You paused but this night had been crazy enough so you threw caution to the wind and told them your name was, "Ymir" (I know some of y'all's names ain't Ymir but ya just lied to their faces so deal wif it)

"Ymir…" trailed the orange one.

"Alright, Ymir" spoke Splinter "How did you and my son's meet?"

Nun POV

The turtles froze at the question, the previous tensions had been smothered by the abused girl in front of them.

Raphael had stopped all movement, he wasn't even breathing. Ice was slowly creeping from his bones into his veins.

The others were all apprehensive about answering the question, Raphael's rage and brutal thrashing he gave the PD's eerily fresh in their minds. Luckily their lack of response was overlooked as you began to talk in a small voice

"How did I meet them…? What do you mean? I just woke up here...last I remember was painting my mural and then Fong showed up-" Fear flooded your eyes and you're breath hitched. You make a few odd gasping sounds and your pupils constricted. "F-fong...he-he", you were quivering remembering the dirty things he did to you…" oh my god, pl-please no no NO!" Your eyes had clouded over as you relived the moment. It was hell.

The turtles all took a step back as your demeanor switched from confusion to absolute panic and terror.

"She spoke of the name 'Fong' is she referring to the Purple Dragons?" Splinters calm voice directed the question to the boys, but his eyes never left the mess of a girl.

Again the turtles froze at the question, however, Donnie had enough sense to answer him "Yes, we had just been on patrol when we got an alert from the blind restaurant owner, Mr. Murakami, when we arrived the place was trashed. told us the PD's had done this, and we recklessly went to apprehend them." He paused quickly thinking of what to say next. Raphael was cold and sweaty, fearing that Donnie would spill about his psychotic outburst of rage. He listened closely expecting just that," However when we tracked them down to an alley near Durham Raph- um.. well, I mean we caught them harassing this girl here. W-we um...dealt with them accordingly and l-left." Donnie finished his explanation, keeping Raph's temper tantrum out of it.

Raphael visibly relaxed until he heard his name again when Leo began to speak "We left, however, Raphael stayed behind to get the girl, even though he was given a direct order to tail us home." the ending of his speech was very salty.

Splinter's eyes finally snapped from the weeping girl and to Raphael. His eyes asked a simple question, Why?

Raphael breathed, "I couldn't leave her sensei, she, she was extremely banged up, she has bruises everywhere. And she was really messed up in the head...I mean sh-she was unresponsive, but she was had stressed that she needed medical attention, although Leo was afraid that you'd be upset if we brought another human home...I'm not sure sensei, I really couldn't- I physically couldn't leave her, even if it was a direct order to do so." He sounded sincere if not a bit sounded confused and vulnerable.

Splinter eyed his sons, all seemed hesitant and timid. He knew they were hiding something, however, it would have to wait, they had company after all.

They sat in relative silence and digested their little story until a piercing scream broke the quiet.

It had been the girl, "NO NO, STOP STOP, I SWEAR I'LL HAVE THE MONEY NEXT TIME!" They had momentarily forgotten the girl's state.

Her eyes roamed the room widely, and she gripped the sheets tightly. Tears bubbled down her fear stricken face. In between screams she had burrowed her teeth into her now bloody bottom lip.

"Oh dear, what on Earth did they do to you?" Splinter inquired to her, kneeling to be eye level with her. Gently he reached out his hand and grasped Ymir's trembling one. She instantly jerked back flailing wildly and screaming. Splinter stood back and eyed his sons. He sighed.

"We need to calm her down before we take any further measures. Raphael!" the named turtle straightened and tore his eyes from the panicked girl. "Sensei?"

" I applaud you for being concerned and compassionate, however, she is still someone we do not know. You have brought a stranger to our home therefore, she is your responsibility." Splinter spoke quietly albeit strictly.

Raphael breathed, more than glad that is father was not too upset with him."Hai Sensei" He thought about what Splinter had said and grimaced, responsibility? What did that even mean?

He looked at Y'mir and drank in her shattered image. She was so distraught. She had begun shaking and her breath was heavy. Fear was laced into the seams of her existence...and he hated it. His anger began to slowly return. The PD's had done this. Why would they do this? What had she done to deserve this? Was this FUN? Or something sicker? His own breath became labored thinking about those bastards.

"How are we going to calm her down if we can't even touch her?" Mikey spoke for the first time in a while. "I'm not sure." Spoke Donnie "but we need to do it quickly so we can treat her injuries."

"Well," began Leo eying Raph, "since she's Raph's responsibility, he would be the one to do it" Leo glared at Raph, still miffed about the day's adventure. "Wait, what do you-"

"That is fair Leonardo" Splinter agreed, cutting Raph off "However Raphael is not good at things of this nature, you are to stay and help him"

"Bu-"

"No buts, Michelangelo, please prepare dinner for six, and Donatello please prepare to care for her wounds. I will we in the training area meditating" with that Splinter sauntered off leaving four distraught teenage mutants and a sniveling trauma filled girl in his wake.
