You struggled to keep your eyes open as you walked about the underground sewer system. It had been the better part of months since the Kraang attacked New York. Thankfully your friends the turtles saved the day and threw them back into their prison dimension.

You however, went out into the countryside with your family, so you had no idea what had happened until you came back. Even still, the city had continued to thrive and rebuild itself. But you were struggling, the university was putting a lot of pressure on you for assignments that were due and lectures that you had to catch up on.

Your family was always running about doing their own thing, struggling to believe people when they said aliens came and attacked and turtle ninjas saved them. They had their problems to deal with such as their workplaces being destroyed and you felt you were swept under.

You were hopping from lecture to lecture and were too tired to eat, drink or do anything for yourself. It was clear as day to April that you weren't coping as well, but you would try your best to put on a facade for the turtles and her. The turtles would do crazy things with you like do sewer surfing or play mystic basketball. And you would have to just smile and take it all in, doing all that you could to not feel like you were ruining their fun.

And when you got the text from Mikey telling you that everyone was going to the Hidden City, you felt it was best to go along with them. So here you are, walking through the sewers and heading to the Lair. You let out a long yawn, mind focused on how you were going to finish off the next 3 essay that were due soon.

You opened up the sewer grate, being the door to their Lair and went inside. "Hey guys! I'm here" you called out as you walked in. You got no response, you looked about aimlessly trying to find the others. You looked in the kitchen, Donnie's lab, their rooms and yet you found none of your friends. You finished looking in Leo's room and came into the projection room. Splinter sat in his recliner, like usual and chowed down on some cookies while watching his show. He let's out a loud laugh at the screen and shoves another cookie in.

"It wouldn't hurt to ask" you muttered to yourself as you went towards the rat master. Splinter didn't notice your presence until you spoke.

"Evening Splinter" you said in a quiet voice, but spooked Splinter.

"Ahh!" he yelled as he jumped and dropped his box of cookies, he looked to his side to see you and his smile returned.

"Oh. Y/n, what are you doing here?" he questioned as he bent down and grabbed the box from the ground.

"I came here to hang out with the guys. Where are they?" you said as you turned your head about to see if they had actually shown up.

"Hmm. I think they said something about going to the Hidden City"

"...They already left, without me?"

"Uhh I don't know" he shrugged. You sighed, you had a feeling that they might go on ahead. You were late by a hour due to you pressuring yourself to finish that last bit of your project. You groan to yourself and rub your eyes, they had bags under them and hurt from the lights of the projection.

Splinter frowned softly as he noticed this, the bags under your eyes, your hair hadn't been styled properly and your body was bent over.

"Are you doing okay, Y/n?" he said as he looked at you up and down
