and head out into the living room. I then see that Master Splinter had joined them.
"Guess who's staying the night?" Lizzy says heading over towards the couch.
"April?" Donnie asks as Lizzy nods.
"Elizabeth, you did not ask for permission," Master Splinter informs.
"Oh, sorry Master Splinter, I forgot in all the excitement with Cade staying," Lizzy apologized rubbing the back of her neck.
"It is alright. Just ask next time, but I am glad to hear that you have decided to stay Cade," Splinter smiles. Cade smiles back and we make our way over by Lizzy. I sit next to Donnie and snuggle into his Plastron as Lizzy sits next to Mikey. Cade makes her way over by Lizzy and sits in-between Lizzy and I.
"Alright, I declare we have a movie night to celebrate," Lizzy claims.
"Great idea Lizzy Bear," Mikey agrees placing a kiss on her cheek. I let out a giggle with everyone else.
"Now Raphie, would you do the honors?" Lizzy asks sweetly.
"Fine, but don't call me that shorty," he grumbled. She stuck her tong out at him in reply. He gets up and places a DVD in the player. We then begin to watch the movie.
