TMNT- I'm Not Human Either (Leonardo x Reader)

CHAPTER 1- If You Want It, Take It

SETTING: Y/N'S APARTMENT, 12:10AM.
POV: Y/N L/N. 1st person.

April and Casey seem to be good people.

They're the first friends I have made here in New York, and even though it was only because we had to get together for a group project- it still makes me happy.

But they don't know.

A couple of years ago, my life changed for the worse. I lived in Pennsylvania at the time, living in a big city- just like New York. My mother was out of the picture, so it was only my dad and I when Christmas came along. My dad's a scientist, so he often worked late nights- even during Christmas break.

One night... he left for a trip to New York City and he just disappeared. He never came home after work.

I searched for him alone in the cold, but I couldn't find him. I called 911 and my brother took me in after I told him about it all and I never saw my father again, as he was deemed missing. I still went back to the house a day later, but I should've stayed home.

At a very young age I was fascinated with robots. When I told my father I wanted to make some, he bought me the equipment and taught me some tricks. He dedicated a whole room to my new hobby, and I would spend all day in there. I still do it now, and I've gotten pretty good at it. If you don't believe me, believe all of the colleges contacting me and some agents.

When I went back to the house, I went into the room to gather my things to be transferred to my brother's place. However, it was a complete mess... the rest of the house was normal- all except for that room. Some things were missing, and some things were left out... the thing that stood out the most to me... was the bright, green liquid in a big canister. It looks like it could be a lamp if you add a lampshade on top- but that was besides the point.

I was devastated to see the room... but as I went towards the big canister- something shuffled. Someone shuffled.

I will never forget that voice- the voice of the thief that wronged me.

???. "Listen, I'll make this quick... just give me the canister- and no one will get hurt." They called out.

Y/N. "Who the hell are you?! What are you doing in my home?!" I yelled out.

The mysterious figure scorned, "I just needed some things."

"In MY home? That's robbery." I call out, "In fact- what's stopping me from calling the cops?" I reply- grabbing and holding the canister over my body in the air, getting out my phone with my other hand.

"Then you leave me with no choice..." The thief smiled, pulling out 3 shurikens. Quickly, they throw one straight into my phone- making a big dent into it. The impact causes me to drop it- shaking my hand. Followed by 2 shurikens nearly hitting my feet, I stumbled backwards- holding the canister to my chest.

At the time, I thought that as long as I had what they wanted, they would give my stuff back as a deal. After all, my father gave me these items... and as I felt like I was losing him- they were precious to me. The second they threw those throwing stars at me, I knew they were wanting a fight.

I was no fighter back then.

The figure stepped closer- as I saw more of my intruder. A male with a black afro. He attempted to snatch the canister out of my hands- but I fought back in a game of tug of war. However, I lost- and the thief snatched it out of my hands. In retaliation, I quickly grabbed his left leg as he started to bolt, biting it. This causes him to yelp- throwing the canister into the air.

It hits a nearby desk that has a bunch of bolts and cogs. I quickly stumble and snatch the canister from the desk. I look back at the thief- who was staring at me intently. Suddenly, he gets a call- to which to my surprise- he picks up rather quickly.
