Forgotten Bonds

2012!Donnie x Reader

Ngl I feel like this could almost be like a chapter in a series or something. I am way too addicted to the idea of 2012 Donnie and April’s sister. Also I honestly got a little lazy in the middle so don’t mind that.

Important facts about this Y/n: Is April’s younger sister. Knew the turtles from when she was young. Has a retractable yari. Was gifted a mask when she was young that matches the turtles and wears it as a bandanna.

Ragged breathing filled the silence in Shredder’s lair. Heavy footsteps clamped down one by one. Metal on metal, steel on stone.

“They have foiled my plans.” Clank clank.

“They destroyed my army.” Clank clank.

“They mutated my daughter!” Clank clank.

The stomping came to a halt as Shredder lifted his head, eyes burning. “We are going to kill those wretched turtles ONCE AND FOR ALL!”

“Master.” Tiger Claw stepped forward. “I understand your frustration but perhaps we should strategise, come up with a plan.”

“The plan has already been set.” Shredder huffed. “We attack in two days time. I want you three to hunt down the turtles and capture them alive. Ensure their weapons are left behind.”

“But Master Shredder. In case you have already forgotten, those four have proven to be crafty opponents. Even if we manage to find them they could still prove… difficult to apprehend.” Fishface pointed out.

Shredder gave a lowly chuckle and pulled out a vial. “That is why you’re going to inject them with this.”

“What is it?” Rahzar growled.

“A sleeping agent. Something I snatched from that Stockman ages ago. I’ve been waiting for the right time to use it.” He shook it in the air. “It will infect their very blood. Making them weak and slow. They won’t be able to fight back. According to my spies Yoshi was last seen running around the city. I will hunt him down personally and we will meet at these coordinates on the fourth floor.” Shredder handed Tiger Claw a piece of paper with an address scribbled down.

“There will be a cage for you to place the worthless mutants in.”

Fishface flinched and growled at Shredders choice of words.

“When I bring Hamato Yoshi.” Shredder continued. “I will force him to watch as his as I tear his sons apart limb from limb! He will suffer tenfold for what he has done to me!”

“Excellent plan master.” Tiger Claw stepped forward. “My only concern is what of their human allies?”

“Destroy them.” Shredder sighed. “All but the one in pink.”

“The little O’Neil girl? What do you want with her?” Fishface inquired prompting the armoured warrior to turn away.

“Karai was valuable. Too valuable. With her gone we have a gap in our forces. We could use another skilled kunoichi, especially one with inside information.” His eyes narrowed sharply.

“But she’s allied with the turtles. She’ll never leave them.” Rahzar argued.

“Then make her!” Shredder shouted. “I’m sure you’ll find the right form of persuasion.”

🌸Cue intro🌸

The sound of cheesy action music rang throughout the lair as another episode of Super Robo Mecha Force Five began to play.

“I knew it would only be a matter of time before our paths crossed again.” A girl dressed in purple with dark teal hair stepped onto the screen.

“Oh snap, look who it is.” Mikey nudged Leo’s arm. “The princesses younger sister.”

“I thought she was only in the first few episodes?” Donnie asked.

“Well she’s back now.” Raph remarked before getting a hand shoved in his face.

“Everyone shut up, we’re missing all the details.” Leo hushed as they all turned back to face the screen.

“Sister!” Princess cried. “It has been so long.”

“It certainly has.” The girl raised her voice. “You thought you could take my place and get away with it? Never!”

Princess stepped forward. “But sister, I do not understand, I took nothing from you.”

The girl gave an angry snarl. “Nothing? Nothing!? You took everything! You already bare our mothers crown and then you went and took the only thing that brought me joy!”

“I did not mean to.” Princess flinched back. “You were destroyed by those asteroids, we thought you did not survive.”

“Well you thought wrong.” The girl snapped.

“Please Princess Lionstar!” Captain Dash Coolstar walked forward. “Accept our apology, there is still room for you on Mighty Super Robo Mecha!”

Princess Lionstar cackled. “You think you can apologise and I will forgive you? Never! There is no place for me with you all now!”

“P-Princess Lionstar, please.” Dr. Blip reached out.

“Oh Blip.” Princess Lionstar turned towards him. “I cannot believe how blind you have been. All this time you spent chasing after my sister when I was the one who loved you first!”

“Noooo!” Dr. Blip cried, dramatically falling to his knees.

“Woah, plot twist!” Mikey yelled, perking up from his spot on the floor.

Donnie took another handful of popcorn and shoved it in his mouth. “Personally I’m on Princess Lionstar’s side. What kind of jerks just replace their friend like that?”

The turtles all mumbled in agreement. “Hey, do you think Splinter found Karai yet?” Leo looked at his brothers.

“Not sure.” Raph shrugged. “He’ll tell us when he gets back.”

Leo’s arms dropped. “Yeah, tomorrow night.”

Mikey gave him him a pat on the shell. “Hey it’s ok, we’re going to find her.”

“We’ll get her back Leo.” Donnie assured.

Leo smiled and sat back up straight. “You’re right, we can’t give up hope. Not yet.”

The uplifting atmosphere was cut short by a ringing from Donnie’s T-phone. He took it out and answered. “Hello hello hello this is Donatello.”

“Donnie!” April screeched on the other end. “You guys need to get down here now! There’s a tonne of footbots circling us!”

The turtles all looked up at each other in worry before focusing back on the phone. “Y/n has them handled for now and Casey’s with us but they just keep coming. I don’t know how long we can hold out!”

“Don’t worry April we’re on our way.” Donnie replied before closing the call. “C’mon guys. We’ve got some butt to kick.”

————————————

Down in the streets of NYC April, Casey and Y/n were fighting for their lives taking down bot after bot.

“I told you late night walks are a bad idea, they always bring trouble.” Y/n huffed as she stabbed another bot with her yari.

“Well sorry!” Casey yelled, whacking away with his hockey stick. “I thought it would be romantic!”

“Romance isn’t an excuse to endanger yourselves!” Y/n yelled, twirling her yari and blocking another footbot from attacking.

“Now is not the time to argue!” April shouted over the two. “The turtles are on their way, we just need to hold these guys back a little longer.”

Y/n glanced up at one of the distant buildings. “There’s another pack of them heading this way. I’m gonna go cut them off, you two stay here.” She announced before running off.

“Y/n, wait!” April called before huffing in defeat. “Ok then.” She then turned around to kick one of the bots in the face.

Y/n used her yari to propel herself onto the rooftops and stood defensively in preparation for the oncoming bots. Technically she shouldn’t be using a yari for jumping or vaulting but it was specially built by Donnie partly to assist in that purpose. Sturdy yet flexible as well as extendable so it could be hidden during the day. It was a marvel of modernised weaponry by Y/n’s standards. Donnie had put so much effort into a simple spear, it was honestly quite touching.

“Come and get me!” She shouted, twirling her yari and lunging at her attackers. She took them down one by one, not realising she was slowly getting pushed towards the building’s edge.

“Casey, a little help over here!” April yelled as she got yanked back.

“Sorry red.” He called back, swiping another footbot. “I’m getting swamped!”

April began sweating bullets as one of the bots pulled her in, raising its blade. She closed her eyes and looked away only for it to get pummelled into a wall.

“Do not fear the turtles are here!” Mikey cheered, holding his nunchaku high as he twirled them around.

“Thank god you guys are here. I was about to be turned into confetti.” April gasped.

“Come on April.” Donnie beat up a couple more bots. “You know we wouldn’t let that happen.”

Casey scoffed and rolled his eyes, thwacking away another foot creep before skating over to the redhead. “Yeah no stress red besides I was totally going to come over and save you.” He flashed a cheesy grin making her frown.

“Wait, I thought you said Y/n was with you?” Leo inquired, looking around for her.

“She is, up there.” April pointed to one of the rooftops.

“She’s taking on all those footbots alone!?” Donnie panicked, eyes widening.

“Someone’s gotta help her!” Mikey cried.

“On it.” Raph nodded before running away to join her.

Y/n was struggling, fighting but struggling. With every bot that ran at her she found herself getting closer and closer to falling off the side of the building. Just as she thought the next footbot might take her out, Raph jumped in and sliced its head off.

“Need some help!” He gave a cocky grin as Y/n ran away from the edge.

“I mean I was doing fine.” She grunted before blocking the next bot as it pushed against her. “But I have always wanted a sidekick.”

“Sidekick!?” Raph exclaimed. “Ok do you want the help or not?”

“No no yes please, help would be very much appreciated.” She shoved away the footbot before getting back to back with Raph.

“Alright then, time to take these tin cans down.” Raph smirked. The two let out their own battle cries as they ran back into action.

“What do these guys even want? I don’t see any of Shredder’s usual henchmen around.” Raph twisted one of the footbots with his sai and threw it over his head, stabbing it in the chest.

“I’m not sure.” Y/n called back, using her yari to launch herself over one of the bots and kicking it from behind. “I was just at home when April called me saying she and Casey were under attack. It’s like they just popped out of nowhere.”

“Well whatever they’re trying to do, it’s gotta be one of Shredder’s plans.” Raph grabbed one of the footbots and spun it around before throwing it at another one, finishing them both.

“Maybe he’s out looking for Karai too.” Gen suggested. “After all, he still sees her as his daughter.”

“Yeah well she’s not.” Raph grunted. “The lunatic seriously needs to get over it.”

Y/n kicked back another foot bot, twirling her yari and stabbing the next one before stopping in thought. “But why would he- agh!” She was cut off as a bot ran forward and kicked her harshly in the side, sending her over the edge of the building.

“Y/n!” April, Casey and the turtles cried, turning to face her as she fell down and smacked against the pavement. Her yari followed shortly after, the spearhead cracking on impact. Donnie ran over and delicately held her up, back being lifted by his right hand while his left held her head.

“Oh nononononononono. No!” He freaked out, noticing her seemingly unconscious state. “Y/n? Y/n!“

She immediately jerked upwards in shock, eyes opened so wide they looked like they were popping out. “I’m alive!”

“You’re alive? You’re alive!” Donnie cried, hugging her tight.

“Thank god for this.” She smiled and pulled a rogue trash bag from behind her head. How she managed to land perfectly on top, we’ll never know.

“And the foot have been kicked back to where they belong.” Leo remarked, Raph jumping down from the building as they all gathered together.

“You know what this calls for?” Mikey grinned.

“Pizza!” Everyone cheered, basking in the glow of their victory.

————————————

The lair was filled with chatter and joy as everyone sat spread out around the couch.

Super Robo Mecha Force Five was playing on full blast with pizza boxes scattered as far as the eye could see.

Leo was sat cross legged to the far right with Mikey draped over his lap. The orange turtle in question had just pulled a stray pizza slice off the floor and was attempting to make quick work of it.

“Ew Mikey, gross!” Leo’s face contorted in disgust as he leaned back from the horror.

Raph and Casey were busy stood behind everyone, throwing popcorn at each other’s faces as they tried to catch some.

“Hey Raph! Betcha can’t catch this one!” Casey called, backing up further away.

“Oh yeah?” Raph smirked. “Bring it.” Casey hauled the popped cornel across the room, sending it flying into Raph mouth and accidentally lodging it in his throat.

“Casey, I can’t- *cough* I-I just need you to *cough cough*. The thing it’s- *cough* stuck! *cough cough cough*”

“Hold on Raph I got you!” Casey shouted, running over and holding him from behind, trying to stop his choking.

All the while April and Donnie were sat directly in front of them, smack bang in the middle of the couch. Donnie kept trying to sneak side glances that April noticed but never acknowledged till he built up enough courage to speak.

“H-hey April, there’s only one slice of pizza left! Uh… wanna share?” He awkwardly smiled, shoving the cheesy tomato dough in her face.

“Um no thanks Donnie.” She declined, of course. Curling up uncomfortably as she gently pushed the pizza back towards him.

Just as she was doing so, Casey popped up from behind, snatching the pizza from Donnie’s hand. “I’ll be taking that. You can share pizza with me any time you want Red. How’s that restaurant across the street from my place sound?”

The red head immediately brightened at the offer. “Papa Rossy’s? I love that place, yes!”

“It’s a date!” Casey smiled, giving Donnie a purposeful look as he took a bite of the pizza prompting a less than pleased response from the terrapin.

What Donnie didn’t notice though were a pair of longing eyes observing from a distance. Y/n, who had been taking note of the whole debacle from the moment he sat down beside April. It’s wasn’t fair, it never was.

The two of them were so close beforehand, heck, he even showed the same affection towards her for a while but then something changed. She couldn’t tell when it happened exactly but all of a sudden his focus shifted to April.

Suddenly she was the one he always seemed to look after. She was the one he gazed at any time they entered the lair. She was the one he loved and it didn’t make sense! What happened?

Y/n felt like she’d been slipping more and more into the background lately and it was completely ridiculous. She knew the turtles long before they were even allowed up on the surface so how come she wasn’t the front liner out of all their human companions? Whatever, it didn’t matter anyway. She was still a valuable and recognised part of the team and that was enough. Or so she thought.

“I’m going to head into the dojo for a second, need to replace the spearhead on this thing.” Y/n mused, taking out her yari. “I’ll be back in a sec.”

Everyone gave their own replies, waving her off as she left before going back to their previous activities. April smiled and whipped out her laptop as she began typing while carefully glancing the screen.

“Watcha doing there April?” Donnie asked, leaning in to look at her screen.

“Just doing some research to see if there’s any reason those footbots were chasing after us tonight.” She replied casually.

“Good idea.” Leo sat up, accidentally sending Mikey to the floor. “Whatever they were doing it couldn’t have been for any good and with Splinter away it only makes this stuff more dangerous.”

“Maybe they went rouge you know?” Mikey weakly rose from the floor, rubbing his head. “Shredder hasn’t always been good in a managerial position.”

“I don’t buy it. Shredder’s had those things for ages why would they suddenly go berserk now?” Casey questioned.

“It’s possible they were just sent to attack you guys. April at least.” Raph suggested.

“But that still doesn’t make enough sense. Why only go after April? They aren’t exactly interested in hunting her anymore and we know they didn’t explicitly go after Gen.” Donnie put a hand on his chin in thought not that he could think much. It was like their brains reached a dead end.

As April continued scrolling on her laptop she stopped and gasped. “Guys you gotta see this!” Everyone gathered around her. Bar Y/n who was still in the dojo, clueless to everything going on outside. April kept clicking on her laptop frantically. “Multiple kraang sightings spotted down near the docks, it looks like they could be transporting heavy machinery.”

“Oh no. The invasion!” Donnie gasped.

“I knew they’d be back soon!” Raph growled.

“We gotta stop them dudes!” Mikey exclaimed.

“You got that right.” Leo stood tall, addressing everyone in front of him. “Let’s go beat their sorry behinds.”

Everyone cheered and immediately rushed out of the room without a second thought, weapons in hand and gear at the ready.

Y/n exited the dojo but a moment after, admiring her new spearhead when she looked around. “Guys? Guys!?”

She walked around for a second before stopping and glancing at April’s still open laptop, pictures of kraang glaring back at her.

————————————

“Yeah!”

“Woo hoo!”

“That was awesome!”

A mix of high-threes, fist bumps and playful shoves were passed around as April, Casey and the turtles re-entered the lair.

“Dude that was so awesome! We should totally do that next time!” Mikey pumped his fists in the air.

“Heck yeah dude!” Casey cheered “Swinging around on your kusarigama like that was the most fun I’ve had like ever!”

“Raph, the way you took down that shipment of kraang gear was incredible!” April praised.

“Aw thanks April. But can we talk about Mr hero over here!” Raph smiled brightly gesturing to Leo.

“C’mon it was nothing.” He shrugged bashfully.

“Nothing? You completely slammed those droids! We’d be dead if it weren’t for you!” Raph gave him a rough side hug before being gently pushed off.

“Okok but I couldn’t do it alone. It was Donnie who created the virus to hack into their system!” The blue eyed boy looked to his younger brother who waved him off.

“Oh Leo you flatter me.” Donnie chuckled. “But you’re right, it was totally awesome! And April, that psychic blast was incredible!”

“I don’t even know how I did it. I just felt something building up and then all of a sudden, whoosh!” She smiled, walking over to the couch.

April shut her laptop and grabbed it with ease but not before noticing something. A small pink note floated down to the floor. She picked it up, carefully examining it and all of a sudden the colour drained from her face. “Oh no. Guys, get over here now!”

Casey and the turtles ran over quick to read what was on the note.

Raph peered over her shoulder in confusion. “Hope the mission went well?”

“Y/n!” Leo gasped, causing Donnie’s face to go slack.

“Oh no.” He spoke, eyes empty.

“Do you think she’ll forgive us if we send her flowers?” Casey offered anxiously.

“Not unless we travel to an alternate universe!” April panicked.

Mikey stared at the note, a look of pure regret plastered on his face. “Sewer apples.”

————————————

While the others were busy fighting the kraang, Y/n was busy doing her own sort of thing. Running across the rooftops of NYC to help process the overwhelming emotions filling her head.

On one hand maybe it was too serious to take the time to alert her. The kraang were moments away from invading after all and any activity from them should be considered an emergency. On the other hand it doesn’t take that long to call out a name. Even if they had called while running off.

Well maybe they did call out to her and she just didn’t hear or her phone was on silent. No, impossible. The lair walls weren’t exactly soundproof and the dojo was open so any slightly loud noise would have traveled through easily. Also she was pretty sure her T-phone didn’t even have a silent mode and even if it did, she didn’t receive any missed calls or voicemails.

So that left one of two possibilities. Either they completely forgot about her or they just didn’t want her going. Both pretty bad, one more so than the other. At least if they didn’t want her going they could provide a reason of some sort (a good one hopefully). But just forgetting she even existed especially when she was in the room with them moments before was a whole new low. How the heck did her sister of 15 years, friends of 9 years and Casey of… well… Casey didn’t really count here but still! How did they manage to forget about her so easily? And more importantly, what did this say about their relationship? Did they not view her as a valuable member of the team!? Was she really that forgettable!? Or maybe they just never wanted her around to begi-

Y/n stopped, halting in the middle of a rooftop. She glanced around cautiously, hand hovering above her yari just in case. In a flash of movements she gripped her yari, extending it and twirling around to point it at a familiar black and orange face.

“Tiger Claw.” She growled, grip tightening intensely, a perfect match to her glare.

“Little O’Neil girl.” He replied sternly. Eyes never shifting, hands never twitching.

“What do you want?” She shoved her spear further forward still getting no physical response.

“Not a fight. I only wish to understand why you are not currently with your turtle friends.” His cold stare began to falter a, still strong but showing some genuine curiosity that made Y/n lower her guard slightly.

“They left me. Went on a mission but didn’t think to let me know. And if you’re going to ask what it is, I’m not telling you.” She frowned.

“I was not concerned about that.” Tiger Claw snarled. “But it is unfortunate you were left out. Tell me, does it make you angry?”

“Yeah I’m done here.” Y/n answered, lowering her yari as she turned to walk away. “Sharing my feelings with one of Shredders lackeys? Yeah right.” She scoffed.

“Wait!” Tiger Claw caught her attention and she stopped to look back over her shoulder. “I do not wish to fight not do I plan to use the information you give me against you.” He sighed. “I am trying to be nice.”

Gen girly turned around again, hand on her hip as she stood all sassy. “And why would a crook like you try to be nice to an enemy like me?”

“We have an opening in the foot.” He announced, finally moving for the first time since she spotted him. “With Karai gone we are in need of another kunoichi with your… freedom. The only reason you aren’t dead yet is because I was asked to recruit you. And it sounds like the turtles have betrayed you, wouldn’t you like a chance at revenge?” His eyes glinted viciously in the darkness making his presence all the more intimidating.

Still, Y/n rolled her eyes and sent him a questioning look as she carefully gripped her yari. “Sure I’m upset but I’d have to get pushed aside a thousand times by those guys before even considering joining the likes of you.” She got into a better stance, talked and braver than before, eyes matching Tiger Claw’s menacing gaze. “The answer is no.”

“I will give you one more chance.” The feline growled and cracked his knuckles. “Either join us or I’ll make you.”

She held her ground. “Come get me kitty cat.”

Y/n then darted for the edge of the rooftop, running as fast as she could manage. Tiger Claw followed, unsurprisingly, and darted after her at high speeds. She kept going, leaping over rooftop after rooftop before eventually dropping off one. Tiger Claw came to a halt and closed his eyes. He sniffed the air for a second before stilling, opening his eyes again and darting down.

Y/n had only managed to round a third building before Tiger Claw came up from behind. He wasn’t close but he also wasn’t far. She tried to use his mutation to her advantage. Tiger Claw being significantly larger and undoubtedly less flexible could be put at a disadvantage if Y/n made the right moves.

She jumped up onto a fire escape and used it to run up to another rooftop, taking a second to observe the city before a large thump came from behind. She took off running again, this time in a different direction. Tiger Claw was quick to follow as they continued to cross the city. Soon enough, Y/n found her desired location. She continued across a couple more buildings before jumping off the side of one once more. What Tiger Claw couldn’t see was her jumping off a dumpster and using her yari to assist in leaping over a large patch of wet concrete. Of course he jumped after but was quick to miss the dumpster and landed directly in the middle of the concrete. Due to his weight, the tiger almost immediately found himself wedged in by the waist, struggling to move in any way.

Gen giggled victoriously. “You having trouble there Tiger Paw?”

He growled at her with rage. “Do not celebrate yet little girl. I will get out of here and when I do I will hunt you down across every inch of this city and drag you back to serve as Shredder’s slave! You have not seen the last of me!”

“Yeah I haven’t.” Gen shrugged. “But neither has that concrete.” She smiled before leaning in close to Tiger Claw’s face. “Let this be a lesson. Don’t ever and I mean ever ask me to join your crummy little pity party ever again.” She stepped back, staring down at him in disdain. “Those turtles are my family, I don’t care if they forgot about me I would fight to the end for them.” She turned around, walking off before more trouble could arrive. As she went to take a step, she noticed a small peice of paper with an address written on it. She tucked away carefully before giving Tiger Claw one last glance.

“Have a good night.”

————————————

April entered the lair the next night as usual. The turtles collectively looked up at her expectantly only to be met with sympathetic eyes.

“She isn’t coming down tonight. She hasn’t spoken to me much since last night, just dad… but I’m sure it’s fine. She’s an understanding person and there’s no way she’s that upset.”

“Dudes Y/n is hella pissed!” Casey announced while walking in. April face palmed in annoyance as he continued. “I tried talking to her at school and nothing! It’s like I didn’t even exist!”

“How do you think she felt when we ditched her?” Raph glared.

“I feel like such a failure.” Leo pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m the leader, I should be alerting everyone when we go on missions.”

“No Leo it’s my fault. I’m her sister. If anyone should have remembered it’s me.” April frowned.

“We all should have remembered!” Mikey cried. “She’s our friend, you don’t just forget a friend like that.”

“Man.” Casey fell sadly onto the couch. “We are real jerks.”

Everyone sat in silence for a moment till Donnie spoke up.

“That’s it, I’m leaving, I’m gonna go talk to Y/n.”

“Donnie just give her some space, she’ll come back on her own.” Leo reasoned.

Donnie looked back at him. “Y’know, I’d like to think I know Y/n pretty well Leo and I don’t know if she will. So I’m going.” He began walking out of the lair.

“Me too I can’t handle just waiting around.” Raph smacked his hands down and stood up, following after.

“Same here bro, we gotta go apologise.” Mikey frowned, running after the two.

Leo looked on desperately. “Guys, hold on! Ugh wait for me.” He groaned, chasing after his brothers.

Casey pointed a finger gun towards April in the, now empty, lair. “So… how about that pizza date?”

————————————

The turtles ran across the New York City rooftops, aiming to reach Y/n’s apartment as soon as possible.

“Hey, just like a super random hypothetical but what if she doesn’t forgive us?” Mikey pouted, looking down for a moment with droopy eyes.

“She will, eventually. It might not be tonight but we know Gen, she doesn’t hold grudges.” Leo replied assuringly.

“Yeah.” Raph agreed. “She didn’t stay mad at Casey when he broke her phone.”

“Or when her dad kept her from seeing us.” Leo pitched in.

“She didn’t even stay angry at that guy who ghosted her before prom!” Donnie remarked. “I offered to take him out but no Donatello, it’s not okay to beat up random people on the street.” His brothers sent him questioning looks. “What?”

“Dude, you so have it bad for her.” Mikey shook his head as they continued running ahead.

“I do not!” Donnie screeched, cheeks growing in colour. “I like April now.”

“And that’s somehow going even worse than before.” Raph rolled his eyes.

“Well you’re the ones who told me to get over Y/n, so I did!” He glared.

Leo gave a nervous smile and glanced away at Donnie’s comment, a memory coming to mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was night time, about a year or so before April met the turtles. Leo was sat in Y/n’s open window facing the inside of her room, legs swinging back and forth as the two talked about life.

“I don’t know.” He mumbled. “Love is just too weird for me. First there’s different types of love, then they each have their own names for like the amount of love you feel for someone and then there’s all this mythology about feted love, forbidden love, doomed love. It makes no sense!” He rolled his head backwards in frustration. “It’s all too complicated. I think people should just love each other and not spend their whole lives worrying about what kind of love it is, you know.”

“Yeah I get what you mean.” Y/n acknowledged. “But its complexity is kind of what makes it so amazing. It’s like how Splinter feels paternal love towards you guys, because he’s your father, and I feel familial love towards you all because you’re like my family.”

“Aw.” Leo smiled sappily.

“Yeah.” Y/n continued. “You, Splinter, Mikey Raph.”

“And Donnie.” Leo added.

“Right, yes, Donnie.”

“You don’t love Donnie?” Leo leaned forward, brown raised curiously.

“Well I mean I do just not so much family-like.” She reasoned.

“Huh?” He frowned. Y/n pulled Leo down closely and began so speak in a hushed tone.

“Okay, I’m going to tell you something Leo because you’re my best friend and I trust you.”

“Alright.” He replied, prompting her to continue.

“But you have to swear you won’t tell anyone alright, not even your brothers. Especially your brothers.” Her tone got serious, eyes narrowed sharply.

“Okay I promise. I won’t say a word.”

“No but like I need something more. Like a ninjas oath or something.” She suggested.

“I don’t think that’s even a thing.” Leo snickered.

“Well it is now, so swear it.” She pointed an aggressive finger at the bridge between his eyes, causing Leo to back up a bit.

“Okay okay. I, Leonardo Hamato, solemnly swear to not repeat a word of what you’re about to say.”

“Cool.” Y/n took a breath before looking back at him anxiously. “I like Donnie.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, Leo felt kinda bad for teasing Donnie to the point of believing Y/n didn’t want him. But in fairness, that was mostly all Raph. Also he took an oath so it’s not like he could tell Donnie that Y/n liked him that way, he wouldn’t betray her like that.

Everyone suddenly came to a halt as they hopped onto the next building.

“Alright, Y/n’s apartment is just up ahead. How are we gonna go about this?” Donnie looked back at the other three.

“You’re the one who took off first, how were you gonna you about it?” Raph crossed his arms and tilted his head in his usual machismo way.

“Well I didn’t really think that far ahead.” Donnie admitted.

Leo palmed his face. “Look, she’s not gonna take it well if we all go to see her at once but it also isn’t great if we go one by one like a routine. She’ll pick up on that pretty quick.”

“Well then how we go two at a time, like a tag team!” Mikey exclaimed.

“I dunno Mikey that seems a little-“

Thump

Leo stood still, the others following his actions. The four stood together, weapons raised as they waited for someone to attack.

“You guys heard that, right?” Mikey trembled.

“Yes, we all heard it. Now shut up!” Raph whispered.

A rush of wind blew past Donnie’s ear. He turned around, ready to black whatever it was with his bō but was instantly knocked onto his shell by Tiger Claw.

“Turtles.” He announced. “How lovely to see you again.”

“Tiger Claw, what do you want?” Leo snarled, keeping a closer eye on his surroundings.

“Nothing more than your attention.” The Tiger smirked, moving back a couple steps.

Raph looked at him with suspicion. “Our attention? What, like a distraction?”

“Agh!” Leo fell to the floor, gripping the side of his neck. The brothers surrounded him.

“Exactly.” Tiger Claw grinned.

“Leo, you good bro!?” Mikey cried out.

“I don’t know. I think Rahzar and Fishface are here. Watch out!”

Suddenly Raph was tackled from behind by Fishface and had something injected into his neck. He screamed in agony for a moment as Mikey and Donnie went back to back. They began twirling and swinging their weapons rapidly. Fishface ran at them but flinched back from their weapons.

“Mikey, whatever you do don’t stop loving. So long as we keep a strong defence Fishface can’t get to us.” Donnie briefed, rapidly spinning his staff like his life depended on it.

“That is why I am here.” A voice called from the shadows.

All of a sudden, both boys were rammed by Rahzar as he charged his way through. Mikey was quickly pinned to the floor and injected by Fishface.

Donnie attempted to fight back against Rahzar but was quickly pulled into Tiger Claw’s tight grip from behind. He struggled as much as he could but deflated once Fishface finished injecting him.

The four turtles sat on the ground in a pile, cool air waving around them as each tried to get their bearings. Leo attempted to stand but fell back down immediately. Raph’s vision began to grow spots and Mikey felt like his whole head was shaking.

“Donnie, whats happening?” He croaked.

“I’m not too sure.” Donnie rasped. “But if I had to guess, I’d say we’re being poi-p-p-poiso…” He collapsed onto the floor, bō rolling out of his hand and stopping at Tiger Claw’s feet. The rest fell unconscious quickly after, everything around them going dark.

————————————

Y/n decided to head back to the lair that night. She was still a little, scratch that, a lot upset but it wasn’t good to dwell on it. The least she could do was stop by and try to talk things out.

Unfortunately those plans were cut short when she entered the lair and could only find two lonesome humans, wrapped up in their devices.

“Ahem.” She announced, getting the two to turn their heads and notice her presence.

“Y/n! You’re here? Uh shoot! I should call the guys, they just went out to talk to you.” April rambled, whipping out her T-phone.

“You doing okay?” Casey asked, expressing far more sympathy than normal.

“Yeah I’m good.” Y/n mumbled.

“Uh oh.” April gasped and continued frantically typing on her T-phone.

“What’s wrong?” Y/n looked over to her.

“They’re not picking up!”

“None of them?” Casey leaned over her shoulder.

“None of them.” She answered back. “Y/n, maybe you could try-“

“No.” She grabbed and extended her yari. “I’m gonna go out to find them. Who knows what they’ve gotten themselves into.”

“We’ll go with you.” April stood up.

“While I appreciate it I think I need to do this myself. Trust me.”

The two held each others eyes for a solid second, an exchange of understanding before Y/n turned and walked back into the dark sewers alone.

————————————

Up on the surface Y/n began her search. She stuck to the shadows just in case, scouring back alleys and crawling up fire escapes. She flipped up onto the roof of a building and began to run and leap, the glow of the city overpowering the faint stars in the sky.

Each footstep was heavy, purposeful but quick. The longer she was out the faster she got. Y/n was upset, naturally, but they were still her family. If anything happened to them she’d probably go crazy. Soon enough she spotted something, a glint in the moonlight. She immediately changed course and landed a couple blocks later.

What should she find but a scattered pile of weapons. Smoke bombs and shurikens even their T-phones were sprawled out, among other things, but that wasn’t what caught her eye. No, Y/n began to panic when she saw Leo’s blades, Donnie’s bō, Raph’s sai and Mikey’s kusarigama with a nunchuck tossed next to it. It seemed the turtles, somehow, had been well and truly disarmed.

Y/n stopped to think for a moment, the likelihood of this happening at all was extremely low. Even if they lost their main weapons the chances of them losing all their weaponry was almost impossible. So maybe this wasn’t actually what it looked like. Maybe it was a trap laid out by the foot or the kraang. Tiger Claw said Shredder wanted her on their side by any means. Maybe this was how they planned to capture her.

She began to twirl her yari around, forming a shield to defend herself from any unexpected threats. Slowly, she bent down and grabbed Donnie’s bō, tucking it behind her back. Nothing. She put her yari to a stop and looked around. Sensing no lingering presence, Y/n decided to reach down and grab a smoke bomb next. Still nothing. She glanced down once more at the discarded tools before a thought crossed her mind. She reached into her pocket for a moment before pulling out the peice of paper she found the other night, noting the address. “Hold tight, I’m coming guys.“

————————————

The warehouse was cold, damp and dark. The air was filled with a musty essence that didn’t seem to be coming from any particular source.

Donnie was the first to awake, eyelids bouncing up and down as he groggily attempted to stand. Hands on metal, head ringing with an invisible force pressing down on his temple. He looked down through blurred vision to get a sense of his surroundings.

The space was large and empty yet full of an assortment of items. Wooden crates sat stacked haphazardly in a pyramid over to one corner. Unidentifiable scraps of metal were resting in another. The floor below was rancid and filthy, likely containing patches of water or liquids of other kinds. The roof was the worst part. A combination of rotted wood and loose screws mixed with broken lights and exposed circuitry made the whole thing look like it belonged in a horror movie. Not to mention the amount of cobwebs and bugs bound to be hiding everywhere.

Donnie glanced back at the sound of groans, a sign that his brothers were coming to. It was only then that it properly registered where they were. The purple masked turtle glanced down and freaked out. His legs slipped from under him causing him to collapse directly on top of his newly awakened brethren.

“Ugh Donnie.” Leo mumbled, shoving him off by the shell.

“Sorry guys.” Donnie rubbed the back of his head in pain.

“What was that for?” Mikey squinted, eyes still adjusting to his new environment.

“Yeah and where- hey, wait! What is this? Where are we!?” Raph stood up in a split second and began banging on the bars, only just having noticed the cage they were trapped in.

“Hehehe. Hello turtles.” Rahzar’s voice rumbled from the darkness as he stepped forward confidently.

“Rahzar!” Leo called, reaching behind to pull out his katanas only to find himself empty handed.

“Looking for your swords?” Fishface smirked proudly. “Don’t bother, you won’t find them. Or your stick or your sai. We made sure to strip you of your toys, left them on the building were we caught you.”

“Why you little!” Raph shouted, smashing his shoulder against the cage in a futile attempt to break free.

“Please, rest, save your energy. You’ll be needing it.” Tiger Claw approached. “We have much planned for you four.”

“How’d this even happen. We were going after Y/n and then all of a sudden-“

“Y/n? Bahahaha!” Fishface broke down hysterically. “Last we heard you didn’t want her around. She’s with us now.” He gave a sly smile.

“No, no way. She wouldn’t!” Donnie yelled, banging his fists on the bars.

“She hasn’t joined us yet. But she will.” Tiger Claw growled, remembering the events of the previous night.

“And with you turtles out the way there’ll be no one to protect her, nothing to stop us.” Rahzar grinned menacingly.

“No.” Mikey’s gaze fell to the floor solemnly.

“But that is nothing compared to the treat we have prepared for you lot.” Fishface narrowed his eyes with a wicked tone.

“For now, we await Shredder’s arrival with the rat.” Tiger Claw spoke. “But before then, we’re free to do whatever we please.”

Rahzar chuckled, grabbing a canister of mutagen.

“Is that… mutagen?” Leo questioned.

“Good eye.” Rahzar grinned, carefully opening the mutagen canister.

“You turned us into freaks!” Fishface screamed. “Time to return the favour.”

Rahzar pushed the mutagen forward in front of Mikey’s face forcing him to lean back. He withdrawed it with another chuckle, the three mutants stepping away with dark expressions.

“Enjoy this moment turtles, it will only get worse from here.” Tiger Claw growled before finally backing off, leaving the brothers alone.

“We’re gonna be turned into double mutants!” Mikey cried, falling onto the floor of the cage with a dramatic thud.

“Us? What about Y/n!? They’re gonna force her to be a foot soldier!” Donnie shouted, panicking like a madman.

“Did we miss him mentioning Shredder going after splinter? And how about Casey and April? Are they hurt too? Did the foot manage to get to them?” Leo freaked.

“This wouldn’t have happened if we’d just- ugh!” Raph yelled and punched the bars of the cage, barely forming a dent.

“Yeah.” Donnie sighed. “If we hadn’t left Y/n we would have never been caught like that.”

“Wait, before we passed out you said something. Like we were being poisoned! Agh, we’re gonna die of poison!” Mikey screamed, flailing his hands around.

“We’re not dying!” Leo shouted. “At least, I don’t think we are.”

“No Leo’s right.” Donnie agreed. “The initial effects seemed to have worn off now. I suspect we were actually injected with some kind of sleeping agent to slow us down and prevent any resistance when we were being attacked.”

The three brothers stared at him for a moment before Raph clapped is hands.

“Well that’s great Donnie, glad you figured that out. Now if you don’t mind can we please focus on how to get out of here!”Raph screamed in his face.

“What was that.” Rahazar muttered.

The four turtles went quiet, watching as their captors walked around cautiously.

“What’s going on?” Mikey whispered.

“I don’t know Mikey, why don’t you ask them?” Leo rolled his eyes.

“Okay. Hey Rahzar, Fishfa-“ Raph quickly smacked his hand over Mikey’s mouth.

“What are you doing you idiot!” He hissed.

“Leo told me to ask them!” Mikey retorted after finally freeing his mouth.

Donnie smacked his palm against his forehead, glancing back at the three henchmen. “Seriously though, what is going on with them.”

Leo sat in thought for a brief moment before his eyes flickered. “No, I hear it to. Listen.”

The turtle brothers remained silent as the sound of pattering feet became more audible. Donnie glanced up and saw a shadow dash across the blurred yellow plastic that formed certain sections of the roof.

A second passed before a massive smash erupted, alerting everyone to a nearby window. And who would jump out but the one and only Y/n O’Neil.

Her usual pink bandana was now tied around her face as a mask, revealing the typically hidden eye holes.

“Oh Tiger Claw!” She called, storming into the warehouse with a passion. Every step held a level of confidence only achievable with subsequent anger, moving at the rhythmic speed of a fast-paced song. Tiger Claw, Fishface and Rahzar all stared down at her, surrounded by an army of footbots.

Fishface smirked. “Well well well. Look who it is. The useless one came to pay a visit.”

“Dudes look.” Mikey nudged his brothers. “It’s Y/n, she came to save us!”

“I dunno Mikey she looks more like she’s ready to kill us.” Raph frowned, watching the scene go on below.

“Wait a second.” Leo looked closely through the cage bars. “Are those our weapons!?”

Sure enough, Y/n had each of the turtles weapons on her. Leo’s katanas slid in front of Donnie’s bō. Mikey’s nunchaku were tucked away on her right and Raph’s sai on her left.

“She’s going to get herself killed!” Donnie shrieked, hands holding his head in a panic.

Tiger Claw growled, still angered from last night’s events. “I will make you join us by any means necessary.”

Y/n sighed, eyes turning a ghostly white. “No. You really won’t.”

Immediately footbots came running forward. She twirled her yari and swiped at a few before shrinking it and tucking away. She kicked the next two bots before ducking down as another went tumbling over her head. She quickly grabbed one of the sai and turned around, stabbing the bot in the head. She then threw a series of ninja stars that decommissioned another three footbots while she pulled out Donnie’s staff to whack away another group.

The brothers watched from their cage. “Wow Splinter was right.” Raph’s eyes widened in surprise. “She really is versatile.”

Y/n kicked away more footbots before turning and throwing Leo’s sword to impale another on the wall. She sliced two more with the second katana before running and snatching back the first one. She sheathed his swords behind her again as she narrowly dodged another footbot’s attacks. She then whipped out Mikey’s nunchaku and transformed it into his kusarigama, using it to swiftly tangle the bot before kicking it down and slicing off its head.

Y/n finally took a breather, but quickly backed into something stiff. She heard a growl and turned around to find Rahzar’s disgusting grin. “Huh, I was wondering when you were going to join the fight.” She mused before throwing a smoke bomb in his face. Rahzar rawed at the top of his lungs while Gen took the opportunity to tie the kusarigama around his feet and topple his down. She beat him a couple of times with Donnie’s staff before running off. She quickly grabbed a stray brick off the ground and hauled it at his face, knocking him out cold.

The sound of yelling came from behind but Fishface didn’t get much of a chance to attack as she quickly stuck up a fist, hitting him in the face. She twisted around and kicked him in the stomach before dropping down and gripping one of his robo legs. She lodged one of Raph’s sai into the joint where his left leg connected to the main compartment.

“Get off you annoying child!” Fishface tried shaking her off but she remained attached.

“Not a chance.” Y/n spoke, eventually twisting the sai enough to break off the leg, leaving him toppled on the ground. Y/n quickly fought off a couple more oncoming bots before slamming Mikey’s nunchaku against the wall, causing debris to fall down from the and upper edges of the wall, properly trapping Fishface on the floor.

Last was Tiger Claw who wasted no time in launching at her side. “Why don’t you just give up now? No one has defeated me. Not Shredder, not Karai and certainly not you.”

Y/n glared up at him while taking a few steps back. “Don’t worry Tiger Paw. I don’t need to defeat you, I just need an easy way up.”

He shook his face in confusion before getting back into his fighting stance. But just as he lunged forward to deliver his next blow Y/n jumped up. She kicked off the wall and landed on top of his head, running and leaping off it to reach the turtles' cage for a brief moment, swiping a gloved hand across the bars.

She landed back down in a somersault and pointed her yari back at Tiger Claw, fierceness in her eyes.

“Woah that was so cool!” Mikey gushed. “She was like flying.” His eyes sparkled as he reached for the bars Y/n had touched only to get slapped back by Donnie.

“Do not touch that!” The purple turtle screamed.

“Ow! Why!?” Mikey complained, rubbing his sore arm.

“See the glove Y/n just threw to the floor?” The other turtles leaned over Donnie’s shell to get a look.

“It has some weird looking water on it.” Raph pointed out only for Donnie to face palm.

“That’s not water Raph it’s sulfuric acid.” Donnie walked over to inspect the bars at a distance. “She must of taken some from my lab and rubbed it against the bars to corrode the metal! Genius!”

Meanwhile, Y/n was still busy avoiding swipes from Tiger Claw’s blade. The remainder of the footbots were long defeated, leaving just the two against each other. She eventually used Leo’s katana to counter him and scattered his sword to the other end of the room. He growled furiously before pouncing on her. She held him steady, back planted against the floor as Leo’s katana kept his jaws away.

“You insolent girl!” He shouted. “Shredder will have your head for this!” Her eyes darkened as she lifted her head slightly to look him in the eye.

“Oh buddy I don’t think you understand. If I ever see Shredder again, I’m gonna be the one taking heads!” With that she grabbed the small vial of sulfuric acid she took from Donnie’s lab and threw the remainder of it at his face. Tiger Claw recoiled in anguish allowing Y/n to push off the ground causing him to stumble backwards.

He launched at her again but this time she blocked and shoved him with Donnie’s bō, turning around and using one hand to toss Leo’s sword up towards the cage.

“Duck!” Leo shouted, leading the four of them to crouch down with their hands over their heads. The sword slammed against the corroded bars and broke them with ease, giving the turtles an easy escape.

Y/n pointed the bō at Tiger Claw’s chest. He clutched his right eye in pain as his left hand struggled to swipe at her to no avail. She carefully pushed him with the bō towards one of the windows, where he soon crashed through and fell out of the building. Y/n looked down to see if he was still in commission only to find his burnt face and unconscious body laid out atop a, now crushed, dumpster.

The four turtles hopped down one by one, shamefully avoiding her eyes. Y/n tossed each of them their weapons before retying her bandana around her head.

She walked past them towards the exit as Donnie turned to her with a weak smile. “You wore your mask.”

Y/n didn’t return the look, keeping her gaze straight ahead with a dulled expression. “Yeah, I did.” She stopped for a moment to look at the ground before looking ahead again. “I’m glad you guys are ok.” She kept moving after that, not bothering to look back.

Mikey sighed, his arms drooping. “Dudes, we totally messed up.”

“You got that right.” Raph commented with his arms in their usual cross.

“We gotta figure out a way to make it up to her.” Leo clenched his fists before releasing them loosely.

“I don’t know if we can.” Donnie muttered, a mix of hurt and guilt filling his brain.

————————————

Shredder’s lair was eerily quiet. Stone walls dripping with the pain of a thousand men. Tiger Claw hesitantly took a step forward, bowing in his usual manner before the throne. “Master shredder, I regret to inform you that the mission was a failure. We successfully captured the turtles but the pink O’Neil girl was able to free them.”

“It is alright Tiger Claw.” Shredder huffed, standing up from his hardened seat. “It pains me to say I too was unsuccessful. The turtles grow stronger every day as do their allies. Perhaps it is time we began seeking some external assistance.”

Tiger Claw’s eyes went wide, a look of apprehension crossing his face. “Surely you are not considering-“

“I will not determine it as of now.” Shredder raised his hand. “But as it stands, we are failing on our own. We could use the help from something more alien.”

————————————

The walk back to the lair was painfully quiet, no one dared to say anything more after their departure from the warehouse.

The boys eventually reached the familiar entrance where they found April and Casey anxiously waiting on the couch.

April looked up and a wave of relief washed over her. “You guys are ok!” She ran over to give them all individual hugs. “Splinter’s back and resting in his room.” They all let out a sigh of relief as April kept talking. “I thought for a moment that the foot had actually caught you all for good.”

Leo looked up in confusion. “Didn’t Y/n tell you we were ok when she got back?”

“We haven’t seen Y/n since she left to get you guys. She came back grab some things but hasn’t returned. I don’t know where she is.” April announced with worry.

The brothers each exchanged anxious glances but Donnie faltered for a moment.

“You guys go ahead and get patched up, I need to check on something real quick.”

Casey hopped up and watched Donnie as he ran off. “He’s going to find Y/n?”

“He’s going to find Y/n.” April and the remaining three turtles spoke together.

————————————

Donnie treaded lightly on the sewer pavement, allowing the faint sound of tears to guide him.

He soon found her, body crumpled and curled in on itself as she violently cried into her arms. The sight was enough to break him.

“Hey Y/n, you ok?” Donnie stepped cautiously towards her.

“Donnie just go.” She waved him off, only for him to stand his ground.

“No! I want to know what’s going on.” He pleaded. “Now are you ok?”

“No. Of course I’m not ok!”

Y/n cried from her spot on the floor, sobbing as the sewer water flowed by.

“Mind telling me what’s wrong?”

Donnie asked gently as he moved to sit down beside her.

“I just… I feel so selfish and stupid. And I hate you all but I also don’t. I can’t. And on top of it all I-I think I’m jealous of April!” She let out a shaky breath. “How pathetic is that? My own sister! I’m a horrible sister.” Covered her face with her hands continued to sob.

“Don’t say that, you’re an amazing sister.” Donnie peeled back her hands, getting her to look at him. “You’ve fought off foot soldiers for her, stood by her side when no one else could, heck you even took on the kraang alone just to keep her safe!”

“That doesn’t make it any better.” Y/n looked away, gaze returning to the water.

Donnie leaned on his shoulders as he watched his reflection in the water beside hers. “Why are you feeling jealous?”

“No, it’s so embarrassing.” She leaned back, face contorting in shame.

“Gen, you’re talking to the king of embarrassing. Trust me whatever you’re bottling up is nowhere near as bad as the stuff I’ve done.” He gave her a reassuring smile, prompting her to speak.

“I’m jealous that… she’s spending more time with you guys.” Y/n reluctantly let out.

“O-oh. Oh.” Donnie’s eyes widened in shock. Y/n looked down at her feet, tears brimming at the corners of her eyes as she spoke with a cracked voice.

“I just- you were all like my family, my escape. I could just come down here and pretend my normal life didn’t exist. And you know at first I thought April knowing about you all was great, finally I don’t have to keep my two lives separate but I’m starting to think maybe I liked it better that way. I know there was no avoiding it and I know this has turned out better for everyone. You, April, your brothers heck even your dad seems happy to have someone new to train. But I just keep feeling like the more time she spends here, the more my worlds keep clashing, the more I’m getting replaced.” She frowned at the floor.

“Y/n, you’re not getting replaced that’s not happening.” Donnie sternly replied.

“Really?” Y/n croaked. “Because last I checked, you all made the decision to go on a mission last night without me. What, did you just forget I was there? That I was literally a room away? Or maybe you just forgot I exist at all!”

“I… I’m sorry. That wasn’t cool of us. It’s been really tense since our trip to dimension x and I guess we all just kinda saw red and ran. We should have waited, or let you know. We shouldn’t have just ignored you like that. Besides, it was a kraang mission and you know April’s psychic abilities help with that.” Donnie tried to reason, hands making gestures all around the place.

“But that’s it!” Y/n snapped. “When she finally masters ninjitsu and becomes a proper kunoichi what use will you all have for me? You have a ninjitsu master, four highly-trained turtle ninjas and a psychic kunoichi. You’re smart, Raph’s strong, Mikey’s creative and Leo leads. My thing was the whole human situation, my topside access and insider knowledge. But then you had April getting that to you. So my thing became my skills, protect April on the surface so we can search for more in-depth intel. But then, of course, she started training and can now solo Karai. So where does that leave me? I have literally nothing else to bring to the team, I’m completely useless and the worst part is that the one place I could go to escape this all is the centre of it!”

Y/n began to break down into more tears. Eyes getting red and sore as she desperately rubbed them.

“You ever wondered why I wasn’t totally distraught about my dad being turned into a mutant? It wasn’t because of how long I’ve known you guys, though I’m sure that helped, it was because he and I were never close. He and April are both into science and I’m into whatever this is!” Y/n angrily threw her yari across the stream making it smack against the opposing wall before resting on the ground. “I never felt like I could connect with him when I was younger so I stopped reaching out. What I didn’t expect was for him to stop reaching out to me aswell. That’s how I found you guys, that’s how I ended up here because I didn’t have a home or a family! Just April, a shell of a dad and that stupid boring apartment! I just want a place, you know? I-I don’t have one with April and my dad heck, he didn’t even notice all those times I disappeared as a kid. I don’t have one on my mum’s side because lucky me, second born, I was spared the one thing that could’ve connected me to my mother! I don’t have a place at school and now I don’t even have a place here. A-and when you’ve spent your whole life trying to fit in somewhere only to get pushed out at the last second, you’re left with no options. None! I don’t have anywhere else to go.”

Donnie stared at Y/n in shock, his typically fast brain slowing down till it almost reached a stop. It didn’t take long before tears began to well in his eyes too, chest getting heavy.

“Y/n I… I’m so sorry. If I knew you even felt that way in the slightest I, well I don’t know what I would’ve done but I would’ve talked to you a lot sooner about it. Please, trust me when I say you do have a place here. You keep us all together. Remember when we were younger and Splinter would yell at my brothers and I for the dumbest stuff? You were the one who spoke to him and got him to calm down and apologise. When April wasn’t willing to talk to us you’re the one who bridged the gap and kept us all in line. If it weren’t for you we probably wouldn’t have even known April and your father were attacked and this whole kraang thing would’ve blown completely over our heads. Not to mention, you’ve saved my brothers and I from some of our worst moments. You call us out and that means we can see how we’re hurting one another and stop. You’re everything to this team, to this family.” Y/n gave a soft smile and turned to face him. Donnie paused, centring himself before he continued. “Look I should also apologise for-“

“No need. That already made me feel a lot better.” Y/n cut him off with a kind gaze.

“No but Y/n I really should tell you this because it’s important you know, as much as I don’t want to have to say it.” Donnie pulled back, nerves dancing around him like little bugs.

“Ok, I’m listening.” Y/n sat tall, giving him her undivided attention.

“Whew.” Donnie took a deep breath and closed his eyes briefly in preparation. “I liked you before April.” A moment of silence passed, Y/n felt her entire body still as Donnie kept himself straight. “Like long before April. And I may be at fault for causing some of your feelings of replacement because truth be told I have been replacing you with her.” He looked down shamefully.

“What?” Y/n spoke, breath leaving her body.

“I know it’s messed up. I know I’m messed up. It was only a little while ago when everything kinda shifted for me. I- I was feeling insecure and the others teased me a little too hard, so I kind of came to accept that you weren’t going to feel the same way about me. I felt helpless and in my moment of despair I saw April. She was understanding and kind and ever since I guess I really have been trying to swap you guys around. The spot in the lab I use to save for you is now for April. All of our old hangout ideas like going on walks or running on rooftops is now what I do with her. She occupies your space in the shell raiser more than you do. Gosh even- even the stupid picture I had of us I replaced with one of her and I. And now I’m saying this all out loud it really sounds way worse than it did in my head. But, you deserve to know and I’m sorry.” He looked away in shame, eyes refusing to leave the floor.

“So do you actually like April or?” Y/n asked, pushing him to give her more information.

Donnie halted. “Well actually I don’t know. It wasn’t long and I’ve kind of just accepted relationships aren’t really for me so I guess not? Maybe? I don’t know!” Donnie cried, collapsing onto his shell. He sat up again, this time facing Y/n directly. “Look, point is I just didn’t want you to find this out in the middle of a fight or battle due to I dunno a truth serum or something. I wanted to tell you now, honestly, before it’s too late.”

Y/n exhaled deeply as the weight of everything set in. “It’s really messed up.”

“I know.”

“You should have just talked to me.”

“I know.”

“But that honestly makes me feel so much better.”

“I- wait what?” Donnie asked, eyebrow raised in confusion.

“Question, did Leo take part in convincing you I didn’t have any feelings for you?” Y/n asked curiously.

“Yes… why?” Donnie hesitantly responded.

“Of course he did.” Y/n sighed. “Well look if we’re going to be sharing all our embarrassing secrets today then I may as well get this last one out the way too.” Y/n closed her eyes before opening them again. “I did have feelings for you Donnie. And that was a large part of why I began to feel so deeply replaced by April. And I always thought I was being dumb and selfish but now it makes so much sense.”

Donnie gave a dry laugh and put his hands over his face. “We’re disasters, aren’t we?”

“Yeah.” Y/n agreed.

“I promise you you’re not getting replaced.” Donnie shook his head.

“And I promise you you’re not as unloved as you think you are.” Y/n smiled.

The two sat in slight awkward silence for a moment before Donnie let out an obviously forced cough.

“So uh what do we do now?”

“Probably talk it out with the whole team.” Y/n shrugged.

Donnie groaned, leaning his head back. “Looking forward to that conversation.”

Y/n snorted, covering her smile with a hand.

“So you said you like me?” Donnie glanced at her with a cheeky smile causing Y/n cheeks to turn pink.

“Donnie, I think the last thing either of us needs right now is to get into a relationship much less with each other.” She held his hands and his gaze. “I say let’s just take it slow and figure things out as they happen ok?”

“Yeah, ok I can do that.” Donnie nodded reassuringly.

“Thanks for having my back.” Y/n pulled him in for a tight hug, head tucked under his chin.

“Always. I will always be here for you.”

🌚Cue Credits🌚

Honestly I actually love this story so much. I know there wasn’t a lot of romance but I like the little platonic friendships Y/n has with everyone else. Kind of want to write a prequel showing Y/n first meeting the turtles but who knows. And yes, I know sulfuric acid can’t corrode metal that quickly but you can’t spell sci-fi without fi. Hope you enjoyed and have an amazing day/night wherever you are!✨

Ok I know I’m a little late to the party but I swear I watched this movie the day it released. I’ve been anticipating it for so long and oh my god it was even better than I could have hoped!

SPOILERS AHEAD

R.I.P Jinu but ain’t no way he’s dead, the money never lies. Also I need to see him and Rumi be goofy little shits together.

Can’t wait for the sequel Zoeystery needs to happen and Mira is a literal queen.

And Baby is my everything now. I feel like he’d either be the worst boyfriend or the best. Like I can’t tell if he’d be over possessive and only love you or if he’d low key just pretend you don’t exist. Either way this man is a SMASH and his demon form ssdhfffscbibdss. Sorry but if I was at that concert my soul would be gone. Taken. Instantly. The second he came out with his rap verse like oml eat me now.

Also I just I love Sony in general. They’re my absolute favourite animation studio of the 2020s. Sorry but Pixar is mostly ass, Dreamworks is constantly teetering between biggest hits and boring fails. Illumination… I have no words and Universal is becoming a Disney wannabe. And do I even need to talk about Disney? Like, come on.

Just needed to get that all out of my system. Point is, I won’t make it official because I’m sure I’ll be over it soon but if you do happen to send any Baby Saja requests my way I won’t deny.✨

(Request for character of choice)

Have you ever heard of the "Is this a date?" trope? It's when two characters do something alone that seems very date-y but they don't realize until it's too late. Usually it's in quirky, comedy fluffs?

Is This a Date?

2012!Mikey x Reader

Sorry I’ve been dead for so long. But now I’m back! Maybe. And I’m trying to get through all these unanswered asks to remove my guilty conscience.

Figured I may as well start strong with a Mikey fic, this boy is one of my absolute favourites but I really don’t give him enough love. Well, enjoy!

Edit: I totally headcanon that if Mikey had a regular human partner he wouldn’t tell them the full extent of the kraang’s plans because he wouldn’t want them to be as stressed about the end of the world as he is.

Mikey whooped through the lair, cheering and jumping around. He quickly jumped on the couch causing Leo to drop his slice of pizza.

“Mikey!”

“What’s got you so excited?” Raph huffed with his arms crossed.

“Oh nothing.” Mikey casually spoke before running over and getting Raph’s face. “Just that it’s Friday!”

Mikey kept dancing around the lair while Raph continued to scoff. “Uh huh. And?”

Donnie stepped out of his lab, goggles perched atop his head as he rubbed his eyes. “He gets to see y/n.”

“Oh.” Raph muttered before a wide smirk grew on his face. “Ohh!” So that’s where you’ve been sneaking off to, to hang with you girlfriend.”

Mikey stopped dead in his tracks and sighed, head rolled back so far it was practically touching his shell. “Dude I wish she was my girlfriend! But so long as our little friend-outs keep going the way they’re going I think we’ll get there eventually.”

“Friend-outs?” Leo asked quizzically from his spot on the couch, the previous slice of pizza being long forgotten.

“Yeah! Like hangouts but specifically for friends.” Mikey proudly stated.

“That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” Donnie groaned. “Just call them what I call me and April’s hangouts.”

“And that is?” Raph hesitantly asked, terrified of his reply.

“A late night one-sided romantic non-explicit almost but not quite date.”

“Yeah I’m good bro.” Mikey frowned, almost put off by his brother’s confidence.

“Look, hangout or friend-out or whatever you wanna call it.” Leo jumped up and stepped forward. “Just make sure you’re home in time before Sensei notices.”

“Notices what?” The aforementioned rat-man stepped into the room with a curious tone.

“Uh nothing Sensei.” Mikey cringed, hoping to god none of his brothers would rat him out. Heh rat.

“Mikey’s going on a date with his girlfriend!” Raph announced, causing Mikey’s face to go bright pink.

“Number 1, not my girlfriend; number 2, not a date and number 3, WHAT THE HELL DUDE!” Mikey screeched in Raph’s face before he was abruptly pulled back by Splinter’s amused chuckle.

“It is alright Michelangelo I had a feeling you were seeing someone given how much you’ve tried to sneak out in recent times.” Mikey’s face fell.

“Oh boy, so you noticed too huh?” He gave a weak smile preying for a gentle scolding.

“I have. But not to worry, I see no ill intent here so I do not have a problem with it.”

“Wait seriously?” Mikey’s eyes widened in suprise.

“Seriously.” Splinter nodded. “But do not do anything foolish and for the last time, stop revealing yourselves to humans!”

“U huh, yep, you got it Sensei!” Mikey smiled cheerfully, jumping up and down with joy.

“Wait, you’re actually letting him go?” Raph asked in astonishment.

“The last time I snuck out you all yelled at me!” Leo protested.

“That is because you were meeting with a member of the foot.” Splinter calmly spoke back.

Donnie snickered. “He got you there.”

“But how do you know Mikey isn’t doing the same thing?” The blue boy questioned once more.

“Uh my girl is way too good to be hanging around those foot creeps. And look at me Leo.” He pulled the puppy eyes. “Would these eyes lie to you?”

Raph spoke before Leo could even reply. “You know what, I’m just gonna walk away on this one. Have a great night Mikey.” He raised his arms in mock defeat and headed off to his room.

“Thanks Raph! Woah, never thought I’d say that.” Mikey gave a cheesy smile and ran out before he was thrown any more questions. “I’ll be back soon, save me some pizza!”

The remaining family members just shook their heads and sighed as his figure disappeared into the dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night started off perfectly. Mikey jumped across the New York City skyline till he eventually reached y/n’s apartment. Clinging onto the windowsill from the apartment above, he hung upside down and knocked on her window.

When y/n finally opened her window it took everything in Mikey to not fall down from how gorgeous she was. Is this girl even real?

Y/n smiled shyly, cheeks tinted red. “Stop you’re making me blush.” She joked. Dammit, he totally said that last part out loud didn’t he. Never mind.

“What’s hanging sweet cheeks?” He goofed as she leaned out to talk to him.

“Only you.” She smiled, leaning out further to try and boop his nose. Unfortunately her lack of balance betrayed her and she quickly fell out only to be thankfully caught by the hands of her turtle saviour.

“And you. Mikey remarked as he kept her dangling for a second. He began swinging back and forth a little before using the motion to pull his body up and grab y/n properly.

“Thank you for that, genuinely thought I was about to dieeeee!” Y/n’s relief was cut extremely short as Mikey dropped off the edge of the windowsill with her. She snapped her eyes shut, only opening them once she heard a thud and figured they safely landed.

Sure enough. Mikey had easily gotten onto the neighbouring building without a scratch on either of them.

“Alright, no more rooftops for now. How about a walk?” Y/n suggested.

“You had me at rooftops.” Mikey smiled gleefully.

“Wait no I meant-“ Mikey began to prepare to jump and y/n noticed immediately. “Mikey no no no no no oh my gosh please no ahhhhh!”

He leaped and grabbed onto the side of another apartment block before kicking off and landing swiftly on the ground. “I’m just messing with you sugar, don’t worry.”

Y/n heaved and sighed, leaning against Mikey as he finally put her down. “Never again you hear me. From now on we start by meeting up on the ground.

“Whatever you say honey.” He smiled and stepped in front of her, hands behind his back with an innocent little smile on his face.

“Are you ever going to stop with the pet names?” She questioned, walking forwards and out of the alley they landed in.

“Only if you want me to.” Mikey followed. Y/n looked away with a small smile, not saying anything. Mikey wouldn’t admit it but his face made the same expression as he glanced away from her too.

“So, how has the ninjaing been going?” Y/n wondered. “Got any new leads, any shocking discoveries, do I finally get meet your dad?”

“Uh the kraang are doing some super evil stuff, I made friends with an alligator his name’s Leatherhead by the way and how bout we meet at my place next time, then you can see the whole lair!” He excitedly spoke.

“That sounds awesome!” Y/n agreed. “Not the evil kraang part but Leatherhead sounds cool and I’d love to visit your home!”

“So what’s been up with you?” Mikey asked, arms now relaxed behind his head.

“Ugh nothing that exciting. Passed my math test, hung out with a couple of friends after school and I learnt how to make simple jewellery.” She perked up.

“What? That’s so cool!” Mikey shouted, hyping her up like there was no tomorrow.

“Oh also.” He stopped in his tracks as y/n halted to pull something out of her pocket. “I made you this.” She smiled brightly holding up a small pink beaded bracelet.

“Aww! No one’s ever gotten me something like this before.” Mikey’s eyes began to water as he accepted the gift, holding it like the most delicate thing in the world before slipping it on with care.

“Not just that, check it out.” Y/n smiled, holding up her wrist to reveal her own orange bracelet. “No way!” Mikey cheered as he bent down to inspect hers.

“I know we don’t get to see each other a lot and I’m constantly reminded of the fact that your world is terribly life risky and dangerous so this can be like a little bond between us. Together and apart.” She smiled up at him, holding out her fist for a little bump which he eagerly returned.

“How are you so perfect?” Mikey sighed.

Y/n covered her mouth to hide her smile, cheeks glowing, before dropping it to speak. “I dunno, how are you so amazing?”

Mikey chuckled. “Well now you’ve given me a gift, it’s only right I give you one in return.”

“Mikey you don’t need to do that.” Y/n smiled.

“Uh uh! I insist.” He bowed slightly, holding his hand for her to take. “Well, what are you waiting for?”

“You’re not gonna throw me onto the rooftop are you?” She cautiously asked.

“I’m totally gonna throw you onto the rooftop.” Mikey grinned.

Y/n sighed, tilting her head to the side. “Fine.” She relented, placing her hand in Mikey’s. The second her hand touched his she was thrown onto his back as he jumped up onto the roof of the nearest building and began to parkour.

“We’re never gonna hang out just on the ground, are we?” Y/n leaned over his shoulder with an amused grin.

“Nope, never. Better get use to it sweetie pie cos this guy belongs in the sky.” He smiled proudly. Y/n leaned on his shell, head tilted in amusement as she watched his beaming face. She may as well have hearts for eyes.

“Ooh wait stop!” Y/n called out, getting Mikey to screech to a stop. “Look!” She happily pointed to a seemingly empty intersection where a man stood on the sidewalk with a cart. Bags of cotton candy hung from the top, a little odd instead of just doing it with the machine but ok.

“What is that?” Mikey asked as he let her slide off his back.

“It’s cotton candy!” Y/n cheered as he gave her the most confused expression of all time. “You don’t know what cotton candy is?” Y/n gasped, astounded that someone like Mikey of all people hadn’t experienced this delight before.

“What exactly is it anyway?” He asked, peering at the man over y/n’s shoulder.

“It’s basically just fluffed up sugar with a little colour. Disgustingly unhealthy but deliciously good.”

“That sounds awesome!” Mikey screamed forcing y/n to cover his mouth with her hand in fear they’d be spotted.

“I’ll go grab us some, you wait here alright?” She patted his shoulder.

Mikey‘s smile dropped.

“Aww but why can’t I come with you?”

“You really think a street vendor will react well to seeing a giant turtle guy in the middle of the night?” Y/n questioned, arms crossed.

“No.” He pouted. “But I’ll be here if anything goes wrong. I don’t know what it is but that guy gives me the heebie-jeebies.”

“I’ll be safe, I promise.” Y/n smiled assuringly.

“Alright, I trust you.” He gave her a half anxious smile as she headed over to the building’s fire escape.

Mikey watched, perched on the rooftop, as y/n walked over to talk to the vendor.

“They’re a dollar a piece.” He spoke in a raspy tone making her internally cringe.

“Great! I’ll get 2.” He gave an airy chuckle, snatching two bags and handing them to her as she laid out the cash.

“You got a boyfriend to share that with?” He smiled. Creepy y/n thought as he began walking out from around the cart. Mikey frowned and feircly gripped his nunchucks, ready to attack.

“I mean sort of. A friend but still, y’know.” Y/n jokingly chuckled though her smile was clearly strained as she took a step back.

“No I don’t know.” The man smiled more, following her lead by taking a step forward. “Why don’t you explain it to me?”

Y/n took another careful step back, voice caught in her throat. Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh. She closed her eyes tight, waiting for the man to approach her more until-

CLANG!

She opened one eye followed hesitantly by the other as she stared at the unconscious man on the floor in shock. She looked up and saw Mikey standing tall with his nunchucks in hand.

“Mikey…” She began. He puffed out his chest with pride expecting a thank you. Maybe a hug or a kiss or- “What did you do!?”

“Nothing!” He defended. “Just taking out the trash.”

“Is he- oh my gosh is he still breathing!?” Y/n’s panic grew more and more but she wasn’t willing to touch the body to check.

“I dunno probably.” Mikey shrugged. “I already called the guys, they’ll be here to take him to the feds or whatever don’t, worry about it.”

“Don’t worry about it?” She chuckled nervously. “Don’t worry about it!? Mikey there’s an half dead man lying at my feet and you want me to not worry about it!?”

“Here.” He snatched the two bags of cotton candy from her hands, handing one back to her. “Just take this, we’ll head back up to the rooftops and never think about this creepo ever again.” Y/n looked down at her bag of fairy floss with uncertainty before meeting his eyes again and smiling.

“Fine you win, to the rooftops we go!” She cheered. Mikey happily scooped her up in his arms making her squeal slightly as he jumped up onto the roof of a nearby building.

“You seriously gotta start warning me before doing that.” Y/n held her head and smiled at him in a daze.

“But where’s the fun in that?” He retorted making her give out a small giggle.

“Have I ever told you you’re the best?” She sighed. “Noooo.” Mikey drawled out with a sneaky smile. “Well you’re totally the best!” She laughed and jumped into giving him a hug. Mikey sighed and smiled, resisting the urge to nuzzle into her neck.

Their peace didn’t last long though as his chaotic personality caught up to him and he quickly came up with another idea. “Oh! I have this awesome place to show you, follow me!” Technically there wasn’t really any following involved as he scooped the poor girl up into his arms once more and began leaping over rooftops.

Every jump had y/n squealing and clutching onto him more. Partially out of fear and partially out of excitement. At one point he took a big leap and let her go, making her scream as she tumble towards the next building before he swiftly caught her in his arms again.

“Gotcha.” He playfully teased while the girl looked up at him in disbelief. “You’re insane.” She muttered, eyes wide in shock.

Mikey let out his own set of giggles and tossed her in the air a little (totally not showing off at that point) and caught her once more. “Don’t you know it!” He announced with joy before going back on route.

The skyline seemed to sweep by as each building passed. If the lack of stars in the sky was disappointing then the city lights certainly made up for it.

The pair had fallen into silence but the rush of the wind and the jumps and the leaps kept up the energy. It did give y/n some time to think, going over the nights events. As she pulled herself closer to Mikey she began to get a boldness she’d never really felt any other times they’d met up. Maybe it was stupid or maybe it was fate who knows but in that moment y/n made a choice.

They were nearing the spot Mikey had in mind and it was just as he took his finale leap that y/n made up her mind. Everything seemed to slow down as the two were briefly suspended mid-air. Y/n pulled back slightly and they locked eyes making a second feel like eternity. It was in that moment y/n chose to make her move. She quickly leaned in, eyes closed and heart pounding, and gave Mikey a small peck to the lips.

He landed smoothly, sliding back a little on the concrete. At that point y/n had already pulled back leaving the two staring at each other in shock.

“I- uhh.” Mikey was at a loss for words because ain’t no way that just happened!

Y/n swiftly leaped out of his arms and looked away. “So, this is the place you wanted to show me?” She asked, clearly trying to shift the focus.

“Uh yeah! Yeah. This is the place. Best sightseeing spot in all of NYC baby.”

The two plopped down next to each other, feet dangling over the edge of the rooftop. Jeez why so many roofs? Oh right, turtle ninja.

Y/n dipped her hand into the bag of sugar she only just remembered she had, stuffing her face while gazing out at the vast city

“Ifs beautiful.” She smiled.

“Yeah.” Mikey breathed, cheeks still burning from that last second kiss.

“So uh.” He awkwardly smiled and glanced her way. “Wanna give me another kiss or?”

“Mikey!” Y/n shoved her face in her hands out of embarrassment. “Sorry, I don’t even know why I did it. It was stupid really just don’t worry about it, won’t happen again I swear I-“ She was quickly cut off as Mikey pulled her in for another kiss. He reeled back slightly and gave her a dopey smile.

“I don’t mind, you can kiss me all you want.” Y/n giggled from his little flirt and pushed his face away before instantly looking back again to meet his gaze.

“You’re ridiculously amazing you know that?” She smiled.

“Same goes for you honey bun.” He leaned forward with his head in his hands. “We should keeping meeting up like this.”

“How’s Sunday at 10?” Y/n suggested.

“Make it Saturday and you got yourself a deal.” He grinned.

“Deal! It’s a date!” Y/n smiled but her joy faltered into curiosity as a thought crossed her mind. “Wait, was this a date?”

“I don’t know.” Mikey sat up and began to think. “Was it?”

“Have our other hangouts been dates?” Y/n spoke again. The two locked eyes.

“Oh my cheese.” Mikey gasped causing the two to bust into laughter.

“So wait!” Y/n giggled, tears practically brimming in the corners of her eyes. “Have we just been going out this entire time and neither of us noticed?”

“I guess.” Mikey laughed with a stunned expression. “Man, we should’ve kissed way sooner then.”

Y/n wrapped her arms around his neck, shoving her face into his chest as the two locked eyes again.

“Well given we’ve already been on soo many dates.” She held back a laugh. “I must ask, Michelangelo, would you do me the honour of becoming my official boyfriend?”

Mikey was practically beaming with joy. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in closer.

“Why of course, m’lady, there’s nothing I’d want more.”

The two smiled giddily and rested their foreheads against each other, briefly nuzzling their noses together before pulling back once more.

“As much as I’m feeling the energy right now, you should probably take me home before my parents completely freak out.” Y/n smiled meekly.

“Good call.” Mikey stood and picked her up again, this time twirling her around before fulling securing her in his arms. “Don’t want your parents hating me before we even get a chance to meet.”

“Oh my gosh Mikey!” Y/n laughed before resting her head back against his plastron.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally back home, y/n leaned through the window of her bedroom to talk to Mikey who was very delicately perched on the windowsill.

“You know, if we really have been going on dates this whole time I gotta say, no complaints.” Y/n sighed, smiling at her now boyfriend as he returned her grin.

“Me neither. I love-“ He was suddenly cut off by a buzz and quickly snatched his T-phone, opening up the call without a second thought.

“Mikey, where the hell are you!? We need you right now!” Raph screamed on the other end forcing Mikey to stretch the phone away from his ear.

“Relax dude I’m hanging with my girlfriend.” He replied sassily.

“Wha girlfriend!? Mikey right now is not the time for jokes!” Raph screamed back.

“I’m not joking dude I think you guys gave me like a good omen or something cos now I got a smart, hot, funny lady in front of me who’s waiting for me to kiss her goodnight!” He sent y/n a little wink in the middle of his speech making her heart soar.

“Ain’t no way.” Raph muttered on the other end. “I can’t believe this. Well, just get here asap alright? We’re getting pummeled out here!”

“Will do!” Mikey cheered before closing the call and tucking his phone away.

“So, how about that goodnight kiss?” Y/n smiled, head in her hands as her fingers tapped her cheek. “I’m waiting.”

Mikey gave a goofy smile and slowly leaned in only to get quickly pulled in by the top of his plastron. Y/n broke the kiss a moment too soon and gave him a half stern look.

“I’ll see you tomorrow. Now go save the city!”

“Yes ma’am!” He smiled brightly. “Duty calls!” He jumped down from the windowsill as y/n leaned over to spot him. She watched as he ran away into the night but not before turning back and blowing her a quick kiss.

Hope you liked it. Have an amazing day/night wherever you are!✨

Glad I Found You

2012!Raph x Reader

Just thought I might throw something out there as a silly little Christmas thing before the season ends.

The lair was filled with excitement as everyone was piled in and moving around. April was wrapping gifts with Donnie.

“Okay! That’s three gifts done already. What do you think Donnie?”

Her jaw dropped in awe, Donnie had already formed a detailed stack of wrapped gifts. The paper positioned perfectly with neat ribbons and bows covering the whole thing.

“How did you do that!?” He shrugged and smirked.

“Anything can be accomplished with the correct calculations.”

Just as he spoke Mikey came running through and toppled the pile of gifts taking Donnie with them.

“Mikey!” He yelled after lifting a gift away from his face.

“Sorry dude!” Mikey called back. “Gotta get these decorations going!”

He ran over to the tree the turtles had set up near the tv area. Leo had explicitly stated that they couldn’t put it against the wall as he wanted every decoration to be seen.

“Mikey, have you got the rest of them?” Leo asked frantically. Mikey panted and sighed as he dropped the heavy box of ornaments to the floor.

“Every last one.” He groaned before dropping to the floor.

“Come on Mikey don’t give up now. We’re so close.”

Mikey raised his hand and slipped an ornament onto one of the branches best he could until Leo panicked started yelling.

“What are you doing!?”

“What!?” Mikey shot up and frowned. “You said to not give up I assumed you meant decorating the tree so I kept decorating the tree!”

“Yeah but.” Leo plucked the ornament off. “I already said that the golds, reds and silvers can’t touch. It needs to look well structured. Candy canes on the tips of the branches, baubles on the top and bottom (without any clashing colours) and special ornaments in the middle. This isn’t going to work if we don’t follow the formula.”

Mikey groaned and collapsed on the floor again.

“I can’t bro. Go on without me, it’s too hard.”

“Suit yourself.” Leo smiled and continued reaching for more decorations.

Y/n smiled at the scene of the entire lair as she stepped inside. Mikey, given he was the only one unoccupied, was the first to notice her arrival.

“Hey, wassup dudette!”

“Hey Mikey!” She smiled and laughed. “How’s it going?”

“Ugh boring, Leo’s taking all the fun out of tree decorating! It’s not that deep bro.”

Rolling his eyes, Leo looked back and down at his younger brother.

“Uh yes it is, we’ve barely gotten a chance to celebrate Christmas over the last year or so, so I’m going to do whatever I can to make this one perfect.”

“Because that’s a healthy mentality to have.” Y/n smiled.

Leo frowned and sent her a glare which Y/n wuickly brushed off cheerfully.

“Hey Y/n, sorry I don’t expect you to know or anything but do you happen to know when Casey will be getting here?” April asked bashfully.

“Oooooh.” The three brothers all spoke in sync and immediately began laughing their heads off.”

“Oh shut up.” April rolled her eyes smiling.

“I’m not too sure.” Y/n replied, stifling a laugh herself, but I think he said his family thing ends around 4 so he should be here sometime after then.”

“Thanks. Sorry for asking I just wanted to to make sure he’ll be here so I can-“

“Give him your special gift?” Y/n giggled and sat down, leaning in next to her. The two made eye contact and started laughing together giddily.

“If you’re both done over there.” Donnie cut through with an amused look on his face. “I think there’s someone who wants to see you Y/n.” He spoke in a sing-song tone.

“Alright, where is he? I thought he’d be out here with the rest of you.”

“You all taking about Raph!?” Mikey called from across the room.” He’s been locked up in his room all day! Not sure why though.”

With a bright face, Y/n quickly stood up and began heading towards Raph’s room waving goodbye to everyone else.

“Knock knock.” She called from outside the door, not even bothering to wait for a reply before barging in.

“Ahh, Y/n! Jeez!” Raph panicked and turned around, fumbling with something in his hands.

“Oooh watcha got there?” She teased, walking closer.

“A gift.” He sighed rolling his eyes, looking down at the floor with red cheeks. He stuck his hand out presenting the wrapped present. “For you.”

Y/n’s eyes lit up as she held it in her hands.

“Can I open it now?” She asked curiously.

“What kind of a question is that? Yes, of course you can!”

She smiled and began to tear away at the paper. Soon she was able to view the gift fully, a red loom band bracelet. She gasped and slipped it on.

“Just cos, you know, we can’t always be together so I figured if you’re up top side during the day or something it can be like a little reminder of me or us or whatever. I don’t know.”

“Raph.” Y/n laughed tearfully. “How long did it take you to make?”

“I don’t know, the thing kept breaking and I had to follow these weird tutorials. I had to get Mikey’s help, Mikey! But it worked in the end I hope.”

Y/n pulled him tightly into a hug. Snuggling into him slightly.

“I love it. Ooh, before I forget!” She then began searching for her own gift which she had hidden somewhere on her. “Here!” She cheered, finally pulling out the slightly crumpled present. Raph carefully took it from her and began to open it delicately, soon noticing something shiny inside.

A thin, metal rectangle on a stand. It could rotate in a circle serving as almost fidget toy, or so he thought. As he kept spinning it, Y/n eventually placed her hand on his and looked him the eye.

“Read it.” She smiled. Raph glanced down and noticed that there was indeed writing on either side of the rectangle. He slowly read it out.

“There are over 6 million turtles in the world.” He flipped it over the the other side. “But out of all of them, I’m glad I found you.”

He held the gift silently for a second, Y/n was about to ask if he was ok till he looked up at her with teary eyes. He pulled Y/n into a tight hug which she gladly reciprocated.

“I’m glad I found you too.”

Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoyed. Have an awesome day/night wherever you are!✨

Do you think MM!Splinter knows about pet rats? Just something I wonder about.

I’m not too sure, given how much time he spent as a regular rat I’d assume he might. Then again, he never interacted with humans or human society much back then from what we know.🤔 I wonder, what if he chose to keep a pet rat?

SPLINTER: (Holding a sewer rat) So, I hear humans on the surface like to keep you as pets.

Rat bites him on the finger.

SPLINTER: I like you, I shall name you Stewart!

Proceeds to gather an army of rats all with names beginning with the letter S.

What are your thoughts? As usual, have an incredible day/night wherever you live.✨

Tottmnt!Turtles x Reader

I don’t have much to say for this other than, enjoy!

Leo

We’ve all seen what Leo is like with a crush

He’s an absolute mess

Leo was head over heels in love from day one

I know it’s extremely cliche but he can’t help it, it’s just how he is

He’ll be doodling you in his sketch book, daydreaming about you, imagining every possibility of what could happen whenever you two hang out

He loves to spend quality time with you and will make an effort to get it whenever he can

Even in class, if he has the chance to sit next to you “coincidentally” he’ll take it

And if you try to work with him on something, omg

Leaning into him to see his laptop, handing him a pencil, even if you just scoot closer to look at a textbook

He’ll be a flustered mess, he can’t handle it

He is paying attention to every physical exchange you two ever have I swear to god

Every moment, every second he will cherish with you

And his brothers tease him

Ruthlessly

An example would be one time in lunch

Leo was getting bullied by his brothers and you happened to walk by at the worst possible time

Ugh, I’m so tired! What did you just have? Math. But aren’t you normally good at math? Yes! But for some reason I was too tired to focus. Too tired or too busy thinking about Y/n Shut up. What about me?

Thankfully for Leo, you heard nothing but your name however it was still a close call

Another thing, he wishes he had the chance to look into your eyes

It might sound a little random but he’d love to just examine them and look at you freely

(Also, he read somewhere that people have a higher chance of falling in love when looking into each other’s eyes so…)

For the most part though, he’s just trying his best to hang out with you while secretly admiring your every being

Maybe one day he’ll tell you how he feels

One day

Raph

Raph doesn’t have a crush, he doesn’t get them

And on you of all people? Please

You bumped into him once, got all rude and snarky and now it seems you’re trying to one-up him in just about everything!

You’re a menace who’s so annoying that he can’t stop thinking about you

Seriously, he thinks about you a lot

Your strength, grades, social status, looks

But it’s not because he finds you attractive

No, he’s just trying to come up with creative ways to insult you

Like those stupid pretty eyes, weak

Or he could mention how you spend too much time on your hair since it looks so perfect everyday

Stupid pretty human

…

Yeahhhh

This guy is incredibly stubborn in accepting he has a crush

He’s even more stubborn when it comes to acting on said crush after finally accepting that he has one

Every time you talk to him it fills his body with so much energy that he just wants to punch someone

Which is normally what he does, typically one of his brothers

He doesn’t really understand when you try to be nice to him since it’s almost set in his mind that you hate him

Changing your relationship from a (one sided) rivalry to a friendship is just really confusing for him, but he‘s happy about it nonetheless

And while you do spark something in him that makes him inherently more aggressive, your presence can also calm him down

One time he saw you using a method of stress relief and asked about it

That was the day Raph learned about coping mechanisms

He’s pretty good at hiding how he feels when it counts so he doesn’t get too flustered around you

But be warned, if you do anything to show of your strength wether it be through flirting or showing off

He will be broken, frozen, prepared to get down on one knee and offer you a ring pop

What can I say, he has a thing for strong people

He can still be a bit on edge when accused of harbouring romantic feelings of any sort

But he’ll admit to it when he’s ready

Just wait

Donnie

Donnie doesn’t want to admit he has a crush

But he soooo has a crush

He’s the type to blush and feel flustered all the time

He’s scared to hold a normal conversation with you because he can’t have one without acting awkward

He notices you any time you’re in his eye view

His main strategy to get to know you is casually bring up common interests in hopes you’ll latch onto a conversation with him

He’ll be particularly excited if he discovers you’re a K-pop stan

And if you even know what AOT stands for, he’s set

He likes to imagine what life would be like if you guys dated

He’ll avoid eye contact but try to look at you

And when his brothers find out well…

They’re going to tease him but he is the designated holder of blackmail so revenge is easy for him to deliver

If he ever has to save you, the poor thing

He’ll be panicking 24/7 trying to make sure you get out alive and unscathed

Even after it’s all over he’ll still be checking you for injuries and hugging you tight for reassurance

You might disappear into thin air, he can’t risk that

Will 100% try to show off in math and science

And robotics? Stand back because he’s about to send all expectations through the roof

Literally, he can will and has blown up the classroom roof before

Donnie wants to confess and gets closer to doing so each day but for now he’s happy where his is with you

Just two classmates slowly bonding over pop culture and near-death experiences

Fun times

Mikey

Mikey I imagine would come off as extroverted at first but underneath is just a shy little sweetheart

He’s your number 1 fan, going to every concert, show, game, event, whatever you have going on

He doesn’t try to hide it from his brothers too much

Like, if they ask him about you he’ll just start kicking his feet and going into full detail

Loves giving you hugs, hugs are the best

And once you get close enough he’ll even lean on you from time to time

If you ever compliment him, you’ll get one of two responses

The first is that he’ll blush and act extremely bashful, waving it off completely

The second is that he’ll accept it with full grace and go on to bring up every story he has relating to said compliment

He also has a thing for “playful flirting” where he’ll act like it’s all jokes because you’re friends

This is how he gets away with looking at you for a prolonged amount of time, lifting up your chin with his finger, carrying you bridal style, hugging you from behind

He’ll call you gorgeous and laugh it off like he was just messing around :l

I will say, out of all the brothers he’s come the closest to confessing

Valentine’s Day, he noticed how you wouldn’t stop talking about wanting to celebrate it

So naturally he made you a card and got all the stereotypical gifts

Chocolate, flowers and even a little plushy he found

Mikey! You got me all this? Thank you! Seriously, this is so sweet, I need to give you something in return Don’t mention it, you deserve it Was there something you were wanting to tell me as well? …

He couldn’t do it, I’m so sorry

He couldn’t tell if you were joking or not

Besides, what was he meant to say? You’re really pretty Y/n, and funny and sweet and I‘m madly in love with you.

Oh wait

I hope you liked reading this. Have an awesome day/night wherever you are!✨

Hey 👋 so excited that you are writing for the boys of Tales of the tmnt. I was wondering if you can write something about the female reader going to the costume party dressed up as Leo’s favorite female character (whatever you like) and he ends up all cute and flustered that he can’t stop looking at the reader through out the party. Something fluffy and cute.

Please and Thank you 🙏

Love Interest

Tottmnt!Leo x Fem!Reader

Finally, I finished it!🎉🥳 Tbh, I wasn’t too sure who to put as Leo’s favourite female character and at first I was thinking more Star Trek (because I think it’s pretty well known that the Leo’s are sci-fi lovers) but I didn’t know how many people would be familiar with it so I chose to go off the Batman reference from the movie. Anyway, that was really unnecessary but I felt like sharing the process. Please enjoy, I hope you like it!

Down in the sewers, Leo was busy sprawled out on his bed, working on his comic book as usual.

“They’re heroes, yeah, woo, yeah!” He whispered as he continued drawing.

“You’re my hero Leo!” He whispered the words as he drew a picture of Y/n L/n, a friend from school he had started crushing on. He kicked his legs giddily as he began daydreaming of scenarios where he got to save her, show off his skills, hold her in his arms as they travelled along rooftops… if only that could be reality.

“Come on Leo, you’re gonna make us late!” Donnie called from the other side of the room.

“I’m coming, I’m coming!”

Instead of working on his comic tonight though, Leo was going to be attending a costume party with the rest of his brothers. They only had a little while to get ready, so the boys began getting dressed up and gathering their things.

“C’mon, ergh-almost! *huff* You couldn’t of gone with a more shell friendly outfit!?” Raph lifted his head up, he was helping Leo get on the rest of his costume.

“Come on, just pull!” Leo complained. They continued a back-and-forth struggle till the final piece eventually fell into place.

“There!” Raph huffed “You happy?”

“Yes actually.” Leo smiled proudly before his face shifted to a nervous frown. He began twisting around to check how he looked and anxiously glanced at Raph. “Do you think Y/n will like it?”

He burst out laughing. “Please, Y/n’ll like whatever costume you decide to put on. I mean, you look like a dork but I don’t think she’ll care.”

“Ok.. wait, what’s that supposed to mean?” But Leo wasn’t given an answer as Donnie came rushing between them.

“Do you think we should leave now or in a couple minutes? Cos the party starts in like 13 but I looked up party etiquette on Wikipedia and it says you’re supposed to be there 30 minutes after start time.”

“Wikipedia, seriously?” Leo judged.

“Well it’s not like you have any experience with this stuff!” Donnie pointed out.

“You’re right, I don’t.” Leo admitted. “And because of that, I say it’s best to just play it safe and leave now so we can arrive on time.”

“You just want to see Y/n, don’t you?” Mikey teased, poking out from behind the three.

“I do not!” He defended.

“Yeah right, I bet you can’t wait to see her all dressed up.” Donnie smirked.

“Oh please stop.”

“Yeah, and he’ll probably ask her to dance.” Raph joined in.

“Ask her to- what? No!”

“Aww you’re probably gonna try and get all cozy with her so you can start making out together. Mm mm mwa!” Mikey made the noise right next to Leo’s ear, causing him to jump.

“No, no and no.” Leo pointed at each of his brothers. “We’re just going to go and everything’s going to be chill, no one’s going try or ask or do anything. Ok?”

His brothers all exchanged squinted side-eyes before Donnie casually shrugged. “Whatever you say Nardo.”

“But seriously, let’s go. It’s party time!” Raph cheered as they all began to leave.

————————————

The lower half of building where the party was happening was entirely quiet in contrast to the loud bass and blaring lights that could be seen and heard towards the top level.

Leo and his brothers were caught up in some conversation when they opened the door but stopped as they were immediately swarmed by almost everyone in the room.

“Hey, oh my gosh it’s you!”

“Yo guys, the turtles are here!”

“Love the costumes.”

Amongst the chaos Leo managed to spot April doing her best to wave from the back of the crowd.

“Hey guys I see April, imma go over and say hi.”

“Yeah I gotta go to, see you all.” Donnie quickly waved as he headed over to talk to his friends.

As they all disbanded so did the crowd and Leo was able to easily walk across the room.

“Hey April!” He smiled and waved.

“Leo, hey! You all good after whatever that was.” April raised her eyebrows and glanced over to the entrance before looking back at Leo.

“Yeah, it’s still hard to get used to so many people liking us now.” He nervously laughed.

“Speaking of people who like you.” April mumbled. “Hey Y/n, Leo’s here!”

Y/n glanced to where the two were and turned to start walking over. “Oh, hey Leo!”

Leo looked over in her direction, feeling a pile of nerves simply at the prospect of greeting her. But when he saw what she was wearing everything increased by a million.

It was like one of those slow motion sparkly walks that you see in movies. Where everything fades out and all you can see is the pretty love interest waking forward with romantic music playing in the background. At least, that’s how Leo saw it.

“Hey, Y/n. Uh I like your costume. Catwoman! You look amazing.” His cheeks heated up the longer he spent looking at her.

“Thanks! I was originally thinking of going as Carol Marcus (Star Trek character, for those who don’t know) but I figured people would get this reference more.” She smiled and held her hands together.

Oh wow, so no matter what she wore she was going to end up dressing as the love interest for one of the heroes he pictured himself as. Leo figured he may as well die on the spot because his brain was no longer working.

“Oh, so you’re into older stuff. That’s pretty cool.” Seriously Leo, that just sounded obnoxious!

“Yeah. Well anyway, I’m going to go get something to drink. Do either of you want anything?” Y/n asked. April waved off the offer.

“Nah I’m good, thanks though!”

“You don’t need to get me anything.” Leo shyly smiled. Thank goodness blush was less visible on his skin or else he’d be dead.

“Okay! I’ll see you guys around then. See you later!” Y/n waved as she walked off into the crowd.

“Bye!” April called.

“See ya!” Leo anxiously chuckled. He stood in a slouched position for a moment.

“At least try to stand upright when you’re talking to her. You look like you just got punched in the gut.” April advised, causing Leo to stand upright quickly.

“Oh r-right, of course.” He coughed into his hand and gave April a blatant, overly toothy smile.

“So.” She spoke up. “What did you think of Y/n’s costume?”

“C-costume. Right, yes, her costume. I love it I think it’s really pretty and well-made.” Leo closed his eyes in an attempt to stay composed. An attempt that failed miserably, I might add.

“Maybe you should have gone as Batman, then you two could’ve paired up.” Leo frowned and gave April an aggressive side-eye.

“I hate you.”

“No you don’t.” April smiled and patted Leo on the head, causing him to sigh and look down.

“No I don’t.”

Y/n’s costume was the only thing on Leo’s mind for the rest of the night. Anytime he noticed her he couldn’t help but sneak glances every few minutes.

He was talking to a group of friends and had to be snapped back to reality as he couldn’t stop looking over in her direction.

There was even a point where she noticed him and he immediately looked away with a bright red face. But, then again, his face was already a blushing mess for most of the night.

He could barely get near Y/n because every time he did, his heart would race and he’d begin to feel an overwhelming amount of nerves? Love? Maybe a mix of both…

Either way, point is he was helpless. Helpless to his own feelings. So when everyone started gathering to dance to a popular song and Y/n grabbed his hand to pull him in, oh how the world felt irrelevant.

Little did he know, Y/n did this intentionally so she’d be able to dance with him. The two looked at each other and began laughing while uncontrollably smiling as the music played.

Feeling bold, Y/n decided to go in for a dip which caught Leo off-guard but he succeeded in catching her. Now they were even closer, very much unbelievably closer. What would happen if the two just inched their faces forward and…

“Who wants to play truth or dare!” Some random person yelled, leading the entire room to erupt into cheers.

Y/n quickly followed the large crowd of people as a circle started to form and waved over Leo as he was still repeating that entire sequence of events in his head. Was that a ‘we should kiss’ moment or a ‘we’re having fun’ moment because he really couldn’t tell!

Well now it was over and he instead found himself in a circle with Donnie on his right, Raph on his left, and Y/n sat opposite him from across the circle.

The game began and went on for a few rounds till some guy decided to point at Y/n.

“Y/n! Truth or dare?” Feeling hyped up, Y/n chose to go for the more interesting choice.

“Dare.”

The guy let out a menacing chuckle and began rubbing his hands together. “Alright, I dare you… to text your crush.”

“Pfft what are you, five?” Y/n burst out laughing.

“Five year olds can text now?” He asked.

Y/n rolled her eyes playfully before pulling her phone out. Leo’s mind started racing. Who was she going to text? Would it be him? What if it wasn’t him? What if she lied? What if it was one of his brothers? What if-

“I can’t, phones dead.” She shrugged before placing her phone back down beside her. The guy groaned.

“Ok. Then I dare you… to pledge your elegance to the holy sanctimony of caterpillar.”

“I’m sorry, what?” Y/n raised her eyebrows.

“It’s a thing.” He nonchalantly replied.

“It’s not a thing.” The girl next to him shook her head. He waved his hand dismissively at her.

“It’s totally a thing.”

“Alright then. I pledge my elegance to the holy sanctimony of caterpillar.” Y/n gave a confused look as the guy raised his fists.

“Huzzah! Welcome, to the caterpillar cult.” She stifled a laugh at his absurd announcement.

“What the? Uh, ok I guess that’s my turn. Um… Leo! Truth or dare?” She made eye contact with him, only briefly but still.

“Uh, um. Ehh truth.” Stupid Leo. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Y/n began to look around for ideas. “Ok, since we were on the topic of crushes I think it’s only right to ask; who do you have a crush on?” She smiled and leaned forward, followed by everyone else in the circle.

Honestly, she may have played it as a teasing joke but Y/n genuinely wanted to know. Yes she knew he’d probably lie but his response would at least give away something.

“Who do I have a crush on?” Leo began sweating bullets and avoided eye contact at all costs. “Uh well I have a crush on a girl, human, a human girl. Yep, that’s-that’s who it is.”

“Uh huh. Yeah I asked who they are not what they are so, I’m gonna need a little more information than that.” Y/n smiled deviously, she just wanted to know a little

more.

“She’s charming, s-smart, uh pretty very pretty ca-c-p-person that, of whom I know to a certain degree.” He began internally cringing at how he had stuttered. Dammit Leo! Why do you have to be you?

Y/n sat there for a good moment, analysing all the info she’d just got out of him. “Mmm… good enough! You go.”

He let out a quiet sigh of relief before turning to his right. “Whew. Donnie, truth or dare?

“Truth.” Not a moment of hesitation.

Leo smiled jokingly, hoping to act all teasing to take the pressure off of himself. “Who do you have a cru-“

“Don’t.” Donnie replied sternly.

“Ok.” He got the message and quickly reeled back.

The game finished up soon after and everyone split off to go do different things.

The rest of the night went as it did before. Leo would be talking to someone, look over in Y/n’s direction, feel like his stomach had turned into a butterfly enclosure and turn back to the people he was talking too, ignoring the increasing blush covering his face.

Every minute, every second, every waking moment of his existence had just been infiltrated by the thought of Y/n and her stunning outfit.

And Y/n noticed. Oh she noticed. It’s what led her to walk up to him the second she saw he was alone.

“Hey Leo.” She sat down next to him. Oh boy, here he goes again.

“Hey Y/n, again. How many times have we greeted each other tonight now?” Leo wondered leading Y/n to giggle slightly.

“I don’t know. The party’ll be over soon so I figured I’d try to sneak in one more moment with you before we all have to leave.” She leaned to the side and bumped her shoulder playfully with his. Leo’s eyes widened after hearing what she said.

“It’s already near the end? That was quick.” Y/n burst out laughing.

“Leo, it’s like 11pm. We’ve been here for hours!”

“Wait seriously!?” He sat up straighter with his hands as support before sinking back into a comfortable position. “Huh, time really does fly by.”

A moment of silence passed till Leo decided to ignore his nerves and speak up.

“By the way, I never actually told you how much I like your outfit.”

“Oh you don’t have to.” Y/n tried to wave him off.

“But seriously, it’s super pretty and looks amazing on you. I love it.” Leo grinned genuinely while gesturing to her outfit.

“Thanks Leo, I love your costume too. How did you even manage to get it on?” Y/n wondered.

“Help from Raph.” Leo stated.

“Ahh I see...” They both fell into silence again for a little while. Feeling nervous, Y/n glanced to the side and decided to just drop the bomb by asking “Are we- do we have a thing going on between us or is that just me being stupid?”

“Huh, uh w-what?” Leo’s eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at her. She in turn looked in his direction, although her gaze rested just a little off to the side from his face as she felt too anxious to make eye contact with him.

“Like I know, or at least I think I know, that you’ve been looking over at me a few times tonight and it felt like there was something going on back when we were dancing with everyone else. So I’m just wondering if it’s like a thing or not, you know?” Y/n chose to finally make eye contact with Leo and was met with his adorably awkward, blushing face.

“I’m going to be totally honest with you I assumed you just thought I was being weird.” He sunk his head down a little, tensing at the topic of conversation. Y/n smiled and shook her head in disbelief.

“Leo you’re like the most amazing person I know. Also, I’m not gonna lie, I thought it was pretty cute how you were acting the whole night.” She blushed and look down to the side again. Leo was once again overcome with surprise but tried his best to keep it together.

“You thought, oh. I think your pretty cute too uh not just in that costume but in general like I think your super pretty every day, all the time.” He laughed nervously and gave Y/n an adoring look.

“Ok I’m just going to say it because I think it’s super obvious at this point.” Y/n took a deep breath to try and calm down. “I’ve already practically said it but I like you. And I mean that in a more than friends way.” She confessed.

“Thank god, because I like you as so much more than a friend.” Leo sighed. Y/n smiled and decided to lean in, whispering something in his ear. Leo quickly perked up and his entire face turned pink.

“Heh.”

————————————

Leo smiled nervously as he walked back towards a corner of the room, Y/n following.

“You know I’m not really used to this kind of thing so I don’t know-“

He didn’t even get a complete sentence out before Y/n began to kiss him. They kissed again as she wrapped her arms around his neck and slightly pushed him further back. They went for another kiss and another before they both pulled away and Leo sighed.

“I love being a turtle.”

They both smiled and quickly went back to their make-out session. Best party ever.

What no one noticed though was the mysterious figure hidden on the side of a building facing the party. They were dressed in purple and black with a mask covering their entire face, yellow buggish eyes that looked almost like goggles, a long bandana wrapped around their head and the symbol of a red foot displayed clearly on the front of their outfit.

“I’ve located the turtles, and it looks like they’ve already made some friends.”

I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I know it’s just meant to be fluff but I couldn’t help myself, I need the foot clan to appear already 😭. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. Please keep requesting, peace, love, and have an awesome day/night wherever you are!✨

I'm surprised Ballerina!Reader didn't start yelling authoritatively in whatever language their ballet teacher spoke (probably Russian) when they got kidnapped.

Lol why can I pictured that scene so perfectly in my head though?🤣 In all honesty, I imagine their teacher would probably speak more English rather than a foreign language but, given all the terminology they’d have learnt over the years, it wouldn’t be surprising if they’ve picked up some French along the way. I imagine it would go something like this:

BALLERINA!READER: *tied high up in a warehouse* GET ME DOWN FORM HERE YOU CRIMINALS!

VILLAIN (probs purple dragons or something): Talking like that isn’t gonna make this any easier.

BALLERINA!READER: Oh really? How dare you think that you can just pluck me out of school whenever you please like some filthy chicken! Because of you, right now, I’m missing rehearsal. Rehearsal! And we were doing positioning today, now I’m probably going to get some left-over spot at the back! Thank you, stupid street bugs!

VILLAIN: Street bugs? Don’t call us that, you’ll hurt our feelings. We don’t care if you’re missing out on whatever dumb, little club you got going on. All we care about is getting what we want.

BALLERINA!READER: And that would be?

VILLAIN: Uh, well.. it’s um t-the turtl-

BALLERINA!READER: So you go through all this effort to corner me, knock me out, tie me up, and you can’t even tell me what you want from it!? Listen, you may not care about what I have going on but I do! So what are you trying to do, lure in the turtles? Then what? I’ll tell you what, you’re going to get beaten up and then sit here, in this decrepit old shack, feeling sorry for yourselves because it’s the only home you have! I’d ask what your parents think of this but you probably disowned them once you legally could because you wanted to be QUirKy and dIfFEreNt. You look like the kind of people who will listen to one song from a band and make it their entire personality. You don’t celebrate Christmas, you celebrate the day your parents labeled you a disappointment and kicked you out. And schools are just reminders of the education you decided to skip out on because you thought you could do better. Well look at you now, look at how you’re doing! This is just sad! How desperate do you have to be to start kidnapping teenagers for ransom so you can fight some turtles just to feel like your life has a purpose! You have no purpose, you-!!

*turtles break in*

MIKEY: You okay Y/n?

BALLERINA!READER: Mikey! I’m all good babe, just having a lovely little chat with these guys. Thanks for coming to save me! I love you, you’re the best!

MIKEY: Awww.

VILLAIN: *struggling with emotional damage* Huh, w-what?

MM/Tales Mikey and his S/O. being "improv bf and ballet gf"?

Improvised Ballet

Tottmnt!Mikey x Ballerina!Reader

Ok, I had no idea if that post was going to get out there but it did so that’ll you guys! I have 3 other request to work on at the moment and I love them all so thank you, keep it coming! I tried to stick to clichés mostly as I really wasn’t sure how to write this but I hope I did well so please, enjoy!

You and Mikey first met in dance

It seemed like a fun elective and most of his improv friends were doing it so he figured, why not?

Upon entering the classroom, you were one of the first people he noticed

You were just sitting there, doing some personal stretches before warm-up, and all he could think was

“Damn, that girl can bend like spaghetti! Or pizza I guess. Mmmm I love pizza. Shoot, now I’m craving pizza! With a golden crust and gooey, delicious cheese…”

“Mikey! We’re about to start dude.” He was so deep into his own thoughts his friend had to snap him out of it. Wouldn’t be the first time either

“Oh yeah totally, I’ll be right there.” And as he moved to go find a spot, he couldn’t help but notice you gazing over in his direction. Interesting… very interesting

As time went by he kept being drawn to you. He noticed you in the halls, at lunch, but most of the time he’d be caught looking over at you during dance

Eventually, the class had to split into groups and each work on a group piece to present. Turns out, you guys had quite a few mutual friends and ended up being dragged into the same group together

Mikey, ever the extrovert, immediately took the opportunity to introduce himself and you guys got to talking

He found out you were mainly there to do ballet. Also contemporary (as that was the main focus of the class) but mainly ballet

Also apparently the school has a dance team, sick!

He did get to hear all about the ballet classes you take out of school and all the pain joy that rehearsal brings

In all honesty, you love it, it just requires a lot of physical strength

From that day onwards, you guys kept talking and hanging in class, then out of class, then out of school

It was awesome and Mikey couldn’t be happier, he had found a new close friend

As you two hung out more, some feelings started to grow

Nothing really changed much but close contact like high-fives and hugs became increasingly heart-racing

Even sitting next to each other was enough to raise your heart rates

Also villains might of seen you two hanging out every now and then so there may have been some kidnappery that left you in need of saving

But it’s fine, you’re fine

Everything’s fine

It was actually after one of those daring rescues that he finally asked you out, after an attack on the school

He had originally planned to do a dance with your friends and make it a big gesture

But after that fight, he didn’t want to take any chances and possibly leave it too late

So, once everyone was safe and everything, he immediately ran to you

Y/n! Are you hurt or anything? Don’t worry Mikey, I’m fine. Okay cos I kind of have something to ask you. Sure, what is it? Will you go out with me?

He said it, straight up just like that

You said yes, obviously, but it wasn’t your answer he was super worried about

He just wanted the chance to let you know how he felt

And so, you two were quickly recognised as a couple around school

A theatre kid and a ballet kid, two performers each with unique styles that somehow mixed perfectly

Now, you had known who Mikey and his brothers were long before you two even first talked

I mean, the whole school knew about them; it wasn’t any big secret

But you’d never really talked to them in-person before not until they started teasing Mikey about his crush on you

Then they had to help save you and from there friendship was inevitable

Seriously, you can’t just ignore someone after they’ve helped save you… multiple times

And believe me, it doesn’t matter that you two were dating now, they still loved teasing Mikey about it

So sometimes you had to take extra measures to ensure payback was efficient

But don’t worry they still have their shells on, for now

However, there was one close friend of Mikey’s whom you struggled to get comfortable with

April

While I hate to say it, you and April didn’t get along easily

Being a ballet kid sometimes came with a bad rep and for someone like April, who had been picked on by so many people (including the ballet kids), trust wasn’t always easy to instil in others

You did manage to become friends though. Yes, some of the ballet people you hung out with weren’t the best and yes, you may have laughed along with their cruel jokes to try and fit in but that was the past

Also, surprisingly, April is super forgiving and chill so everything’s good between you two now

As for how you and Mikey are as an actual couple, well…

There’s running through halls

MIKEY, DROP THE GLITTER BOMB! But Donnie made it just for meeee! That doesn’t-no-stop-get back here you turd! TURD!? What kind of an insult is that! Mikey! Catch me if you can!

Crying to movies

Why’d they have to kill the dog! I don’t know. I loved that little guy. *sniffle* I-I know *simultaneous sobbing*

Mikey teaching you improv

So the idea is we go around in a circle and keep a steady rhythm. And you keep that rhythm by using hand gestures and yelling ‘wah’? Exactly! Ok… just wondering, how does this relate to improv? I don’t know. I guess it’s cos it makes you think on the spot. Right.

And you teaching Mikey ballet

Come on, stretch! Ahhh! Stretch! I-I can’t! Yes you can! Now STRETCH! Aaaoooww!!!

Oh, and sometimes you have to be a bit strict with him

Mikey loves chaos and has been raised on it but you’ve been taught to follow the rules so much that not doing so almost seems terrifying

So if, on the odd occasion, Mikey is trying to hide something from you it’s ok

He’s not cheating, just breaking the law

He loves attending your concerts and follows no laws of theatre etiquette which can be embarrassing but also adorable

You, on the other hand, found it almost life-changing to go to one of Mikey’s improv nights

The audience interaction and goofy scenes made it all so thrilling and exciting

And while you do have friends who had been doing improv for ages, you’d never actually attended one of the shows before

But your bf is the exception, forever and always

You still haven’t met his dad as you refuse to enter the sewers and Splinter still struggles with coming out in broad daylight

And your parents are yet to hear of your relationship as you have no idea how they’d feel about you dating a mutant turtle

They do, of course, know of your friendship but perhaps you’ll wait a bit before breaking the news that it’s a little more now

And the shots they’d make you take just for kissing him, the thought is draining

Besides, it can’t be that dangerous to kiss a turtle… can it?

👀

And don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the precious mutanimals

They know of you but you are yet to meet, you’ll talk eventually though

Overall, your relationship is messy, chaotic, thrilling and partially secretive

But it feels right

I hope I did good. Also, I’m an ex-ballet kid and a current theatre kid so I found this hilarious to write. And I do mean ex-ballet kid, I haven’t done proper classes in years so apologies if I got some stuff wrong. Anyway, as usual, please have a lovely day/night wherever you are!✨

Hello! I was wondering if I can request a fem (she/her) reader x 2012 donnie where reader is basically April. Just in the way of how Donnie is infatuated with her. Maybe something of reader being the exact same way and watching him as well and they bump into each other on the way to stalk the other and they end up confessing to each other and happily ever after! (im projecting so hard RN I'm sorry-)

Have a good day!/night!

Nightly Walk

2012!Donnie x Fem!Reader

Sorry this took me a while to finish. I was working on it and then school came back and I’ve been so focused on everything that I barely had any time to work on it. But, I finally finished it so here it is!

Y/n had known the turtles for years. She met them when she was six, began training when she was eight and became an official kunoichi by the time she was about twelve.

The day her sister and father, April and Kirby, happened to meet the turtles as well was a complete accident and certainly not how she imagined it happening but that’s how it went nonetheless.

Ever since she’s been fighting alongside the turtles, training with Master Splinter and assisting her sister in becoming a fully-fledged kunoichi just as she is.

There’s one thing missing from this story though, a crucial piece of information. See, through all her years of knowing the turtles Y/n could never imagine falling for any of them. They were her secret family, her brothers.

But the day she and her family got captured, the day her two worlds collided, was also the day she found herself in Donnie’s arms, looking into his eyes as he held her close while Kraang droids fired from all angles. That was the day she fell for him.

And oh did she fall hard. From that day onwards Y/n was completely infatuated with Donnie and little did she know he felt the exact same.

Unfortunately, there was no subtlety granted for either of the two with their overwhelming feelings. They constantly ended up outing themselves to each other.

Like that time Y/n answered the phone after fighting off a tonne of foot soldiers to try and save April from Karai.

“Hey Donnie!”

“Y/n, you’re ok! You hear that guys? My sweet princess is alive! Did I mute that?”

Upon hearing him, Y/n dropped to the ground with heart eyes leading to April quickly grabbing the phone and responding.

“Just imagine you did.”

Or the time Donnie saved Y/n and April’s dad and she ran to hug him.

“I love you Donnie!”

“Y-you do?”

“As a friend! I love you as a friend.”

“Uh yeah totally, the friendliest.”

And then there was the time they almost kissed.

“You’re not just a mutant, Donnie. You mean more to me than anyone in the world.”

“And you mean the world to me.”

The two stared into each others eyes in a close embrace, faces no more than an inch apart. Donnie had decided to just go for it and leaned in when-

“Yo! What type of pizza do you guys want? I got extra cheesy pepperoni or sweet and sour gummy bears.”

You can imagine who that was. So, you would think that after all the catching and hugging and blushing and near kissing that the two would have some idea of how the other felt. Sadly, they both also happen to be the densest idiots in the entire universe.

————————————

The night started in the lair as Donnie grabbed his bō staff and prepared to leave. Upon seeing him walking towards the exit, Leo looked over and asked.

“Where are you going?”

“Off to see Y/n? Mwa mwa mwa!” Mikey teased, leaning over on the edge of the couch.

Donnie rolled his eyes in annoyance. “No, I’m going for an early patrol. Not everything in my life revolves around Y/n you know.”

“You say that, but then… you’re you.” Raph pointed out.

“We know you want to see her, her gorgeous hair, and sparkly eyes!” Mikey exaggerated with over the top gestures.

“I love her eyes.” Donnie sighed dreamily, giggling slightly as he leant against wall.

“See! You can admit it to us now you just gotta go and tell her.”

“Thanks for the advice Raph but I’m good; there’s this thing called social awareness though I doubt you have any of that in your system.” Donnie smirked with his brows raised, clearly trying to provoke his older brother.

Raph quickly pushed himself up off the couch and began storming towards him.

“Alright, if you’re so socially aware then read the room and tell me how long you think it’ll take for me have you de-shelled and crying on the floor?”

“Ok Raph, why don’t you go take a little breather?” Leo turned Raph around in an attempt to reason with him.

“Fine!” Raph whipped his head around and glared at Donnie. “But when you come back you better hope I’m asleep or else I swear-“

“Bye Raph.” Leo smiled after shoving Raph into another room. He stood thoughtfully for a moment before looking back at Donnie.

“Donnie, has it ever occurred to you that Y/n might feel the same way you do?”

“Ha! That’s hilarious Leo, you should be a comedian.” Donnie began cracking up at the thought.

“Hey, comedy’s my thing!” Mikey stood up and pouted with his arms crossed.

“I’m serious!” Leo took a step forward. “Just think back on every interaction you’ve ever had and tell me she doesn’t like you.”

Donnie thought about it carefully. Now that he was looking at it, it really seemed like-

“Nope! I’d rather just play it safe.” He smiled nonchalantly.

Mikey and Leo collectively facepalmed. Why oh why did their poor purple brother have to be so smart and yet so dumb.

“Well, I’ll be out. Don’t go in my lab, don’t touch my stuff and stay out of me and Y/n’s business. What did I say?” Donnie gestured to them.

“Don’t go in your lab, don’t touch your stuff and stay out of you and Y/n’s business.” The other two turtles repeated. Their voices replicated that of a fist grade classroom.

“Great, I’ll see you later!” Donnie smiled and sent them a wave before walking out.

“You gonna text her?” Mikey asked.

“She already knows.” Leo replied quickly, pressing a button on his T-Phone.

————————————

“He’s just the best isnt he April?” Y/n smiled with her head in her hands.

“Yeah, Donnie’s great I guess.” April raised her eyebrow at Y/n’s actions. She knew she was down bad but man could it be tiring.

“But don’t you just feel like he’s the most incredible, smartest, coolest, kindest guy ever!” Y/n squeaked and spun around, holding her hands to her chest.

“No not really. But that’s probably because I’m not in love with him.”

“Well I wouldn’t say I’m in love I just admire him.”

April sent her a judging look.

“Well it’s not like you’re any better with Casey.” Y/n defended.

“Uh last I checked I’m not tracking his location and pretending to go on walks as an excuse to follow him.” April placed a hand on her hip and smugly looked at Y/n.

“Leo texted me, he’s going for an early patrol. I just want to make sure that he has some backup if he gets into trouble.” She argued in a futile attempt to defend herself.

“Whatever you say. Have fun but don’t expect me to bail you out when you’re stuck on a random street with no way home.” April laughed only half joking.

“You’re the worst!” Y/n called out as she walked out the door.

“Love you too!” April yelled back.

————————————

And so Y/n began her journey through the streets of NYC. Had she been a normal person this would’ve practically been a life sentence but Y/n was confident, if she could take on giant mutants and an army of robot soldiers she could handle New York at night.

She continued checking her phone, following the little dot that represented Donnie in hopes of seeing him jumping over roofs. In all honesty, Y/n understood that there was a creepy element to this, that it could be a little unsettling to follow your friend around at night, but there was more to it than just romantic feelings.

Y/n genuinely understood the dangers the turtles faced and didn’t want to imagine what could happen to Donnie if he was caught alone in the middle of the city. What if Tigerclaw got to him, or worse, the Shredder!?

Sometimes you need to do uncomfortable things for your friends and when your friends are mutant turtles being hunted down by every criminal and scientific operation running in the city, that tends to involve protectively watching over them to ensure their safety.

While caught up in her self-assuring thoughts, Y/n noticed Donnie’s tracker seemed to be right near her. She looked around quickly and saw him briefly jump over a building. Finally, she found him. However he seemed to be doing fine so there was no need to jump into any major fights at the moment. She chose to simply follow close behind and admire him from afar.

But as she kept walking Y/n soon noticed a familiar restaurant coming into view. Murikami’s! Since she had his location and there was no imminent threat, she figured it would be fine to quickly order some food before returning to her walk so she stepped inside.

Meanwhile, on Donnie’s side of the story, he hadn’t noticed Y/n at all. It wasn’t till he took a quick rest on a rooftop and saw someone heading into Murikami’s shop that he managed to get a look at her. Wow, she was so pretty, and brave, and she likes to take walks. He’d love to go on walks with her, hand in hand, talking about stuff… He began to feel a buzzing against his body and could hear his ringtone begin to play.

Donnie quickly pulled his phone out of his belt. Mikey! What did he want now? He frantically answered the call in hopes he wouldn’t be spotted on the roof. Thankfully he wasn’t but he did miss Y/n walking out of the restaurant and making her way to the fire escape of the same building he was standing on.

“Thanks Murikami-san.” Y/n thanked before making her way towards the door.

“Anytime Y/n-chan.” He returned her smile and began packing up for the night.

As Y/n made her way outside, she decided to take a small break from all the walking and standing and decided it would be best to relax on one of the rooftops.

She carefully made her way up the fire escape, unaware of the chaotic phone call occurring above.

“Yo Dee! Do you think you can pick me up some pizza while you’re out? I’m starving.” Mikey yelled into the phone.

“Ugggh, Mikey! I’m kind of busy right now, not the best time.” Donnie shouted back.

“Ok ok, jeez. I’ll ask April to get some.”

“Thank you.” Donnie sighed and switch off his phone after Mikey hung up. Unfortunately, when he looked over at Murikami’s shop Y/n was no where to be found. He let out a frustrated groan and turned around to go look for her somewhere else when…

“Ahh!”

He and Y/n bumped into each other, literally. The second they registered the situation they both began making excuses quickly to cover up the intentions of their separate outings. They were both talking over each other though, so neither could really understand what the other was saying anyway.

“Woah! Y/n! Y-you’re here! How’s it going? I was just going for an early patrol it’s nothing, why are you out here? Wait never mind, that’s stupid you’re obviously getting food. Not that I saw you ordering it or anything, I’m just guessing by the fact you’re holding it. Sorry if I’ve ruined your night or anything, I can stay if you want or leave. Whatever makes you feel better.”

“Donnie, hi! I didn’t realise you’d be up here, I was just going for a walk and figured I’d get something from Murikami’s before he closed up. I had no idea you were on this rooftop, genuinely, I haven’t checked the trackers all night! Sorry if anything got on you I should’ve been looking more carefully at where I was walking. I’m just being stupid tonight.”

As they both quieted down Y/n held up her bag of take-out and nervously smiled. “Want to split it?”

—————————

As the streets of New York buzzed with energy, Y/n and Donnie sat side-by-side on the edge of the building they were on, the bag of food finished and discarded to the side.

“No that was so embarrassing.” Y/n cringed and his her face in her hands.

“You want to talk embarrassing, try counting the amount of times my experiments have gone wrong.”

“Ok, but experimentation is important no matter the results. Either way you’re gaining new information.” Y/n pointed out. Donnie nodded his head in agreement.

“True, very true. Perhaps I should start testing how much garbage Mikey is willing to eat.”

“Now that would be a scientific discovery.” Y/n cheered and the two burst out laughing.

Y/n calmed herself before relaxing her body and resting her head on Donnie’s shoulder. Both went into a momentary internal panic and began to tense up. However, once Y/n looked up and examined Donnie’s red face she decided to roll with it and wrapped her hands around his arm, snuggling into his side.

They stayed in peaceful silence a moment longer before Y/n eventually decided to speak.

“You want to know a secret? I wasn’t actually just going on a walk tonight.” Donnie looked at her curiously as she continued. “In all honesty, I was kind of just following you to make sure you were ok.”

Donnie looked down in shock at her. She was following him? But he was following her!

“You know what’s funny, I wasn’t going on an early patrol either. I was actually going to check that you were safe.”

Y/n laughed and lifted her head up. “I guess we’re both liars then.”

“I guess we are.” Donnie agreed, gazing at her with lovesick eyes.

They began to eat closer to each other, inching bit by bit.

“Donnie…” Y/n was about to continue but as she looked up, she saw a ninja star flying towards them. “Look out!”

She pushed him down and the two scrambled to get away from danger.

“Footbots!” Donnie called out.

“What do they want with us!?” Y/n shouted.

“What do they not want with us!?” Donnie replied.

So yeahhh that night didn’t go too well for them. Thankfully, they were able to get rid of the footbots but then Bebop and Rocksteady showed up! Tigerclaw was apparently meant to also show alongside Rahzar and Fishface but it sounded like they had caught the others on patrol. Details, details! What’s important is that now Y/n and Donnie were on a new roof in a major struggle against two mutants that were somehow beating them… badly.

Donnie and Y/n had been fighting off Bebop and Rocksteady for some time now. They were doing well until Bebop managed to land a punch on Donnie, causing him to drop his staff and stumble back slightly. Rocksteady quickly grabbed Donnie from behind and began to squeez him tightly.

“Agh!” Donnie cried out in pain. Y/n stopped fighting Bebop for a moment and noticed his situation. She started running over to him but was pulled back by Bebop and was forced to watch instead.

“Why are you turtles so hard to break eh?” Rocksteady asked as he kept tightening his grip.

“Donnie! Hold on, I’ll get you out!” Y/n shouted but her words meant nothing as she was unable to move. Then she heard it, a crack and a scream. Her eyes watered and she broke down into tears.

“Please stop it, just let him go and leave.” Bebop loosened his grip slightly and frowned, almost feeling sympathy for her.

“Tell your bosses what you want just let him go.” Y/n begged, now on her knees. Rocksteady began to copy Bebop and started second guessing himself. They had done some horrible things but could they really kill this guy in front of his friend?

Donnie noticed Rocksteady’s looser grip and used the last of his strength to kick him away. “Hiya!”

Y/n copied his actions and picked Donnie’s bō staff off the ground which he grabbed as he took a defensive position next to her. They were prepared to fight a little more till they noticed the two villains were both in tears.

“We’ll leave you guys alone, ok? We’re sorry!” Bebop cried.

“Uh what?” Y/n raised her eyebrow and moved to stand normally.

“Man, why y’all gotta be so emotional? Like damn!”

“We shall take our leave but do not expect this in the future.” Rocksteady pointed towards them as he began stepping back, ready to leave.

“Y-yeah you better not expect it, cause we’re not normally this nice… losers.” As Bebop finished, they both ran away presumably back Shredder’s lair.

“Well that was odd.” Y/n commented.

“Yea-argh!” Donnie held a hand over his shell in pain.

“Oh no, Donnie!” Y/n turned to him.

“I’m fine.” Donnie stuck his hand up and attempted to stand properly but quickly fell out of balance. Y/n ran to catch him and pulled him forwards before he landed on the pavement. She began to feel his shell and noticed a crack. “We’ll get you patched up at the lair, ok?”

“Yeah.” Donnie responded. The two stood there, holding each other for a brief moment to allow their heart rates to go down a bit.

“I can’t believe you almost died.” Y/n breathed out.

“Just part of the routine at this point.” Donnie shrugged it off but Y/n pulled him closer.

“No, no but this time you really could’ve died. Like actually died right in front of me.”

“Yeah but-“

“And it wasn’t like the other times.” Y/n turned to face him with a stern look. “I know when you guys are able to get out of tough situations, I’ve seen it a million times, but this was different.”

“Y/n-” he attempted to look away but she grabbed his head and forced him to meet her eye-to-eye.

“I care about you Donnie and that was scary. Like really scary.”

Donnie frowned and lowered Y/n’s right wrist with his left hand. She smiled, tearfully.

“I need you, you mean more to me than anyone in the world.” Donnie returned her expression.

“And you mean the world to me.” The two then finally, finally, leaned in and kissed. They still had a lot more to deal with but for now, they were happy.

I hope you enjoyed reading! Thank you so much for the request (I loved it) and please, have an incredible day/night wherever it is you reside!✨

Tales of the TMNT!!!!💜✨🫶💙🧡✨❤️✨🫶

I was finally able to watch the new tmnt series yesterday and while I was disappointed slightly (I was hoping Bishop was going to be an utrom with her mechazoids actually being krangdroids) I also absolutely LOVED IT! Also, the fact that Pigeon Pete is back and voiced by Christopher Mintz-Plasse just made my day. Sorry if anyone hasn’t seen it yet, I feel like I’m just spoiling everything but it was just too good. It feels like the perfect mix of rise and 2012, they have all the original characters and names but with their own twists and genderbends. And they all looked so cuuuuuteee!!! So please, please, I am begging u guys. Send in requests for the new series because I need an excuse to write about these adorable little guys. Pls, have an incredible day/night wherever you currently are!✨

He Likes Me

Rise!Donnie x Gn!Reader

This isn’t a request or part of anything bigger, just a happy oneshot to brighten your mood. Enjoy!

It was saturday which meant that April and Y/n were able to spend the day at the lair with their favourite turtle brothers. Donnie had been tinkering with some new gadget whatcha-ma-who, Mikey was reading through a new cookbook April brought him, Leo and Raph were caught up in a competitive video game while April and Y/n found themselves wrapped up in their phones. As for Splinter you may ask? He had some “important errands to run” whatever that meant.

Something that caught Aprils eye though was the focused expression on Y/n’s face and the consistent scrolling on their phone. Something was up.

“You ok Y/n?” She turned to face them. Y/n paused what they were doing and quickly tried to cover up the truth.

“Uh yep! Totally fine, there’s nothing going on at least not with me at the moment.” They flashed a bright toothy smile that couldn’t have seemed more fake, prompting Mikey to speak up from his book.

“Hmm I’m no expert, well maybe I am, but you don’t seem fine.” Leo looked over his shoulder towards the conversation.

“You can tell us if something’s bothering you.” Suddenly a loud crashing noise came from the game as Raph held his arms up in victory.

“Ha, yes! Suck it Leo!”

“Wha- no!” Leo dramatically called out after turning back to the screen. Donnie sighed and rolled his eyes at the sight.

“Dumb dumbs.” He muttered under his breath before looking over at Y/n.

“Look Y/n, we know you and you know us and knowing you there’s definitely something wrong so I highly recommend telling us what it is before Mikey and April try to force it out of you.”

“Mikey and April aren’t going to-“ Y/n cut themself off seeing the demonic looks on April and Mikey’s faces directed at them.

“Okay, okay I’ll come clean!” They shouted. “I have… *sigh* a date.”

“A date?” April looked at them.

“A date!?” Mikey, Leo and Raph all simultaneously spoke.

“A date…” Donnie reluctantly spoke out, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over him. No that wasn’t quite it, perhaps animosity?

“Oh ho Y/n pulling all the guys, or girls o-or- who are you going out with exactly?” Leo asked.

“Just some guy from school, his name’s Melvin.” Y/n explained. “He’s sweet and I think he really likes me.”

“But do you like him?” Mikey questioned, leaning in close towards them. Almost like an interrogation.

“Well yeah, I mean why else would I go out with him?”

“Hmmm.” Mikey stroked his chin consciously. “Fair point.” He backed away to a more comfortable distance.

“I’m just kind of nervous since it’s my first ever date and I don’t exactly want to make a bad impression.” April perked up at Y/n’s words and quickly grabbed their hand.

“Well if it’s help you need, then it’s help you’ll get. Bye boys we’ll be back in an hour!” April cheered and pulled Y/n off to her house. The brothers sat staring silently at where April and Y/n had been seconds ago.

“Uh, bye.” Raph spoke to no one now that they were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At April’s house, Y/n was trying on different outfits while they talked.

“Look Y/n, I’m happy you got this date and all but I’m confused, I thought you liked Donnie?” Y/n hesitated as they came out in their next outfit of choice.

“I… I do but I’ve decided that it might be time to move on.”

“Move on!?” This sent April into an internal panic. She knew Donnie liked Y/n and Y/n liked Donnie. If they moved on then the two might miss out on what could have been something incredible for both of them. Not to mention Donnie would be heartbroken!

“Yeah.” Y/n continued. “It’s just that I’ve liked him for years now. Since we were what, eight? And he hasn’t shown any signs of liking me back, at least none that I’ve noticed.”

“Well you never know, maybe he’s just worried that you won’t feel the same way about him.” April suggested in hopes of sending Y/n some hints.

“Maybe. But I just can’t help but feel as though I’m hanging on to something that’s never going to happen. That if I keep holding on to it I’ll continue miss out on other opportunities. I want to be able to have something with someone and I have to accept that that someone might not be Donnie.” Y/n sadly explained. Truthfully, they didn’t want to let their feelings for Donnie go but it was the healthy thing to do.

“That’s really mature of you Y/n.” April smiled sadly. She might not have wanted Y/n to let Donnie go however she couldn’t help but be proud of her younger friend.

“On a more positive note, what do we think of this? I was kind of going for casual but pretty and well done.” Y/n turned to show off different angles of the outfit to April.

“Girl you look gorgeous; anyone would grateful to get to see you tonight.” April hyped them up and the two excitedly hugged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the lair things weren’t going as great. Leo, Raph and Mikey knew of their brother’s long term feelings for Y/n and were struggling to find an appropriate way to console him.

“H-hey think about it this way, if it goes badly then you’ll be able to get closer to Y/n by comforting them.” Leo suggested, immediately receiving a smack on the back of his head from Raph.

“Leo are you suggesting I take advantage of Y/n’s emotional state and manipulate them into liking me by providing a source of comfort purely for my own personal gain?” Donnie frowned.

“Uh yes?” Leo hesitantly confirmed.

“Oh for the love of science, I’m looking for advice here Leo. I want to be supportive not narcissistic and callous!” Mikey quickly pushed Leo to the side in a futile attempt to save what little chance they had left of helping their brother.

“Don’t worry D. Look, everyone deals with all sorts of emotions from time to time and jealousy is an extremely common-“

“I’m not jealous.” Donnie cut Mikey off. The younger turtle sighed.

“Right. Well if you want to be able to be supportive of Y/n and not feel any resentment towards their arrangement then it might be time to… let those feelings go.” All three brothers exchanged nervous glances, unsure of how Donnie would react.

“You know what.” He spoke up. “You’re right, you are absolutely right. This has gone on for far too long and it’s time I moved on.”

“Wait seriously?” Raph raised an eyebrow at Donnie’s response. Unbelieving that he would be accepting so quickly.

“Yes seriously. From now on my feelings for Y/n are no more and nothing is going to change that.” Donnie turned around in pride only for his heart to stop at the sight. April and Y/n had finally returned and boy did Y/n look ever so gorgeous. “Sweet Galileo.” He whispered as his pupils shrunk.

“Hey boys we’re back!” April cheered as she and Y/n walked closer.

“Looking good Y/n.” Leo called out.

“You’re gonna own tonight.” Mikey cheered.

“And if he even thinks of laying a hand on you! Just call us, we’ll take care of it no problem.” Raph smiled brightly to cover up his protectiveness.

“Aww you guys are too kind. We do have to leave soon, again, but we just wanted to pop down to get a final verdict on the outfit. It seems you three like it, Donnie?” He turned to face Y/n who was now looking over in his direction. “What do you think?” He looked at them for a moment in contemplation before sighing and smiling warmly.

“You look… absolutely stunning. He’s a really lucky guy.” Y/n returned his look with a genuine smile.

“Thanks that means a lot coming from you.” They smiled bashfully at the ground, their cheeks turning red. The moment was cut short when Y/n noticed the time on their watch and went back to stressing.

“Ooh well it looks like it’s time to head off; I’ll let you guys know how it goes. Shall we?” Y/n smiled at April.

“We shall.” April nodded her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Bye Y/n! Make good choices!” April called out to Y/n who was now walking away with their date.

“I will!” Y/n smiled and laughed at Aprils enthusiasm. Melvin turned to face them.

“Your friend seems very eccentric.” He gave a toothy smile.

“She sure is.” Y/n agreed as the two walked away. Something odd caught April’s eye though. She noticed with the glint in his teeth how the boy looked almost like he had fangs. Her eyes quickly moved to examine Melvin once more before he disappeared from her vision and what she saw caused her to gasp in fear.

Under the boys large coat was the very end of a tail sticking out. Whatever he was, he certainly wasn’t human and the fact that he was hiding it couldn’t mean anything good.

She quickly dashed away, heading down the streets of NYC to find the nearest manhole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Boys, we have a problem!”

The turtle brothers looked over at April who had quickly run into the lair.

“And that would be?” Leo asked, looking around carelessly.

“I think Y/n’s date might be a mutant.”

“No!” Raph called out as the boys shrieked in fear.

“Or a Yōkai.” April continued.

“Gasp!” Donnie shouted as the brothers let out an even more panicked reaction.

“Or even some sort of alien-type monster!”

“Oh my god!” Mikey cried, holding his head in his hands as they all pulled the most horrified looks they possibly could.

“Wait, wait, wait. What makes you think he (Maaa, Mor, M-Melvin was it?) could be any of those things?” Leo asked prompting the others to look to April for an answer.

“He had a tail and fangs. He was also clearly trying to hide it and I don’t know about you guys but whenever someone’s trying to hide that they’re a non-human creature I don’t usually take it as a good sign.”

Mikey frowned for a moment before looking back at April.

“But Y/n was so excited about this date. We can’t just go and ruin it now.”

“Yeah, I mean, and besides what if you’re wrong and the guy’s perfectly normal?” Raph had a good point, it was entirely possible this person wanted to cause no harm.

“Well if you guys don’t believe me then come see for yourselves. We won’t interrupt them, just take a good look at the guy because I am positive there is no way he’s human.” April suggested, she hoped they would agree because at this stage she couldn’t take on a whole mutant by herself even with Y/n’s assistance.

“If what you’re proposing is true, and I’m not saying it is, then I suppose it makes sense to go and check it out.” Donnie agreed, of course he did. Truthfully he was just taking this as an excuse to see how the two were going. How much Y/n liked him, if he was treating them right, how close they had gotten.

April sighed with relief that they had all agreed. She knew it was unlikely but somewhere deep down she hoped this guy wasn’t a threat. Hopefully, somehow, maybe Raph was right and he was totally harmless… hopefully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for Y/n, they were blissfully unawhere of any danger and were currently enjoying their romantic night.

“So do you have any hobbies?” They asked in hopes of getting to know more about Melvin.

“Oh nothing much, mainly artistry and a bit of sport. I was actually enlisted by this club to go and recruit new members for them.”

“Oh that sounds cool.” Y/n perked up. They didn’t want to give the impression they were overly interested but were curious about this ‘club’ nonetheless.

“Yeah it’s like a fighting arena type thing.” The guy went on. “It wasn’t easy but I guess they saw potential in me.”

“I guess they did.” Y/n smiled. They then looked around noticing how their surroundings had drastically changed from the rows of grey concrete buildings to a beautiful lush green park “This is my favourite part of the city! How did you know?”

“Lucky guess?” Melvin smiled and shrugged causing Y/n to laugh cheerfully and pull him along.

“Come on, let’s go!”

Unknown by the two teens, behind them were April and the turtles huddled tightly in a bush to discreetly watch them.

“Ugh I can’t see!” Leo whined in a hushed voice while trying to push Raph to the side.

“Then look harder. Don’t try to push me out, you’ll blow our cover!” Raph whispered back. Leo kept shoving around and pushed Donnie causing his goggles to fall on his head.

“Now I can’t see! What’s going on? Are they talking, have they kissed?”

“SHUT UP DONNIE!” The other four yelled before quickly hiding back in the bush in hopes they hadn’t made their presence known.

“Did you hear something?” Y/n asked, curiously turning around to see where the noise had come from.

“I didn’t hear anything” Melvin shrugged, his smile taking on an unnerving tone.

In the bush, Leo was still bickering with Raph. April was shoving Donnie to the side as he was being pushed into her by the force of Raph and Leo’s back-and-forth shoves. Poor Mikey was stuck nervously at the edge of the bush, watching Y/n and Melvin talk as he struggled to avoid exposing himself.

“Can you two please stop, that it is very annoying!” Donnie complained to his fighting brothers. Soon enough he managed to get enough space to move his goggles efficiently. He began to lift them up back to the designated spot on top of his head.

“Finally I can see what’s going on and- wait!” He stopped when he saw something curious as they passed over his eyes. He properly positioned them so he could see through them and began to inspect the scene in front of them.

“Uh guys, April may have been right.”

The two brothers stopped fighting and Mikey sighed in relief as he was one toe away from falling out.

“What are you talking about?” Raph asked.

“I can’t believe I didn’t think of checking sooner but this Melvin guy is radiating a lot of mystic energy.” Donnie spoke as he adjusted his goggles.

“Ha! I told you all!” April cheered and pointed at the brothers in victory. “Wait…” she then came to the realisation. “That’s not good, Y/n’s in danger! Code red, code red!”

“We don’t even have a code red!” Leo pointed out, exasperated.

“Ooh this is bad, what are we gonna do!?” Mikey panicked.

“What do you mean, ‘what are we gonna do’? I’ll tell you what we’re going to do, we’re going to go out there and kick some mystic butt!” Raph punched the palm of his hand. April and the three younger brothers all nodded their heads in sync.

Y/n and Melvin continued to walk around in the same spot for a while, still asking each other different questions.

“Uh what kind of friends do you have?” Melvin asked in an overly cheery tone.

“Well I’m fairly close with my best friend April and I have these four friends who I’ve known for quite sometime now.” Y/n answered blindly.

“Wow, they sound interesting. Tell me more about these friends.”

“Ok?” Y/n agreed in a questioning matter. “They’re brothers and each kind of have their own thing which is one of the things I really like about them. The oldest is super tough and strong, the youngest is an amazing chef and incredibly cheerful, the second oldest is very flamboyant and his slightly younger brother, who we call his twin but isn’t actually his twin, is the smarts of the group.”

“Exciting!” Melvin commented. They must make great fighters.”

“Yeah…” Y/n trailed off. “Wait how did you make that connection?”

Melvin began to darkly chuckle. “You know I really didn’t expect it to be this easy.”

Y/n started slowly backing away. “Mel you’re kinda freaking me out here.”

“I mean capturing four superpowered mutants, now how was I meant to do that?” He smiled.

“Mutants!? Melvin what are you talking abou-“

“But then it hit me. I didn’t have to capture them, I only needed to capture you.”

Y/n quickly turned to run away but it was too late. Melvin had transformed into a beastly lizard yōkai and grabbed them before they could get away.

“Ugh no, help!” They tried to reach their phone but their arms were pressed tightly up against their sides. Just as they were ready to attempt an escape four figures jumped from behind a bush and landed infront of the towering Melvin.

“Let her go you scaly monster!” Raph demanded.

“Yeah, or else we’ll have to go full Lou Jitsu on you!” Mikey shouted while getting into a fighting pose.

“How dare you capture our beautiful beloved friend and mess with their feelings!” Donnie stated, preparing his tech-bō for battle.

“Is your name even Melvin!?” Leo pointed an accusatory finger towards him.

“Actually no, feel free to call me Nivlem!”

“Nivlem. Your real name is just your fake name flipped around?” Leo challenged.

“Uh yeah, what’s wrong with that?” Melvin asked.

“I don’t know it just seems a little basic.” He shrugged.

“W-well what are your other villains called? You know what, never mind I’ll just change it to something cooler like… The Destructor!”

“Mmm no.” Leo shook his head.

“Ooh I know!” Mikey pitched in. “How about… The Destructinator!”

“Now that is a cool villain name!” Leo smiled.

“Whatever, you guys are losers! Now, I’ll make this nice and easy for you; turn yourselves into Big Mama or else I’ll crush the bones of your friend till there’s nothing left to break.” The Destructinator threatened, squeezing Y/n tightly enough to cause them discomfort but not enough to severely injure them yet.

The brothers stood still in silent fear for their friend. If they were to so much as make a move to fight then Y/n would be crushed but turning themselves into Big Mama wasn’t exactly an ideal option either.

Y/n managed to squeeze themself out of The Destructinator’s grip just enough to cough out a sentence. “So let me guess, that fight club you recruit for is actually the Battle Nexus?”

“Uh yeah, I figured that would be obvious by now.” He replied, squeezing Y/n back into place much to the panic of the four turtles. Their face-off was soon broken when a loud yell came from behind and April smacked The Destructinator harshly in the side of the head with her bat. He stumbled and dropped Y/n who was thankfully caught by Donnie in the nick of time.

“Thanks Donnie, thought I was goner there for a second.” They looked up at Donnie causing him to blush and avoid their gaze.

“Well it was nothing, just making sure my friend doesn’t turn into a pancake.” He let them down as they turned back to April who ran up to give them a hug.

“Oh thank goodness you’re ok. When that guy comes to his senses I’m going to smack the life out of him!” She announce while fiercely tapping her bat into the palm of her hand.

“Thanks April.” Y/n smiled. “Wait what were you guys doing here anyway I thought you were all back at the lair!?” They asked.

“Well yeah about that you see-“ Leo began with the intent of covering up with a lie.

“April said she saw something weird about your date so we followed you here and watched you two to see if he was dangerous!” Mikey blurted out.

“So you stalked me?” Y/n questioned.

“Uh yeah. But only with good intentions.” Raph replied.

“And it worked out cause if we hadn’t you’d most likely be a prisoner of Big Mama.” April defended to try and make out the situation in a positive light.

“Don’t worry I’m not mad, just be glad you were right or else I’d be livid.” Y/n reassured them.

The Destructinator began to finally wake up and rubbed the side of his head April had hit.

“Ouch, that really hurt!” He took note that Y/n was with the turtles safely and growled. “Fine, if you won’t turn yourselves in then I’ll do it for you.”

The Destructinator then charged forward and smashed his fist on the ground, separating the group. April, now on the ground with her hands supporting her weight, gripped her bat and stood up with a fire in her eyes.

“Oh that’s it!” She took the opportunity while his hand was on the ground to run up his arm. April attempted to swing her bat at his head again but was stopped by his other hand and thrown against a tree.

“Hey Destructinator!” Mikey wrapped the chain of his kusari-fundo around The Destructinator’s wrist. “Take this!” He attempted to pull him down but was instead thrown into the air and fell smack on the ground. “Ouchie.”

Leo decided to antagonise the lizard yōkai by running behind him and cheerfully calling.

“Yoo hoo, Destructinator!” The Destructinator turned around and rapidly began throwing punches all of which Leo dodged in a glamorous manner. It was when he chose to close his eyes and start bragging “Ha! Can’t touch Neon Leon.” that The Destructinator was able to land a punch and send him flying.

He turned around and spotted Y/n, picking them up once more as they struggled against his grip.

“I warned you, now time to suffer the consequences.” He prepared to crush them to bits until Donnie shouted.

“Hey, hands off you overgrown lacertilia!” He held his tech-bō sturdily as a giant missile formed at the back. He ran forward and smashed it directly in The Destructinator’s face causing him to wobble backwards.

Y/n noticed his grip loosen and freed herself, sliding down the lizard and running off to Donnie’s side.

Once it stopped hurting The Destructinator took his hand off his face and stared down at Donnie in rage.

“Why you little-“

“Hey!” Raph yelled out, directing The Destructinator’s attention to him. “Pick on someone your own size!” He then used his powers to form his bigger body which towered over the lizard. “Or a little bigger.” He smirked and lifted up The Destructinator with both of his hands, yelled “Hot Soup!” before slamming him into the ground.

The Destructinator began coughing and clearing dust out of his eyes till he noticed Y/n standing off bedside some trees.

Upon noticing his stare they ran and he quickly stood, taking chase.

“Hey, get back here!”

What he didn’t see was Y/n smiling and looking back at him before passing another tree. As he went to do the same, April jumped out and smacked him in the face with her bat.

He held his head in pain before being twisted around by Mikey’s kusari-fundo and spun around again when being quickly released.

As The Destructinator teetered on one foot in his dizzy state; Leo opened a portal beside him and pushed him in, leaning over the edge while the yōkai fell to yell out.

“Tell Big Mama we said hi!”

He stood back and finally closed the portal causing everyone to cheer.

Donnie looked towards Y/n and quickly ran to them, holding their shoulders.

“Are you ok, did he hurt you badly?”

“I’m fine Donnie.” They placed their hands on his shoulders in return. He quickly hugged them tightly which caught Y/n off guard as he isn’t known for being a hugger. But instead of questioning it they embraced the hug and enjoyed it while it lasted.

Sadly that wasn’t very long as the others began gathering around them. The two separated and April swung an arm around Y/n’s shoulders.

“From now on I’m interrogating all your dates.”

“Haha.” Y/n let out a dry laugh. “Please tell me you’re joking.”

“Nope!” April smiled and everyone burst into laughter as they began walking home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day ended with Y/n in Donnie’s lab, leaning on the back of a chair while scrolling on their phone as he carefully worked on repairing a broken piece of equipment.

“I’m sorry about your date Y/n.”

“It’s fine. Besides I’m not really counting this one since it sucked and didn’t actually end up being a date at all.”

He looked over to them relaxing and felt a wave of concern at how peaceful they were, perhaps they were in denial?

“Apologies for my skepticism but you seem rather happy for someone who was nearly killed by a mutant lizard pretending to be their date.” He fully turned his chair in their direction this time, giving them his full attention.

“Well I guess maybe it’s because I didn’t actually like Melvin that much, or The Destructinator I suppose.” They looked up from their phone in deep thought.

“So if you didn’t really like him then why agree to go out with him?”

“Desperation maybe? I think a part of me just felt a bit crushed and was looking for something to hide my feelings.”

“Your feelings?” Donnie questioned, wanting to push further on the conversation.

“It’s nothing just a guy, a different one, one I actually do like but I don’t think he likes me back.” Y/n cringed, scrunching up into a smaller ball as they reflected on the situation.

“And who might this other guy be?” Donnie frowned, feeling like the weight in his chest had just been replaced by a heavier one.

“He’s a very special person, I’ve known him for a while now and liked him for the best part of I don’t know how many years.” They looked at the roof to try and recall how long it had been.

“Oh.” He replied, heart sinking further into the ground.

“He has a funny personality and can be so smart but so dumb at the same time. April thinks he likes me but I’m still set on the fact that he doesn’t and probably never will.”

As Donnie kept putting the pieces together he gathered an idea in his mind. Someone smart and stupid whom Y/n had known for a long time and also had affiliations with April. He gasped.

“Leo!?”

“No it’s not Leo!” Y/n quickly shouted back.

“Is it Mikey!?”

“No Donnie it’s not any of your brothers!”

“Well then who else have you known for so long!?”

Y/n stopped for a moment, unsure how to proceed. They were tempted to tell him the truth, just get it over and done with, rip the Band-Aid off. But what would it mean for their friendship? What consequences would telling him bring? They made their choice and with a shaky breath quietly replied.

“You.”

Donnie’s heart stopped for a moment before he came to his senses. They liked him. They actually liked him! This mysterious guy he was planning on hunting down was him! He didn’t know that to do, dance, laugh, cry? Without thinking he shoved his chair forwards and pulled Y/n into a kiss. Their foreheads touched as the two leant in closer, both still in equal shock.

“Why would you think I don’t like you?” Donnie asked as he pulled away.

“I don’t know.” Y/n answered blankly. “Do you like me?”

“Yes you dumb dumb!” He laughed and the two kissed once more. Unfortunately for them it was cut short by the sound of a camera snapping. They looked towards the entrance only to see Leo’s head sticking out behind his phone.

“Oooh Pops is gonna looove this!” He cackled and ran away, waving his phone in the air.

“I’ll be right back.” Donnie frowned as he grabbed some gun-looking device off his bench and took chase screaming.

“Leo!”

Y/n laughed, watching him l run off, with their head leaning on one hand. As they smiled distractedly one thought filled their mind ‘He likes me!’

That’s all. Not much to say here but hope you enjoyed reading and have an amazing day/night wherever you are!✨

So after a week the results came in and it seems you guys want to have four separate y/n’s; I hope it doesn’t get too confusing for any of you while reading this. Just remember L/L is Leo’s lover/love interest, R/L is Raph’s lover/love interest, D/L is Donnie’s lover/love interest and M/L is Mikey’s lover/love interest. Apologies in advance, I didn’t want to waste a bunch of space explaining the kids in detail so they they have their own little individual descriptions which kind of cut into the story at the beginning.

All four of the readers will be given she/her pronouns. At their regular ages M/L is 14, the turtles and D/L are 15, April Casey and L/L are 16 and R/L is 16-17. Since I had also already pictured Raph’s kids as little turtle-lizard mutants, R/L is going to be an anthropomorphic lizard. I hope this is all ok. If you don’t like it then just read it different in your head.

Each piece of the story will also be prone to editing, I can almost certainly guarantee it. Ok, I’m done ranting now, please enjoy the prologue to my own version of…

TMNT Next Generation

2012 Turtles x Fem!Readers

New York City is destroyed. Every building has either been over and smashed or abandoned. The streets are quiet. A set of green legs can be seen running through followed by more pairs of running green legs with mixes of human legs. Some are small while others are much bigger. Bombs are being detonated behind the group of running people, gunshots can be heard in the distance as robots continue to fire in pursuit of them. R/L is holding a crying lizard-turtle baby, trying to calm it down.

R/L: Raphael I fear if we do not find a safe zone soon the children will pass out from running.

RAPH: She’s right Leo, you got a plan or what?

LEO: I’m trying to think! Donnie is there anything you have that could help us right now?

DONNIE: I don’t know Leo I-I can’t really think of anything right now!

The baby continues to cry, Mikey runs up next to R/L and talks to him.

MIKEY: Aww hey there little guy, don’t cry. We’re gonna totally find a place to hide in a minute and then we’ll get you all changed and fed okay?

The baby quiets down and let’s out a small noise, staring at Mikey.

MIKEY: See everything’s gonna be fine you’ll see.

A large piece of scrap metal gets blown forwards narrowly missing the group.

M/L: Antonio watch out!

M/L protectively grabs Antonio, an orange masked 11-year-old mutant turtle with some human aspects, as they both run.

M/L: Just stay close to me okay. I’m not losing you.

ANTONIO: Already on it mum.

D/L: Hey Mary, Mary?

Mary, 10 with a pink mask and also part turtle, is panting heavily and slowly falling behind. D/L yanks her onto her shoulders.

D/L: Get on here now, we can’t risk leaving you.

MARY: Thanks *wheeze* mum.

CASEY: You all good buddy?

Casey looks down to his son, a yellow-wearing 12-year-old, speeding on roller skates.

ALEX: Don’t worry dad I’m totally fine woah!

Alex begins to trip on his skates and struggles to remain balance.

SORA: Alex here!

Sora, a blue masked 11 year old who is also of mixed species with more prominent turtle traits, grabs his hand and keeps him balanced while they run.

ALEX: Thanks for the save Sora.

SORA: No worries.

APRIL: Are we nearly at a safe zone?

L/L: I hope so. Yoshi, are you still feeling right?

Yoshi, a green masked 12-year old who, unlike his sister, appears more human-like, catches his breath and looks up.

YOSHI: Better than I was before.

Amongst the group are 3 more turtle lizard children. 10-year-old twins, Harriet (with a light turquoise mask) and Ethan (in a dark turquoise mask), who appear more lizardy and their sister Athena who’s a year older, wearing red mask and looks more like a turtle.

HARRIET: I don’t *huff* think I can *puff* keep this up *huff* much *puff* longer *huff*.

ATHENA: Hey don’t say that, we got this just keep going. After everything we’ve been through there’s no way you can let this get to you.

ETHAN: But we’ve been running for hours now I know dad said there’d be a safe zone eventually but I’m not sure anymore.

Bridget, another 11-year-old turtle looking human hybrid (wearing a purple mask), runs up towards the front where the main 4 brothers are.

BRIDGET: Dad from what I can see there aren’t any safe zones anywhere around, are you sure we’ll be okay?

DONATELLO: I- yes. We’ll be fine Bridget just stay strong okay?

Bridget looks at the ground in worry. Donnie sends Leo a look.

LEO: There’s no way we can get to a safe zone is there.

Donnie shakes his head in dismay.

RAPH: Well then what are we gonna do? We can’t just give up.

MIKEY: Uh dudes the kids are starting to give in.

Leo thinks deeply for a moment.

LEO: We’ll have to fight.

MIKEY, DONNIE & RAPH: What!?

RAPH: Are you crazy!?

MIKEY: Dude there’s no way we can fight them off again!

DONNIE: You saw what happened last time we tried!

LEO: I know, I know but right now it’s our only hope. We’ll protect the kids for as long as we can.

RAPH: And if we fail?

LEO: Then we accept our fates.

BRIDGET: Wait dad?

DONNIE: Uh now might not be the best time dear we’re kind of busy.

BRIDGET: But it’s important.

The brothers share a look.

DONNIE: Alright what is it?

BRIDGET: You remember that project we were working on right? Do you still have it with you?

DONNIE: Oh no Bridget, we can’t use that thing it’s still in testing. I don’t even know if it works properly. We haven’t even tried sending something through.

BRIDGET: But in theory, if it works then it could save us right?

DONNIE: I suppose you’re correct.

LEO: What are you talking about Donnie.

DONNIE: Well, you see, back at the old safe zone Bridget and I were messing around with some gadgets thinking off possible designs for different machines to keep us busy when Bridget had an idea. She suggested trying to build a time machine.

RAPH: A time machine? Now you really have gone mad.

DONNIE: No I haven’t! Bridget helped me figure out the design and together we came up with a device that could possibly work but we got attacked before we could test it.

MIKEY: Wait didn’t we already meet a time travel lady like years ago?

RAPH: Oh yeah, Renet wasn’t it? Wonder what happened to her.

DONNIE: Well Mikey that’s exactly it we haven’t seen her in years so building a machine is logically the most reliable option here.

LEO: So what are you trying to say Donnie, what was Bridget thinking before?

DONNIE: She was implying that if we used the time machine to go back in time we could possibly alter the events that lead to this and save the future!

LEO: But you said it wasn’t tested yet?

DONNIE: It isn’t which is why using it comes at such a risk.

Another bomb sounds.

RAPH: So we either fight, run till we drop or risk our lives on one of Donnie’s genius inventions. Great!

LEO: Alright. Donnie, Bridget, if you think you can get that thing up and running then we’ll protect you guys while doing so. There isn’t much left so it’s now or never.

BRIDGET: Alright.

DONNIE: If you say so; are you sure about this Bridget?

BRIDGET: Like Uncle Leo said, it’s now or never.

LEO: Guys get up here!

APRIL: What is it Leo?

LEO: We might have a plan to escape these guys.

CASEY: You finally found a safe zone?

MIKEY: Nope, but if Donnie and Bridget can get their time travel thingy to work then we’ll all be saved!

D/L: Wait, time travel?

LEO: It’s a long shot but if we can protect them while they get the machine up and running then we might just be able to save ourselves and the rest of the world.

R/L: Are you sure this is the best course of action?

LEO: Positive.

APRIL: But what about the kids?

LEO: We’ll keep them safe too.

SORA: What? But dad, I can fight those guys too!

LEO: No way, not after last time.

Sora looks down.

LEO: *sighs* I need you to take your brother, Alex, your cousins and defend them with your life am I clear?

SORA: Yes dad.

HARRIET: I guess this is it.

ETHAN: I think I’m about to puke.

ATHENA: Don’t, just don’t.

MARY: Do you really think this could work?

BRIDGET: I hope so.

R/L: Here Yoshi, please keep baby safe.

YOSHI: You can count on me.

ALEX: Guys, they’re getting closer!

ANTONIO: I don’t want to die!

M/L: Antonio I need you to calm down. You’re not going to die, ok? Not on my watch.

L/L: Alright, I’m ready when you guys are.

LEO: Okay we got into combat in three…

The brothers ready their weapons.

LEO: Two…

The other adults prepare to fight.

LEO: One…

The kids look on nervously.

LEO: *Takes a deep breath* Go!

Mary hops of D/L’s shoulders and runs with the other kids. Bridget and Donnie get as far behind the others as possible, Donnie pulls out an odd looking watch and they begin to tinker with it.

The kids get into a group, Sora having her sword drawn and Yoshi holding the baby while Alex is holding a baseball bat. Athena is in a fighting stance with Harriet and Ethan behind her. Antonio and Mary are both clinging on to each other.

The adults have their weapons drawn in a wall to protect everyone behind them. They all let out battle cries and run in.

Leo deflects lasers with his katanas, D/L is bashing up whatever’s attacking them with her kanabō. April begins to show her fan at the enemy and Casey is whacking them away with his hockey stick. Raph and Mikey are both fighting side-by-side while M/L is using martial arts. L/L is attacking with Kakute, Shurikens and Kunais. Sora, Athena and Alex are fighting off the few enemies that made it to them while Yoshi is trying to keep the baby safe. Bridget and Donnie are still working with the watch, a few sparks fly about but they don’t focus on them. L/L is still fighting by herself until a gunshot hits her arm.

Y/N: Ah!

LEO: L/L!

SORA AND YOSHI: Mum!

L/L stops fighting and Leo runs to her. Mikey and Raph look over but refocus as an attack narrowly misses them.

APRIL: Guys look out!

April quickly jumps in and deflects another shot with her fan. She continues to protect them while Leo holds L/L. Sora is struggling to fight and Yoshi nearly drops the baby.

Athena looks over to where Harriet and Ethan are cowering together.

ATHENA: Guys, stop being cowards and fight!

The twins look at each other before determinedly moving out of position and helping to fight.

D/L: Donnie, Bridget, please tell me you’re nearly finished!

DONNIE: Almost done, we just have a few more things to adjust!

ANTONIO: Hey you, over there!

One of the robots looks over to Antonio who’s pointing at them.

ANTONIO: Have a taste of my fist!

Antonio begins to punch the enemy in the stomach over and over to no avail. He looks up and gulps before the robot punches him in the face and sends him flying.

M/L: Antonio!

ATHENA: No!

MIKEY: Wait M/L!

M/L gets kicked to the ground by another bot. Mikey runs over and picks up Antonio before going over to M/L.

ANTONIO: Dad, is mom okay?

MIKEY: You’ll be fine, we’ll be fine, everything’s fine!

RAPH: Donnie I swear to god!

DONNIE: I’m trying! Do you know how hard it is to manually formulate time travel!

Donnie stops when he hears Bridget sniff. He looks over to see she has tears in her eyes.

BRIDGET: Dad what if we can’t do it, what if the watch fails?

Donnie looks back at the scene behind them then at the watch and finally looks back to Bridget.

DONNIE: We’re gonna get this thing working if it’s the last thing I do!

Bridget looks at Donnie getting back to work and gives a firm nod before doing the same.

APRIL: Leo I know this is hard right now but you have to get back to fighting, I’ll protect L/L but we need you on the battlefield!

L/L: She’s right Leo, it’s only my arm I’ll be fine. The others need you.

LEO: Stay safe.

L/L: Always.

Leo stands up and keeps fighting off the robots.

MARY: I don’t want to do this anymore, I’m scared!

ATHENA: And you haven’t been scared this whole time?

MARY: Huh?

ATHENA: This has been going on for years. We’ve been running and fighting and hiding and running all over again, this isn’t anything new.

MARY: But Antonio, Aunty M/L and Aunty L/L-

ATHENA: Are fine. They were knocked down but they’re still breathing and that’s all that matters right now.

Mary looks on at Athena fighting bravely.

ATHENA: I’m just as scared as you are but if any of us give in at this point then there’s a chance we could all die!

MARY: I-I guess you’re right.

ATHENA: Now come on, pick yourself up and kick butt!

MARY: Yeah!

HARRIET: You still feeling the fight?

Harriet puts her hand up, Ethan grabs it.

ETHAN: You know it.

The two shake before letting out battle cries and continuing to fight.

SORA: Are you alright there brother?

YOSHI: I’m fine and so is the baby.

SORA: Good.

Sora gets back-to-back with Athena as they fight.

SORA: That was a pretty good speech you gave back there.

ATHENA: Don’t mention it.

Sora smiles as Athena fights seriously.

With the adults, Casey knocks away another enemy and faces L/L.

CASEY: Is everyone okay?

L/L: I hope so, it looks like Mikey and April are on the defence right now and Raph, R/L and Leo are with us on the offence.

CASEY: Alright, sounds good to me.

Casey turns around and is nearly shot until R/L steps in.

CASEY: Thanks for the save R/L.

R/L: There is no need to thank me we’re a team.

D/L: Alright three more guys incoming, you ready?

CASEY: As I’ll ever be.

R/L: I’m armed and prepared to fire.

CASEY: Goongala!

D/L: I can’t believe you still say that.

M/L is gaining consciousness with Antonio next to her.

M/L: Mikey?

MIKEY: Don’t move M/L. I can’t stop fighting right now but I need you to stay still, you were both hit pretty hard.

M/L: Both? *gasp* Antonio!

ANTONIO: Relax mum I’m right here.

M/L gives Antonio a big hug but the two quickly move away.

ANTONIO: Ouch!

M/L: Ow! Sorry I should of been more careful.

ANTONIO: It’s all good.

APRIL: Are you feeling okay L/L?

L/L stands up holding her shot arm.

L/L: I’ll be fine for now.

APRIL: Can you still fight?

L/L: I think so.

APRIL: Great cause I could use your help against these guys.

L/L: Right, I’m on it!

SORA: Hey, everyone’s up and fighting again!

HARRIET: Hah, I knew we would make it!

MARY: Yes!

Leo looks behind at the children cheering and smiles. Suddenly there’s a loud bang. The ground shakes violently and everyone’s vision is temporarily blinded.

Sora, now lying on the ground, waves a hand in front of her face while coughing, she stares at the sight… a bomb had gone off.

SORA: No…

Parts of the nearby buildings had been blown off and everyone was on the ground struggling as another wave of attackers began moving forward. Leo pushes himself off the ground wheezing and coughing before turning to look at Donnie and Bridget. His eyes widen as Donnie connects two wires and a portal opens.

LEO: They did it, they actually did it!

RAPH: Well it’ll all be for nothing if we don’t get moving like now!

Mikey pushes himself off the ground and helps up M/L and Antonio.

M/L: Ow!

MIKEY: Sorry M/L but we got to go!

APRIL: Casey!

CASEY: I’m alive, barely.

APRIL: Let’s get moving; we’re out of time.

April pulls Casey up.

Athena lifts herself up and turns to Ethan and Harriet.

ATHENA: Hey, get up!

Athena pulls up Harriet

HARRIET: Ah! It hurts.

ATHENA: I know, but trust me it’ll hurt a lot more when those things catch up to us.

Ethan pushes himself up.

ETHAN: Let’s get moving. You alright Mary?

Ethan helps Mary up.

MARY: I’ll be fine.

Yoshi opens his eyes and looks down in shock to find the baby safely wrapped in his arms. He gets up and hands the baby to Athena before looking over at Sora.

YOSHI: Are you going to keep lying there or are we still fearless heroes?

Sora looks up at him and sees the baby is okay. She lets out a weak smile and pushes herself up.

SORA: Fearless heroes. Forever and always.

R/L helps pull up D/L.

R/L: Are you alright D/L?

D/L: Been better but considering right now, I’ll be ok.

Leo pulls up L/L.

LEO: You ready to go home?

L/L: Yeah.

The kids rush over to their parents, being smaller and hit less by the blast they have more strength. Antonio joins them.

SORA: Dad are you okay? You’re walking really slow.

LEO: I’ll be fine let’s just get to that portal before-

Another gunshot fires this time hitting Casey in the back.

APRIL: Casey!

ALEX: Dad!

More gunshots go off but April repels them with her psychic powers. She uses a wave of energy to hold back the robots as she sits by Casey with tears in her eyes.

APRIL: You guys need to go I can’t hold them back for long!

MIKEY: No way we’re leaving you!

RAPH: We’re not going without you or Casey.

Donnie and Bridget run up to the group.

DONNIE: What happened?

APRIL: Casey’s hit!

ALEX: Dad?

DONNIE: Oh no.

APRIL: Guys I can’t-

Aprils powers fail and the robots begin storming forward.

MIKEY: What are we gonna do dudes. Ack! I can barely move my arm.

RAPH: I can’t go any faster than a snail.

R/L: I’m also lacking in physical strength.

D/L: Same here.

LEO: What about you L/L?

L/L sadly shows her wound’s been opened further.

L/L: Sorry Leo.

LEO: Looks behind him at the kids.

MARY: Mum you’ll be okay right?

ALEX: Dad, please get up!

HARRIET: Are you okay mum?

ETHAN: You guys aren’t hurt right?

ATHENA: Dad?

BRIDGET: Will everyone be able to make it through?

Leo smiles sadly and looks down at his katanas in front of him.

LEO: Change of plans.

Everyone looks up at Leo.

LEO: The adults will stay here and fight best we can. Kids, you guys are going to go and run as fast as you can through that portal.

KIDS: What!?

SORA: Dad you can’t be serious!

YOSHI: There’s no way you’re leaving us!

SORA: Mum tell him you can’t!

L/L looks away sadly and closes her eyes.

ATHENA: Dad there’s no way I’m letting you fight here alone! You can’t just stay!

All the adults stay silent.

ATHENA: Dad!

BRIDGET: At least you can come right dad? You weren’t hit by the blast you’re perfectly fine.

DONNIE: Bridget I love you so much.

MARY: Dad? What are you saying!?

DONNIE: You too Mary. But I swore to always have my brothers backs and to fight till the very end. If me staying here means you guys get out safe then I’ll do it.

MARY: Nu uh no way. Mum you’ll come with us won’t you?

D/L: I’m in just as bad a condition as everyone else sweetie. You’re going to have to go alone.

MARY: No!

More gunshots follow and the sound of bombs can be heard getting louder. Leo crouches down to Sora.

LEO: Now listen here I’m trusting you to lead this mission.

SORA: B-but dad!

LEO: No buts. You’re going to go through that portal and lead your family on this mission. I know it’s scary but I also know that if anyone can do it it’s you.

Sora holds Leo’s hands and begins to cry.

Bridget looks around at everyone crying to their parents and faces Donnie.

DONNIE: Bridget I need you to take possession of the watch.

Bridget silently nods and takes the watch.

DONNIE: Do you remember all the features it has?

BRIDGET: Mhm. Left dial for latitude, right dial for longitude, bottom dial for month, top dial for day and the centre is for the year.

DONNIE: See, you know exactly what you’re doing. I even installed a small device that’ll lead you straight to the lair.

BRIDGET: The lair… as in-

DONNIE: That’s right, home. Now here, let me adjust the settings.

Donnie fiddles with the dials before handing the watch back to Bridget. She looks up at him for a second before giving him a big hug.

ANTONIO: Mum, dad, I don’t want to leave you guys!

M/L: There isn’t really much of a choice here buddy.

MIKEY: We’re not fast enough to catch up with you.

ANTONIO: But, but-

MIKEY: Hey I need you to promise me something. Do you think that you can keep everyone smiling and laughing while you’re away, for me?

ANTONIO: I promise.

ATHENA: I don’t want to leave you guys, you can’t just expect us to go without you!

RAPH: Sorry but you have to, we’ll only slow you down.

ATHENA: No you won’t!

RAPH: Hey who do you think knows better, the 38-year-old ninja or the mini warrior-in-training?

Athena puffs out her cheeks and glares at him.

RAPH: That’s what I thought. Now you’re going to go with you’re brothers, your sister, Alex, your cousins and you’re going to protect them no matter what. I’m relying on you to make sure everyone comes back in one piece okay?

ATHENA: Okay.

RAPH: That’s my little warrior.

ETHAN: Are you guys really going to stay?

R/L: It is for your own protection.

Harriet cries and hugs her mum tight.

ALEX: Dad, come on you’re not really down are you.

CASEY: *Groans as he attempts to lift himself up* Sorry little dude.

APRIL: Come here honey.

Alex skates into April’s arms and hugs her tightly.

APRIL: I know you can do this. You mean so much to all of us so we need you to be brave enough to leave us and help them.

ALEX: Can’t you just use your psychic powers to stop this and save us all?

APRIL: I wish it was that simple.

A laser narrowly misses April’s head as she parts with Alex.

APRIL: Enough chit-chat, they’re here.

Everyone takes a fighting stance as more guns begin to fire. The adults start fighting with Casey still on the ground.

D/L: Go, go, go!

M/L: We love you all!

R/L: Come back safe!

L/L quickly pulls Yoshi back.

L/L: Take this and give it to our past selves.

YOSHI: What?

L/L quickly pulls him into a tight hug.

L/L: Remember you are more than what others make you, I love you so much. Now go!

MARY: No I don’t want to go!

Bridget begins pulling Mary back. Mary turns to her with tears.

MARY: We can’t just leave them.

BRIDGET: *Deep breath* We have to.

HARRIET: Guys come on we have to hurry!

Yoshi pulls Mary along and Bridget continues to run. The kids all run and jump through the portal one by one. Yoshi pulls Mary through leaving Bridget and Sora.

BRIDGET: If you don’t go I will; just make sure to grab the watch before going through, we need it to get back.

Bridget jumps through. Sora looks on at the parents fighting and focuses on Leo. Tears begin to fall from her eyes. Another loud bang goes off; bright light fills the space and Sora quickly grabs the watch before being forced into the portal, unable to see the remains of the explosion.

Hope you enjoyed! Please keep sending requests so I have more stuff to post as this story will likely take a while for me to finish. With that, have an amazing day/night wherever you may be!✨
