Mob April

[thechaoticgoblin]

Mob!Bay April Au

Greetings from the woods! I got asked by @spacelaceboy (thank you so much) how April fits in the Mob!AU and, I have to say, that's actually a pretty good question since I haven't really written much about her, BUT I am going to fix this IMMEDIATELY because my girl here needs a whole post of her own. (might or might not contain traces of Casey Jones too?)

so, April

as I said, Splinter used to be her pet when she was a child and she absolutely adored him.

I believe that, at the beginning, she wanted to become a scientist like her father but, once the fire in the lab and (lowkey) all the experiments that she had seen her father do to her poor pets (yes, she considered the four little turtles her pets as well, even though their eggs had been hatched in the lab), she decided against it.

Fast forward to her life as an adult,

April is a journalist, but she hasn't been able to prove herself to the media yet, and she is surrounded by sexist men who enjoy to bring her down way too much for her liking.

She was working on some research about the movements of the Foot Clan when she got wind of this new criminal clan rising, a certain Hamato Clan that was becoming more and more famous and that seemed to have been born out of nothing.

And of course Miss O'Neal, being her curious and nosy self, started to dig deeper into the case

Now, she is an amazing journalist and a very clever woman but she has the tendency to act impulsively and recklessly,

Long story short, she found herself witnessing a sort of weaponry exchange by the docks, and guess who was there

Raphael.

Now, she didn't know it was him (for obvious reasons), but seeing a huge turtle speaking russian with some men by the docks and assessing the weaponry that he was given, it sure was a peculiar sight to witness.

She waited to the side until the deal was concluded and then she followed Raphael and his men.

She saw him get inside a red sport car and she followed with her bike until she spotted the car again outside a quite known betting-house.

She got in, but to welcome her wasn't Raphael,

It was Donatello.

And of course the turtle recognised her, he had seen her on tv, after all.

The first thought he had was that this girl was a journalist sent to find proofs of the criminal business and he couldn't let her walk away after what she could or couldn't have witnessed,

So, he knocked her out and brought her to his little playhouse, where he kept all his precious toys.

Now, the idea was to interrogate her until she told him everythign, but, as mentioned in the previous post, nothing happens without Leonardo's say so.

And at the time Splinter was still alive, so Donnie had to ask him before taking any action

The old rat was MAD once he recieved the call and ordered his son to bring April to his office

And once there, Splinter apologised to her and told her all the story

The girl was too stunned to speak.

eventually she came to terms with it.

Now, (yes, I'm not over, sit back down)

A lot of people would believe that after what happened she wouldn't want to be involved with the whole criminal organisation, at all...

well, I don't.

April Is way too good at finding information and she has the advantage of being difficult to spot because she's human.

And even though Splinter would have preferred to ship her away to some island far away to keep her safe and avoid her involvement, he just couldn't help it,

because April was an adult and she had power and will to do anything she wanted

(and because she can't keep still for the love of her)

It took a while, but eventually she started working for the Clan.

It started very slow,

maybe she would sometimes ask Leo if there was anything she could do to help him or his brothers, but he would always refuse because he, like splinter, didn't feel like put her in situations that might get her in danger... not when she had a normal life to live, differently from them, who didn't have the luxury of a choice.

But she kept asking again,

and again,

and again, not just to him but to all his brothers too

In the end Leo thought that it couldn't be too dangerous for her to pass over some information from the police, also because, according to what they knew, she was currently seeing a certain detective, and she could get some intel from him.

Our girl did much more than that

She not only managed to gather some incredibly helpful information, but she also managed to bring her boyfriend, Casey Jones, to work for the clan so that he could pass the information directly into the higher ups of the criminal organisation.

Everyone was impressed, and even though Splinter didn't want to admit it, he found April to be quite a valuable asset.

So, even though a bit reluctantly on the old rat's side, April started to work for the organisation officially.

She has took a role under Raphael, mostly doing spying work or taking care of accounting and financial stuff that he wasn't very good at or didn't care of doing.

She unofficially also reports to Donnie from time to time if needed.

Splinter basically adopted her (unofficially), and has ever since referred to her as the daughter he never had, and made sure to reserve a quite impotant spot for her in his will.

Speaking of which, saying that April was heartbroken by Splinter's murder is an understatemrnt.

She was hurt and furious. the literal embodyment of women's rage, and had it been for her she would have walked right into the Foot's Headquarters and started a literal massacre,

but Leo stopped her in time to prevent a literal slaughter that would have brought the two clans to begin a war that everyone in the political world wanted to avoid.

But from that moment on April has been much more ruthless and colder than before.

Also, I dont think people mention it enough, but she's older than all four turtles, which she considers her brothers

Again, being fiercely loyal and devoted to both Splinter's legacy and her found family makes her extremely dangerous in the business, as well as a valuable asset that everyone respects and fear.

She's THE scary dog priviledge of the whole Clan

Which says a lot since she is surrounded by four mutant turtles, but somehow she's the scary one.

Oh and she also is very close with Raphael's girlfriend and his daughter.

April literally adores the little girl and has taken her job as badass aunt pretty seriously.

Overall she is just very protective of everyone in the Clan and she will defend the boys with body, mind and soul

But she can and will make sure they understand when they have made a mistake and will make them do anything in their power to fix it.

As mentioned, oldest sibling behaviour.

All that I put here are more of a personal list; stories that speaks of life lessons to the heart. Stories that speak of learning from pain and all that life gives you. Stories that hurt but confront you; stories that break you and mend you.
