He knew how this battle would end. He knew how most of the battles would have ended and so did his brothers. The kraang brain the blue banded turtle held squealed desperately to get out of his strong grip, so he lazily let it drop onto the moist pavement of the sewers and allowed it to scurry away without giving chase. His hand rested on the damp brick walls and he leaned his shell against it as he listened to the world above his head.

Despite the bitter cold air and the fact that it was almost midnight, cars continuously blared their horns at each other and the noise of footsteps repeatedly tapped on the sidewalk as the people rushed through the city. The smell of something burning reached his nose and he closed his eyes as the smell reminded him of the invasion that happened a month ago. Kraang droids holding guns marching everywhere, explosions, pink kraang brains soaring above their heads in machines as they attacked the humans, April caught by the kraang, and him almost dying, twice. Their battle was challenging, but thrilling at the same time, but from the noises above his head, everything seemed to go back to normal for the humans, like the events from the previous month hadn't happened, but for the turtles, nothing had been the same as before.

For some reason he sort of missed the good old days with kraang droids to battle against almost every night, but when he thought about it again, maybe he only wanted things to go back to normal so he could cover up his boredom.

He glanced at his brothers faces and by the looks of it, they looked bored too, well, except the youngest one.

"Booyakashaaaaa!" Michelangelo yelled as he knocked out 3 kraang droids with a 720 swing of his kusarigama. "Oh yeah!" he cheered while celebrating with a moon walk.

"Michelangelo, stop celebrating we're not even done yet!" Donatello yelled while ducking from a blow from a droid. The purple banded brother wasn't sure why he had yelled though, considering they had nothing to worry about and that the battle would end soon. Oh well, never mind him. It's not like there will be an army of kraang suddenly jumping out at us, he thought to himself.

Mikey instantly froze after hearing his brother's angry tone and sheepishly grinned at him. "Sorry Don. It's just that, it's been a while since there's been something exciting happening around here!"
Even this isn't that exciting, the purple banded turtle shook his head as he slammed his bō into the head of the droid.

After a couple more flips, punches and kicks the turtles knocked out the last kraang droid. "I guess that's the last of them", Leonardo announced as he stood up from his position of leaning against the wall. The red banded turtle nodded in agreement and added, "Well that was easy…as usual", as he picked up the kraang brain and threw it behind him and hit the wall.

The four turtles began to trot back to the lair, but Donnie froze in his spot and remembered the shuriken he threw sometime in the battle. He knew that they must never leave any evidence behind just in case. He jogged down the pavement with his feet lightly thumping against the ground as he searched for his throwing star. Several kraang droids lay sprawled on the moist sewer floor and the moonbeams seeped through the holes of the storm drain above his head. He carefully stepped over the empty robot bodies and almost tripped over one due to the lack of light at their location. He spotted his shuriken and breathed a sigh of relief as he ran to fetch it. The silver weapon was unfortunately stuck to the wall and he wrapped his hands around it to wrench it out. The purple banded turtle was finally able to pull the throwing star out of the wall and his hands flew back in a windmill motion as he fell to the ground. As he picked up his throwing star, he noticed something green lying on the ground nearby. He wanted to walk away from it and act like it wasn't there, but a special force had pulled him towards it, and he decided to take a quick look. As Donnie carefully crept closer to it, his eyes widened.

"Um guys, you might want see this", He called out to his brothers. The three brothers instantly stopped in their tracks and flipped around when they heard their purple banded brother's voice. From the tone of his voice, it sounded as if he found something interesting, so they hurriedly ran towards him to see what he found. As they approached Donatello, they could identify a green shape their brother was kneeling close to.

When they reached Donnie, the green thing wasn't actually an object, but a human. All three of them froze in their spots and their faces began to turn into a light shade of green. "Donnie! What are you doing?!" Raph hissed.

Donnie slowly stood up and faced his brothers with a worried look on his face. "This man", he started, "Got shot by a plasma gun one of the kraang robots used. Don't worry though, it only hit below his rib cage and it didn't harm any organs, so he's very lucky." When he told them the good news he expected them to breathe a sigh of relief, or show any sign of happiness, but they still had their shocked expressions plastered on their faces.

All of a sudden, the eldest brother began to laugh a little, although it was not the best time to. "Aaaaaaand you're going to take him back to the lair to recover", He said sarcastically and continued laughing. After his chuckles had died down, he looked up at his purple banded brother who had serious look on his face.

"Wait. So you are going to take him back to the lair?!" Raphael said angrily and shocked when he also saw the look on his brother's face.

"Well you'd do the same if it was a pretty girl instead wouldn't ya Raphie?" Mikey asked teasingly.

Raph whipped his head around and shot his little brother a deadly look as he stomped towards him. "You're gonna be very sorry for that Mikey! When I'm done with you, you'll-", the hotheaded turtle started but Donnie interrupted him before he could explode.

"Look guys, this man needs serious medical attention and he's losing a lot of blood as we speak! I know Master Splinter wouldn't want us to take a stranger to the lair, but I can come up with a very good explanation. Don't worry Leo, leave it to me", he explained when he saw the look on his eldest brother's face.

Leo closed his eyes and sighed. "Alright Donnie, I trust you", he answered and with that, they hurriedly scooped up the green hooded man and carried him back to the lair.

Fin

(Just saying, this is not a slash fic, even though it says Raph/OC in the summary. Read on to find out)

So, that was my first chapter of my first fanfic! Please review and give some feed forward on my writing. Not sure when I could post the second chapter, but maybe next week. This is based after season 1 of the 2012 series and will not include anything from season 2 (althought I may put Casey Jones in here). Oh and thanks to SleepingSeeker on feed forward on this first chapter! I promise my writing improves and so will the story, it's just that the first chapter is quite short because I had a hard time writing it. I do not own TMNT.
