(you can add more plot, I really just want father figure peepaw ~^~)

Welcome Home

Future!Leo + gn!reader

Warnings: angst, mention of blood and injuries, mentions of death, platonic fluff, swearing, found family if you squint

A/N: I honestly haven't read many F!Leo fics, if you could please recommend me some. :) I don't know if this feels rushed or not...

Previous | Next

Going back in time probably wasn't Leo's best idea, at first anyways. He wanted to see his family again. He knew it would hurt, but he wanted to know that Casey succeeded, to know that his family was still alive, still thriving, that Raph had beaten the pizza box record.

What he didn't expect was to end up in someone's backyard. A teenager came out of the house. Worrying and fussing, not caring that he was 6ft turtle man, that he had a prosthetic arm, or that it looks like he'd been through hell and back. No. All this kid cared about was if he was hurt.

"Who are you?" Leo hisses as you help him stand. You introduce yourself, in a way you reminded him of his family. You helped him inside and set him on your couch. "Where's your family?"

"Family?" You ask, going to the bathroom and grabbing the first aid kit.

"Parents, siblings?" He asks, holding his side, sitting up a little better.

"Vacation." You said it so nonchalantly, like it was something you answered every day.

"And they left you here? Alone?" Leo presses. You begin to clean his wounds.

"Is there something wrong with that?" You dab some of the excess away.

"Did they make sure you had food? Water? Heating?" He grunts as you apply pressure to one of the wounds that had reopened.

"How did you end up in my backyard?"

"Don't change the subject."

"The answer isn't important."

"Yes it is. You're... What 15?" Leo groans, leaning forward so you can wrap up his plastron. "I have 2 younger brothers. I'd never leave them like this."

"Where are they?"

"What?"

"Your brothers. Where are they?"

"Somewhere in the city. I was going to find them."

"Really?" He plopped back down against the soft cushion. You gave him a disapproving look. "Like this?"

"You'd be surprised."

"Uh huh..." You got up, taking the dirty things and threw them away. "I could call them... If you have their numbers. But then again... you are a turtle man."

"You think I don't have a cell phone because I'm a turtle?"

"No offense, but normal people would be terrified if a giant turtle man came in and asked about phone plans."

"I'll give you that..." Leo sighs, feeling comfortable around this odd teenager. "You said normal people... Are you not normal?"

"Normal is... in the eye of the beholder." You shrug.

"Are you a yo'kai?"

"A what?"

"A yo'kai. They're... Nevermind."

Leo dreamt of his time in the resistance. Of Mikey, specifically when he died, an orange bandana now gracing his katana.

You got him something to eat and drink, making sure he was comfortable and his wounds stayed closed. Soon you left the room and Leo drifted off to sleep.

꒦꒷⚔️꒷꒦

"It'll take everything I have."

He thought about Raph, dying in his arms.

"This isn't your fault."

Raph's last words. He had tried so hard to push them down. Leo felt guilty for the Kraang invasion.

He dreamt about Donnie passing in the medbay.

"The world wasn't meant to be on some 16 year old's shoulders."

How could Donatello, of all people, forgive him? Tell him it's not his fault, tell him that it was okay.

Now he was here, in a time period where they're still alive, 6 years after the Kraang. He wanted to see them one last time. Just once Leo wanted to look upon the face of his brothers, his father, his sister. He wanted to hold them one last time.

Greif. Suffering. Wanting to go back and replace them. They deserved better, yet, he was the one to survive. Why?

Only to wake to a 15 year old, watching him.

"You talk a lot in your sleep." You say. "Who are they? The people you were talking about?"

"My brothers." Leo pants, the dream still fresh.

"They... died, didn't they..." You spoke softer, like you were afraid of upsetting him.

"Yes..." He breathed.

"May I ask... Why are you looking for them?"

"I'm from a different time, the me in this time is 22."

"Yeah right."

"Remember that freak accident 6 years ago? Aliens?"

"Yeah..."

"In my time period we didn't stop them, they took over the world. My... My brothers died fighting them."

"And you came back in time, to a different time period, because you miss them?"

"I am nothing without them."

"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's go find them!"

You got him a big cloak to cover his 'turtleness' as you called it. You followed him through allies until you got to a sewer hole. He pulled it up, with a little help from you and dropped down.

"No offense, but this doesn't seem very homey to me." You jest.

"Let's hope that even in my advanced age, Donnie's system will still recognize me." Leo nudges you. "You on the other hand will probably be arrested."

"Tell them I'm a friend!"

You 2 continue down the tunnel, Leo pushed the hood off as you approached a door. He pushed it open and alarm bells started ringing.

"Fuck." Leo huffed. "Stay behind me. Donnie has a tendency to attack and ask question later."

Luckily Donnie wasn't the one who came to the door. It was Raph.

"Leo?" Raph lowered his Sai and reached out to him.

"Alright, who tripped the alarm!?" Leo could hear Donnie storming to the entrance. "Leo if you tripped the fucking alarm again-"

"Donnie... Raph..." Leo finally said, tears coming to his eyes. They looked so much better, healthier than the ones he grew up with. He wanted to hug them.

"Tello? Raph? What's..." Mikey walked up behind them. Donnie dropped his bo, shaking his head.

Finally tears fell. Leo fell to his knees, revealing you. It didn't seem to matter though as the other 3 turtles' eyes were still on the old man before you. Mikey rushed forward, pulling Leo into a hug.

"I'm so sorry." Leo hiccupped. "For everything."

Raph knelt down and pulled the 2 into a hug, his head on top of Leo's. Leo continued to apologize, for everything.

"It wasn't your fault." Raphael said. Donnie finally joined to mutants on the floor.

"The world was never supposed to be on one person's shoulders, especially not some kid's."

The words spoken on their death beds now had a new meaning. A weight lifted of Leo's shoulders, he squeezed his brothers, trying to engrain this moment into his brain.

"Who the hell is this kid?" All of you froze, looking up to see a young version of the old man you patch up. "Oh. I ruined a moment, didn't I?"

ROTTMNT Headcanons: my class got canceled so y’all get this

The only thing that pisses Donnie off more than stupid people is smart people pretending to be dumb

He’s gotten into actual screaming matches with Leo over this (Leo was only arguing for shits and giggles)

And yeah sure he knows it’s a manipulation tactic and it’s necessary during some missions

But if he has to hear Leo ask another stupid question he already knows the answer to he’s going to lose his mind

I said in this post that Leo cries like once a week which has led me to other crying headcanons

Mikey is the loudest crier in the family

He wails, he hiccups, he screams, he does that gross thing that little kids do where they suck the snot back in

He’s never quite when he’s crying and it’s honestly heartbreaking

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Donnie is a very quiet and peaceful crier

He barely makes any noise, his breathing barely changes, and he doesn’t even look like he’s acknowledging the tears

Leo is the ugliest crier

He’s got snot running down his face, he makes that little hiccup noise that kids make, and his eyes and face always end up puffy

And when I say puffy I don’t mean barely noticeable I’m talking it looks like he just lost a fight (am I projecting… may-haps)

This is another reason why he hides from his siblings when he’s crying

Raph always sobs always

He can’t just let a few tears go and then be done with it oh no

The second the floodgates open there is no going back

April always denies that she’s crying

And she tries to fight off the tears

If she feels like she’s about to cry she’ll leave the room to compose herself and then come back

And when she does start crying she still tries to fight it

She cleans the tears, she does that little hiccup thing that kids do when they try to talk while crying, she tries to fan her face in an attempt to calm down

Crying is never peaceful for April and it never will be

So for some reason I’ve seen the whole “he asked for no pickles” meme a lot and it’s made me think: which kid would send their food back if there was an issue

April: never in a million years

she has worked in too many restaurants to ever think about sending food back

She could order a steak they would give her a salad and she would eat the damn salad

Raph: absolutely not

He’s too nice to send food back

And he’s heard one too many horror stories from April about what it’s like to be a waitress

Leo: maybe

If it’s close to what he ordered then he won’t send it back

But if he ordered a steak and they gave him a salad he would politely correct them

And when the waiter would apologize he’s immediately calm them down and be like “no it’s probably my bad I definitely mumbled when I ordered (no he didn’t) don’t even worry about it”

Donnie: yes

He wouldn’t want to make a big scene if anything he’d ask one of his siblings to tell the waiter (probably Leo)

But he wouldn’t eat the food if they got to order wrong

Even if the mistake was something as simple as pickles

Mikey: Absolutely

You could use the wrong salad dressing and this man would send it back immediately

He wouldn’t cause a scene about it…

But if the waiter was being condescending… then that’s a different story

My friend was talking about her relationship and suddenly I was hit with relationship headcanons

April: would only enter serious relationships

She’s never experienced a fling and never wants to

“What’s the point of starting something if it isn’t gonna last” is a point she constantly brings up

Raph: I can’t imagine him in any kind of relationship

But I do think he’s absolutely obsessed with the idea of romantic love

He reads/watches love stories he’s just never felt any sort of romantic attraction

Leo: he’s never been in a serious relationship ever

He dates a lot he’s been a part of more flings than years he’s been alive

But he looks at April's relationships and knows he can never have that

Because he never allows himself to be vulnerable

The second a relationship gets too serious he backpedals so fucking fast (am I projecting maybe)

Donnie: I can’t imagine him dating either

I don’t know what his sexuality would be but all I know is the idea of a relationship disgusts him

He has his family and his friends and that’s good enough for him

Mikey: he wants to date but can’t

His siblings are so crazy overprotective and they scare off any potential love interest

Leo keeps saying “if I had to wait until I was 16 to date then you have to wait until you’re 80” (yes this is something my big brother told me)

Suffering In Silence

Title: Suffering in Silence Day: Febuwhump 2024, Day 7 Prompt: Suffering in Silence Fandom: TMNT 2003 Word Count: 1051 Author: aquietwritingcorner/realitybreakgirl Rating: T Characters: Donatello Warning: Summary: The Ninja Tribunal’s vision was shocking to everyone—but perhaps more so to one turtle than the others. After all, for someone who has seen the death of his family once, seeing it again is more than a little traumatizing. Notes: ff.net || AO3

________________________________

Suffering in Silence

Don followed his brothers and father back to the quarters that the Ninja Tribunal had prepared for them in a daze. They were all uneasy and quiet after the vision that the Ninja Tribunal had put in their heads. A vision of death and destruction that they could do nothing about, no matter how hard they fought within it.

Don shivered, but he barely paid it any mind. He hadn’t paid attention to a lot as they walked back, most of it slipping right past him. He hadn’t noticed when the other acolytes broke off to go to their quarters. He hadn’t noticed when the Ancient One decided to come along with them. He hadn’t noticed when the decision had been made to return to their room. He hadn’t even noticed the conversation that happened after the vision had ended. He’d barely paid attention to anything. Even now, as they entered their room and settled down on their pallets, Don barely paid attention to what was going on, still in a daze.

All he could see was his family, dead.

And it wasn’t the first time he had seen that.

This was just like before, even if it was different.

Don shuddered again and pulled his blanket around him, pulling it up over his head. He stared at the floor, wide-eyed, the world around him fading out as the vision still pulsed in his mind’s eye.

Splinter, crushed beneath debris from the ceiling, and a grave marker in a park.

Mikey, crushed and buried beneath the falling columns, and lying in a pool of his own blood after being sliced to ribbons.

Raph, slammed into a crater in the ground, not moving, and collapsed beside Leo, blood leaking from the sword wound.

Leo, burned, smoking, lying on the ground, dying, and laying on his back, the blood from his shell spreading beneath him.

And himself, lying smashed and crushed beneath the monster’s tail, and standing, looking at the bodies of his family.

Dead. All over again. All of them dead. And he remembers. He remembers. He can see it, he knows what happened and he could have saved them, if he’d gotten the information about chi out to Leo faster, if he’d not insisted that they take the Shedder out—

“Hey! Hey, Purple One! Are you listening to me?”

Don blinked, focusing on the face in front of him, realizing that the little fat man—the Ancient One—was standing uncomfortably close to him, right up in his face.

“Hey, kumquat! I think this one is broken. You need to fix him.”

Don heard Raph choke on a drink, and Mikey’s “I’m sorry, what?” but it was as if they were distant. He heard Leo sigh, but the footsteps of his oldest brother coming closer.

“Don? What’s up? Are you—Oh, Don.”

Leo knelt in front of him, and then reached out, putting his hands on Don’s shoulders. Don slowly raised his head, staring at Leo. He could hear his other family approaching, but all he could do at the moment was stare at Leo.

“I’m sorry, Donnie,” Leo said, his eyes full of compassion. “I didn’t think about that.”

“Think about what?” Mikey said, also kneeling down next to Don and taking his hand. “What’s wrong with Donnie?”

“The Tribunal’s vision,” Leo said, his voice firm. “It showed all of us dying.”

“Aw, shell,” Raph said, also coming to rest beside Don. “No wonder he’s shaking like a leaf.”

“Well, I wonder!” the Ancient One said. “Why is he shaking? Why is he silent and not responding?”

No one said anything, but Splinter came up beside Don, and laid a paw on his head. Don leaned into it, into the reminder that his father was here and alive and whole. He shuddered, still not able to rid his mind of the other images, and let his gaze fall again.

“Two years ago,” Splinter said. “An enemy flung Donatello into a future where the Utrom Shredder had taken over, where I had died, and where his brothers had been injured and were no longer together. He made a plan to take down the Shredder, and they agreed to it. However, the plan cost those three brothers their lives, and he saw them killed and their bodies afterward. This vison has reminded him of that.”

The Ancient One made a startled noise. “And you did not send this kumquat to me?”

Splinter began rubbing Don’s head. “I was not aware. He hid it from us for several months. Or, rather, from what the Utroms told us, he was not able to tell us.” Don could feel Splinter cupping the back of his head, trying to bring comfort. “They called it a trauma response. He was not able to speak of it. His body went silent.”

“Could you help him with that?” Leo asked, even as he kept a steady pressure on Don’s shoulder. Don appreciated it. It helped to keep him grounded, as did Raph pressing close to him from behind, and Mikey massaging his hand with both of his.

Don could hear the Ancient One hum. “Perhaps. I will see. For the moment, I can see that he is in good hands.” There was little bit of shuffling, and then the Ancient One appeared in Don’s sight again. “You. I see you. I see what you would do. Let your family attend to you. Do not suffer in silence. That is foolish! Even if you can’t speak, they are there. Let them help you tonight, and tomorrow we will talk.”

Don’s eyes finally tracked over to land on the old man’s, and he felt a bit of the fog that was around his brain lift, just a bit. He nodded, just slightly. The Ancient One, seemingly satisfied with that, moved away, letting his family take up the space again.

Don shuddered and struggled with the memories and differentiating between reality and memory for the rest of the night. He never said a word, but his family understood nonetheless, gathering around him, his brothers sleeping piled with him. If he had to suffer in silence, then they weren’t going to leave him alone to do it.

And that meant more to Don than he could express, even when he could talk again.

So, I don’t post my writing ever, but Cass and the whole series has been inspiring. The last part of Donatello’s chapter spiked interest for this one-shot.

Taking place between CJ running for his things, and coming back to see Uncle Tello in the bath, thoughts overwhelm Tello and make him question everything they’re about to accomplish.....maybe.

Potentially slightly ooc for Uncle Tello, but it’s my first go. All credit for story line goes to @somerandomdudelmao

TW: little angsty, (it gets better) anxiety

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

D is for Denial

Uncle Tello woke up in his enormous room with disheveled blankets and a somehow missing mask. He groaned and reached down in an attempt to feel his adoptive nephew. Poor kid passed out midway through his brilliant revival rant last night after being so convincing that sleep wasn’t needed. His hand fell into pure blanket and he glanced over his shoulder to confirm Casey’s absence.

Rolling over onto the empty blankets, Don muttered to himself, “Where could that kid have gone at this hour of the day?” A sigh escaped his throat as his arm draped over his face. “Maybe ran off to figure out how he found me? …That was a big piece of our puzzle we’re missing.” He dropped his arm above his head, making a mental note that his mask had been found there. Eyes carefully looked over his surroundings. The colors are so vibrant here. Plants were somewhat familiar and thriving. When was the last time he felt rays of sun coming down onto him? The warmth brought a feeling of safety, like there was…hope?

Donnie sat up with a desperate ‘huff’, suddenly extremely aware of what was being planned for his brothers to be revived. Sure, he had done this once before. Sure, he documented the process to a ‘T’ so it could be repeated by almost anyone (including Leo). Sure, Casey Junior was here to help, but something wasn’t sitting right. Something felt wrong about this. Dee’s brows furrowed and his knees came instinctively to his chest.

“What the hell is this?” he questioned himself. “W-we know- I know what needs to be done for this…” Thoughts began flooding his brain like a tsunami. ”Denial”

“What if these calculations only work for Raph?” “Denial”

“W-what if we can’t find all the materials?” “Denial”

“What if this doesn’t work in this timeline?” “Denial”

“What happens if something goes wrong?” “….”

“Why in the hell am I only thinking of worst-case scenarios?”

“I don’t know, maybe DENIAL?”

Casey’s words from their last conversation silenced his constant questioning. Were any of their combined efforts even worth it? Could this unprecedented experiment even be replicated? Could the Great Donatello…have been wrong? Air had been cut off from his lungs this whole time, like a wall of future regret and past anguish made a home in his throat. Thoughts set fire to his mind- he couldn’t stand losing his brothers a second time, let alone by his own hand. Tears threatened their way into the genius’ eyes, whether from lack of air, or the overwhelming feelings creeping in didn’t matter. Something clicked as the salty water began to creep down his face- he was alive.

The breath that came after this realization acted like a fire extinguisher to his burning thoughts.

‘Why wouldn’t it work here?’ a smirk formed on his face as His Brilliance got back to work. ‘It has to, the physics would be the same-mostly-. Calculations can be reworked for any situation. Materials can be bought, made,...or stolen. And replications?’ He looked at his own hands as his legs lowered to the ground.

“I’m my own proof this is gonna work”

Blinking the remaining water from his vision, Donnie looked back up at the light now pouring in from above. He knew, in some heart-string-pulling way, that for the time being, he was going to need to be the strength, razz, and face-man of the Hamato’s until he and Casey could bring his respective brothers back. Don gave a signature “scoff” to himself.

“A man of science being ruled by emotion…how embarrassing. The results are here.” A smile replaced the smirk that had been sitting on his face. A small shiver ran down his back. Guess the light can only give so much heat….

Donnie grabbed his mask and robe earnestly and marched his way to the bathroom. “If I’m gonna be thorough, I’m gonna be thorough, comfortably.” With the door partly closed, warm water began to run in hopes the heat would well replace that of the sun.

Let You Down

my first rise fanfic to be released to the public!! hope you guys like it

cw: minor kidnapping, angst, hurt/comfort

word count: ~2660

Donnie sat in his lab, working away at yet another machine. Raph, however, had other plans.

"Donnie."

"Hm?" Donnie looked over his shoulder.

“Let’s go, bud. We’ve got training to do.”

What? Oh, right. Be there in a minute.”

“Sure Donnie, whatever you say.” One minute passed as Raph waited patiently for Donnie to come out of his lab. Then five minutes. Then fifteen minutes.

“Whenever you’re ready.”

“Yeah yeah, one more minute.” Raph waited one more minute. He sighed.

“You know what? Just… join us when you’re ready. I’m not going to sit here waiting for you any longer. Next time, I’m not going to wait at all.” Donnie turned to face Raph.

“I’m sorry, this is just very important-” He had a different expression on his face.

“You know what else is important? Training. What if something happens to one of us? Or all of us? We need to be prepared. Especially after what happened with the Kraang. We barely all made it out of there alive.” Donnie took a sharp breath as he recalled the events that had occurred not even a year ago. He let it out in a disappointed sigh as he turned back to his machine to finish it up.

“He’s…right. I do need to be prepared.”

Donnie sat on the couch in the main area of the living room, scrolling through his phone. He was bored, waiting for something interesting to happen.

“Oh, Donnie~” That was the wrong kind of interesting.

“Leo, what do you want now?” grumbled as Leo turned the corner.

“Well, it’s not what I want per se…”

“Just get to the point, Leo.” Leo rolled his eyes.

“Man, you’re so boring, but I guess if that’s what you want. Raph told me that we need to do night patrol.” Donnie was now really regretting wishing something interesting would happen.

“Did he say anything else?”

“Nope, just walked into my room and told me to come tell you.” Donnie was quiet for a minute before he spoke again.

“Whatever, I don’t think I have a choice anyway. Meet you at the entrance in five minutes.”

“Come on Donnie, turn that frown upside down! Just look at the beautiful night sky.”

“I would rather look at it without being haunted by the thought that it could be ruined at any moment by responsibilities.” Donnie lamented. While he did quite enjoy the night sky and its stars, both for science and their beauty, his attention had to be focused on other things.

“I suppose. But we can enjoy it for just a moment, can’t we?”

“...I don’t see why not.” They sat in silence, looking at the stars for a moment before Donnie spoke up.

“Well I suppose the time has come. Why don’t we do a little scan of the area?”

“Oh, I wish it would have lasted longer, such beauty is but a-”

“Shut it, Shakespeare, I’m trying to focus here.” Donnie typed something into his tech-gauntlet while Leo looked over the city skyline. However, they both failed to notice the Foot Clan henchmen that had snuck up behind them during their conversation.

“You know, Mikey told me the other day…hm? What?! Hey! Donnie! Help me!” Leo cried for help, but Donnie didn’t understand the severity of the situation.

“Hold on Leo, I think I’ve got something…ah! Here we go, there are some Foot Clan lackeys right over-” Donnie looked around for Leo, who was nowhere to be found. Donnie noticed Leo’s odachi on the ground.

“That’s strange, Leo’s never without his odachi when he’s on duty…” He turned back to his tech-gauntlet to run another scan.

“Leo was just here, but his tracker says…he’s on the other side of town?! And it looks like he’s been captured!” Donnie froze for a second, unsure of what to do, before calling Raph and Mikey.

“Raph! Mikey! Leo’s been captured by the Foot! Meet me outside the lair!”

“Right!”

“Got it!” Donnie hung his head before hurrying off, while saying under his breath,

“Maybe if I would have been paying more attention…”

The three of them hurried off to Leo’s last known location according to Donnie’s tracker. They burst into the abandoned building in which Leo was being held captive. Despite their many numbers, the Foot Clan henchmen were no match for the turtles. They were swiftly disarmed and defeated, and Leo was released.

After everyone had returned to the lair safe and sound, Donnie started to head back to his lab to recover from the eventful night. Before he could get far, a frustrated voice called his name from behind him.

“Hold it right there, Donnie.” Donnie turned to face Leo, who was visibly upset.

“Can you make it quick? I’m kinda tired-”

“No Donnie, you’re going to stay and listen for as long as I am going to talk.” Donnie was more awake now.

“Is something wrong?”

“Uh, yeah! Hello? Earlier tonight? You just let me get captured! That’s not like you.”

“I-I’m sorry, it was a mistake.”

“Just a mistake, huh? That could have been pretty costly. What would have happened if you were a little too late? I could have been GONE”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Donnie’s mind was instantly filled with flashbacks to the invasion. To Leo’s sacrifice. That couldn’t happen. Not again. He couldn’t be gone.

“Look, Donnie, I’m sorry, we’re all tired. Just go get some rest and we can talk about this tomorrow.” Donnie snapped back to reality, trying to keep a straight face.

“Hm? Oh, yeah, okay. Good night Leo.” Donnie trudged back to his lab, all the while thinking to himself [You stupid idiot. It was all your fault. How could you let this happen? You better shape up, or else he might not make it back next time.]

“I-I’m sorry Leo…” He mumbled as a single tear streamed down his face.

“Mikey!”

“Donnie! Get Mikey! I'll cover you!” Mikey had taken a slash across the chest while fighting, and was starting to bleed.

“Hold on, I got this!” Donnie was holding off the enemy, but he couldn't make it to Mikey.

“Leo! Grab Mikey and run, we can't win this fight without him.” Leo nodded and ran over to help Mikey. He quickly removed his bandana and tied it around Mikey to stop the bleeding.

“Donnie!”

“Raph?”

“We need to retreat! Mikey’s been hurt, and we can't fight without him.” Donnie cursed himself yet again as he started to make his way away from the battle.

The scene kept playing over and over again is Donnie’s head as he sat in the med bay, watching over Mikey as he lay unconscious in the bed. All he could think about was how he had let down Mikey. He couldn’t make it in time. The constant self doubt was starting to truly set in. [They're all disappointed in you Donatello. They're starting to not believe in you anymore. All you do is let them down. You're failing them.] The tears rolled down his face as he looked at Mikey again. He tried to speak, to say something to him, but the sobs made it nearly impossible to say anything. Not like he would hear it anyway. But Donnie was taken aback when Mikey coughed himself awake, seeing Donnie in his emotional state.

“Hey, cough what’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s uhm…nothing. You should be resting.” Donnie tried to compose himself, at least until Mikey fell back asleep.

“That’s a lie and cough you know it.”

“I’ll be fine. For now. But right now you need to get back to sleep.”

“Fine, only because I can’t do anything else anyway. But we’re talking about this later.” Donnie smiled.

“Okay, okay. Now, sleep.” Mikey smiled back and closed his eyes.

“Good night, Donnie.”

“Good night.”

Some time later, everyone sat in the main area lounging around, when Mikey appeared from the med bay, looking fully recovered.

“Wow Mikey, looking good!”

“Yeah bud, almost like nothing ever happened.” Mikey gave a big grin.

“Maybe, but I’m still a little stiff from being bedridden for so long. Where’s Donnie?” Mikey looked around.

“Back here, silly.” Donnie raised his hand to signal where he was seated behind Raph and Leo. Mikey ran over and gave him a hug.

“Thanks Mikey. Feeling better now?”

“Mhm. Also, I wanted to say that…I don’t blame you for this. And if you blame yourself, I want you to know that you shouldn’t.” Donnie stopped for a second to process what Mikey had said. It was a bit unprecedented, and certainly unexpected.

“Oh, uhm…thanks.” Mikey got up and started to stretch his sore muscles.

“You know what would do me some good right about now? A good fight.” Before anyone could respond, loud rumbling and many screams could be heard from the surface.

“Right on cue. C’mon guys, we got work to do!”

Upon reaching the surface, the four turtles looked around for the source of the problem. It didn’t take long for them to find it.

“The Purple Dragons? I thought we got rid of those guys.”

“Looks like we thought wrong.” Eventually, the leader of the pack stepped up to speak to them.

“Looks like our little plan worked. Hello everyone, so glad you could make it.”

“Kendra. What do you want this time?”

“Oh, nothing much, just here to make things right.” Kendra turned to Donnie.

“Von Ryan, I’m sure you remember that fateful day in which you stopped me from taking over the world.”

“Like I would ever forget it.”

“Well, that day, you took away something very important to me. So now, it’s my turn to take away the thing most important to you. Boys!” Donnie watched as the two other members of the group disarmed and captured his brothers he tried to fight back but Kendra stopped him before he could get anywhere.

“Now, if you ever want to see them again, come meet us at our headquarters. I’m sure we can work something out. Bye bye now~”

This couldn’t be happening. They were gone. The panic started to set in. Donnie was rarely without at least one of his brothers nearby. And this time they were in danger. This had never happened. He didn’t know what to do. The self doubt had really started to set in now. [They’ll never forgive you for this. It’s a lost cause. You probably couldn’t even rescue them anyway.] By some miracle, April happened to be nearby, also investigating the cause of the discord. She looked around and saw no one but Donnie.

“Hey Donnie, what was that? Donnie?” No response.

“Hello? Donnie? Snap out of it, what happened?” Donnie finally noticed April and immediately broke down.

“April, sob they’re gone and sob I don’t know what to do…” April brought Donnie into a hug, trying to calm him down.

“Hey hey hey, let’s calm down before we jump to any conclusions.” Donnie let himself go into April’s arms for a minute.

“Some deep breaths…okay, now what happened?”

“Well, we were trying to investigate what was happening out here, and then…next thing I knew, the Purple Dragons had taken Leo, Mikey, Raph…then it was all a blur from there.”

“The Purple Dragons? I thought we got rid of them.” Donnie just shrugged.

“Well, we gotta go get them back, right?” Donnie shook his head in response.

“Correction: I gotta go get them back.” April looked at him, confused.

“Alone? Really? I mean, not that I doubt your abilities, but they can be quite dangerous.”

“It’s…personal. And anyway, if I do end up, y’know…losing them…I still need someone around.” April thought for a moment, but eventually decided to let Donnie do it on his own.

“Just…be careful. Please. I don’t want to lose all four of you.” Donnie looked at her and let out a small smile.

“Wish me luck.” April nodded, and Donnie sped off to the headquarters. A short time later, Donnie arrived.

“Well, no time like the present.” Donnie carefully entered the headquarters.

“They don't seem to have much of a security system here.” Donnie said as he calmly strolled into the headquarters. He had to be on his guard though, this wasn't his territory. As he proceeded through the halls, he was unsure of how he was going to find his brothers. He didn't know where they were being held, let alone how to get there and any obstacles he might face along the way. He was thinking about what to do when he heard footsteps coming from down the hallway.

“Boys! Make sure you're watching for that stupid turtle, he's probably already here. I need to make sure he doesn't find the lab.” Now Donnie had something to work with. He quickly hid as he waited for Kendra to pass by, and made his way to the lab.

When Donnie got there, there was no immediate sign of his brothers. While he was disappointed, he figured there was a reason that Kendra didn't want him there. He began to look around for anything that might lead to his brothers. After what seemed like forever, he finally found a keycard, labeled “Chamber 2”.

“Well, it's better than nothing.” Thankfully he had passed a room also labeled “Chamber 2”, so he carefully backtracked until he finally made it. He put the keycard in the slot and…

“DONNIE!” There, in the center of the room, hanging high above the floor, were his brothers.

“Leo! Mikey! Raph! Hold on just a second, I’ll get you guys down from there!” Mikey pointed to the control panel, and Donnie rushed over to try to bring them down.

“Verification required? Hmm…I can probably use something from this keycard to bypass this.” Donnie started working to disassemble the keycard, looking for something that might be useful.

“Ah, here we go. Now I just need to…got it!” Donnie used the control panel to lower his brothers and disable the special cage they were trapped in. Donnie started running over to his brothers with tears in his eyes, when…

“Raph…”

[…You know what? Just… join us when you’re ready…What if something happens to one of us? Or all of us? We need to be prepared…]

[He was disappointed in you.]

“Leo…”

[…What?! Hey! Donnie! Help me!…That could have been pretty costly. What would have happened if you were a little too late?…]

[You weren’t there to save him.]

“Mikey…”

[…Donnie! Get Mikey! I'll cover you!…We need to retreat! Mikey’s been hurt, and we can't fight without him…]

[You couldn’t make it in time.]

The tears turned from joy to sorrow as Donnie looked at each of his brother’s faces, each time recalling what had happened, how he let them down, he thought. Before he could even make it to his brothers, he fell to his knees on the ground.

“Raph, Leo, Mikey…I’m sorry.” They all look confused.

“Sorry for what?”

“I’ve let you all down…I can’t do anything for you guys. You guys can go…I’ll just stay here and deal with the Purple Dragons.”

“Whoa whoa, hermano. Explain yourself.”

“Well, I never go to training when Raph asks me…when you got captured, Leo, I could have been there to save you, but I wasn’t…and Mikey, well, I couldn’t make it to help him in time.”

“Donnie, I told you not to blame yourself for that. And anyway, you came here and saved us! On your own! You may have made some mistakes, but we all know you would never truly let us down.”

“Yeah, I-I wouldn’t…”

“Come here, Donnie.” Donnie walked over to his brothers, where they all gathered around and hugged him.

“We love you no matter what, and we know you love us too.”

“He’s right.”

“You guys mean it?”

“Absolutely.” Donnie looked at his brothers for a second before letting out a smile.

“Haha, thank you guys…now, let’s get out of here before I do anything else stupid.”

Someone asked me this before, so I'll causally steal what that asker asked me a while ago, but- If Mona's parents were alive (which I've heard was your headcannon to what happen to them), what do you think they would think of Raph? (Idk why but I feel like a funeral for Raph would be hosted when they meet him-)

I always imagined her parents to be strong warriors, strict but also loving, they want what is best for their little Y'gythgba, and I think for a time they did not approve of Raph. He's an outworlder from a disgraceful planet that everyone looks down on. Not to mention he's short too, how could this Turtle call himself a warrior. They doubt he would even be able to protect Y'gythgba.

Mona's mother would be polite to Raph, but secretly pray to the stars that Raph is just a phase and soon her daughter would open her eyes and be with a better man.

Mona's father would be very open about his thoughts and feelings towards Raph, always letting him know that he is not good enough for his daughter and he is no warrior. If it weren't for Mona stepping in, her dad would have probably killed Raph.

I can imagine Sal Commander being the one to defend Raph, assuring Mona's parents that there is more to Raph than meets the eye and how he is a honorable warrior, better than any man on their planet and is perfect for Y'gythgba. I think it wouldn't be until Raph finally has a chance to show off his skills, strength and abilities that Mona's parents begin to rethink their opinions of Raphael, realizing they were wrong about him and that he is in fact the perfect mate for their daughter.

Ok I don’t know if you’ve watched arcane or not so kind of spoilers not really? Kind of yeah, this is two souls based off of one of the flare scene. I’ve just been listening to guns for hire for too long and I needed somewhere to put this brainrot.

100% ooc for like everyone and it’s really just because I like angst and I’m so deep in this brainrot that I’ve been thinking about this for at least two weeks. So take my angst fueled headcanon scene.

So when 12!crew is scrambling together to defuse the mutagen bomb Donnie gives them emergency flares to light up in case anyone’s in trouble. Leo ends up giving his flare to Chloe and says, “if you’re in trouble, find a tall place and light this up and you’ll be saved.”

“You’ll come save me?”

And then he just pats her head and returns on course to the mission.

Then Leo dies and stuff. Then like time skip to the new crew(tm). Everything’s the same but Chloe has the flare on her vigilante outfit as homage to Leo.

And everything’s going wrong. Chloe is 100% convinced her friends are dead but they currently think she’s dead and are looking for her. Maybe she thinks they died for her (for some extra angst).

She blames herself for their death and looks at the flare and thinks, “did he know he would die? Did he plan to die? Is it my fault? Did he die for me?!”

And so she lights the flare to get rid of it.

But why didn’t she just throw away the flare? Because she was secretly hoping that someone would come save her. That Leo was secretly alive, that her friends didn’t actually die, that she didn’t have to grieve so much.

The flare runs out and instead, someone else has found her.

And she’s enveloped by something.

- somewhere in another universe, at the same time.

Donnie hands out flares. And Leo is completely silent. The Krang did something to their mystic powers. And he can barely see Aoi. But they need to go through with this plan.

“—and these flares are just in case the panic button doesn’t work. But only use them if your panic button doesn’t work. They’re a last resort.”

And just like that, they all leave.

He can’t hear Aoi. He can’t see him, he can’t feel him. It’s like he vanished.

He feels as the Krang crushes him, and through the crushing, the bashing, the punching and hitting he hears a clink, and then the sound of some sort of gas.

The smoke is a neon green colour.

And Leo looks at it, and all he can think of is…

‘I just want to be saved.’

“It’s ok, little lion. You’re almost home, just follow my voice. You’re almost there.”

And then he’s enveloped by warmth.

Awwwe that's actually sorta cute

I haven't watched arcane at all (lazy ass) but imagine me chomping on this idea.

Let me expand it for the 2012 crew's side since the rise gang has their own little world going on.

It's Donnie that ends up finding Chloe before the flare runs out.

If you could remember, after winning round one of the tmnt au competition i gave out everyone's last words to 12 Leo/Aoi, and Donnie says nothing. He didn't say anything to Leo at all.

So it's closure, in a way, to be able to save Chloe. He was never the initiative guy, he always ends up setting himself aside in order to solve bigger problems that can't be solved with fists. He has never put himself in direct line of fire since he's important. He's the inventor, he's the medic, he's the information gatherer. Their whole ninja operation rotates around his survival.

The only time he dealt with things on his own, head on, he got himself into big trouble and was willing to kill a man, so you can say Raph would not want a big repeat of that, more so without Leo being Donnie's voice of reason.

So when he shows up to save Chloe, all by himself, he allows himself a little reprieve from the ever present guilt.

At least they got to use the flare.

Even though he saved a different blue eyed teenager.

#rottmnt two souls #tmnt 2012 meanwhile #two souls ask #meanwhile ask #the brothers deal with grief in different ways #mikey brushes his own problems by helping others deal with theirs #raph ignores his until it becomes a big problem #and donnie tries his best to fix it #but he can't fix death #so i think it's fitting for him to arrive than any other turtle brother #at least he's able to fix this one thing #even if the person he saved wasn't the one he intended for the flare to be used #donnie can be overlooked a lot #with everyone scrambling to hurt raph and leo and with everyone babying mikey #his pain is silent #and it's beautiful #pain is beautiful

ROTTMNT SEASON 3 IDEAS!!!!!

(These are really messy cause I mostly just copy and pasted from my notes haha)

First of all, the main antagonist.

I think that the main antagonist for season 3 should definitely be the sister Kraang (I’ll be referring to her as Kraang 3 or just Three). Remember, she’s still alive. She’s only being contained. And considering how it only took 3 Kraangs to nearly take over all of New York, I think Three would be able to escape from any earthly containment. She also just has amazing potential to be a main villain. She’s definitely the most psychotic out of the 3 Krangs (Hell, the first thing she wanted to do when she was freed from the prison dimension was kill something) and loves to see people suffer. I could bring up many other times she’s acted like a psychopath but I don’t have time for that lol.

As for her motive, she didn’t seem hellbent on conquering Earth like her brother, she mainly just liked to cause pain. And with her brothers gone I don’t think she’d make it a priority to conquer Earth, at least not quite yet. I think all she wants is revenge. She’d want to torment anyone and everyone who messed up their invasion. And we all know who ruined the invasion…

Another thing is just how horrifying it would be for everyone to know Three is out there and wants revenge. They’ve all already been VERY traumatized by the Kraang and the invasion, and to have to go up against one AGAIN when they thought everything was okay and that they’d gotten rid of the Kraang for good would be insanely traumatizing. Basically I just want more trauma lmao.

I think it would be interesting if Three started becoming more present gradually throughout the season. Sort of like in Thanks To Them, how the entire time there was a build up toward Belos possessing Hunter at the end of the episode. I think it would be interesting if, as the episodes progressed, there would be more hints that Three is back. Maybe an episode about half way through the season it would finally be revealed to the turtles somehow (maybe they find her or it’s on a news report or smth idk)

Anyways moving on from the antagonist I want to see how everyone is doing after the invasion and how they’re each individually dealing with it. I want to see how Casey Jr is doing adapting to a normal life with the younger versions of his family and grieving the ones he knew. I want to see how Raph is handling being possessed and the guilt he more than likely has from hurting his family and helping the Kraang. I want to see how Leo is dealing with the trauma of being in the prison dimension and nearly (accidentally) causing an apocalypse. Obviously, I want to see how Mikey and Donnie are doing after the invasion as well, it would feel wrong if their trauma from the event was ignored, but I just can’t think of anything for them right now. My brain is tired haha.

The turtles’ issues and trauma, even from before the movie, just need to be addressed more. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the writers did a bad job with their struggles. They did great, I just think more time was needed to talk about their issues more in depth. Another thing is that some of the turtles’ issues are talked about more than others. For example, we needed more time to see how Mikey feels like his brothers need to protect him because he’s the youngest and such. This part can mainly be summed up to me thinking we needed more time with each turtle.

Also I just want more of the side characters, man. Characters like Sunita needed much more episodes. I already enjoy the side characters, I just think getting to know them more would make me enjoy them more yk.

WE NEED MORE CASSANDRA. PLEASE. We didn’t get to see much at all of Cass being a good guy, and I’d just really like to see it. I would also LOVE to see her and Casey Jr interact and see what kind of dynamic they’d have.

Splinter’s neglect needs to be addressed more and he really needs to work on it more. I already now that throughout the series he gets better, but he still has so much making up to do. I want to see the turtles be really upset with him. To be hurt by the lack of attention he gave them. Raph in particular was arguably affected the worst by Splinter’s neglect (since he’s the oldest) and I’d love to see Raph talk to him about that.

Now, the most important part. WE NEED USAGI. We need rottmnt Leosagi I’m dying on this hill. Now that might just be me hoping since when it comes to gay relationships Nickelodeon usually doesn’t go farther than gay parents but hey, if The Owl House could do it, I’m sure if Rottmnt really tried they could too.

Anyways that’s all lmao thanks for reading all of this :] feel free to tell me your thoughts about it!

#I didn’t mean for it to be this long oops #idk how to tag this i already said a bunch of stuff #rottmnt #save rottmnt #tmnt
