I sprint into my work building, deciding to avoid the subway system after the foot attack yesterday. After I check in, change into my uniform and get my breakfast, it's off to the kids.

I grind my teeth together and rub my temples once I'm free to leave. The pounding headache grew once he kids started screaming and crying.
'Why do I work here again?' I never find an answer because I take painkillers and walk home.
I ignore all the beggars and all the business people and all the jerks who think they can do anything. I ignore all but the traffic as I walk. 'Probably a bad idea.'
I squeak when I'm grabbed and yanked off the sidewalk, then feel the brick wall against my back and a weird hand on my mouth. I blink and look up to find a familiar orange masked turtle.
"Danielle! Hey you remember me, right?" The kid exclaims loudly. My eyes go to the street. No one paid attention. Yet.
"You know, you're doing a bad job at keeping yourself secret if you come out in broad daylight and talk loudly." I state once his hand is off my face. He flinches and glances to the people, but not with the fear or anything I was expecting. It was with...unease.
"Right, sorry. C'mon!" I roll my eyes at his volume before he pulls the mancover up and gestures for me to go in. I stare before I glance back at the people.
"Eh. What do I have to lose?"
"Wait!" He pulls a bag out and holds it out to me. "Put that on please?" I narrow my eyes.
"Why would I do that?"
"To make it easier on me? And to find out where I live?" I grit my teeth before I snatch the bag and put it on. I gasp when I'm suddenly scooped up and everything goes dark.
"So how have you been Danny?" He starts up. I sigh.
"1. Don't call me that. 2. I've been fine. 3. What's your name."
"Oh right! I'm Mikey!"
"Mikey.."
"Short for Michaelangelo."
"Ah." I grip his shell more tightly as light appears through the bag. "are we close?"
"Yup!" Mikey pops the 'p'

Mikey sets me on my feet before taking the bag off my head. I look around at the brightly lit Dome of a place.
"This..is where you live?!" I look to Mikey then stop short when Raph, blue and purple come in. I watch all of them hesitantly.
"Why..did you bring me here?" I glance to Mikey who has a can of soda in his hand. Coincidentally, Orange.I'll smile about that later.
I look to Leo who gestures with his head to something behind me. I narrow my eyes before I turn around.
The humanoid rat watches me as my jaw drops.
"You must be Danielle Rogers." I swallow and nod, self consciously straightening my back and clenching my hands at my thighs.
"Who did you tell of our existence?"
