Raphael x reader

Chapter 5

Leonardo is shadowing his red cladded sibling after Raphael sneaked out of the lair once again. Ever since Raph got back from that Foot attack he's been acting weird. He's locking himself in his room more, spacing out during training and checking his shell cell every 5 freaking minutes! (slight exaggeration, but still a lot!) Raph is hiding something, and Leo is going to get to the bottom of this.

The two turtles are running over rooftops for about twenty minutes when Raphael jumps off of the building they were currently occupying.
When Leo gets to the edge of the roof his brother is nowhere in sight.

"Where'd he go?" The blue clad turtle asks himself. He decides to scan the area, beginning with the alleyway underneath him.

'Raph is inside this building, I just know it.' Leo is pacing on the roof he last saw his brother half an hour ago. He had scanned a good portion of the surrounding area but didn't find any other clues to where Raphael went. 'But where? He can't just walk around in an apartment complex! What if someone sees him?' He paused his pacing. 'What if that is what happened! Raph let himself be seen and he didn't tell us?! He can be so..so... Argh!' Leonardo groans in frustration. 'Okay Leo. Deep breath, first thing first. I need to find out if this is true, and if so, who this human is and if they can be trusted. There is no reason to jump to conclusions.'

After a little while of looking through the windows and waiting, one of the windows opens and Raphael jumps out and runs straight in the direction of the lair. Leonardo was standing in the shadows of the roof the next building over. He barely catches a glimpse of a young woman before she closes the window Raph had just come out of.
Not five minutes pass or the same girl walks out of the front door. Leo decides to follow her.

~~~~~

You are walking back from the 24/7 shop. You and Raph had been cooking (you had managed to con him into helping you.) the kitchen was a mess and the pantry empty. You needed some things for breakfast tomorrow, your stomach demanded it.

Anyway you are walking down the darkened streets of New York, the only light illuminating your way the occasional street lamp, when you feel eyes on you. Your creeper sense starts tingling and you fasten your pace. The feeling doesn't leave you. In fact, it gets stronger.

When you walk past an alleyway, several figures appear seemingly out of nowhere. They push you into the ally. You drop your groceries. You manage to make out their uniform. They look like...ninja? 'Oh no.' You think when you make the connections. 'These are the Foot ninja Raph told me about. This is bad. This is really really bad.'

About half a dozen highly trained assassins surround you and when you look up, you see about a dozen more on the rooftops. This was a fight you couldn't win, not by a long shot. But you weren't going out without giving them some hell first. One of the ninja steps forward and grabs your arm painfully tight, and another steps up to do the same. You won't let him. You scream as loud as you can in the ear of the ninja holding you, stunning him (and hopefully alerting other people), before kicking him right in the gonads.Then you grab your pepper spray and spray the other in the eyes. You try to make a break for it, but before you've ran 3 steps you get tackled by another two ninja. One of them holds a katana to your throat.

Right when you were saying your final prayers, something in the shadows catches you eye. One by one the Foot ninja fall to the mystery person when they try to take their attacker out. You lie on the cold stones, stunned, occasionally seeing the reflection of a blade emerge from the dark to strike the evil ninja.

Before long all your attackers lay unconscious. A voice speaks out of the shadows next to you.

"Are you alright miss?"

You look to where the voice came from and catch a glimpse of royal blue.

"Uh.. Y-yeah. A bit shaken up, but I think I'm okay. Thank you." You say while scrambling back on your legs and dusting yourself off.

"Do you know why the Foot is after you?" The voice sounds so serious.

"I don't- wait. Oh no, I don't think they are after me. Shit, Raph. But how'd they know?" You mumbled most of it but the mystery person heard you.

"You can't mean my brother?"

"Dunno man, you'd have to step into the light, I heard the family resemblance is pretty distinct."

The figure seems to contemplate for a moment. "Please don't freak out."

"Nah." You wave your hand dismissively and take a step back to give him room.

Just as you had anticipated, a Turtle steps out of the shadow. This one is slightly taller then Raphael, has twin katanas in his hands and is wearing a blue mask. His royal blue eyes are fixed on your face.

"Blue huh. So that must mean you are Leonardo? Man I heard so much about you! Ah, I'm Y/n, it's nice to meet you." You finish with a grin. Your more at ease now. What you had heard from Raph, Leo wasn't a bad guy, (If you interpret Raph's angry ranting about his eldest bro as something positive) and he just saved your life!

"Yeeeaah, so you do know Raphael? How?" Leo asks, shocked that you know his name.

"Ah, figures Raph didn't tell you guys about me." You frown and look around. You didn't want to be in this place surrounded by Foot any more.  "Erm...Can you maybe walk me home? I'll tell you on the way."

Leonardo agrees and you tell him how you met Raphael.
