It is getting late, and everyone's yawning. Leo calls April on the phone, asking her to bring pajamas for Ava. She had been wearing black leggings and a black long sleeve shirt.
Mikey is explaining the difference between Dc Comics and Marvel Comics. To Ava, there is no difference. April walks in with a pile of clothes.
"Hey guys!" She says cheerfully.
She walks over to Ava. Ava quickly stands, despite her injuries.
"Hey! I'm April. So you're Ava." April says she shifts the clothes to her left arm so can shake Ava's hand, which she accepts.
April passes a gold tank top and white sweat pants to Ava. Ava looks at the clothes, and her face fills with alarm for a second. Ava simply grinds her teeth, thankful April took the time to help, yet feeling nervous at the same time.
"Arigato" She says with a deep bow.
"Um, Your welcome?" April replies, more of a question than a response.
April has been learning Japanese from Splinter, but still isn't sure over some things.
"Go try them on." April says with a playful shove, not noticing how Ava flinched at her unexpected touch.
Ava nods and heads to the bathroom. She slips on the tank top and sweat pants, grateful they weren't shorts. But her arms were exposed, revealing numerous scars and bruises all over her.
Ava wishes she could hide in the bathroom forever, but that wasn't an option. With a sigh, she walks out into the living room, where everyone was watching Full House reruns. She silently slips into a chair in the background, far away from everyone else, in the darkness. She closes her eyes and prays no one notices her. But of course, someone does. Mikey sees her and walks over to her, smiling.
"Come on,Ava! Michelle's put her goldfish in the bathtub!" Mikey yells as he tugs on her arm.
Since she is still weak, Mikey is able to pull her into the light.
"Hey Av-Oh gosh! Who did that to you?" Leo says as he notices her many scars, bringing them to the others' attention.
Everyone crowds her, asking her why. Finally, she can't take anymore, covers her ears and yells.
"STOP IT!"
They all quiet, yet still look at her, waiting for an answer. Ava sighs and sits on the couch, promising herself she won't cry.
"I told you I've tried to escape before." She says softly, rubbing her arms self-consciously.
Everyone immediately close in on her, giving her a group hug.
Inside the hug, Ava closes her eyes and enjoys it.
In the mere hours she has known them, they already are like family to her.
Woo! Two updates, one day. I'm on fire, no matter how short they are. By the way, I'm think I'll change the cover to an anime girl, who fits the description. If you don't like the idea, speak now or forever hold your peace. Oh, and if anyone has suggestions, feel free to suggest. You can put an OC, but it will be for a very small part. SmileyRachel01......out.
