A New Hero (TMNT X Reader)

Other Ninjas?

   Still patrolling hours later I'm hoping I can catch sight of the mysterious ninjas soon. It's freezing for one and two I needed to know what I was dealing with. Taking a break I skid to a stop on a rooftop before taking a deep breath. Sitting down I dangle my legs over the edge of the building before sliding my hood off. As I watch the cars zoom by below and the lights turn on and off I lean back to stare up at the sky.

  So far the streets had been silent. I hadn't seen or heard anything suspicious all night.

  The purple dragons hadn't caused any trouble and weren't hanging around their usual spots. I'd checked countless warehouses, went to shops they demanded protection money from, dove in and out of allies where they did drig and weapon deals. Nothing. Because of Fongs arrest they seemed to be laying low and Xever had defiently crawled into a hole somewhere. I had nothing.

  "What a waste of a night..."

  THUMP !!!

  Flinching at a loud noise I jump up before catching catching myself on the edge of the building. Stepping off the ridge of the building and into more solid footing I scan my surroundings. Tensing as I turn in slow circles watching the shadows I feel as if there's eyes on me.

   Getting into a fighting position it's dark but not dark enough for someone to hide on an open roof. The street lamps illuminate the apartment top for me and there's only a shed but the sound hadn't come from there. Frowning as I get out of my defnsive stance I  hear something else. Reaching for my tessen and pausing there's another noise and than there's loud shouting. Glancing at the roof on the building over I duck behind the shed as shadows stretch across my roof. Listening closely to try and figure out what had made the sound I'd heard I only hear people arguing.

   "Mikey are you crazy?! You could have woken someone up!" Suspicious at why they'd be concerned with people staying asleep I creep closer to the voices, careful to say hidden. Dipping my head to keep it covered by my hood I blend into the darkness waiting to get more information.

   The voice that had spoken to "Mikey" seemed shrill. It sounded like a teenagers voice and since they'd spoken to someone there was likely at least two people. Back to the shed I get closer to the people. I couldn't tell if these were some teens messing around or if it was more than that and I had to get involved. 

  Watching the shadow of a katana slice through the air I blinked in surprise before it was gone. Thinking of weapons I glance at my open tessen. Maybe I could use the metal part of my fan to catch a reflection of these guys. If they had weapons they could be dangerous.

   "Guys keep it down were on patrol." Another voice suddenly demanded. So now there was three people. 

  ... Wait had he said patrol? Purple Dragons don't patrol, they Scout and launch pre cordinated attacks and muggings/robbings.

  Sneaking closer to the edge of the shed, the new voice continued to lecture one of the others. Humming softly I didn't recognize the voices... I wasn't sure they were Purple dragons but one of them did have a wepaon. If there were other ninjas in New York like the television said I had to be careful and make sure they were on my side before approaching them and even then I wasn't sure if I wanted to work with others yet. I'd been on my own for so long... did I want to join a clan? The last one hadn't worked out so well.

  Curious too see what these guys looked like and if they were trained by a Homoto I slowly begin to stick my tessen out to see their reflections. Making sure the light didn't reflect off my tessen and give away my position I had to be careful as I tried to see them.
