This is the longest chapter so far, and i think the best but ill leave it up to you. Please read and review
She lie on her back in a small over used bed holding her eyes closed tight against the outside world. Yesterday had been ….well too much to handle, she still wasn’t sure where she was, she had spent most of the night going over it in her head. April and Mikey looked so much older and nothing she had seen had even closely resembled the New York she knew, she went over every little word and every little detail and had come to three likely conclusions 1. She was in the future 2. She was in another reality 3. She fell and hit her head on the way to practice and had a crazy concussion induced dream.
She cautiously opened her eyes and was greeting with the site of the same ramshackle ceiling she had stared at last night.
“Damn, why couldn’t it have been the concussion?” She surveyed her small room for the first time in the daylight, there didn’t appear to be any paint left on the walls and the old plaster was starting to peal away, the roof was in similar shape. Wonder if anyone will come to check on me, I sure as hell hope so. She got up and began to pace the small room; thankfully the floor was in better shape than the walls. She contemplated leaving and finding April to demand some answers, but she had no idea where to start, the building had seemed like a maze when April had lead her though it last night but then again maybe the building wouldn’t seem so complicated in the daylight.
She walked over to the small rusty looking door and opened it carefully; it revealed nothing but a hallway with more doors. Great everything here looks the same!!!! She stood in the door way confused as to what she should do next, she stayed that way for several minutes glancing left then right hoping that eventually one direction would look more promising than the other.
After a few more minutes passed motion to the left caught her eye a middle aged women with purplish hair had come around the corner and was now stopped dead in her tracks staring back at Julie. Taking a deep breath Julie decided it was time to demand some answers, just as soon as this chick told her where to find April.
“I need to see April” She said in the calmest voice she had managed since arriving here. The women at the end of the hall just cocked an eyebrow at her and turned to walk off in the other direction muttering something as she went that sounded suspiciously like “Not my problem”
Not her problem!!! Like hell!!! Julie stormed off down the hallway in hot pursuit of the purple haired women with full intentions of telling her off. Intentions that fell by the wayside soon after when she spotted a familiar bad hair cut amongst dozens of strangers several flights of stairs later. “April” she called out over the noise of the bustling people around her. April turned and glanced over her shoulder and held up hand , then turned back to her conversation if it hadn’t been for all the people staring glancing and whispering in her general direction she would have felt quite ignored.
Not giving up on answers just yet she pushed through the crowd toward April, when was close enough to touch her she grabbed her shoulder and whirled her around to face her, the look of shock on April’s face would have been priceless if Julie hadn’t been so angry.
“I want answers April, Now!” After shaking off her initial shocked face April merely rolled her eyes and said “Fine follow me” Julie followed her off through the crowd down a long hallway and out into a smaller room with several tables in the center of it, if it hadn’t been so filthy it could have been mistaken as a kitchen. April took a seat at the nearest table and turned to face her “Well?”
She hadn’t been prepared for April to be so straight forward all of the sudden it took her by surprise and she stammered out “I… uh… Where am I? And don’t say fucking New York City. “New York “April responded with a small smirk “I told you that yesterday” “This isn’t New York “ She countered bordering for what seemed the hundredth time since she woke up this morning on losing her temper “Not the New York I know”
“Your right, this isn’t the New York you know, The New York you know doesn’t exist anymore” Anymore? So it existed at one point in time guess number 1 it is then “What year is it” She asked hoping this would help her make some sense out of things.
“I was wondering when you’d start to catch on “April commented “Its 2035 “She answered after a small pause.
“30 years” Julie thought out loud. She thought on that answer for a few moments before asking her next question.” What happened to New York?” April’s eyes clouded over momentarily with grief as she half spoke and half whispered “The Shredder won” Damn that would explain all the signs and the killer robots.
“Where is everyone” Since she had arrived here the only two faces she recognized were April and Mikey. “I don’t know they don’t keep in touch” Don’t keep in touch? “Why not?” She couldn’t imagine the guys splitting up. “I can’t tell you now, it’s not my place” Not her place, then who’s place was it. “But you will get an answer to that one… that I can promise you that”
Ok then fine, next question, the biggie the one that had been bugging her the most when she thought about this guess. “If this is 2035 and I belong in 2005, where is the me that belongs in 2035?” Again she was met with a blank answer of “I can’t tell you” She didn’t like the sound of that , was she evil in this future, or crazy or something why couldn’t April tell her. Damn it all to hell the more answers she got the more questions she had.
“Why can’t you tell me?” She ground out in frustration “It’s not my place” God damn it she should have seen that half assed answer coming. “Well then tell me whose place it is so I can go get a straight answer them” April rose from the table and started walking for the door “Why don’t you take a walk around the complex for a while “She said pausing in the doorway” I’m sure if you walk around here long enough all the answers you need will find you….. Oh and your room is on the 6th floor hall 29R room 78” and with that she left Julie standing in the kitchen wondering how the answers were going to find her.
Michelangelo had spent most of the day trying to avoid her, seeing that face staring back at him yesterday and been the biggest shock he’d had in years and now April thought she deserved an explanation from him, damn it why’d it have to be him he spent most of his time trying to forget that story and he sure as hell wasn’t keen on telling it to anyone, especially her.
But avoiding her seemed to be a surprisingly difficult task; see seemed to be wandering through the complex at random, after being chased from his hiding spot several times by the unmistakable sound of her approaching footsteps he decided follow her a little bit, just until he was ready to answer her questions. She didn’t seem to notice him trailing her; she couldn’t have been training with him for very long before she was jolted ahead to this time. He followed her through building and out onto the grounds and finally on to the roof where he found her sitting staring off into the horizon just a little past sunset.
He stood at the door leading back inside for a few minutes wondering if it wouldn’t be better for him to just turn around and leave but she looked frustrated and sad all day like she had been looking for something she couldn’t find, maybe she had been looking for him.
She had spent all day wandering around the grounds and was still no closer to understanding what that flash of light had gotten her into, finally she had given up and settled herself on the roof to stare out at the ruins of New York, she would have preferred her room but there were no windows in the complex. Just after sunset, just as April said they would, the answers found her.
“You’re going to get sick if you sit up here all night in the cold” a familiar voice from behind her said. It was Mikey or at least the scary futuristic one armed version of the Mikey she knew. “Why should you worry , the last time I saw you, you wanted me dead” She said with little feeling, spending the day alone in this cold uncaring future had taken an emotional toll on her, she was alone , tired, and quickly becoming very distrustful.
“Fair enough” he said coming to lean on the roof ledge she was currently perched on. “Seeing you was a bit of a shock” He was definitely trying to break the ice with her, maybe he felt bad about earlier, or maybe he was the one with answers to her questions.
“Apparently” She replied answers or not she was still a little pissed off at him. “Hmm, I guess quantumly impossible time travel makes you cranky “Now he was baiting her, but not in the playful way she was used to “So does people trying to kill you, what can I say I’m having a shitty week” And at this he chuckled a little, she was shocked grown up Mikey seemed far to gruff and stand off-ish to still have a sense of humor, his quiet laughter made her relax a little.
After a moment or two she decided to regurgitate some of the few facts she had learned from April this morning, maybe it would prompt him to tell her something without her having to ask. “So, its 2035 then” She said and sat quietly waiting for his response. “It is” was all he said, damn oh well you can’t expect a fish to bite at the first worm “And The Shredder has taken over” and she got only a simple confirmation “He has” God damn what happened to talkative tell you anything Mikey.
“Look if you want to know something all you had to do was ask” ok apparently she wasn’t very good at the casual interrogation game her only option left was the straight forward approach. “I had questions this morning, ones April wouldn’t answer” She said. “Like what “Finally she thought some one was going to level with her give her a straightforward answer “Like where your brother are” she tried “That’s a long story” Hmm so much for straightforward “ Or if that blue light pulled me thirty years into the future where is the future version of myself” She held her breath waiting for his answer, when it came the force of it nearly knocked her off the building .
Two words “You’re dead”
