How they react to you getting hurt 🥲 | IB headcanon
Link to my IB masterlist
Requested 📨 yes/no
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Content warnings: injury, blood, war, profanity, light angst.
Being part of the Basterds & getting injured would look like:
Getting injured was not something you planned, but in war it is bound to happen eventually. It could happen when y’all were ambushed, on recon, or something simple as moving place to place.
Whether it be a small graze, a split lip, or a possible fatal wound the Basterds are losing their mind. It would be utter chaos in the tent with Wicki having to kick them all out, besides Alsdo, so he could work with a clear mind. If it was a small injury that could be fixed with some bandages and alcohol then he’d be like “you lot are so dramatic. Just calm down they’re going to be fine.” But if it was serious then the last thing the man needed was panic around him, “if you all can’t shut the fuck up then get out! I need to concentrate before they bleed out!” Wicki cared deeply for you and felt responsible. He’d be dammed if you died on his watch.
Aldo would remain calm but internally was on high alert. You were one if the best Basterds and quite literally the glue that kept them together. In a shitshow of a world you still managed to smile, brining a level of hope and optimism to the squad. Seeing you in pain pulled at his heartstrings. Best believe he would stop at nothing to avenge you if worst comes to worst.
Donny would be in the same boat as Aldo, but would be more visibly anxious and pacing back and forth until he got an update. Like Aldo he’d set the world on fire to avenge you if you died. Donny is the bastard who’d try to make you laugh when you’re recovering which would only make the pain worse. “Oh sorry, I forgot you’re hurting there.”
Hugo is scary. Bottom line he is not talking, he is barely moving. It would not be until he knew you’d be okay that he would visibly relax. If the person who hurt you was still breathing Hugo would be silently plotting. The bastard would be the type to sneak out of camp and track the person himself. God forbid you died because you were the one thing keeping him grounded (platonically) so if he lost you….well pray for those who come in his way.
The younger basterds are losing their minds. Scared shirtless the only thing their minds go to is the worst. Smitty is holding back tears, Omar is biting his nails. They’d be camping outside the tent to hear what was going on and would fall on their asses when Aldo or Wicki were to suddenly come out. “Are they gonna be okay!?” They shout simultaneously, anxious at the sight of blood on Wicki. When the older man lit a cigarette and mumbled, “They’re gonna be fine. They just need to rest,” they all dropped to the floor in relief.
It would pain the basterds to have to send you home if the injury you sustained put you out of the line of duty. This wold be if you lost a limb or were in need of more medical attention than they could offer, such as losing your sight or part of your hearing. Aldo would be the one to escort you to allied territory to hand you over, the ride solemn and silent. “I’m sorry, boss,” you softly said., “I’m sorry I let you down.” “Kid, you’re alive. That’s all that matters and don’t you fuckin’ forget it. I’d rather be takin’ ya back breathin’ than in a casket.”
If your injury was not fatal and a quick fix, expect a small lecture from Aldo. He wouldn’t be upset with you per say, but just angry that it happened. Again, you are someone he cares about. All the Basterds do. So when shit like that happens it scares them and never did they wanna deal with having to bury someone they cared about. He would, however, scold you if the reason you got hurt was because you did something stupid or went against his orders. “L/n, I will warn you this one time. You pull that shit again and I’ll have your ass on the next truck back to base. Understood?”
At the end of the day the boys are just happy you’re okay. It was a close call but thankfully you survived and Wicki was the one with the brains to help you recover. They may have shit their pants and nearly went into cardiac arrest, but the basterds wouldn’t be losing their sunshine anytime soon.

Raphael (bayverse) x gn!crush!reader
Part 2 of the one-bed trope 😈
I realized it was a fem!reader at first cause Raphael saying baby girl makes my brain go brrrr 🥴 but I changed it to be more inclusive for my bbs out there who don't get as much rep cause most of it is fem!reader
This is not proofread so I’m sorry for any mistakes my friends
Tiny bit of angst and then mostly fluff
Tumblr media
Description: Due to the Foot clan knowing your whereabouts, you’re staying in the turtles’ lair and your favorite turtle suggested you sleep in their bed.
You were being carried into the lair by Raph with you going in and out of consciousness. This was not how he expected his night to go. Hearing that the Foot had you nearly threw him into a pit of blind rage. He ran out as soon as Donnie got your location. Obviously, everyone else was in tow and by the time they got to you, Raph thought he was done seeing red, but then he saw the bruises on you. “Raph,” you whimpered as his hands cupped your face, “I didn’t tell them. I didn’t tell them where you were or anything, I-I promise. I didn’t. I didn’t. ” You couldn’t help the tears falling down your face, you were just happy to see Raph. “Shh shh shh, I know you didn’t, baby, I know. I know,” he said softly and quickly got the ropes confining you to the chair and he quickly cradled you in his arms. His brothers already cleared the way out and you were brought back to the lair in haste.
“Donnie. Donnie, where do I put them?!” Donnie guided Raph into his lab where he cleared a table to check all your vitals and make sure there weren’t broken bones or internal bleeding. Raphael stayed next to Donnie waiting for your eyes to open again.After a while, Donnie said everything was clear and you just needed some rest at this point. “I’ll give them my bed. I barely use it-” “No. They can use my bed. I need to make sure they’re ok.” Raph interrupted Donnie. Donnie just nodded his head, “I’ll come by and check on them in an hour or so. I’ll give them more medicine if they need it. Try to get some rest, Raph. They’ll be ok.” Raph nodded his head softly as he couldn’t keep his eyes off of you. As soon as the door closed, he slowly walked over to you.
He rubbed his hand over your hair and leaned his forehead against yours. “I swear you raise my blood pressure like no one else shorty.” He huffed out a small laugh from his nose. Raising his head, he looks over the bruises on your jaw and your black eye. He brushes his finger against your cheek, “I love you so much (N/N). When you wake up, I’ll make sure ya hear it straight fro’ me.”
He backed up against the wall next to the bed and slid down, propping up his knees and resting his arms against them. He looks at the wall in front of him and closes his eyes for a few minutes. He opens his eyes and looks to his right and notices your hand hanging over the bed and he softly grabs your warm hand and rubs his thumb over your knuckles. He thinks for a moment and leans forward to leave a small kiss to the back of your hand. 
Moments after you grip his hand, and groan out a small “Raphael.” He was up in an instant and leaning in close to you. “(Y/N), god ya have no idea how happy I am to see yer beautiful eyes right now.” You grab his hand and smile softly as you guide it to cup your face. “Is this your bed?” you ask him. He nodded his head with slight confusion. “Then why are you not in it?” you said rub the outside of the hand on your cheek. He huffed a small laugh, “I ain’t want to make ya uncomfortable, baby.” You smiled a little more and gave a kiss to his hand. “You could never make me uncomfortable, Raphie. Come on. Lay down with me. Please.” Raph got up and laid down next to you. Quite stiffly you might add.
You turned around to face him. Why is he so stiff? You grabbed his arm and put it around your waist as you gingerly scooted closer to him. You snuggled yourself into his chest and placed a small kiss at the base of his neck. He gulped and felt himself warm up at the feeling. You looked up from your spot and met his eyes. “Thank you for getting me Raphael… I… I was so scared I’d never get to see you again. Never get to tell you how much I love you.” The breath he was holding escaped him in a small sigh. He looked down at your lips then back to your eyes. In the smallest voice he didn’t exactly think would come out of him, he said “I love ya more than anythin’ (N/N). Ain’t no one gonna hurt you like that again, angel.” You felt the tears burn your eyes. It was such an emotionally long day for you and you leaned in just enough to brush your lips against his and then pressed a firmer one against the corner of his lips. He wraps his arm tighter around you and pulls you into his chest. He smiles against your head as he pressed a kiss into your hair. 
He knows now that this isn’t going to be just his room anymore. He couldn’t wait to see what you’ll add to his life as his s/o from now on.
Lmk what yall think!!
Requests are open!!

“My loneliness engulfed me and my fear held me in shackles”
I continued to hold her hand until Donnie came. If anyone could help her it would be him. I checked for her breathing far too many times, making sure she was still alive.
Her body was shaking uncontrollably. She was hot and breaking a sweat. My hand slipped from under her to feel her head and she firmly grabbed my wrist.
I thought she was unconscious. Her eyes were too swollen to tell.
”Wh— ishhur nmm” she mumbled. Her hand shook around my wrist. She was so terrified that she tried to keep herself conscious enough for me to stay and lucky for me, her eyes were too swollen to see me.
I held her arm back. My hand propped under her neck to assure her there was someone there.
Talk to her Raph! You have to keep her talking.
”What did ya say?” I asked. She huffed hard. Breathing hurt her and she had blood dripping out of her mouth.
“Name.” She said barely opening her mouth. 
I was taken back. I knew she definitely couldn’t see me now.
”Raphael.” I answered finding my self getting more and more anxious at how much time she had left. I could be the last person… well creature she talks to. “As long as I’m here you’re safe. I promise.” I tried to comfort her.
She took another deep breath and became limp once again. My heart beat so fucking fast. 
A loud thump from the roof shook behind me.
Thank fucking God.
”Raph I’m here!” Donnie exclaimed and April hopped off his back. When April saw who it was her face turned into complete panic.
”Nooo!!” She ran faster than the speed of light.
”You know her?!” I asked now feeling a thousand times more guilt than I ever felt.
”I was just with her an hour ago… I don’t understand, how did this happen?!” Her face dropped.
Donnie ran to her side instantly checking her vitals.
”Foot clan members. The ones Leo told me to follow. I seen the one douche chase her out of that apartment.” I pointed. Her face went from upset to furious.
”Levi…he’s her boyfriend. Him and his friends at the college we go to I’ve been watching for days, I had suspicions they were clan members, that’s why I became friends with her, to get a lead. It turns out she’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Her boyfriends an asshole.” She explained. My heart fell for this girl. I looked over at Donnie anxious to know her condition.
”Damn it!” Donnie rarely swears. My heart raced faster than ever.
“What is it Donnie?!” I said a little too rough.
”I think she’s bleeding internally. Her temperature is spiking fast. She needs a blood transfusion and fluids immediately. She needs a hospital I can’t do anything without an ultrasound and my equipment.” He stuttered frantically.
“Will she make it to a hospital?” April asked now crouching down to her friend.
“You’ll have to get her there now!” Donnie said as he was watching his watch. April aggressively called an ambulance.
“Hello?! I need an ambulance here stat!” April yelled into the phone.
——————————————————
Eve’s POV
Its been a few days since my attack. I was slowly but surly healing. No fractured bones. Just a lot of bruising and a mild concussion. April was by my side every moment. She went as far as contacting the school for me. As for my parents I made it apparent to her not to tell them. They would pressure me to go home if they knew.
I was getting close to being discharged from the hospital. Today my social worker and the police were here for me to give a full report on Levi. This was something I thought I’d never have to do. Part of me was relieved that I could finally continue living freely, but a shameful other part of me was feeling heartbroken that I would never see Levi again. I did love him. At one point… the connection to your abuser is something a lot of people don’t talk about.
He was the only person I had left.
Another part of me was nervous how things would be at school. Would his friends try to hurt me? How would my classmates treat me? I could hear it now. “Eve fakes assault to put Levi in jail.” I already knew those rumors would start.
My stomach twisted in so many knots. My loneliness engulfed me and my fear held me in shackles. 
“Whenever you’re ready, I’d like you to tell me what happened.” The social worker said. Her eyes painted on me ready to engorge my testimony.
I felt a lump in my throat trying to remember the very little I did know. April held my hand and nodded me to continue.
”Umm well I was coming home from the coffee shop around 8pm. I didn’t answer his text right away so he got angry and waited for me at the door. He wouldn’t let me in my apartment and got aggressive with me.” My voice started to shake remembering his hands around my throat. 
“What happened then?” She urged. My breathing became rapid now confessing of the things I would usually lie about. I knew the plain truth, but saying it was hard. I had become so accustomed to lying that the truth felt vile.
”He strangled me…” I whispered. My fingers trailed to my neck that was heavily bruised. I remembered the scent of his breath…
A tear poured over my cheek. I felt too numb to even wipe it away. I let my tear loosely hang at the bottom of my chin. My eyes zoned away as I dissociated.
”What happened after that?” She asked again. I zapped out of my darkened state and looked up at April again.
“I managed to get away. I spat in his eye and ran as fast as I could. I tried to call 911, but I fell. That’s when him and all of his friends hurt me. I don’t remember much after that.” I looked at April again knowing she was the one who rescued me.
”What happened again April?” I looked at her with honest eyes. She gulped and smiled to try and lighten up the atmosphere.
”I had forgotten that I asked her to hold onto my keys for me.” April continued for me. “As I walked back I saw her running from him. I tried to get there as fast as I could, but I was too late.”
”Wait.” The social worker took her glasses off and sat up a little more in her chair. “So you mean to tell me that you single handedly fought off 5 grown men by yourself?” She said disbelieving.
Aprils mouth slightly gaped. Her offense clearly spread through her face.
”Yes mam I did. I study mixed martial arts, and for the record I’m pretty damn good at it.” She sassed.
”Shes telling the truth.” I jumped in. The social worker averted her eyes back to her binder of all of my pictures and information. 
“Eve I need to to tell me every name you know that was there.” She said.
”Well there was Levi, his best friend Michael Stewart. I think I saw Malik Worthington and I don’t know what he looks like but I heard the name… Raphael I think and D-Don? Donnie?.” I said scratching my head.
April looked at me faster than ever. Eyes shocked as hell. I didn’t understand why…
”Well Eve I think I have everything I need. We’ll get that PFA filed and with my team I’ll make it sure that he never touches you again.” She said standing up.
”Wha- what about school?” I said nervously before she quickly tried existing. She turned around.
”I’ve already contacted the school officials. Him and everyone who was involved are about to be expelled.” My heart sung and sunk at the same time. I would never hear the end of this at school.
The next day I was discharged. April insisted on staying with me for a few days. This girl was probably the most giving person I’ve ever met. She barely knew me. No matter how much I tried convince her I was okay, I saw the guilt behind her eyes. 
We’ve become so close within the past couple days. It honestly felt so good to have someone genuine by my side. The school administrator said I didn’t have to go back until next week so after school April would come straight to my apartment. 
We found that we both REALLY loved watching the bachelor. The new episode aired tonight and we prepped all day for it. Plenty of assortments of wine and snacks along with some candles, fuzzy blankets and some cozy pajamas. It was the perfect way to spend the a rainy afternoon.
As the episode ended and we finally simmered down from all the drama we just watched. I was excited to show her what I’ve been working on for my current events project.
”Youre suppose to be relaxing.” She implied as I shuffled through my papers.
”Yeah, but I really think you’ll find this story cool!” I said. I handed her a folder of all of my research.
“Ancient Japanese operations featuring the Big Apple.” She said uneasy. I rolled my eyes.
”Yeah it needs a better title I know. But look at how interesting this is!” I flipped the page for her. “See? A lot of Japanese Americans in the city are reporting that a lot of crime in the city is coming from a secret clan of ninjas. I thought it was bogus at first until I looked at a lot of the evidence. See this? Remember that robbery that was all over the news a couple weeks ago? Look at the symbol they left behind.” I pointed.
Her eyes looked uneasy.
”And look here, I took these right outside of our campus.” I pointed again. April remained silent and I couldn’t help but notice the sudden shake in her hand.
I had a lot of time on my hands since I was lounging around all day. My research was impressive in my eyes, but the more that I showed her of this “Foot clan” the more silent and resentful Aprils energy was.
”So. What do you think?” I looked at her with hopeful eyes.
“Well.” April cleared her throat as she adjusted herself in the couch. She was oddly comfortable. “It sounds interesting, but isn’t this project suppose to be interactive?” She asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. “Well that’s where I was hoping to ask for your help.”
April raised an eyebrow.
”I was wondering if you were willing, to maybe let me interview your friends and ask them a few cultural questions.”
“My friends?” She but her lip nervously.
”Yeah… you said they were Japanese right?” I hesitated slightly. April scrunched her face and shook her head. Something was off with her and I had no idea why.
”Oh yes. Those friends.” She nodded. “I don’t know how to say this, but they’re not really… people-ly.” Her lips became tense.
”People-ly?” I repeated.
“Yeahhhhh.” She chuckled. “They don’t really do well with people.” She seemed like she was sugar coating everything. I started to gather that she didn’t really want me to meet her friends. I knew her intentions were pure, but I couldn’t help but feel a little left out. Maybe I wasn’t cool enough for her cool Japanese friends that teach her martial arts.
I decided to keep my follow up question to myself then. Since I was pretty much a coward and knew nothing about self defense, I was going to ask if her friends could teach me a few things.
I threw that idea out the window quick.
”It’s okay. I understand.” I said trying not to look hurt about it. “It just means I’ll have to interview some of the kids at school. Talking to new people is not something I’m good at, but I need the practice.” I said. 
April smiled and switched her focus to the TV. 
“Well it’s still raining, you know what movies go perfect with rain?” She said.
”What?” I asked pulling up my blanket.
”Twilight.”
THANK YOU FOR READING! IF YOU ENJOY, LIKE, COMMENT AND FOLLOW. IT LETS ME MNOW TO WRITE MORE!
“Please, please
Don't leave me be
It's not true
Take me to the roof
Told you not to worry
What do you want from me?
Don't ask questions
Wait a minute
Don't you know I'm no good for you?
Baby, I don't feel so good
And all the good girls go to hell
Bite my tongue, bide my time
What is it about them?
I’m the bad guy”

Sibling Saga (part 1/5)
Tumblr media
@tmntbestsibscompetiton
Raph and Milo have my favorite sibling dynamic because they're both the eldest of the bunch and feel a responsibility to protect their brothers. Milo feels it strongest as the elder sister (and the oracle), but Raph still has that protective brother inclination he has in the canon. It's a bit reduced though since he doesn't have the pressure of being the oldest and biggest, and being the team leader. With Milo in the picture, Raph is just the biggest.
For Raph, Milo is like...his personal hero. She's strong and kind and always gives it her all to protect them, and Raph wants more than anything to protect Milo back in turn. This is the moment in their childhood that really solidified that for him.
For Milo, Raph is the brother she has the closest bond with. He's her little shadow and someone she trusts to protect their family should she be absent. She adores his bold spirit and how he's unafraid to express his interests and joys. She's also the only one in the family to show any interest in wrestling, so Milo and Raph frequently watch together. Unlike Raph, Milo doesn't have a favorite wrestler as she just enjoys watching the performances and cheering alongside her biggest little brother.
(also, I believe in field-medic!Raph supremacy. He takes the relatively minor/everyday injuries while Leo takes the more in-depth surgical knowledge. If you've got a bad scrape or burn or flesh wound, you go to Raph. If you've got broken bones and potential internal bleeding, you go to Leo)
[fic below cut]
“And stay gone!” Milo shouts, waving her bokken threateningly as the dog runs back down the alley from whence it came.
Her breath comes out in ragged huffs and her left arm stings painfully, but at least the threat is gone.
Exhaling heavily, Milo puts the bokken on her back again and turns back to her brothers. Raph is curled protectively around Mikey, Leo, and Donnie, his spiky shell facing outwards defensively but a noticeable tremble in his shoulders.
“Everyone okay?” She asks, crouching down to them.
Mikey pops out of his shell and nods. “I’m okay.”
Donnie mumbles something Milo can’t quite catch.
"Donnie and I are okay too,” Leo says.
Milo nods. “And you, Raph? You were really taking the brunt of that,” she says, eyeing the sluggishly oozing scratches and the scuffed sections of his shell and shoulders, and a couple of scrapes on his legs from when he hit the ground.
He turns to look her in the eye, about to answer her when his eyes abruptly focus on Milo’s arm. “You’re hurt!”
Glancing down, Milo finds that the aching wound on her arm is a lot more visually distressing than she thought. At some point, the dog had lunged for her face and Milo put her arm up in a rising block to defend. Instead of sinking its sharp teeth into her face, it sunk them into Milo’s forearm. She didn’t think much of it at the time. It hurt, sure, but she could still fight and the threat was still present. So she kept going.
She hadn’t realized it was so deep until now as she watches the blood dribble down her arm, off her fingertips and splatter on the pavement of the alley.
“Oh. It’s okay, Raph. It’s just a scratch,” she says, trying—and clearly failing if her brothers’ expressions are any indication—to hide her profusely bleeding arm.
Raph pivots fully to face her, releasing their other brothers, who are circling, clearly torn between wanting to help and wanting to vomit—mostly the latter in Donnie’s case—though Mikey is visibly on the verge of tears.
Milo hisses a little in pain as Raph pulls her arm out between them to inspect her injury. Her heart breaks a little at the sad whine that comes from her little brother as he gets a clearer look at the damage.
The distant noise of the human city suddenly becomes less distant and Milo is starkly aware of how exposed she and her brothers are.
“Come on. Let’s go!” She hisses, abruptly herding her brothers towards the manhole.
Milo doesn’t relax until all five of them are safely sequestered in the cool dampness of the sewers and out of sight. Leo wastes no time climbing up onto Milo’s back and Donnie onto Raph’s shell with Mikey—the latter a little grumpy about being beat by Leo to his favorite spot, that being Milo’s back.
With the looming danger gone, Milo lets herself relax. However, Raph immediately starts pulling Milo along—thankfully by her uninjured arm.
“Whoa! Raph!” Milo exclaims in surprise.
“We gotta bandage your arm before it gets infected,” Raph stats firmly.
From his perch on Raph’s shell, Donnie nods. “No repeats of The Incident, dear sister,” he declares.
Milo grimaces, thinking of the ugly, puckered scar on her left thigh and the miserable sickness that followed the injury that caused it. Her brothers hadn’t left her side for a month as she’d been bedridden with a high fever, even after she’d recovered thanks to the medicine Dad brought her from the surface.
Admittedly, Milo’s a little surprised they remembered given it was four years ago now, but she’s also quite touched. Still, Milo wishes they wouldn’t worry so much about her. Worrying is supposed to be her job.
Quietly, Milo relents to letting Raph tug her along as Donnie, Leo, and Mikey chat loudly amongst themselves. When they return home, the three youngest dismount from Raph and Milo.
“We’re gonna go tell Dad what happened,” Leo declares.
Donnie goes rigid. “Wait! Leo, maybe Dad doesn’t need to know all of it—!”
He’s gone—Donnie and Mikey on his heels, begging for Leo to minimize their own involvement in the events leading up to their close encounter—before Milo can object, and Raph pulls her towards their designated med bay.
It’s just a small side room, nowhere near as impressive as Baba’s was, but in the years that Milo has lived with Dad, she’s found that none of them need anything near the level that she had with Baba. They’ve got a fairly robust stockpile for dire emergencies like broken bones and cracked shells, but the bulk of their medical supplies are bandages and anti-bacterial salve because that’s most of what they need.
Raph immediately bee-lines for the metal box covered in stickers that sits in the lowest cabinet—well within easy reach for their smaller brothers just in case they need it for whatever reason—and sits on the ground in front of Milo. Silently, she does the same, watching as Raph picks out the salve tube and cotton swabs and gauze wraps from amongst the collection of bandaids and gets to work.
They sit in silence for a while as Raph applies disinfectant and looks over the bite mark on Milo’s forearm.
And then…
“You shouldn’t have done that, sis,” Raph mumbles.
Milo starts. “Huh? Of course I had to do it, Raph!” She protests. “That dog was really mean and it could have hurt you all really badly.”
Raph’s eyes shine wetly. “But you got hurt protecting us…”
“I’m your big sister, Raph,” Milo says quietly as Raph wraps her injury.
“It's my job to protect you. I don’t mind getting a scrape or two out of it.”
His beak scrunches irritably at that, tears spilling from his eyes. “But if you’re protecting us, who’s protecting you?” He asks.
Milo doesn’t have a good answer to that. She doesn’t see herself as someone who needs protecting. She’s supposed to be the one doing the protecting. If there comes a day where that isn’t the case, then that means that Milo isn’t doing her job right.
She’s about to say as much when Raph continues.
“You matter so much to us, Milo. I hate it when you risk yourself like this,” he admits. He wipes his tears on the back of his arm and when he meets Milo’s gaze, it’s with a look of absolute determination. “That’s why Raph’s gonna to protect you right back!”
Milo finds herself chuckling at that. “Okay, sure.”
“I’m serious!” Raph protests, face flushing with his indignation.
“You’ll see! When I’m bigger, I’ll be able to protect all of us, just like you!”
Despite herself, Milo can’t help the warm, fuzzy feeling that blooms in her chest. She smiles fondly at her little brother.
When he wraps her arm, Milo turns the favor right back on him. Raph’s injuries are a lot more superficial than Milo’s but are more numerous. They’re giggling amongst themselves, picking through the selection of novelty bandaids when Dad comes stumbling in, Leo, Mikey, and Donnie shuffling sheepishly behind him.
“Green! Red! Are you both alright?” He exclaims.
Dad doesn’t even wait for them to answer before fretting over them both, looking visibly pained by the deep, still oozing bite wound on Milo’s left arm. Even now, little spots of red peak through the bandage, but not enough to warrant changing it right now. Later, definitely, but it’ll be fine until the bleeding stops completely.
“Oh, Green…”
“It’s alright, Dad,” Milo assures him. “It’s just a flesh wound.”
“Milo…that dog bit you pretty deep…,” Mikey whimpers.
“Yeah! What if you get rabies!” Leo shouts. “Are we gonna have to get you to a human hospital? Rabies is no joke! You’ll die from it!”
Donnie elbows Leo sharply in the side. “Nardo, that dog definitely didn’t have rabies,” he states calmly. “It was just aggressive and poorly trained. Still, our dear sister is at risk of infection. Who knows what that beast put in its mouth before biting her.” Donnie sticks out his tongue at the thought.
Dad exhales shakily and ruffles Milo’s hair, messing up the strands she has tucked behind her green bandana. She laughs, putting up a token protest against the show of affection.
“At least you all are alright,” Dad says.
“Of course we are!” Milo beams. “I’ll always make sure we come home safe.”
Raph shoulders in, pouting. “And I’ll make sure sis comes back too!”
Dad smiles softly, visibly relieved. “I am glad to hear it,” he says.
“Now. You’ve all had a trying day. How about some fruit?”
All five of them cheer, following their dad to the kitchen, and leaving behind the mess of bloodied cotton balls and torn up bandaid wrappers, the ordeal temporarily forgotten.
(But Raph never forgets the oath he made this day. Even if Milo admittedly didn’t take it very seriously, so sure that no matter what happens, her little brother will never have to shoulder her burden of safeguarding their family alone.)

After the Matter
Rottmnt Donnie x fem! reader
Donnie calls you to the lair to help him with wounds after the Kranng is gone. After getting Leo inside and fixing him up, you look to Donnie who’s still bleeding under his shell.
Main inspiration from @happyfoxx-art
Part Two
The boys hugged each other crying as they almost lost Leo for good.
"Let's never do that again," Raph says. The others nod in quiet agreement.
"Yeah. How could you guys live without me?" Leo joked. Leo smiles but immediately starts coughing horribly. Mikey panics as the group hugs breaks. Raph holds Leo up as he coughed.
"What hurts?!" Donnie asks. Leo waves him off.
"I'm fine. Just a flesh wound." Raph looked to Donnie, unsure what to do.
"Can you check him?" He asks worried. Donnie furrowed his eyebrow, pulling down his goggles.
"Sure I can..he says unsure. This isn't really my thing.." Donnie looked at Leo and scanned him over briefly. His goggles had picked up several dangerous wounds on Leo and that wasn't even all of it.
"Well good news, his ego isn't damaged..." Donnie started. Leo smiled weakly lifting his fist.
"Woohoo.." He tiredly cheered.
"But that's possibly the only thing unmanaged. You've got so many wounds externally that I don't even want to imagine what your internals look like." Donnie finished with a tense look on his face. Mikey had called for April and Splinter but Donnie had a person that would know how to handle wounds like this in their sleep. Although this was possibly not the best time to bring her. After all she might freak out more than anyone else.
"Leo?! LEO!" Raph yelled at Leo as he started to zone out and close his eyes.
Donnie inhaled quickly and put his arm under Leo.
"Mikey get his other side! We gotta get him to April and Dad!" The two of them walked Leo to the van that April had borrowed. They put Leo in the back and April drove to the lair in the abandoned train station they called home. Splinter talked to Leo to try to get him to focus on staying awake.
"Raph. Raph!" Donnie snapped his fingers as Raph zoned out for some reason.
"Huh?" Raph was slightly dazed as he was still coming from deep thought.
"Let me patch you up.  You're bleeding all over the place and the last thing we need is for you to get some alien infection we can't cure." Raph nods understanding the intensity of Donnie's words.
"Right but shouldn't you be helping Leo? He's doing worse than any of us." Raph looked to Leo who was counting with Spinter and telling the story of how things were in the other dimension.
"I want to. I really do but I can't help him here. Our best bet is getting back home and taking care of him there. Now you mentioned your arm feels numb or it's buzzing?" Donnie's words were clear and cut like a knife but maybe that's what they need.
Raph nods and sits down so Donnie can patch him up.
"He may have nerve damage." Leo points out. Raph perked up and tried to get Leo to focus on anything else.
"Let him tell me what to do. He needs to stay awake anyways." Leo told Donnie in a weak voice to clean his wound and if it's still bleeding to apply pressure but not so much that he somehow makes it worse.
"Now you gotta..."Leo hisses in pain as April goes over a slight bump.
"Sorry!" April calls back to them.
"You gotta check his eye." Donnie was going to but Raph gently pushed his hand away from his face.
"I can wait. It doesn't hurt that bad so I don't mind." Donnie frowns at his response but it's not like he's really in a spot to stop him.
"Ok then. Let me know if it gets worse. Mikey, come here so I can help you out." Mikey shook in his seat up front as he focused on the road. He didn't want to move.
"Come on Mikey, We can't let your wounds get worse." Donnie said. Mikey got up from the front seat and allowed Donnie to help him out.
"Now would really be the best time to call her..I'll call her when I'm done." Donnie mutter to himself as he took Mikey's hand.
Donnie did his best to take care of his brothers in the van but the real challenge was handling Leo in the med station. When they get back to the lair, Y/N was waiting with Casey in the lair.
“Oh my god. All of you are incredibly injured! Casey! Help Donnie get Leo into the med station!” Y/n was a special case. She was someone that Donnie held near and dear to his heart. Loving her with all of his being even if he was awkward with her. However there was one thing that was special about her. She was a human born and raised in the hidden city, due to this she grew up with mystic powers…healing powers. She can quiet literally see the injuries on someone and can heal that injury. It drains her though, making her very tired. She joined the boys in the med bay as Donnie scanned Leo to look over his injuries. Y/n stood next to Donnie and started mumbling to herself about the damage.
“How bad is it?” Donnie asked. She looked to him with a deep frown.
“It’s worse than I originally thought. Fractures, internal bleeding,and so much more.” The scan came up on Donnie’s screen and it almost made the poor turtle vomit. His brother was one misstep from critical condition.
“I’m so glad that I called you,Love.” Donnie whispered. Y/n raised an eye brown at him. Donnie ever called her nicknames unless something was seriously wrong. Y/n glanced over him and realized that his shell had rips over it. Even though his battle shell hid the cuts, the faint white glow was easy to see to you.
“Lets put his arm back in place and handle the smaller injuries. Leo,I need you to stay so very still.” Y/n held Leo’s arm and Casey held Leo’s shoulders to prepare him. Y/n forced his arm back in place. Leo cried out in pain briefly but his strife was not going to end any time soon. Casey and Y/n sewed up the minor cuts and bandaged the things that needed it. Donnie unfortunately kept disassociating in the process.
“Donnie? We need you to help Leo hold still while Casey does his leg.” Donnie nods and Leo is steadied by Don. Y/n activated her powers to heal his bone as Casey took care of his leg. They just had to ignore Leo’s screams. Once they finished, Donne backed away from the three of them.
“Don?” Y/n wondered. She watched him shake his hands and pace in the small room. His whole body was shaking from the possible overstimulation.
“Dee, I’ll be ok with them. Go ahead and take care of yourself.” Leo did his best to keep his voice low. Donnie nods and races out the room. Leo looks to Y/n with a frown on his face.
“Go take care of him.” Y/n nods and goes after Donnie. Y/n knew Donnie’s condition wasn’t good but she didn’t realize that he’d been suppressing his own emotions just to help his brothers.
As a side note: for those of you that have been sending this fic to @happyfoxx-art. I’d like to formally apologize about the unintended copycat work. This was mainly a collaboration between a friend of mine and me. Had no idea that their comic was a thing. Again I’d like to apologize for this.

Tmnt 2k12 headcanon
April had to explain periods to the guys and after Donnie did some more research ALL the boys were in awe of April for a while.
"Dude, one of her internal organs rips itself into chunks of meat EVERY MONTH. That's badass. I respect anyone who can bleed for five days straight and not die." -Raph
Anyway, one day when April's hanging out in the lair and she's on her period, she says "I would KILL someone for some tater tots right about now," and Mikey, genuinely fearing for his life, acquires some tater tots (don't ask me where, when or how) and brings them to her. She literally cries and the boys all lose their minds because they think something's wrong. She has to explain that hormones just Do That sometimes.
"Man am I glad my organs stay where they are." -Casey

Bay/Rise 26!! Rise splinter = Yoshi and Bay splinter = Splinter. Today’s chapter is cut in half like yesterday’s, so expect another post later today! @brightlotusmoon @errorfreak88 @selfindulgenz
“Not bad.” Once the fighting was over, Leo approached Leonardo with a nod. “Have to say, not what I was expecting.”
“I didn't do it for your approval.”
Leonardo brushed off Leo’s praise with a wave of his hand, walking away quickly before the box turtle could see his smile. He hurried quickly over to Raphael, the mutant’s jaw still slack as he looked around like a confused animal.
“Raph— Raph, hey bud chill!” Raphael snapped to look at Leonardo, giving a snarl before he recognized Leonardo and let the slider bring a hand to his pulsing neck. “They’re gone. It’s okay.”
“Why is he like that?” Raph approached cautiously, his brow creased in his confusion at the state of his counterpart.
“It’s fine— he’s fine! Just stay back, you’re gonna make his agitated. Give me a minute…” Leonardo rested his head against Raphael’s chest and stroked the turtle’s shell in comforting spirals as he started to hum the lullaby from their childhood.
Donatello put Michelangelo gently on the ground before the both of them hustled over to Mikey, who still in his shell with the sound of whimpering echoing from inside. Michelangelo frowned, but Donatello simply gave an amused hum as he knocked on the box turtles shell.
“Hello? Anyone home?”
The shell opened slightly. “Did we win?”
“Sure did, terrifying large Miguel. You wanna come out and join the celebration?”
Mikey’s nose poked out of his shell slowly, looking around before the rest of him popped out and he scrambled to his feet with a deep breath, leaning over on his knees to shake his head. “That was scary.”
“Mike!” Leo’s call sounded from across the room as he summoned his brother.
“Uh— I gotta.” Mikey pointed to his brothers.
“Oh, please do!” Donatello gave a bow and motioned Mikey through, “Don’t stop on our account.” Once Mikey was out of earshot, Donatello turned to Michelangelo, “You okay Mike?”
“Hm? I’m yeah, I’m fine!” Michelangelo’s voice was high-pitched and chipper, his smile almost genuine despite the horror that had just occurred. His eyes had a particular twinkle in them that Donatello had learned to recognize over years, and Michelangelo carried himself with a correct posture and high head that contradicted his usual relaxed state. “We have to check on Michelangelo though. He had a panic attack earlier on the rooftops and I’d like to do an in-depth analysis on his mental status to make sure he’s coping okay.”
The speech pattern confirmed Donatello’s suspicion. “Yeah— sounds great, Feelings. Do your thing.”
~~~
The whole way back to the lair, the turtles maintained almost no formation. For the first time since they’d met, they all mingled together more like a family than two separate units. Leo, of course, was in the lead while his counterpart took up the rear with Raphael, who was still going through the motions of bringing himself back down to earth. Leonardo was helping him keep his focus. Donatello had April on his battle shell, folded out into the seat built just for her, and the two of them were with Raph and Donnie. The Mikey’s stuck together almost like glue, though it was mostly Michelangelo who kept them together so he could watch Mikey’s every movement with an intense focus.
When they got back home, the Splinter’s were waiting for them at the entry tunnel. Yoshi separated from his conversation with the other rat to hurry forward with arms outstretched as he made grabby paws.
“April!”
“Splints!” April hopped down from Donatello’s shell and fell into Yoshi’s hugs, kneeling down to his height so the master could hug her to his chest and plant ticklish kisses on her forehead, rubbing his paw through the curls of her hair. “Aw, Splints! You’re okay!”
“Aaaand so is the city!” Donatello interrupted, flashing the orb pointedly with a proud smile. “Yes, yes, I know. Hold thy applause!”
“Purple!” Yoshi gave April one last kiss before he held his paws out to collect the orb. “Good work! But what happened to you, April? I— I couldn’t go after you, I—“
“Don’t worry, Splints!” April said, her face glowing despite her ordeal, “The doc said all the bleeding’s internal! That’s where the blood supposed to be!”
Yoshi narrowed his eyes. “How long have you been waiting to make that joke?”
“Way too long, Splinter! Way. Too. Long!”
Yoshi shook his head, then turned to his sons. “And my boys! Are you all alright?”
“No, we’re not.” Leonardo kneeled in front of Yoshi, “It was Draxum, dad. Draxum and the foot recruit they— they’re the ones that took April.”
“Draxum…?” For a moment, Yoshi’s eyes flashed with disbelief before anger took over the red pools. “I knew it! I knew that no good yokai would—“
“Dad.” Leonardo silenced Yoshi and pointed at Michelangelo.
Yoshi’s eyes immediately softened. “Oh… oh Orange…”
“I’m fine father!” Michelangelo chirped, giving his dad a happy squeeze.
“Father? Since when do you… oh.” Yoshi recognized quickly what was happening.
Michelangelo gave a happy giggle before walking off, his arms dancing at his side with each step. Yoshi’s eyes couldn’t help but follow him. Leo couldn't hide his curiosity any more, approaching Yoshi with a polite bow.
“Master, I must ask what the importance of the orb is.”
“You haven’t told him?” Yoshi looked to his sons and was met with three shrugs. He groaned and his ears went back as he shook his head. “This is a mystic orb in which the people of our New York were trapped.”
“Yooo how they all fit in there?” Mikey shoved his way in, squishing his face against Leo for a second before he was pushed away.
Yoshi’s expression changed quickly to an annoyed one. “It’s magic.”
“Yeah! Courtesy of dad’s crazy ex spider fiance.” Leonardo added.
“I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS A SPIDER AT THE TIME!” Yoshi shoved Leonardo away.
“Your world is… very complicated.” Splinter cleared his throat.
“Tell me about it.” Yoshi huffed.
Splinter turned to the gathered ninja. “You boys should go rest. You too, April. You’ve been through a great ordeal.”
“Thanks! Uh… other Splinter?” April looked to Donatello, “Someone gon’ explain to me what’s happening here?”
“You can have a look at her stitches in my lab to make sure she didn't pull anything.” Donnie offered, “And so you can explain everything in private.”
“That’s great, but I don’t do that… stuff.” Donatello said, sticking out his tongue and waving a hand like he was flicking off germs.
Before Donnie could do anything but blank in sheer confusion, Leonardo took April in a bridal carry and took her toward Donnie’s lab.
“Someone say they need a medic?” Leonardo beamed
“My hero.” April rolled her eyes.
Donnie shook his head slowly as he gawked after them. “This just keeps getting weirder and weirder…”

AU Leonardo x Blind Murdock Reader (TMNT 2014/2016)- Chapter 8 (A)
Tumblr media
“Pizza!!!”
Mikey tosses a slice, and you just step to the side as it falls flat on the floor. The orange clad turtle lets out a loud gasp, over dramatic. You just roll your eyes.
“Can you for a minute just pretend that you know, maybe I’m blind and I’d appreciate it if you placed the food on a plate like a normal person?”
Donnie nods. “I apologize on Mikey’s behalf, sometimes he forgets. I guess we all do.”
Donnie lets out a little snort, and you laugh. “I’m touched, still. Don’t throw food Mikey, it’s rude.”
“Man, you’re like a bossy little sister.” Mikey comments. You can’t stop the smile that graces your lips this time. It doesn’t fail to warm your heart when they make statements like that. To Mikey, it may not seem like much, but to you it means the world that they actually consider you family. Raph walks up from behind you, resting his hand on your head, giving a quick pat.
“Hey kid.” He knows that title annoys you, that’s why he does it. There’s probably a stupid smirk on his stupid face. It’s then that you really think about something.
“Your face…” You have absolutely no idea what they really look like. Apart your morphed view of what the world looks like, you don’t have an actual visual.
“What’s that?” Donnie is sipping on a juicebox, and he just barely hears what you mutter.
“I have no idea what you guys look like.” you say solemnly.
“Umm, I could be wrong but isn’t that how blindness works.” Mikey gets a tap on his head from Raph at the remark.
That sparks Donnie’s interest. 
“You’re right, why didn’t I think of this before!” he rushes to stand right in front of you. “Feel my face!” you take a small step back at his excitement.
“Uhh are you sure?” You’d never really tested that theory, and it was kind of weird asking to feel around someone’s face.
“Yes! According to what I’ve recorded on your abilities, you assess most of what you internalize is done kinesthetically. Therefore you should gain a very decent mental picture from the feel of our facial structure. Please, begin. “ Donnie really was a scientist.
You take a seat, and Donnie is beaming with excitement. When you reach out cautiously, you don’t know why you’re so hesitant. Maybe it’s the fact that no one’s ever asked such a thing of you. The minute your hands make contact, your body straightens and you marvel at the feel of his skin. It’s a bit rough, but also smooth, and the image that’s slowly building in your mind, you can almost see him. Your fingers nudge the glasses perched on his face, and you apologize, but you're grinning just as wide as Donnie because it’s been years.
The only other person that you’ve ever felt is your father. Donnie's smile drops slowly when he sees the tears now rolling down your cheeks.
“A-Are you okay!!”
He’s concerned that possibly he crossed a line. You hate this and he’s forced you into something. The smile doesn’t leave and you pitch forward, wrapping your hands around his neck. Donnie’s confused. You seem happy, but you're still crying.
“Thank you Donnie..” you whisper. It’s then that it hits him, and he smiles too, returning your embrace.
“You don’t have to thank me.”
One by one, you take chances, you’re shocked that even Raph agrees to let you touch his face. Your fingers dance along his nose, down to the scar. The mental picture of Raph is pretty handsome, and maybe somewhat rough. You guess his face fits his personality perfectly. You poke his nose, letting out a giggle. This particular feature is so cute, you can’t help it.
“You’re really enjoying yourself aren’t you.” sarcasm is expected.
“Definitely.”
“What are you guys doing?” It’s at that moment Leo walks in. You pull away, fidgeting with your fingers
“(Y/N) was touching our face so she can tell what we look like, Donnie says it works!!” Leo's gaze refocuses on you at the explanation, and your face turns red. You can feel his gaze just boring into you. Even without sight. “Is that so..” the way he says it, almost contemplative. Somehow thinking of touching him, it erupts a completely different feeling.
You don’t know what to say, or do stop your own erratic heartbeat. It’s so loud, to the point that you feel like you’ll get a headache.
The beeping from Donnie’s machine’s catch everyone’s attention.
“Thank you..” you mutter. Saved by the beep.
“Looks like we have a busy night, gear up.” Nods around the room, and you’re already moving into fight mode. You keep an extra pair of clothing at the lair, just for moments like this. Good thing too. You’re heading for Donnie’s room to grab the outfit. As you buzz pass, you feel the air, and you can tell that it’s Leo you dodge on the way over. He doesn’t say much, just watches, and you guess that’s why you’re a bit nervous. You try to ignore it, if nothing but to keep your body from reacting to him.
“It’s gonna be a tough night.”
You already know.
~~~~~
By the time you make it back your knuckles are sore. Mikey and Raph are as energetic as ever. They seemed more hyper than when you left. You dodge a ball that Raph tosses to the orange clad turtle. You just lift your hands with a ‘really’ look.
“I knew you’d avoid it. “
Sure he did.
“(Y/N), your knuckles are bleeding. “ Donnie notes, removing his goggles a bit concerned. You’ve figured as much. You can smell the faint scent of iron in the air.
“It’s fine, it doesn't even hurt.” That’s not enough to convince him.
“Let’s get that cleaned up. “ Leo walks into the room, and you guessed he’s heard from around the corner.
“Yeah, Leo’s amazing when it comes to injuries!!”
Mikey shouts a bit too enthusiastically. Poor Leo, with the way the youngest turtle was so reckless, it must be a regular thing. You kind of want to deny him. Being alone with him, it’s not something you think you’ll be able to handle. But you don’t have a choice. If you refuse, the rest of them may realize that something’s up, and you really don’t want his brothers in on what’s going on with you two.
“S-Sure.” That was a terribly unsteady response.
So you followed Leo, and he didn’t say a word the entire walk to his room. He opened the door for you to walk in, and you did. Standing a bit awkwardly at the center. Leo smiles from his spot, moving and taking your arm gently as he guides you to the bed. His touch is so soft, and far different from the ones you’re given on a daily basis when individuals try to help you cross the street, or get up a flight of stairs. He’s actually holding your hand, and you love the warmth. You take a seat, and Leo moves to get a few things.
“I think this is the second time that I’ve had to patch you up. I’m starting to think you’re getting hurt on purpose. Just so you can get me alone.”
There’s a playful teasing in his voice, and although you know he’s not being serious, you blush. Leo notices, and he’s come to realize that the sight makes him a bit nervous as well. Lately everything you did affected him. Your head lowers, and you’re picking at your dark pants.
“Sorry, I’m sorry if I’m making things awkward between us.” Leo walks over, and there’s a little bit of defeat in his words.
He rests the items down, moving closer. He stops when he’s just a few feet away, and you have to assume it’s because he thinks that’s what you want.
“The last time we spoke I assumed and I didn’t even ask if it was something you’d be interested in exploring. I didn’t give you a chance to tell me what you feel and I realize that must be the reason you’re always so tense around me now. “
That’s far from the reason. You aren’t uncomfortable, just a bit stunned.
After his little confession you started going over everything, and you realized that until now, you’ve never really opened up to anyone. You’ve distanced yourself to keep from experiencing anymore pain. The worst way to live. So when Leo said those things, it threw you off. You weren’t sure how to respond, because at some point you’ve come to care for him so much, and the prospect of him returning those feelings was horrifying.
“I’m not uncomfortable, and you didn’t just assume Leo.” His head lifts.
“Leo I...I haven’t had a very good opinion of myself for as long as I can recall. Until now I’ve..I think I’ve hated myself. That’s why I couldn’t believe it when you said those things, I didn’t want to because I feel like I don’t deserve it. “
“(Y/N) you deserve far more!” you smiled at the indignation in his voice.
“The way you treat me, talk to me...It makes me believe that. That’s why I need time Leo. I just think I can’t fully get into something with someone when I’m still learning to love myself. I need a chance, because the way I feel about you, I want to keep it for as long as I possibly can. “ Leo moves in, and he hesitates for a while, but then eventually, his palms rest on your cheek. You close your eyes, entranced.
“I don’t care how long I have to wait (Y/N). If it’s guaranteed that I get even a chance to be with you, then I’ll wait for as long as I have to. “
It’s not going to be easy, but you're thankful. For Leo, his brothers. Everything that has led to this point. Given you a chance to trust again.

As much as Leo liked to think he was a wordsmith, a artisan of words, sometimes there was only one was to describe a situation. And this particular situation only needed one word to describe it
 OW
 His hands came up, trying to pry the vine that had been at his throat. A pair of hands shook at his shoulders, hard enough for him to finally cough loudly gasping for air, a hand rubbed at his shell through his black gi, “Are you ok?!” Asked a frantic voice
 Though his body was telling him otherwise he nodded finally opening his eyes, Don was looking down on him with a concerned look, with the black gi and red mask. Glancing around Leo was grateful that  Draxum had thought to put Raph and Mikey were with him but while   Raph was sitting up but his head resting to the side told him that he wasn’t awake, it took him a bit to realize that the biggest brother was cradling a unconscious Mikey in his arms he was about to ask if the youngest was awake , but his throat constricted again causing him to cough loudly. Don wrapped arm around his shoulders, “Leo take a deep breath, “Leo struggled to comply grateful for the oxygen stinging his throat
 “Pathetic.”
Leo had almost forgotten about the metal cage. He had remembered Draxum had ambushed them at the Dark Armor, trapping them in vines. He remembered one of them finding its way around his neck, barely  giving his airway for the oxygen he so desperately needed. Donnie glared up at the villain responsible for their state “Where’s April?!” He demanded
 “Your human friend is fine, I sent her back to your “ Draxum gave a disgusted shiver and eye roll, “rat. Hopefully it will give  him the motivation to bring me the last piece of the dark armor. If not.”  Gave a lazy twirl of his wrist, “I guess I will do with you as I see fit.”
 Leo knew Draxum was trying to scare them. He opened his mouth make a quip before he coughed again, he rubbed at his throat, desperate to relieve the pain. Don gave him a concerned look, glancing to the ret of their brothers before standing up, “Draxum, given me Leo’s medkit.”
 Draxum turned to look at them, “You dare make demands of me!?”
 “The small white box Leo had on him, I need it to help my brothers.”Donnie gripped the bars of the cage, “My brothers might have internal bleeding  you overgrown Capra Aegagrus Hircus. If you have any sort of heart in you you’ll let me help them”
 Leo wasn’t sure what that meant  but Draxum turned to look at him fully. There was so meting in his eyes, as though looking at Donnie for the first time. Before anyone could move, a vine shot out and grabbed him around the chest, shoving him hard against the back bars of the cage. Causing the metal bards to dig into his soft leathery shell, his teeth gritted in pain. Leo jumped and grabbed at the vine, trying to pull it off of him, “st-“ Draxum’s eyes bore on Donatello, as though studying his pain with a scientific eye. Without looking away a vine knocked Leo off of the first vine causing him to land on Raphael. His older brother waking with a start. “I thought so, you’re the soft shell.” With another twitch, Donnie was pulled forward pulling him to the front of the cage with the same force as he had before. Despite having only been somewhat awake for a few seconds, Raph let out a low growl, “Let. Him go you-“he had started to move to his knees but lightheadedness must of taken over again, causing Raph to almost fall on his side. Leo supported him the best he could as Raph struggled for air. Watching helplessly as  Draxum’s fingers caught Donnie around the jawline, forcing their eyes to meet, “I can still see you have that sensitive shell.”his fingers nails digging into this skin, “After Lou Jitsu interfered with my experiment, I thought all my work as for nothing. Except your so called brothers’ turned out fine, if younger then I needed.” Draxum’s eyes narrowed, “Not you, you trembled you shrieked if anything touched your. Of all your brothers. I considered you to be the only failure. Your ‘Splinter’ denied it, but I Knew something was wrong with you. I should of throw you away with the trash when I had a chance.” At this point Draxum’s face was nearly a millimeter from his brothers, “ Trust me when I say I wont make that mistake twice” With a flourish, Donnie was thrown back into the cage, bouncing off Raph’s outstretched arm, how had tried to keep him from landing too hard.’ Leo moved close, “D-nee.” He croaked out, he tired to touch his brothers shell to check for any bruising, but Donnie flinched from his touch “I’m fine.”
 “Dee-“
 “I said I’m fine.” His voice held al the bitterment of his usual personality, but his eyes held a shimmer of tears, before  turning to him, “maybe I can help without the medkit.”
 He knew Donnie wasn’t alright, but he did the best he could helping Leo and Mikey. Before going off sitting by himself. Raph had tried to talk to him, but Leo had given him a shake of his head . Eventually they would escape, and destroy the dark armor.
But he would never forget what Draxum had said
                                                (#)(#)\/(#)(#)
 “”MONOPOLY!!” Leo shrieked with glee as Mikey landed on one of his properties, “Pay up!!!” He said, leaning over the board and holding his hand out to his youngest brother, who was holding his last few hundred play dollars to his chest like it was his last child
 “B-B-but, “ Mikey looked at his last few hundred play dollars as though they were his children, “But I’m your favorite brother.”
 “All’s fair in love and war Mikearino.” Leo , with some difficulty, peeled the money from his hands, leaving him with a single dollar. Almost collectively the entire group groaned. Draxum had his doubts when Michelangelo had recommended a weekly ritual known as ‘Game Night’ to be held in  his place of residence atleast one day a week (having it at the Turtles home was out of the question according to Master Splinter).  He hadn’t been sure of hosting the vent at first. But during that first night of Games, as Draxum watched the red slider turtle dominate  game after game, (always with a victory cheer of the games title) he could say one thing
 This was the biggest mistake of his life
 He drug his hand down his face  the table giving a small tremble as Leonardo climbed on top of it,  dong some sort of dance he had seen on the World Wide Web with a giant grin, “DOWN turtle, I just procured this table from the IKEA.”
Leonardo puffed his face at him before blowing out air , “What ever.” He jumped down from the table with a flourish. Taking up the dice again, “Now, whose turn is it to weep at my glory and join Raphael in bankruptcy jail?”  
 Draxum frowned, looking back at his fake money, he had fallen on Leonardo’s property enough times to have only a few hundreds left and no desire to be victim to theoretical bankruptcy.  Thankfully it was not his turn, his fell on the purple turtle who was studying the board with analytical eyes. Ignoring Raphael rolling out his turn and wailing as Leo began to wrestle him for his money. The purple turtle hadn’t been playing as well as Leonardo, but judging by the few properties he had purchased he had a strategy in mind. Donatello caught him looking in his direction and frowned slightly before looking back to the board
 Draxum stood up, “I will return with snacks,” he announced, though the group was largely distracted by Raphael weeping over his loss of his money. He was unsure how the turtles had so much energy this late at night. But it was almost admirable. He opened the freezer and drew out a ice tray, twisting the frame and popping out the ice cubes and pouring them into a bowl.
 “Um, Draxie? What are those?” Mikey asked, looking around him with a confused look on his face
 “Last we spoke you mentioned a desert called iced cream, well I have painstakingly made my own iced cream.” He looked to the smallest turtle, waiting to be showered in his praise only for Mikey to look at the white cubes in the bowls , ‘Um dude, did you just put milk in ice trays?”
 “And sugar. Is that not ice cream?” Sure he had taken some liberties, but he was sure this would be indistinguishable from the real thing, but before he could rectify the situation, Mikey leaned over, squishing his face against his arm, “Its ok Beary you’re trying!! Buuut do you have anything  else we can snack on? Other then what you set out?” With a expression Draxum can only describe as dread, he looked back over to the table and snack bowl Draxum had set up earlier. He wasn’t sure why no on had touched it, the bag he had poured it from has seemed Fine. IT had a dog on the cover, it was apparently made for ‘large’ animals, and it had been rather cheap. Not to mention it was supposed to be great for fur (of which he had none of but he figured it was a side affect)
 Draxum huffed before going through his designated ‘snack cabinet’ mostly full of ‘ray-men’ packs and granola bars’, “Does anyone here enjoy gravy flavored granola cards?” Judging by the looks of disgust on the turtles face, they didn’t He let out a low growl  before returning o his cabinet, “I will find something to feed you with. In the mean time satisfy yourselves with my soft drinks. Michelangelo you may play in my place.”
 At the chance to play agin, Mikey let out a squeal of delight, giving him a quick squeeze before loading his arms full of his soda and hurrying back to the table. Draxum, failing to find any non granola snack growled under his breath and moved back to the table just as a tiny plastic house smacked Donnie in the forehead, “Leonardo do not make a mess.”Draxum commanded
 “Its not my fault Don’s forehead is a easy target.” Leo grinned before another plastic house hit him in the eye, causing him to yelp , grabbing at his face “how DARE you! You could of scratched my perfect face!”
 “I mean, with a face like that you cant’ really ruin it more can you.” Donnie said For the first time all night Donnie has a smirk Draxum has seen him have many times. Leo grins back and before Draxum realized what was about to happen. Each of the turtles has a arm full of Monopoly houses and are chucking them at each other, dashing around the room with loud shouts of laughter. Draxum allows himself a breath, to calm his nerves, before he hair flies on end, his vine shot out of his wall, catching Leonardo by the ankle and yanking up causing him to yelp loudly and drop all his artillery , “DO NOT SHOWER MY HOUSE WITH TINY PLASTIC HOUSES!’ He demanded to the turtles frozen in mid throw
 “Technically it’s a Apartment. Not a house.”Leo said crossing his arms over his chest unfazed by his predicament.
 Draxum gave him a glare, “You four, clean this up. Or you can’t have any Scandinavian Soda.”
 “Doesn’t sound like much of a punishment to to me.” Leo mumbled. Draxum lets out a growl before releasing Leo’s ankle. With a shriek Leo landed upside down before wiggling around to a position on his knees, still grumbling. His brothers joining him.
The Warring Alchemist has noticed a few things about these turtles that he hadn’t when they were enemies, namely now that he wasn’t threatening to torture them they didn’t seem to fear him as much and that came out in different ways. Mikey had accepted him a friend and a reluctant family member. Mostly unwilling on his part, but the box turtle had been hard to refuse with as eager as he was. Raphael seemed to respect hm to a extent, a friendly attitude but atleast he was willing to give him a chance.
 That left the two problem turtles
 Leonardo had a more flippant attitude with him. At first he had taken it the same as he had taken Mikeys’ laxness around him, that he had accepted him. But that didn’t feel right. He couldn’t put his finger on it, he wasn’t aggressive, or anymore of a (what was the word?) Nick Head. The purple one was also hard for him to read.
But of course, that was probably how he wanted it
 Speaking of purple , Leonardo had started searching by him, going out of his way to bump shoulders with a laugh, “bet I’ll find more then you!” Leo challenged before crawling off at a higher speed. Don grinned after him, “In your dreams Lamenardo!” With that he looks around, unable to find more he shifts under the table. Draxum can only pinch the bridge between his eyes when he realizes, rather then take this as a punishment, they are treating it like a childish game.
 Leo suddenly shot up to a standing position, “I WIN!” He said holding up a handful of Monopoly houses
 There’s a squawk of despair but before more dreaded hijinks there was a loud banging sound as something hit the table from underneath with a cursed  shout. Leonardo’s demeanor changed In a split second, “Dee? You ok?” When he didn’t get a  answer, he ducked down to check under the table. Draxum rolled his eyes before returning to his search.  Out of the corner of his eye he watched the two emerge from under the table, Donatello was holding his shoulder with a pained look on his face , “how hard did you hit your shell?” Leo asked, Draxum almost couldn’t believe this was the same turtle who he had seen steal the same purple turtles phone and threaten to drop it in the toilet if the purple turtle didn’t admit Leonardo was his favorite Blue turtle
 Which he had
 Twelve times
 That night
 The normally self assured turtle gave a tremble, “its fine.” He said between his teeth
 Leonardo’s brow furrowed in concern, for someone who had only ever seen the red slider turtle with a annoying sneer or laugh it should seem out of place. But its almost as though it was his nature to be concerned as it was for him to be  witch (No that wasn’t the word, bitch? Bitch was the word?) “Do you want me to look at your shell?”
 “Please.” Draxum rolled his eyes, “his shell is meant to protect his inferior body, if he can’t handle bumping it then he might as well not have one.” The room becomes silent in a way that even he notices. He looks back into the room, Raph is giving him a somewhat disappointed expression that he doesn’t understand and even Mikey looks unhappy with him. Donatello doesn’t even look in his direction, but actively avoiding looking at him. Leonardo however, is glaring at him. Again, his entire nature seems to change in a split second with dagger sin his eyes.
 It reminds Draxum of a few weeks ago Draxum had been walking home with groceries when he had seen a pair of stray dogs in a alley. One of them had been panting heavily but asleep while the other was laying down  in front of it, looking around without a concern in the world with a flapping tail. . Draxum had taken out some meat he had bought to give it to them, but the carefree dog had immediately gotten up growling at him. It took a while later for him to understand that the sleeping dog had probably been sick and the other one was staying nearby to protect it incase it needed help.
 Sarcastic, Concerned, and now Protective
 He wondered which one fo these was the true Leonardo.
 In response to the change in atmosphere he rolled his eyes with a groan, “I am informed  that I do not have any appropriate snacks, and that my iced cream is insufficient. I will leave to procure the snacks required to continue our game night. DO not set anything on fire while I am gone.” He said before grabbing his large trench coat, and stepping out of the door.
 He could not bear to be in the prescience of such weakness.
                                             (#)(#)\/(#)(#)
 If Leo was being honest, he hadn’t  been too enthusiastic when Mikey had recommended a game night at Draxum’s. He had tried to offhandedly comment on his concerns, but Mikeys’ eyes had immediately filled with tears looking to him as though he was the one thing standing between him and his dreams.
 For someone who hated being called the baby fo the family, Mikey really did know how to use it for his advantage.
 But now, glaring after the former Goat Baron he wondered if he should of protested more. Instead he turned his attention to Don, who was still hugging himself , “Are you sure you don’t want me to look at your shell?” He had already moved to touch is brothers shoulder but Donnie had pulled away half heartedly, pulling his hoodie tighter around himself, “I said i’m fine.”
 “A-“ Mikey didn’t look like he knew what to do, except look anxious,” He didn’t mean that, ok? He’s just adjusting and he doesn’t realize everything he’s saying”
 “Sure seemed like he did.” Leo huffed, he looked over to Raph to vent his reaction. He could tell Raph was disappointed in Draxum, but judging by their eye contact, he was gauging his and Don’s reaction to see how angry he should get.
 It wasn’t anyone’s fault that Don’s shell was so sensitive, it had been a problem when they were kids, but as they had gotten older it had become easier for Don to handle slight touches. And nowadays he didn’t have a problem with people touching his shell, and thanks to the Battle Shell his shell was tougher if not more so than his brothers. But he still couldn’t handle someone bumping into it or hitting it on stuff without something to protect it.
 Leo had known Don had been stressed about coming here, but seeing his brother sitting on the couch, barely containing his soft trembles. He looked to Mikey, “Hey I’m getting bored, I’m goin to bounce and do something fun,”
 Mikey opened his mouth to complain, but then Leo glanced at Donnie then back at him. Luckily the orange turtle seemed to understand, “ok, will you atleast come back again next week? I’ll make sure Draxum has good snacks. And I’ll talk to him about what he said.”
 “Ok good, cause I’m pretty sure his Chex mix is just dog food.” Leo took his leathery jacket from the coat rack before looking back, ‘Dee? Wanna come with?”
 His brother looked at him with a look that clearly said, ‘ you’re not fooling anyone’ but sighed “yeah no problem.” Donnie took his purple Sherpa lined jacket over his hoodie both saying their goodbyes before leaving out fo the apartment building. It was weird to be there without seeing April, but she had mentioned she had a art project coming up and that she didn’t have time to hang out this week.
 A lot of things had changed since Draxum had come into their lives
 “Ok let me have it.”
 “Huh?” Leo looked up in time to duck around a ice over light pole, Don looked up from his phone with a unamused look, “You want to vent. I can tell. Talk to me Lee.”
 “I-“ he almost denied how he felt, but there was no point , “I don’t’ get why we have to hang out with that  Man Bunned Butt Man, are we seriously supposed to act like he never tried to kill us?”
 “Like the time he threw you off the roof?”
 Leo threw his hands in the air, “LIKE THE TIME HE ME OFF A ROOF!” That was never going to be ok. Not to mention what had happened when they were captured ,he gave his brother guilty look, “I know you didn’t want to talk about it but are you sure you don’t want to to tell Mikey about what Draxum told you? Maybe if he knew want Draxum said to you-‘ before he could finish his sentence Donnie poked him hard in the face, causing Leo to yelp and rub his cheeks, “RUDE.”
 Don , sighed before looking away from his phone, “I’m not ok with what he said to me that night. Or what he said to me tonight. I don’t even particularly like the idea of spending time with him, but if he’s willing to try to be a better guy then I’m willing to put up with it for.” Don looked back to his phone, “Unless he pisses me off too much in which case I drop him off with the Hidden City Police faster then I use the Fibonacci sequence. And you promised you would’ tell Mikey.”
 That was true, and he had been warned that if he had revealed what Draxum said, Donnie was going to release a video online called “Leo’s broadway audition 2019” which was a threat he was not taking lightly. Even so he looked to his favorite purple turtle and sighed, “I wont,” before opening his arms with a whimpering question in his eyes.
 Don glanced at him in confusion for a moment before smiling and rolling his eyes, “Yes you can hug me.”
 “Yayzzz.” He said before throwing his arms around Donnie ,careful of his shell and hugged him tightly. He had no problem letting go if Don became uncomfortable but when Donnie rested his cheek on his shoulder, he knew there wouldn’t be a problem. Other then then  Ignoring the passing people on the street. As cold as it was Leo was surprised that anyone was out other then them. Speaking of cold, “Hey man, we’re getting close to our favorite Bodegaaaa and I’m feeling snackish. I heard they just got in Extra Spicy Komodo Dragon Pepper Chips. I wanna buy some peanut butter ice cream and sprinkle it on top.”
  “Oh no Leo no,” Donnie groaned in despair, “I’m begging you, no. I can’t handle another night of you taking baths full of milk because you think you’re ‘metal-“
 “Too late we’re doing it!” Leo ducked behind him and guided Donnie forward by the shoulders . what else was better to eat on a cold day anyway then hot spicy chips?! Blatantly ignoring his brothers whines he guided Donnie around to their favorite Bodega that hey had been visiting (tormenting ) since they were old enough to go to the surface on their own. But the minute They get closer to the door, Leo could already hear the loud music blaring on the speakers inside he was about to change his mind when  Don stepped out of his grasp, “Ok I think I’m going to sit this one out . I’ll wait out here, Just be sure to bring back a gallon of sugar free vanilla ice cream for me.”
 “No prob Dee.” Leo said with a happy salute before hopping side to begin his quest for overly spicy chips that he claimed he could handle but obviously couldn’t. Don let out a full smile , shaking his head at his brothers antics. Leave it to Leo to cheer him up and finally get the shaking to leave his hands. But that was Leos’ best skill in Don’s opinion. He leaned his shell against the building and took out his phone agin.
 A loud scoff filled his ears, at first Donnie thinks that Leo is playing a victim card again, but when he looks up all he see is Draxum on the sidewalk, carrying two grocery bags that seemed to be filled with various ice creams, “Let me guess, you’re too sensitive to handle a little store so your brother went in instead of you?”
 Donnie made sure to roll his eyes, “NO he wanted some snacks so I’m waiting for him out here.”
 “you’re not stupid ,you know he coddles you. Treats you like you’re inferior because he feels sorry for you.”
 “Uh Huh.” Donnie pulled his phone back out, “remind me to show you how to use the internet. It’s the best place to share opinions no one cares about.” He’s almost satisfied at Draxum’s low growl, the former villain steps closer. Donnie doesn’t look to him but his free hand is under the lower lip of his shell, fingering his multi-tool bo staff
 “The sooner you realize you were born wrong, the sooner you can stop being a burden to them.” With that Draxum steps away, walking back the way he came to continue a game night with the two remaining brothers. Don waits till Draxum’s out of ear shot before he takes a shake breath  and stuffs his hands in his pocket.
 Unlike last time he knows that there’s nothing that will stop his hands from shaking

Let me know if you wanna be added to the IB or OUATIH taglists! :)
Requested by @svonschroeder _____________________________
***1943*** The basterds stood in a line, somewhere in the middle of absolutely nowhere, in nazi-occupied France. They had a new mission. "Her name is Y/n Landa." Aldo stood with his hands at his hips, "The kid's German, Double agent, working secretly for the French Resistance." Aldo sighed, and looked at the basterds. Every once in a while, he'd be struck by the reminder that a few of them were young enough to still be in school. Hirschberg somehow tricked his way into the army at 16. Here they were... Aldo sometimes wondered how many kids like that were fighting in a world they couldn't even call home anymore. Sometimes it broke his heart... Still, he was Aldo the Apache. No one could know that. The only one who even knew that side of him was his wife, Maggie... He didn't even have the luxury of getting a letter from her, given the absolute secrecy of the basterds. "The French say the kid's gone missing. General says it's our job to find her. Nazis are definitely involved, you boys know what that means, dont'cha?" A few of the basterds started to smirk, ready to begin loading their guns and sharpening their knives. Donny was already eyeing his bat. 
It took some spying, some threatening, and a whole lot of nazi scalps to do it, but they did it. Another mission accomplished. "Holy shit...She's alive right?" Wicki muttered as he took your pulse, "If you could call it that." From the blood and the bruises, you had obviously escaped someone that had no intention of letting you escape. You mumbled, as you drifted in and out of consciousness. You saw the basterds standing over you. You didn't recognize them. And the fact that half of them were wearing nazi disguises... You gave up, looked past the faces and pleaded softly, "Tu ihr nicht weh ..." Hugo frowned a little, and he crouched by you, as Aldo asked, "What she say, boys?" Hugo ignored Aldo for a second, and asked, "Wer verletzt?" Wicki looked back at the basterds, "She said 'don't hurt her.' Hugo's asking who..." Your voice broke into a whisper as a tear streamed down your face, streaking through drying blood, "Emmeline." The basterds looked to Aldo, and he shook his head, "General didn't say nothin' 'bout no Emmeline..." He crouched down by Hugo and Wicki, and shook his head, wondering "What's the world done to you, kid?" Wicki looked over, "I don't think any bones are broken. I'm not sure about internal bleeding." Donny spoke up, "We left a fucking trail of dead nazis here. And a big one. We gotta move, lieutenant." Hirschberg peered out from behind Donny and Omar's shoulders and looked at you. Beneath the blood, there was a face, just about as young as him. A double agent, working on the side of justice, and there you were, half past death's door. A day passed, and when you woke up, you were in what appeared to be an abandoned hostel. You didn't remember anything after the moment you stumbled away from the nazis' grasp. When you saw unfamiliar faces, you tried to get up, but you just couldn't. "No, no, it's ok, kid! We ain't nazis." The man had a scar around his neck, and after hearing that accent, you had no doubt he was telling the truth. He said, "You might know us as the basterds. My name's Aldo." "The Apache?" You murmured, as the weary blurriness in your eyes gave way, and you looked at the rest of the faces. One by one, their names were etched into your memory. "Now," Aldo pulled a rusting, dusty chair by your side, "Tell us what you can. Who you was runnin' from, where they are, where you needa be goin'." "Please...They have my sister." Hirschberg set his gun down, and asked, "Emmeline?" 'Emmeline.' Now you remembered the moment the basterds found you. You nodded, "She's my twin." Donny looked to Aldo, "You sure general didn't say anything about a sister?" You shook your head, "She's not in France. Father keeps her locked up in Germany. She's been outspoken against everything father is from the moment we knew who he really was." "Your father, does he know about...this?" "That I'm a traitor? Undoubtedly by now." You grinned slightly with satisfaction, wondering what his reaction could have been. Aldo couldn't wrap his head around it. "Why did they hurt you? How did they find out?" "Well.... They still don't know I'm working with the resistance. They think it was an isolated incident." "What incident?" Donny asked what everyone was thinking. "I work in a science lab..." That was an understatement. You were a genius, and you were being exploited in the nazis' attempts to build a nuclear weapon. "I sabotaged a very important project, and destroyed the plans and data." You had a chemical burn on your forearm to prove it. "What kinda plan?" Aldo asked, genuinely curious. Whatever it was would definitely be of interest to the OSS. "A nuclear bomb." There was a heavy silence blanketing the room, and you said, "I set them back at least a year. Two or three if they don't find me. Even if they do, I'll do it again, even if it kills me." "What do you mean two or three if they don't find you?" Aldo asked, and Utivich nodded, "Yeah...what's so special they got to find you for that?" You sighed, and explained, "I don't just work there. I am the project... Everything that was in those plans, it's here." You raised your throbbing, bruised arm to your temple, "I sabotaged every step of the way, but this time, they were too close to solving the puzzle. I had to destroy all of it." "So they tried to kill you?" You nodded, "They didn't even report me to anyone. They got the guards to do it. But I got away..." "What happens if they find you?" "Nothing anymore. My father probably has worse things in store." "Father?" That struck Aldo, "You don't even call him...whatever the German word for dad is?" You scoffed, "Hans Landa is the last thing a father could ever be like." You shook your head, "The only reason why I pretended to go along with all this was because if I didn't, he would murder my sister," Your eyes lowered to the ground, and your voice shook with rage and sorrow, "He would murder Emmeline." In that moment, the basterds were outraged. Aldo, however, was speechless. His blood was boiling. His heart broke, wondering how a man could even think of killing his own child. How could a man blackmail one daughter for the life of the other? The answer was simple. That man had to be a nazi. These were some of the things that made Aldo wonder how cruel life could really be. For years and years, he and his wife would have given anything for even a chance of having a little one running around. And to see someone so horribly mistreat their own children? Aldo reckoned the only solution to that would be to have that man's scalp. Wicki changed some of your bandages, and checked again for signs of internal injuries. You answered a few more questions, and managed to eat a few bites, and then fell back asleep. The basterds filed out, and Hirschberg asked, "So what now?" Aldo shook his head, "Wait till we hear from the general again." And they did. It took a few days, but in that time, you softened the basterds' hearts. Even Hugo's. He shushed Smitty and Omar when they were being too loud and you were resting. Out of the basterds, Aldo was the most worried about you. Especially after he finally heard back from the general. "We gotta hand Y/n over to the resistance." Hirschberg, who had spent the most time with you, was the most intrigued with you. It was nice to talk to someone just about his age, who wasn't a total basterd. Besides, it wasn't everyday he met a bonafide genius. He just liked talking with you. And he was going to miss you... Which prompted him to answer with a more agressive tone than he meant, "What do they want with her?!" Aldo sighed, "They're sending Y/n back to the nazis." Donny didn't even bat an eyelash, "Oh so it's a suicide mission. Isn't that just dandy?" Hugo nodded, being fully acquainted with the ways that nazis met traitors, he wasted no time in telling the truth. "He's right. They'll kill her." Aldo shook his head. If he knew the nazis would kill you, he would never have agreed to the terms. "The resistance has a man on the inside. He says the nazis that hurt y/n were executed on her father's orders. Says her old man's got some power," He looked around, then said, " 'parently he's called in favors, and got Y/n off the hook. Passing it all off as some teenage rebellion. Resistance needs Y/n to stay as an informant, and are gon’ give her back to the nazis. Her father's sending for her, back to Germany." You were standing by the doorway. It was the first time you managed to get up. "He will lock me up. Away from Emmeline. Away from anyone and everything that I truly know or care for." You sighed, and said, "That is, until the scientists start falling too far behind in their plans. They will send for me again in time. And I will do all over again."
Aldo looked at you, and his heart stopped thinking about all the things they would do if you were caught again. Would they sentence you to die by a firing squad? Would they just torture you and hide you away until there was nothing left to do? Would your father actually kill Emmeline just to get to you? "Look kid...when you get home. Deny it. Deny everything your dad says he knows. You don't tell 'em you were with no resistance, and you ain't gon' tell 'em 'bout us. Even if he knows everything that you know, don't say nothin'." You smirked, "I know." Something about that smirk was heartbreaking. It was a telltale sign that you'd played these games before.
**** Days passed, and you all waited in the hideout until someone from the French resistance contacted the basterds. You were leaving the next morning. Hirschberg was sitting with you as you both talked about nothing. Aldo walked in, and you and Hirschberg smiled at each other, and then looked away. Aldo came to say goodbye. His heart hurt because every step was decided by the resistance, There was no mother worrying about you, and no father to know best. Different governments were using you, a kid, as a pawn against each other. Aldo wouldn't be surprised if it got you killed some day... But there was nothing more he could do.
Hirschberg left, after hearing Omar and Donny beginning to argue about baseball again. Aldo stayed with you. He was more of a boxing type of guy anyway. You were both silent for a while, then you shook your head, "What if I crack...What if I am just a coward..." "No you ain't. You're just a kid goddamnit." He looked at you, and you saw something in his eyes you never saw in those of your father: Worry. "When you go tomorrow, you promise me you gon' stay safe." He handed something over to you. It was his knife. He wrapped your fingers around the knife's handle, "You gon' stay safe..." "They won't kill me, Aldo. I know too much." That was what Aldo was worried about... But he smiled softly, and started heading to the door. "Get some sleep, kid."
"Goodnight!" He smiled again, "Goodnight, kid..." You didn't sleep. You looked at the ceiling, wondering what would happen...  Before you knew it, it was morning. The basterds and double agents were hiding around as the exchange was made. Resistance fighters posing as nazis handed you over to real nazis, one of which you recognized as Dieter Hellstrom. He gripped you by the back of your shirt, and muttered "Du warst zum letzten Mal ein Schmerz im Arsch, Y/n." "You've been a pain in my ass for the last time Y/n." You looked at the car window, and saw a face that could have been your reflection looking back. "Emmeline..." Your voice almost broke in tears and laughter of joy, but she did not reciprocate. She shook her head softly. Her cheeks were stained with tears. Dieter swung the door open. You felt the cool press of his luger behind your neck as her shoved you into the car, "Keine Spiele." "No games." Before Dieter climbed in, Emmeline whispered in desparation and guilt, "Du hättest nicht zurückkommen sollen. Du warst frei..." "You shouldn't have come back. You were free." ***ONE YEAR LATER***
That car drive was the last time you saw Emmeline for a year. She was locked again in the empty old house surrounded by cold loneliness, deprived of ink, and any lose pieces of paper.
Her ideas and her words were too dangerous to find their way to the allies. You were sent away to a laboratory in Munich, where you did your best to set them back, though you did not have any reliable contacts to pass all the information on to. One year passed, and you were brought back to France. You were put in an empty room, with two evening gowns you could only have imagined seeing on the likes of someone like Bridget von Hammersmarck. There was a box of jewelry that belong to the mother you never knew. And there was Emmeline. You threw your arms around each other, sobbing, and trying to find words to even begin, but a guard beat his gun against the door, and barked orders for you to be silent and get dressed. Your father had appearances to keep up. What for, you wouldn't know until you arrived at a small cinema named Le Gamaar. You understood now, recognizing all the biggest faces in the high command. Of course they'd be expecting to see Hans Landa's brilliant daughters: The ever profound writer Emmeline, and the mathematical prodigy Y/n. An unstoppable duo... Your father knew that, so the moment you arrived at the cinema, he made sure you were separated. The more seconds passed, and the more nazis you recognized, the more hope you lost. With every moment that passed, the end of the war seemed further and further away. The outcome appeared bleaker and bleaker with every poster of Stolz der Nation that you saw. It was then that you spotted something that made your heart beat again. Sergeant Donny Donowitz and Private Omar Ulmer were heading into the theater. You quickly looked around, and saw Lieutenant Aldo Raine in a flashy white suit. You couldn't help but grin, knowing he was definitely up to something... And... Apparently so was Frau von Hammersmarck? You were shocked, but...then who wouldn't be? Still, you knew there had to be a bigger meaning behind it all, and bounded down the steps. Suddenly you saw your father speaking to Aldo, and pulling Bridget von Hammersmarck away. Your heart stopped...you knew the look in your father's cold, cruel eyes. It was the same look when he solved any case he was given, or when he learned the truth about you or your sister. It was that look: Impressed that you'd made it so far, and somehow, so accusive. He knew everything. He'd known all along. The moment he disappeared with Frau von Hammersmarck, you rushed to Aldo as quickly as you could without kicking up any unecessary attention. You spoke in a long thread of words, wihtout taking a breath, trying to explain it all at once. Aldo raised his eyebrow, trying to keep it all underwraps, "Hey, hey it's alright kid. It's all gonna be alright." "You don't understand! Y-" He was afraid if anyone heard either of you spoeaking in English, the plan would be ruined. "Come on," He led you outside, to an alley, where Smitty and Hirschberg were hiding out. "I need you to go, Y/n. Take your sister, and go. Run away." Smitty shook his head, "They won't get far, Aldo. Someone's going to notice." "I'm not letting Y/n and Emmeline stay in there. They deserve a chance to get away." "Even if they ran away, and a nazi saw them, he'd bring them back here to their dad." Hirschberg spoke up, "I'll go with them." Aldo looked at Hirschberg, his youngest soldier, and a damn good basterd. So much so, he not only lied about his age to join the military, but he was so good at it, he even convinced the OSS years ago, If any of the basterds could keep you safe, it was Hirschberg. Aldo looked at you, and knew you and Emmeline deserved a chance. "I'm goin' back inside before Landa realizes I'm gone. Utivich, stick to the plan, and cover for Hirschberg. Son, you and Y/n find Emmeline, and get the hell outta here, you understand?" Hirschberg saluted Aldo, understanding the implications of Operation Kino, and knowing it may be the last time he saw any of the basterds, "Yes, sir." He and Utivich hugged, after being the closest thing to brothers they had, and went their ways. You looked at Aldo, and  spoke softly, "Thank you, Aldo." He chuckled, and told you what he told you a year ago, "You promise me you gon' stay safe." Last time, you had leverage, and could not be killed. Now, there was a kill on sight order if you were spotted anywhere but in Le Gamaar.  You lied to Aldo, to keep him assured, "They won't kill me, Aldo. I know too much." He smiled softly, and looked at the sky. For a moment, he wasn't in France, he was back in Maynardville, Tennessee, looking back up at that same sky with his wife, Maggie. Aldo would've killed to have a daughter like you and Emmeline, and spend his life with that kid and his wife back in Tennessee, but life was cruel and absurd that way... He shook his head, and for a moment, you could have sworn you saw a glimmer in his eyes, like that of a tear as he said, "Goodnight, kid." You all went you ways, and you snuck Hirschberg into the theater. As the two of you glided through the crowds that were heading into the theater, he slipped his hand into yours. You glanced back, and saw that  a guard was looking at you. You smiled at the guard, and he smiled back, and quickly looked away. Hirschberg smirked at you, and the two of you rushed up the stairs. He blushed as he quickly tried to explain himself, "....It's more convincing this way." You smiled, "I suppose so..." You looked at each other for a moment, smiling as if you'd just fooled the world. Just then you spotted your father leaving a room that was off to the side. "There!" As soon as the coast was clear, you and Hirschberg hurried to the room. You froze for a moment, seeing Bridget von Hammersmarck laying dead, in the middle of the floor. What's more, there was a nazi, aiming a gun at Emmeline. Emmeline was looking right at him, not even fazed. Just waiting. Landa wouldn't even do his own dirty work. You knew he wouldn't. But you wouldn't let anyone else hurt her. You disarmed the nazi, and shot him dead on the spot before Hirschberg could even get a step in. "Who taught you that?" You smirked, "A lady never tells." Emmeline looked up at you, as you pulled her out of the room. She smiled, "Better late than never, is that what people say?" Hirschberg glanced at you, though you didn't notice, as he smiled and nodded, "Yeah, better late than never..." ***Meanwhile*** Hans landa was sitting across from Aldo and Utivich "Well, let's just say she got what she deserved. And when you purchase friends like Bridget von Hammersmarck...you get what you pay for." "What'd you to to 'em kids, huh?" Aldo was glaring at Landa. He cackled, "Kids these days..." He held up a framed photograph that was on the edge of his desk. He was quite a few years younger in the picture, and standing with a woman, presumably his wife. There were two baby girls about a year old, wearing identical clothes, and bows in their hair, held by their mother. Landa smiled out of cynicism as he showed them the picture, "Just like their mother, those girls." He shook his head with a sigh, "If only they'd taken after me." He looked up with a grin, "It's not so easy to get rid of two of them... Especially when they're so well known." "What do you mean..." Smitty fell into the web of intrigue that Landa was weaving. Landa shrugged, "Well...Marie... My beautiful Marie," He sighed, as if in longing, as his fingertips traced the portrait of the woman. "She was brilliant," His expression changed. He gritted his teeth, and practically spat, "Too brilliant. And too empathetic." He shook his head, "I suppose, that's where Emmeline and Y/n get it from." He cackled again, "It's not so difficult to convince the world that an emotional, sweet, kind-hearted, lovely little thing like my dear Marie would just..." He snapped his fingers harshly, "Under the pressure of two babies, and after some post-partum depression? It wasn't so hard to convince everyone she fell into a pit of psychosis, and delusion as I was away, working long hours for a revolutionary political campaign." Aldo and Utivich could not believe what they were hearing. Hans Landa murdered his own wife because she knew of his early involvement with the nazi party. He sighed in lament, his thumb grazing over the old photograph, "And when she ran away with meine kleinen Lieblinge, my two little girls...She jumped into the Rhine in a delusional episode." He shook his head, and tsked “Tragic, really,” He looked up at the two basterds with a sly, telling smirk, "You drowned her?" Smitty shook his head, spoke quietly in disbelief. Hans smiled in acknowledgment, but went on with the tale that convinced even the most astute at the time of the murder, "She jumped...I couldn't stop her, my Marie." He sighed as he tapped his finger lightly over the two babies in the picture, "Fortunately, I was able to swim out and save meine kleinen Lieblinge..." He sighed, "But they choose not to save their poor papa's heart now." Even with his charade, his hands shook in fury, and he slammed the frame down on the desk. The glass shattered, and he went on, "So you see, Aldo. It is far more difficult to convince the world that two young, brilliant girls like Emmeline and Y/n have simply gone mad, and drowned in the Rhine. All these years, I've had to fabricate plans to keep them in line." He scoffed, "I suppose that's the price of being a single father, isn't it?" He stood up, and shrugged "But I know when I'm beat, lieutenant. And if I come to stand before a tribunal, the first thing they would have been told was that I murdered my daughters. Instant death sentence. Even if I did come to make a deal with your general. Correct?" Aldo didn't know exactly how to play the game, so he just followed along, "I suppose so..." "But! If...per se...Emmeline and Y/n burned with al the other nazis, that's how they will be remembered by the world. As nazis. Killed in the OSS' plot against the nazi regime, without an ounce of guilt in my conscience." Utivich spat, "You're a monster." "Oh please, Private Utivich. We all have appearances to keep." All the while, you, Emmeline, and young private Hirschberg were lurking around outside of the building. "We can get access into the building, just play along." Emmeline pulled you and Hirschberg in through the front doors. "Isn't Y/n like...your dad's number one enemy?" You rolled your eyes, "Oh please, he's had me reduced to a bratty teen with a rebellious streak in order for him to save face." "Sh," Emmeline turned and you were both silent. She greeted a few guards. The guards, like every other nazi stationed in Paris, were ordered to kill you and Emmeline if you were spotted outside of the cinema, but...you both carried yourselves with such confidence, and looked so innocent, the guards wondered if there was a change in orders, and let you on your way. She ordered the guards to clear away, citing a need to speak to her father urgently. The three of you stood outside the door, listening in as Landa and Aldo struck a deal with the brass. You all heard Aldo conclude the deal, "Yes sir..." Then, he, Utivich, and Landa were uncomfortably silent for a moment. Aldo played dumb, "So you're really willing to let the whole high command burn?" "I've made the deal, haven't I, Aldo?" Aldo really couldn't believe it. The will power that man needed to not strangle Landa in that moment was immeasurable. "That includes your own daughters?" Landa shrugged, "Sacrifices must be made for the greater good. Besides, they were always troublemakers." Utivich shook his head, "They're fucking heroes! Emmeline's been writing speeches and documents exposing Hitler, you, and everyone else in that theater! Y/n's been sabotaging scientists and-" "None of that matters, private Utivich." Landa smirked, knowing his plans had all come into place. "The world will know them only as former nazi's daughters, who burned at the premier of Nation's Pride. A writer and a scientist, burning along with the nazi high command. Now, how do you think history books will read that?" You and Emmeline glanced at each other outside the door, and nodded without a word. You both started to head back outside. Hirschberg shook his head, and whispered, "Hey! I'm not a twin, I don't know what you're fucking thinking!" You looked at Emmeline, "To the allied lines?" She nodded with a smirk, "To the allied lines." Hirschberg frowned, and looked between you and Emmeline a few times, "To the allied lines?!" *** Aldo was standing face to face with Hans Landa. Utivich was scalping Herman. "But I do have one question. When you get to your little place on Nantucket Island, I imagine you gon' taken off that handsome-lookin' SS uniform. Aint'cha?" Hans Landa, for once in his life, looked absolutely terrified.
"That's what I thought...Now that I can't abide." Aldo didn't realize Landa wasn't just terrified about what was to happen. "How about you Utivich? Can you abide it?" Utivich didn't look up, "Not one damn bit, sir." "I mean...if I had my way, you'd wear that uniform for the rest of your pecker-suckin' life..." It as then, that Aldo realize Landa wasn't looking at him. He was shaking, and sweating, and looked as though he'd seen a ghost. Two, in fact. Aldo looked back, and jumped a little, though...he was relieved, as he chuckled "Well I'll be damned..." Landa whispered, "Meine kleinen Lieblinge..." "Talk. Now." Emmeline muttered, standing by your side. He tilted his head, in disbelief, and tried to find some words. All he could say was "P-please...." Hirschberg leaned against a tree and chuckled, "You gonna have to try harder than that, colonel." Landa stuttered, "Ich bin dein Vater, nicht wahr?" "I'm your dad, aren't I?" You shook your head, as you raised a gun, "You are not." Landa shook his head in desparation, "No...no! Please!" He looked back at Aldo, begging, "I made a deal. You said so yourself! The OSS wants me alive." Emmeline tugged at your arm, "Y/n...put the gun down." You shook your head. She begged, "You are many things, Y/n...but you will not stoop down to his level. If you kill him, the OSS will go after you. That's what he wants..." You looked to Emmeline, and her face was stained with tears again, like the day she asked why you came back, when you were free. You looked at Landa, the man that could never be a true father. There were other ways to be free. You looked at Emmeline...You couldn't let anyone separate you from her again, even if it meant Landa got to walk away. "You wanted us to burn, and be remembered as something we are not." The gun clicked Emmeline turned to you, whispered a desparate "No!" But you were a step ahead of the game this time. You put the gun away, and stepped toward Aldo. You handed him his knife, which he'd given to you a year before. "But you will be known for what you really are." Landa looked at you, with wide, terrified eyes, "Y/n...liebling, no...don't do this..." Aldo smirked, "Thank you, kid..." He looked back at Landa, "I'm gon' give you a little sum' you can't take off."
You and Emmeline watched as Aldo and Smitty peered over his final, writhing, screaming, blood-stained masterpiece. Somewhere along the line, Hirschberg slipped his hand into yours... Both of you looked at each other, blushed, and turned away. ***ONE YEAR LATER*** The basterds were meeting up at Aldo's cabin, up in the Smoky Mountains. When they went their ways at the end of the war, they promised to meet up at least once a year. Wicki moved around a lot, but he made it. Hugo moved to a quiet, small town in the Pacific Northwest. Donny went back to Boston. The rest of the boys were scattered around the east coast...except for Hirschberg who moved to California for college, and was teasingly called a traitor. It had been a year, and Aldo and Maggie Raine were setting up for the party. Aldo insisted on having a big barbecue, as a call back to Le Gamaar. You and Emmeline helped set up. After the war, after everything you and Emmeline went through, Aldo took you both under his wing. Maggie was smiling, and Aldo asked, "Now what's all this 'bout darlin'?" She smiled, "Y/n is thinkin' of goin' back to school." "Back? Ain't much else they can teach the kid!" Aldo chuckled as he set up the grill, and Maggie shook her head, "No, she wants to be a science teacher." Aldo grinned, "Really?" He sighed, "That ain't so bad. She gon' get to go down to town every day, maybe get to know the people more. It'll be good for her." Maggie nodded, with a soft sigh and a smile. She loved you and Emmeline as if you were her own daughters, just as Aldo did. She worried about you two in the beginning, seeing how much you had gone through just to survive, and worried you wouldn't be able to adjust. But, time was beginning to help. Maggie saw you and Emmeline laughing together in the distance, as you arrived from the butcher shop in the town. "Lord knows they was scared half to death. Them babies deserve every moment of sunshine life has to offer 'em." Aldo nodded with a sigh, "I know darlin'. I know..." Maggie cleared her throat, "Y'know...Emmeline's been goin' down to Mr. Kronberg's malt shop a lot." "Well shit, Maggie. They got some damn good vanilla shakes there, I don't blame her. She likes the jukebox, too." He chuckled, remembering that was the first place he and Maggie showed you and Emmeline. Maggie nodded, "Uh-huh, well...she also likes Mr. Kronberg's boy, David." Aldo sighed, "They grow up so fast, don't they, Maggie?" She sighed, "I suppose they do..." He chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Well, I better take 'em beers in to the ice box." He picked up a case, and started to walk inside, but slipped on a step. You called out, "Dad look out!" You and Emmeline ran over to help him up, while Maggie stood by with a teary smile. Aldo looked up at you and Emmeline. He didn't mind the broken bottles, "You called me dad..." He got up, smiling wider than you'd ever seen before, "You called me dad!" Just then, you heard a car pulling up in the front of the house, and familiar arguing encompassing slamming doors. Donny and Omar were still fighting about  baseball. ‘Some things don't change,’ Aldo sighed, and he looked at you and Emmeline, 'But some things do...' That was life. Things changed, before, during, and after the war. Now that it was all over, and he was back up his Smoky Mountains, back with the wife he loved so much, his cabin didn't change much while he was gone. But now, they had you and Emmeline. It was a little louder than it used to be, but life was beautiful again. Aldo smirked, "That Hirschberg I see?" "Where?!" Aldo chuckled,"A-ha! I knew it!" You were clearly flustered, after having denied there was anything between you and Hirschberg for a year. Aldo chuckled, "Well, now, kid...As your dad, now I have to embarass you." "You really don't." He smiled, as he opened the door, "Well...Them’s the rules." and he watched Hirschberg basically run the rest of the basterds down as he raced to the door. Aldo looked back at you, "You gon' tell me to look at that boy's face, and tell me I'm wrong?" Maggie rolled her eyes as she and Aldo wrapped their arms around each other. "Don't you go snoopin' around them kid's lives, now." "I won't, I won't! Not all the time..." You and Emmeline laughed, and you all went outside to meet with the basterds. As you and Hirschberg looked at each other with quiet smiles, and blushes, you knew that didn't change. But when you looked back at Aldo, you smiled, knowing sometimes, change was good. You looked at him, at Maggie, and at Emmeline. You had a home now, and nothing could change that.

Could you do a tmnt + Casey+ April where their girlfriend has a big bust and she wears button up shirts there’s a gap between the fabric and they can see her bra? (Tmnts respective colors)
A/N: Oh my 😏 By the way this was the one that got deleted and I‘m sorry, it may not be as good as the original version.
Pairings: LeoxReader, RaphxReader, DonniexReader, MikeyxReader, AprilxReader, CaseyxReader
Warnings: light smut? xD, mentions of underwear (if that’s a warning lol), nosebleed
**********
Leonardo
color: blue
Oh my god, Leo would try so hard not to stare at you. It was pure torture to the poor boy, since he liked every inch of your body so much. When he realized that you also wore his color, it was over. Leo couldn’t contain his inner animal anymore as he threw you over his shoulder and got to his bedroom with you. Prepare for some punishment for teasing him.
Raphael
color: red
Raph would definitely try not to stare, but he’d fail miserably. This view is just too welcoming for him and I think he wouldn’t even care if someone else was with you in the room. He‘d try to end the conversation you‘d have as quick as possible, just to guide you to his bedroom. The fact that you were wearing his color got him really excited and he now wanted to show you the only thing he liked you wearing more than this bra: nothing.
Donatello
color: purple
Instant blushing incoming!!! When Donnie saw your bust, his face turned red in not even a second and he maybe even would start to get a nosebleed. Of course he wouldn’t tell the truth on why his nose was suddenly bleeding, but he’d say it’s because of the dry air. For the next few minutes (or hours) he wouldn’t even look at your direction anymore. He‘d be too shy to do so, since he didn’t want to stare at you.
Michelangelo
color: orange
Mikey would definitely make a comment about his view like: „Wow, babe. I see you‘re wearing my color? Orange definitely suits you.“ He wouldn’t care if someone was in the room with him and you, everyone knew about Mikey’s flirtatious personality anyway, so why hiding it? He‘d also tease you a bit with that scenario, even days later. He’s a mean little fella if he wants to be, but don’t worry. You‘ll have plenty of opportunities to revenge yourself.
April
color: yellow
April would take small looks to confirm her sighting. But she internally got really excited when she realized that you were wearing her favorite color! She wouldn’t stare at you though and there also wouldn’t be a comment until you both got to bed at night. She’ll remind you on how she sees everything and that she liked what she saw.
Casey
color: black
Staring? Check. Comment? Check. Grinning like an idiot? Check. Wow, Casey would be the „worst“ of all of them. He’d be a combination of Raph and Mikey and no matter if you two would be alone or not, there would be a lot of staring and some comments involved. He‘d also proudly point out „his territory“ as he calls it to Raphael, just to make him jealous and show everyone you’re his. Yeah, he‘d be a pretty big asshole, but you‘ll love him anyway, right?

CHAPTER 22
Tumblr media
ROCKY
 I was cold real cold and I couldn’t move nothing would move but I could hear voices talking, talking to me but I couldn’t answer.
“Ma’am hang in there we’re going to get you out can you hear me squeeze my hand if you can hear me” someone said I tried my best to squeeze his hand. “I feel a small squeeze she can hear me”
“Her name is Rocky Raquel” a voice said
“You know her?” someone asked
“Yes she’s my friend” the voice said I couldn’t put a name to the voice.
“Raquel we are going to get you out of there just stay with me okay hold on” they said I’m holding what happen then everything went black again.
“Raquel, Raquel can you hear me? We’re going to take good care of you here” another voice said I felt real cold I couldn’t open my eyes for nothing in the world all I could do was listen to the voices around me.
“Get her to the ER run a CT scan on her make sure she don’t have Internal Bleeding .” The voice said I was rushed somewhere then everything went black again.
I could hear voices again but still couldn’t open my eyes but I was glad I could hear people talking again. And I could make out who’s voice was who’s.
“Will she be okay?” my mom said mommy I want to talk to my mother.
“Yes she will she has concussion and 3 bruised ribs, no bleeding on the brain or any internal bleeding, no brain swelling and a hairline fracture head injury a few lacerations as you can see she has whiplash but no spinal cord damage” the doctor said
“But she has on a neck brace will she need to keep wearing that?” my mom asked
“For now yes she will need to keep the brace on to keep her neck and spinal cord in place. Neck injuries can be painful and require weeks of physical therapy, her vital signs are stable and strong.” the doctor said
“Why is she still out I don’t understand” my mom said I felt her touch my hand.
“Raquel has had a major contusion to her head. But her brain activity is normal, and she has no cerebral swelling. She'll wake when she's ready. Just give her some time” the doctor said I try in vain to move my hand. Nothing moves, nothing responds.
Unconsciousness claims me once more, stealing me away from the pain.
Everything is heavy and aching: limbs, head, eyelids, nothing will move. My eyes and mouth are resolutely shut, unwilling to move, leaving me blind and mute and aching. As I surface from the fog, consciousness hovers, a seductive siren just out of reach. Sounds become voices.
“I'm not leaving her.” Donnie says
Donnie! He's here . . . I will myself to wake - his voice is strained, an agonized whisper.
“There’s nothing you can do for her now go home get some sleep” my mom says
“I’m good I’m not leaving her side I can't”
“I know but what are you going to do sit here all night until they kick you out again and you just wait in the waiting room until visiting hours start again” my mom said
“Yes if I have too I’m not going so you might as well save your breath”
The fog closes in.
The fog lifts but I have no sense of time.
“I shouldn’t have made the plans to go out it’s my fault huh?” Jada asked
“It’s not your fault wanting to hang out with your friends” my mom says
“Yea”
“She said you was texting her that night?” Jada said
“I think I was I was drunk that night and was drunk texting when I came too I reread what I was texting her, I hope it wasn’t my fault that she got like this”
“No Mia said she didn’t have her phone out she said she wasn’t going to look at your text until she got home” my mom says.
“All I texted her while I was drunk it how--” I fight the fog . . . fight . . . But I spiral down once more into oblivion. No . . .
“I was there when the truck hit her I couldn’t believe it I called 911 and waited until they got there could you believe it a drunk driver he got out thinking he didn’t hit nothing cops locked his ass up right then and there, she lucky to be alive the way her car looked” Mia said
“Yea well let me be alone with ole boy for a few minutes I'll make him wish he was the one in the hospital and not her.”
“Yea well I need to go are you going to go home and shower or something?” Mia asked
“No I don’t wanna leave her side plus Lisa said she’ll be back so maybe I will catch a few ZZs when she gets here”
I try. I try. I want to see him. But my body disobeys me, and I fall asleep once more.
 I have a pressing need to pee. I open my eyes. I'm in the clean, sterile environment of a hospital room. It's dark except for a sidelight, and all is quiet. My head and my chest aches, but more than that, my bladder is bursting. I need to pee. I test my limbs. My right arm smarts, and I notice the IV attached to it on the inside of my elbow. I shut my eyes quickly. Turning my head - I'm pleased that it responds to my will - I open my eyes again. Donnie is asleep, sitting beside me and leaning on my bed with his head on his folded arms. I reach out, grateful once more that my body responds, and run my fingers through his soft hair. He's startled awake, raising his head so suddenly my hand falls weakly back onto the bed.
“Hi”
“Rocky your awake hi, let me go get the nurse”
“Wait don’t leave me”
“I'll push the button for the nurse” he pushes the button.
Intercom “Yes” nurse says
“She’s awake”
Intercom “Okay here I come” nurse says
“I’m so happy to see you”
“Same here”
“We got a lot to talk about you drunk text me”
“I did and I wanna talk about that” the nurse came in.
“Hey Raquel how do you feel?” the nurse asked as she helped me sit up.
“I’m sore all over and I have to pee”
“Okay I can help you with that Donnie can you gives us a moment please” the nurse said
“You’ll get me once you’re done?”
“Yes close the door when you go out” the nurse says
“Okay” he took my hand and kissed it then left the room closing the door behind him.
After used a bedpan which was horrible felt like I was peeing on myself and was checked out and removed the neck brace she then opened the door and Donnie came back in and the nurse left saying the doctor will be in shortly to talk to me.
“Hey” he took my hand and kissed it “I was so scared when I got the call you was in a car crash I felt like my world had stopped and now that you’re ok it had started again”
“I, there’s so much I wanna say to you but I don’t know where to start”
“Start from the beginning”
“I have one important question”
“Okay?”
“Do you have a girlfriend cause Sammie said she saw you out on date with your girlfriend”
“No I don’t have a girlfriend that was just a friend I made through Maurice she has a man she wanted to hang out cause she was mad at him, Stacey is not my girl” he pulled his phone out I don’t know who he was going to call or how long we have together where we can talk so I need to start talking now.
“I just wanted to….. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the pain I caused you. I’m really sorry for my part in it. But mostly I’m sorry because I miss our friendship. And however far off it may be, I look forward to the day that we can be friends again" he looked up at me putting his phone away. "You mean so much to me and I know I go from 0 to 1000 with you and I’m working on myself. I don’t want what we have to be lost and broken. But I love you I do so fucking much" few tears fell and I looked at him, he stood up I didn’t want him to leave so I pulled him. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him down to me, in a hug burying my face in his neck, now crying. 
“Raquel”
"Adonis please I’m sorry for what I did to you. And baby I’m in love you in every way I’m in love your heart, I’m in love your body and soul I’m in love your hugs, I’m in love your kisses. I’m in love with your smile, I’m in love your laugh, I’m in love with your love, and I’m in love with the way care. It’s funny how big of an impact you have on me. It’s like when I see you, you don’t even have to speak…all you can do is smile, and it can make my day, and then that’s how I remember my reasons for loving you. I miss you when something really good happens, because you’re the one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you’re the one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry, because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow, and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you the most when I lay awake at night, and think of all the wonderful times that we spent with each other for those were some of the best and most memorable times of my life." I held on to him for a while then I finally broke the hug letting my hands touch his face, travel down his neck, chest, stomach, and they landed on his waist. I looked up into his eyes, his face was emotionless, I couldn’t read him I didn’t know what else to say or do right now. I then felt his hand slowly go up my back, to the back of my neck and he pulled me forward towards him. He then kissed me, on the lips, slowly his hand touched my face. As he kissed me like he never did before and I loved it.

This one is for you and asshat!
Vicky huddled in the corner. The farthest part of the room she could reach to get away from him. Her face full of pain, fear, anger. 
She lost count of the days she had spent in this prison, far under the streets of the city above. How long she had been stripped of her freedom, her independence. 
Her life. 
Closing her eyes, the tears began to fall. She didn’t want to live anymore. She didn’t want to be his plaything. There was nothing she could do, but cry quietly in the corner. Again. He was coming.
Now I will tell you what I've done for you Fifty thousand tears I've cried Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you And you still won't hear me
(I'm going under)
Earlier
Vicky ate her meal. Tasting nothing. Her movements on autopilot as she stilled a hunger she didn’t feel. Her eyes only raising when another individual entered the room. Internally, she winced. It was Raphael. And he was eyeing her as he walked by. She knew what was going to happen next.
Normally, she didn’t fight back. That was his domain to remind his brothers who was allowed to fuck his woman. Why he chose her, Vicky didn’t understand. But she was somewhat grateful that she was his and not Raph’s. Raphael honestly terrified her. At least he could be gentle.
When he wanted to be.
Vicky swallowed hard, her hand gripping her mug of hot tea tightly. Raph was coming closer, she could feel it. His almost animalistic presence. And then his large hand as he spun her around.
“You’re mine.” He almost snarled at her. “I don’t give a shit what he says!”
Fear gripped her, the tightest since she had been brought to this hell hole. And that fear prompted her to react. An almost dormant instinct that had been buried under his promises, and threats. 
Fight or flight.
Vicky snarled at the large turtle, and her hand snapped forward, throwing her hot tea right into that red masked face. 
Raph let her go with an angry cry, and she didn’t hesitate, her hip long hair trailed behind her as she scrambled to her feet and ran.
But to where. The whole place was one endless hell. One she wanted to escape from so bad.
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself Maybe I'll wake up for once Not tormented daily defeated by you Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom I'm dying again
She ran. Trying to find some place to hide. To escape the wrath that she knew would fall upon her. She had dared to strike out at one of them.
It was against the rules. He punished for breaking the rules....
“Damn it!” Vicky whimpered. She could still hear Raph screaming bloody murder behind her. Mikey coming to check, and Donnie coming to tend.
But she didn’t hear him.
And her fear grew.
He would punish her. And she would cry again. She always cried.... Vicky was so tired of crying.
I'm going under, (going under) Drowning in you, (drowning in you) I'm falling forever, (falling forever) I've got to break through, I'm going under
She hid in the bathroom. Barricading the door behind her with anything she could find. It wasn’t much. And it was nowhere near enough.
There was only silence. She strained to hear him coming. But knew she never would.
The sound of the door being kicked open was thunderous in the still bathroom. He strode in, his piercing blue eyes finding her immediately. There was nowhere to hide. 
“You attacked my brother.” His voice was deceptively calm as he came closer. His long legs closing the distance much too quickly for Vicky’s liking. She flinched and drew back into her corner. The fight in her that had briefly resurfaced, now being tamed by his presence. She couldn't’ win against him.
She could never win against him. And she had tried. So many times she had tried.
He crouched down next to her, his hand reaching out calmly to hold a strand of hair, playing with it, toying with it. Vicky hated that she couldn’t stop him.
“You know there are penalties for doing that.” 
She just nodded silently. Refusing to meet his eyes.
Roughly she was grabbed by her upper arm and drug painfully to her feet.
“I should give you to him.” His tone was harsh. “Let him have his way with you as repayment. But I don’t need you dead. Since you aren’t pregnant yet, we are going to try and rectify that.” Then his tone went back to that deceptively calm tone. “Make it good for me, and maybe I’ll withhold punishment. Maybe.”
Vicky began trembling. She knew what was coming. He would dominate her, make her crave his touch. Make her beg for him. She hated him, but at the same time, her groin gave off a traitorous twinge. Already she was responding to him.
Tears began to form again.
Did she really hate him? Could she really be wanting this if she did? Vicky didn’t know anymore….
Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies So I don't know what's real and what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore I'm dying again
Her clothes were ripped off of her and she was thrown onto the bed. He took his time to disarm and disrobe. His burning blue eyes watching her. She avoided his gaze.
“Look at me.”
She closed her eyes.
A hand grasped her chin, and his voice almost snarled as he turned her head back around. “I said look at me!”
Her moist eyes opened. Her fight once more long gone as she accepted her fate. He was leering at her now, enjoying the power he held over her before he thrust her back and climbed over her.
He was not gentle this time.
I'm going under, (going under) Drowning in you, (drowning in you) I'm falling forever, (falling forever) I've got to break through, I'm
He rutted her like an animal. It bordered on pain. Vicky just bit her lip and took it, her body had already betrayed her. Going moist for him before he had even really gotten started. 
He was large, and filled her almost to bursting. Soon she found herself giving under him. Her muscles tightening as he forced her over the edge. Her scream was loud, frustrated and angry.
And the tears kept flowing. 
He didn’t care.
Vicky looked up at him. He wasn’t finished yet. He seemed almost, frustrated himself. But for obviously different reasons than hers. Her brown eyes looked deep into his. And something changed.
If this was to be her life, then she wasn’t going to just sit here and be an unwilling participant anymore. She would get some measure of her control back.
So go on and scream Scream at me I'm so far away I won't be broken again I've got to breathe I can't keep going under
She raised her head up, reaching a hand behind his head, and pulled his head down to her lips. He looked shocked for a moment, but seemed to let her take this small measure of control. That encouraged her more. Where she had just lain still before, her hips began to move with his. Inviting him in deeper, grinding against him as she let her own desire take control. Now a willing partner.
It was the only way, she began to realize. The only way to gain some control over her life. He was her captor, yes, but also her protector. She needed him if she was to survive here. Even if this was a shit life, she still didn’t want to die.
So, she gave herself to him. Fully. Eagerly.
And this time when she climaxed, she felt him pulsing as he released inside of her. Overflowing in her.
Before she would have rolled away from him. As far as she could get once he was done. Now, as he settled onto the mattress with heavy breathing, she dared to move closer. Dared to hold him. In her, a part of her died. The part that lived freely up on the surface world. This was her life now. And if she was forced to live it, she sure as hell wasn’t going to live it fear anymore.
Once she sorted that out, she began to feel something forming on her end. A connection that by all rights shouldn’t happen.
She was falling for him.
Falling for her captor, her abuser.
She was falling for Leo, and she didn’t care anymore.
I'm dying again I'm going under, (going under) Drowning in you, (drowning in you) I'm falling forever, (falling forever) I've got to break through, I'm going under Going under I'm going under
