:Chapter 1:

Austria Westly pulled out her camera and snapped a photo of the artwork in front of her. "Austria your such a nerd" her friend Madison snapped.

"What?! I'm not a nerd! Don't you think this stuff is interesting?" she said.

"Yeah, as interesting as a cow eating grass" Austria frowned as Madison and her girlfriends laughed aloud. "Seriously Aus, there's nothing interesting about "The last Super" she hissed. "Its pronounced "The Last SUPPER" you no brain" Madison flipped her hair and popped a hip. "Whatever, come on girls lets leave Aus to her boring research" They snickered at her and left down the museum hallway.

"They don't get it" Austria lowered her camera and frowned. "They just don't get it" "Don't get what?" Austria whipped herself around to get a look at the strange voice originating from behind was her history teacher Mr. Pawn. "Oh nothing, I was just…taking photos and the other girls were making fun of me you know, the usual" Mr. Pawn laughed and stared at the artwork mounted in the protective glass.

"Don't take it to heart Austria, some people just don't find Leonardo Da Vinci very inspiring" Aussie chuckled to herself "Some people don't find ANTHING inspiring" she smiled angelically. "You're a good student Aus, lets keep it that way" "Sure thing Mr. Pawn" He nodded his head and left. "Who the hell is Leonardo Da…." Aus got a closer look at the painting's inscription "Oh….right"

Meanwhile, beneath the endless sewers of New York City:

"I swear ta God Mikey if you don't cut it out im ganna!" "Your ganna what? Explode? Well that my brother may be my goal here HAHA"

Raphael chased his younger brother endlessly around the living room of their lair. Raph's superior endurance allowed him to grab the smaller turtle and pin him to the floor with no trouble.

"geeze Raph this is a little odd don't you think?" Mike laughed in a sinister tone. "Well Michelangelo it wouldn't be odd if ya would just CONTROL YOURSELF!" Raph yelled at him furiously which only made Mike laugh even more "Your funny Raphie" Suddenly, Raphael growled and blew air strongly out his nostrils "I told you…..NEVA TO CALL ME RAPHIE!"

He pulled out one of his 6 inch sais and slammed it hard next to his little brothers head. "Leo! Raph's trying to kill me again!" Mikey screamed "What?! You started it by poking me 800 times in the frickin shell you numskull!" Mike laid his hands flat on the floor and pushed up sending Raphael flying off him.

Raph was the largest of his three other brothers. He had dark forest green skin which gave his face, covered by a red mask with a few tears here and there, a more threatening look. Mikey, was short and helpless but being the wise cracker of the family, he easily earned his reputation. His yellow green skin was complimented with an Orange mask and he wasn't as muscular and toned as Raphael and compared to him, Mike was a shrimp.

"Doesn't Raphie wanna play?" He grinned and said in a girlish voice. Thankfully, he knew better to start running in advance from the anger driven Raphael. "Knock it off you two!" Leonardo leaped down from the balcony to the upper level and landed hard on the floor. He rolled his shoulders back and crossed his arms.

"Good mornin fearless" Raph imitated his stance and grinned. "I don't find you amusing Raphael. Ive been listening to you two fight all morning! And not only me, Donnie and Sensei are trying to train and you guys are out here making altercations!"

"oooooh, big word someone fetch the dictionary" Mikey hid behind the couch to escape Leo's wrath. Leonardo was the oldest of the four and naturally fell into the position as the leader of his brothers. His eyes were coverd by a light blue mask that clashed with his sea green skin.

"Im serious Michelangelo!" He also tended to use his brothers full names whenever he was angry instead of their nicknames. Something he picked up from his Sensei, who never used their nicknames anyway which probably meant he was mad at them all the time.

"Relax dude!" Mikey shrieked when Leo went lunging for him behind the couch. He screamed like a little girl and took off upstairs. "I love it when your angry" Raph grinned and shot his brother a wink. He rolled his eyes and pointed one of this three fingers at him. "Try me, ill knock you on your shell" "Geeze bro you sound like me more and more everyday" He chuckled "That's because you three are getting harder and harder to deal with everyday!" Leo stormed off to the dojo with a kick in his step.

:Meanwhile in Brooklyn:

"Austria! This food is cold you little brat!" Austria's mom yelled at her from on the couch in their living room.

"Sorry mam! I'll heat it up for you right away!" Aussie stopped cleaning the dishes and ran to her mothers aid. She shoved the plate of roast beef and sauerkraut into her daughters pruned hands "and don't make it too hot! Or im puttin yah in the basement for the night!" she screamed. "Yes mam, Sorry Mam" Aussie quickly ran back to the kitchen to heat the food. She tried to set the old broken microwave for 1 minute but it backfired and punched in 10 minutes. "Oh whatever, I'll get it out in a minute"she said to herself and went back to finish the piled dishes from preparing the meal.

She stared out the window in front of the sink. Her house may be old, cracked and falling apart, but the one thing she did have was a beautiful view of the city. She's lived so close to it all these years and has never actually been there. Shes asked her mom every year on her birthday to go but her request was always ignored.

She pictured herself walking its streets, taking photos, oh how she loved to take pictures. Her Grandma had given her the Nixon camera as a gift before she passed away a few years ago. She had to hide it under her bed in fear that her mom would take it away from her and sell it to pay rent. She imagined herself on wall street, and broadway. Seeing her first broadway show would mean everything in the world!

"Aussie! Whats taking yah so long im starvin over here!" Austria gasped and ran to the microwave and pulled the broken door open. 3 minutes was left on the timer and the food was soggy and steaming hot.

"Oh umm…nothing mam! I'll have it out to you in a minute!" she used a towel to pull the burning plate out then she tried to fan it off as quick as she could. "No I want it now!" her mother screeched. "uh…uh..coming right up! You sure you don't want a drink or nothing to go with it?" "AUSTRIA!" she carried the plate out on a towel and handed it to her mother.

"I don't want the goddamn towel!" she said "Mom…I mean mam, Its really hot" "I thought I told you not to burn it! Finish the dishes then go to your room! I'll let your father deal with you when he gets back from work!" Austria started to cry "Please Mom, Mam, Im sorry. Please don't…" "GO AWAY!" her mom yelled directly in her face.

Aus started bawling and instead of going back to the kitchen, she took off out the door.

"AUSTRIA! Get back here! you'll be sorry! I promise you! YOU WILL BE SORRY!" Thankfully her mother was 350 pounds to heavy to get up off the couch and chase her.

She's never done something like this before, she's never taken off against her mothers command and it felt so wrong…but it felt so good. She felt free as she ran as fast as she could down her community road, the wind blowing her long brown hair behind her except for a few pieces which were stuck to her tearing face. She ran, leaving nothing but a trail of sorrow and a broken childhood behind her and she knew where she was going. New York City.
