Lillie's POV:
I got back home from the lair, walking in the door my parents are sitting on the couch, staring at me. Anger and worry on their faces. Shit.
"Young lady, where were you?" My mother asks.
"April's." I say, writing confusion on my face.
"Don't lie, I hate lying." My dad says, his voice stern.
"I'm not lying." I try to keep my voice even.
"We know you've been sneaking out, and you haven't been going to the library or April's." My parents stand, looking down at me, a power move. "Where where you?!"My dad's patience was gone.
"You've got a boyfriend," he continues, this stops me in my tracks. "Text messages, few, just one conversation, rest had been deleted, number wasn't even in contacts."
I gulp, I hadn't deleted our last conversation, shit. "How'd you get in my phone?" I ask, he laughs.
"You forget what I do for a living?" No I hadn't, he worked at the training center, for the state patrol. Had a state, military grade laptop. Oh, shit.
"Let's meet this boyfriend hmm?" He says.
"Fine." I say, smirking, "if that's what you want." I mutter.
"Call him, on speaker." My mom says. I roll my eyes and dial Raph's number.
"Yeah, babe." Raph picks up, I blush at the name.
"Raph, remember what we talked about last week? Well that's day has come." Silence on the other end. "Bring your brothers, and go through the front door, I'll see you in a few."
"Okay, um, we'll be over in a bit." He says, clearing his throat, then hanging up.
My parents look at me, "why do his brothers need to come?" Mom asks, "you'll see." I say plopping down in the armchair, and wait.
Magnus and Will come out, wondering what the commotion was. "My boyfriend and his brothers are coming over." I say, their jaws drop.
"Lillie has a boyfriend?" Will ask.
"Haha." Magnus says randomly. Rolling my eyes, I crack open my book while waiting for the turtles.
After a bit, a knock comes from the door and I race to get it. There they were, looking hesitant, unsure and scared.
"Hey, guys, um thanks for coming, let's hope this is painless." I say and gesture them to come in.
There is silence, "take off the costumes!" Dad demands. I see Mikey gulp.
"Not costumes Dad, these are the turtles, they are mutants, 16 years old." I say. "The one with the blue mask is Leonardo, Leo. Purple mask is Donatello, Donnie. Orange is Michelangelo, Mikey. And the red mask is my boyfriend Raphael or Raph."
"Guys this is my family, my parents and, my brothers, Magnus and Will."
"Sir, we assure you we will not hurt your daughter." Leo says, stepping forward.
"Cool Lillie's dating a turtle, can you hide in your shell?" Magnus asks. I sigh and Mikey laughs.
"You bet little dude," he says. "I like your shirt, bet you don't know what my favorite color is."
Magnus laughs, "orange."
"You got it!" Mikey exclaims, giving Magnus a fist bump.
"Explain yourselves." My mom says.
"Better sit, this could take a bit." I sit, Raph next to me, then the guys follow. My parents stay standing. The boys sit on the floor.
"Well, when we were young, we were transformed from regular turtles to mutant turtles, from mutengen." Leo begins.
"It's a chemical compound, that changes molecular structures." Don adds.
"We were raised by our father, who taught us Japanese martial arts."
"And you do what with these martial arts." Dad asks,
"We patrol the streets busting heads of Purple Dragons and other thugs." Raph says. "Sir." He adds from a pointed glance from my father. I glare at Dad.
"Is your dad a turtle?" Will asks.
"No he's a giant rat." I say.
"No really." Will asks, not believing me, "yeah he really is." I reply.
"How do you know?" Magnus asks,
"Because I've met him, stupid."
"I'm not stupid!"
"Then stop acting like it." I hear Raph stifle a laugh next to me.
"Stop if you two." Mom sends us pointed looks.
"Okay vigilantes, are you responsible for the unconscious bodies we find in alleyways?" Dad asks.
"Only the unlawful are taken care of." Leo states, meeting my fathers eye.
"Okay, you've met them, can they go now?" I ask, this hadn't been to bad but let's stop while we were ahead.
"Fine, but I except a formal dinner with you, Raphael." Raph meets dad's glare, ever strong headed.
"Yes, sir." Raph says standing, his brothers follow.
"And stop sneaking around the house, if your in it I want to know."
Raph nods,
"Can they come back?" Magnus asks, Mikey and him had been playing cars on the floor.
"We'll see bud." Mom says.
I show the guys the door walking onto the front step with them.
"Well that wasn't a total failure." I say,
"Your parents seem hesitant." Donnie states.
"No shell, D, their daughter has been sneaking behind their backs with turtles." Raph says.
"You did fine, way to keep your shell on." I say to him.
"Yeah, well first impressions are important."
"I seem to remember yours." I say smirking.
"Let's not being that up!" Raph exclaims, covering my mouth.
"Oo, yeah let's." Mikey says.
"Lillian!" My mom shouts from inside.
"Oh, well will have to save it for another time." Raph says quickly, giving me a peck on the lips before leaving with his brothers. Who are standing there smirking at each other, I blush.
"Lillian Mae!" Mom shouts again, "wish me luck." I say, going back inside, shutting the door behind me.
