Over the past couple of weeks, Y/N kept trying to find the turtles. But because she was the masked vigilante when she did, they would only fight her. She had to do something, so exactly three weeks after their first encounter, she was in her vigilante outfit and waited for the guys to show up.

"I'm guessing you were expecting us," Raph growled with a smirk.

"You could say that...Raphael," Y/N said with her voice disguised.

Raph went from a smirk to a look of shock. The others surrounded her and drew their weapons.

"H-How do you know my name?" Raph asked.

"Come on, guys. I know all of your names. Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo. I've known you guys for quite a while," Y/N smirked under her hood.

"Prove it," Mikey said.

She unzipped her hoodie to show them her face and turned the voice changer off. She looked at their faces which were in complete shock, Raph more so. (A/N Pic above)

"Believe me now?" Y/N replied.

"Y/N!" Mikey shouted and hugged her.

Y/N giggled and responded, "It's good to see you too, Mikey."

"Uh, it's good to see you and all but, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU WERE THE MASKED VIGILANTE?!" Leo yelled.

"Hey, I tried to tell you every time I saw you guys, but before I could even take the hood off, Mr. Tough Guy over here would attack," Y/N teased.

"Hey!" Raph retorted.

"Sorry, Raph. And by the way, y'all wouldn't listen to me. No matter how much I said I didn't want to fight you, you guys insisted I did and you also wanted this," Y/N explained, holding her phone.

Donnie quickly snatched it, but Y/N didn't bother getting it back. He looked through each of the videos.

"Guys, she has videos of us since three weeks ago. But there's also some from Shredder's lair and TCRI," he said.

"And the only place the videos have been are on that phone. I haven't posted them, shown them to anyone except April O'Neil, who you guys actually know, and I also don't work for Shredder or the Kraang, so you don't have to worry," Y/N replied.

"But if you don't post them or anything else with them, why do you record them?" Mikey asked and stopped hugging her.

"Training purposes. And just saying, you guys have way better moves than Shredder and his goons," Y/N commented.

"So that's what you meant by everyone trained you," Raph realized then asked, "Just wondering: why do you dress up like a Spider-Man ripoff and make everyone think you're a guy?"

"Well, Raphie, most people don't take women seriously in fighting unless they're a kunoichi," Y/N teased then explained.

Raph punched her arm teasingly. She did the same to him. It was so good to see them again. Well, without them trying to fight her and all.

"So where are you living?" Donnie wondered, giving her phone back to her.

Y/N sighed then answered, "An abandoned apartment building. I couldn't afford to live on school grounds or an apartment period. All my parents could afford were to get me in. But they didn't know that much. So I went anyway."

"Well, what do you say to living with us?" Raph suggested.

"What?" Y/N asked.

"Yeah. We have a guest bedroom, your parents won't ever find out, and we can watch 'Crognard the Barbarian' all night long!" Mikey exclaimed.

They just stared at Mikey for a minute. Even though Y/N would love to move in with her best friends, she knows that if Shredder found out anything about her and the turtles, he could come after her, or worse, the guys and Hamato Yoshi. She couldn't bear the thought of them dying by the hands of their worst enemy.

"Y/N, you okay?" Raph asked, snapping Y/N out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh. Yeah. Just thinking," she answered.

"Funny. I didn't know you could," Mikey teased.

"Oh really? You wanna know what I'm thinking now? How I'm gonna beat your sorry butt!" Y/N shouted with a smirk.

She started running after Mikey, who was screaming like a little girl. The others were just laughing like crazy at the sight.

"DOES ANYONE WANNA HELP ME OUT HERE?!" Mikey yelled, full of panic.

"Nope!" the others responded.

She finally tackled Mikey and did a nerve attack. He immediately froze up, but he still tried to get free.

"It may have been years since I've seen you guys, but I still know where your pressure points are. Now I'll let you go, but this was just a warning, Michelangelo," Y/N smirked.

"O-Okay. Y-You w-win," Mikey struggled to say.

She poked his pressure point and he could move again. He scrambled to his brothers who were still trying to stop laughing.

"See? This proves you should live with us. We've all wanted to do something like that to Mikey. Will you do it?" Raph asked.

Y/N thought about it for a minute then decided, "Okay. That sounds nice."

They smiled which she returned. They went into the sewers and to the lair. She was happy to be with the family that raised her until her parents made her move. They were celebrating when Splinter walked into the room. The guys got in front of Y/N to surprise him.

"My sons, why are you celebrating?" he asked curiously.

"Sensei, we invited an old friend back to the lair," Leo said smiling.

They moved out of the way to reveal Y/N, who bowed with a smile.

"Y/N? It has been a long time, my daughter," Splinter replied.

"Yes, Splinter it has. Do you mind if I stay here? I don't have any place to live," she said.

"You may. You have been a part of this family since you accepted us for who we are," he smiled.

"Thank you," Y/N responded then added, "Do you mind if I hug you?"

Splinter chuckled then answered, "Not at all, my child."

She ran up to him and hugged him as he hugged her back. This is really the family she's always wanted.
