Chapter Text
Kara sat on the couch, her eyes closed as she recalled the conversation about what had happened a while ago.
"So, you were Master Splinter's first student?" Leo asked curiously, he and his brother sat in front of her and Splinter in a line. She turned her attention to him with a nod, her eyes now uncovered and he couldn't help but stare in awe at her eyes. They were so unique and beautiful. He was sure all of his brother's thought that as well.
"So let me get this straight." Donnie started with his hand on his chin like he usually does when thinking. "Your parents hired Master Splinter to teach you self defense so no one would recognize you during a fight?"
Leo looked over to her as she nodded again, opening her mouth to speak. "Sort of. I was already learning kickboxing but as you said, so that no one would recognize me, he taught me how to fight using my other senses other than my sight. I'm sure he has done the same for you guys as well, right?"
Leo rubbed the back of his head looking away in embarrassment. "We uh..haven't gotten that far yet in our training." He looked over at Mikey noticing he was openly staring at her for the longest time, not having said a word till his eyes widen and he stood up, pointing at her. "I knew it! I knew you looked familiar!" He left, going to his room while laughing to himself.
Everyone could hear him throwing things everywhere and Leo sighed before looking back at her. "You'll have to excuse Mikey, he's a bit childish."
She giggled which caused him to blush and she waved her hand in a dismissing manner. "It's alright, he's pretty funny." She looks up seeing him come back with a CD and shoves it in her face. "You look just like her!" She took the CD and laughed. "Oh, that's my sister, Sara. I'm part of the Sharper family but I'm not popular or anything like them. I'm just normal." She smiled yet something felt off about the way she said it, but he ignored it.
Master Splinter stood up and smiled down at Kara, gently patting her head. "It is good to see you again, my student. I am sure my sons have a lot of questions but right now one of them needs to be punished." He said sternly while looking in Raph's direction who sunk his head in a bit. She nodded and stood up as well, bowing to him before leaving the room.
She opened her eyes and turned her head towards the dojo hearing laughter and Raph yelling at his brothers and had to smile at how goofy they sounded from where she was. Not wanting to be bored, she decided to explore their lair while their training commenced. That was just like Master Yo...Master Splinter, never forgetting a punishment or training session even after a heartwarming moment like that. "It is good to see you again." She sighed, smiling to herself while she explored.
She was in awe at the place, using a place like an old train station to turn into a home; creative. Plus, their games and stuff were awesome, it was old school, but she could handle it. Nodding in approval of all the games she looked at the time and decided it was best to head home.
Before she could leave, she saw the turtles walking out of their dojo and started laughing when Raph walked into view covered in arrows. He glared at her but blinked when she came over and helped him get them off. "So, what was your training about?"
Mikey put his arm over his older brother and started poking his cheek. "Raph here has anger issues."
Raph growled and grabbed his finger, twisting it till Mikey yelled mercy, in a painful voice might she add.
"Well, I was about to head home-"
"Wait!" Donnie yelled as he sort of jogged towards her, the loudness of his voice causing her to jump. "I have to make sure you didn't get a concussion in our last fight." He smiled with a light chuckle realizing he just yelled at her and blushed. "i-if you don't mind that is."
She blinked and felt her head, remembering the bandages and shrugged. "Uh, sure. No problem." She followed him to his lab, his brothers right behind them as she jumped on the table she woke up from and he began to unwrap the bandages.
"So, uh I was thinking, would you like for us to take you home? We are about to head to the surface anyways to collect something and since it is dangerous and what not-thought it would be a good idea to walk you home?" Leo suggested, trying to act cool.
She thought about it for a moment and shrugged. Even though she didn't need a babysitter she thought they were just trying to be nice. "Sure, you could take me home after you collect whatever you're going to collect." She grinned sheepishly but blinked as Donnie turned her head to look at him so he could examine her eyes. She stared into his brownish red eyes and couldn't help but smile. "They're pretty." She thought before he let go of her and smiled. "You don't have a concussion, so you'll be fine." He stepped back as she jumped off and popped her back while stretching her arms. "Awesome! So, let's go." She put her hands in her pockets but blinked not feeling her taser or pepperspray. "Ok, guys. Where's my stuff?" She looked around and eventually found them where her cap was and blushed wondering how she missed that, but she adjusted her cap and smiled, ready to hit the road.
She walked up to Master Splinter as he came out of his room and bowed her head to him. "I hope I can keep seeing you and your sons, Master."
He smiled kindly at her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "You are welcome here anytime, my dear." She smiled brightly and bowed again before leaving with the brothers.
-Outside-
Kara had to piggyback ride on one of the turtles since she couldn't do any of the awesomely parkour stuff they were doing. "I should practice doing parkour so I don't have to burden any of the guys." She thought as she looked down at Mikey since he and Raph were the only ones who didn't have weapons strapped to their backs. "You're so cool, Mikey! This is awesome!" She put her arm around his neck, using one hand to hold onto her cap so it wouldn't fly off.
"Well, if you like that, dudette, then watch this." He sped past his brothers and jumped off the ledge of a building doing a flip in the air and landed safely on the other side.
Kara laughed, feeling adrenaline rushing through her veins while holding onto him tighter. "Woo! That was awesome!"
<>"Shh, we're ninjas. We need to be silent!" Leo said in a hushed voice while the others landed beside them.
She gave him a pouty face, but he looked away acting like he didn't see it. "So, what are we getting anyways?" Kara asked curiously, looking down to see a fat man talking on his cellphone. "Ew, bad combover."
"We're here to get his cellphone. He caught us on video fighting the Kraang; an alien race that tried to kidnap some people. I'll tell you the rest of the story later." Donnie pointed at the man and she gasped wondering if those people were safe but before she could say anything they all landed in front of the man.
"I'll call you back." The bad combover guy said into his phone before hanging up.
She hopped off Mikey's back and put her hood over her cap to hide her eyes as the man continued to talk. "Lay one finger on me frogs and I'm calling the cops." He said while hugging his phone to his chest and pointing at them.
"Wow, he must've failed biology in every grade..." She thought in an unamused tone.
Raph began talking, his body tense and his hands clenched as he tried to keep his anger in. "We're not gonna hurt you." He said, his voice strained and his face twitching.
"Wow, he's like a time bomb ready to explode.." She couldn't help but snicker at the thought.
"Then what do you want, freak?"
She glared at the man not liking his attitude.
"We got off on the wrong foot last night. Some things were said and well, we would just like that video back." Raph gave a weak smile as well as his other brothers.
The man gave him a look of 'I'm not buying it' which made Leo nudge Raph who looked away. "Please?" He muttered with clenched fists.
"What're you gonna give me for it?" The man asked with a smug look on his face.
"Give you for it?" Raph asked with a raised brow.
"Well, I figured I've got you over a barrel, so you've got to make it worth my while."
"I'll make it worth your while," Raph began with a grin, "I won't take your head and smash it-" Before he could finish Leo grabbed his arm while she giggled behind them, quickly covering her mouth to hide it. "I dunno why, but Raph is hilarious when angry."
Raph looked back at her, and she just smiled while placing her finger to her lips as Leo spoke to the man. "So, what're you looking for?" He asked with a nervous smile while she could see steam coming off of Raph's head.
She wanted to grab a hotdog and place it over his head which reminds her, "I'm starving!" She shouted in her mind but was pulled from her thoughts as she heard the man say, "A million dollars." "Wait, that guy wants a million dollars from them? That no good selfish lazy-this list could go on forever.." She glared at the man while Leo and Mikey spoke to him. Deciding to give the man a piece of her mind, she took a step forward, but was stopped by Donnie who shook his head.
Suddenly Raph grabs the guy and throws him onto the ground. "That's it! Hand over the video or so help me I'll kick your hairy butt all the way to New Jersey!"
"Aw, come on Raph! Why'd you have to put that image in my head!? Argh! I'm gonna need therapy to get that image disappear."
"Guys, the Kraang!" Leo shouted, snapping her out of her thoughts just in time for headlights to shine on them, heading towards Raph and..Bob, we're calling him Bob.
She ran around the guys and pushed Bob and Raph out of the way of the vehicle, noticing the phone had flown out of Bob's hands. "Aha!" She said and while the guys were fighting the Kraang Kara ran towards the phone and swiped it from the ground. "Guys, I got-oof!" She was pushed to the ground by Bob as he grabbed the phone and tried to pull it from her grip. "What're you doing kid, this is my phone! I'm going to make serious cash from this video!"
She gasped as neon pink lights were flying everywhere, one of them grazing her arm, and screamed in pain, grabbing her arm while Bob yelled triumphantly and crawled away with his phone in his hands. She glared towards the coward then looked down at her arm, removing her hand to see the burn mark it left and decided to ignore it, going after Bob who was pushed into their van. She got up and followed after him, but Raph beat her to it.
She heard Leo's shouts for Raph seeing he was getting kicked while he was down, reaching out for Raph to help him so she rushed over and slammed her body against the Kraang's, pushing it out of the way. She held out of her hand to him and smiled while she helped him off the ground. "You're hurt!" He exclaimed, noticing the burn on her arm. "We can take care of it later; I almost had the phone." She saw the van driving off with Raph and Bob inside and ran after them the guys beside her.
She could see him fighting off three by himself in a small space and grinned. "Wow, he's good." She thought while catching up to the van beside Donnie who had his staff reached out for him to grab. "Behind you!" She shouted as one of them grabbed Raph while he was talking to Bob and threw him out. She braced herself for the impact, trying to skid to a halt but was forced back just as Raph slammed into her and rolled on the concrete and into his brothers.
"So long frogs!" She heard from afar and groaned in pain.
"Ugh..that's gonna leave a mark." She slowly got up, Raph climbing off of her before helping her up. "Sorry about that.." He looked down noticing her arms were scraped and her pants were torn from the cement.
"It's ok. You were pretty awesome over there." She grinned while patting his shoulder only to wince it pain.
"We should get you home" Leo said but she shook her head.
"I'll take myself home. You guys need to get that video before anything goes wrong. I'll be fine. I can take care of myself." She pointed proudly at herself though she was unsure if she could take on alien robots without assistance. Let's hope she doesn't come across any. She walked up to each of them and gave them a hug; Leo and Donnie blushed at the contact, but she wasn't paying attention as they hugged her back. "Now! Don't forget to tell me about your adventures!" She shouted as she walked away from them, waving bye as they nodded and ninja'd out of there.
When she finally made home, after keeping herself hidden so no one would question her scrapes and bruises, she went straight to the bathroom and jumped in the shower, yelling "Oohs" and "Ahhs" as the hot water hit her wounds but soon relaxed. After showering and changing she quickly grabbed the phone and ordered take out from her favorite restaurants then took care of her wounds, changing into a long-sleeved shirt and shorts for her pajamas. She climbed out onto the roof and looked up at the sky, able to see the stars and smiled. She looked down at her hands and clenched them, a feeling of excitement running through her. She laughed and looked back up at the sky. "I think I'm gonna like it here." She threw her hands in the air and laughed more as she fell onto her back, waiting for her food.
