[aealzx]

Fishing his cell phone from its pocket wedged under his shell, Raphael hit the speed dial for Mikey. The easiest way to check on him was just to call him after all. Especially since they had two additional bases now that he and Leo were taking turns manning for this rotation. That explained why Leo had been caught since the other three weren’t with him. But it didn’t explain why their alarms hadn’t been tripped. Unless Leo had been outside the base on patrol, like he sometimes did when he was restless.

Okay Mikey that’s five rings, pick up the phone-

“You’re speaking to the greatest turtle of all time, hero of the realms, Nexus Champion, Michael Angelo Spliterson.”

For once Mikey’s voice was a welcomed relief instead of a complete annoyance, and Raphael found himself smirking instead of wanting to throttle him. “I’m gonna beat you for that, bozo,” Raphael responded, more on reflex than an actual threat.

“Awww, but Raphy buddy, you’d actually have to win against me for once to do that,” Mikey shot back. Harmless banter at this point. Despite the hundreds of sparring matches they’d gotten into, Raphael still hadn’t managed to win against Mikey even once. But they had saved each other's lives often enough it no longer truly mattered.

“Well get over here then.”

“Uh, I’ll pass,” Mikey declined quickly. “Got the ole second base to watch over y’know. Can’t leave her on her own. What would Don say if I just abandon-”

“I mean it Mikey. Get over here, Leo’s been caught by Augustine,” Raphael interrupted, ton growing completely serious now.

“HUH-?!” Mikey’s outburst cracked over the speaker and made Raphael pull the phone away from his ear. “Whadda you-?? Start with that you-! I’ll be right there!”

The call ended with a beep before Raphael could give a retort, but he just sighed and lowered the phone to tap a different speed dial. They would need their usual backup for this one, and he also had some words to get out. Thankfully this time his call was answered on the second ring.

“Yo Raph, what’s up? Miss me that much?”

Casey. The one that had been with Leo on base sitting duty that night. “Say goodbye to your son, then get back to home base asap. I’m gonna kill you for losing my brother,” Raphael growled simply, then took his turn to end the call without a goodbye. It would be better to talk to both Mikey and Casey at the same time, in person.

Once both people were contacted Raphael slipped his phone back into its place and approached Don, raising a brow as he was mildly impressed once again by how fast his genius of a brother was manipulating his precious computer. Touch screens and a custom keyboard really sped up his process, as did state of the art equipment. Coming to stand at his shoulder, Raphael remained quiet, knowing Don would speak when he formulated his thoughts enough around what he’d found.

Sure enough, it was only minutes of watching screens flashing by incomprehensibly that Don started his report. “Interesting. I ran an analysis for interdimensional breeches, and there’s a significant outlier from the usual comings and goings of people like the Daimyo and the others we’re used to visiting.”

“So…….,” Raphael started, a request for Don to pause and let him catch up with his own thoughts. “Augustine succeeded in creating an interdimensional machine despite us having stolen what she needed for it?”

“Yes…. and no,” Don confirmed and denied. “It wasn’t stable. The bridge between dimensions was quick, and horribly uncalculated. Like a misfire from trying to modify a weapon. I think she was trying something else, and got more than she bargained for.”

“An accident,” Raphael reworded simply, then sighed. “Great. And we still don’t have enough evidence to get her locked up?”

“Not yet. But this might be a tipping point once we get it solved,” Don responded with a mirthless chuckle. If only it were that simple. Augustine was eccentric, and unstable, but apparently still too valuable for the EPF to be willing to let her go. “I’ve got a good guess where she’s hiding out now. Three of the signatures converge at one point, including the one that matches the readings I’ve remotely pulled from our third outpost. And the location is part of our list of potentials.”

“...Texas? Really?” Raphael complained, raising a brow when the location was singled out on the display.

“Yep. Texas.” Don nodded, then caught sight of an entry register on another screen and turned to meet the one who’d arrived.

“Guys! You gotta help me- I think Leo’s gone missing! You gotta help me find him.” Casey’s arrival to the home lair was announced via a stomping run as he shouted his distress, one of Leo’s swords in his hands. “He went off to do a patrol like he does, but then he didn’t come back, and then I went looking for him to come back here, but all I found was his sword thing, and he never leaves that laying around. I think he got snatched! Do you have a tracker or something on him?”

As Casey started to explain his side of the story, Raphael could only fold his arms as both he and Don stared blankly at their friend. It may have seemed like a weird ploy with ulterior motives, but after having spent so many years with the man they both knew that Casey wasn’t faking anything. He just apparently didn’t have two dots connected in his mind just yet.

“....Did you figure that all out before or after I called you?” Raphael asked simply, continuing to give Casey a dry look.

“What? Uhhhhh…… After-.... Ohhhhh,” Casey seemed confused at the apparent unrelated question. But Don and Raphael could swear they could see the dots in Casey’s mind clicking together as he remembered what Raphael had called about in the first place. “You guys already know. Heheh. Uhm….. So where we going?”

Don could only chuckle as Casey sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. Before he could answer Casey the room gained another body as Mikey came dashing in. “I’m here! Let’s go! Bags are packed! Are we flying or driving?” Mikey rushed, stopping to jog in place once he reached the landing the rest were on.

“Hold on, bro. We haven’t even gone over a plan yet,” Raphael chastised, though he couldn’t hold the amusement from his tone.

“You can debrief me on the plane. Or truck. Whichever. Time’s a wasting,” Mikey continued, still jogging in place. “Did you get to talk to him? Or get a picture? Bad guys love sending kidnapping pictures. Does he look- Oh!”

At the mention of a picture Don clicked a few keystrokes to change the view of the monitors back to the video they had received. Catching sight of it, Mikey abruptly stopped moving, turning to gape at the picture. “Woah….. Ohhhh no, the crazy lady grabbed some other poor mutant ninja turtles inste- wait- is that ME? Mini me? He’s so small. But the orange headband is my thing- ohhhhh we didn’t stop her, did we.”

Raph had to snort at Mikey’s reaction to seeing the other two mutant turtles that had been kidnapped along with their brother. Only then did he start moving to comply with Mikey’s earlier prompting to get going. “Accidental cross dimension kidnapping. Is what it looks like anyway. We won’t know for sure until we ask their names once we rescue them.”

“Alriiiight. Time to finally bash this lady’s head!” Casey cheered, rotating his arm with a fist and moving to follow Raph.

“Ah ah. Not you. People with kids under the age of ten are strictly on backup duty, remember? You stay here and keep an eye on April… and Master Splinter since I’m assuming he’ll be on babysitting duty again. Keep them and Junior out of trouble, alright?” Raphael countered, whipping around to poke Casey in the chest and push him back.

“Awwwww maaann. Really? That applies even for rescue missions?” Casey whined, though he didn’t seem too upset about it. He did get to stay with April and their son after all.

“It applies for all missions. Especially breaking into government bases,” Don confirmed, slinging his prepacked backpack over his shoulders. “I’ve already messaged April, she and Leatherhead will meet you here and infiltrate their systems to give us support. Make sure Master Splinter gets to bed on time too, will you?”

“Guhhhhh, finnnee. Just punch someone good for me, alright?” Casey relented, making a show of throwing his head back in a pout. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your dad too. Just don’t take too long.”

“We’ll be back before you know it,” Raphael assured. “You better not eat all the nachos,” he added as a warning, pointing a finger at Casey as he and the others left the raised terrace.

“Stealth plane Mikey. We’re headed to Texas,” Don directed, taking the lead to their underground hangar.

“Texas?” Mikey repeated, pausing verbally to consider a thought. “You think we can grab any kolaches while we're there?”

[fishsticksloser]

My I request a rottmnt x reader where they are out spending time with reader but they run into one of the villains (like ghostbear, meat sweats, or hypno your choice) and they find out that they are the reader's uncle that they haven't seen in a long time, so they catch up and see how they've been? Sorry if this request is long. Remember to stay hydrated

Villain Uncle

RotTMNT x gn!reader

Warnings: aged up, awkwardness, a tiny bit of violence, not written as headcannons

A/N: Honestly, I stopped staying hydrated for a while, but I'm back to drinking a lot of water. Stay hydrated!! I would like to preface with the fact that before Hypno mutated he went by Mezmer-Ron so I'm assuming his name was Ron... I honestly had no clue what to do with Ghostbear...

Donnie

You meet up with Donnie in the alley between the buildings you were perched on. You put the few pieces of mystic metal you found in his bag before you both turned to go back to the lair.

"Well well..." You hear a familiar New Zealand accent. Donnie tensed next to you. "I've found a turtle..."

Donnie turned and pulled out his bō, eyebrows drawn down. "I was in the middle of something." Donnie sighed. You turned to see the mutant hippo, who was all ready to pounce when he saw you.

"Y/N?" The hippo asks, lowering his rings.

"Uncle Ron?" You question.

"Uncle Ron?" Donnie turns to you.

"By days..." Hypno gasps, rings dropping to the ground. You race to him, enveloping him in a hug. A few years ago he just disappeared. "I haven't seen you in years, you've gotten so big."

"I'm hoping you weren't planning on killing my boyfriend." You laughed, Donnie hesitantly approached.

"You're dating a turtle?" Hypno huffs, both men glaring at each other.

"Says the hippo..." You answer.

Leo

Leo had portaled you guys to the beach for a day of relaxation. At least that was the plan, but soon Leo was fighting 2 giant crab men.

"I hate the Sando brothers..." Leo groans, being able to take a quick break from fighting to check on you.

"Sando?" You ask. He nods, watching them to make sure he didn't put you in danger. "Like... Ben and Carl Sando. Acrobats."

"Uh yeah..." Leo frowns, looking at you. "Why?"

"They're my uncles." You answer.

"Uncles? Your uncles are crab men... Why didn't you tell me you were related to the Sando's?"

"It never came up!" Ben charged, you quicky stepped in front. "Ben!"

"Y/N?" He grunts, skidding to a stop, Carl flies into him, making them fall over. "It really is you! What are you doing with this turtle?"

"He's my boyfriend."

"Aren't you a little young to be dating?" Carl glares at Leo.

Eventually they simmer down and you all go out for lunch to catch up. Your mom will be really happy knowing her brothers are okay.

Mikey

Mikey was headed to meet you at a yo'kai restaurant close by. He turned the corner and saw you with Meat Sweats. He couldn't see your face, but he saw Meat Sweats' gross smile. You were in danger, he had to do something.

"And I —"

"Y/N!?" Mikey calls. Rupert looked up, recognizing the orange turtle's voice. "Get away from them."

"Mikey." You grab his hand and pull him closer. "This is my uncle. Rupert Swaggert. This is my boyfriend, Mikey, he's a huge fan of Consenting Kitchen."

"Your uncle?" Mikey asks, at the same time Rupert says: "Your boyfriend?"

"We just bumped into each other." You smiled. "I haven't seen him since before he mutated."

Neither man spoke, nor did they look at you. They glared at each other. Sure Mikey was a fan of Rupert Swaggert, but he wasn't the biggest fan of Meat Sweats.

"Uh... I'm see you later, I have a date tonight." You smiled awkwardly at your uncle before dragging Mikey into the restaurant.

Raph

Both of you were chilling out in the park together. It was dark, so there wasn't a fear of people seeing him. You had grabbed takeout and drinks for a late night picnic.

This was your first date in months due to the missions Raph had to go on. But it made it all the more special.

"You wouldn't believe the guy that came in today at work." You laughed. Raph chuckled, not speaking so you could continue your story. "He kept trying to tell me that he needed left handed pencils. Like I was an idiot."

"Only one turtle?" Someone asks. You both turn and see a polar bear. "Y/N? What are you doing with this turtle?"

"Ghostbear..." Raph huffs. "I was just enjoying a date night..."

"Ghostbear?" You look at Raph who nods. "Like the pro wrestler?"

"Yeah?"

"That's my uncle!"

"What? You never told me! I was a huge fan of his... Until he tried to kill us."

How would the first kiss with the turtles go? Like, unexpected, sweet or totally dumb? Hahaha

Leo

He's just come back from patrol and showered

he's walking around in his towel, he has no idea you're there

you have this thing where you mercilessly flirt with each other, but for him it's only half a joke

and just as he's making a hot chocolate before heading to bed he hears you

"Damn, you could wring your clothes out on those washboard abs and I've got 2 weeks worth of laundry to do"

he smiles to himself and turns to face you

just as he's about to say "every man's dream, someone who's apartment stinks of unwashed clothes"

but he only manages to get out the first couple words when your arms wrap around his neck and you give him a quick peck on the lips

he's gobsmacked

absolutely lost for words

flabbergasted

he jusyt stares at you until you start laughing

"Well, this had to go somewhere, the whole cat and mouse thing we have going on..."

he just laughs

Raph

Ok so one of the things you and Raph do together is watch wrestling

you like to mute it and talk over what's happening with your own story line

but sometimes you act it out

this was one of those days

and you've got him on his back, pinned down, almost in a choke hold and you're screaming "beg for mercy!" in the most theatrical voice you can

he's hella close to just losing his shit and laughing so hard at you and you can tell

so you go in for the kill

a quick kiss on the lips, nothing more, nothing less

he goes catatonic almost

like damn near passes out from shock

"you ok, big guy?"

he kinda comes back to himself

"Yeah...Yeah I just never thought...We would, y'know?"

Mikey

This fucking guy

you would kiss him if he ever kept still long enough for you to

one day you convince him to teach you to skate

he tries to get you to do a trick shot but you end up eating shit and as you're lying on the floor he rushes over

he there kneeling over you making sure he hasn't killed you

and you're like better now than never

so you do it, you sit up and kiss him

he is unphased, as if this happens to him all the time

just smiles and kisses you back

which leads to a half telepathic conversation that goes something like "did you?" "yeah only- you did!" "yeah but, fuck... Only cuz.."

with lots of hand gestures and mimes

after that it's just solidified that you 2 are an item

Donnie

Oh sweet baby Donnie

he's wanted you to kiss him for so, so long

but he had never mentally prepared for his reaction

so when you just go for it (he won't even turn his lab chair to look at you he just talks while staring at his laptop) by sitting on his lap and laying one on him

all he can do is blush

you're like "you ok, fella?"

he tries to talk but then just starts wheezing

then he snorts

then he holds his head in his hands

all he can say is "this isn't how I wanted it to go"

you just kiss his head and walk away, he's gonna need some time

100 Feet and A World Away Lore Post

I said before if I won the first round of the TMNT AU Competition I'd put up a lore post of my separated (kinda) AU called "100 Feet and A World Away," which is really more of a reward for myself because now I get to ramble about my babies.

This is an AU I've been building in my head for some time and do eventually want to write a fic about. When? I do not know I have soooo many things I'm in the middle of right now but! hopefully! eventually!

So for now here's just some lore because I can't contain myself, I have to talk about this eventually haha. Like releasing a pressure valve.

without further ado

100 Feet and A World Away (a separated (kinda) AU) (aka the Shape of Water AU)

cw: dehumanization, child abuse (not by a parental figure), brief dismemberment (caused by Donnie, not TO him)

Backstory

quick note: in this AU the age gap between April and the boys is bigger than in canon because it just made things logistically easier; April is 20 and the boys are their S1 ages (15/14/13)

everything up through Lou Jitsu escaping with the boys from Draxum's lab happens as in canon

a few years later (when the boys are about 5/4/3), Splinter goes out to get supplies, leaving the boys in what he thinks (hopes) is a safe place (he doesn't have a lot of choices). He comes back to find the boys have disappeared.

he won't know what happened to them for 10 years

they were spotted by a human sanitation worker, who called animal control, who were like "what the hell is this" and got a Shady Military-affiliated Corporation involved. The boys are taken to a lab to be studied and, once their sturdiness and combat potential are observed, trained to be used for combat by the US Military.

the boys didn't go quietly, at least not Raph and Donnie, who viciously bit and tried to run; they were shocked and sedated. Leo, who had Mikey, saw this and decided to comply because he didn't want them to hurt his little brother. Mikey was too young to understand what was happening so his reaction was mostly just to cry.

Splinter had told the boys never to talk to humans, and the boys take this to heart, hushing up and never speaking to the humans even once they're taken to the lab. As a result, the humans know they have large brains but still assume they only have the intelligence of an ape at best. They treat them like animals, really the comparison I keep thinking of is the raptors in Jurassic World lol: something scary but with the hopes that they will eventually act like attack dogs.

to be clear revealing they could talk wouldn't have helped them much so it's for the best

the boys are given serial numbers when they arrive at the lab but the scientists call them by numbers as a shorthand based on the order they were processed in:

Mikey is Turtle 1

Leo is Turtle 2

Raph is Turtle 3

Donnie is Turtle 4

because Raph and Donnie acted aggressively, the scientists were afraid they would attack each other as well as Leo and Mikey, so they decided to isolate the two of them. On the flip side, because Leo and Mikey were more docile and Leo kept holding onto Mikey, they decided to keep the two of them together. An experiment in isolation vs socialization

as a result, the boys have not seen each other for the last decade, with the exception of two Incidents that I won't be detailing in this post (gotta keep a few secrets lol)

the boys are put through harsh training in an attempt to "tame" them and train them to attack/kill soldiers as ordered. they're also run through tests to determine things like their mental capacity and problem solving skills. there's no like medical testing/experimentation on them in this AU though it's mostly like if they do bad they get shocked and also the scientists/trainers don't really have compunctions against hitting them or muzzling them.

when not in training they live in their own zoo-like enclosures inside sterile rooms, much like the one in Shape of Water which is part of why the AU is the Shape of Water AU lol

MEANWHILE

April is an aspiring investigative journalist who just saw her first success uncovering some shady dealings in a supposedly non-profit organization

she receives a tip about something strange happening in an otherwise normal lab and testing facility just outside NYC's city limits

she's expecting to find illegal animal testing or bioweapons research

instead she finds Turtle Four

Donnie

has been isolated this whole time and as a result is more than a little feral, but not so much that he can't talk. he just has absolutely no sense of social etiquette (my inspiration is the bit in Rat Flu where he says "Make him say yessssah" and HEY BOY IT'S ME THE PS5-)

also he's still autistic but he hasn't learned to mask at all so he acts in a way the humans find weird and unsettling

thinks the humans around him are all idiots and he's so much smarter and better than them. basically his canon superiority complex has ratcheted up to 100 because he has no respect for these guys at all

makes regular escape attempts so lab security just keeps adding more and more obstacles (like an electric fence around his enclosure and steel doors to the room)

probably could have escaped by now but he always doubles back for his brothers and that's how he always gets caught by The Hunter

not as good with tech as his canon counterpart but only because he hasn't been allowed to read or study anything while he's been stuck here, so he only knows as much as he's pieced together messing with things in his enclosure and observing the humans. he's learned a LOT even this way (which is why he knows he's a genius!) but his thirst for knowledge is immense and he wants to get out so he can read books! break things and put them back together! use the internet!

has built up an entire imagined scenario of how things will be once he finally does break himself and his brothers out of there and I'm sure that everything will go exactly how he's expecting and there will be no hiccups at all :)

no longer has any attachment to the name Donatello and thinks of himself as Turtle Four, though he does remember being called Purple too

thinks their dad has abandoned them and doesn't really have any hope that he's looking for them

has a lot of scars on his body from his many many escape attempts and punishments, but most noticeably a scar along his jaw on the left side of his face

Leo

has been with Mikey this whole time so is still much more socialized, lucid, and "human" acting compared to Donnie

has poured all his energy since coming here into being Mikey's Big Brother and making sure things are safe and comfortable for him, being upbeat and positive for his sake, trying to make him laugh and keep him happy to the best of his ability, and generally just doing his normal canon thing but pushed to 11

this façade is the only thing keeping him going and god help him if it cracks

the scientists realized early on that it's easier to get Leo to comply if they threaten/hurt Mikey so Leo is scared of going out of line and just a big ball of guilt 24/7

due to An Incident he has a scar on the right side of his face that matches Donnie, and he doesn't particularly trust Donnie as a result. wishes he would stop his escape attempts because it makes the scientists cranky and they take it out on him and Mikey

still insists their dad is coming for them, if only to keep Mikey's hopes alive

inwardly pretty sure they're going to die here

is the only one who has seen Raph since their initial separation and refuses to talk about it

I'll Keep These Feelings Inside And Then I'll Die

still fully associates with the name Leo

Mikey

fully aware that Leo's putting on act for his sake, but if being a Big Brother is what he needs to keep going then he'll be the Little Brother he needs

knows it's unhealthy but what are they supposed to do?

feels guilt for being used as leverage against Leo

fascinated by humans even though he knows they hurt him regularly

once he saw a scientist doodling and his mind expanded by 1000%. the scientist drew him eventually and he's wanted so bad to do art ever since

the previous bullet point sounds like it's leading to a wholesome interaction but it is not, I'm sorry I mislead you

not as sure that their dad will save them as he lets Leo think he is; he has faith that their dad loves them and is still looking for them but also thinks Donnie is right that they should be helping themselves so they can get back to him

generally has more faith in their brothers than Leo does

can destroy you but chooses not to

still fully associates with the name Mikey

Raph

has gone full savage; it's a defense mechanism

his memories are still there, but they're so deep in his mind he currently only accesses them as vague feelings and sensations

still knows his family by scent, if not by sight

gentle giant when he's surrounded by Familiar Smells, very very aggressive when surrounded by Unfamiliar Smells

he's so dangerous the scientists don't interact with him much, which doesn't help the situation

thinks of himself as "it," when he thinks of himself at all

uncovering the real Raph would take a safe place and time and patience and he isn't getting any of that here!

April

was just trying to live her life man

dating Sunita but presently bummed that Sunita has rejected her suggestion that they move in together (it's because Sunita hasn't broken the whole "I'm actually a slime monster" news to her yet and isn't sure how, but April doesn't know that so she just thinks Sunita isn't as serious as she is)

when she meets Donnie he scares the absolute shit out of her at first

her first instinct is to get away from this whole mess ASAP, but then she realizes Donnie is just a kid and she can't just leave him in there

then he reveals he has 3 brothers and no he is NOT leaving without them

what has she gotten herself into...

is undoubtedly and irrevocably Big Sis April by the end

Splinter

never once stopped looking

finally found a lead that seemed legit but would need a human to help him get inside

found out about a young intrepid reporter looking for tips........

and that's all I'll say now ;)

The Hunter

basically the evil Robert Muldoon (from Jurassic Park)

I haven't named him yet sorry

his job is to catch the turtles if they escape, and he also participates in their training

fully aware that the turtles are more intelligent than they let on, thinks this just makes them more exciting to hunt

Donnie is basically his archnemesis (having a 14-year-old archnemesis is kind of cringe though bro)

will hurt them and doesn't feel bad about it

is missing a finger thanks to Donnie (I did say this was a Shape of Water inspired AU lol)

This was probably a little thin in places so if you are interested and have questions ask me! Wheeeeeeee~

#100 feet and a world away #my separated au #there's more I want to say but also I don't want to spoil too much if I DO write the fic #so this is just like #the really basic stuff

[annonniiiiieeeee]

Okay so I just watched catching fire and mockingjay part one. And I have new ideas and context.

(I will have more once the books are in my hands)

First I’m going to rearrange some characters

Cassandra and Casey are going to be from district 7 now. I was already tying Cassandra to Johanna, but I think the overall district feel just suits them better. Them being from the lumber district and having skills with axs and spears.

This means I will have to rewrite Casey’s games but I wasn’t satisfied with his game any way.

But now you must be wondering who is beetee as he is necessary for both catching fire and mockingjay. This was a big reason that I switched the characters around. I wanted an older character. I was thinking either Baxter Stockman from 2003 or Leatherhead from 2003. He seems older in that show and he is raised by the Ute on to be highly intelligent. Im leaning towards leather head as I like him more. But they will be from district 3

Usagi, Tomoe ame and Katauichi are all still from district 10. I’ve been thinking about giving them another victor.

Raph and the others are all from district 12.

But the biggest change besides where casey and Cassandra come from is a leosagi moment.

Their first kiss isn’t in district 13 anymore.

The night before the quarter quell.

Raph still hasn’t decided on any Alliances. Leo knows he needs them and Usagi has already promised to watch Raph’s back. But Leo knows Raph doesn’t trust Usagi, and he needs to come up with a way to make sure Raph won’t kill Usagi on sight.

Big mama had given Leo, mona, and Raph matching trinkets. Maybe instead of being all gold as in the original story she got them matching bracelets in their colors (Leo blue, Raph red, Mona pink and Big Mama lavender)

Leo sneaks down to Usagi’s floor to see him the night before they go into the arena. While they were all hoping for a smooth alliance the district 10 teen was surprised to see Leo so late. They had hoped he was announcing that his brother had finally decided to have them as allies (it would make the plan so much smoother)

Leo asks to talk to Usagi alone. The two slip into Usagi’s room for some semblance of privacy but they both know that they are probably being watched in some way.

The both try to start taking at the same time. There is so much to say. Usagi let’s Leo go first though.

Leo gives Usagi his bracelet telling him to show it to Raph as soon as he can. Raph might not trust Usagi but he trust Leo’s judgment and this is Leo declaring Usagi part of the team. That Leo trust Usagi completely

After Leo is done attacking the bracelet at holding Usagi’s hand, Usagi frames his face with his hand and pulls him into a quick kiss which surprises Leo but he tearfully returns.

Usagi pulls away just enough that their lips aren’t touching, but their foreheads are pressed together. They are so close that it’s not possible to see their lips moving between them. Usagi whispers as lowly as he can keeping his hands framing Leo’s face trying to shield them both as best he can. He doesn’t want what he’s about to say to be found on any camera or recording device.

He holds Leo’s close and in between soft kisses he begs him to do what ever Katsuichi asks of him. Usagi promises to get Raph out alive but Leo has to listen to Katsuichi.

Leo agrees and Usagi kisses him hard one last time before they part ways.

Leo’s not sure if Usagi meant any of that affection romantically or if it was just the best way to disguise their conversation.

To Usagi it might have been the last and only time he ever got to kiss the man he loved while also pleading his safety.

They won’t see each other again until after the rescue.

Last change Donnie is still gale, but some one asked about the rescue mission. Donnie is 100% on that mission. He almost didn’t get clearance but he is able to bully his way into it.

These are all my updates so far. But I know have way more context. Let me know what you guys think.

How about you tell us how did you meet? For all the Men

Ohh that's a cool one, thanks!

Doflamingo:

I met him when me and my crew came across Dressrosa. We decided to separate for a few hours because we all wanted to do different things. While I was walking around, looking at everything, I got into a fight with some other pirates. I found myself faced with roughly a dozen opponents. Doflamingo coincidentally witnessed this and decided to stop and watch for a little entertainment. One woman against a dozen men? Stupid decision. But I was doing surprisingly well, seemingly having the upper hand, when suddenly one of them attacked me from behind. I didn't see him. And that could've been my last moment alive. If Doflamingo didn't find me entertaining enough to decide to save me. He didn't make a big appearance or anything, simply stopped the guy with his devil fruit powers, so I had a chance to see and kill him. The fight was over and I wanted to take the guys' money and leave, but Doflamingo stopped me. He said he wanted to keep me. But I didn't want that, I didn't even know who the fuck he was in that moment. He didn't accept a no, of course, so we started fighting. I even made a screenshot edit representing that fight we had.

(I smiled in that scene because at that point I still was up for a fun challenge, thinking I would stand a chance against him.) It was a relatively quick fight, considering I underestimated who I was dealing with. The rest of the story isn't quite as pretty and minor friendly, so proceed with caution. He brought me into the palace and raped me. I was too wounded from the fight to do anything against it, really. But afterwards I was taken care of pretty well. Before I knew what was going on, I had new clothes, my wounds were bandaged and I got really good fresh food. I was basically held captive, going through cycles of this contradictory treatment. One minute abused, the next one being showered in affection and expensive stuff. Until I eventually developed stockholm syndrome and fell in love with Doflamingo. We became a couple and me and my crew stayed in Dressrosa, now sailing under the flag of the Donquixote family. We're all being taken care of very well now, being a respected part of the family 🩷

Smoker:

Smoker and I met when we were told to go on a mission together. We were both already vice admirals at this point. We discovered that we work quite well as a team so we did more missions together from that point on. Eventually, we became friends. And one day, after a pretty important successful mission, we decided to celebrate it with a drink or two. But we drank quite a lot and I think I told y'all the rest of the story already, but that night was wild in many ways heheh... 🩶

Raphael (2012):

That story is pretty boring compared to the other two. I went with the isekai style. But I put a little twist to it. Because I already liked Raph as a kid and just didn't get in touch with him anymore until I was fucking 20, I decided to go with the following: I got into their world at the age of,, like,,, 10 or 11 (I can't remember how old I was exactly) and then I kinda got pulled out of it again. Thinking they'd never see me again, they continued their lives and I continued mine. Until - BOOM - I'm suddenly back in their world a decade later and everyone is so surprised. And then Raph and I fall in love ❤️

Raphael (2014 & 2016):

Almost the same but,, like,,, only take the second half of the story. So I get into their world the first time when I'm 20 yk, no earlier history whatsoever ❤️

Secret f/o:

Hmm how do I explain this without revealing too much... Let's say we got to know each other because we knew the same people. So we saw each other a lot and at some point, when we were alone, he decided to "approach" me (he was very intrusive/pushy). Once again, the following story is not for minors, it's similar to the Doflamingo one. It was clear that he wanted me, but I didn't want him, because of,,,, reasons (can't say more, it would reveal too much). Then he basically just took me by force. I thought it was a one time thing and that everything could go on as normal if I just tried to forget about it. But it happened again. Many times. And at some point, I started wanting it. But I was like "no, wtf is wrong with me?!", so I tried to suppress the urge and drown it all in alcohol. Didn't work. Also smoked. Didn't work. The only relief was what he'd do to me and he soon realized that. He saw the state I was in and how the only thing giving me my fix was the shit he did to me. Plus, he grew addicted too. Nothing was as satisfying to him as having both a personal punching bag and sex toy in one person. It's a sick and twisted game of mutual addiction fueled by hatred and lust. And I don't think either of us will forget the first time I knocked on his door, shaking from the withdrawal symptoms, asking him if he could let me in. And that bastard smirked, knowing he got me hooked... 💙

CW: maggots

Leo is in another dimension. There’s a version of his family in this one, only they’re all the same breed of turtle and seem to have slight differences in who they are as people, though the similarities are heartwarming.

Leo is a medic and that gives him the insight to realise that something is wrong with Raphael. The smaller, more emotionally struggling version of his dear brother bear. He’s sickly but it’s subtle, like he’s drained of energy and fighting fatigue. He’s also rubbing the back of his neck like crazy. Leo figures it out quick, having seen the same thing happen to his own Raph. A maggot like bot fly infection.

He sits Raph down after managing to convince him to let Leo investigate his neck, about to explain when the brothers come in. Leonardo notices his counterparts serious expression, something new to him, and asks what’s wrong. “Raph, have you had an injury on your neck recently?”

Donnie replies, “he had a small cut a couple weeks back, but it wasn’t anything I thought warranted concern. Why?”

Leo sighs deeply, feeling as old as he pretended not to be. “It wasn’t cleaned… Raph, I need you to stay calm. I believe, well I know, that there is a lava infestation in your neck.”

Raph immediately starts to panic, chest heaving in gulps of air as tears threaten to spill. His brothers, who Leo knows can be rather ignorant to each others triggers and tells, treat it serious enough but still make room for a few jokes about Raph’s fear of bugs and him now ‘mothering’ some. Raph doesn’t even tell, too scared and in his own head.

Leo won’t let him, “ALL OF YOU SHUT UP!”

The room quiets.

“Raph, look at me. That’s it, just listen to me, okay? I’m going to help you. I’ve seen and treated this before, I know what to do. It’s going to be okay, I swear on my Ninpō and the whole Hamato Clan. After I’m done we can kill all the lava and then I’ll teach you how to make sure it doesn’t happen again, okay? Does that sound good?”

Raph manages to calm down, though he holds an iron grip on Leo’s arm. He nods at him as his lower lip quivers and a few sniffles echo through the room, causing his brothers to break and start swarming him to comfort and assist.

Leo keeps his promise, even killing the lava when Raph can’t bare to look at them.

Sleepy time

Donnie and Leo both bumped into each other while trying to go to Mikey’s room

🟦-“OW- hey watch it I’m holding tea”

leo glared at Donnie but looks down and noticed he was holding gummies

🟦-“Ooo gimme-!”

Donnie quickly smacks Leo’s hand away

🟪-“They're not normal gummies idiot it’s melatonin gummies plus there for mikey-what kinda tea is that anyways?”

🟦-“sleepy time tea”

🟪-“Ohh Wait I have an idea”

after a lot of evil twin planning

mikey was working on an art project and heard a knock at the door not taking his eyes off of the paper he yelled

🟧-“Come in!”

Donnie and Leo walked into and gave him the tea and gummies mikey looked up and smiled

🟧-“Aw! You guys thanks”

Donnie smiled and patted Mikey's head

🟪-“No problem Angelo you needed a snack anyways!”

leo nodded and smiled as mikey drank the tea

🟦-“Ok little bro gl with your project”

🟪-“Yeah!”

as mikey threw a few gummies in his mouth Donnie and Leo walked out of the room and smiled and gave each other a quick fist bump

🟪🟦-“Boom.”

{in the morning}

leo quickly ran to Donnie’s lab

🟦-“HES NOT WAKING UP-“

Donnie quickly looked up from his work

🟪-“Wha?!”

leo dragged Donnie to Mikey’s room to see Mikey knocked out cold on his desk

🟦-“Ohhh Raph is gonna kill us-“

🟪-“Did you try-“

🟦-“IVE TRIED EVERYTHING-“

Raph quickly came out of his room and found everyone

🟥-“hey y’all! Aww Mikey’s sleeping”

Donnie and Leo quickly finched

🟪-“Heyyy Raph-“

🟦-“ HU-“

raph was confused but shrugged it off and looked at the time

🟥-“Shouldn’t he be up by now it’s like 3 pm-“

Leo and Donnie awkwardly chuckled

{LOL AN HOUR LATER-}

raph is just scolding the twins for pulling off that stunt while mikey was on Raph’s back he was up just in a daze-

TMNT Micro Fic #4

Splinter paced a slow line back and forth in front of his eleven-year-old sons. This whole affair filled his heart with unease. However, a promise had been made, and the boys had fulfilled their part. He drew a deep breath and faced the four eager faces squarely. “Do you promise to remain underground?” “HAI, SENSEI!” “Do you promise to take the first aid kit with you?” “HAI, SENSEI!” “Will you all kill each other if I let you go?” Donatello instantly replied, “No, Sensei!” His left kneepad slipped down his string bean leg, but he pulled it back up with a kilowatt smile. His goggles toppled forward and left him tugging on their strap. The kneepad fell down again.

“Probably not?” Michelangelo glanced at Raph. His freckled baby-fat cheeks puffed as he bit back giggles. Toes tapping a quick rhythm, Mikey almost, but not quite, stopped himself from dancing where he stood. The streamers tied to his elbow pads rustled.

“Kill each other? Uh. I mean, maybe.” Raphael offered an honest smile with a hint of an apology shrug as a downpayment on any future scrapes or scuffs. He bumped his mismatched boxing-gloves together eagerly; he still wore bandaids from earlier in the week.

Leonardo matched the rest of his vibrating brothers. Blue finger-painted racing stripes covered his spindly upper body. Unfortunate thumbprints somewhat spoiled the design, but Leonardo hadn’t noticed his paint nipples yet. He laughed brightly. “Definitely yes!” Splinter balked. “You will kill each other?” “No, sensei! But I’m going to smoke all three of their tails! My racer is awesome!”

That triggered a tidal wave of denials. “No way! My racer is way better!” “You don’t even know what you’re messing with!” “I’m gonna smoke your tail and don’t you forget it!” Each of them had a hidden racer they’d worked on all winter. And while he’d helped them each out in turn—to make sure no one was going to lose limbs to this contest—Splinter knew what each of these racers looked like. He knew his sons. And he knew that this would be more of a demolition derby than a downhill race in the old spillway. “You’d have to be mutated on the finish line to have a chance at beating me!” “Yeah well, you’d need time travel to beat me!” “My racer did time travel and I’ve already won, so—“ “I’m not loosing to a bunch of egg-pooping pipe-lickers—“ “Raphael! ENOUGH!” Splinter sighed heavily and rubbed his temples. He was going to have a riot on his hands if he didn’t let them go. Leonardo waved his hands desperately. Splinter was having second thoughts and Raph had to go throwing around bad words. Splinter needed reassurance, fast! “But it will be fine, Sensei! We have the first aid kit! We’re just going to the spillway under Central Park! We will be—will have lots of sportsmanship! The good kind! Please let us go. We did all our chores. We behaved all winter! My racer—our racers are so cool! Pleeease—” “Yeah! We did our chores! You said if—” “It finally stopped raining! The spillway is dry for optimal racing—“ “I built the best racer, Sensei! Please! Lemme show’em! I can win—” With slumped shoulders and a prayer that Shen would watch over them, Splinter relented. What else could he do? “Yes, yes, my turtles. Just remember your helmets!” All four boys scattered full-tilt to their ’top secret garages’ before his second 'yes.'

All My Fault

~Ashley~

I hurry down the hallway to my and Mike's bedroom. I put Liv's love package on the bed. I’m wicked excited to show Mike what’s actually in the box, but right now I have bigger problems to address. 

I pop my Keds off, so I won’t make any noise. I hurry back out of the bedroom and head down the hall where the three guys are...

I slide to a stop in my socks and run back to Raph's door. I'm hoping he's an unnecessary reinforcement, but I'm getting him anyway.

I tap on his door quietly, praying he's still up.

His door opens after a second and he looks down at me, concern etched on his face. 

"Hey, everything ok?" He asks, as I hurriedly put my hand up to his mouth to shoosh him.

"I think I may have caused a problem between Don and Leo," I whisper quickly.

Raph's face drops. "What happened?" He asks, crossing his arms.

"No time to talk, I need you to come with me, I don't know if there's gonna be an all-out brawl," I whisper, grabbing his gargantuan arm.

He says nothing else and follows me quietly back through the common room. I go to sneak into the garage to stand by Mike but Raphael grabs my arm and gives me a tug. I turn to him looking confused but he nods to the hallway that leads to Leo's and Master Splinter's rooms. I follow him without further question. He stops for a second by Master Splinter's room and grabs something from underneath the small potted plant that sits on a shelf next to the elderly rat’s door, and then takes me the rest of the way to the end of said hallway. He takes whatever is in his hand and sticks it into a small hole in the stone wall, causing an unseen door to pop open. He reaches back and grabs my hand and pulls me into the darkness with him, closing the door behind him with a quick yank.

"Where are we?" I ask softly.

Raphael produces a tiny flashlight and grabs my hand again pulling me down, what I can now see, is a tunnel of sorts.

"It's the escape route," he says in his normal voice, jogging lightly so I can keep up. "Me and my brothers needed to make sure we could get Dad out quickly and quietly from anywhere in the lair. There are hidden doors everywhere with the little keys hidden nearby," he continues, turning left with me still in tow. "I'm surprised Mikey didn't show you, honestly. It'll bring us right out to the garage."

"Wow," I say, trying hard to sound impressed but I'm too worried about the upset I've caused.

"Quick recap. What happened." It was a statement and not a question.

"I let Leo see Liv," I say, fearing his reaction.

He chuckles.

Well, that is not what I was expecting.

"You couldn't help yourself, could you?" He asks, smiling at me.

"I promised Leo. And Donnie was being unreasonable!" I say, defending myself.

"Yea he was," Raph agrees, surprising me. "But he has his reasons, and it's a long story. We'll talk about it later though. Right now, let's make sure Romeo and Prince Charming don't kill each other before they even get to meet the lady in question," he says, looking at me and rolling his eyes. "Jesus, these two," he finishes, as we reach the end of the tunnel. 

Quietly he uses the 'key' to pop the door open, and I find myself stepping out on the outer side of the laundry room, in the garage. He pulls me forward next to him and puts his finger to his lips. We are hiding behind the laundry room wall, behind Leo.

"Did you have a nice night, Leo?" Donnie asks.

We see Leo nod as Donnie slowly walks up to him.

Lowering his voice a couple of octaves, Donnie says, "I thought we agreed that I was in charge of this operation," he says. 

I lean forward a bit more so I can hear them better, but Raph grabs the back of my shirt and leans in toward my ear, "Not too close. Donnie will see you," he whispers.

I nod, standing back a bit, but still peeking around the edge of the wall.

"We are supposed to be leading this team together, Leo," says Donnie, his voice laced with irritation. "You were the one who came to me and asked me to help you lead - because you were overwhelmed - And I totally get it! I don't blame you, at all. You've done a lot for us over the years. And, honestly, I don't think any of us could've handled the stress as well as you had for so long," he says, his voice lowering even more. 

My eyes are so wide, I'm pretty sure they are gonna pop out of my face at this new information. Why didn't I know about this?

"Out of everyone, I probably appreciate you the most. I understand that kind of pressure. Being the one everyone looks to for answers. The one, that if one wrong decision is made, or if the wrong information is conveyed, can be the cause of complete catastrophe for the team. Lives included." 

Leo looks down, sighing, sounding defeated and guilty.

"How would you feel if I went behind your back and disobeyed your wishes?" Donnie says, now sounding sad. "If you don't respect and trust me as the co-leader of this team, how do you expect the others to?"

"I'm sorry, Donnie," Leo breathes out. "I have no excuse. I knew, and I should've never disobeyed your orders."

"It's not his fault," I hear Mike say, from the entry to the common room.

Donnie turns towards Mike's voice and Leo looks up as my boyfriend walks toward them, guilt flooding his features.

"Leo didn't know. He was invited over to Ashley's tonight, not knowing why he was wanted there," says Mike, looking directly at Donnie.

"Mikey, don't..." Leo starts.

"Leo, you don't always have to take the fall," says Mike.

"Great. So you both disobeyed my wishes," says Donnie, sounding pissed, throwing his hands in the air.

"No, they didn't," I say, stepping forward from my hiding spot.

"Jesus, is everyone here?" Says Donnie.

Raph steps out behind me, arms crossed, looking like his blood is boiling.

Donnie swallows hard and Leo's eyes go wide.

"We'll discuss this 'co-leader' thing later," says Raph, looking like someone just pissed in his Wheaties.

"Go ahead, Ashley," he says, encouraging me to continue.

I sigh. "It was all my idea," I say.  "You were being unbelievably unfair about what I could and couldn't share about my own cousin, Donnie."

"Yea, well, there's security..."

"Shut up and listen, Donatello," snaps Raph stepping forward.

Donnie closes his mouth and nods, clearly intimidated by his older brother.

Raph nods at me to continue.

"You know, not telling everyone about Liv's personal information was my wishes. Not yours," I say with a huff. "I understand there are security risks, but not coming from your own brothers! They are the ones you should trust the most! The security risk was Liv! Not your brother seeing a damn picture of her!" I exclaim, Donnie, looking down at the floor.

"I promised Leo he could see her. And you were turning me into a liar, making me feel like I was playing the blame game. And that will NEVER be ok with me," I tell him. "So, I invited him over for pizza and drinks. And by chance, Liv had sent me a box that I needed to open with her on live chat. And he got a chance to see her in real time, instead of just a picture," I state.

I look around the room at all the guys, waiting for some kind of response, but everyone is just kind of standing there dumbstruck.

So, I continue, "so, if you're going to lay blame on anyone, it's me. I will take the blame. It's all my fault. I am the only one responsible for all of this... Mess," I say, motioning my arms around to all of them.

Master Splinter's voice comes from behind the weight room, directly across from the Laundry room, "Actually, aside from Ashley, you are all at fault."

[2k3 Don Raph]

Donatello was the quiet one; passive, sensible, preferring to keep to himself in his lab all day, but it didn’t mean he didn’t get angry. He carried a weight he refused to mention to his brothers, never speaking of the trauma’s inflicted upon him. The nightmares of the other World where they all died. The second mutation that nearly killed him. The brain probing when those aliens came for Professor Honeycutt. He brushed it all off, bottled it deep down and kept working. If he focused on a new project, something to tinker with, it meant he could rationalise the fears that crept down his spine.

But he couldn’t keep it like that all the time. Some nights he’s wake up from a terror, unable to breath or focus - it’s why he’d stay up as much as possible. When the lair went too quiet, he’s fly into a fit of panic, needing someone to bring him back to the real World and remind him everything is okay. And some nights, not amount of tinkering could help keep his building frustrations at bay. The sound of arguing and fighting from the living room had gotten on his nerves, Don no longer able to tell who’s voices were yelling; he just knew there was voice. He reached back and tugged at the tails of his bandana, tightening the knot uncomfortably. He couldn’t deal with it tonight.

So he headed out of his lab, bo on his back as a frown to his face. No duffel bag tonight, he didn’t have a plan; he didn’t really want to think either. He hunted down Raph, thankfully catching them before they headed out for the night. Grabbing their wrist, he offered a sheepish smile,

“Hey Raphie?” And despite the frustrations he still speaks so softly, as if everything was fine, even when he knew it wasn’t, “You mind if I join you on patrol tonight?”

Usually Donatello only went out when all four of them were going, or for trash diving. But an actual patrol? Something was up, even if Don refused to open his mouth,

“I could do with some fresh air, you know, clear my head,” He gives a faint laugh, lets the metaphorical mask slip slightly as he adds on, “And maybe vent out a few frustrations...”

He trusted Raph, which is why he brought it up. Don even making a quick biting motion with his beak; though he didn’t really bite to initiate playfights with Raphael anymore, it a rare occurrence now, he still hopes his twin knows what he’s hinting at right now.

| Muse Interaction

"blah blah blah you hav'ta Raph blah blah blah order order. Oh why dontcha take all the crap comin’ outta yer mouth and shove it Leo!” Rapheal went out to holler out, voice roaring out against the walls of the living room. Oh wow and Raph and Leo argument what a surprise would say no one in this family. They often were the ones getting into spats like this and well annoying at best it was one of the more just annoying ones breaking out between them. Of course Leo just stood there arms crossed over his plastron staring down at Raph and it just made the blood in his veins boil hell not even it was like they were set a blaze as he went on to brush off Raph’s comment speaking in an even down as if he was dealing with a child simply throwing some tantrum. Oh that just made it even worse.

It took everything inside of Raphael to not reach out and grab Leo by the shoulder when they blew him off just now. Turning on their heels lecturing Raph about his outbursts. Yeah he had that damn temper sure but all he was hearing was unlike himself, Leo wouldn’t stoop as ‘low’ wouldn’t be baited as if that what Raph was doing pulling mister perfect down to ‘his’ level. He could so easily reach out turned them around and sock them square in the face, gritting his teeth grinding against each other as Mikey was standing off to the side watching this all going down as if this was just something better to watch. Raph bawled up his hands and growled under his breath. Between the two of them not taking him serious reducing this out burst to nothing but that of a child’s whining just pissed him off even further. Arm swung up and slammed down so his fist smashed into punching bag near him. Able to at least exercise that much control in his action, as the fabric of the bag torn a little for some sand to start spilling out, he’ll patch it up when he gets back. 

“If ya care i’m headin’ out for the ‘ight better ta deal with the loser runni’ the city.” a slight snark towards Leo Turning away to leave as the tension in the room followed Raphael on his way out. Grumbling under his breath to himself complaining about well Leo of course. As he went about making his out of the lair and to the tunnels so he could leave. beating the shit out of whatever group of idiots he came across first sounded like the best way to deal with his building frustration. Call it patrol but nah it was just him needing to get his anger out, maybe call up Casey well he’s at it to join him. Well he would have done that till hearing Don’s voice.

“Hey Raphie?” 

Didn’t matter how pissed off he was he just halted the second he heard ‘Raphie” force of habit maybe, he was the only one he was mad at right now anyway besides Don only used Raphie when they needed something. Maybe Don’s calmer tone helped to not get a snippy response out of Raphael just now. No verbal answer just turning a bit to show they had his attention.

“You mind if I join you on patrol tonight?” 

Raph sort of needed a moment to understand what they just asked, he looked them over they didn’t have their duffel bag so it wasn’t that Don wanted to go out and scout for supplies. Also it was just Raph heading out, not so much a real patrol but Don was smart he would be able to know what was up from the fact he was leaving off on his own like this. Hmm something was up with Don it seemed. A bit like Leo in that they didn't express emotions all that much but Don's issue was he kept it to himself, bottled it up.

“I could do with some fresh air, you know, clear my head,”

As Don let a laugh slip out just now Raph offered a tilt of his head, oh okay someone was dealing with a lot themself it seemed. Maybe it was the twin thing or just how close he was with Donnie over all but yeah he could see that mask Don wore was slipping a little here. Guy was dealing with something and like himself? he needed to vent it out.

“And maybe vent out a few frustrations...”

If them saying as such wasn't enough to prove Raph's thought the motion of biting the air just now? yeah that sure was enough to sell the point. Raph knew better than anyone in the family that Don could grow just as frustrated as he could but Raph tend to explode over it Donnie? he kept it in so long that words just were not even of use for him.

"hmm a good ol' brains and brawn team up?" Raph went to suggest letting a smile crack over his beak just now. Yeah he was still pissed off at Leo and annoyed with Mikey but well getting out with his twin brother? Tossing in it was for Don's own sake so it kind of distracted Raph from his own anger in the moment. Walking over as he near enough slammed his arm over Don's shoulders tug them in his way already walking to lead the way to the nears way out of the tunnels. "le's go brainiac, we got all night to get some skulls crushed then." chuckling a little eh what could he say he liked spending time around Don and getting them out of their lab? well that was miracle of it's own though there was the underlining concur he just wasn't expressing in this moment. If Don was up for 'venting his own frustrations' then hmm yeah something must be going on with him. "Was just gonna ask Case ta come out with me, but Don? hell I wanna see how scared we make some crooks." trying to hype his brother up a little bit. "Oh I got all the best places in mind we can check, pft these humans are stupid they go back to lotta of the same joints." okay maybe Raph wasn't as angry now he was kind of getting a bit excited over watching Don let lose. Letting go of them once getting to the ladder as he near hop to start climbing his way up, pushing over the cover minding to check before he popped out, peeking back in to hold his hand out "come on Einstein move ya shell. or i'll leave ya behind." no he wouldn't but Don didn't need to know that, well he likely already did. "oh know what lets go for Dragons even fuck maybe some foot clan dicks even. No need waste time on an easy fight right?" he started to egg on gauging just how far he might get to push his brother.

Shadows like Fire: Prologue

They were the last ones left.

Their friends had all been slaughtered in the same war that took the life of their father.

The same war that would take their lives.

But they held their heads high as they scaled the side of the New York building to begin the last fight of their lives.

A cool breeze rustled the tails of their masks, but they hardly noticed as they gripped their weapons. There, on the other side of the roof, was Shredder. The night was silent, just for a moment, before a roar of rage filled the air and the fighting began. 

Mikey fell first.

His throat had been slashed open by the Shredder, his body crumpling to the ground in a bloody heap.

“Mikey!” his brothers screamed at the same time. They all tried to reach the body of their baby brother, but the monster in front of them blocked their path to him. Shredder laughed, regarding the broken body at his feet.

“Pathetic.”

The tallest brother let out a howl of rage, tears streaming down his face as he used his bo staff to launch himself in the air. If he could just reach Mikey, if he could just get to the body, he could find a way to fix this.

But it was not to be.

“Donnie, wait—”

The purple-clad turtle didn’t make it past the Shredder. The monster caught him in midair, and in one fluid motion, it snapped his neck.

The two older brothers roared as Donnie’s body fell on top of Mikey’s. They attacked as one, with just one goal: kill the Shredder and avenge their family. Shredder took some of their hits but doled out more. He yanked the blue-clad turtle’s arm, ripping it out of its socket before throwing the turtle across the roof. Raph was quick to stand between Shredder and his brother, trying to ignore the fact that the bodies of his younger brothers lay a few feet behind him.

Shredder lunged, but Raph dodged and pushed him back. The turtle jumped, kicking Shredder in the chest. The monster staggered backward, and Raph stabbed with his sais. One dug into the Shredder’s shoulder, and the beast lashed out with his claws in pain and rage.

Raph’s body fell to the ground not a second later, blood seeping out of his open plastron.

Leo watched in horror as his last brother fell, then slowly brought his eyes up to the Shredder. Ignoring the pain in his arm he leapt, closing the distance between them. Shredder blocked his first attack but failed to block the next one. Leo swung low, aiming for his legs. Shredder staggered back before rushing at Leo, slamming him into the ground. He aimed a killing blow at the turtle, but Leo rolled away and jumped up. He struck again and again, gaining on the Shredder with each painful swing of his katanas.

Shredder growled. “Enough!”

Leo swung his katanas one last time before white-hot pain erupted in his chest. His eyes widened as the Shredder’s decapitated body fell backward, pulling the blade from Leo’s own body. Leonardo stumbled back, tripping over Raph’s body. He was dead before he hit the ground, his body acting as a bridge between his brothers.

The New York night went silent, as though the city itself was mourning the loss of the four heroes who defended against danger time and time again. Their bodies now lay, bruised and broken, atop a roof in the middle of the city. Their memory would soon be lost, erased from the world once the last of their allies passed on.

But when danger called, they would again reunite.

After all, they were heroes. And an old foe was rising once again.

Raphael squinted his eyes.

For the past twenty-two minutes he’d been wondering what was wrong with this picture. His breakfast was getting cold and he’d even neglected to smack Mikey’s hand away when he stole a piece of bacon off his place.

Raphael took pride in his observation skills, often he noticed plenty of things in his environment but while Donatello ran commentary on it he usually kept the information to himself. He shared a room with his youngest brother so he knew any odd shift when it came to Mikey. He is very close with Donnie, spending a few sleepless nights by his side while the genius tinkered away at projects, even lending a hand here and there.

Leonardo for all of his hard headed ways and their personality clashes, he felt he knew him well enough too. The leader though, was much more guarded in his emotions which made for some difficult moments to completely gage his older brother.

You on the other hand were an open book, plenty of times he’d spent time with you, getting to know plenty of your ticks and thoughts. Raph considered you a close friend, a confidant he could turn to.

But as you all sat together for a late breakfast. Mikey inhaling his while Donnie’s overworked eyes looked into his coffee cup as if lifes answers laid there, Leo and you were just sitting there, suspiciously.

You were still in your sleep wear, Leo’s groggy movements mechanical as he ate on autopilot. You yawned reaching for a coffee refill and without command or hesitation Leo had pushed the creamer and sugar towards you, going so far to place the exact amount of both in your mug. You had given him a sweet smile, reaching a hand to thumb a crumb away from the corner of his mouth.

Raphael raised a brow ridge, well naturally that could translate to common kindness. You all knew each other, often April had in some form or shape probably done something similar. He poked a few pieces of eggs into his mouth, now he was intrigued.

He picked up a few more instances where his curiosities got the better of him.

For instance one afternoon while you were over he had decided to gather info. Raphael had kitchen duty and you had stuck around to help him out. “What’s up with you?” A common not so invasive question, you shrugged. “Same old, same old” You gathered plates to set the table. Raphael kept his gaze at the task at hand, cutting tomatoes for the sauce he was preparing. “Yeah but have you done anything? Gone out with friends? Maybe found your future husband?” He chuckled even more so when you nudged him with an elbow. “A forget you have a sense humor under all that angst” Raph smiled, the two of you often bickered Iike this.

Truth be told you had never mentioned a boyfriend or a girlfriend, the subject was never really breached. With the amount of time you spent in the sewers with them it never came up if you had some partner or if you even were dating. Raphael added the tomatoes into a pot, you joined his side ready to help with more cutting of condiments.

Then Leo arrived and he felt the air shift, he peaked a glance at you, a small smile playing on your lips. Leo in turn greeting the two of you before he made his way towards the fridge to retrieve something to drink. “Want something?” He asked from the fridge and honest to God Raph was very sure he wasn’t asking him. You nodded extending a hand for the soda he gave you, he leaned against the fridge and chatted you up as nonchalant as ever.

Nothing in the small chat raised any flags, Raph’s sauce almost burning from how intently he was concentrating of quite literally eavesdropping on you two. You laughed at something he mentioned, that was bizarre because Leo was seriously not even funny but he could be biased on that end.

“Your hair looks pretty that way” Leo spoke, a tad bit shyly. Raph stirred the sauce, brow ridges shooting up, ‘real smooth big bro’ he couldn’t help but think. Then again he had probably at some point told April the same thing, well they all had commented on April being pretty in all manners of ways.

But this felt just the taddest bit different?

He excused himself having to get back to whatever he was doing. Raph squatted to get something from the bottom cupboards, he didn’t miss the blush on your cheeks.

“Yer hair does look nice like that” He tested, you beamed brightly at him. “Thank you, you’re very sweet when you put your heart into it” She teased smacking a hand towel at him.

Inconclusive results.

For now.

This stupid notion continued to bother Raphael, curiosity would kill the turtle in this case. He wanted to know if truly something was amiss there and you both being friends he wondered why you just hadn’t flat out told him what was up. Nevertheless he couldn’t drop the bomb on you, you could be motorfide or maybe deny it to high hell. Asking Leonardo was out of the question, he sure as hell wouldn’t say a thing.

So Raphael kept his gaze glued as you parted ways for the night. You gave a hug and kiss to everybody, quite normal for your loving nature. He got his hug and kiss, so did Donnie, April and Mikey. Once you landed on Leo you did the same.

He could’ve sworn you lingered a little more, going so far as to whisper something to him because Leo gave a little huff of a laughter and smiled. He definitely slid his hand away from your lower back quite slowly.

Maybe, just maybe...

One patrol night he got stuck with Leo while Mikey and Donnie were doing rounds on the truck. They were scouting out a bank that was rumored to be hit soon by a group of robbers. Raph didn’t mention you, in fact he patiently waited for these robbers to possibly show up.

Something vibrated and his gaze landed on Leo who was reaching a hand into his pocket to pull out his phone. His concentrated and serious featured softening with whatever he read on the screen. He typed back something quick, shaking his head from whatever image or words or whatever had been provoked out of him. “Everything good?” Raphael asked, Leo nodded as if back to ‘normal’ and that absolutely was suspicious in his book.

That night didn’t yield any resolution and honestly it’s around this time that Raph regrets this little task that had occupied his time. He had originally decided to leave it as inconclusive, at some point You two dummies had to say or do something. He had been rummaging his room for his hand wraps, more than ready to get his nightly workout in order. When he had come up empty handed he exited towards Leo’s room, he always had them which annoyed the red banded brute.

His first mistake was not knocking or making his incoming presence known. A rookie mistake considering he lived with three young adult brothers.

His second mistake was just barging in like he owned the place. An annoyed “Jesus Leo quick taking my shit” spewing out of him.

If mistakes One and Two had been adverted he wouldn’t be standing here, wide eyed and frozen.

Because he really didn’t need to see his brother stark ass naked on top of his best friend who he basically considered a little sister, equally naked to boot. There was a solid fifteen seconds where Raphael didn’t know if he running out was the best option, mumbling a ‘shit my bad’ was better or if covering his eyes and screaming at his brother that he better be a gentlemen to you cause you’re a great gal.

Leonardo’s hands cupped your exposed breast for modesty sake, the need for the ground to dramatically open up and swallow him whole heavy in his mind. You had squeaked when Raph barged in, hands super glued to Leo’s rear and god why couldn’t you scream and let go and scream some more.

Raphael finally turned around, an embarrassed heat breaking over his body as he groaned in disgust. “Shit fuck, sorry sorry! I didn’t see shit!” Oh but he did and oh did he crave bleach. “Raph get out! This is why you knock!” Leo chucked a pillow at his brothers shell. You had finally let go of Leo’s rear, covering your face in mortification. “Hang a sock or something outside then!! I can’t read minds!” Raph bellowed.

Mistake number 3 happened because Raphael was a drama Queen through and through and the shouting only helped to alert his brothers towards the room.

“Can you two not fight for five whole minu-OH GOD SORRY!” Donatalleo had exited as quickly as he had approached the room. Mikey thankfully barely saw anything since Raph and Donnie yanked him out which Leo was thankful, he knew Mikey would never let this situation go.

A very quiet hour passed by.

Nobody wanting to say anything. Mikey had left for the tunnels to skateboard for a while. Donnie had thrown himself into truck repairs not even wanting to discuss what his eyes had briefly seen.

And Raphael had sat on the couch, every few minutes making a face whenever his brain decided to bring back the nights events. He heard movement from Leo’s room, the small pitter patter that belonged to your feet. Raph kept his gaze down, whatever playing on the tv long forgotten, he saw your feet when they tentatively approached the couch.

“Um Raph” Your tone was hushed.

“Didn’t see anything, matter of fact nothing happened” Raph grabbed the remote, you sat down and sighed. “Listen you weren’t the one with your tits out here” You crossed your arms grumbling, Raph almost chortled but then he remembered Leo and simply made a face.

“Why didn’t you tell me you and him were a thing? We’re friends, I mean you can do better but you know” He smiled when he felt your elbow smack his arm. “He’s really nice don’t be so mean” You sat back on the corner, Raph looked at you, you were wearing an oversized shirt clearly spending the night.

“Sorry for ah, not knocking” Raph spoke softly.

“Sorry for no telling you I had it bad for your brother” You smirked, enjoying Raph’s disgruntled expression.

You scooted close and hugged his massive arm, Raph smiled. “He better be good to ya... and well, don’t break his heart, he’s an ass but he’s my big brother” You nodded against his arm.

You had stayed for a little before returning back to Leo’s room, the leader was reading on his bed but quickly looked up when you came in. “Everything alright?” He asked tentatively. You nodded climbing into bed and in between his legs to lay on him. “We could’ve so gone a better way telling everybody, at least it’s out and we can just be ourselves” You rested against him, Leo’s chin a top your head.

He wrapped his arms tightly around you and smiled. “I’m never living this down but I’m happy we can just be ourselves” He poked your sides earning an earnest squeal from you.

Outside Raphael could hear the quiet giggling and laughter. He was happy for the two of you, it made sense.

Mikey walked in, board in hand and sweaty from skating for hours.

“So Leo loses his V card first, huh brah?”

Raphael groaned.

May I request something where Leonardo and reader are really good friends and reader gets kidnapped and turned into a mutant. Leo blames himself, but reader reassures him it’s not his fault and they end up kissing. 💙💙

I'm To Blame [Leo x Mutated!reader]

Being turned into a mutant becomes the least of your problems when your closest friend believes it to be his fault. No one could have predicted what was going to happen; no one can control everything in their life. If only Leonardo would have realized that.

It started as leverage-abduction. The Turtles confront them, or you be pumped full of mutagen. Or worse.

The bait had been set, and the boys had no choice but to take it. Hook, line, sinker. You were held in a Foot-controlled lab, bound next to a glass canister of the ooze, a line in your arm and only the clan scientist in control of the drip standing between you and a possibly grotesque fate. You struggled and squirmed, but it was no use; there was no escape on your own.

There was a crash outside the lab doors, men shouting, guns firing, but bursting through the doors were your four saviors. Your friends, allies, and family. Leo fought his way to the front, a new kind of urgency consuming him as the gravity of the situation hit him. Any closer, and you would be mutated.

"Halt!" a soldier shouted over the clamor, a team of heavily armed men forming a semicircle around you and the scientist.

A hand grabbed hold of the back of your neck, yanking you toward him. He forcefully stretched your arm out and displayed the tube, making a note of their predicament, and the boys grimaced. Raph growled that deep, rage-fuelled rumble, while Donnie felt a shudder run up his spine seeing the canister of mutagen. What DNA the concoction was infused with, they had no idea of. There could have been anything in there. If the dosage wasn't carefully monitored, she could be killed!

"Weapons down, turtles, or this girl will be transformed right in front of you," the scientist said coolly. Leo stepped forward, blade drawn and teeth bared, but a warning shot was fired into the wall next to them. Mikey yelped and ducked into Raph, who blocked him partially with his huge frame. The scientist leaned down and inspected the canister, humming, "It seems like this batch is highly unstable. Is this a game you want to play, mutants?"

"You're bluffin'," snarled Raph, and his hands gripped his sais impossibly tighter.

The scientist raised his brows, his free hand wandering to the activator to the mutagen. One tap of a button, and your humanity would be ripped away. "Perhaps. But can you really be sure?" he inquired almost casually. "Only one flex of my finger, and we'll see."

Clenching his jaw, Raph shifted, lowering his weapons a little.

Leo mentally gauged the man power that was currently present. They could take them, he knew they could!

But Leo couldn't trifle with the canister currently attached to you. Breathing heavily, he dropped his swords, which clanged loudly on the floor. His eyes met yours, solemn, and you broke into a violent fit.

"Leo!" you cried out, lunging forward as he told his brothers to stand down. "Don't do this! Please, please, get out of here!"

He only shut his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, they all let go of their weapons in succession.

"We're not going to leave you!" Donnie yelled in return, his voice shaky.

There was a deafening silence in which it felt like a standoff, the boys panting, trying to formulate a battle plan in their heads. Leo stared at the scientist with one of the most hate-filled gazes you'd ever witnessed.

One of the soldiers in the back turned halfway around and whispered something into his earpiece.

The hefty metal doors right behind them flung open, a line of large men clad in black carrying what looked like modified cattle prods. The rods popped with electric currents as they closed in on the boys, who were only able to whirl around quick enough to meet the electrified weapons, and were instantly stunned. Currents no human could withstand brought them to their knees, Mikey shouting shrilly as he fell forward.

Groaning, Leo kneeled. He turned to the scientist at your side, his eyes darting between you and him. "You got us. Now let her go," he said. His voice was low and raspy.

Hand hovering over the button, the scientist spoke while he looked you in the eye, "You know, we were short of a healthy test subject."

Mikey gasped and planted his palms on the floor, "You can't do that, man!"

The scientist sighed and looked down at you, who was wildly struggling against your restraints. He muttered in a matter-of-fact tone, "But I can." It seemed that after a moment of contemplation, eyes going out of focus as they fell on your face and the tears running down it, he let out a reluctant groan, and motioned to one of the men behind him. "Take her elsewhere. We'll figure out what to do with her once we get these," he glanced back at the turtles, "squared away. Clear?"

"That wasn't the deal!" roared Leo, rapidly surging toward the scientist. Another electric shock was sent through him, but he kept on, and the brothers all followed suit.

You winced as the clamor rose and all hell broke loose, the boys ripping their weapons away from the men, guns being fired—your ears rang and a bullet even whizzed by your head.

Leo came at the scientist with his blade, the cowardly man trying to duck away in time. Two soldiers came up on their flank, one with a semi-automatic, and the other brandishing the electric rod. Except before they could get close to even shock him, Mikey's nunchucks landed a heavy blow on one of their heads, causing him to stumble toward you.

And fell right onto the button.

"No!" you heard both Donnie and Leo scream as the drip was activated, Mutagen flowing through the tube and into your body.

Everything became a blur. Within minutes you mutated, firstly writhing on the floor in agony as the burning liquid coarsest through you. Bones shifted, tissue changed, muscles spasmed. Your senses were temporarily blinded.

"Idiots!" snarled the scientist, backing away from you as you transformed. Raph was occupied holding off the soldiers. Mikey couldn't bear to watch. Donnie didn't know what to do, and Leo was...devastated.

Your strength grew. You broke free from your restraints. The firefight continued, this time aimed at you rather than just the Turtles. But the boys wouldn't let them hurt you. In your panic, you'd almost attacked them—your family. Leo hollered at Donnie and Mikey to get you out of there while they covered you, and seconds later, you were all barrelling out of the facility, alarms blaring, guns sounding, men shouting.

Yes, the Mutagen was highly unstable. You couldn't control yourself. And your body, it wasn't done reacting to the ooze.

You didn't know what happened next. You fell unconscious just after escaping. The last thing you can remember is Leo catching you in his arms. Him helping to carry you back home, to the lair. Your new home. You were one of them, now.

Breathing labored, you sat up on the metal table you had been laid on by Donnie. He'd checked your vitals already. Needless to say, so early in your mutation, things were not looking the best. But you would pull through; he was sure of it.

The first face you sas upon waking up was Leo's, worried. His eyes flitted all over you. You hadn't yet seen yourself.

"Y/N," he whispered, hands bracing against the edge of the table. "This...this is my fault," he said.

Donnie scuttled by holding a light and examined your eyes, then asked you to move a bit to see if there were any anomalies such as paralysis. You had some trouble adjusting to your new form, but so far, it wasn't dire.

Everyone came and went, hugging you, saying their piece about how happy they were that you were okay—as okay as you could have been—until Splinter noticed Leo's distress. He told the boys to let you two have a minute alone. Splinter left himself, as well.

The two of you now alone, Leo had a hard time speaking. He couldn't quite find the words to say how sorry he was.

"This isn't your fault," you drawled, still feeling a little loopy from the whole ordeal.

He leaned in, as you couldn't do much beside sit up. "If you hadn't ever gotten involved with us, this would have never happened," he said, lowering his head. "And now you're…"

He paused, and you finished for him, "I'm what? A mutant?" you asked softly. "Leo, I am so lucky to be alive. And it's all thanks to you." He sighed, not believing your words. "They would have killed me, Leo," you added, and took his hands in yours. He looked up at you, blue eyes meeting your own. Had your eye color changed?

"You didn't deserve this," he swallowed.

"Does anyone?"

He stood up. "This happened because I failed, y/n! As a leader, as a friend—"

Not caring about your current state, you slid off the table, landing on your feet with a thud. Your body ached, but you payed it no mind. Leo went rigid as you closed the gap between you two.

Still holding his hands, you told him slowly, "It is not your fault."

Your faces were only a few inches from each other. Unknowing, he gripped your hands. You swore that you could almost hear his heartbeat picking up as you leaned in, lips hovering over his. He looked as though he wanted to say something, but you stopped that thought. "You understand? Not...your...fault…"

His breath hitched when you gently pressed your mouth to his, at first going completely still. But then he closed his eyes, and his arms found their ways around your torso. The kiss was short and gentle, but he was stricken—only when you parted did he whisper a moment later, a new kind of hope inside, "You can live here, with us. You don't have to worry. You shouldn't ever have to worry, y/n."

"I won't worry, Leo," you muttered, letting your head rest on his chest. "Not when you're here with me."

He held you until eventually, everyone filed back in, Splinter smiling warmly at the sight.

[the-four-terrapins]

The Leader’s Dream

Warning! Graphic, mention of main character death. 

I wake with a start, my hand instinctively moves to my side table for the hidden blade as my mind screams danger. Just as the tips of my fingers reach the hilt it hits me and I take a deep breath. The walls of my room, my books my sanctuary, I am at home in bed…..safe.

  I feel the heat of you, to my side you sleep soundlessly, peacefully, and I thank the gods I didn’t wake you.

 I had the dream again, the atrocious waking nightmare that has haunted me for a few weeks now. Is it just a dream or is it a sign, a premonition of a horrible future? I hope it’s not the latter, I don’t think I could handle it.

 There is blood, so much blood painting the floor and walls with its crimson wave. Some of it is The Foot, some is my kin. I had failed them, served them up to the Shredder on a silver platter unable to see the treachery in our mist. I should have known better, I was trained for this, I am their leader. They knew we were coming, someone had betrayed us and I would never forgive myself if this truly happened.

 They take Raphael first right before our eyes; the scene plays out in horrific slow motion. We drop in and the hothead insists he should go first, always wanting the first piece of the action. It should have been me.

 The trap is set perfectly, designed to kill. There were no prisoners this round with the Shredder. The large metal harpoon, something meant for a whale finds the middle of Raph’s chest piercing the scrutes of his plastron like warm butter.  His eyes widen in shock as his fingers wrap around the pole lodged in his chest trying to pry it from his body on instinct. His mouth opens to scream but the only thing that comes is red. All I can process is the silence but I know I’m screaming, Donnie is screaming and Mike……..Mikey is running for him like a sitting duck and before I can stop him or he can reach our failing brute another hurtling projectile makes its home in our little brother. I can hear him scream this time, loud, filled with pain and the wet sound that follows makes my stomach roll. Everything becomes blurry as both brothers fall to their knees, reaching for each other; dying……I’ve failed them.

 Seconds, it was god damn seconds and my body finally catches up to my brain and I reach for my katanas. Donnie manages to dodge the next, his brain was working faster than mine. I can sense mine but I’m not quick enough. I’m turning, blades in hand and it sinks into my side. I cannot feel the pain, well not the physical pain and I slice the tip free and yank the poll free.  All I feel is rage, blinding hatred and as the warehouse fills with The Foot I lose myself in the battle, in my mind, in my anguish. It must be how Raphael feels when the anger takes over.

 I don’t remember much of that part of the dream, just blood, lots of carnage and death. When I come too I can’t see Don, I can’t find him and my panic skyrockets. I can barley breath as I begin screaming his name. There are so many bodies on the floor, did I do that? Did Don? I find a pile of corpses and I begin digging, yanking at limps coated in red sticky film.

 Then green, I can see green, Donnie I found him but he’s not moving. I rip the last of the bodies from him and I scream, no….. I bellow as if I’m dying because I am. I see swords sticking from his sides pushed all the way to the hilt protruding from the other side. His once vibrant eyes lay open, cold and lifeless. I scream again pulling his body to me, hoping life remains.

 Just then he appears before me the metal monstrosity that was Shredder laughing, gloating at my pain and suffering. His eyes are red, flaming with the evil that lurks within. He has killed my family but to my horror then man isn’t done. No, he pulls you out of nowhere. Bound and helpless you struggle in his grasp, no, no not you!

 I try to stand, try to save the last of what keeps me whole but it’s too late, the blade pushes through and all I can do is watch the life drain from your face. He has killed me without even laying a hand on me. The last vision I see before my mind pulls me from my hell is my own harpoon sticking from my chest carrying my still beating heart.  

 (How would you sooth him?)
