[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

I'll play present Mikey and...um...future Leo, I guess...heh... :D And, could I include my own character and her future self as well? Marsha?

[Garou]

Alright, I think I'll take... Leo and future Raph, and then present and future Angel.... :D

[Lioness-Goddess]

I wanna be present Don and future Mikey!!

[-Savannah-]

Okay, now we just need a present Raph and a future Don...

[Jade Green]

I knew there was a reason why I woke up with a shudder this morning. *eyes Savannah with a smirk*

I'll lay claim of Future Don and Present Raph... as Well we Future and Present Graysight...

[-Savannah-]

Alright then, let's get started!

[cowabunga14]

I'll be present Mikey and future Casey Jones. Sorry if this is last minute.

[-Savannah-]

Sorry, present Mikey is taken but you can be future Casey.

[cowabunga14]

Well that's ok. Can I be like myself or Frank?

[-Savannah-]

Sure! Of course!

[cowabunga14]

I think I'll be present Ray Fillet and future Casey Jones. Is that ok?

[-Savannah-]

Ray Fillet? *scratches head*

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Hrm...I'm pretty sure he's from the original 80's cartoon...I haven't gotten around to that episode yet, if he is...

So...where are we going to start from? Any suggestions? *looks around*

[-Savannah-]

Well I have a suggestion: we start in the lair, where DOn is working on a "risky" invention. And when Mikey comes in and goofs around, he makes the invention backfire when he toys with it, sending everyone through a time portal, into the future.

[The Stryker]

Is it Too late to Join? Because if its not...I call Future Stryker (Not a Main character kind of like the Chesire Cat)

[-Savannah-]

Of course you can join! We haven't started yet.

[cowabunga14]

That's a creative suggestion -Savannah-.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Yay! Stryker's joinin'! Hehe...don't mind me...and my Mikey gets to cause all the trouble...as usual! :evilgrin: Can't wait to begin!

[Garou]

That's just so typical Mike :lol:

[-Savannah-]

Everyone okay with the idea?

[Garou]

:lol: Perfectly...

[-Savannah-]

-Alright, I'll start us off then...-

Ana silently watched the blank television screen boredly, not really expecting it to just turn on, because Mikey had tried to watch too many televisons at once, making them all black out. Sighing, she leaned against the couch back, thinking to herself.

[Garou]

Leo walked up behind Ana and rested on the back, looking over at the TV's. He then looked down at the female turtle.

"Wanna borrow a book?" he asked, seeing how bored she was.

Angel already sat on the floor with her drawing book. She had a weird habit of sticking her tonue out, whenever she was concentrating on drawing, and today was no exception.

[-Savannah-]

Ana looked up at Leo, her espression turned into a small smile. Nodding she replied, "Uh, sure. Thanks Leo."

[Jade Green]

Raphael stepped into the lair grinning like a Cheshire cat and gripping his old paint ball gun in his left hand. He had finally gotten Randi back for the bucket of water that she had strategically placed over the door to his room! Never mind the fact that Randi had only done so in order to get Raph back for a prank he had played on her earlier. He set the gun down on an available table and yawned, stretching his arms. At least the pranks gave him something to do while Don fixed the TVs

Smacking his lips a little, Raph scratched the back of his head and looked over to the couch where Ana and Leo were. “Hey, guys, how’s it g-…”

A blur of black, green and colorful polka dots came through the door, “YOU BASTARD!” Came the snarl of a familiar voice as said blur sprung into the air and landed on the shell and shoulders of Raphael. It was Randi, and she, her coat and hat were all covered in an assortment of colorful paint.

“Hey!” Raph shouted, quickly steadying his feet so as not to topple over with the added weight. Randi began to pummel him atop the head, “Get off!” He shrugged his shoulders, doing a maneuver to throw the female off. Using telekinetics, she landed softly onto her feet a yard or so away from him.

“…Look! Look!” She pulled at the collar of her now Technicolor coat, “You ruined it!”

“Ah, you fret too much.” Raph shrugged, “It’ll come out… maybe.”

“MAYBE AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH!” She snarled and it was clear by the way Raphael winced that she had yelled it in his mind too, “Do you have any idea who gave me this… you bastard!”

[cowabunga14]

Casey got his hockey mask and his hockey stick and said,"You guys tryin' to start somethin'? I really don't wanna beat up any friends of mine. You should be more careful, Raph. I'd be really ticked if someone ruined any of my clothes especially a Technicolor Dream Coat or whatever its called. Randi, you should forgoive Raphael and find a way to wash your coat. I know its really special to ya. Just don't be enraged. Raph is typically the hot-headed one around here."

Ray Fillet walks and says,"Hey,you guys think that enragement is a sign of the Foot Clan? I know Shredder's been gone for a while but I dunno if he possessed anyone."

"You really think that happened,Ray?,"asks Casey. "The Foot Clan hasn't really bothered us. There's been some muggings but there weren't any crimes that were major in this city."

"Well, I guess we should pay attention to the news in case aything comes up. Hopefully Oroku Saki doesn't have us fight him in another dimension,"says Ray.

[Jade Green]

(uhm... Cowabunga, the coat was orignally black before Raph shot the paint balls at it.)


"Randi, you should forgoive Raphael and find a way to wash your coat. I know its really special to ya. Just don't be enraged. Raph is typically the hot-headed one around here."

"Forgive him?" Randi snorted at Casey, "Go screw yerself with your hockey stick and stay outa this!"

"He's just tryin' t-..."

"SHUT UP!" Randi snapped at Raph, "Let me go destroy something Ana gave you and see how YOU like it!" She pulled off the coat and started for the girls' room.

Raph blinked, it was common knowledge that Raph liked Ana even though he personally wouldn't admit it. "What, Ana gave you that?"

"NO! MY FIANCE DID!"

SLAM!

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mike let out a groan, walking out of his room as soon as he heard the door slam. "Owww..." He muttered, rubbing the back of his head, glancing around at everyone before turning to Raph. "Did I miss something?" he asked, innocently.

[cowabunga14]

"It wasn't really anything impoprtant. Don't worry about it. I'm sure Randi'll find to not be mad at Raph and wash her coat,"said Casey.

[Jade Green]

"I'm not going to wash it, HE is!" The door opened and Randi tossed the coat at Raph, "AND IT BETTER BE SPOTLESS OR I SWEAR I'LL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS UNTIL YOU GET ME A NEW ONE!"

[Garou]

"Ouch..." Came the reply from Angel, as she looked over at Raphael, still holding her sketchbook close to her. The feline slowly got up and walked over to the red-masked turtle, letting a finger strike the coat.

"You're gonna be working hard to get that of, you know that?" she told him, using some of her powers to remove a small spot of paint.

Leo sighed. These two were getting a little too personal on their jokes sometimes. But, he guessed Raph already knew that... With a sigh, he shifted on the back of the couch and handed Ana a blue book.

[Lioness-Goddess]

((Yikes, I'm late! :) ))

Don came out of his room, a slightly confused look on his face. "Um, what was that all about?"

He glanced up at the blank TV's and sighed. "And who broke the TV this time?"

[-Savannah-]

Ana looked up, not really caring what was happening. Maybe Rapheal deserved whatever he got right now, but that would be cruel to think that, so she kept her mouth shut. Gingerly taking the book from Leo, she flipped it open, and started to scan the pages.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Not really expecting an answer, Don shrugged and moved to the back of the televisions to see what was wrong. "I swear...next time someone breaks this it's going straight to the dump..." he muttered while he worked on it.

[Garou]

"Long story," Leo muttered towards Donnie, stretching, "And I think Mikey would kill you, if he heard that..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Well maybe he should find something else to do besides watching and breaking the TV." Don retorted, as he tightened something and moved back to the front of the device. "It should work now."

[Jade Green]

"Ouch..." Came the reply from Angel, as she looked over at Raphael, still holding her sketchbook close to her. The feline slowly got up and walked over to the red-masked turtle, letting a finger strike the coat.

"You're gonna be working hard to get that of, you know that?" she told him, using some of her powers to remove a small spot of paint.

Raph snorted, "She's crazy if she thinks that I'm going to clean this thing..." He tossed it onto one of the kitchen chairs. "She started it anyways." Actually, Raph sort of forgot who had started the little war.

It had all really started with an observation Randi had casually made about how differently Raphael would act around certain people: Namely Ana. The female hadn't meant any offense by the comment and had merely found it an interesting piece of information. Raph, however, did not take it as such and wanted revenge. The Prank war began.

[Garou]

Angel snorted, following the coat with her eyes. She walked over and grabbed it, looking down at the paint stains.

"God, you're stubborn," she frowned, bringing the coat over to the large pool in the middle and sat down to try and wash it.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"It'll come out better if you put ginger ale on it or something." Don said quietly, approaching Angel.

[Jade Green]

"It's just a coat." Raph snorted, sitting in the Lay-Z-Boy, "It's an ugly one too, all torn up. I did her a favor."

Inside the girls' room, Randi sat in the darkest corner and glared at the door. She could hear every word of the conversation outside and they just dug into her like a hot iron blades. She gnashed her teeth together and clenched her fists until she could taste that familiar copper and feel that wetness on her hands whose color she knew all to well to be red. Even as a child, she never liked that color... even now when she could no longer disern it from the millions of shades of gray, she still hated it.

Randi didn't know what color mask Raphael wore; but right now, she hated him just as much as she hated the color red. Nothing she had done to him, nothing had destroyed -- or threatened -- to destroy anything of significant or emotional value to Raphael. The worse thing she did replace the sugar for his coffee with salt... or was it the water on the door? It wasn't like any water had gotten inside his room... the prank happened on his way out the door.

She sighed, releasing the pressure in her hands and mouth. She needed out of this place. Randi never felt like she could fit in anyways... sometimes she could swear that the turtles had the loudest thoughts possible and it was so hard to close her mind to them. She couldn't help what she overheard! She knew more than anyone just how much Raphael liked Ana and she him. She knew more than anyone that Angel was hiding something, not that Randi was going to delve into the cat's mind to find out what. She some of the real reasons why Donatello liked to lock himself away in his labs for so long. She knew why Michelangelo really acted the way he did... Splinter and Leonardo were the only ones she felt comfortable around... Splinter's mind was silent and Leonardo's was quiet, only once and a while did she 'over hear' a thought.

Randi knew a lot and knowing such things often made it hard for one to actually fit in... especially when it was so hard to let them know about herself. She closed her eyes. Randi hadn't cried since she was five years old. "<Tears are for the weak.>" She quoted in Japanese smearing some of the blood from her hands onto her legs.

"Real Soldiers Use the pain." She quoted, only this time in a wierd dialect of english. She stood, adjusting her shades. "Yeah... but I an't a soldier no more..." She sighed and sat on her bed, "...I really need to leave this place."

[Garou]

Angel shot an evil glare towards Raphael, but turned her head to answer Donnie instead.

"Thanks," she replied, getting up while leaving the coat by the pool. She walked towards the kitchen to see if they had any ginger ale.

On the way, she looked towards Randi's room, wondering how the female turtle was. Randi had really been hurt...

[Lioness-Goddess]

Don picked up the now multi-colored coat sitting by the pool and studied it. The stains would probably come out, but not all the way. He sighed and set it down. "You didn't have to go that far, Raph." he said quietly. "Just because you think it was ugly doesn't mean she does. It might've held a meaning for her..."

[-Savannah-]

Ana shot a glare towards Rapheal, her look displeased at what he said, yet she stayed quiet. ~Why is he always such a jerk... Especially the ones who are different...~ she thought, looking down.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Don shook his head, and went to knock on Randi's door. "Um...Randi?" he called quietly. He never was sure how to approach people other than his brothers. "I can get this coat back to almost normal..." he said to the door.

[Garou]

Angel had found the ginger ale in the kitchen and was on her way back to the pool and the coat, when she by Randi's door. She walked over to him and stood silently beside the turtle, listening for Randi's reply. Her ears hang loosely down to the sides.

[Jade Green]

Raphael let out a snort. He was begining to regret what he had done, but he wasn't going to admit that outright! Instead he stood and started for the door. "I'm goin' out." He growled, not really caring if anyone had heard him. Don was taking Randi's side... everyone was taking Randi's side. Even Ana was glaring at him! He needed a way to justify his anger, and going out was the perfect way to do so.

Randi scoffed under her breath, "Almost normal." She repeated in a whisper. Donatello had no right in helping Raphael... the female clicked her tongue and looked at the door. Of course, Don didn't see it that way, did he? Fragments of his thoughts glided through her mind and she had to shake her head to get them out.

Be kind to Don and Angel, they're just trying to help out. "Yeah, fine..." She finally muttered and then, after a pause, added: "Thank you." In a while, Randi would realize the loophole this made. Though the stains would come out, it wasn't Raph who had cleaned the coat... meaning she could still implement her threat.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Don sighed, a little relieved Randi hadn't opened the door. I need to get over my fear of other people... he thought to himself. Turning, he realized Angel had joined him at the door. "Uh...wanna help?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Michelangelo kept silent while all of this was going on and stepped into the kitchen, making some pizzas...half for dinner...half for a midnight snack...

Marsha sighed frustratedly as she was pulled out of meditation by all the yelling that was going on. "Now what trouble has Raph gotten himself into?" she muttered, stepping out o the dojo. She spotted Angel and Don by Randi's room. "What did Raph do, now?"

[Garou]

"Sure," the feline replied, her ears raising a little. She looked over towards Raph, as he left the lair, but she wasn't going to follow him. Right now, all that mattered was cleaning Randi's coat.

Leo sat down, watching Raph leave. He sighed to himself, having a slight feeling, that Raph knew he had crossed the line. He would talk to him, when he got back. The red-masked turtle needed to relax.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha sighed mentally, and walked away from the two. She already knew Raph had trashed Randi's favorite coat...clearly the two were preoccupied at the moment. She walked into the living room and saw Leo sitting on the floor and Ana on the couch. Hmmm...no one's watching tv at the moment... she thought, looking towards the set, then shook her head. No...better not disturb anyone...I need some fresh air... She sighed again and walked out of the sewers and topside to look for a nice rooftop to get some quiet meditation time.

Mike rolled his eyes when he heard the door close. Great...wonder who left this time? he thought, taking the pizza's out of the oven and setting them down on the counter. He took out the next two frozen pizza's and placed them in the oven next.

[Jade Green]

(I decided I sorta wanted to introduce Future Randi and Don)

Sometime in the Future...

They were the thorn in the side of the Mutant Militia, a wound whose infection grew each passing year; and to add insult to injury, this rebel organization was run by one of their very own, an Omega Psionic by the name of Lieutenant Miranda Ann Tezlof. Graysight.

There were many different opinions when it came to this group: Some thought of them as rebels, while others thought of them as revolutionaries. They were considered murders as well as saviors, evil and yet good, enemies and allies, nonexistent and all together evident, organized criminals and finally, simple good doers. Some would joke that The Outlanders were the modern day ‘Merry Men’ and Graysight was their ‘Robin Hood’. Nothing could be further from, (and yet closer to), the truth.

Within the last three years, the Outlanders had grown to such a size that it was unwise to keep them all in one area alone; and so, the leaders of the outlanders made the decision to make semi permanent colonies, or mini cities if you will, across North America. The first of these was called El Dorado, which was located somewhere in Nevada; secondly, there was Shangri La, placed somewhere in Toronto, Canada; and lastly, Atlantis, located right under New York City.

Unlike its sister cities, Atlantis had just reached its completion and still had a cleanly 'newness' to it. The Outlanders had found an underground water reservoir that had not been used in several years. It was large and secure, perfect for the group’s needs. Now, mutants of every make wandered the corridors, going from one place to another, work and home, shopping and recreation, school and childcare.

On one of the higher walkways, a single figure stood, watching the progress wearing a long, worn black coat, a black fedora, sunglasses and a dark gray scarf. It was Miranda Tezlof, the mutant rumored to be one of the most powerful psycho-kinetics in the known world, the turtle that started it all. Graysight.

There were many rumors that surrounded the lone female turtle; some of which where true, while others were false and more still that were simply ridiculous. There were those few who believed that she wouldn’t hesitate to kill any who challenged her leadership. Others believed that she kept a secret mind link with every citizen of Atlantis and would kill the would-be challenger before they ever got the chance to try. Most disagreed with this wholeheartedly, Graysight would only kill in order to protect the Outlanders, and even then she often looked for better methods.

And then, there were those whispers about her eyes. It was believed that she wore shades in order to hide their odd coloring. One eye was an evil blood red and the other was an angelic blue. Of course, there were always the whispers about the origin of her name…

Graysight let out a deep sigh as she stared down at the people below. This wasn’t what she had wanted for them, but it would have to do for now. At least they were happy… for the most part. Most of the children of the Outlanders had known nothing but travel since birth, having a stationary home was a welcomed change for them.

She leaned against the railing and closed her eyes. This wasn’t what she had wanted for them, but it would have to do for now. The turtle had wanted a democratic society, but somehow it had turned somewhat communistic.

It had been the peoples’ decision, and they had made it wordlessly. She was still surprised by their ingenuity. They were the ones who organized the medical wings, the housing, the school and childcare, and even the artificial fields! She let out a snort, she still wasn’t sure how they were able to divvy up the food without causing a fight!

Atlantis was a success!

The Outlander community was a success!

They had done it, and yet the Outlanders thought that she was behind it all. Graysight had done little to help the community along socially and she had no plans of taking credit for it; and yet somehow, credit was given to her anyways. It bothered her greatly.

It bothered her because it meant that they were blind to their own capabilities. They were like children, still wanting mother’s hand to walk when they could simply run. Graysight wanted them to run. If they fall and scratch a knee along the way, so be it. Maybe it was time she let go of their hand?

She opened her eyes as a familiar mind entered her range. Her sight fell upon a pair of mouse kits crossing the Main Square with their mother and for a brief moment, she felt an extreme sense of jealousy. “Graysight?”

“Yeah, Don?” She tore her eyes away from the family to look at the male turtle. “…Oh, they finished sector Bravo already?” Don was barely able to give her a nod before she continued, “Good… and you already sent them to check out Charlie, yeah?” Don opened his mouth, but closed it as Graysight began to speak again. “Keep up the good work, and Don?”

“Uh… yeah?”

“Just put it all in your report, no need for the play by play updates. Okay?” She stood, adjusting her shades, “I trust you. I wouldn’t have placed you in such a high position if I didn’t. I know you can handle yourself so… let go of my hand and run.” With that, she turned and started down the catwalk.

Don watched her leave a slightly dumbfounded look on his face. “…Huh?”

[Garou]

((Hm, now that Jade has introduced the future chars, I'll give you all a look at Angel in the future - behold, she has changed a lot...))


A large gray canine looked down at the people wandering below her. Humans - so much different from herself, yet, she had been one of them a long time ago. But that didn't matter anymore. Her past was long gone, and she had learned to live with that a few years ago - when things had changed. She let out a sigh, slowly closing her eyes, feeling the movements in the streets carried away by the wind. Each sound... She shot her eyes open again, drawing her attention back to reality. In a swift movement, she turned and jumped off the building she was sitting on and folded out her large wings to make the landing more silent.

She walked over to a nearby manhole, her features slowly turning into a more slender, smaller form. To a female. Her wings still remained on her back. Her fur had turned grayish over the years and her muscles bigger, but she was still as thin as she was in the past - maybe even skinnier. Angel jumped down the manhole and followed the sounds around her, soon finding herself looking down at another group of people, though this time, they were mutants...

[-Savannah-]

-Here's Ana's:-

As the skly blacked, and no stars blinked, a feminine figure rouged about in the vast darkness. Her chocolate brown hair shone, and small blonde streaks hardly visible. Dark blue eyes, dull and hardened over the last few years, gazed around sharply, the slim female moving silently throughout the brush.

Finally, the creature stood, revealing its sea turtle-like characteristics. Her plastrom housed three long red scars reaching the full width of her body. Hair about neck length. Light brown spots covered her body, and the fleshy, white tissue beneath shone between the crevices. Twin daggers were holested at her hip by a rough leather belt. One name from the past stood out from the others, although the apperance differences.

Kawanaha.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

((Here's Future Leo and Marsha))

Leonardo sighed as he whipped out his katana blade. The last battle he had was when Marsha had used her psychic powers against one of his blades. One of her blasts struck the blade hard, causing it to break in half, which left him with only one katana originally forged by Splinter.

The last battle he was in...he almost lost. Was he loosing his touch? Loosing touch from all the practice Splinter had put them through since he was alive?

Leo had aged over the years. The numerous battles he had been in left him with scars over his plastron, legs and even one scar across his left eye, which he tries to hide with a pair of shades. He has now even taken a liking to wearing black trench coats. Graysight, Ana, Angel, Mikey, Raph and Don......they had left their separate ways. Only Marsha had decided to stay with him...partially because the human didn't want to be alone herself.

Marsha shook her head and let out a sigh of her own as she watched the turtle swing his blade numerous times in the air. She, too, had aged. She was now 32; a few silvery strands of hair could be seen if you looked close enough. Her eyes had now turned to a pale shade of green. If anyone took notice, though she was trying to hide it, you could almost say she was starting to go blind.

(I know Marsha's short right now...but that was all I got...I hope this is okay??? :ohwell: )

[Jade Green]

((Garou, are you talking about Atlantis? Or the old Lair?))

Present

Raphael stood on the roof top stretching his arms lazily. It was just a joke! Alright, so maybe the coat was ruined, but but it was just a coat! He looked up at the sky and groaned. Alright, so maybe it was wrong. How was he supposed to know that her fiance gave it to her? He sat down on the raised ledge of the roof top and stared at the light-poluted night sky. Then it hit him.

"...I didn't know Randi had a fiance?"

..~*~..

Randi continued to stare at the dark wall. Maybe, just maybe, she was just 'cryin' over spilled milk' to quote Raphael's thoughts on the matter. She bit her tongue, rehearsing what she was going to say to them: 'Sorry I made such a fuss about the coat, guys. It's nothing to worry about, really... It doesn't have any real value or anything. Eli only gave it to me the last day I saw him alive.'

Yeah, oh yea, that would work! She let out a snort.

'Don't worry about the coat, the guy who gave it to me is dead anyways.'

She couldn't say that either, could she? Especially after proclaiming her fiance had given it to her. Maybe she should just stay locked up in the room for a little longer?

Future

Don reached the sewer tunnel labeled sector 'Charlie' and set his Console plate in it's proper place on his belt. The TSS team, (or Technical Security and Support team), were still working on the survelance, motion detectors, and holograms. They were doing anything and everything to keep innocent and not-so innocent bystanders at bay. It was working so far, which was good; the last thing that the Outlanders needed was some ruining all their hard work.

Don still wasn't sure why Randi -- sorry -- Graysight chose this as the 'Atlantis' location. Sure maybe it had worked for his family, friends and all, but they were a small group! The last he checked, the population of Atlantis was reaching nearly 300 people! He supposed that there was some factor that he didn't see; maybe there was something in New York that he didn't know about and yet Graysight did.

Maybe. Or maybe she wanted to hide right under her enemies' snouts.

..~*~..

Speaking of Graysight, the female turtle strolled quickly down a undisclosed sewer tunnel moving away from 'Atlantis'. There was a slight smirk on her face, causing the double dimple on her right cheek to reveal itself. So sure, she hadn't been to the lair in... how long has it been? Over a year at least. Well, she had been kinda busy! So was Donatello. From what Randi knew, Don used to visit the lair at least once a week when the Outlanders were in the area; now that they were stationary, however, it had become less and less.

She stopped short of reaching the lair. Maybe visiting Leonardo and Marsha wasn't such a good idea? The female pulled off her hat to rub the top of her head thoughtfully; she rarely talked to Leonardo when she did visit the lair. Randi had always felt bad about disapearing on him like she had... but she didn't exactly have a choice in the matter at the time. With a sigh, she started walking again and soon reached the entrance of the lair.

Randi/Graysight crossed her arms as she watched Leonardo flip his blade about. When he had stopped, she spoke. "Ever the striving warrior, eh leonardo?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Present

Should I go to the rooftops or the park? Rooftops or park...eh...maybe the park today... Marsha thought, heading for the park. Raph was nearby...probably on one of the rooftops. She shrugged, deciding it best not to disturb him as she sat down on one of the park benches and closed her eyes.

~*~

Mike smiled as he took the last of the pizza's out of the oven. "There...our dinner and snacks are done..." he murmured, sitting them out on the counter to cool down.

Future

Leonardo stood still, blade still in hand. "Graysight...you've come back," he murmured, leaving the question she had asked unanswered.
Marsha stayed silent, watching Graysight and Leonardo closely.

[Jade Green]

Present

Marsha may have not wanted to disturb Raphael, but by his nature, he was disturbed. "Hey, Marsha." Raphael almost seemed to appear near her. "What's up?"

Future

Randi stared at him over the rim of her shades, showing the tops of the blue and red irises. Such mixed feelings, not even she knew what to make of it. She pulled off her shades, revealing her eyes and looked to Marsha. "Missed you, Marsha." The female commented with a smile, noting that the woman had grown in power since last year. Pretty soon she'd surpass Randi... and somehow, that was comforting to the turtle.

She looked to Leo. "I missed you too, Leo." Her voice was sincere and her face serious, "I would have come earlier with Don, but..." Randi gave a helpless shrug. Unsure of how to really put it, she simply said, "I couldn't."

Like an essentric, Randi suddenly changed the topic again. "How now, what's this?" She moved closer to Leo, smiling at him. "First the trenchcoat and now," She stopped in front of him, looking up into those darkly tinted glasses. "Shades? Lookin' good, if I do say so myself... but you're missing something."

With that, she pulled off her hat and placed it on his head. It was three sizes too small for him; which made since seeing that Randi was three sizes smaller than him. She had always been the smallest of the turtles... "Heh, just gotta get one that fits ya." Randi reached up as if she was going to take the hat back but instead touched the side of his face near the shades. "May I...?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Present

"Hey, Raph," she greeted, never once opening her eyes as she leaned back against the bench, looking towards the sky. "I heard about the coat...everyone else was preoccupied at the moment and I figured you didn't want to be bothered, so here I am." She shrugged, glancing at him briefly before turning her gaze back to the sky.

Future

Marsha nodded her hello, keeping silent, until she spoke.

She looked to Leo. "I missed you too, Leo." Her voice was sincere and her face serious, "I would have come earlier with Don, but..." Randi gave a helpless shrug. Unsure of how to really put it, she simply said, "I couldn't."

"Why couldn't you come?" she asked, having an idea on what the answer might be. "It's the militia, again?"
Leonardo looked confused as Graysight placed the hat on him. "The Militia?" he repeated. He was about to ask what it was when he felt her hand on his face near his face.

"May I...?"

The turtle paused, muscles tensing up a bit. Did he really want her to take the shades off? He let out a sigh, giving a short nod. He closed his eyes...almost as if waiting for her to do so.

Raph shrugged slightly, "I ain't preoccupied. Just had to get outa there... everyone's takin' Randi's side in this. How was I to know her 'fiance' gave her that? She never tells us anything!"

Future

"Why couldn't you come?" she asked, having an idea on what the answer might be. "It's the militia, again?"

"That, amung other things..." Randi replied with a sigh, "But I've got a plan to get them to leave us alone."

Leonardo looked confused as Graysight placed the hat on him. "The Militia?" he repeated. He was about to ask what it was when he felt her hand on his face near his face.

She stared at him, "The Mutant Militia, Leonardo, they're the ones I've devoted the past ten years of my life against..." ~They're the reason I didn't show up that night...~

The turtle paused, muscles tensing up a bit. Did he really want her to take the shades off? He let out a sigh, giving a short nod. He closed his eyes...almost as if waiting for her to do so.

She did so gently and precisely, as if doing so in any other way would harm Leonardo. He felt her other hand touch that scar he had so despirately wanted to hide. "I remember when my shades broke during that one fight with the foot..." Randi didn't need to say anymore on the subject. That had been the first time any of the turtles or friends had seen her real eyes.

Marsha giggled slightly, shaking her head at his behavior. "Maybe it's because she doesn't want anyone else to know about it," she suggested, not really knowing how or why herself.

Future

"That, amung other things..." Randi replied with a sigh, "But I've got a plan to get them to leave us alone."

"Really?" Marsha asked, shifting to the edge of the couch, a bit more interested in what she had planned.

She stared at him, "The Mutant Militia, Leonardo, they're the ones I've devoted the past ten years of my life against..." ~They're the reason I didn't show up that night...~

"I see..." Leo murmured.

She did so gently and precisely, as if doing so in any other way would harm Leonardo. He felt her other hand touch that scar he had so despirately wanted to hide. "I remember when my shades broke during that one fight with the foot..." Randi didn't need to say anymore on the subject. That had been the first time any of the turtles or friends had seen her real eyes.

He had the urge to jerk away when she touched the scar, but remained still and silent. The foot are gone now... he thought, looking directly at her.

He had the urge to jerk away when she touched the scar, but remained still and silent. The foot are gone now... he thought, looking directly at her.

~And yet,~ Her voice whispered, ~You're still here... True inspiration for someone in my place.~ She lowered her hands from him, placing his now folded shades in his hands and looked to Marsha.

"I'd tell you out right my plan," She replied, "But the lair isn't as secure as I'd like..." She reached up to Leo's head again, this time pulling off her hat. "Which brings me to my next topic... would you two care to have dinner with me?"

Present

Marsha giggled slightly, shaking her head at his behavior. "Maybe it's because she doesn't want anyone else to know about it," she suggested, not really knowing how or why herself.

Raph only grumbled, "When I go back, Leo's goanna give me a lecture, I know it." He scoffed, "It ain't any of his business anyways."

~And yet,~ Her voice whispered, ~You're still here... True inspiration for someone in my place.~

Leo watched her silently, glancing from his shades back to Graysight. He felt like saying something, but remained silent as she spoke, taking back her hat.

"Which brings me to my next topic... would you two care to have dinner with me?"

Marsha raised an eyebrow at this, a small smirk on her face. Wouldn't you rather have dinner with Leo rather than with the both of us? she asked in a slightly teasing voice. ...never mind... she shook her head and smiled. "Sure, that'd be nice." she turned to Leo. "What do you say, Leo?"
Leonardo paused before answering. "...of course...."

Present

Marsha shrugged again. "Unless you'd rather stay here a bit longer before we head back?"

Marsha raised an eyebrow at this, a small smirk on her face. Wouldn't you rather have dinner with Leo rather than with the both of us? she asked in a slightly teasing voice. ...never mind...

~This involves both of you.~ Came the reply, Marsha was one of the few who knew how Randi really felt. ~Besides, what I'd rather have doesn't matter at this point.~

Over the years, Randi had come to the conclusion that actions speak louder than anything else. It doesn't matter how you feel about the subject, it's what you do -- or try to do -- about it.

she shook her head and smiled. "Sure, that'd be nice." she turned to Leo. "What do you say, Leo?"
Leonardo paused before answering. "...of course...."

"Good." She set her hat straight on her head, "Let's go... I'm hungry and I'm sure they're wondering where I went to."

Marsha shrugged again. "Unless you'd rather stay here a bit longer before we head back?"

Raph looked up at the sky, "Yeah, lets stay here."

Oh...I'm sorry, Randi...I didn't mean any harm to the subject... Marsha replied, softly, standing up. "One question...will Don be joining us?"
Leonardo stared at her, surprised. She had never once brought up his brother's name since the last time they saw each other. As he made his way towards the door, he looked to Graysight, awaiting the answer.

Present

"So, what do you want to talk about?" she asked, a small smile on her face.

[-Savannah-]

Ana stayed completely out of the conversation, her mind anywhaere else but here. Tucking her knees up to her flat chest, she kept silent, staring down at her feet.

[Garou]

((Sorry - meant the Atlantis...))


Raphael turned his fists to balls, slamming them fiercely against the large punching bag in the middle of the room, over and over to try and calm his anger down. But nothing worked. With a great punch, he made the chains holding the bag break, causing the large sandback to hit the floor with a large thud. The turtle sighed deeply to himself. Being alone in his own little world had been the best choice, he had ever made in his life - away from all the new mutants wandering the sewers. He couldn't take it. Wouldn't a normal turtle find it great not to be so alone anymore? Probably, but who cared? It was fine enough, when they hadn't been so many in the sewers.

Raph sat down on the punching back, closing his eyes, as he rested his face in his hands and quick images from the past flowed past his mind. He slowly opened his eyes again, looking towards a large hole in the wall.

'Ana...' Where was she now...?

*

Angel slowly turned to head home, keeping her wings closer to her body, so they wouldn't hit the cold bricks of the wall and roof. Through a small hole, she entered what she had made her home over the past few years. Plants covered the walls and roofs, decorating the room with flowers in all the colors of the world. She smiled somewhat to herself, sitting down on a madras.

Don looked down at Randi's coat which he still held, and then back up. He had no idea what to say. You're too shy... A voice in his head teased.

FUTURE

Mikey walked along a cold rooftop, staring down at the maze of cars and lights and people below him. He sat next to a marble gargoyle, absently running his hand over the smooth stone.

Raph had shown him this place when he was younger....Mikey sighed. He hadn't seen his brothers in a long time, and he couldn't help but wonder what they were up to, and if they were even alive.

Mikey had been the last to leave. He loved attention, and company. He didn't like lonliness. Sighing, Mikey heaved himself up and began to descend to street level, deciding to take a trip down memory lane.

Future:

Over the last few years, Ana had roughed. When she was a teenager, she was always the damsel in distress, but now it was the other way around. Sitting down a large boulder with a thud, Ana sighed, leaning up against her knees. Gazing around, lost in thought, she wondered how all of this came to be.

~Grr... Why was I so stupid? Letting my guard because of some... some guy... But he wasn't some guy was he? He was more than that... Oh Rapheal... I'm sorry...~ she thought, hugging herself.

Present

The door to the girls' room opened and Randi stood in it's frame. She looked first at the whole of the room and then to Angel and Don. Suddenly, she forgot why she had decided to come out when only a few minutes earlier she had chosen simply to hide away. Better make an excuse so not to look as eccentric as she really was. "...Is there anything I can do... to help with the coat?" It was better than nothing... right?

..~*~..

Raph didn't know he had to talk to actually hang out with her. He didn't have to talk when he was hanging out with Ana, and during those rare times when Randi and he weren't at war simply walking in silence seemed to work. He looked at Marsha and gave a slight shrug. "I dunno." He replied and then looked up at the sky. Wait, he did know. "I hate it here..." He replied, "I wanna be someplace... fresh, ya know? where ya can actually see the stars an' stuff. Maybe I should go to the farm?"

Future

Don had been informed that Angel had entered and immediatly left the area. The team had finished thier updates on Charlie and Delta and were now working on Sector Echo. This had been the very hall that Randi had been able to sneak out of undetected by either the Tech Security or her own personal guards. Who, by this time had already informed both Security teams that their beloved leader was yet again missing.

The turtle wasn't worried, though. Graysight could take care of herself... it was Randi and Miranda that he was worried about.

A female hare came running down the path. It was Michaela Topaz, Daniel Topaz's wife. Most likely, she was looking for her kits again. "Have you seen..."

"Chase and Hunt?" Don asked, and shook his head. "No, did you tell Main Security yet?"

"Yes... they're starting a search now..." Michaella, whom Don had determined was just as eccentric as Randi, replied. "Oh those two... they'll be the death of me!"

"I'll keep a look out for them," Don reassured.

"Thank you! I'll see if they're playing in one of the other tunnels."

..~*~..

Randi smirked at Marsha. ~No harm done.~ She then blinked at the mention of Don. "Well, I don't see why not... I mean, he has to eat too." She grinned at them and started for the door.

Marsha blinked a few times. He hated it here? "I see..." she murmured, looking towards the sky again.

Raphael fell silent for about ten minutes. He opened his mouth, closed it, opened again, but no words came out. He wasn't even sure of what he wanted to say.

Future

Leo and Marsha began to follow Randi. "So...where exactly are we going?" Leo asked. Marsha kept silent, her thoughts elsewhere.

She turned her head a bit to smile at Leoa nd Marsha. "My place. I wanna show you around." Randi moved quickly through the sewers as sure as a mouse whose run through the same maze hundreds of times. After a few minutes, she dropped abruptly and turned to stared down a tunnel that wasn't as dark as it should been. Lights danced around and two of them fell on her.

"Graysight!" Came the voice from the tunnel

"What!" Randi's voice sounded slightly harsh and annoyed.

"Ma'am!" The voice replied, only closer. "You disapeared. We went-..."

"People don't just 'disapear', Sergeant Gordan." Randi cut him off, "I did not 'disapear'; for, if I had, I wouldn't be here, now would I?"

The black and white rat who had just appeared out of the tunnel followed by a few other mutants and humans blinked. "Well, uh... I suppose?" The rat, Gordan, looked Marsha and Leo. "And... who are they... Ma'am?"

Randi turned to look at Leo and Marsha. There was a split second look of surprise on her face which quickly went to stone. She looked back to Gordan. "They are friends of mine. The male is Leonardo, he is Donatello's brother. The female is Marsha, she is close to Donatello too. Anymore questions?"

"...No ma'am... would you like us to escort your guests and you back?"

"..." She simply nodded and began to follow the rat and his troupe. She growled to herself. That stupid girl, getting in the way of things. There was no time to play!

Raphael stood up with a grunt, walking towards the door. He needed some fresh air. With quick steps, he got out of his home and up a ladder, only to climb further upwards and standing on to of a building.

"What the?" he asked himself, looking down at a human lying by a phone booth. He looked like he needed help...

*

Angel looked up at the plants covering the walls, as she crossed her legs and positioned herself to meditate. Leo had taught her about it. She really mised him and the other turtles, but after her "little" change, she didn't feel it was a good idea to return to the others. With a sigh, she closed her eyes and meditated, as the flowers started to move and grow, as well as the leeves and branches around her.

With a sigh, she closed her eyes and meditated, as the flowers started to move and grow, as well as the leeves and branches around her.

From behind one of the larger plants in Angel's home, two pairs of soft green eyes watched her with great awe; they had seen people with wings before, but making plants grow like that was completely new. The two looked at each other and then each started for a different side of the room.

It was Chase and Hunt, the very twins that Michaella had been searching for. The two cream colored hares had been able to leave the confines of Alantis by following Miss Graysight; however, in the twists and turns of the sewers they had lost track of the turtle. They two would have panicked but then they spotted Angel and decided to follow her instead. Chase and Hunt knew about Angel, she was one of the mutants that Miss Graysight used to tell them stories about... Miss Graysight never told them about Angel making plants grow!

The one in the Red shirt, Chase had moved to Angel's right and decided to stay there instead of getting closer. Hunt, who was in a blue shirt, had different ideas. When he reached Angel's left, he began to creap closer -- his long soft ears twitching with antisipation (sp) with each step until he was right next to her. Chase let out a silent groan, his brother was going to get them caught!

Wrong!

He moved more to his left in order to get to a plant more behind Angel and instead... tripped over a smaller one. "Woah! Oomph!" Chase fell flat on his face. Hunt froze for a split second and silently dove to hide dirctly behind Angel and her wings.

Chase pushed himself up to a sitting position and then saw his knee. There was blood dripping over the cream-colored fur. The hare sniffled and then began to cry.

[Garou]

"Wha!" Angel yelped in surprise, jerking her body up to sit on her knees. She blinked a little by the sight of the young hare, and then saw the other one trying to hide behind her. She had been so caught up in her meditation, that she hadn't heard anything at all. The feline didn't know what to say. She had been alone for so long that - speaking with anyone seemed so different from what she remembered. She looked down at the hare with the red shirt and sat down beside him. She gently lifted her hands and placed them above his knee, closing her eyes and letting the blue light surround both her hands and the hare's knee. The wound slowly closed itself, leaving no trail of the accident except for some blood still stained in the fur. Angel removed her paws with a small smile, looking up at the kid again.

"Better?" she asked in a soft voice, still sitting beside him.

Leo walked beside her now. "Randi? Who are they? Are they part of the militia?" he asked in a whisper.
Marsha stayed silent as she walked on the other side of Randi. She watched the troops closely, but her thoughts were elsewhere at this time. Finally, she would be able to see Donatello again, but could she even find the courage to gather up a conversation with him? Was this even such a good idea?

The Kit nodded with a sniff and his twin moved up besides him. "Wow..." He mumbled and then looked up at Angel, "You really are an Angel!"

After a considerable amount of time, Raph sat up. "I'm goin' for a walk..." He grumbled and stood. He pause and looked at Marsha, "Wanna come?"

Angel couldn't help but smile at the hare's comment.

"Well, I'm not exactly an angel..." the feline answered and stood up.

"So, what are you two doing here anyway?"

[-Savannah-]

Setting down her book, feeling the need for fresh air rather than foul sewer smells, Ana left quietly out the door. Remembering she needed to keep out of sight from humans, she navigated her way to a manhole that lend to an old alleyway. CLimbing up, Ana pulled herself out, closing the hole with the metal saucer. Breathing in the almost, kinda fresh New York CIty air, she sighed softly looking up, not realizing how near she was to Rapheal and Marsha.

Marsha's thoughts were interrupted by the mention of Atlantis. "Atlantis? I thought that city was just a myth...an urban legend..." she paused, looking at Graysight. "Are we even talking about the same Atlantis?"
Behind the shades, Leonardo rolled his eyes at her questions and kept silent as he walked next to Graysight.

"Hm?" Marsha glanced up at Raphael, a bit surprised he'd asked her to join him. "Uh..sure, a walk sounds fine," she replied, standing up as well.

Ana suddenly heard voices from above. Looking up curiously, she thought she spotted Marsha. "Hm..." she murmured, thinking about joining them.
