Hey hey hey so I'm new to this whole tumblr posting thing, so I'm just gonna wing it and hope it works out

Hi! I'm LemurzSquad, or Lemurz for short! I'm a writer, a poet, an artist, and a musician. I doubt I'll be super active here (other than the excessive staring at tmnt art and comics I already do), but who knows.

In any case, I'm starting off with drawings from my rottmnt au, Journal AU. These are from the Leo-centric prologue series of JAU, Last Letters, Lasting Letters, which you can find over on ao3. You can also find the Mikey-centric sequel (Why We Spirits Leave) over there as well

Anyway, I'll be posting some more in a bit, just gotta figure this whole thing lol :D

Me encantan las tortugas!

Hi there, I'm Kat. I'm still relatively new to the TMNT fandom but I'm having a great time. So much that I decided it was time for a sideblog.

my kofi

What I'll post about here:

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (officially given up on the rest of Fast Forward and Back to the Sewers)

Bayverse Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 (finished season 1, will start season 2 soon)

Progress updates and general shitposts and memes about my WIPs (fan fics, mostly for Rise at the moment)

Hopefully some doodles and fanart as I learn how to draw the turtles (human anatomy is hard enough, now I'm trying to figure out mutant turtle anatomy, oh boy)

What I WON'T post here:

ABSOLUTELY NO INCEST/T-CEST!!! I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!!

No grimdark, listen, a little bit of dark themes/gore is okay in my book but pain for the sake of pain with no recovery or "hurt no comfort" (in the sense that it’s just torture porn) just is NOT for me. I don't have the strength.

My Current fics/WIPs:

Nobody Invited You ao3

Harbinger AU

Mute!Leo AU (more info to come later)

RotTMNT x BNHA crossover (Leo & Donnie centric) (more info to come later)

Set a Course for Home (rottmnt x Star Trek: Voyager crossover) (Donnie centric) 1 2 3 3.1

Familial Bonds AU (Casey Jones Jr. centric) (more info to come later)

Hot Soup, Cold Case (or, Lou Jitsu Unsolved AU)

Completed Works/One-shots:

Sword and Shield ao3

Hereafter ao3

Ask box is always open, down for asks any time, will notify/update if closing the ask box.

Broken Brothers (and How to Fix Them)

Part 2 💙 | <- Part 1 🧡

Note: This story is based on @cupcakeslushie 's Empyrean Weeping au. These characters are not my own, and this story is in no way canon to the main story. I wrote this as my love letter to the story and the characters. Especially April :)

Tags: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ROTTMNT, Leo & April, NOT MY CHARACTERS, Empyrean Weeping AU, recovery (i have a sneaking suspicion that will apply to the whole fic,,), talking it out because we're adults, movies, comics, they're becoming friends

Warnings (if there's anything I should add here, tell me please!): Mention of violence (its one sentence, but figure I should still put it here :P)

Words: 1,588 (there's less setup this time)

Summary: April was able to figure out her first brother easily. Now, she gets three more, with a couple more issues to worry about.

----------------------

As soon as she even saw Leo for the first time, she knew he wouldn't be as easy to get along with as Mikey was. Mikey was always so open, so bright, so bouncy. Leo, in comparison, was still, dull, and closed off. He had just come from a terrible ninja clan, beaten by his own master. It was kind of warranted.

Any time April would enter the medbay where they were keeping Leo, he would silently stare a hole in her soul. His face had hardly loosened from the scowl he had adopted, and any time April would get near, it would just harden more. Even so, April kept trying to get close. Despite Raph's concerns for her physical health. (And with Mikey's encouragement, because he was happy to enable the potentially dangerous behavior.)

One afternoon, she decided to bring a ton of her Jupiter Jim comics to read. The boys needed a break from watching their somewhat-volatile-yet-severely-wounded brother, and April knew he wouldn't talk to her. So, once she settled down in her chair a few feet away from the bed where Leo was scowling, she pulled out the comic she'd left off on: Jupiter Jim Breaks Newton's Fourth Law, Volume 8.

After a few minutes of reading, April couldn't help but notice a change in Leo out of her peripheral vision. He wasn't staring at her anymore, but at her comic. This glare wasn't full of discontent and uncertainty. Instead, it was filled with emotions he was trying (and failing) to hide- curiosity and excitement.

“You read Jupiter Jim?”

Leo was surprised by the sudden question and whipped his gaze away, a slight flush coming to his cheeks. “No.”

April's journalism senses were kicking in. There was a story here. “Why not?”

“Things like that are…” Leo's posture tightened, almost as if the thing he was about to say wasn't what he believed, “useless distractions.”

“I don't think so,” April said, shifting her chair a little closer to the bed. “I think it's important to have distractions sometimes. Y'know, during finals, when you're sick, when you've got a broken arm…” Subtly, April started slipping the comic in her hands to the bed. “You can read it, if you want.”

“No. I can't.”

Leo looked surprisingly aggressive when he responded. He seemed to catch his unwarranted anger and mumbled, “I still haven't read 6 or 7.”

“Oh!” April sat up straight and grabbed her bag from the floor. “I've got the whole arc up to 9 in here, I thiiink-” Once she had fished out the comics she was looking for, she placed them on the corner of the bed by Leo's feet.

The slider stared at the comics like they'd offended him.

“...well?”

“I-I can't. I can't hold them with my arm-”

“I can hold it for you!” April said. “I can turn the pages whenever you need.”

Leo finally looked back at April with that trademark scowl he always had. “What's your game, woman?”

April smiled. “No games, just trying to make you feel comfortable in your new home.”

Leo huffed. “This isn't my home.”

“It's where your family is, isn't it? Isn't that what matters?” April asked genuinely.

Leo looked back down at the comics. His eyes softened while the rest of his expression remained, and he picked Volume 6 up with his good arm. He opened it and silently began to read.

They both sat and read for a while. April noticed Leo struggling to turn pages sometimes, but she didn't dare try to help him. She thought he might bite her hand if she did. He was still scowling at the comic as he read, but it looked less like a scowl of anger and more one of concentration.

When he got done with Volume 6, April spoke. “So, who's your favorite character?”

“...JJ, obviously.” Leo slowly reached out and grabbed the next volume.

“Seriously? That's so basic.”

Leo scoffed. “Really? Then who's your favorite character?”

“Atomic Lass, obvi,” April said, flipping her hair for emphasis.

“Atomic Lass?! Her personality is literally just ‘woman’.”

“Uh, yeah, and that's the point?! Atomic Lad is just ‘man’. Haven't you watched Jupiter Jim on the Atomic Sub-Moon?”

Leo's shoulders lowered. “...watched?”

April sprung up and put her arms on the bed, looking down at Leo in shock. “YOU'VE NEVER WATCHED A JUPITER JIM MOVIE?!”

“NO?! THEY MAKE THOSE?!”

“THAT'S IT!” April grabbed her bag from the floor and moved it over to the side of Leo's bed. “You, keep reading. I'll get one of the boys to watch you. I need to head home and get my box set. We are having a movie night. Understand?!”

“Y-yes ma'am!”

“We can start with Last Trip to the Moon 1, but then we are watching Atomic Sub-Moon, I DO NOT care if the context is lost, you'll figure it out.”

“O-okay?!”

“RAPH!”

----------------------

“So… the real Atomic Lad and Atomic Lass are dead?!”

“Yes! And the Atomic Lad and Lass we know are-”

“People carrying on the legacy, who the Atomic people believe are still the originals?!”

“YES! That's why they never use their real names, that's why-”

“Why they act like Barbie and Ken for space…”

“Now you get it!” April leaned back into her bean bag and put her arms behind her head. The movie night had gone way better than expected. They had to set up the best pillow pile they could, since they didn't have a sofa big enough for everybody. In the end, April and Leo stayed in bean bags and watched the movies while the others went about their day. It took a minute for Leo to get into it, but once the moon buggy showed up, he was hooked. For the first time, April saw a child in Leo.

“So, have I won you over with an emotional, heart breaking backstory?” April asked slyly.

“Uh, no.”

April's eyes snapped to the slider. “WHAT?! What do you meeean?! I don't get how you like JJ more than Atomic Lass!”

“Well, he's the main character for a reason, for one.” Leo took another bite of the pizza slice he had been eating. “And second, he's the one who always gets everyone out of the bad stuff. He's the hero, and he isn't scared to sacrifice for his crew.”

“But, consider this, Atomic Lass has a giant rocket powered hammer, Leo.”

“JJ doesn't need a weapon. He's got the nerve pinch technique.”

“They never use the nerve pinch technique, though!” April whined.

“That doesn't mean he doesn't have it!”

“I never thought someone could be as dorky as April,” Raph said from where he stood a few feet away from the bean bag setup. “And yet, here we are.”

“Wh- dorky?!” Leo scoffed, looking at Raph incredulously.

“Yeah, dorky!” Mikey popped out from behind Raph's shoulder. “Y'know, nerdy? Geeky? Criiinge?”

Leo's face flushed and he curled in on himself, stammering.

“Hey, y'all are just jealous that we're bonding,” April defended. “If you gave JJ a chance, you'd like it too.”

Raph and Mikey both shut up quick. April waved them off, and they hurried out to the kitchen again, saying they were “getting more snacks”.

Now that they were alone, April looked over at Leo again. “They're stupid. Can't appreciate good media.”

“Good media?” Leo asked. “You mean B-Movies and old comics?”

“Yeah, man.” April grabbed a blanket and tossed it over at Leo, making him fumble to keep it off his face with his good arm. “It makes you feel good, doesn't it?”

Leo looked down and contemplated. “I mean… yeah. But I-”

“Shouldn't?”

Leo took a deep breath. “Yeah.”

“You don't have to worry about what you should or shouldn't do here, Leo,” April said, sitting more upright to look at Leo better. “You do what you want. What makes you feel good. That's all you should worry about when you're home. Doing what you want and feeling good.”

Leo turned away, looking at the TV, paused at the end of the credits.

“If it means anything, this really made me feel good,” April said. “It's cool to have somebody to talk about ‘nerd stuff’ with. And I'm glad you liked the movies. Atomic Sub-Moon is one of my favorites. Not as good as Pluto Vacation 4, but good.”

“There's more?” Leo asked timidly.

“Oh, there's loads more!” April grinned. “There's like a jillion Last Trip to the Moons, there's Jupiter Jim and the Overly Complicated Magic System, Jupiter Jim Squared Minus One, Jupiter Jim Breaks into Federal Prison, there's tons! We can have more movie nights, if you want.”

Leo looked at the blanket laying over him, grabbing it and rubbing it between his fingers. “I think… I think I want that.”

April pumped her fist. “Sweet! This means I've still got time to win you over to the Atomic Side.”

Leo let a single laugh escape his lips. “Yeah, not happening. Jim is the best, I don't care what you say. Even Red Fox is better than Atomic Lass.”

“AH! HOW DARE YOU?!” April stood up and looked down at Leo. “Just you wait, nonbeliever. Just wait until I show you the Atomic Lass spinoff comic. Or the Atomic Lass movies. You will change.”

“I wouldn't bet on it.”

“Oh YEAH?! I will bet on it. I'll bet on it so hard, you can call me Troy Bolton.”

Leo's eyes nervously shifted from side to side, centering back on April. “...who?”

“...YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL?!”

“NO?!?”

“RAPH!”

○●○●○●○

Yippee! Part 2! Part 3 is giving me more... issues... so it might take a minute to come out. But its coming! 🟪🐢

I really leaned into Leo's inner dorkiness here. I just thought him and April bonding over their obsession with an insane astronaut man was so cute. <3 (This is also why I'm so excited for the rest of Leo's arc in the actual comic! GAH!!!)

Congrats to everyone who won the first round of @tmntaucompetition voting! Very excited for the next round coming up :)

Part 3 -> 💜

MY ROTTMNT MONA LISA/IRMA LANGENSTEIN!! 💖💖💖

I know it's too early to assume that Mona Lisa or Irma will appear in the movie or not, but I had a lot of fun creating her,I based a little on Webby from "DuckTales" and her backstory to get the idea

Spoiler: In case you don't know In "DuckTales 2017" Webby and April Duck are the same person

She's half Mexican because her mother who works as Secretary and his father works in The Channel 6 as cameraman,so she decided to study Journalism to become a great News presenter,She loves axolotls and had a fish tank with two of them, she can also speak fluent Spanish

-The mutagen accident-

His mutation will happen after the events of the movie, where the surviving kraang create a cloud of mutagen based on the Oozesquitoes,On the way to university, she is a victim of that cloud because the laboratory was near her neighborhood (she was the only one affected) but the mutagen only made her half-human/half-salamander

-In the sewers-

Fortunately, she was April's college classmate, and was the first one she asked for help due to her reputation as "the weirdo in the class."

Without hesitation, April offered to take her to the sewers as a temporary shelter, but since she was afraid that the boys would seek more information about her, she lied telling the boys and Splinter that her name was "Mona Lisa" and she didn't feel comfortable talking about her life before the mutation

At first she stays distant with the boys, but this will slowly change.

She continues to do her homework and April hands it in for her saying she is very sick.

Sunita offered to find her a shape-shifting brooch like hers.

Leo is the closest to her because of his fascination with the Spanish language.

Donnie admires her computer skills

Mikey loves having her there because he thinks she's a new big sister.

Raph has a HUGE CRUSH on her but denies his feelings, which is hard because Mona asked him to teach her self defense (He is only 2 years younger than her people)

Do you have a question? Feel free to ask whatever you want in the Ask section :3

Pd: This has nothing to do with my other project "Blind Leo AU" but I may mix them at some point

So, I was rewatching some God of War 4 playthroughs and was suddenly hit with another rottmnt AU idea (coz I've got turtle brain right now I guess). Also inspired by all the different Separated AU art 'n' stuff floating around. So yeah, this be a separated au.

Right so! Splinter manages to escape Draxum's lab with all 4 turtles, but a couple of years later, when the boys are still toddlers, he is found and attacked (probably by the Foot? Maybe also by Big Mamas people? IDK yet) and during all the chaos the boys are lost/stolen. The only one he was able to save is Leo.

Raph somehow ends up underground, stumbling into the Hidden City where he wanders the streets homeless for a time before being found by Big Mama. Savage Raph be fighting in the Battle Nexus.

Mikey is taken by the Foot and raised to be an assassin (maybe trained under Tiger Claw?) joining their quest to resurrect the Shredder.

Donnie is swept away down a storm drain and believed to have drowned. But somehow or another (haven't fully figured it out yet) ends up as part of the Purple Dragons gang. Except they're a proper gang here and not just a small group of delinquent teens.

Thing is, during those first few years together, Splinter encountered and eventually befriended a young woman by the name of Tang Shen. Having recently lost her own baby girl, she found comfort in helping Splinter with his own children. Tho she did not know what they really were for a long time, as he kept his distance and she turned a blind eye to anything strange (New York, what a town, amiright?). Eventually she did find out tho, but by then they had gotten to be close friends despite everything.

After the attack, a badly injured Splinter went to Tang Shen for help. Realising they were still being hunted, Splinter decided to leave in order to protect his one remaining son, but Tang Shen insisted on staying with them. The three ultimately end up leaving the city altogether and moving out to a property on in the country. Which is how Leo comes to grow up in a relatively isolated cabin in the woods.

At first Splinter made many trips back to search for his lost sons, but as time passed without any sign of them, he eventually gave up hope. Focusing instead on keeping his one remaining son safe. Tang Shen however always maintained the hope that they would all be reunited one day.

Despite everything they had lost, the three did live happily together for many years. Until Leo was about 10-11 years old and Tang Shen fell sick and never recovered. Losing her was a heavy blow for father and son. Things taking a turn for the worst when their enemies finally track them down shortly thereafter. This be the part where I picture Splinter fighting off the foot soldiers all Dad of War style like: "LEAVE. MY. HOME!!!"

With their home no longer safe they are forced to gather up what they can and leave. This is when Leo discovers one last gift for him among Tang Shen's belongings. Matching scarves for him and brothers, each with their names embroidered on them, and a journal. Turns out Tang Shen had been investigating the other's whereabouts of her own, and tho she had no definitive proof, she had found some leads. The journal had all her findings as well as a message for Leo that inspires him to try and find his long lost brothers and reunite his broken family.

Convincing Splinter that the city would be the best place to hide the pair finally return to New York, making their new home hidden away in the sewers. Knowing his overprotective father would freak if he knew what he was doing, Leo begins his own investigations in secret, picking up where Tang Shen left off. During his search he encounters and befriends April who joins him on his quest. And 2 years or so later, the pair accidentally stumble across what they'll soon come to find is their biggest lead yet: a strange blue and yellow dog thingy...

I really enjoy the Magic Leo AU by @tutant

So much that it gave me an idea!

Apologies in advance for the sloppy writing and grammar.

Head cannon prompt for Rottmnt Leo x Reader or OC:

In Leo’s innocent quest to learn magic from Houdini’s journals, Hypno casts a spell on him and puts him under his control!

The others keep Hypno and Leo occupied while you and April go find a way to break Hypno’s control. Later, April has to separate from you to give the boys back up.

From a book in the Mystic Library, you travel to a lush forest area in the Hidden City. And there you meet the Trolls- A parody of the Trolls from Frozen.

They give you a potion to break the spell, but if Leo has been under Hypno’s control for too long, it wouldn’t work. Buuuuttttt.... there was one other thing that could break the spell, and only YOU could do it- A Kiss of True Love!

You proclaim to the Trolls you’re not gonna kiss Leo, but you didn’t deny you have feelings for Leo... They start singing an annoying song about you having feelings for him, it gets too weird, and you just take the potion and run.

Climax of the Battle!

Leo is knocked into the bay! You jump in after him!

In the water, you see his eyes are still glowing- it had been too long; the potion didn’t work! Finally, you accept what you have to do...

A few moments later, you resurface to the others with Leo attached to your side, the spell broken.

Does Leo know YOU kissed him? Or does he start to remember later on?

Rottmnt Fantasy AU Fantasy

* Chapter 2 *

* Rating: G *

Dark clouds roll overhead as Mikey glances at his brothers behind him for the fifth time in the last two minutes. He noticed something strange was going on when they first met up. For one, Leo was wearing a blue bandana, which he claimed was a fashion statement; whatever that meant and Donnie’s cloak didn’t have a single rip despite his many encounters with law enforcement.

Raph seems ever vigilant scanning the area no doubt making sure there were no bounty hunters or guards around.

“Raph.” Mikey tugs on his brother’s sleeve.

“Yeah?”

“Do Leo and Donnie seem off to you?”

Raph looks back at Donnie and Leo who are trailing behind a bit. Leo walks with his head held high seeming to not have a care in the world while Donnie scribbles furiously into his journal not paying attention to where he’s walking in the slightest.

“Looks normal to me.” Raph says turning back to Mikey.

“Something’s wrong I can tell. Trust me.” Mikey says his eyes pleading.

“Mikey—“

“What are we talking about?” Donnie suddenly appears on the left of Mikey causing him to jump a bit.

Before Raph can answer Mikey cuts him off. “We’re talking about how things aren’t always as they seem. Wouldn’t you agree, Donnie?”

A glimmer of annoyance flashes in Donnie’s eyes but it fades as quickly as it appeared. “Yes, actually I would. I’ve been mapping out some anomalies in my journal.”

“What kind of anomalies?” Raph asks curiously.

“Some mystic plants have been dying under suspicious circumstances. Something is killing them off. Something strange.”

“That is weird.” Raph admits. “Do you think it has anything to do with Big Mama?” Raph asks lowering his voice.

Donnie glances back at Leo who seems to have noticed their quiet conversation. “Possibly. Have you heard anything?” Donnie turns back to Raph and Mikey.

“No. How would I?”

Mikey notices a strain line of Donnie’s face as Raph asks. Almost as if he’s just realized he’s made a mistake.

“Donnie just thought you might’ve heard something from Red Fox or in one of those inns.” Leo jumps in now having walked up beside Raph.

“Yes, exactly what I was about to say before you interrupted the conversation.” Donnie says with a hint of annoyance.

“You were taking too long.” Leo replies tightly.

“You’re not gonna start fighting again are you?” Raph asks.

“No, of course not.” Donnie answers.

“Good cause we have a long journey ahead of us.”

“How long?” Leo groans.

“Longer then usual but we have a couple stops ahead of us.” Raph answers as thunder crackles above them.

“It looks like it might storm.” Leo mumbles and him and Donnie slink back behind Mikey and Raph to talk in private.

Mikey looks back at them and shudders.

* * * * * * * * *

“I can’t see anything through this rain!” The real Leo exclaims as him and Donnie trudge through the muddy forest after the two shapeshifters.

“Just hold onto me so we don’t lose each other in the storm.” Donnie calls back.

“Are we still following the foot prints?”

Leo’s question is only met by silence.

“Donnie?”

“The rain washed away the prints. We’re officially on our own.” Donnie answers quietly.

Leo’s grip tightens around Donnie’s cloak a bit trying to ward off the anxiety starting to trap him in.

“Leo, are you okay?”

“Y-yeah. We need to find shelter.” Leo replies.

“Couldn’t agree more but I can’t see through the rain.”

Leo let’s out an involuntary shudder.

Two shapeshifters and a huge storm. Not a good combination.

I have been wanting to draw this for a couple days now for whatever reason, and I finally got around to it

Dan can't help it

Anyway, I'm around halfway done with the next chapter of JAU, so that's cool I guess

Writing consistently is a struggle, man, but I'm trying my best, I haven't given up yet

RotTMNT Fic: Dating... With Children - Chapter One

(Also on AO3 if you want to leave a kudos/comment over there)

Plot: Benjamin Draxum hardly considered himself a man of high social standing. Not because he was uncouth or unworthy of it, mind you, but simply because he didn't have much of a social life. Hard to have one when he usually spent his days at work, cooped up in a lab for so long that he often had his lunches in there, and his nights at home reading or doing research for more personal projects. But perhaps meeting handsome semi-retired movie star - as well as his four young sons - could change all that...

((Human AU time! Another idea I’ve had for a while, heh. Originally this was going to just be a oneshot, but after thinking about the idea for so long, I decided I liked it enough to turn it into a sort of series. I'm not sure when the next drabble for this universe will come out, but I hope you all enjoy the beginning of it! ^v^ Also the title of this story is meant to sorta be a reference to the show "Married... With Children". I figured it would fit since I see this fic having just a bit of a sitcom feel to it, lol.))

Benjamin Draxum hardly considered himself a man of high social standing. Not because he was uncouth or unworthy of it, mind you, but simply because he didn't have much of a social life. Hard to have one when he usually spent his days at work, cooped up in a lab for so long that he often had his lunches in there, and his nights at home reading or doing research for more personal projects.

The only real interactions he had were with his slightly-incompetent interns and with the occasional opponent whenever he decided to participate in amateur MMA fighting at a small ring downtown. (It was amazing how great legally punching a man’s face out could make you feel after a day of little to no success with your experiments that day.) But, perhaps that was why his benefactor for his research - a title he was still sure she only held just so she could annoy him - invited him to be her plus one for the latest art gallery opening plus charity auction. Hmph, nothing more than an excuse to dress up and flaunt money, in his opinion.

“You need to get out more, Draxy~” She had told him on the phone, just one day before the event, “Let the fresh air flow through your hair and actually smile for once in your life!”

“I get out plenty,” he had argued, “And I doubt that there will be much to make me smile at an event like this.”

“You never know! One doesn't go to these events just go stare at the art, after all~” She giggled, easily reminding Draxum of a witch or a demon. “Besides, if you don't go, I’ll cut your funding down to a third of what it is now for the next quarter.”

“...You're a wicked woman, Arachna, I hope you know that.”

“Of course I do~ I’ll see you tomorrow night, Draxy!”

Draxum had slammed the phone down after that, too annoyed to even focus on his work for the next half hour or so. He cursed that woman, and silently hoped she went bankrupt one day, hardly caring how it would affect him.

But, unfortunately for him, a sudden stock market crash never happened, and he had been forced to leave work early the next day to insure that he wouldn't be late. Once home, he ate a quick supper of leftovers and put on the suit that he wore to practically all events when black tie wasn't required - a dark teal jacket and dress pants with a light blue shirt underneath and a gold colored tie bringing the look together. He also spent nearly twenty minutes braiding his auburn hair, figuring that Big Mama would complain if he kept it in a simple low ponytail.

After all that, he had driven over to the gallery, given his keys over to the valet, picked out a spot outside the building, and waited. ...And waited. ...And waited, until nearly half an hour had passed. Needless to say, if he hadn't been aggravated before, he sure was now.

Of course, because the universe loved to toy with him, the familiar gaudy purple limo finally drove up to the gallery just before Draxum had finally given up on his ‘date’ (ugh) making her appearance - and just before he could try and make an escape.

Morganna “Big Mama” Arachna stepped out of her limo, her red-framed glasses gleaming in the lights of the city as she grinned back at Draxum. “Hope I didn't keep you waiting too long, dearie!” Draxum just glared back at her, his arms crossed. Mama simply ignored her date’s pouting and looped one of her thin arms around one of his buff ones. “Let’s go in, then, I'm sure the paparazzo are already wondering where I could be~” she told him as she lead them inside, her security team right behind her.

That had been nearly two hours ago. In that time, Big Mama had quickly abandoned him, instead choosing to gossip with a fellow old-money heiress. She did however station one of her security team right by the door, once again foiling Draxum’s attempts at heading home early. So, with a sigh, Draxum did his best to ‘enjoy’ himself.

This consisted of picking at whatever small snacks he had decided to try from the refreshments table, browsing at the art that he had no intentions of buying, going upstairs to briefly look at MORE art he had no intentions of buying, and finally finding a small spot in the corner of the museum where he could read the latest science-journal articles that he had downloaded onto his phone.

“What a waste of a night,” he mumbled as he read through the last article, “Ugh, at least she didn't insist on keeping me company all night.” Now THAT would've been torture. “Surely two hours is enough… Though, knowing her she'd make me stay until the last painting is sold…” He then gave a thoughtful hum. “I wonder if there's a back exit somewhere…”

“Why are you talking to yourself?”

Draxum blinked, looking up from his phone, only to see no one there. The feel of a tiny hand tugging on his pants brought his gaze back down to the floor, where a young boy stood. He was dark-skinned with bright eyes and curly hair that had been somewhat tied into a bun. The boy wore a bright orange and yellow kimono, the edges of the sleeves littered with small, faded stains. Spotting the half-eaten cookie in his hand, Draxum could easily guess what the stains were from.

After taking a small step back, Draxum replied with, “I was just thinking out loud.”

“Oh yeah, my brother does that sometimes too,” the boy nodded, understanding. Judging by his voice and speech, Draxum could guess that the child was at least five years old. Though, with how small the boy was, he wouldn't have blamed anyone for guessing that he was only three instead. “I like your hair!” He then said with a smile, “It's long an’ pretty!”

“Yes, I've noticed,” Draxum nodded, his attention already back on his phone. But as he switched from his ‘Books’ app to social media, he still felt the stare of tiny eyes on him. “...Was there anything else you needed?” He asked the boy, allowing himself to scowl slightly in the hopes of scaring the boy off without completely bringing him to tears. The last thing he needed tonight was a crying child.

But the boy didn't cry, nor did he leave. He just shrugged, and sat down next to Draxum as he finished off the dessert in his hand.

Draxum’s scowl deepened, annoyed at feeling obligated to stay now. If he tried to leave, the boy would probably try to follow him out, or at the very least try to make him stay. Would probably start to make a scene too, ugh… Whatever this kid wanted from him, Draxum wanted it taken care of right then and there.

“Was there something you needed?” He asked again, “Or did you just want to say hi?”

“Just wanted to say hi,” the boy replied quickly, “And go know why you were talking to yourself. But now I know.”

“Yes, you do. And you've also said hello.” The boy nodded, but still didn't move to get up from his spot. Draxum held back a frustrated growl. Alright, plan B then. After all, there was no way this child came to the museum by himself. “Why don't you go and find your mother,” he encouraged, “I'm sure she's-”

“I don't have a mom.”

“Fine, your father, then. Or nanny or-”

The boy nodded again. “Yeah, Papa’s somewhere downstairs I think. My brothers wanted more snacks, but I wanted to look at the art and talk to people.”

“Well, I think you should go find him now,” Draxum told him, “I'm sure he's wondering where you are, and we wouldn't want to worry him now, would we?”

The boy thought for a moment before shaking his head. “No, I don't wanna make him worried.” He stood up and brushed the crumbs off his hands before looking back up at the man next to him. “You wanna help me find him?”

“Fine,” Draxum reluctantly agreed, suspecting that the child wouldn't take no for an answer, “But let's be quick about it, alright? No dawdling. We’ll just find your father and get you back to him, understand?” The boy grinned, and before Draxum even knew what was happening, he was jumping at him!

Despite being startled, Draxum still managed to catch him, and glared at the sneaky child when he settled into his arms. He opened his mouth to argue, but ended up giving a sigh instead, surrendering. If carrying him would get the kid out of his hair faster, so be it.

Remembering what he told him, Draxum headed down the stairs with the orange-dressed boy in tow. From the top, he couldn't see any families nor panicking fathers at the snack table, indicating that the boy’s family was probably already looking for him. ...Which would make finding them that much harder. Of course.

“See anyone familiar yet?” Draxum asked as they reached the bottom of the stairs. The boy looked around, a small frown on his face as he shook his head. Suddenly, a loud laugh caught both their attention.

“She's got pretty hair too,” the boy commented quietly as he stared at the woman in purple with shiny, silver locks of hair who was happily putting on a charming show for the press.

Draxum rolled his eyes, turning away from Big Mama before he could see her, knowing he'd never live it down if she saw him in this sort of situation. “Yeah, and she's got a big mouth too…” he mumbled.

They walked around for a couple minutes, keeping their eyes and ears open, until finally Draxum heard a voice - deep with a hint of a Japanese accent - rise above the rest, even at a distance. “Excuse me, have you seen a five year old wandering around here? He's wearing orange, and has curly black hair?”

After taking a moment to listen, Draxum figured out that the voice was coming from just up ahead, near the restrooms. Sure enough, as he rushed over there, he quickly spotted a tall (and if Draxum was being honest, handsome) man in a baby blue suit and red tie, with yellow tinted glasses to complete his ‘look’. Beside him were three children varying in height, all with dark skin and black hair. On the man’s right was a boy in a blue and yellow kimono with pale vitiligo patches around his eyes, and on his left were his other two children. One was about the size of the boy in blue, wearing a purple suit with a worn backpack and glasses. The other boy was dressed in a red suit, and was at least a foot taller than his brothers.

Yes, this has to be them. “Excuse me,” Draxum said, raising his own voice as he increased his pace, “Is this-?”

“Papa!” The boy in orange grinned and leapt right out of Draxum’s arms. He would've been lying if he said he didn't gasp at the action, a small part of him worried about the child injuring himself. But the man didn't even flinch, and instead stepped forward and caught his son with ease, as if the boy did this sort of thing all the time.

“ There you are, Mikey!” The man sighed in relief, hugging his son tightly. The rest of his sons looked up at them with smiles, just as happy as their father was to see their brother back safely. “Michael, what have we told you about running off like that?”

Mikey pouted a bit, nuzzling into the crook of his father’s neck. “But I didn't leave the building this time. I just wanted to go see the art an’ see more people.”

“And we can still go look at the art, together as a family,” the man told him before making his tone a bit more stern, “But please promise me no more running off, otherwise we will go home, alright?”

“Kay…” “Thank you.” Unable to stay too mad at his son, the man gave him a quick kiss on the forehead, instantly putting a smile back on Mikey’s face. With that situation taken care of, he turned his attention back to Draxum. “And thank you for finding him.”

“Well, it was more like he found me but, you're welcome,” Draxum nodded. Now that he was closer to him, Draxum could see more of the man’s features. His strong chin and smile, his bright slightly-mischievous eyes that were undeterred by any wrinkles that might have surrounded them, and the small streaks of grey in the man’s dark hair, making him look rather distinguished instead of just middle-aged. Yes, the man was certainly handsome, Draxum could admit, and… Sort of familiar.

Not wanting to seem like he was staring, Draxum glanced away as he continued. “It helps that this gallery isn't one of the bigger ones in New York, just one of the more exclusive ones.”

The man chuckled, setting Mikey down so he could talk with his brothers - the one in red already taking his hand so he couldn't run off again. “Tell me about it. But, unfortunately, I don't think space matters much to a child. You give them a second, and they'll run off in the blink of an eye.”

“Seems like you've got your hands full,” Draxum commented. The man nodded, letting just a bit of fatigue slip into his expression, though it did nothing to cancel out his happiness.

“What can I say?” He shrugged, “‘Having your hands full’ is pretty much a father’s job description. But, it's the job I want so, what can you do?” A bit sappy, maybe, but Draxum still found himself smiling back at the man, just a little. “Anyway, thank you again for your help.” He held out his hand. “Name’s Lou, by the way.”

“Lou…” Draxum repeated as he extended his own hand, and as they shook, it came to him. “Wait, are- Are you Lou Jitsu?”

Lou smirked, his glasses gleaming slightly as he tilted his head. “You know, I wondered if anyone would recognize me tonight. You a fan?”

“Hardly,” Draxum smirked back, “As far as I'm concerned, most of your movies are too cheesy even for ironic enjoyment. Though, the action scenes are usually the most impressive parts.” He had seen the man’s skills in other forms too, like in demonstrations or on talk show segments on tv a few years ago. He certainly wasn't the best actor, but the man certainly knew how to fight. (Had strong muscles and a pretty decent figure too, if Draxum remembered correctly.)

Choosing to focus on the positive part, Lou laughed again. “Yeah well, that's what happens when you do your own stunts. Much more of an impressive show~” Once they finally released each other’s hand, Lou crossed his arms, striking a bit of a subtle pose. “So, what can I call you?”

“Draxum,” he replied simply, “Dr. Draxum.”

“Well-” “Wait!” The two men glanced down at the boy in purple now staring up at them. “Did you say doctor?” He asked, “Have you ever cut someone open?”

“Donnie!” His red brother whispered, giving him a small nudge.

“What, Raph? That's what doctors do!” Donnie scowled back, “It's how they fixed Leo’s arm when he broke it.”

The boy in blue leaned over and quickly argued, “It was that tree that broke my arm, Donnie, not me! Would’a made it to the top if it wasn't for the branch!” Donnie just rolled his eyes while Mikey giggled at his older brothers’ antics.

“I'm afraid I'm not that kind of doctor,” Draxum answered, “I'm more of a scientist, actually. I study genetics and biochemistry with a bit of biology mixed in.” Realizing this might have been a bit too complex for a child, he added, “I try to figure out what makes people and other things the way they are, as well as how to possibly improve them. But no, no cutting people open for me.”

However, Donnie was hardly disappointed. If anything, he looked MORE excited and impressed. “Well, looks like you've earned yourself a fan, doctor,” Lou said, clearly amused.

Draxum gave a small chuckle. “I suppose so.” As annoying as children could be, he could admit that these boys were sort of endearing, in a way.

But even charming children could still be impatient and insistent, especially younger ones, “Can we go see the art now, Papa?” Mikey asked, already trying to pull away from his oldest brother’s grip and run off once again.

Lou nodded. “Yes yes, Mikey, we will go see the art.” The boys each gave a small cheer, eager to finally get going again after such a long and worrying delay. Knowing his good deed for the night was done, Draxum began to back away when a small hand grabbed onto him once more.

“You can come see the art too, Dr. Draxum!” Mikey insisted, “We can all see it together!”

Draxum hesitated. “Well, I-”

“Yeah, come on!” Raph agreed, the twins nodding along with him.

“You can keep talking to Dad about grown up stuff,” Leo offered.

“And you can talk to US about science stuff!” Donnie added.

“Yeah!” Mikey grinned, “It’ll be fun, right?” “Really fun!” “Super fun-!”

“Alright boys, settle down.” Lou took a moment to gently pull them all back before looking back up at Draxum, his slightly-cocky smile a bit softer now. More inviting, though not insistent, letting him know that he wouldn't be forced to stay if he didn't want to. Draxum definitely appreciated that. “Well, what do you say, Doc? Do you feel like putting up with us for a bit longer?”

Draxum looked at the family, and then at the front door. Sure enough, one of Big Mama’s guards were still there, causing him to still feel a twinge of annoyance despite his change of mood. He really did feel like heading home and curling into silent solitude with an old science fiction novel he had been meaning to finish for some time now.

...But, if he HAD to stay there, he knew for a fact that there was much worse and much more annoying company he could have… Turning back around, he allowed himself to give Lou a small smile in return as he gave his answer. “I guess I could accompany you all for another hour or so.”

The kids cheered again while Lou just grinned. “Well then, what are we waiting for?” And just like that, Draxum was led back upstairs, making sure to take small steps on the way, lest he trip over any tiny humans as he walked. He also felt a hand - one much bigger than a child’s - brush past his, just for a moment... He tried not to think about it too much.

Instead he focused on the art, and the idle chatter of the children that now surrounded him. They’d ask him questions occasionally, about the paintings or about his line of work as a scientist (Donnie especially focused on the latter). Naturally, he answered the questions as best he could, not minding them after a while. It helped that Lou also remained interested in the conversation, offering his own comments and answers and even questions.

True, the semi-retired action film star wasn’t much of an artisan - in fact, Draxum was starting to wonder how he managed to get an invite to this event in the first place - but at least he was enjoyable to listen and talk to. A bit over the top, yes, but not yet obnoxious and instead settling around entertaining.

They jumped from topic to topic as they went around the exhibit, and even when there was a pause, it was a comfortable sort of silence. They stayed to watch the auction for a bit, but after Raph tried to bid on a stylized painting of various reptiles and his brothers started getting bored, Lou and Draxum decided it was time to call it a night. While he knew he didn’t need to, Draxum still stayed just long enough to walk the family of five outside to the valet.

The kids said their goodbyes (with Mikey even giving Draxum’s legs a quick hug) before racing to the car, leaving the two men alone. Not one for awkward goodbyes, Draxum simply gave Lou a small nod before sticking his hand out

Lou stared at it for a moment, and then produced a pen so fast that Draxum almost thought he pulled it out of thin air, and took the other man’s hand before he could pull it back. Draxum raised an eyebrow. “What, repaying me with an autograph?” he asked, holding back a smirk.

“Nope. Something even better.” Not bothering to explain any more, Lou wrote down what he needed to before turning on his heel and walking to his car. Draxum looked at his palm, and-

“...Seriously?” Draxum said flatly, eyes going from the phone number in his hand to Lou, who just gave him a wink before ducking into the car and driving away. Draxum scoffed, shaking his head. Honestly, what was this, some cheesy 80s rom-com? “...Guess I should’ve suspected that from a movie star...”

He stared at the numbers in his hand, memorizing them within a few seconds but only putting his hand down when he heard sharp footsteps coming up behind him. “Well well~ I didn’t see you bidding, but it looks like you’re still taking home a sweet souvenir, hm?”

“And here I thought you had abandoned me for the night,” Draxum replied, “But it looks like I wasn’t that lucky.”

“Oh, I think you were VERY lucky~” Big Mama giggled, “Don’t think I didn’t see all of you. He certainly was a looker, and those babies of his were abso-tivitilly adorable~!”

Draxum glared at her, but Big Mama didn’t even flinch. “What, am I wrong?” He said nothing, and began walking as soon as he saw his own car pull up.

“I’ll see you at the next budget negotiations, and I expect to see all of my funds accounted for until then, Arachna.”

“But of course! I’m a woman of my word,” Mama assured, “Oh, and don’t you worry that pretty, silly head of yours, Draxy. If I invite you to any more evenings out, I’ll be sure to check the guest list ahead of time.”

“I’d rather you promise to never speak to me again.” Again, his words just bounced off the heiress, for both of them knew who really had the power in their business arrangement, and she just waved as he drove off. But, for once, Draxum didn’t let his annoyance towards the woman ruin his night.

...Instead, he remained annoyed at the part of him that actually wouldn’t mind a couple more evenings with a certain someone. The part of him that kept thinking about the numbers in his hand, and the bright smile that refused to leave his mind...
