Mikey carefully pulled the bandage tight before taking the old bandage and throwing it away. As he made his way back to the couch, Mikey grabbed the remote and sat on the couch. "So, what do you typically watch?" Mikey asked as the figure tried to get comfortable. She only shrugged her shoulders, causing Mikey to look at the TV with a grin and turn it on. When he did, Ms. Cuddles suddenly appeared on the TV, chuckling. "DIE IN A PIT YOU SPOOKY RAT!" The figure yelled suddenly, causing Mikey to look at her, seeing the figure holding up a knife suddenly. Mikey yelped and changed the channel before the figure could throw the knife at the TV. Mikey shifted his gaze to the figure who slowly put the knife behind the couch, her eyes narrowed at the TV.

"Not a fan of Ms. Cuddles I assume?" Mikey chuckled nervously. "No, no I'm not." The figure said bluntly as she stared at the TV. "Noted, I'll avoid her." Mikey said as he began to flip through the channels quickly. While outside, Mikey's brothers were sitting on a roof top. Donnie was trying to use his googles, but the tech was a little damaged since the fight with the Shredder, so it could only track certain things and weren't able to show Donnie what the two were doing in the apartments. All the windows were boarded up, except the one Mikey and the Figure had slipped through. Leo was sitting next to Donnie, his hands in circles around his eyes almost like he was using actual binoculars.

Raph was using an actual pair as he stood above the group. "You guys know that what you're doing isn't working, right?" Donnie asked in annoyance as he slipped his goggles up a bit. "We're acting like we're helping. Now shhhhhhhh." Leo said, shushing his brother harshly. That's basically how it was, the brothers tried to see what Mikey was doing while him and the figure only watched TV. The figure wasn't much for talking, but listened to Mikey as he rambled. It was mainly just about how Mikey wanted a peaceful night after several weeks of his family fighting, the figure remained silent during the whole time, which Mikey noticed. The show that was currently on the TV was a Latino show, one that Leo had talked about often. This meant that Mikey had his attention directed to The figure more since he couldn't understand what was going on. 

"Do, do you have a family." Mikey asked, staying quiet in hopes to not anger the figure. She looked at him for a moment before looking back to the ground again. "I don't think so. I was raised to be a fighter, one that made sure the last thing my opponent saw was me ending them, no matter the circumstances." The figure said as she looked at her hand. She then closed her hand and turned to look at Mikey, who was more concerned and terrified of course. The figure senses that Mikey might've been scared she'd do the same to him. "I ran away after my sensi found my replacement and planned to end me as well."

"O-oh. That's nice I suppose." Mikey said nervously as the Figure shrugged her shoulders. "Outside of that, I've never bothered to figure out if I have an actual family." The figure said as she turned to the TV. "Wha- why?" Mikey asked, a little saddened that someone would rather stay in a stupid old apartment instead of finding a family that could make up all the lost time you missed out on. "For two reasons. One, why should I find my family if they never tried to find me?" The figure asked as she gestured to herself. Mikey was about to argue back, but the figure held up her hand to silence him.

"Two. If my family really were looking for me, would they even want me around." The figure said as she moved her hand back to her side. "I saw how you reacted when I told you my old job. What's stopping them from hating me and thinking I'm nothing more than an evil monster." The figure said, Mikey frowned at this  as he looked at the ground. "I'm sorry about that, it's just not everyday in New York you hear the random stranger you meet on the streets could possibly be a killer!" Mikey said with a grin, both were silent again.

"You are aware that's what most strangers would be, especially if you meet them at night." The figure deadpanned as Mikey laughed nervously. "Yeah, that's true." Mikey said, The figure rolled her eyes as she turned back to the TV. "Oh, I love this part. It's where they start shooting each other and somehow, no one gets hit." The figure said and got up to grab something to snack on. Mikey looked back at the TV in wonder. "I got some celery and peanut butter I can make, want some?" The figure asked as she grabbed a chef's knife. Mikey sat up on the couch and grabbed the top. "Yes please!" Mikey asked with a bright smile. The figure said smirked and was about to grab the celery when loud gun shots could heard from the TV.

They had turned up the TV because they could hardly hear the TV, so the audio actually worked right when the shoot-off started. Mikey yelled out in surprise and clutched onto the couch as The figure looked up and seemed annoyed, the TV really annoyed her at times. Leo, Donnie and Raph heard the TV and Mikey yelled out, causing them all to get up quickly. "Donnie!" Leo yelled as he looked at his brother. "On it!" Donnie said as he grabbed something off his shell and threw it to the building. It turned out to be a small bomb and it destroyed the wall.

"GO, GO,GO,GO,GO!!" Leo yelled as he and his brothers jumped from the building and tried to get to the building quickly. Once they did, they saw Mikey and the figure coughing from the dust. "I got the baddie!" Raph yelled as he ran to The Figure. The figure saw this and spun the knife around, the tip pointing backwards. Leo and Donnie rushed over to Mikey and grabbed him. "Huh? Wha- Let me go!" Mikey yelled as he tried to get out of his brother's grasp. The Figure ducked under a punch Raph tried to land, only for the figure to slip between Rap[h's legs and jumping up behind Raph.

The figure then jumped onto Raph's shell and slammed his body into the fridge by pushing him with her weight. The figure stood up and threw the knife back into the holster. "Let me go!" Mikey yelled, gaining The figure's attention. The figure looked at the island and saw the hidden device on the side, quickly grabbing it to reveal a laser gun of some sorts. "Put him down, now!" The figure said as the gun began to warm up, a low yellow glow emit from the gun. "How about we take you where you belong!" Leo yelled angrily, shockingly filling the figure's face when she saw Leo's face. "She sent you, she sent you to find me." The figure said, her shocked grin now turned angered.

"You lair, I should've known you didn't help me out of kindness." The figure said as she quickly aimed the gun at Mikey. Raph finally got himself out of the fridge as Leo and Donnie used their bodies to try and block the figures attack. "NO!" Raph yelled as he ran to the figure and back handed her, knocking the gun out of the figure's hand whilst she fell to the ground. "So you did steal those weapons!" Donnie yelled in triumph as Raph stood next to the figure, who was shaking as she whipped her mouth. Mikey was shocked at this as Leo still held him in a protective hold, eyes narrowed at the figure.
