Raph had been out for nearly 2 hours, and it wasn't for a waste of time either. He had stop some thugs from stealing some electronic store, some purple dragons from stealing some man wallet, and finally a few Kraang bots that were just minding there own business, that is until Raph bash their robot skulls in and scared the little brains away. Raph sigh as he quickly glance at his T-phone for the time, it was 2:30 A.M, more than ready to head back to the lair. Raph sigh as he ran as fast as he could, not for the fact he wanted to go home but for the feel of air against his skin. The nightmare he had kept returning to his head. He remember how much his 'future self; reminded him of spike. The way he walk and laugh when his brothers or family was hurt. Would he really become that way, having a thirst for their blood. He thought the answer was a defendant no, but now that he thought of it, would he become like that? After all he was the one who had feed spike his hates and anger with the turtle, some of the only things they talk about. Every time spike saw his brothers he would usual slap them upside the head, yell at them, or fight right in front of the turtle, thinking that he wanted his brothers dead. Did he really ever say that? No of course he never actually told spike that he wanted them dead, that was for sure. In fact he only told spike about the stupid small things that bothered him, stupid small things he couldn't name at the second even if his life deepened on it. Yet again, now of lately he had been more violent, snapping easier, his emotional anger having no where to go, not where he use to put it in his pet turtles head. Tiring himself emotional after talking to spike, then never even remembering it the next morning, and never telling the small turtle that he never meant a word he said. And no, nearly 12 years of pent up frustrations turn the innocent pet turtle into the raging monster that had one desire to kill his family. Which now that raph thought about it, scared him, would he become like that in 10 years. Or maybe even less with even more stressful and raging things like the Kraang and Shredder it was amazing he wasn't hitting something 24/7.

'Would I eve kill them?' Raph thought, 'Would I ever get so mad and hateful that I kill my own brothers?' he shook his head, it could it happen, he wouldn't let it happen. But how could he do that, he didn't know why he had the erg, it was just there, so how could he destroy his quick temper?

He sigh.

'Maybe some sleep will help me.' He thought landing on the 3 fire escape of some random building. For once using his brain and deciding to make sure no one saw him jump into the sewers. Raph was about to confirm he herd no one near by, until he then herd something….it was breathing. Raph frown at the sound. 'Who the shell is here?' he thought looking for any form of life. He saw an empty street, some garbage on the street, a dumpster, some trash by the side. 'Wait, that ain't trash' Raph realize as he saw the 'trash bag' have a more humanly shape to it concern it might be someone that might be hurt he carefully jump to the ground and silently walk up to the shape. He saw the shape a defiant human shape for sure, the shape of a human girl, no older than 4 at most. The girl was sleeping in a some what up right position barley seeable that most people would pass by without taking notice, but he wasn't most people. He look at the girl some more, seeing if she was hurt. The girl appeared to have some dark brown or more likely brunette colored hair, fair colored skin, a button cute nose, and purple and butterfly dress like pajamas, and a stuff teddy bear.

'Poor kid' Raph thought 'what's she doin in the middle of New York in her Pj, don't her mother know better?' Raph growling at the thought of some mother being so irresponsible as leaving her kid in the middle of New York. However Raph had growled to loud for the girl liking, because before Raph knew it she was stirring in her sleep and about to wake up. Raph sadly didn't notice until he saw he open her eyes. To his surprise he saw beautiful colored eyes, the were a mixture or yellow/blue/green all form together like some beautiful array of tie die colors. (okay this is an actual eye color my friend has eyes just like that and I think it so cool) They stared up at him in surprise, Raph inwardly groan as he waited for the certain 'Monster' or scream that was sure to come. He saw her eyes look at him all over, from his neon colored eyes to his circle like shape foot. She look at him in the face one more time, before bging up a hand and suddenly saying:

"Turtle" Raph was slightly shock, but recovered quickly and nodded timidly to her question.

"Ah ya, 'm a turtle" he said, the girl look at him again before asking another question.

"Are you a nice turtle" she ask, Raph wanted to laugh. He was certain his brother (especially Donnie) would have a million ways to describe him, and none of them were 'nice turtle.' But not wanting to scare the kid he nodded.

"Ya, you can say 'm a nice turtle" he said, the girl then gave him a bright pretty smile as she now stood up. She stood just tall enough for her forehead to barely come the same high at his knees. The dog was in her tight clutches, squeezing the white and light blue puppy in her hands. She stared up at him as if expecting him to say something, she wasn't disappointed.

"So….ha….where is yur dad?" He ask, some people might have ask where mother was for it was the usual thought when look at a little girl. But Raph only parent was a father, so he would natural ask where the father was for he always grew up with a father and figured every one has to have a dad in some sort of sense. The girl however frown as she look down while her figure pointed up.

"Gone" you'd have to be 10 times denser than Mikey to not get what the little girl meant by that. Raph wanted to mentally quick his butt for asking it in the first place, even if he had no idea of that fact in the beginning, causing his question. Raph then ask the second logical question.

"Where's yur mom" He ask, the girl look at him, and then appeared to be thinking of the answer before finally answering.

"Went on a walk" she said, causing Raph confusion.

"How long was that ago?" He ask, the girl thought about it for a second before once again answering.

"Since dinner time" she said "Yesterday night" she said, Raph was shock by her answer, she had been left alone for one whole day and she wasn't kidnap, which was a miracle truthfully. He then realize the situation, the mother more in likely abandon the poor kid, hex, she probably did abandon the poor girl in the middle of no where. Raph thoughts were beginning to fill with rage, images of him going to go find the woman and give her a piece of his mind to her, but he was interrupted but another question.

"What's your name?" she ask curiously, Raph was shock for a second but decoded to answer.

"Raphael my name" he said, the girl thought over the name.

"Raff-I-L" she tried, frowning when she didn't say it right.

"Ya but people call me Raph fur short." He said so the girl wouldn't try to kill herself to say his name.

"Raph" she tried, smiling when she said it right, Raph grin.

"That's right," he said, then he got curious. "What's yur name?" He ask, then girl smiled.

"Isabella" she said, Raph smiled.

"Nice name," He unusually commented, surprising himself, the girl however smiled in happiness.

"I like your name too" she said in such a cute way Raph couldn't help but grin/smile at her. Then she held up her light brown teddy bear for him to see. "This is Teddy" she said proudly, Raph look at the usual brown teddy bear before smiling again.

"Great name fur him'" Raph replied, the girl smiled, but then she began to sneeze. It was just one but then it turned into a fits of coughs and sneezes to the point she was almost crying. Raph – without thinking – quickly knelt down besides the kid and began to rub her back to help her breath there.

"Whoa careful there, you okay?" he ask once her sneeze/coughing fit was over, she look up with teary eyes and shook her head.

"No" she said "My throat and chest hurt" she said, Raph now hearing the unnatural wheezing she gave when breathing.

'She needs to see a doctor.' Raph thought 'Or maybe I can take her to an orphanage.' Raph frown at the thought, the orphanages in New York were not the greatest ones in the world. She could end up waiting her intired life in some abusive orphanage for a family who'll end up taking her only if they get paid to take her. Maybe a hospital could be better, but he doubt there was any good Doctor other than his brother Donnie that was closer. 'Maybe I could take her home with me' he thought 'After all, she's a kid, no one will believe her if she said she saw 4 big turtles.' Raph pondered how he usual would have grown if he did something like this, but he didn't feel annoyed. Making him confuse, he was certain this would go under a pain in the shell. Deciding to think of this later he turn his attention to the girl who was staring at him with wonder, and something else he couldn't recognize.

"Ah, hey kid. How bout' we see a doctor, I know one that'll fix you up" he said, the girls eyes widen.

"Is he going to give me a shot?" she ask, slightly scared, Raph quickly shook his head.

"No, he doesn't like shots himself, he'll probably give ya some medicine" Raph said quickly to the girl "and even if he try's ta give ya a shot I'll smack him upside the head, deal?" he ask, the girl look at him, and the nodded before smiling to him.

"Okay" she said, her voice nice and cheery again, Raph grin before standing up to his full 5,10 ft height. The girls eyes then furrowed as she thought about it. "Where do turtles live?" she ask in such a cute and adorable way, Raph couldn't help but laugh slightly.

"Turtles like me live in the sewers, common' I'll take ya there" he said, before he could turn and begin to lead the way the girls arm suddenly shoot up straight towards the now confuse Raph.

"Ahhh" he stammered, having no idea what she wanted.

"Up" she said, Raph now understood what she wanted, she wanted him to carry her. Raph inwardly groan, this was not going to help him with his reputation. But that look she gave him when she began to think he was going to carry him made him feel bad, which was no easy task. Sighing and deciding to screw his reputation he brought his hands down to her sides before effortlessly picking her up. She squeal in delight as her arms automatically went around his neck, or as far as she could reach them while she pulled her head back to look at him. Raph always wondered what a little kid would think if they ever meet him. And not when they were in a middle of a tea party and would think that he was Mr. imaginary talking turtle. He figured they would have scream and ran until the cows talk home. He would in a million years have thought this would be the reaction of a little girl, smiling at him happily with no fear, and evening look at him up close and wanting him to hold them. It made him feel funny inside, confuse by the feeling he felt like he was going to get mad. But then the feeling of Isabella head on his shoulder quickly killed the slight annoyance he felt for the confuse and unfamiliar feelings he had and made him relax. Taking another breath he walk over to the manhole cover and move it out of the way. Once removed he jump down expertly and effortlessly before quickly reaching up and replacing the lid. With one more breath he began to walk to the lair, wondering how on earth he was going to explain this to his brothers and more importantly, Master Splinter.
