Nikki Fairweather was walking 집 deep in thought when suddenly she felt a gun being pressed into the small of her back as a sinister voice whispered “gimme all your money and nobody gets hurt” she laughed softly to herself before turning to face the two young men threatening her “do I really look like someone who has a ton of money floating around” she asked. the muggers glanced at each other she had a good point. With her spiky green hair, tattered jeans and rumpled paint stained red 셔츠 she didn’t look like someone with a lot of money “so since I don’t have any money I guess 당신 can let me go right?” she said sweetly. “Sorry” the taller of the two said with a smirk. “But im afraid it doesnt quite work that way”
as he lunged to grab her a shadow detached itself from the 벽 and flew at him scattering nikkis 책 and knocking the mugger to the ground. “Leave her alone!” snarled her rescuer punching him in the face before spinning around to take care of the 초 man who had been edging towards the entrance to the alley. “Where do 당신 think you’re goin’” he asked dangerously advancing on the terrified man with a smirk. “Ya cant leave yet the funs about ta start!”he told the man as he kicked the man so hard he went flying into a wall. The two men got to their feet and ran away as fast as their legs could carry them. “You ok miss?” asked nikkis rescuer turning towards her. “wow!” she breathed finally getting a good look at him. Standing in front of her was a five foot tall turtle. He had a bright red ninja mask, two dagger-like weapons hooked into his 벨트 and a large shell covered in battle scars. “You’re...amazing” she said letting her gaze travel over his very muscular green body, noting that although earlier he had been wearing a fierce scowl now that the fight was over his gaze had softened and he seemed genuinely concerned about her. “Uh thanks?” he offered obviously uncomturable with how closely she was scrutinizing her. Afterc a moment he added “Ain’t ya gonna run away screaming 또는 sometin’?” “No” she replied “why would I do that?” “I dunno” he said shrugging “its just thats what most people seem ta do” “im not like most people” she said “and why wouldn’t they at least stop to thank 당신 for helping them?” “I guess I look weird 또는 ugly 또는 sometin’” he said shrugging again. “I don’t think you’re ugly” nikki said honestly “I think 당신 look rather handsome! Green but handsome” “well you’d be da first” he said dejectedly. “Nikki fairweather!” she announced brightly sticking out her hand. He stared at it in surprise for a moment before enveloping it in his large strong three fingered one. “Raphael” he said shaking her hand firmly. “Well raphael” she said enjoying the way his name sounded when she said it. as she stooped to pick up her 책 “thanks for beating those jerks up for me” “my pleasure” he responded leaning over to help her. “I seriously don’t know what I would have done without you” she said chasing a pencil that had rolled away “im not really much of a fighter” “really?” asked raphael “cause 당신 sounded pretty cocky to me” “well yeah” she said as he handed her stuff to her “but I mean I get mad I just don’t react violently. I mean like the world has so many problems and I just want to fix all of them y’know?” “Yeah” murmured raphael quietly “I know” “but I take out my frustrations on my art and turn them into something beautiful instead of like freaking out a lot and making 더 많이 problems” she explained cheerfully
“really?” asked raphael with interest “hittin’ stuff works pretty good for me” she laughed “well we all have our own ways of dealing with stress I guess!” she said with a smile “but anyway I guess what im trying to say is I may have “guts” but im not going to actually attack someone raphael, I mean I don’t even know how to throw a punch!” “You should probably learn how if you’re gonna stay in new york” he said leaning against a 벽 “and 당신 can call me raph if 당신 want” “ok thanks Ill keep that mind” she said shivering a little as the temperature dropped. he noticed “you should probably get 집 its gettin’ later” “ok!” she said brightly hugging her 책 to her chest “ It is getting a little nippy out” she admitted trying not to stare as it occured to her that technically he wasn’t wearing any clothes so 의해 rights he should be the one freezing his butt off “I could walk ya 집 if ya want” raph offered blushing slightly “y’know just ta make sure those thugs don’t come back” “thanks raph!” said nikki with a grin I’d like that”
