Chapter 2

Meet the Family.

Muffled laughter filled the restaurant nearby as the manhole was slightly lifted up, within the sewer was a mutant turtle and a human teenager as the two walked down the damp pavement, water dripped from the pipes.

Tami's fingers had gone a dark shade of purple clearly showing she had broken her two fingers, shoulder throbbing in agony.

"Ya alright?" Raph asked.

"Peachy." Tami mumbled.

The two continued to walk for a bit.

"You mentioned someone called Leo, is he a brother or something?"

Raph chuckled. "Ya can say dat, and there is two others."

"Ah, so there's four"

"Yep, but ignore Mikey, your life will be a lot easier."

Tami snickered. "The annoying little brother is he?"

"Ya can say dat."

"And if you have a annoying sibling, surely you have a braniac."

"Yup, how do ya know?"

"I'm one of nine siblings, and one of them was a nerd, no offence to the brainiac of you four."

"Nah, he won't mind."

They continued to walk until they came to a stop at a huge wall. Tami frowned and looked around, she watched as the pipes moved and a keypad was revealed. Raph grumbled as he punched in some numbers which was none of Tami's business to begin with anyway, the wall opened and the stepped in. Tami looked around in awe.

"For the sewers this is pretty homey." Tami commented.

"Thanks, wait here."

Her bag was set onto the floor as the red masked turtle walked off. Tami looked around, it was huge with a little pond and a bridge. Tami said nothing and continued to look around more, she wanted to hug herself but her dislocated shoulder and broken fingers prevented that from happening.

"So what is it you wanted to...Show me."

Tami blinked and looked over to see another masked turtle, but with a blue one who was glaring at Raph, said turtle raised his hands in a surrender gesture.

"What did you do?"

"Nothin! Saved dis girl from some punks." Raph protested.

The blue masked turtle looked over to Tami as she shifted her feet and looked away out of pure nervousness, she never felt like this before, but then again, those handles of the swords didn't make her comfortable at all, she gave a quick glance and then looked around as her fingers throbbed in pain.

"Let me tell ya, dis girl is one tough cookie." Raph told the eldest of the turtles.

"What do you mean?"

"She fought with dem thugs."

"And you watched!"

"I helped out in the end once I heard her shoulder dislocate."

Nothing else was said and the two approached her as Tami watched.

"What's your name?"

"Tami." She answered.

"My name is Leonardo, I see you met Raphael."

Tami smiled. "I would've been screwed without his help."

She realised he extended his hand.

"Love to shake it, but my fingers hurt like a bitch, as does my shoulder."

Leonardo looked to her fingers to see they were purple, a dark purple, he was no doctor but he knew she didn't bruise her fingers.

"Raph, go and get Donatello."

The red masked turtle nodded and walked off as the two were left in the room together. Tami shifted slightly as she shifted a foot.

"Why were you out at this time?" Leonardo asked her.

Tami shrugged. "Went for a walk, those men approached me, their leader was still pissy I gave him a kick to the crotch the other night."

There was no way in hell she was gonna tell them the truth, she did just meet them after all, and they'll be asking questions sooner or later and Tami hoped it will be later than sooner.

"Raph what did you do!"

They faced another turtle who had a purple mask and he spotted the purple on her fingers.

"Nothing! She was like dat." Raph protested.

"Nevermind, your fingers are very purple."

Tami flinched as her left shoulder was touched.

"Not only that, a dislocated shoulder, we better put that back in place and tend to your fingers." Donny told the girl.

She was guided into another room, a small lab as she sat on the bed which looked like the ones at the doctors.

"This will hurt a bit."

Tami yelped as her shoulder was grabbed and moved about followed by a sickening popping sound, she grunted in pain and then hissed as she grabbed her shoulder with the back of her hand.

"Man that hurt." Tami groaned.

"Sorry, it was the only way."

Tami sighed. "It's alright."

"Now about your fingers."

Tami said nothing as her hand was lifted up, she flinched as it was touched ever so slightly, she allowed a small hiss of pain to escape as she bit her bottom lip.

"Clearly broken."

Tami frowned and looked to her purple fingers as her fingers throbbed in pain, she couldn't bend her fingers at all, she was in too much pain to do so anyway.

"How did you break them?"

"To be honest...I do not know, must of broke them when fighting those guys."

"Who were those guys?"

"Dunno, ran into them last night."

He said nothing and bandaged her fingers up. Tami looked to her bandaged fingers and allowed a sigh to escape her lips as she shifted.

"What are you doing in New York City anyway?" Donny asked the girl.

"Sightseeing." Tami lied, hoping he would buy it.

Luckily for her he shrugged it off and the two left the lab and back into the room.

"Why were you sightseeing at this time?"

Tami flinched slightly. "Lost track of time."

"Whoa, saved the day Raph?"

There was a smack followed by a 'ow' as Tami's lips twitched slightly, amusement shone through eyes as she gave a small grin.

"Don't start Mikey." Raph growled.

"I'm surprised the damsel wasn't out cold."

There was another smack as Tami bit back the urge to laugh, she managed to hold it back.

"And this is Michelangelo."

"I'm the pretty one."

Tami giggled as Mikey grinned at her

"Yeah, pretty young."

"Hey!"

Tami snickered and then rubbed her forehead.

"What are you doing out at this time?"

Tami sighed. "Looking around."

"Only ta get chased." Raph retorted.

She gave him a small glare and then crossed her arms.

'I must be going insane.' Tami thought. 'I think I need a lie down after this.'

Inside she was freaking out that she was talking to giant, talking turtles, normally people would scream at the sight of them, and yet she didn't, she remained calm but inside she was screaming, she didn't want to scare them by screaming at the top of her lungs.

"How old are you?" Leo asked the girl.

Tami flinched. "Uhm...15?"

"Why is a 15 year old girl out at this time!?"

There was no way in hell she can get herself out of this situation.

"Ah...Well...Sightseeing."

"At this time?"

"Well yeah."

And Tami thought her night wouldn't get any weirder, oh how wrong she was, she couldn't believe her eyes when a rat wearing a kimono approached the small group, she wished she was seeing things, sadly she wasn't, if she was only old enough to drink, she would definitely do just that.

"Isn't she the cutest thing!" Mikey spoke up.

Tami scoffed. "Can you really call a baseball bat wielding and thug basher girl cute?"

"Erm...Not really, but still!"

Tami said nothing and looked at the orange masked turtle as she simply raised an eye brow. Mikey simply grinned at her and Tami shrugged it off, but she did notice the rat was staring at her and it was making her uncomfortable, as if he was studying her, looking for something that she had hidden well. Tami tried to remain calm as possible, but she was freaking out on the inside, she tried to remain cool and calm as much as she can, eventually his expression changed into a more calmer one, as if she was not a threat, but he did end up whacking Raph on the head with his stick.

"What was dat for?!" Raph asked as Mikey snickered.

"For sneaking out."

Tami had to resist the urge to laugh out loud, she had to admit, that was kinda funny. Raph grumbled and rubbed his head.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Tami, yes?"

Tami swallowed. "Yeah, that's my name." She murmured.

"I see you met one of my sons earlier."

"Um Yeah...Wait...Sons?"

She had a nod as a response. "Yes, I am Master Splinter and these are my sons."

Tami simply looked at each of them and then blinked. "Um...Wow."

"Soo...How did you guys become...Like this?"

They all sat down as Tami sat on the lumpy sofa.

"Before I begin this tale, I must warn you that once the tale is told, you may be part of the danger that the enemy poses, are you certain you can handle it."

Tami looked at the turtles as Mikey grinned.

"Does this danger include dudes with tattoos."

"What kind of tattoo?" Leo asked the girl.

"Purple and it looked like a dragon." She answered.

"Looks like ya ran into the Purple Dragons."

"Seriously?"

"Don't be fooled, they're a dangerous gang lead by Hun." Leo told her seriously.

"Hmph, I've dealt with worse and I was bound to make enemies sooner or later."

And so Splinter went on to tell the tale of how his master was killed by the Shredder and he managed to flee, a young boy was about to cross the road with a glass full of turtles but lost them down the sewers, they were discovered with green slime on them and he managed to get some on himself and they grew at a alarming rate, and once they were old enough they were taught the ways of ninjitsu.

"Well that explains the Japanese theme in part of the room." Tami mumbled.

"So, what about your story." Mikey asked.

"Hrm, It's getting late, maybe another time."

"Aww."

Tami gave a smile and then looked to her broken fingers.

"Well it is getting late." Donny noted.

"We'll take you up." Leo offered.

Tami smiled. "Sure."

She got off the sofa and walked off with the guys following her, she never noticed Splinter watching her leave, a shiver ran up her spine and she completely ignored the shivering up her spine. Tami grabbed her bag and walked out with the four turtles following, luckily her baseball bat was in her bag and then they left the room.

-/-

The manhole cover was removed and they got out one at a time.

"Thanks guys." Tami mumbled.

"Anytime dudette."

Tami looked to Mikey and grinned, she really liked the orange band turtle, he was funny and cheerful in her opinion.

"Try ta not get caught again." Raph told her.

Tami glared at him and punched his shoulder which caused the red banded turtle to rub his arm but smirked at her while at it.

"Your sarcasm was not welcome." Tami huffed.

"Whateva you say."

Tami turned around and crossed her arms, by the time she turned back, all four turtles were gone. Tami blinked and then rubbed her eyes.

"Man they're good." Tami mumbled.

She walked off with her bag and hurried down the street before any Purple Dragon members ambushed her

-/-

Tami sneaked into the open window and then closed it, the same window which she used last night, the elderly lady gave her a nod of greeting and went back to her room. Tami smiled and headed to the living room area to spot the blanket was waiting for her. Tami kicked her shoes off and went over to the sofa.

She sat on it and then lied down as she tossed the blanket over her. Tami sighed and snuggled into the blanket as she gave a yawn and fell into a sleep, unaware one of the turtles had followed her all the way here to make sure she was safe, knowing she was, they left to allow the teen to sleep off what she saw tonight.

Done!

Phew, I hope it was alright.
