Chapter #53

*Monday April 25th, 2016. Outside the Blair University*

Sam pushed open the door, well, barely managed to get herself through the tiny crack she was able to make when pushing the door with her shoulder.
She was about to keep walking, but then she groaned.
"Ughhhhh I have to wait. Leo's late" she said as she collapsed onto a nearby bench.

Sam was exhausted and just wanted to walk herself home, but she knew she would never hear the end of it if she did that.
She was almost done her first year of college, and this current semester was so close to the end that she could feel it, but with all the work she needed to complete for 5 classes and then adding dance rehearsals and soccer practices on top of that, she was barely ever sleeping.
She refused to say this to anyone though. She didn't want anyone freaking about her health or safety or whatever, so she would secretly walk home from the campus library or from rehearsals and practices all by herself.
She had been doing this since her first month from her first semester and everything had been fine, but then there was one night where some douchebag jocks decided to change that.

Sam had left the one of the dorm buildings after working with a few other classmates on an upcoming project at the time, and a few jocks decided they were going to mess with her and try to convince her to go back with them to their dorm.
Of course, Sam was ready to kick their asses, but she also couldn't use her powers and reveal her abilities to these guys, so she could only fight with her regular hand to hand combat skills. She also left her tonfa at home because…well honestly she was so involved with daily things that she was completely forgetting to sneak them around with her. It wasn't her best moment, and while she was able to hold her own, she got bruised up a bit.
Things would have been fine, she knew how to use concealer to cover up some cuts and bruises…but then one of the jocks, being flat out drunk, grabbed a baseball bat and whacked her knee and made her collapse. When she tried to get up, she was punched in the face.
There must have been a greater power watching over her that night because when she woke up, not only did she realize that she had a bloody nose, but she realized that there were four mutant turtles tying up the group of 7 jocks writing 'rapist' and 'predator' on their foreheads in Sharpie.
While Sam was eternally grateful for their help, she knew then and there that she was figuratively fucked.

Of course, being the concerned brothers they were, they informed Jay immediately and all 5 had a talk with her where they learned that she had been walking home by herself multiple different times throughout her college experience.
Well, that was never going to happen ever again. So they made it very clear to Sam that if she stayed out at a time where the sun had gone down, she MUST walk home with one of the turtles. Of course, if she walked home with a group or another guy friend, that was fine, but if not, then she needed to contact the guys.
Overall she didn't mind this, especially since she almost never saw them anymore. She texted each of them throughout the weeks, but it could be hours or even days before she was able to reply back because of how busy she was. Moments like this made her wish to a certain extent that she could escape the real world and just live underground with them all the time. It would be much easier and she would much rather be scouting for criminals and the Foot than completing tests and writing papers.
Honestly, if it wasn't for soccer and dance then she probably wouldn't even be in college. She was interested in a vast variety of topics, but nothing that she wanted to dedicate the rest of her life towards. Knowing this, she didn't have any objections about having to walk home with one of the guys. Sometimes they came in groups, but usually they would walk her home one on one so that they could actually spend some quality time with their sister. Of course, this meant that it took even longer for them to see her since she didn't need an escort home every night, but it had become a fun occasion that each of the brothers was always looking forward to.

There were some annoying parts of the deal though, tonight's dilemma being one of them.
Sam was dead tired and honestly could fall asleep on the bench she was on right now…which now made her realize that she was laying down and not sitting up.
She quickly sat up and then grabbed the sides of her head. Sitting up that fast from embarrassment was making her head spin and see stars. Now she felt like her body was shaking…wait…something was shaking.
Sam began patting different parts of her body as she searched for her phone and then found it in a jacket pocket.
"Huh?" she said dully and emotionless as she answered the phone.
"Hey. I'm at the spot. Walk down the street some. I'll be in the alley way" Leo stated through the phone.
"Uh-huh" Sam said, nodding as if Leo could actually see her.
She then stood up and began to walk down the stairs…and the quickly regretted that as she stumbled and held onto the railing for dear life as she carefully dragged her feet down the stairs, never actually lifting them from the ground because she knew that would make her trip and fall on her face.
After what felt like forever, she finally reached the meeting spot where Leo was hiding in the shadows. Well, Sam thought he was in the shadows and started calling out to no one.
Leo then jumped down behind her and made Sam jump and stumble, luckily being caught by Leo himself before Sam fell.
"What is wrong with you?" he asked, confused and concerned.
"You, you weren't over there?" Sam said, pointing and turning multiple times to the shadows where she assumed Leo was hiding.
Leo shook his head and smirked.
"Man you need to get home and sleep."
"Noooooo I need to study for my test in two days. I don't have time to study before the test because I have rehearsals on the same day and then I have a paper to write that I haven't even started and then I have a game tomorrow night" Sam groaned, as she then fell forward, without realizing she was falling at all.
Leo caught her and then gently pushed her back so that she was standing up straight again.
"Man you touch people a lot, like whoa" Sam mumbled.
"Oh you're one to talk" Leo said with eyes wide as he turned around. "Come on, you're gonna hurt yourself if you walk home" he said.
"Ughhhh I don't wanna jump! Too much work!"
Leo sighed as he then crouched down lower.
"Oh much better" Sam said as she climbed onto Leo's back.
"Hold on tight" he said.

He then removed a nearby manhole cover and climbed down the ladder. He continued to carry Sam until eventually she had a little bit more energy and insisted that she walk home.
"So how have trainings been? Since I never even get to train anymore" she pouted.
"They're good. Renet apparently insists on watching us train as much as she possibly can now and is pretty much in the lair with us every free moment she gets on the weekends" he said with a chuckle.
"Does she actually do anything?" Sam asked.
"Of course not. The kid will be 5 this Thursday, we wouldn't let her do anything dangerous like that even if her parents gave her permission."
"She still did workouts with Raph though, right?"
"Oh yeah" he said putting his hands behind his head. "She's taking that seriously according to her parents."
"Kids got grit, you gotta give her that" Sam laughed. "When was the last time you saw the baby?"
"Hmmmm it's been a couple weeks now. Every once in a while Jay and Brenda ask if we can help babysit and of course we say yes. Without Shredder and his crew around the crime has definitely gone down, so we have a bit more free time."
"Oh only a bit?" Sam questioned as a means to tease.
"Well crime doesn't just disappear, especially since there are gangs that are beginning to surface since they think territories are open since Shredder is gone."
Sam nodded and pursed her lips. "So Donnie hasn't discovered anything in relation to anyone's whereabouts?"
Leo looked down as he shook his head. "He's been searching for any hint of what Karai or Hun have been up to. He's wondering if they escaped and went back to Japan. If that's the case then he thinks there's an even higher chance that more gangs are going to start appearing since there won't be anyone around to put them in their place. So we haven't had to fight as much as we used to, but there are still moments where he's able to track criminal activity and we've been able to stop it before it gets too serious. Of course chief Vincent is loving us for that" he joked.
"So she and the cops aren't getting frustrated that you guys are owning them by doing their job?" she asked.
Leo tensed up some. "Casey said there's been some talk from officers who don't know we exist and they're getting frustrated. But the officers that saw us have been quiet because they understand who we are and what we're doing."
"That's good…you guys will update if you hear anything about Karai or Hun, or whatever…right?" she asked nervously.
Leo paused as the two continued to walk. "Yes" he then finally said in a higher voice.
Sam stopped and threw her hands down at her sides. "DUDE! That's not fair!"
"What? I said yes" Leo said as he then turned away rather quickly.
"Yeah, in the most obvious 'we're not going to tell you a damn thing' way" she argued.
"Well what did you expect? You're in college, you're working towards your future. What are you going to do if Karai just shows up when you're in the middle of taking a test?"
"Leave!" Sam announced bluntly. "Obviously stopping someone from taking over the world is much more important" she said, jogging so she could now catch up with Leo.

"Sam-"
"You seriously won't keep me updated?" she said, a hurt look displayed on her face.
"You know we'll always provide you with information to keep you safe" Leo said somberly, knowing that wasn't what his friend wanted to hear.
"But you won't tell me anything in regards to keeping others safe and taking down the serious criminals" she said as she turned and began to walk ahead of him.
"Are you really getting upset about this? You know you're different from us-"
"I'm a mutant now to" she said as she swiftly turned back around.
"Yeah, one with a chance at a life up top. There's a lot of things you have the opportunity to do and I dare you to tell me that that's not what you want" he said sternly.
"But…fighting with you guys is part of my life, a huge part of my life" she said softly.
"There will be time for you to fight with us, and if something huge happens then we're going to need you. But until something huge like Kraang or Shredder returning happens, then you need to focus on you. Your life. You future" he said as he put his hand on her shoulder. He looked at her in straight in the eyes as she now tilted her head up. "We're not going anywhere" he said sincerely. "You'll always know where to find us. Fighting with us is always going to be a part of your life, but for you it just can't be every second of your day" he said with a sincere smile.
Sam couldn't help but smile herself.
"I just miss…fighting, in a weird way. Which is probably horrible to say" she said, turning her head away from Leo in embarrassment.
"It's not" he reassured, "your life has been flipped upside down and in every direction possible because of crime and violence. I'm sure it's weird moving on from that and acting like life is normal when you're sitting in a lecture hall with tons of other people that are texting and gossiping."
"Hmph, it's like you read my mind. Typical for a Jay junior" she teased.
"That's what brothers do" he said as he threw his arm around her and pulled her down some, as if starting to fight. "Can we go home now?" he asked.
"Awwww you hate serious talks so much, don't you?" Sam asked in a baby-like voice.
"Ahh you know how to ruin moments" he teased as he then let her stand back up, just to nudge her out of his way.
The two continued to bicker and tease all the way until Leo walked Sam back up to her room.
"Now sleep!" Leo demanded.
"Heh, not even Jay could make me sleep at a reasonable hour" she said with an evil grin.
"I will literally spend the night here and will make your life miserable until you sleep" he said with a straight face.
Sam sighed. "You really mean that, don't you?" she groaned.
"You bet" he said with a fake smile.
"Fine!" she said "I guess I'll shower and go to sleep. You know, unless you want to stay and watch that as well since you want to spend the night here so much" she said with a cocky smile as she crossed her arms and leaned against the side of her window frame.
"If that's what it takes" he said, tilting his head and holding his arms out to the side of him.
"Well you've grown comfortable" Sam scoffed.
Leo tilted his head some more. "What?"
"You used to low-key freak out or like shudder when I made comments like that. Now you're like Raph and Mikey and just roll with it."
Leo paused for a moment, reminiscing on past times when Sam was still a new part of their life and when she would make comments like this. Did he really react that way?
"You don't remember reacting that way ever, do you?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Honestly, no. I mean, we've had so many conversations in the past two years now since it officially has been 2 years and a week today since we all met you."
"Wow, down to the dot since the time we all punched each other. What a greeting" she said with a laugh.
"Well Mikey made it clear on the 18th that it had been two years. Man, we were 15 when we met you, we really are strong for putting up with you for so long" he said in playful arrogance.
"Oh shut up. You all love me! That's why you all stayed in my apartment until 4 a.m. and risked being seen so that you could see me on my birthday a few weeks ago on the 4th."
"Yeah, I guess you're pretty important. Still sucked we couldn't see you on the 18th though" he said as he pursed his lips.
Sam displayed the same expression as she looked down. "Yeah. I know. One day college will be over and I can go back to seeing you guys all the time…or I could just drop ou-"
"Not a chance" Leo said with a glare.
"Okay, okay" Sam said with her hands up.
"You're worth waiting for Sam. Like I said, we're not going anywhere. Once you're free for summer break then things will be the same again" Leo reassured.
"Yeah, but I'm also the most impatient person you've ever met" she said with an apologetic smile.
"Well, you are older than us. So be the mature 18 year old you should be" he said as he now stood up from the ledge he had been sitting on. "Well, I can tell by the color of your eyes that you're officially getting tired, so I'm gonna head down" Leo said.
"Wait" Sam called after him as she quickly climbed through her window and then threw her arms around the turtle in blue.
Leo hugged the girl back, but he couldn't smile while doing so and neither could she. Both knowing that it would probably be a good while before the two saw each other again.
"Contact us if you ever need anything" he reassured softly.
"Same with you guys" she said.
"You better ace your test on Thursday or I'm gonna kick your ass" Leo stated, trying to end the mini reunion on a good note and with a laugh, which he succeeded in gaining.
"Deal" Sam said as she pulled back and headed into her room. She smiled as she looked through the glass of the window and then shut the curtains, the signal that she was safe and that Leo could officially leave.

The two parted ways, not knowing when they would officially get to see each other again.

*Tuesday April 26th, 2016. 2a.m. in the morning*

Raph hid on top of the balcony, growing more and more annoyed. He had received a text from Kris that he had a few friends who had gotten ridiculously drunk and that he was going to take an Uber with them back to their (the friend's) place to make sure they got home safe. The men's and women's soccer teams for Blair had won against a usually very tough opponent from a rival college, so of course people on both teams and also throughout the university were partying like crazy. Sam had attended this party, convinced by the ladies on her team who encouraged her to go. She decided to go when she knew that people she could trust like Kris would be there, but right now she was drunk out of her mind and had no idea that he was not even still in the building. While Sam loved her teammates, some of them definitely were not the most trustworthy and were a little to hardcore and dangerous in the way they liked to party.
Knowing this, Kris contacted the guys to let them know of Sam's whereabouts so that they could keep an eye on her. Tonight was Raph's turn to see her so he offered to go, but at the time he didn't realize that meant he would be waiting outside for Sam to leave for hours.

"God this is so annoying" he groaned as she crunched a hand weight in his hand.
He had been watching from a nearby building so that he could see into the windows and track where Sam was while she was at the party…but after turning away for just a second, he had lost her.
"Ah, shit" he mumbled as he scanned all the available space of the rooms that was made visible from his position.
He then looked down below as he saw a woman walk out of the building crying, and his eyes went wide when he saw the woman heading towards a still very busy street even with it being so early in the morning.
He quickly leapt off the side of the building and then swung himself from the rail outside the window of an apartment and launched himself behind the darker side of a light post where he then launched a bladeless chain sickle that wrapped around the woman and then pulled her back towards a dark alley and as far away from the street as possible.
Raph sighed a huge sigh of relief after hearing the woman groan, showing that she would be soar and winded, but she would be okay.

He then leapt down and slowly walked over towards where the woman was now laying on her back. He then saw two blue lights begin to glow.
At first he was very confused, but as he walked closer, the wheel in his head began to turn.
"Oh come on. Sam?" he asked.
The lights were now facing him. "How do you know me?" she asked in furry.
"It's me you idiot" he groaned aloud.
Sam then stumbled to stand up as she quickly walked up to the turtle and stood eye to eye with him, way too close to his face for Raph's comfort.
She then took a step back as the blue light faded from her eyes.
"RAPHHHHH!" Sam shouted as she threw her hands up.
"Jesus keep quiet" he angrily whispered as he covered her mouth with his hand. "Man you're wasted, aren't you?"
"Raphhhhh, Kris left without me" Sam whined. "Like, what? What kind of friend does that? You would never do that to me, right?" she said as she slumped against him.
"Never" he groaned as he picked the girl up and threw her over his shoulder.
"Whooaaaaa when did you get so strong?" she asked in amazement.
"When you got so annoying" he mumbled.
"You have to talk louder! I can't hear you!" she shouted, her lips literally an inch away from the side of his head. Her strength powers kicking in at random moments and making it difficult for Raph to keep a decently comfortable distance between the two of them.
"Sewer route it is" he said to himself. He was going to walk along some darker streets, but with Sam shouting the way she was then he knew he needed to travel underground where it wouldn't be easy for people to visually spot the shouting voice.

Drunk Sam was definitely…interesting.
For one, she never shut up. She was talking about her family, then about her friends from the Foot that she still saw throughout each week while she was in college. She talked about how there were 3 women in particular that she had grown close to that weren't in the Foot but were related to friends of hers that were. She talked about soccer and dance and fearing she would fail all her classes even though she busted ass to pass them all the time.
"Man you talk a lot" he huffed.
He then turned to her, realizing that for five seconds she had actually remained silent. That's when his eyes went wide as he saw the girl start to cry.
"You hate me" she said as she began sobbing.
"Aw man" Raph said, tilting his head back. He had never really dealt with drunk people. Now that he was friends with Casey, he and Mikey had had a few experiences where they gotten a taste of alcohol, but none of them ever got flat out drunk, just a little bit tipsy at times (of course Leo and Donnie never knew about any of this). Because of this, he had no idea how he should act around a drunk person, especially since Casey said that there were different types of drunks.

'Why couldn't she be a sleepy drunk? That would make this much easier' he thought to himself.
He then realized Sam was beginning to storm off down a tunnel that the group didn't use.
"Whoa hold up" he said as he went to grab her arm, something a sober Sam wouldn't mind. A drunk Sam however went from sobbing to furious.
"Don't touch me! Who do you think you are?!" she said as she started slapping his arm.
Raph was trying not to laugh now. This fighting style was…pretty pathetic. Obviously her powers had shut off for now and Sam was just being, well, an interestingly uncoordinated drunk being. It was comical until Sam's eyes started turning blue and Raph realized that she might start using her powers again, and without restraint.
"Whoa okay, okay calm down!" he said. "Ughhh, Jay sent me!" he said, trying to get her to calm down.
"Oh he did? My bad man!" Sam said, her eyes returning to normal in mere seconds.
"Do you work with him or something?" Sam asked, her eyes dazed and glossy.
"Yeah. I've been a voice actor in a few different commercials with him. We're also stunt double buddies."
"Ohhhh were you on The Walking Dead to?! He was the stunt double for Glenn!" Sam announced as she now was following Raph who had tested to see if the loopy woman would follow him if he began to walk away. He never expected he would have to use babysitting tactics on a grown woman.
"Yeah. But I was a walker stunt double" Raph replied.
"Oh! Here's my walker audition. Tell me what you think" Sam said as she then started dragging her leg and reaching her arms out and sneering and moaning 'like a zombie.'
"Oh that's a real winning performance right there" Raph reassured. And this was pretty much the rest of the walk home.

Finally they reached the manhole cover that was in the alleyway right outside her apartment where Raph then offered to carry Sam up to her apartment because she had done such a great job acting all the way home.
He contacted Donnie as to how to undo the alarms and within a few minutes Raph helped Sam climb through the window and into the room.
"You hungry or anything?" Raph asked, knowing that Casey sometimes would get the munchies from drinking. That and also learning that it wasn't good to not have any water or food in your stomach when drinking.
"The opposite actually" Sam said as she began to hold onto her stomach.
"Ahh come one, come on" he said as he carefully held onto her, one hand on her back and the other on her shoulder, and rushed her to the bathroom where she threw up in the toilet.
Raph rubbed a hand on her back while Sam sat there for a few more minutes.
"My stomach is empty now" Sam whispered.
"Lovely" Raph said, trying not to be too sarcastic and upset the girl again.
"My breath stinks" Sam said bluntly.
"Got mouthwash?"
"Bottom cabinet…do I live here?" Sam asked as she then quickly started turning and looking around the room while she was sitting on the floor.
"Yeah you live here. Here's the mouthwash. DON'T swallow it!" Raph said as he began to hand her the bottle and then quickly pulled it back.
"Why? It's alcohol. See. Al-ca-ma-hol" Sam said as she pointed to the word on the bottle.
"Because you've had a lot of that today. You'll get sick if you drink anymore" Raph said in a mocking tone.
Of course, being drunk, Sam stared at him with wide eyes as if he was a genius.
"You're smart. I like that" she said as she took a huge swig from the bottle and then spit it into the toilet.
Sam then looked confused. "This isn't the sink" she said.
"Alright to the kitchen" Raph said as he helped the woman stand on her feet and helped her walk into the other room.
"Whoaaaa! Look at all this food!" Sam exclaimed as she looked in the fridge.
"Yeahhhhh, you're not eating that. Let's make you some soup" he said as he guided her to sit down at the breakfast bar in the kitchen.
"I like soup!" Sam said as she rose her hand as if waiting to be called on.
"Wow you are so lucky, I have one can left with your name on it" he said dully.
"WHAT?! How does the cashier know my name?!" Sam shouted as she threw her hands over head and buried her face into the table.
"It's an expression Sam. You're safe."
Sam peeked her eyes up from her hands. "Are you my boyfriend?"
"Hell no" Raph said a little too quickly and aggressively.
Sam then stood up from the table. "Then like, why are you here?" she said as she leaned onto the table so that her stomach was at the edge but her face was still flat on the tables surface.
"Because I'm your brother. What the hell are you doing?" he said as he turned around to check and make sure she wasn't doing anything dangerous, or anything too stupid.
"It's more comfortable this way" she whispered in a deep tone.
"Whatever you say" he mumbled as he took the soup out of the microwave and then let it sit because it was still too hot.
"Why are you half naked?" she asked as she was now sitting on the table.
"Because I have this" he said as he pointed to his shell.
"That's a big back pack" Sam said as she squinted her eyes and nodded.
"Not a backpack" he groaned.
"Are you sure you're my brother?" she asked as she stood up and started walking over towards the couch.
"Yes Sam. I'm sure" he said as he placed an ice cube from the freezer into the cup with the soup.
"Then why did I ask you to marry me?" Sam asked.
Raph's eyes went wide.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked as he turned around and saw that she was lying upside down on the couch.
"Hehe whoaaaa it's like I'm in that other Dimension. What's it called again?" she asked herself.

"*Sigh* sit up and eat you dork" Raph said as he walked over with a towel and the cup of soup.
Sam awkwardly flipped herself over and now sat criss cross on the couch with her hands extended in front of her as if she was a child.
While Sam giddily ate her soup, Raph dragged his hand down his face as he watched some t.v. It was silent for a while until drunk Sam had an epiphany.
"OH MY GOD THERE'S MORE OF YOU!" she shouted, pointing at him with her spoon in hand, so a few drops landed on Raph's face.
He just stared blankly at her, but a sober person would be able to sense the annoyance radiating from him.
"Yes Sam. I have three brothers."
"Heh, no you don't. You only have two more. Blue and Purple" she said as she continued to eat, staring at her food while she spoke.
"No Sam there's a third" he said as he directed his attention back to the television.
"That can't be right. My brothers would all say no if I asked them to marry me. But Orange said yes. So he can't be my brother. That wouldn't make any sense" she said as she started hysterically laughing. "This soup is so damn good!" she said as she started kicking her feet like a little kid. "Can I have more?" she said as she hopped over and held the bowl in front of the turtles face.
Being in her ditzy state, she had no idea that Raph was frozen solid at what he had just heard the girl say.
'Mikey said yes?' he thought to himself. 'But…why? He sees her the same way the rest of us do, doesn't he? Has he been lying? What the hell?'
Because Raph had grown distracted he hadn't realized that Sam was now climbing on top a counter top to reach for something on a higher shelf.
Raph dashed over to stand behind her as she reached for some chips on a top shelf.
"Man these are my favorite!" Sam announced. She then turned around and literally walked straight off the counter, obviously not realizing where she was.
Raph was just happy he had been standing right behind her to catch her in time.
"Thanks bro" Sam said as she continuously pat the turtle on the cheek.
"Sam, what do you mean Orange was the only one that said yes?" Raph asked.
"He said he would marry me years in the future if I was still single, like Phoebe and Joey in Friends" Sam said as she was now shoveling chips into her mouth.
Raph nodded his head and then walked Sam back over towards the couch. Sam then collapsed and leaned back into the couch as she continued to eat the chips.

Raph was just shocked. He never thought that any of his brothers would EVER consider dating Sam. She was obviously pretty and she had cute qualities, they all knew that. She had a lot of admirable qualities. He didn't want to think that the only reason he wouldn't want to be with her was because she was a tomboy, but…he just saw her as nothing more than a younger sister. Then again, why didn't he see her as an older sister? She was older than them, was that because she didn't dress or 'look' like an older woman? She dressed completely different from the way April did. April was the one that the four found gorgeous but knew she was family and would never do anything weird because of that. Also, she was, again, like a mother-sister figure to all of them, so any relationship with her would be extremely strange and awkward. Plus she was older than them, not like old lady old, but obviously way older than Sam was. Raph then had a wtf moment and wondered why the hell he was thinking of all of this in the first place.

Then, he got sneaky, and he decided to pry.
"Hey Sam."
"Hmmm?" she asked.
"What do you think about Orange?" he asked as he stared at her, calmly yet curiously.
"Ugh I hate oranges" she groaned.
"No, not the fruit, Orange. Mikey" he reassured.
"Ohhhh my best friend! I love him man!" Sam said with a huge smile.
"How do you love him?" Raph asked.
"Umm, like a best friend, duh?" Sam said with a giggle.
"Do you want to date him?"
"No…do you?" she asked and whispered as she now faced Raph with a curious and raised brow.
"No!" Raph shouted.
"Then why would I want to?" she asked, taken aback and confused.
"Because he's not your brother!"
"He's not?" Sam said, tilting her head.
"I mean, he's like your brother. But he's not literally your brother, he's literally my brother though."
"Awwww that sucks. You're in love with your brother" Sam said as she started crying.
"Wait what?!" Raph said with a disgusted face.
"It's like when Oedipus fell in love with his mom! Forbidden love!" Sam cried as she then leaped over and hugged Raph.
"Forbidden love is Romeo and Juliet and why am I even trying to converse with you?" Raph said with a sigh.
'Well this obviously got me nowhere' Raph thought to himself. The next thing he knew, the hysterically sobbing Sam was now out cold.
Raph scoffed and smiled as he shook his head.
"Wow, you cried yourself to sleep. You are very interesting when you are drunk" he said as he scooped her up and then carried her off to her room. He placed her down in her bed, making sure to place her on her side in case she threw up in her sleep.
He then walked back into the living room and cleaned up the soup cup and spoon, washed them, and then dried them as he put them back in their place. He also clipped the chip bag and placed that back where it belonged.
As he was putting things back where they belonged, he looked out of the corner of his eye when he heard a creaking sound.
He then turned his head to see Sam walk into the room…with her sweatshirt halfway off her body and her bra (which was not a sports bra, but luckily a comfy bra that revealed no cleavage) exposed.
Raph quickly turned away. 'Man I did not sign up for this shit tonight' he thought to himself.
"I'm stuck" Sam mumbled.
Raph sighed as he then turned around and walked towards Sam with his eyes glued to the ceiling. He carefully reached his hands out and helped her maneuver her way through the arms of the sweatshirt so that it was now on her.
"Thanks red!" she said with a beaming smile.
"Yup" he said as he then quickly turned around. He then peeked back at Sam and was shocked to see how upset she now looked.
"What's wrong with you now?" he asked rather harshly.
"You took away my soup-"
"You ate it!" he bellowed. Seeing his sister practically shirtless was the tipping point in this being a pretty fucked up night.
"Now you're yelling at me" Sam said as she began fidgeting with her fingers.
Raph closed his eyes and tried to calm himself.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm just flustered."
"Because you saw my boobs?" Sam stated bluntly.
"Yes Sam. Because I saw…that" he said.
"Am I that ugly?" she asked softly.
Raph was then taken aback.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I mean I knew you wouldn't do anything, that's why I trusted you to help me get unstuck…but am I that ugly?"
"Why does me not wanting to see my sister that way make you ugly?"
"Don't guys like boobs?"
"When they're not their sisters!" Raph exclaimed, wondering how the hell he reached this point of the conversation.
"They just like pretty boobs."
Raph felt had a strong feeling he was going to regret what he was about to say.
"Your boobs are pretty Sam."
"Now you're lying to me" she said as she crossed her arms and plopped down and sat criss cross right on the spot.
Raph crouched down so that he was back to being at eye level with her.
"Sam. Why do you think you're ugly?"
"No one looks at me or compliments me. I'm just a guy. Like, I wanna be one of the guys, but I wanna be a woman" she said in a risqué voice. "But everyone only sees me as a guy. I should get a sex change" she said as she pouted and titled her head so that her cheek could rest in her palm.

Raph just sat there for a minute. Was this just drunk Sam being drunk, or in being drunk was Sam sharing thoughts that she had buried within her?
"Sam, you're obviously pretty-"
"Yeah when I'm coated in make-up and in heels. You saw me as a bridesmaid so NOW you can think of that when you say I'm pretty. Everyone can."
"Well, you're pretty when you wear your soccer uniform" Raph stated genuinely.
Sam then shot him a strange look as a means to question his statement.
"Not everyone can rock a uniform the way you do" he said playfully. "Besides, no amount of make-up can emphasize your smile."
"Psh, now you just sound like Orange. He says that all the time" she said as she rolled her eyes.

Raph was thrown off once again. Mikey said this shit? He wasn't lying when he said all this to her, but the only reason he was saying it was because it was obviously bothering her, or at least it was bothering her while she was drunk. But, Mikey said this when she was sober? Why? Then again Mikey was a flirt all the time…but these are things he would say to April, so why would he say them to Sam? What the hell was happening?
He then realized Sam was beginning to fall backwards. Raph lunged forward and grabbed the neck of her sweatshirt and pulled her back forward where he saw that her eyes were closed and her mouth hung open.
"Looks like you're out for good this time. And thank god for that" Raph mumbled as he once again scooped the girl up and carried her back to her bedroom.

He loved Sam as a sister, but nothing more than that, he could swear on his life that that was the truth. He had only said what he had tonight because it was clear that Sam had some inner demons about who she was. He was shocked to hear all this come from her. She had always been so confident in herself and never cared what others thought. She was going to dress and act in a way that made her happy, and he always assumed that she was, but if her drunken spiel was true, then there was much more negativity and sadness in her mind than any of him or his brothers had any idea about. He decided he would only talk to April about everything that was discussed tonight, she was someone they could all trust. But…then there was also what Sam had said about Mikey. Was this Mikey just being an idiot? Maybe he had said those things to be kind to Sam, just like how Leo and Donnie had begun to feel guilty after bluntly saying no when Sam asked about marriage. But, why would he hide his response from them then if it was just him being kind to his best friend? And that was the thing, Sam acted the same way around Mikey that she did with the rest of the brothers, so maybe this was nothing to get worried about. This part of the night he decided he would keep to himself. He just had no idea what was even the truth since Sam had said some loopy shit throughout the night. For all he knew, Sam could have made up the entire story about Mikey even saying yes!

Raph watched over Sam and after she had stayed asleep for a solid 20 minutes, he decided to take his leave. He left a note on her bedside table about what to do when she woke up. He already laid out clean clothes for her, set her alarms, prepared food for her to heat up during breakfast. Yup, he never thought his babysitting experiences with Renet and Keno would come into play when being friends with Sam.
He looked over her one last time and made sure that she was still on her side. Once Sam fell asleep then she never moved, not once. Not unless she completely woke up in the middle of the night. He quickly and quietly left the room. He shot a quick message to April about talking to her about some things next time she was free, but still decided to keep the information about what was said about his brother a secret. He didn't know what to make of this information himself, so he decided to keep this information hidden unless any signs of needing to talk to him about it surfaced.
