Ch. 3 "Gift"

                                                     River POV 

My heavy eyelids slowly flutter open, I looked around I was on the couch, I must have fell asleep, I now have a name, thanks to Raphael, and the rest, 

In fact I have two names, I've never even had one, I thought 

I rub my head and feel a bandage on it, I got up off the couch, 

"River!" Michelangelo yelled causing me to jump and involuntarily use my gift, the gift that helped me escape, 

the gift after years of them poking and injecting me with mutagen gave me this gift, 

I literally disappeared, 

"Uh guys!" Michelangelo said 

"What did you do now?" Leonardo said walking in the room, 

"Well I yelled River's name excited and well, how do I put this, she disappeared literally!" Michelangelo 

"Don't be ridiculous Mikey, she's just a human child," Donatello said 

"But it's True she was right there!" Michelangelo said pointing 

I was now standing next to Raphael with my hand on his leg, he looked down at me but couldn't see me,

"Umm, guys something is touching me," Raphael said 

Donnie pulled his goggles down over his glasses and looked at me, he looked surprised, 

"Oh my god, Mikey is right," Donatello said surprised 

Everyone looked surprised, 

"How is this even possible?" Leo asked 

"It's hard to say," Donatello said 

"River, it's alright Mikey didn't mean to startle you," Leonardo said 

Eventually I let them see me, 

They all looked a little shocked, I still hand my hand on Raphael's leg, 

Splinter walked in, seeing the look on everyone's face, he looked a bit confused 

"What seems to be the problem my son's?" He asked 

Then they all started talking at the same time, 

"Enough one at a time," He said 

Then finally Michelangelo explained everything, Splinter looked down at me softly, 

Splinter was now in front of me, kneeling in front of me, but he was still fairly tall they all were, 

"Would you mind if I asked how you became with these gifts?" He asked 

Everyone was looking at me, 

I looked up at him with my puppy eyes, 

"The green stuff," I said quietly 

They all looked at each other with worry,

I rolled up my sleeve which showed an deep needle mark where my elbow bends, 

Donatello was that quick to be in front of me, grabbing my elbow gently, 

"That's an IV mark," Donatello said 

"Who did this to you?" Leonardo asked 

I was about to answer that was until my stomach growl echoed through the room, 

"This can wait, she's hungry," Raphael said picking me up gently
