Reader's Point of View...

I woke up in the middle of the night with Mikey's arms still wrapped around me protectively, the lights were all off and the small glow of the lamp on the nightstand was all the illuminated the small area. 

I rubbed my head to where my bandages sat as it itched, Donnie's antibacterial spray had stung a lot more than usual. 

Donnie had said that he would need to monitor me for the next while but other than that I was free to roam around the lair, but not like I wanted to much. My back was the very sore part, but my whole body ached as I tried to shift around to get comfy as Mikey inhaled sharply and opened his eyes in a panic. 

"Need anything?" He asked me as I smiled. "Just getting comfy again." I said as I rolled over and managed to give my other side a break. 

"Alright, don't hesitate to wake me up if you need anything." Mikey said as he laid his head back down and passed out once more.

I held back a laugh as I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to overtake me once again.


"For your incredible valor within this community, and for your uncompromising cooperation with this agency. I present to you, the keys... To the city." Rebecca announced to us and all the other agents that were in on making it possible to aid us.

I smiled as we held a key of our own, which all of us had hung around our necks. "A symbol of our appreciation, respect, and for our continued partnership. To you, bothers... And cousin. Y/n L/n, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo..." Rebecca said before pausing.

"Last name?" She whispered making us turn to her. "Uh... Not so much." Donnie admitted. "I never thought of that, that's no fair..." Mikey sighed making us smile. "We can come up with one later." I whispered to him as he gave me a smile and a thumbs up.

I looked back out to the small crowd of people to see April and Casey smiling up at us with huge smiles on their faces. I smiled back at her as she started taking pictures of us.

"Congratulations." Rebecca said with a smile as I looked up at the boys as they all had smiles plastered on their faces as everyone started clapping.

I looked to everyone as there were mixed faces, but none of them seemed to be scared. But most of the people that were smiling as they looked to us with gratitude.

I could also see Vern trying to impress the two ladies on either side of him making me roll my eyes.

But next to the lady was April and Vern talking and smiling together as I watched April ask him out.

I turned to the boys as they all huddled up and were smiling with each other and laughing and talking about Lady Liberty.

I stood next to Mikey as he was talking about maybe going up there to see the view when Rebecca approached us. "I think you should give people more credit. They'll accept you now." Rebecca said with a smile. "You're probably right. But uh.. Think we will stick with the arrangement we've had." Raph said as the rest of the boys nodded.

"If you ever need us... April knows where to find us." Leo said. "Really? You could live a normal life." Rebecca said. "Like the rest of us." She added.

"Normal?... What fun is that?" Raph smiled as we all turned back to Rebecca with hopeful looks.

"I'm so proud of you guys!!" I shouted as I pulled Mikey and Raph in for a big hug as Leo and Donnie joined in as we congratulated one another.

"Hey let's go see the view!!" Mikey smiled as he ran for the entrance for the stairs while Donnie ran after him as they both laughed and shouted to each other.
