"It's been too long since we've been in here," I commented as I clambered through the window, back into the abandoned apartment building.

"And that's why I brought you here," Raph said as he jumped in after me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder as we took in the sight of our old meeting place.

"You know," I added, smirking over at him, "I think I left some Doritos and Oreos and stuff up on the second floor."

Raph rolled his eyes, "Do you really think those'll still be good?"

"Those preservatives would practically keep that food good through the next century," I answered with a smirk.

Raphael laughed, letting his arm fall away as he gently pushed me toward the stairs. "Go get them, then."

I laughed. "Wow, leaving me to go get the food for our date, huh?"

Raph only rolled his eyes again, "You're the one who wanted the prehistoric Oreos."

"...Touché." I grinned and raced up the stairs, not even having broken a sweat when I reached the second floor. I searched out the apartment I remembered hiding the food, smirking in triumph when I found the stash of junk food.

I strolled out of the apartment, my arms piled with chips and cookies, when a low growl made me stop in my tracks. I turned to see a mutant lioness, eyes burning with animalistic insanity.

"M-mom?!" I dropped the snacks I was carrying.

My mom roared, stalking toward me - a predator hunting its prey. And then I heard the sound of a sai being unsheathed I whirled around to see Raph, eyes wide and weapons out.

"Y/N!" He shouted, "Get out of the way!"

He shoved me against the wall right as the lioness pounced. My mother knocked Raph to the floor, and my boyfriend strained away from her vicious fangs as he tried to grab the sai that was now just out of reach.

"Raph!" I cried, my panic making me seize up for a moment. I glanced down at my hands, getting a crazy idea. I closed my eyes and imagined myself as the same mutant my mom had been turned into, feeling my skin beginning to morph and change as my powers willed my body to transform. I opened my eyes to see that I was successful in shape-shifting into a copy of my mother. I lunged, knocking her off of Raph and roaring as I sing at her with my newly developed claws. The mutant hissed when I struck her face, stumbling away from me and roaring before racing past Raph and I, down the stairs, and out of sight.

I looked over to see Raph staring at me, and my disguise faded away, revealing me in my normal form. I collapsed to my knees, exhausted from the fight and the emotional load that had been dumped on me. I glanced at Raph, my eyes filled with tears.

"A-are you alright?"

"Me? What about you?" He came over to pull me into his arms.

"I-I..." I broke down as Raph held me, "I can't believe I just did that. I just battled my mom...."

Raph rocked me subtly, murmuring, "It'll be okay. You did what you had to do. And...," He pulled back slightly to give me a half-hearted smile, "Thanks."

A ghost of a smile ran across my face. "Anytime, Raphie Boy."
