He tried to stay silent but failed miserable as the water splashed and echoed off of the sewer tunnel walls. Raph glanced up at the number that was nailed onto the grimy wall. He growled slightly when he didn't recognize it.
He had easily snuck past his older brother and the crazy vigilant as their topic changed from frying pizza to licking frozen metal poles.
Raph turned around and kicked at the murky water; angry that he had somehow managed to get himself lost. A small rat scurried past Raph and gave a small squeak before disappearing. He sighed and looked up at the light that streamed in through a manhole cover. A car drove past and blocked out the street lamp light for a moment before it beamed down again on the young turtles face. Raph grunted as he gave a sturdy jump and barley grabbed the first pole to the ladder. He pulled himself up until he was able to climb up the ladder and meet face to face with the manhole cover. He started to push it off, losing his breath quicker then he felt comfortable when he realized how heavy it actually was. He tried again and this time succeeded in pushing the heavy lid off slightly. He caught his breath before sliding the metal cover off completely and climbing out of the murky sewers.
"Ok, no. Ironman would defiantly win against Thor." Casey stated
"Thor is a freaking God man! He can beat anyone!" Mikey countered
"Ironman can take down anyone anywhere anytime!" Casey said "One blast from his awesome suit and your so called 'hero' is a goner"
"Pa-lease!" Mikey said "You need a lot more then a-"
"Captain America would win" April interrupted as she emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of Spaghetti-O's "He's strong, kind hearted, and super duper cute"
"I resent that" Casey said.
"Are you kidding? A care-bear could take out Captain America!" Mikey said. "He is not as cool as Thor and his hammer!"
April rolled her eyes "Whatever" She said; knowing that if she got pulled into this fight she would only end up bringing out the boys' nerdy sides and would lose the argument. "Anyways, I made some food for Raph. Is he awake yet?"
Casey shrugged "Haven't heard from 'im yet. Sorry"
"He had a tantrum and then fell asleep. He'll be up and happy in no time, don't worry April" Mikey added.
April sighed and handed the bowl to Mikey "Here, you can have these. I'll just make some more later"
"Spaghetti-O's!" Mikey cheered. Casey huffed and slumped back onto the couch as he watched the orange-banded turtle start to devour the dish that was prepared.
"I'm going to go check on him" April stated as she started up the stairs. She was used to Raph being noisy. He was never quiet. Even in his sleep, he had that famous 'army of chain saw's' snoring that could be heard three blocks away. And when he wasn't sleeping, his tough voice would boom throughout the lair; weather he was yelling at his brothers or just having a simple conversation. April opened the door and glanced into the darkness of the room. She tiptoed her way over to the bed and her 'I'm about to see the cutest thing ever' face turned into confusion and panic. Where was the 13 year old turtle?!
"Uhhh, guys?" April called as she rushed her way out of Raphael's room and back down the stairs "Are you sure he didn't wake up?"
"Yeah… why?" Mikey asked.
April glanced back up at the room and then turned her worried blue eyes back onto the two boys that sat in front of her "Cause he's not there"
"When that summer sun fell to its knees
I looked at her and she looked at me
And I turned on those KC lights and drove all night
'Cause it felt so right, her and I, man we felt so right
Two men sat in a fancy red corvette; both of them singing loudly to the song that boomed out of the radio. The driver drummed the steering wheel as he played along with the beat, while the passenger pounded on the dashboard; nodding his head and singing at the top of his lungs; trying to drowned out the radio's deafening sound with his own.
I put it in park and
Grabbed my guitar
And strummed a couple chords
And sang from the heart
Girl you sure got the beat in my chest bumpin'
I can't get you out of my head
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
They zoomed past a stop light and laughed as the echoing of someone's car horn followed them throughout the night. The street lights were like the disco-ball to their small party as the lights flashed over them everyone now and then; illuminating them in its light, only adding to the fun they were having.
Baby you a song
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise
Down a back road blowin' stop signs through the middle
Every little farm town with you
The next street lamp came and the man in the passenger seats eyes widened.
"JASON! WATCH OUT!" He screamed over the music. The driver swerved as he caught a glimpse of something suddenly appearing on the street. The young turtle's eyes widened which he quickly covered as the car swirled around him.
"Again!" one of the men shouted "Seriously! Animals need to look both ways before they cross the street."
Raph gulped down the quick breaths that were escaping his body and started to back up into an alleyway. 'Humans' He thought as he started to sprint to the safety of the shadows. Panic coursed through his body. Humans were not good in Raphael's mind. The two that sat peacefully in his home were an exception. His brothers and Father trusted them, so he had too. But Splinter had always warned them about humans. Not all were as nice as April and Casey.
"Wha- … Where the heck did it go?" A voice asked.
Raphael let out a sigh of relief. He had tried to be sneaky, to be ninja like his brothers, but apparently he was doing it wrong because he had almost gotten hit by a car! Raphael sat down against the wall as he caught his breath. He wanted to go back home now. He had wanted to go help his older brothers with their mission, doing whatever they were doing, but now he just wanted to go back home. He held the spot where his heart was as it pounded quickly. His chest still tight and butterflies still fluttering in his stomach from the scary moment he had just witnessed. Raphael had emerged from the manhole that sat in the middle of the street and had only gotten the cover back on when two bright lights came zooming his way. Now he was hyperventilating in a gross New York alley way
"Wait! There it is!" The butterflies began to flutter faster as his chest clenched tighter. Raph quickly stood up and looked around, trying to find a good-get away route.
"It's a kid!" The other man said "Hey! What are you doing out in the middle of the st-…whoa…"
Raphael pushed his terror down and stood his ground when he realized there was now no escape.
"Hey! He looks just like Raphael!" The other man replied. Raph's eyes widened when his name was mentioned.
"How many brothers did that kid have anyways?" The other asked; seemingly like he completely forgot about the said turtle until he turned back to him "What's your name?"
"Aw man! Don't make friends with it! We just rid of the other one!"
Raph gulped. There was now a silence and he realized they were waiting for him to say something "Who wants to know?" He felt proud of himself of thinking up that one instead of just stuttering his name.
"I'm Jason" Said the slightly bigger one.
"Bruno" Said the other. Bruno leaned up against the wall and glared down at Raph, his arms crossed over his chest. While Jason crouched down to Raph's height and seemed a lot more friendly. "And you are?"
"…R-Raphael…" Raph said uncertainty. He looked at the two men and waited for their reactions.
"Your dad is really original, isn't he?" Bruno laughed. "So what happened to your kid brother? He doin ok?"
Raph looked away from the men. All of his teachings told him to shut up and not tell them anything. But the other half of his mind wanted to tell them and see what would happen. "I'm the youngest" Raph said.
"Wait…" Jason scratched his chin "So, you're the Raphael… that we were with this morning?"
"Jeez, you grew up fast" Bruno added.
Raph tilted his head and gave them a confused look "Uhh…"
"So where are you headed anyways?" Bruno asked. Seeming a lot more friendly.
"I… I'm not sure anymore…" Raph said "Home, I guess."
"Last time we tried to take you home, you said it was secret, then started screaming" Jason reminded them.
Raph scratched his head "Uhh, sorry?"
"We were going to get a movie, we can get some icecream if ya want" Bruno said; gesturing towards the car.
"I- uh" Raph started
"Like the new ride? It's a lot better than the old one" Jason said proudly. He gently pushed Raphael towards it.
"Wait! I gotta… my brothers-"
"You stress too much" Bruno said "Don't worry about your bros. It's just an icecream run. Plus, with the speed you guys grow at, their probably too old to remember ya anyways"
Jason boosted Raph into the car when he was going to slow and then shut the door. "Buckle up kid" He said, and then zoomed back into the empty street.
Raph's eyes widened as he realized what he just let himself do. He was getting turtle napped!
Alright... alright I know... Its like a daja-vu moment and what not, but I have plans, and this part kind of just appeared, OK?! Raph is now 13 now... so that will change things up this time, huh?
Anyways. Things, and I mean A LOT of things will be happening in the next chapter, and I'm really excited for it!
See ya all later!
