Broken Shell (Angst/Fluff-ish ending)

BVT!Raphael x reader

A/N: Time for some for more of the BVT bois😈😂❤️

Warnings: Broken shell, mentioning of blood, emotional distress, emotional outbursts, anger outbursts.

The city was a blur of noise and chaos, but for Raphael, the world had narrowed down to pain and darkness. The battle against Shredder and Ra’s al Ghul had left him grievously injured. His brothers had managed to get him back to the lair, but the damage was done. His shell was cracked, his arm mangled, and blood seeped from numerous wounds.

You, a close friend of the turtles, and an especially close friend of Raphael, had immediately taken on the role of caretaker. You had minor medical training, all thanks to Donatello. Thank god that the turtles had thought it important for you to learn a little, because otherwise there was no saying what would have happened to Raph. With Donatello’s help, you did your best to patch Raphael up. But it was a grueling process. At one point Donnie had to tell you to go take a break, due to your shaking hands, letting Batman, Batgirl and Alfred take over for you. Mikey and Leo ended up having to take you out of the Batcave and have you sit down in the kitchen of Wayne Manor, where Robin poured you a glass of water. You were shaking, on the verge of tears. And sadly, you knew that the troubles would be far from over after that one night.

—

The first night after the patch up was the hardest. Raphael's usually fierce eyes were dulled by pain and medication, unable to fully focus on anything around him. You sat by his side, holding his hand, whispering words of comfort that felt hollow even to your own ears. You could see the frustration in his face, the anger at his own helplessness. Raph hated being stuck in bed like this. And when he was in that mood, it could be hard, even for you to have a dissent conversation with him, without him getting at least a little passive aggressive.

"It's going to be okay, Raph", you said softly, brushing over his knuckles with your thumb in a calming manner, hoping it would work.

"Yeah, right", Raphael muttered, his voice thick with pain and fatigue, still not focusing on anything in the room. "Just peachy".

—

By the third day, Raphael’s frustration had turned into anger. You were doing everything you could to make him comfortable, but Raphael's pride was wounded as deeply as his body. He hated being weak, and he hated needing help. Even if it was from you, a person he cared for and trusted. It was just not something in Raph’s to feel comfortable with, or even feel deserving of.

"Stop hovering", he snapped at you, as you tried to adjust his bandages. "I’m not a baby".

"I don’t think you’re a baby. I’m just trying to help, Raph," you replied gently, trying to hide your hurt.

"Well, I don't need your help!", he yelled, his voice cracking. "I don't need anyone's help!"

The words cut deep, and you felt tears sting their eyes. You knew Raphael didn’t mean it, knew he was just lashing out because he was in pain and his current self loathing. But it still hurt. Not just because of his words, but because it was Raphael, the guy you cared so much about…

—

A week into Raphael's recovery, the tension reached its breaking point. You had been running themselves ragged, barely sleeping, constantly worrying about Raphael. You were exhausted, both physically and emotionally. It was at the point where everybody could see it. One thing was to have Raph’s brothers come and ask you if you needed a break, but to have Batman put a hand on your shoulder, telling you that you had to focus on yourself before you decided to help Raph, was something you did not expect. Nevertheless you stuck around Raph, intending to help him, even if his short temper got the best of him.

"Raph, you need to eat", you said, holding out a bowl of soup.

"I'm not hungry", Raphael growled, his eyes not even looking at you, his face emotionless.

"You have to keep your strength up”, you insisted.

"I said, I'm not hungry!" He slapped the bowl away, sending it crashing to the floor with a loud crash, the soup now all over the kitchen floor. Everybody stared in silence, shocked by Raph’s outburst. And outburst against you. That had never happened before. "Why can't you just leave me alone?!"

You stared at the mess, feeling your patience snap. Raph’s brothers had several times told you that you were a little like Raph, and now as you finally felt your temper break over, you understood why. "Because I care about you, you idiot! Because I can't stand seeing you like this and not do anything to help!"

Raphael looked at you, and for a moment, the anger in his eyes flickered into something else - something vulnerable. But it was gone as quickly as it came, replaced by his usual scowl.

"Fine. Do whatever you want", he muttered, turning his gaze away from you, not caring who in the kitchen were looking at the two of you.

You once again felt tears welling up again, but you refused to let them fall. Instead you stood up from the chair, making sure it made as much noise as possible as it scooted back from you. You made a big deal out of staring at Raph as you got a towel, doing just like Raph had done, ignoring everybody else in the room and their nervous stares. You cleaned up the mess in silence, their heart aching with every second that passed. Yet you stared at Raph, catching him throwing glances at you every once in a while. He felt bad. But Raph being Raph, he wasn’t going to say it.

—

Three days after the kitchen incident, Raphael finally reached a breaking point of his own. You found him in his room, staring at the ceiling, his face drawn with pain and regret.

"Hey", you said softly, sitting down next to him, keeping the distance you had kept to him, ever since he yelled at you.

"Hey", he replied, not meeting your eyes.

There was a long silence, and then Raphael spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry".

You blinked, not sure you had heard him correctly. "What?"

"I'm sorry", he repeated, louder this time. "For everything. For yelling at you. For pushing you away. I just... I hate feeling like this. I hate feeling weak".

Your heart softened, reaching out to take his hand, just like you had done so many times before what happened in the kitchen. "Raph, you're not weak. You're one of the strongest people I know. But it's okay to need help sometimes. It's okay to be vulnerable".

Raphael looked at you, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I don’t deserve you", he said hoarsely.

You squeezed his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. "Yes, you do. We’re in this together, Raph. No matter what".

—

As the days went by, things slowly began to improve. Raphael's physical wounds started to heal, and so did the emotional rift between him and you. You spent long hours talking, sharing both of your fears and hopes, and rebuilding the trust that had been strained.

One evening, as the two of you sat together watching a movie in Bruce Wayne's large living room, Raph suddenly turned to you with shining eyes and said, "I don't know what I would’ve done without you".

You smiled back at him, feeling a warmth spread through your chest. "You don’t have to find out. I’m not going anywhere".

This made Raph smile back at you before turning back towards the television. “I hope you’re right”.

—

A month after the battle, Raphael was able to move around more easily, though he still had a long way to go. You stayed by his side every step of the way, your bond stronger than ever.

One night, as you sat on the balcony of Wayne Manor, looking out over the city, Raph suddenly took your hand in his.

"Thank you", he said softly, maintaining a strong eye contact with you. "For everything".

You smiled and leaned your head against his shoulder, sighing and feeling a sense of peace.

"Always, Raph. Always", you said, letting your eyes fall upon the city beyond the trees once again. At that point you knew that when you, Raph and the others returned back home to New York, you and Raph would have many things and feelings to discuss together.

my soft spot is literally just… it’s red guys. Without fail it’s the character with a red motif. If they have anger management issues that’s just even better

Big Brain idea: Rottmnt x batfam crossover

(Big thanks to @clanofjones for letting me bounce ideas off them 🥰)

[umbreoncomplex]

all iterations of raphael are lesbian to me. all of them. from mirage to mutant mayhem he's a lesbian throughout it all. none of her relationships with women have been straight. none. he was a lesbian for mona lisa and she was a lesbian for alopex and yep even in archie comics he was lesbian for mezcaal and ninjara. sometimes shes butch sometimes shes femme but raph is always a lesbian and always has been. nothing will prove to me otherwise. raph x casey? well, easy answer there. casey can be transfem or a butch or even a transmasc lesbian. don't even try me. the red of the mask is for the lesbian flag

If Raph has a million fans I am one of them. If Raph has ten fans I am one of them. If Raph has only one fan than that is me. If Raph has no fans, I am no longer on this earth. If the world is against Raph, I am against the world.

part 1 

did I have to cut it there? yes. why? because I’m p-e-t-t-y, I’m petty all the time  ♪ ♫ 

but also, the image cap boo

the tags cannot contain my full power some of my really good tags got eaten by the tag limit and they’re grudges I keep in a little pile in my heart

did this silly little fan comic get away from me? ...YES

was I gonna originally stop it there? also yes but you know... I love being snide and petty but after catching covid like a week ago I’m not gonna bring any bad juju with me into next year if I can help it

I forgot how fucking neon the coloring got for awhile in the archie comics

im cryin g this was supposed to be a short’n sentimental’n sweet comic and now look at me, i played myself

look, Venus has waited a quarter of a century, she earned this

i think... what tickles me most about Venus after coming back to TMNT fandom via Rise, is that from what I can see (on tumblr), the kids love her. they love her and make versions of her in the series that came after the 90s. i look at their bios, some weren’t even born when Next Mutation was airing. (and as far as I can tell, Next Mutation didn’t really get much syndicated airtime if any) ...and they still love her. hurt me in my old little heartguts. it’s mostly my generation of tmnt fans who express distaste for her... but the new fans, they love her, they include her in their aus, they make a place for her in their childhood series. hoo h oo giv give me a moment..

if I could pop back into 1998 and tell little 13 year old snackugaki that Venus would be back, I would. all I had were Trini Kwan and Venus de Milo (not ONLY them, just for the purpose of this post) as a fighty, angry little girl. 

all my childhood idols who could fight were calm, level-headed characters who could just happen to throw a villain through a wall if they really needed to. if it wasn’t for them who knows where baby snacku fite meh! gaki would be today. going up against Rhonda Rousey for the championship belt idk, who can accurately estimate the magnitude of childhood influences, not this bitch

if you’re also in PST and wondering why I typed up this post at goddamn 3am then we’re both insomniacs, you didn’t see me, stop snitching

EDIT: I KNEW IT, SOME OF THE TAGS GOT EATEN! HATEFUL! HATEFUL TUMBLR LIMITATIONS! ahhhhh it’s whatevs
