Disaclaimer: I do not own TMNT. i only own The Bonded and The Blessed and My OCs.
Last Chapter:
"What of your parents?" Master Splinter asked. Alex looked away.
"When I was six, my dad ran off. He was involved with someone else. My mom, she was so heartbroken. She rarely got up. Rarely spoke a word. When I sang, she would yell at me. When I talked, she'd hush me. Finally, I became a selective mute. I rarely talk. Even now it burns to talk." Alex rubbed her throat as if to prove her point. "When I was 14, dad came back.
"He tried to take me away. All I knew is that he stunk of alcohol. I made him let go and I ran away. Believe it or not, I lived in New York's Sewer system for about a year." Alex smiled sadly at the next part. "One year exactly, I was searching for food when my old Ninjitsu Master, Master Jiong, found me. He instantly saw through my 'tough girl' attitude and saw a girl who need a family, a home.
"Master Jiong took me in and for the next year, I spent it training. Liana, Master Jiong's daughter, was like my sister. I remembered wishing for a chance to prove myself worthy when Master Jiong died. Liana went into the system after Ling-Su and Master Jiong died. She went into the system. Last I heard a man in New York was looking to adopt her." Alex sighed, finishing her tale. Master Splinter frowned. Her tale sounded like his as well.
"I see." He said. Alex bowed.
"Thank you for listening Master Splinter." She said. Little did they know that there was an eavesdropper behind the door.
-Few minutes before-
Raphael saw the new arrival training with Master Splinter. He saw her fight with a pair of twin Sais. He stepped in to view. "Master Splinter." He said. He nodded to the girl, taking her in. She was 5'5" with blonde and blue highlights. She had hazel eyes and a stance that screamed 'danger!'.
"He must be so tired." Raph heard the girl whisper. He went into the kitchen and saw a plate on some type of pie. Donatello looked up.
"Alex cooked it. She said it was her mother's Quiche." He said, sipping some coffee. Raph gently took the plate and tasted the food.
"It's good." He admitted. He finished his 'breakfast' and went to see what the girl was doing. He needed to see how much she knew.
He heard her talking to Master Splinter. "… Rarely spoke a word. When I sang, she would yell at me. When I talked, she'd hush me. Finally, I became a selective mute. I rarely talk. Even now it burns to talk. When I was 14, dad came back.
"He tried to take me away. All I knew is that he stunk of alcohol. I made him let go and I ran away. Believe it or not, I lived in New York's Sewer system for about a year.

Last I heard a man in New York was looking to adopt her." Alex sighed, finishing her tale. Raphael frowned. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to get to know her.
Raphael went back to his room and looked at his Nightwatcher uniform. She knew about him. He had to know how much.
-With Alex; Winters Corps.-
Alex was sitting in front of Mr. Winters, waiting for him to start the interview. "So what brings you to New York Miss Martinez?" He asked.
"I am willing to admit, I was a runaway. My parents split when I was six and when my dad tried to get me back, I ran to Kansas. Finally, I came here to spend some time with some friends of mine." She said, lying but not really lying. "I don't want to seem like a free loader. I decided if I was going to get a job, might as well go for the big leagues."
Mr. Winters smiled. "I see. If you can sort that," he pointed to an overflowing wire basket. "Then you can have the job." Alex stood up and shook hands with Winters.
"Thank you sir." She said. She felt a small spasm go up her arm, but she didn't think about it. She went to work and easily sorted the pile of papers. Alex looked at the time and saw it was five. "Mr. Winters?" She asked. He looked up.
He smiled. "Thank you Miss Martinez." He said. Alexandria nodded.
"Please, just call me Alex." She said. "I guess I'll go home."
"Be back tomorrow at nine Alex." Mr. Winters said. She nodded and grabbed her coat. She went into the sewer system and quickly found her way to the lair.
"Mikey, Donnie, Master Splinter, I'm back!" she called. Mikey looked up from his game.
"How'd it go Dudette?" He asked. Alex rolled her hazel eyes.
"I got the job. How'd your job go?" She asked slyly. Mikey flinched and returned to his game. "You know I was kidding." She said, but Mikey was too absorbed in his game against EitherPortalQueen98. Alex shook her head. Naomi always used that user name. She missed her cousin dearly, but she remembered that she had a new family. The Hamato family.
Alex went into her room and turned on the lone TV. She changed it to the news station and grimaced. The news reporter was talking about some type of monster. "The first of thirteen." Alex murmured. "Hope whatever I'm feeling isn't connected to Leonardo in any way." When Alex fell asleep, she dreamed of a jungle.
She was running from something. Alex heard a jeering voice. She recognized it as one of the stone generals. "You'll never make it!" The first one jeered.
"Look at it run!" The second one sneered. "One blow and it'll be dead." Alexandria had a strange feeling of dread that they weren't talking to her.
"He shall be the first." The lone female said. Alex ran into a clearing, but it wasn't a clearing. It was Winter's Corps. There were thirteen pods. Five of them had the turtles and Master Splinter in them.
"Launch the Rat." The fourth one said. Alex let a silent scream out as Master Splinter was sucked into the portal.
It went Mikey, then Donatello, and finally Raph, still in his Nightwatcher outfit. "No!" Alex was finally able to scream. She raced to Leonardo's Pod and banged on it. "Leonardo!"
Leo raised his head and looked at her. "Run… You can't stop them." And with that, he too was gone.
"Lookie here!" Voice one said. "The Bonded One!" Alex fell to her knees as the statues became flesh.
"Is her Blessed gone?" The second jeered.
"Such a shame. She could've joined us." The female said.
The fourth one said nothing as he swung his sword. In a swift movement, Alexandria fell to the ground, unshed tears in her dull, dead eyes.
Alex woke up screaming. In a flash, everyone in the lair was in her room. "Alexandria, calm down." Master Splinter said. Alex whimpered, but stopped screaming. "What was it?"
"I couldn't stop it… I had to watch them take over." She whispered. Raphael and Donatello looked at each other in confusion while Michelangelo frowned. Alex, however, had told Master Splinter what happened during the final battle after training.
"Go back to bed my sons." Master Splinter said. The three looked at each other and went back to their rooms. Alex sat in her bed and talked To Master Splinter about her dream. "I see." He said. "It seems you fear our outcome is not true."
Alex nodded. "When the time comes, I wish to fight with you and your sons." She said. Master Splinter closed his eyes.
"We will see." He said. "Try and get some rest. Miss O'Neil is coming back from South America tomorrow." He left Alexandria alone in her room. Alex got a book from a shelf and laughed at the title.
"Really, Twilight?" She giggled.
-With Leonardo-
Leo woke up suddenly. It was normal for him to have vivid dreams, and nightmares, but that one had to be the worst. But there was something that was wrong about this one.
Leonardo was watching a girl with blonde hair and blue highlights run through the jungle he was in when four statues surrounded him. He was shocked when they all drew swords on him. Leo took off running through the trees.
The statues followed him. "You'll never make it!" The first one jeered.
"Look at it run!" The second one sneered. "One blow and it'll be dead." Leo picked up the pace and somehow ended up in a building he had never been in. He turned to see his brothers and Sensei trapped in pods.
"Master Splinter!" Leo cried. Master Splinter barely looked up.
"Run…" His family said. Leo felt something hit his arm and saw a sedative inject into his arm. When he woke up, the girl he was watching was staring at him and his family in horror.
"He shall be the first." The lone female said. Leo did his best to look out of the small window, but he only saw a pod about to be launched into some sort of portal.
"Launch the Rat." The fourth one said. Leo stiffened as the pod was launched. The girl was screaming and sobbing silently. Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael were launched in the order, saving him for last.
"No!" The girl finally screamed out, running to Leonardo's pod. She banged on the pod door as if she hoped that would open it. Leo raised his head and looked in her hazel eyes. He felt as if he should know her, but he didn't recognize her. "Leonardo!" With a flash, he remembered her to be Alexandria, the girl from the dreams of a desert.
"Run… You can't stop them." He said. He felt his pod move back and he was standing next to Alexandria.
"Lookie here!" Voice one said. "The Bonded One!" the girl fell to her knees as the statues became flesh.
"Is her Blessed gone?" The second jeered.
"Such a shame. She could've joined us." The female said.
The fourth one said nothing as he swung his sword. In a swift movement, Alex fell to the ground, unshed tears in her dull, dead eyes. Leo's eyes widened, but he vanished.
When Leo thought about it, he dismissed it as missing home. He remembered what April had told him. Donatello and Michelangelo getting jobs? Donnie maybe, but Mikey? Leo shook his head and looked at the night sky. Who was Alexandria? Did she know his family? Why did she look so familiar, yet different?
He would make his choice in a couple days.
Yay! We got to see in Leo's mind! I hope he's not OoC. It's so hard writing the turtles in character!
I almost cried when i typed Alex's dream & housing situation.
