A little while later after wandering around Central Park you returned to the factory to find the others getting ready for the job. You took that as your sign to also grab your gear and change your clothes.

You left on your black leggings but changed your sneakers to black combat boots, a black long sleeve shirt and put a black mask over the bottom half of your face. You brushed your hair back with your fingers and used an elastic to tie your hair into a high ponytail. You fastened your knife holsters to your upper arm and one on your upper leg. You returned out to where the other three were waiting.

"Alright the plan is pretty simple we break in as quickly as possible, get in, get the merchandise and get out. Sid, (Y/N), you two watch the exits and me and Tsoi will get what we need." Fong looked at you now. "You'll be watching the back exit. I want you to be out of the way unless we absolutely need you."

You nodded. Why should I bother coming than? You thought but you didn't feel like arguing with him so you just decided to make the best of it.

Get in, get what we need and get out. That's it. Pretty simple right?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After making it to a big tower with the letters; T, C, R, I on the side there was a specific room on the top floor where you'd find what you were sent to retrieve. Well, what Fong and Tsoi would be retrieving. You rolled your eyes as you were posted at the back entrance to the lab on the top floor. Fong seemed pretty set on keeping you 'out of the way' so you figured also from the conversation you two had earlier, he was expecting retaliation.

You leaned against the back wall and closed your eyes. What are you feeling? Do you have feelings? Your eyes shot open. Where did that come from? Your thought were interrupted when you all of a sudden heard the clashing sound of metal on metal and loud grunts and thuds.

Uh oh. That must've been the 'company' Fong was expecting. You drew your knives and entered the door through a long hall that led to the room where all the racket was coming from. You than heard a high pitched yelp and you soon realized it was you whom had cried out. A sharp three pointed weapon was thrown near you almost pinning you in the face. It just barely missed you. You than turned your attention to the scene before you. Your 'family' fighting and failing against four tall, green creatures. All four of them had different colored bandannas and different weapons.

There was a blue masked one with sapphire blue eyes and two twin blade katanas. He was clearly very skilled and well taught with them for he swung them around with such accuracy and speed that you could tell he was definitely not fighting against Fong with all he could.

The next one had an orange mask with baby blue eyes. He had such a youthful and playful look about him it was almost unnerving to see him wielding nunchucks. It seemed quite easy for him to quickly overpower Tsoi.

You noticed the third figure making his way to a large opened safe (which you had assumed Fong had already opened) that had a strange green glow coming from it. You noticed the figure had a purple mask and reddish brown eyes. Strapped to his back was a long staff that looked like it had seen quite a few fights.

The last one had a red mask and striking electric green eyes that it almost felt it would take your breath away. You could see that Sid was struggling to overpower him as he almost danced around him in an array of well placed punches and kicks which rendered Sid useless. You than also noticed that the creature had the same sharp three pointed weapon tucked into his belt. Sid must've knocked the other out if his hand which is why it had come hurdling at you.

Taking a closer look at all four figures you soon starred with an opened mouth wide eyed expression when you finally noted that the figures were not people but turtles?! Is this what Fong meant when he said freaks?

All of this takes so much time to say but it really took no time at all. You quickly scooped up the weapon and slipped it into the large black shoulder bag you had on. You gripped your knives more tightly and rushed into the scene. Sid was down so you rushed towards the red masked turtle with a loud cry and he suddenly darted his eyes towards you and defended against your on coming attack.

All four of them looked surprised to see you and after the purple masked one finished cleaning out that safe of its contents he nodded to the blue masked turtle whom than called a retreat. You could tell the red masked turtles was not too happy about retreating but he obeyed and quickly ran to join the other three. And just as quickly as they had come, they were gone. Leaving you and your 'family' to lick your wounds.

  You panted as the other three regained consciousness. Fong turned to you. "What happened?" He snapped.

"They got away." You said in between breaths.

"Did they see you?"

"Yes. I didn't really have a choice." You said with slight contempt. "We're not getting paid are we?" Sid asked. Fong was seething with fury. Tsoi reminded him that the deadline to get the items to your employer wasn't for another four days.

We'll have to come back here tomorrow." Fong said. The other looked a little hesitant to run through it again and get their butts kicked again but no one argued. Fong gave you a glare as you all turned to leave.

Honestly you weren't really feeling like yourself tonight. And after that whole encounter, everyone's mood seemed to be effected as well. You all walked quietly and quickly back to the hideout. As soon as you made it back you quickly rushed to your room not wishing to get a lecture from Fong about...well you didn't know really. I mean, you had known Fong had mostly wanted you out of sight but they had needed you. What were you supposed to do? Fong clearly didn't really want you to be on the mission but it was clear he hadn't really had a choice. But why? You quickly got undressed and into bed. Knowing Fong he'd come to chew you out. As soon as you got dressed and got under your blanket, turned your lamp off, Fong opened the door. He peaked his head in but when he saw you 'sleeping' he lingered for a second than shut the door again.

You relaxed and adjusted to get more comfortable. You might as well actually go to bed. You remembered the weapon in your bag.

Hmm.
