don wasn't exactly happy about this arrangement either, but it was either this, or she lives on the streets. damn his bleeding heart.

a few minutes later

Kendra's terms of getting out of jail were to work for EPF and to not leave a designated homestead. Donnie's apartment becomes her place since she has nowhere else to go, and she has to wear an anklet ofc. Donnie fixes the anklet so she can leave, but he's still scared of her getting caught whenever she leaves.

Had an idea that Donnie went to bed without his tech and woke up to an empty apartment and news on the tv of a suspected attack on Nakamura. He worries Kendra went there and was in danger. He tries calling her, no answer. he fears the worst, and spirals into a panic. Turns out, the "attack" was a gas leak and no one was in the building when it went off. But it didn't really matter. After Leo's death, Don's prone to panic, especially when he feels out of control of a situation.

What is Alopex’s relationship with the rest of the turtles like I love how Cute Mikey looks when you draw him

Haha I drew it once long ago, but art is so bad lol

Basically she and Leo do not get a long at all, he only tolerates her bc Raph loves her. She gets along very well with Mikey and Donnie though!

Tell me a bit more about your Alopex please

Ah, Alopex is not a part of the Gooseyleo AU (maybe I could do a cameo sometime!) but I shall share! buckle up boys, I got a lot to cover!

She was purchased from a fur farm as a kit, was taken to New York to her new owner, and was mutated when the oozquitoes were first released. She fled the only home she really knew, cuz yk, they didn't jive with the whole "house pet being a senient mutant all of a sudden" thing, and winds up in the Hidden City. There she falls in with the downtrodden/rougher side of life there, with only her wits to keep her alive. She is eventually taken in by Bruce, and becomes a member of the Masters of Barbarianism. Bruce raises her alongside his birthson Kai. They hate each other. Or rather, Kai hates her for taking Bruce's attention from him. ANYWAY, that's a bit of a can of worms to get into here, but here is Kai in all his angsty glory.

When she gets older, she decides she wants to strike out on her own (Gang life is surprisingly rigid) and Bruce allows her until it is his time to step down as leader. So she starts bounty hunting to support herself. Bounty hunters are a regulated service in the Hidden City, but there is also illegal bounty hunting. Alopex does both. Which is how she ends up kidnapping Leo.

Basically, the octopus dude from Bad Hair Day becomes a serious gang leader, evil hair and all, and he wants revenge on Leo for getting him arrested (and maybe some other stuff down the line happens lol). So Alopex takes the job, and completes it flawlessly. She's off to tuck away the extra cash when a very pissed off Raph stops her on the street and demands that she return his brother. Turns out, Raph is the Hidden City's newly appointed sheriff, and it would put Alopex out of legit work for good if the Council of Heads found out that she was illegally bounty hunting for crimelords. So with that leverage, she agrees to help Raph get Leo back.

Their banter is nonstop. Alopex proposes that sometimes the law is unjust and not all criminals are bad people, just people the messed up Hidden City system failed. She also recognizes that some people are genuinely bad, but they too "have to be" to survive. Raph is a bit goody two-shoes about it, citing his own rough homelife and how it led him to want to do right for others. Alopex admires his dedication to justice, but thinks him ultimately naive of what the Hidden City is really like and how it works. etc etc Growing up with the Masters taught her the definition of "right" tends to change in favor of whoever has the upper hand.

ANYWHO they sneak in and get Leo back, but are ultimately caught. Turns out, octopus man doesn't like Alopex reneging on their deal, and after a short discussion, orders to have her thrown from the several stories tall building.

Raph catches her. He catches her attention too. With Leo's reluctant help, they all escape and return home safe and sound. Alopex is bewildered by the caring family Raph returns to. Despite her charistmatic and foxy personality, she didn't really grow up in a loving home like Raph. Complicated and difficult, but loving nonetheless.

Very long story short, she returns to bounty hunting and Raph resumes his work. Raph continues partnering with her as sheriff from time to time. They naturally grow closer, much to Leo's frustration, have a mutual attraction, and ya know

love and stuff happens :3

[gooeseyleo]

well, maybe a little sads

he never does say it back, even if he wanted to at some points, his self hatred outweighed his love, and it was hard for Leo to believe that Dale wouldn't just move on someday. Dale recognizes this state of mind, and showers Leo with love as much as he can anyway.

no sads, only hugs

[gooeseyleo]
