How badly will the turtle boys freak out in your rising cloak AU when their magic starts developing (dere ninpo)

SO bad.

They'll only catch the bittiest bits and glimpses of it before Baron Draxum comes to play and the whole curtain gets ripped down, but... To the surprise of no one, Mikey is the first to start to develop any mystic abilities, (see, yoga does pay off!... kinda?) namely in the form of 'accidentally lighting a piece of paper into rather dramatic flames by accident one day while deeply focused on an art piece.' His brothers 1000% do not believe him (Raph, in fact, becomes VERY concerned that his littlest brother is secretly smoking and that this is all a cover story and, later on, tearfully presents a power-point about the danger of cigarettes...)

His dad doesn't really believe him, either, (maybe Mikey did just imagine it or something...? Donnie said there's gotta be a scientific explanation... He's testing for gas leaks as we speak,) but seems... Oddly concerned and forgiving of the whole thing. Mikey was expecting to get in trouble for the burn marks on his desk, but he... Doesn't? Which is weird. But he's sure not gonna complain about not getting grounded!!!

"Oh yeah? Well, at least Minitello will understand m--"

"Betrayal!"

For your grandpa Draxum AU it would be interesting if Casey Jr being sent back 2 years before the apocalypse started, caused more butterfly effects than Jr would ever be able to comprehend.

Off the top of my head, what if Casey going to repo mantis’s yard for scraps and materials for his builds causes Repo’s pet cat to be mutated first. So instead of Repo having a monster for a pet, he gets a cat for a kid.

Casey who had never met or been told about Mrs. Nubbins sees this and thinks that his makeshift uncle had lost his daughter towards the beginning of the apocalypse.

How well would he respond to that

Thank you for the question @tiredeternal !!! This one’s adorable!!! 🥺 And hilarious!!! 🤣

(For those who need context on the au)

This is the perfect opportunity to push my “Repo Mantis’s a regular yokai” agenda. As far as I remember we don’t see any proof of Repo Mantis pre-mutation, so my sister and me joke that he’s just a yokai who lives on the surface, that just hasn’t bothered on correcting anyone who assumes he’s mutant.

Casey Jr accidentally changing the timeline is a constant in this au (some seeds of that have already been placed in my other posts).

For Mrs.Nubbins to be mutated in to a human-car thing, she’d have to have consumed human is some way. So here’s my explanation: Casey Jr while digging for scraps gets bit by Mrs.Nubbins, Jr didn’t see what bite him but starts to panic. In the apocalypse the thing most likely to bite you would have been the Kraang Hounds so Casey Jr immediately leaves back to the lair to disinfect the bite out of a panicked habit.

As for Repo, he would question everything he knew if one day he saw his cat was now a kid. Cause he’s pretty sure he knows how kids are made, but now he’s beginning to have doubts. The stork stories might have some truth to them after all. He kinda accepts it, it’s still Mrs.Nubbins after all. Plus she’s adorable and could make costumers easier to deal with. You wouldn’t yell at someone about their business being a scam if they’re child’s right next to them would you?

It’s fricken hilarious imaging Mrs.Nubbins going from this to this:

 April 1934 - Alastor’s POV

The last moment he truly remembers before waking up in this unfamiliar place was staring into the face of his Angry ex-coworker as they leveled a pistol towards his face. 

Just a week prior to that event, that ex-coworker was caught by their boss screaming slurs at me for getting a pay raise that they wanted. 

Something that would have been met with a slap on the wrist had Donald not picked up that microphone, chucking it at my head. Luckily I dodged!

Sadly (for Donald) my boss didn’t.

But no one truly knows the fate that will greet them upon their entrance into the afterlife. 

I continue to lay down in a comfortable daze, gazing up at the ceiling painted like the night sky until a dainty hand rubs along my stomach. It’s when something within me kicks back that my chest fills with dread and panic.

. . .why . . . why is my stomach so distended!?!

Despite how tired I feel, I try to scramble away though I don’t get further than sitting up before I’m gently pushed back down as my benefactor Roo is now carefully caressing my shaky limbs. When she finally cups my face to turn my head towards her, I see?

                                                                 What is? Why?

The emotion imbedded deep within her eyes is indescribable.                unsettling

“Ah, the four months tending to you my sweet deer have finally yielded results, welcome back darling” she cooed in a honey sweet tone 

“They are certainly taking a lot out of you, not letting you wake up until they had eaten almost all of your sins.” she says in a increasingly giggly tone before going back to rubbing at my stomach.

 “Who knew that my magic would take our deal so literally. You need to not worry anymore about getting caught for it will be as if your sins shall forevermore be a person separate from you. Ooooh the euphoria of experiencing something pure and new after watching centuries of hellish cruelty is fueling me.” 

she takes a moment to breath as the edges of her body start collapsing into shadow “Once a long time ago I spent centuries doing my duty as the mother of humanity before I became this and now through magic i will get to experience the life of a father.” 

The painful truth of what is happening settles in my bones as the parasite within me squirms. Taking upon a somber disposition she hands me an ornate key that beholds a tree dotted with red eyes for fruit. Wrapped around it is a note. 

Slowly being pulled back into the fabric of Hell absentmindedly as her body is now nothing but shifting shadows and glowing eyes gives him no time to get a word in  

“If existence was fair I could stay by your side so instead i’m leaving you this forest territory. Don’t worry my darling deer should you survive giving birth your soul will return to you.“

All i can do is Watch with a detached numbness. 

When the Root of all evil had approached him, he should have known her deal no matter how beneficial for him in life, wouldn’t have devastating consequences in death.
