Trigger Warning: Homophobia, body shaming self-loathing and Gaslightning

I own nothing except the stuff I made up

This Girl known as Mystery Girl

Raph and Leo had begun their new normal daily ritual of arguing. So, Mikey and Klunk immediately took off to Tiger Claw's Apartment. As the Tiger Mutant was sipping his morning Tea, to wash down the grilled fish he had just eaten. He saw them come in. Mikey groaned.

"Those two again?" Tiger Claw asked.

"Not only that, but my night was also crappy!" Mikey whined. He explained everything about the mutant goldfish and the Orichalcum. Tiger Claw motioned him over. And gave him some rice and veggies, leaving the fish for Mikey to grab of his own volition. Klunk took some rice and fish happily eating.

Mikey ate some fish. But he suddenly heard a grunt and some shifting. He then noticed the Hide-a-bed was out. Mikey tipped-toed and peeked over the top of the couch. Then muffled the yelp that immediately jumped from his throat.

"I know, listen. She's been out there, all alone for who knows how long. Right now, Carol and I are trying to figure out what to do with her." Tiger Claw quietly explained, as Mikey calmed down. Sitting back in his seat.

Mikey thought for a moment as Klunk nuzzled him. "She can't go back, to what's left of the Foot Clan…can she?"

"No. Bebop and Rocksteady have joined Kitsune as you guys said. But they won't let her join them. As for the Leaders. Even if they're out there. They wouldn't take her back. She helped us defeat Shredder. And stopped the Ritual that would've killed your father and made the Shredder unstoppable. She's denied herself the right to continue. Being part of any kind of family they might've had." Tiger Claw finished a bit gravely.

Mikey looked in Cassandra's direction sadly. Before glaring down at his plate. His eyes filled with resolution. "Then maybe she needs a new family."

"What?" Tiger Claw asked flatly blinking.

"I'll explain!" Mikey began.

Frida had just finished her breakfast. As she headed back to her room to change for the day, she was suddenly stopped by Walter the Fox Yokai. "Big Mama wants to see ya, Frida. I'd hurry if I were you." He warned quickly.

"Uh oh," Frida muttered quietly to herself. As she immediately rushed up to the office. And knocked.

"Come in." said her mother in a cold angry voice. Frida nervously opened the door and entered.

"Yes Mother?" she asked worriedly.

"Frida there you are." she said sternly. Not a note of happiness in her voice.

"What's wrong?" Frida asked, letting herself in. Big Mama's only response, was to show off the small Orichalcum piece before looking right into Frida's eyes.

"Am I to understand that this is a piece of my Orichalcum?" she growled.

"Yes. It is Piebald and I retrieved it." Frida explained. "And I Know where-"

"Silence! You are not talking! Except, to tell me how the Turtles stole it? And the truth please." Big Mama asked.

Frida flinched she knew the truth but. It wasn't going to sound good. She sucked in a breath and began to speak. "When you had me working on another project. You forgot to put the security up and-"

"ARE YOU INSINUATING, I MADE THAT MISTAKE!? A MISTAKE SO COSTLY, THAT I WOULD BE SO STUPID AS TO ALLOW IT!?" Big Mama roared. "My Security? I left that too you! How dare you my own, Daughter try to pass the blame to me!"

Frida took a meek step back. And she tried to remember, Big Mama giving her that order. All she could remember was Big Mama leaving before her. Had she just assumed that Big Mama had pressed it?

"You're trying to remember something?" Big Mama asked. Making Frida, flinch a little more and look up. She was glaring unleashed. "You've always had memory problems. And here I thought, you were actually improving. In fact, you've gotten worse at everything. Since that little Spat, we had about the Turtles, taking part in my Battle Nexus Whizbang. Could it be that you're planning to betray me as well?"

"What!? No! I would never!" Frida protested.

"Well, it doesn't feel like it!" Big Mama snarled. "Piebald has lost her job here because of you! Which is unfortunate. As, she was pulling her weight far more than you! Step out of line like this again and I'll be removing your status as my assistant! And you can go back to finding a Suitor!" She growled. "And you will be expected to pick one in spite of your….degeneracy."

"I understand…" Frida muttered hurt.

"Don't give me that tone! It's your own fault, your always so uncomfortable with men! You need to learn to be an actual Lady! Maybe that's what you need to be less shameful. But go on prove me wrong!" Big Mama growled waving her off as Frida held back her tears.

"How could I be so stupid?! I don't need her to hold my hand! I should've known she would've wanted me to do that! If I had just read her mind. They wouldn't have gotten the shard. And now they'll figure out what we have."

Frida's mother put up with her disgusting attraction to women. Her clumsiness and her ugly appearance. How could she be so awful? Just disregard her like that. To have no strong enough connection to really know what she was thinking. She even wrongfully yelled at Big Mama for using Hunchy-Boo. Big Mama was just joking. Frida needed to learn to take a joke. She laid on her bed and decided she needed a break. She took off her Pajamas. Then put on a light teal dress, with long sleeves and a skirt covering her feet.

She then put on her cloaking broach and tapped it. Instantly transforming herself. She loved her human form. It had beautiful raven hair. And pale clear skin not a mark insight. Her eyes, were a beautiful narrow shape with large lips and her beautiful sky-blue eyes.

"It's been said that Spirits can be trapped in a vessel they despise. Is that true for me?" Frida asked herself. She put the thought out of her head for now. And headed out into the city with some human money.

X X X

Lizzie decided she too wanted to wear a cloaking broach! She immediately grabbed one and put it on. Then activated it. She instantly transformed into a young girl, with short black hair. She whined in disappointment when her mask was gone.

"Don't worry Pink, I can fix it." Splinter assured. Using some Ninpo he altered the disguise. turning her hair into a large Ponytail not unlike Karai's. But now sporting a big Pink Bow. This made her look slightly like Karai too. But she had a larger nose looking a bit like Oroku Saki's. Her human form, had a bright pink t-shirt with white frills at and a pink skirt with shorts underneath. And large Pink shoes.

"Looking Good Lizzie!" Krysta said happily wearing her own cloaking broach.

"I am also Pink!" Lizzie declared.

Krysta looked to Splinter who nodded. "Okay, so Pharmacy at the Mall, right?" She asked.

"Yup, I've got my Mom's Card and ID. We just gotta get the Medicine for Casey." April replied.

"Casey?" Lizzie asked.

"She's someone we know. Not exactly a friend but not exactly an enemy either. Maybe something in between. Anyway, Tiger Claw found her sick. And she was attacked by a bunch of thugs and got stabbed."

"Oh no!" Splinter gasped quietly in shock.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad. The knife nicked her liver. But she'll be fine. I heard Mikey actually went over there and healed her when he found out."

"That is good. The last thing we need is more lives lost." Splinter said as Lizzie looked confused.

"Hey Krysta?" Lizzie asked, tapping the other girl on her shoulder.

"Hmm?" the Bluette asked, turning to her. But the conversation was abruptly ended. By Splinter Gasping loudly and pointing across from them. There walking down the street was an Asian Girl in a teal dress. April had seen pictures of his mother before especially in the following Months.

"She kind of looks like…." April began only for Splinter to dart off after her. "SPLINTS!"

"What are you doing!?" Krysta shouted. Immediately the two chased after him. Lizzie doing her best to keep up with them. Splinter had practically knocked over a poor man who was carrying his groceries.

X X X

Frida was looking around wondering what to do with the money. Humans spent money as part of their entertainment. He looked at the bright stores. Maybe some food. No, Mother had told her she seemed to be gaining a lot of weight. She had breakfast though the idea of food was enticing. Her stomach was growling. She shook out the thought. Woman only needed two meals a day right?

Maybe some more human clothes. She couldn't do that without Mother. Who made sure she didn't choose anything bad. Frida groaned. This was easier to the Hidden City. She didn't understand why she had to come here. She sighed, her stomach growling. Something suddenly crashed into her.

She turned to see to her surprise. Was Lou Jitsu, in a red cap. That was turned behind his head. blue jeans barely able to keep around his round waist and legs. And a white and purple splattered shirt. Also straining from his round shape. Although they seemed slightly more lose than before.

"Oh, are you alright?" Frida asked as Lou Jitsu rolled to his feet like a slime Yokai.

"Uhhh Yes!" he said nervously. As he dusted himself off. "I was uh….just in the neighborhood. So…..who are you!?" he asked. His eyes darting around nervously. There was no way, she could give Lou Jitsu an Inkling of who she was.

"I am Erika." Frida lied quickly.

"Uhh, I don't suppose there is a Japanese name. That goes with that?" Lou Jitsu asked, making Frida nervous.

"Why does he want to know that!? Ugghh weird little rat! Okay just think of something You've seen a few of those." Frida thought to herself before landing on one. "Mashima! Yes Erika Mashima!" she said quickly.

"Oh," Splinter replied as he hung his head.

"I'm sorry were you looking for someone?" Frida asked.

"Oh no remind me of someone I know admittedly." Splinter replied. Frida was about to try and shoo him off. Scolding him for just randomly going up to her would work. However before she could speak her stomach growled.

"It's almost lunch time, there's plenty of good restaurants around here. I can recommend-" Splinter began only for Frida to cut her off.

"No! I mean thank you, I'm good. Trying to watch my figure." Erika replied.

"Oh, well take these." Splinter said holding up an extra box of them. That he had packed for himself. Keeping his own original Box and Lizzie's.

Frida opened the Box. And saw round dough like balls inside instantly the smell of meat and vegetables hit her nose.

"One of my two famous dishes. Meat and veggie dumplings. The other Green Bean Casserole." Splinter said. "Both Nutritious and delicious!"

"Are you sure its okay for me to have this?" Frida asked.

"Yes, you look a bit thin honestly. You'll need it more than I do." Splinter replied patting his gut jokingly.

"Thin?" Frida was surprised to hear this. "No matter what she did. She just seemed to be getting fatter. But she didn't want to seem suspicious. She took a bite. Then, instantly her mouth was filled with a symphony of savory and salty flavors but balanced perfectly. She ate them ravenously.

"These are amazing!" Frida gasped. She even immediately felt her body feeling better. As she ate all three. She felt bad for eating them all. But she had to keep up the act.

"I'm glad you like them. Now I should-"

"SPLINTER!" shouted the two girls of Krysta and April who jumped into the air and landed on him putting their full weight on the poor Rat man. As they grinned nervously at her.

"We are so sorry about him!" April declared.

"Yeah, he's a little crazy!" Krysta added. As she pushed down a Rat hand that was rising up trying to get free. Lizzie had showed up just then. And began starring at the girl before her.

"It's fine really, we were just talking." Frida assured. "I'm Erika by the way."

"Names April, O'Neil! This is Krysta!" April as the two finally got off of Splinter. Who groaned standing up looking a bit wobbily.

"Sup, you already met Splinter." Krysta replied.

"Yeah, actually. I'm wondering if he has sons?" she asked. "I'd like to know more about-"

"SISTER!" Lizzie suddenly screamed out in joy and clamped onto her. The three freaked out and began pulling them apart. Lizzie gripped harder as Frida began to struggle. "MY SISTER!" she grunted in resistance. As Splinter began lifting up one of her fingers. Eventually they all pulled apart. Frida took this chance and ran off.

"Lizzie what have you done! That was very bad!" Splinter snapped at her glaring and shaking his finger.

"But that was my Sister…" Lizzie protested more quietly. She hung her head tearing up.

"Let's get the medicine and talk to Mikey." Krysta said helping the two up. "Just don't hug people like that again. Okay? You don't know how they're gonna react." She explained.

"Okay…." Lizzie muttered sadly. She followed behind the group sadly. They picked up the Antibiotics and headed back to April's apartment.

X X X

Once there and the human disguises down. Carol let them inside. She had been talking with Mikey. Who was looking a bit better, than when Splinter last saw him. He noticed a small brown paper bag. With familiar papers stapled to it. "I thought Tiger Claw had medicine for her."

"For the Fever she picked up yes. But she's stilling going to need the Antibiotics and pain meds. I think anyway." Tiger Claw then noticed the Former Foot Clan recruit doing crunches. He grabbed her by her shirt collar and lifted her up. Turning Casey to look at him. "Don't do that, the Magic wasn't perfect."

Casey hissed and crossed her arms and legs pouting as Tiger Claw sighed and put her down. "We're going to have to socialize her aren't we?" Krysta asked.

"Girl you know it." April muttered to her.

"Tiger Claw's right Casey. I never really learned." Mikey said to the Girl in the bed who swallowed a dose of medicine, begrudgingly. "And most of my power went, to blowing things up." Mikey huffed. Draxum made sure it was wired that way." He added bitterly.

"Maybe Lizzie could learn." Krysta suggested turning to the small Turtle. Who let out a hmph and looked down.

"What's wrong Liz?" Mikey asked.

"I'm bad so they yelled at me." Lizzie grumbled.

"Huh?" Mikey asked blinking in surprise.

"She hugged a stranger in the street. It was a first name basis but still. But the strangest part that she says that girl, was her sister?" Krysta asked.

"IT WAAASS!" Lizzie whined.

"Maybe her powers, picked up on something you guys couldn't." Mikey suggested. This made Lizzie perk up.

"YAY!" she cheered, hugging Mikey.

"What do you mean?" April asked as Mayhem sat on her shoulder. Casey seemed to look over in interest. She had been told about Lizzie. But Casey didn't seem interested in interacting with the New Mad Dogz member. Mikey managed to pull Lizzie off of him.

"She has powers similar to Jerry. She can read minds and sense intentions. As we saw with…Franken Foot." Mikey sighed.

Splinter nodded thinking about the event himself. "But these kinds of powers are mysterious. It's improbable to have two or more People with them in the same Generation." Splinter replied. "Orange you should take her to talk with Shinji."

"The Sacred Guard does have to know about these things. Okay! We'll be back. Come on Lizzie." Mikey called. Lizzie perked up and followed him. Krysta sat beside Casey with a friendly smile on her face.

"So, Casey how have you been doing?" She asked.

"What do you want?" Casey barked.

"Uuh just to talk. Maybe we can just find something. That, you'd like to do with your friends. You said you had some?" Krysta asked.

"Bebop and Rocksteady. And a few friends from Elementary School." Casey huffed. "If you must know. Most of our missions were tending to Fire and Icing. And Missions for the Foot. Anything else I barely remember. It was too long ago."

"So, you haven't been a kid in while huh." Krysta muttered a bit sympathetically.

"Are you psychoanalyzing me?" Casey growled.

"What no! That's Carol's job!" Krysta laughed, nervously looking shifty. "But you probably need to brush up on your people skills."

"Hmph." Cassandra huffed.

"Okay, let's try this." Krysta replied. "F is for friends who do stuff together. U is for you and me…." Krysta sang gesturing to Casey to join.

Casey belted out in a deep loud aggressive singing voice. "N is for no, Surviiiivors when you-"

"Okay, no, stop!" Krysta shouted, getting frustrated now. "New, ground rule! No violent crimes or body evisceration on random people of any kind! And no eating or ripping off faces!"

For some reason that made Krysta actually angry now. Was Casey slowly lifting up the Rope, Tape and Burlap sack she kept with her for this long. As if to ask if they counted. Krysta immediately took them. Stuffed the rope and Tape into the bag, tied the mouth in a knot and threw it out the window.

After that the two girls, glared at each other angrily.

Mikey knocked on the door of Mona's apartment. Opening up was Shinji. Lizzie gasped and looked at him. "I want to hug you!" Lizzie muttered, her face tinging red.

"Uhh, what?" Shinji the black cat Yokai asked backing away nervously.

"Sorry! I think this is the first time she's seen a guy that isn't us." Mikey said nervously keeping a hold on his sister who's eyes were starry and happy. "I was wondering if you could do me a favor." He said as he whispered to Lizzie that he wasn't interested. And that Leo would explain what she was feeling later. As they entered. Mikey looked at how big it was.

"Wow you are able to fit several people in here!" Mikey muttered.

"Yeah, it's a Condo. The original owner was practically giving it away because of a Ghost. Once I did a purification ritual I could relax!" Mona declared happily. "And it works as a New York Base for the Guard! Which is nice because the place felt kind of empty. The Red Dragon Girl sighed.

"When did you get a sister?" Slash asked kneeling towards Lizzie. And realizing they were Biologically brother and Sister too.

Lizzie looked around at the Guard curiously. "Lizzie these are our friends. Mona Lisa, Slash, Satoshi, Shinji and Goku."

"Hey there Kid!" Goku cheered hanging down from a pole that had been hung in the ceiling with his tail.

"Goku Get down!" Satoshi scolded as the Monkey scoffed and jumped down. "I told you not to do that. The ceiling won't hold."

"I'm the one that has to pay for it." Mona snapped. Lizzie wasn't listening. She was interested in Slash. Even not paying attention to Shinji anymore.

"How come Slash looks so much like Raph?" Lizzie asked.

"Oh well," Slash muttered looking embarrassed. "You didn't tell her?" he hissed at Mikey with growl. Who realized what he meant and gulped.

"Oh yeah, there's been a lot going on my bad." Mikey apologetically said. But he did wonder if Draxum had grabbed a variety of Turtles for trail ones. As one does in science. But it was very possible for him to have grabbed two if he had banked money on how fierce and powerful Raph looked. And those two had come out looking like Draxum's ideal warriors. Mikey hissed bitterly at the thought.

"Hey sis I'll explain later. But can you help Shinji with something right now?" He asked. Lizzie gasped excitedly nodding yes wildly.

Shinji had her sit in a rune that shone brightly scanning her powers that were glowing a bright Magenta color around her in the middle. The two lights danced with each other as Lizzie laughed. "It tickles."

"Yeah, it'll do that, but try not to move too much okay?" Mona asked.

"Okay." Lizzie replied. "I don't want to have my insides burnt!" she replied happily ignoring the tickling. Which surprised the group.

"Dark," Goku muttered.

"She has a very rare and unique set of powers. You almost never seen them. Even Yokai go their hole lives never meeting someone with them." Shinji hummed.

"Well, I know two now. There's Jerry the horrible Monkey. And my sister, Elizabeth."

"Hamato Elizabeth!" Lizzie declared happily.

"If you already knew. Why come to me?" Shinji asked.

"Well, I was hoping that you can help me, figure out how to train her. If we don't get her powers under control. And they go out of control like our Ninpo did….I don't want to think about that. And I probably can't. So, I was hoping you had some ideas."

"There are ways." Shinji replied giving him a deck of cards. "For starters have her train with these Zener cards. Humans used them to try and detect Psychic Powers in other humans. But It's impossible for humans to get them. To this extent at least. And the Cards they made don't work. But these should as they're Yokai made." Shinji explained.

"Roger that!" Mikey declared chipperly taking the cards. He stored them in his shell.

"Come on Lizzie let's head back." Mikey said.

"But I want to hug Shinji like you hug Krysta!" Lizzie said. Mikey felt his thoughts shatter as he turned a bright shade of red. His markings glowed a bright pink. It had occurred to him just now. That hugging was how she was expressing love. He retracted into his shell with a flustered squeak. All that came out were nervous squeaks. And Mikey couldn't have gotten back himself now.

"I've got him." Slash said, picking him up. Fortunately, Shinji seemed to figure this out as well.

"Lizzie I'm very flattered. But you can't really have a partner that's way older than you. You should probably wait a couple years yourself." Shinji said politely to Elizabeth who groaned in defeat. Slash picked her up and began walking back to April's apartment with them.

"Asking about your brothers! How could you be so stupid!? You know they're too far gone!" Frida hissed at herself as she changed back into the dress Big Mama would have her true form wear. A dreary purplish grey-dress. It had the same bright purple ascot and green jewel as Big Mama wore with pale grey cuffs.

As she went towards the dining hall. She thought about having those three large dumplings. That Lou Jitsu had given her. And the tiny portions that her mother had given in comparison. And kind of hated it. Wanting more food. Frida shook her head. How could she think that way!? It was for her own benefit. In fact, she had gobbled those damn things like a little Piglet.

"Frida?" She heard her mother and turned to Big Mama looking a bit concerned.

"Oh I'm, sorry. I was just thinking. How awful I am. It's amazing that you put up with such an Ugly, gluttonous, degenerate, troublemaker like me." Frida sighed sadly.

Big Mama cooed and hugged her. "It's because I Have such a big Heart Turtley-Boo. You simply need to try harder."

"I will, let's go eat, shall we?" Frida asked as Big Mama smiled and nodded and they headed to the Dining Hall together. "I'm proud to be your daughter."

"I know sweetums," Big Mama replied.

As Frida slept that night. She began to have a nightmare. She was in complete darkness only for intense sounds and screaming to occur around her. There was an explosion. She screamed only to be scooped up onto a large white paw. She held for dear life. Shivering, wildly as whatever she was on, escaped into the intensely hot place. But after that there was just a void. A Ghost in an Emerald Green light. The human Woman that she had fought and lost too. During the last moments of the Nexus Whizbang. The one with long black hair in a ponytail.

"You do not belong with that witch! Flee! Return to your true family!" The voice said. Frida shouted a no. as an intense aqua colored aura surged around her. The Woman looking worried and sad as she was blocked by the aura. Frida immediately woke up in a cold sweat. It happened again. Ever since the terrorist attack as the Humans of New York were calling it. Had occurred three months ago. The Night after she began having the same dream over and over again.

"Who are you…." Frida asked the woman to herself in sheer Terror!

So Frida gets incredibly small portions. Smaller than they say you should have. And Big Mama has used Starvation as a punishment.

To Be Continued….
