I do not own TMNT.(Donnie will be mine one day...)I own Viper and the idea behind her.
"Yes!" I threw my hands up, a giant grin on my face. "That's three times in a row Mikey. You're losing your touch."
"Beginners luck." Mikey did his best to hide the smile creeping up his face. "Just Wait till-" Mikey stopped abruptly, looking over my shoulder. I turned around around, curious, as to what it was.
"Oh hey Donnie." I smiled "What's up?"
"Just thought I should check on you." Donnie glanced at the controller in my hand. "Wait, don't tell me Mikey convinced you to play with him."
I shrugged. "I don't mind, besides." I grinned again. "I'm kicking his butt."
"Beginners luck." Mikey huffed, looking back at the TV.
Donnie chuckled. "Sure. It's not like you have years of practice Mikey."
Mikey started a one-player game. "Don't make me tickle you like I did to Viper over here."
"Is that- wait you tickled Viper?" Donnie asked confused.
"She snitched me out to Raph, what else could I do?"
"Viper do your ribs hurt?" Donnie asked, looking worried.
"Nooo...Why would they-" I stopped. "Donnie you said they were bruised, should they have healed that fast?"
"No, not if I as correct. I swore they should have taken at least a couple of weeks to heal..." He turned to walk away.
"Viper would you mind if I ran a couple of tests?"
I froze at the prospect, my nightmares flashing in the back of my mind.
"No." I lied. I could feel my palms sweating, my knees shaking slightly as I stood up.
I followed after Donnie.
"Sit over in that chair will you?" I obliged, trying to calm my nerves.
Donnie won't hurt you. Calm down, he's not like them.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Slowing my heart rate, only to have it spike again upon opening my eyes to see Donnie messing with a syringe.
He turned around and looked at me. "Sorry, I have no other way to test my theory other than purposely causing a wound."
"So you're telling me that if I were to get hurt you could check that way?"
"Ya, but it would have to be something like a cut or- What are you doing!"
I had picked up a scaple on a nearby table. I slashed a gash in my arm. I was shaking holding the scaple, but at least it was less terrifying than a needle.
"Are you crazy!" Donnie confiscated the scaple. "What were you thinking!"
He grabbed a clean rag and quickly tried to stop the bleeding.
I winced, clenching my fists.
"Stay here while I go get Mikey, lately you only seem to listen to him."
I sat on my makeshift bed putting pressure on my wound like Donnie had just done. I thought about what Donnie had said. It was true, I usually only listened to Mikey. The boys had unofficially given him the job of watching over me and making sure I would eat my tasteless goop.
"Viper!"
I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Raph?" I said meekly, suddenly feeling extremely small. He looked angry, no, he looked pissed.
He forcefully pulled my hand and the cloth away from my upper left arm. I looked away feeling suddenly like a kid who just got caught stealing the last piece of chocolate cake.
"Raph I-"
"You what! You thought it was ok to...to...To do this!"
"I didn't want the needle." I said closing my eyes. I couldn't stop the images and sounds of that horrid place. My screams echoing off the walls, the pain. So much pain.
"I don't care what excuse you try to use. There's no good reason for what you did."
I saw her face in the back of my mind.
"Sis, what did I do? Why did I do to deserve this?" She looked up at me with a desperate look. Tears streaming out of those big blue eyes. "Why didn't they love us?"
I began to cry.
Why did she call me sis? What had happened to her. To me. To us.
Raph sighed covering the gash, holding the, now blood seeped rag firmly in place.
"Viper... just...please don't do it again."
Mikey rushed through the doors. "Viper? Viper what happened?!"
I looked up at Mikey, now giving a pleading look of my own.
Help.
"Ok, dudes give me and V a minute."
"Mikey I need to clean the cut, make sure it doesn't need stitches, not to mention-" Donnie stopped seeing the look in his eyes. "Raph... let's go..."
They left quietly, shutting the door behind them.
Mikey encased me in a hug. "Shhh...Shhh...Don't cry..."
I sobbed pitifully in his arms.
"They won't stop Mikey." I hiccupped, my body shaking uncontrollably.
"Those walls, the constant pain, her pleas, her cries. Mikey...I think she's my sister."
"...You do?"
I nodded. "She called me her sister in one of my flashes. Mikey if that's true...she's dead...What...What do I do Mikey? I'm so lost."
"I don't know. But I'll help you find out." He promised.
I fell asleep in his arms still crying.
(A.N.- No, I will not be shipping them! Nor will I do it with any other of the turtles! Though I might have some fun teasing you!)
I woke up in a bed. No, not my make shift one. A real bed. I had no memory of the feeling of sleeping in one, so it was a new first.
I rolled over the room was blank and empty except for the shopping bags of stuff April had gotten me, a desk with nothing on it, and a bed stand with an alarm clock.
10:23 P.M.
What had happened? Why did my head hurt so bad, why was I in a real bed?
I suddenly remembered what had happened. I sat up and looked at the white bandage on my arm. I curiously opened it up . It looked mostly healed. I frowned. Well that wasn't normal.
I got out of bed and put on a t-shirt and a set of black leggings. I opened the drawers of my bedstand. A set of Bluetooth headphones and a music player of some sort sat in the bottom drawer. I picked the note up that sat next to it.
Thought you might like this. Since I don't know what type of music you like I downloaded a bunch. Hope you don't mind.
-Mikey
I shrugged and turned it on. I somehow knew how to work it, kinda like how someone knows how to eat, you just do.
I looked over a few names of some of the songs before putting it back. I left the room quietly looking around the lair for the guys. They were nowhere to be seen. I slumped down on the couch with a sigh.
I soon felt my mind wandering, not surprisingly, they landed on the mysterious girl of my broken memories.
Her tear stained face haunting me in sleep and in wake. If they were my memories that would mean she was my sister, that would also mean...she...was dead.
Just great, the only family I might have and they're dead. Well isn't this great.
I couldn't sit around anymore, I needed to do something. I made my way to the dojo. I had seen the boys go in there, but never gone in there myself. I looked around the room.
It looked like a normal training room, well, other than the giant tree in the room.
I made my way over to the wall, looking at the selection of blades and weapons. Some were decorated, some looked like ancient relics, and others looked completely normal.
So many to chose from. Suddenly my eyes landed on a set of two feet long blades. I picked them up, and like magic, something clicked.
I began to twist and turn around the room, closing my eyes as I swung the two blades. My pace picked up as I turned left and right. Nothing had felt so familiar.
Not just the movements, but the blades themselves. I knew somewhere inside me I had held them before. I slashed as though I was fighting a openet.
Left. Right. Dodge. Attack.
Swift. Fluid. Strong. Precise.
"Viper!"
I suddenly stopped, dropping the blades to the floor.
Leo rushed in sweeping them off the floor and back onto the wall.
"Where... how...why..." He looked confused and scared.
"Viper." He started again, his back turned away from me. "What are you doing in here?"
"I-I needed something to do." This was bad. What did I do?
"What's going on in here?" I looked over at Mikey as he walked in. I quickly ran over to him, half way hiding behind him.
"I swear I didn't know I was doing something-"
"Viper, grab those blades again."
"Leo why-"
"Just do it." He said quietly.
I made my way over to the wall, away from Mikey. I picked the twin blades up and turned to Leo. He got in a battle stance.
"Leo what are you do- Ah!" I jumped out of the way as he attacked. I continued to jump this way and that away from Leo's barrage of attacks. I quickly fell into what felt like a dance.
"Leo stop!" I hit back feeling mad and confused. I came at him full force. His eyes went wide before they went into determined slits.
"Leo that's enough!" Mikey stepped in front, causing us to halt.
Mikey and Leo glared at each other.
"Don't tell me you don't see it!" Leo yelled.
"Shut up! Viper has never hurt us."
"Is that so, I think this says other whys!"
"What are you shell heads yelling about?" Raph said walking in.
I could feel my eyes welling up. I dropped the blades and ran. I made my way to the bathroom. I locked myself in and went over to the mirror to wash my face off with cold water. I looked up at my reflection. I yelped, covering my mouth.
One of my eyes were purple, the other black.
I fell to the ground crying.
Help. Someone help me.
Hey guys! I know it took forever to update, and know don't when I will again. Any way, so, what do you think? How did I do? Was it worth the wait? Please review!
