Deeper than the Ocean ⚔ (A TMNT 2012 FanFiction)

8|| Red Heads and Cocky Boys

|| General P.O.V. ||

As Master Splinter talked to the four brothers about the current situation in his room, Lotus scooped the last bowl of Mikey's pizza soup, humming along with Ice Cream Kitty.

Yes, she ate the WHOLE pot.

And yes, she met Ice Cream Kitty, but it didn't really faze her much. Too much happening-talking ninja mutant turtles teenagers in the sewers with their master rat- yep, all good. Not that a pet ice cream cat in the freezer would make much a difference.

"Yo, guys! What's up!" A new voice. A male one. A cocky one. Lotus scoffed. But then she stood alert. People shouldn't be down here!

She carefully took the nearest weapon in her hand-which just happened to be the empty soup pot, hot from the stove top.

"Shush Casey! The guys OBVIOUSLY aren't just here! Their probably doing something important!" A girls voice rang out, scolding the boy.

Lotus just simply sticked to wall, and slowly inched closer to the entrance, trying to peek at the mysterious teens.

Wait, they know the turtles?

"What important would they possibly be doing without the awesome Casey Jones?"

Casey Jones. Hmm that name seemed familiar.

"A lot things. But something quiet might be meditating."

Or talking about me.

"Pshh, meditating isn't important."

"Yes it is! Master Splinter says it's essential in order to become a true ninja!"

"I'm too good to be a ninja!"

"Says someone who can't even beat Raph without his laser gloves."

"Ouch, Red. That hurt. Mind massaging my sore spot?"

I could practically see the smirk on his face.

"In your dreams, Casey."

I decided to go further. I stepped forward carefully.

But then the unthinkable happened.

I accidentally stepped on an empty chip bags.

Boys.

I cringed as the bag made a deafening crunch. Well not that loud, but it still gave away my cover.

"Who's there! Mikey?"

I could hear the footsteps getting closer. I feel my heart rate rising as I gripped the pan. Adrenaline rushed through my veins. I loved it. I smiled before jumping into action.

"COWABUNGA!!!" (A/n yes I know this is the 2012 version but I couldn't come up with a better battle cry XD)

I lunged at the boy first, hitting him on the head with the pan making him fall unconscious. I looked up the girl next.

She had on a yellow shirt on top of a long sleeve black shirt that went to halfway her hand and elbow. Her shorts were on top of black leggings. Her short red hair was in a ponytail and held back with a yellow headband.

She whipped out a fan. Oh what's she gonna do? Swat me away? Psh, I could take her.

We circled each other and lunged at each other. She swiped her fan at me and I narrowly missed, the sharp metal grazing just an inch in front of my nose.

Okay so maybe I shouldn't have jumped into this with just a pot. But I wasn't giving up this easily. I swung the pot down. She ducked as expected, and I swiped her feet from below her. She fell with a thud and I pinned her, holding the pot to her throat.

"Are you seriously threatening me with a cooking pot?"

My cheeks flushed.

"Yep."

Suddenly, a new voice came into our scene.

"April, are you-APRIL! Are you okay! Lotus! Let her go! She my friend!" Donatello yelled, probably seeing what the commotion was about.

I saw Leonardo and Raphael come behind him.

Raph looked at the unconscious Casey, startled. "What did you do!?" He yells, eyes narrowing.

I get off April and hold out a hand to her, helping her up and giving her apologetic smile. She smiles warmly back. I think we're going to be good friends.

I turn to Raph and put my hands up. "Wasn't me." I give him a toothy grin. "It was the pot." I say, pointing to the cooking device in my hand.

"Sure."

"HEY! Where did all the pizza soup go?!" Mikey says from the kitchen.

Leo stops and turns to me, then looks at the pot in my hand.

"Did you eat ALL of MIKEY's SOUP?"

I shrink back, feeling bad. "Yes?"

"Wow, you like that stuff?" Raph scoffs. I say nothing and just look down.

"Come on, let's get Casey on te couch," red head says.

"I'll take his arms, you get his legs red girl."

She does as I say and then looks at me confused.

"Red Girl?"

"I don't really know you're name."

"Oh! I'm April O'Neil! You?"

"Lotus Kimaro."

"Well Lotus, I think we're gonna be great friends."

I just smile and take cocky boy on the couch.

She ate ALL of the soup I made? The one that my brothers hated? Wow, this girl is weird. But at least someone likes my cooking.
