In the shadows of New York City, Leonardo-the disciplined leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-encounters a mysterious woman with no memory of who she is or where she came from. Despite her amnesia, she's a natural fighter, her skills almost rivaling his own. Together, they battle side by side against the Foot Clan and the Purple Dragons, forming a fierce and unspoken bond forged through survival, trust, and unrelenting loyalty.
As nights in the sewers and rooftops of the city turn into weeks of missions and quiet moments, Leo finds himself drawn to her strength and vulnerability. She, too, begins to fall for the calm, noble warrior who never asks for more than she can give. But neither of them is brave enough to speak the truth of their feelings, afraid it might shatter the fragile peace they've found in each other.
Then everything changes.
While investigating a raid led by the Foot Clan, Leo uncovers a devastating truth: the woman he's fallen for is not just a survivor of the chaos-they created it.
Now Leo stands at a crossroad: tell her the truth and risk losing her forever, or carry the weight of the secret alone and protect her from the pain of knowing her bloodline. Every moment he waits, the secret grows heavier
Their love was unexpected. Their truth is forbidden. And their future may be determined by whether Leo chooses to protect her heart... or break it.

A secret that Michelangelo Hamato realizes he will have to keep close to him; that may have already decided his destiny. Maybe he has these newfound abilities for a reason. Maybe that drifting raven feather all those years ago was orchestrated for a bigger purpose - and gave a greater power - than he could ever imagine.

Emotionless Mutation (Book Three)
"However, you say I am human in a sense, that my body is simply fused with the robot that I have been raised to believe I am. Could you teach me...emotion?" The Kraang tried to take over the city of New York twice, and only once did they succeed. The screams of civilians permeated the cold air as Kraang moved through the streets, armed to the teeth. Mutagen rained down over passerby, asphalt cracked, fires raged, and as the city grew silent, a lone van drove off down the road. Within the isolation of her TCRI Kraang cell, she watched the humans lose. Later, she watched the humans as they were saved. She felt nothing. Subject 60184 has known no other life than one full of Kraang droids and experiments. She's a cyborg who's been raised alongside the Kraang, but her hatred for her alien captors is unrelenting. For sixteen years she has lived as an almost emotionless test subject, forced to watch the big, wide world pass by without her. To the Kraang, she is an object, not a human being. This cyborg knows better. She knows what she wants, and she knows that they've made the wrong enemy. It's time to rebel. Book Three in the Mutations Series Song: The Scientist by ColdplayComplete
Well, Wasn't Expecting That.
(Hey, just so everyone knows, this story is officially discontinued on my account, but @PlutisWolf asked to rewrite it on theirs, which I agreed to. If you have any questions, please ask them about it) (Also, this story is absolute trash and hella embarrassing. I seriously recommend against reading.) My name is Jessica, but I tend to just go by Jess. Some simple minded humans would call me a "werewolf" but they would be greatly mistaken. I am in fact a mutant. A wolf shifter to be more specific, sorta like a shapeshifter except I can only shift into a wolf. I've learned to survive on my own in the harsh streets of New York City, and have been living alone since I was 10. But without waning, my life suddenly gets turned upside down. When my friends turn out to be enemies, and my enemies become friends. My piece of advice to anyone reading this, Trust is a very valuable thing. Be careful who you give it to.
