Some angsty BAYVERSE TMNT
just a warning this will include violence and in this splinter was once human he taught Jae Lis mother Ninjutsu and she passed this teachings to her daughter
Rain pelted the few people walking down the streets of New York. Most people opted to stay indoors with weather like this. A young woman was walking down the street, the clicking of her short boot heels were dulled by the wet path. She made it to the onsen owned by her mother. She stepped in and pulled her hood down. She took her shoes off and hung her coat up. She made her way to the dojo where her ninjutsu teacher was patiently waiting.
"You are late, Min, you usually aren't this late"
The young woman bowed in apologies. She didn't really speak. Her father had taught her to be silent and let the adults speak. The teacher stood.
Splinter lifted her head up "Don't be afraid to speak my student soon you will be able to break free from your father and you shall be a great ninja" Min smiled and nodded.
Exactly 6 years later, when Min was 18, she met Raen Li. They got on so well and eventually they fell in love. Min got into an argument with her father and used her training to win a fight against him. Although it wasn't perfect and she walked away with multiple cuts and bruises she had broken free just as Splinter said.
At 20 years old Min and Raen married and Raen began his work as a scientist. He was working on genetic research when he was approached by Eric Sachs. He was interested in working with Raen to create a retro mutagen, and without thought Raen agreed. Around this time Raen and Min had a beautiful baby girl, Jae Li. Once Min was strong enough she taught her daughter all she knew about ninjutsu.
Min was unaware of the real goings on in her husbands lab. Aswell as practising the retro mutagen on turtles they used a human test subject aswell, Splinter. Min herself felt weak. She fell ill and was bed ridden. She felt her life was fulfilled, she had taught her daughter to defend herself and taught Jae her own native language which was Japanese.
The few times Raen came home, Jae always had her nose in a book of some sort. Weather it was manga, a science book or just a graphic novella. A year into research Raen wanted out of the project but he knew to much. He found the real reason for testing the mutagen and tried destroying the lab. Jae had gone to see her dad in the lab to ask some questions and rushed in when she saw the flames. Thinking of the animals she picked them up and took them outside. In an alleyway, a humanoid rat was taking the cover off of the sewer entrance. Jae tugged his clothes and held the turtles up to him.
"Keep them safe mister! They don't deserve to die in a fire!"
Splinter saw so much of Min in her eyes and nodded. After he was in the sewers Jae placed the cover back on, with a bit of struggle. She ran home to tell her mom to find her passed away in bed. Jae had lost both parents. She didn't want to go to an orphanage so she packed her stuff she knew she needed such as clothes, sanitary products, money etc. She took her mom's phone and called her grandmother. After hearing what happened her grandmother came and picked her up.
From being 7 Jae was raised by her grandmother. She was home schooled and regularly practised her ninjutsu. As she grew she found a passion, journalism, she started an apprenticeship with channel 6. Her grandmother was so proud of her for finding her passion and helped in anyway she could.
Jae Lis life, however was about to take a drastic turn. She had been wanting to work on the Foot Clan story for so long and yet she was always given the small story's, about celebrity work out coaches and the latest store opening. However one day, after hearing Eric Sachs speak, she and her co-worker, Vern were stuck in traffic. People were running from the subway and Jae hopped out of the can intrigued and tried asking people questions. She ran down to the subway despite Vern telling her no. She was grabbed by a foot soldier and thrown down with the other hostages. She took her phone out while the crazy lady yelled demands. She took a picture and the woman demanded she stand.
As she did the lights flickered out and a yell was heard
The voice laughed and Jae looked around confused. The flashes of light showed glimpses of what seemed to be mutant........turtles. Once the foot were tied up the lights flickered on to show the foot soldiers tied up and the crazy lady slouched on the floor. Jae rushed up to the surface and ran following the sound of voices. She climbed the fire escape reaching the top to see she wasn't dreaming. There were four mutant turtles!
She pulled out her phone and took a picture, the flash going off. She froze in fear as they spoke.
"what was that" one asked
"a camera flash" one replied.
"we know it's a camera flash, who's behind the camera flash"
"by my calculations it's a girl" the tallest spoke.
"with kindness buy her some flowers earn her trust-"
"I got this" a voice growled.
A chain wrapped around Jaes waist and she was yanked over the wall onto the roof. She let out a groan and held her side. Just as she was about to stand one of the mutants landed infront of her.
"Gimme the camera" he growled and Jae looked up slowly the childish mutant imitated him "ooh look he's doing his batman voice!". He took a sai out and growled "if you don't gimme that camers ill-"
"ENOUGH" came a sharp yell and another mutant landed behind Jae on the wall "back off raph!"
The red masked one threw his hands up in defeat "and I only saw batman once!" He snapped at the childish one
"ma'am hello sorry my colleague here forgot to say please, so I'll you please hand over the camera" Jae back away and bumped into Mikey and shrieked
"woah hey just a mask see" as soon as he took the mask off she fainted. The purple cladded turtle sighed "oh I think that went well" as Jae came around and the turtles were grouped Infront of her
"why are we still here playing doctor" the red cladded one growled and the blue rolled his eyes "she may have a head injury". The childish one piped up "correction she's a hot chick who may have head injury which make sit our civic duty-"
"ma'am ma'am" the tall one snapped his fingers Infront of her face "do you know where you are do you know what city your in?"
"have you seen that video where the cat plays chopsticks with the chopsticks" the blue cladded one shoved the youngest one "can we be serious here!"
"guys please give her some room to breath" the tallest spoke and Jae stood slowly "w..what are you" blue looked at his brothers "well miss...we're ninjas*
"we're mutants" the red one spoke.
"technically we are turtles" the purple donned one spoke.
"oh and were teenagers" orange smiled
Jae shook her head "so your ninja mutant turtle teenagers-" the boys looked at her "well when you put it like that it sounds ridiculous" purple scoffed.
"she's looking at us like we're freaks bet that's why you took our picture show your friends" red snapped and orange piped up "dude that's good maybe she has hot friends!"
Red held up Jaes phone "looking for this" Jaes eyes widened "no no please don't break it" the phone was snatched by blue "how many times do I have to tell you we don't break things we fix them Donnie already wiped the phone genius problem solved moving on!" Red shoved blue "who put you in charge" blue glared "you know who did" he retorted.
Orange piped up "ohhh tension it's been like 30 whole minutes since you guys had this argument"
Purple tapped blue "Leonardo if we wanna make it home before sensei we have to hustle"
Jae looked down and whispered Leo's name he went up to her and passed her her phone "do not say word about this to anyone or we will find you Jae Min Li we are on the move Raphael" he looked at red and she muttered his name under her breath
Orange popped up "yeah we'll find you Li" he walked off before coming back "I'm sorry that was super creepy but we will find you"
The boys ran off and Jae ran after them pulling her phone out and took a picture as they jumped down. She looked at her phone unable to believe what she had just witnessed. She had to tell her boss, she had to prove they were real.
