THE CASEY TWINS HAVE ARRIVED!!

I’ve been hearing and thinking about this headcannon for I a while now so here’s some smaller headcannons:

Casey(left) and Cassandra/Cass (right) are on the Eastman High ice hockey team

By day they beat other teams in hockey by night they beat up perps like the Purple Dragons

The Purple Dragons are actually the reason why they became vigilantes after being jumped by Kendra and her squad

They live with their moms and little sister Angel(age 8 and eventual bestie of Lita)

They first meet Raph after he gets separated and become great friends with him from there

Casey even more so(😏)

Casey is the older twin

Cassandra is the most sensitive (never tell her I said that) and short tempered

Cass is mainly embarrassed that she bit off more than she could chew and has a physical reminder on both her and her twin

Casey tends to try and avoid the whole trauma thing following the logic that ‘if both of us are freaking out nothing’s gonna fix itself’

going of the headcannon that this⬇️

Is Kendra(I fell in love with her character design btw) her and the twins are gonna have beef

mainly Kendra being spiteful to Cass and rubbing salt in that wound

Upon meeting April and Cass become instant besties

Whilst Casey and April have more of a teasing the living crap out of each other style friendship

The Casey’s don’t trust the police with shit

Mom is a marine and Mami is a waitress

and das it

Cowabunga turtle fanz!

Chapter 7 Part 2

“Karai! You came!”

Aprils face somehow brightened from the last time Karai had seen her. That or Karai was still forgetting that most normal humans lived normal lives.With normal families and simple pleasures. They didn’t usually have a reason to be as harsh as the Foot were.

But besides her expression you could probably guess that her life was a train wreck. Her hair was messy, clothes were wrinkled, and her beanie was slightly crooked on her head. Please don’t be doing what I think you’re doing.

“And why wouldn’t I meet up with the news-dork I call friend?” Karai fully entered the dark room, dropping her bag on the nearby chair. The smug look on her face automatically formed without warning nor awareness.

“Hey! I didn’t call you any names when you walked in the room.” April responded placing her hands on her hips in her signature jokingly sarcastic pose.

“You were about to though.” Karai crossed her arms across her chest, leaning over April(whom was slightly shorter) as she narrowed her eyes. “Weren’t you?”

“Mhm. But only cause you fall for it.”

“Oh ho ho. Is that so?”

April straightened up her back and also narrowed her eyes before continuing.

“Yep.” April smacked her lips on the p.

A moment of silence fell between the two before April’s laughter erupted followed by Karai’s chuckles. It was so hard to not smile in the reporter’s presence. Once you got close enough to her.

“Haha! Man I don’t know what that was.” Her laughter slowed as she wiped tears of joy away from beneath her glasses.

Karai wasn’t quite sure either but the comment still made her smile. She hummed as she looked around the dark room. Faint red light tinted every crevice and corner of the room including all of Aprils research. Several empty bulletin boards laid askew on the floor. Few hung on the walls covered in sloppily cut out photos and news articles. Nothing bad yet. Please don’t be doing what I said stop doing.

“What’s up?” April had texted her before but not like this. At least not without a reason. And last time it wasn’t exactly a . . . comfortable experience. For either of them.

April barely held in a squeal, her hair bouncing in time with her body. “Okay! So you know how I may or may not have been researching about TCRI after their whole out of the blue disappearance?”

Damn it

Karai let out a low sigh like the ones she had heard countless times from her father. God how she hated that thought. Her acting like her dad. Her head hung low with her eyes tightly shut. Her mouth was drawn so tight she thought the lightest touch would break it.

“April. . .”

“Well I just found a massive lead. So I traced back to where their usual supply ports were . . .”

April kept on rambling excitedly. Any other subject would have left Karai at least amused by her friend’s enthusiasm. But fear flooded her thoughts.

“April.”

This time her friend heard her. April turned revealing a look of small shock on her face. Karai’s face softened slightly. She couldn’t hurt her feelings. She knew how much April toils over this kind of crap. But she also couldn’t let her walk straight into becoming a target of a super powerful company with enough resources and intelligence to kidnap the president. Or even worse hire their closest partner to do things even worse than death to the unsuspecting teen.

Stuck between the controversy that was her entire life at this point, Karai settled on massaging her forehead and releasing yet another sigh(that’s definitely gonna get old). “Come on girl. We talked about this.”

“Oh! Right.” April looked down disappointment fading onto her face. She rubbed the back of her neck as the look fully set in. With a hint of guilt adding to both of the girls emotional weights.

Great! What have I done now? My last night with the first new friend you’ve made since Jennika and you ruined.

“Maybe . . . I took it as a strong suggestion.” She looked up at Karai guiltily but at least smiling now. Yet again that meant she was trying to get away with this and still wasn’t comprehending how strong of warning Karai had made.

Karai let out a long groan. “April.”

“Oh come on! What’s the worst thing that could happen if I expose a toxic company?! Whom of which hurt some of my closest friends!”

Great! Now she’s mad too.

If Karai could be honest she would read off the entire list of bad things that could be done to the news girl for exposing them. But alas she was not supposed to be Karai the kunochi and double agent. Right now she was Karai the normal teenager. And even as a normal teenager she could not hold back her anger.

“Look. I’m just trying to look out for you. Believe it or not exposing a super powerful group of psychopaths may not help you as much as you’d think.” Karai‘s’s gritted teeth made the comeback sharp and silent but luckily enough to get the point across.

“And I appreciate that! But sitting around doing nothing isn’t how you change things! And that company’s existence is definitely a change that needs to be made ASAP!” April’s volume only grew with her anger. “My friends really need this right now!”

“Who?! The mutant turtles?!” Karai blurted, at this point she didn’t care about temper. Her thoughts had been straining against the barriers in her mind for too long. Especially in front of someone she thought she could down those barriers upon feeling her presence. “Why do they matter in this argument?!”

“What is up with you?! And why are saying it like that?!” April backed away slightly as if she was the one being insulted.“Yes they’re mutant turtles! So what?! They’re my friends and they need help! I would do the same for you!”

Karai wanted to puke.

A deathly silence fe over the room. Adding to the choking thickness of the sea of shock and regret she had plunged under.

She never seriously thought about how much April connected with the turtles. How much she cared. And for her too. They had just become friends less than half a week ago and April cared enough to risk her safety for her. That hit the nail to the coffin.

What are you doing?! GET OUT BEFORE YOU BLOW YOUR COVER!!

Karai quickly snapped up, escaping the very unwanted thoughts zooming around her mind. She quickly grabbed her backpack and opened the door. Before she could step out April broke the silence.

“Karai, I-”

“Nevermind April. Just-.” She looked up for second. Probably the worst mistake in her life besides the day they died, as she saw Aprils look. She looked so shocked and confused. Somehow in the short amount of time Karai had spent with April she had gotten to know her very well. Well enough to know she would blame herself for . . . all of this instead of the one who took up a tone first. “-nevermind, ok.”

She slowly shut the door behind her. She didn’t want to leave like this. But what choice did she have. It was either fight with April and give the police a good lead on who to start looking to for answers or do the job she was meant to do without hesitation and good leads for the police. And hopefully April.

Just as the door almost fully closed Karai peered through the crevice one more time. “Sorry. Sayonara.”

Karai made it longer than she had expected. A total of 3 blocks before finding a good alleyway. From their tucked into the little corner she locked into a tight ball and slumped to the ground.

A moment of weakness was highly frowned upon by the foot but they couldn’t see her here. She could be a disappointment all she wanted without bothering anyone else here.

Get up.

Listening to the voices in her head Karai quickly wiped her eyes careful not to smudge the eyeliner. Her oni mask slipped over the bottom of her face. The cool metal brought a chill into her body. The rest of her armor was strapped on just as the troops stalking the target area signaled her.

Withdrawing her twin wakizashi she was ready to end this.

Nothing left for her to hesitate over.

So yeah sorry this took like over a whole ass month to write but stuff got crazy and I got distracted. Hopefully the next few chapters will come quicker. In this chapter I kinda wanted to take from the perspective of being in the passive position of one of those two second arguments you have with your friends that creates a grudge for the rest of the day before forgiving and forgetting completely the next day. But obviously Karai ain’t gonna forget this little talk. (Quick fyi when reading this I am not trying to ship Karai and April. Any of what you might think is that is just April having a bi panic and Karai struggling to figure how to do a healthy relationship) Anywho hope you like it. Cowabunga turtle fanz!

sorry about the recent long wait between parts of Difference Between The Appearance but stuff has been crazy and I just it started on the final draft. Hope to post the next part sometime this week.

can someone help decipher what this symbol

From these plates

Means that would be great(no pressure though and you don’t hafta if you see this)

Not that I expect anyone to care since no one asked but info dump time:

so in my hyper fixation au of MM/Tottmnt (kudos to @cagednoob for helping me figure out what to call this) I’ve labeled Venus as a pansexual but I’ve come to the conclusion that she isn’t attracted to men at all and she is more a of a bisexual since the term means two genders and she likes girls and nonbinary people (hope I’m saying that right) so I dunno

comment what you think or if you want to have a poll for this

or don’t like I said I don’t really expect anyone to care but I just needed to get this off my chest in some kind of way

TMAYNT DAY 17xDay 18

Best Mikey of All Iterations

Human Version of the Turtles

“No but I do have the Australian version. Crike’s!”

I am so HAPPY that this collab worked out.

I feel like MM Mikey definitely won over my heart when he was the closest thing to the main character of the movie. Which is just AMAZING! But now it looks like he’ll have a pretty big role in Tottmnt. Mikey on a whole as a character throughout the franchise has a lot of potential for a good story and character arcs. And I’m glad that’s being recognized.

(the second pic is a picrew made image btw)

TMAYNT Day 15

Best Karai!!!!!!!

Karai is one of my favorite characters of all time in the tmnt franchise. When they did get her character right and didn’t botch it up(bayverse I’m looking at you 😒) it became one of my favorite parts of that versions storyline.

And decisiveness strikes again as it is a tie

Speaking of Karai I think I might have found a few hints at what she may look like in the mm/Tottmnt version through some foot clan concept art for mutant mayhem

Ok so we have 4 possible choices

pic 1

Pic 2

Pic 3(who honestly looks more like Jennika in my opinion)

And pic 4

TMAYNT Day 14

Favorite Turtle Movie

imma let yall know rise came in close second but it’s pretty obvious to me

The animation alone was OUTSTANDING but the plot and character writing.

*😚👌*

Chef’s kiss

it has gotten to the point where I can watch this twice in one day and still can’t wait to watch it again

TMAYNT Day 5 6

(sorry I didn’t notice that earlier)

Favorite Mutant Ally

Certified skateboarding king in both versions

forgot to post this quick sketch of the oldest Tmnt mm twins

I forgot a few minor details but the main point is that these two have one of the best bonds out of all of the Raph’s and Leo’s of the Tmnt franchise

TMAYNT Day 5

Favorite Leo(s)

My indecisiveness strikes again

2012 Leo was my childhood, Rise Leo is an absolute icon, and MM Leo is just too damn relatable for my dorky ass to not make him one of my all time favorite characters in cinematic history.

TMAYNT DAY 4

Baby Turtles!

just a quick redraw

(is it just me or would MM! Leo’s favorite Star Wars character totally be Luke Skywalker and MM! Mikey’s would by Jar Jar Binks)

May the Forth be with you

the fact that Donnie’s first instinct instead of getting into a safe hiding spot but to get as close to Mikey as possible is just

🥺

this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life

TOTTMNT/Tmnt MM Autism and ADHD Headcannons

(just the four main turtles for right now until we get more screen time for other characters)

Leo: Autism

Raph: has a few symptoms but neither

Donnie: Autism

Mikey: ADHD

Leo and Donnie use sign language when they are overwhelmed/ over-stimulated

Raph, Mikey, and Splinter understand sign but don’t use it

Donnie and Leo sign to each other when this happens to one of them or as just a friendly reminder that they’re there for each other

Splinter had to find the right kind of fabric texture for Donnie and Leo as to not make them uncomfortable (thanks @renisrandom for that idea)

Just a random late night post about these goobers and TSL(which needs to be cannon in some version of Tmnt(I do not care which one just give it to me)). Could someone please tell me when and where Rise!Donnie signs cause I have absolutely no idea where to find that clip.

I cannot explain how precious this shot is to me it’s ridiculous

🥺

two more for the collection(cept I don’t know which one is trans on the team b)

I've found a new trope I love, and it's "identical twins except one of them is trans so they're not identical anymore". It's glorious.

Chapter 7 Part 1

Ever since she was young, Karai knew what the real world was like.

She knew that no matter how many good things you do or how many people you save, the world will continue to be cruel. Age, gender, or race had nothing to do with it. The world was just cruel.

So she didn’t care about how extreme the Shredders training was. She didn’t care that they used living targets for physical exams. She didn’t care about lying to her sister about how much the bruises and scars on her body stung.

Karai knew it just didn’t matter. She knew she was selfish for lying towards someone who had been outright charitable to her, a completely strange and new girl.

So that’s why she let April get close to her. Out of greed and selfish longing. While Karai spied on Aprils closest friends and organized their abduction, the hidden warrior was leading her down a rabbit hole of lies and false emotion. There was nothing more to her actions than just creating an alibi. Right?

Then why did she openly feel things around April about the things she wouldn’t around anyone else. Except Jennika of course. Karai didn’t have a crush on her that’s for sure(it was painfully obvious that the blue turtle already covered that job). But some kind of bond was made between the red headed news girl and the silent ‘badass’(as April occasionally teased her as). That kind of trust and light heartedness was definitely like what she had with her sister.

In some ways the two were very similar. They both were very open about their emotions and passions. A gift to express opinion that Karai can only barely remember. But April probably didn’t know how to play rock songs off the top of her head or who Lita Ford was(a common topic her sister talked about when they had free time to imagine what future they may have after their father completed his plans). And Jennika probably had no clue how to write a newspaper or how to connect the dots to a giant undercover plot based on notes and a few pictures on a messy old school board.

“That’s actually kinda cool.” She had once said when April was showing some of her work.

A buzz from her phone broke Karai out of her trance as she hung on one of the pipes of a rooftop water tower above what appeared to be an abandoned factory. April had texted her saying: COME NOW BIG BREAK!!! The brisk night air and the blare of city lights begged her to stay for longer and enjoy the sight. It was the first time she had seen anything like it. Wait until I tell Jennika about this. But she had to go now if she was gonna help with the last few of the turtles. Which means back to oppressive training and no more actually getting to go out without fear of getting caught. So she wasn’t gonna miss out on her last chance to enjoy that little freedom.

Karai hooped down from the roof into a back alley before continuing to her and Aprils hangout spot on the sidewalk.

Normal cities were strange. They were much different than what she had been taught by her mentors. They were indeed chaotic but not with violence and gore decorated streets. They had a certain rhythm and style that left you in awe by the appeal. Jennika always said those old cronies were wrong. Now Karai could believe that.

Besides it’s not the rest of humanity that’s the problem it’s the mutants right? It’s not their fault that they had been tricked and manipulated. Right?

But something was strange about the mutants(other than their appearance obviously)that stuck to Karai.

They

Acted as if they were

Normal kids

Like April and Jennika. They could be cringy and emotional and sometimes even funny. They portrayed what seemed to be personalities and feelings? The thought of seeing the orange one, Mikey as they called him, in pain made Karai uncomfortable and squirm with sheer pity for hi-

NO no no. Stop. Stop that right now. Remember your training. They’re just trying to trick you. Their pitiful pain-filled heart aching faces are just an act. It’s not real. Besides even if it is-which it isn’t-it’s nothing compared to what they have done to your family. What they have done to you.

Karai huffed as she pushed those thoughts aside and walked briskly up the steps of Eastman High. Strange. Her senses seemed more heightened than usual. The smell of sweat and pen ink grew stronger than their usual stench. She was about to reach for the door until she looked down at her arm. Scales.

Kuso! Okay! Okay okay okay! Don’t panic! Remember your teachings . . . again.

Rushing to keep It at bay, Karai rushed for her bag and pulled out her elixir. Within seconds she had downed the drink and her scales slowly sunk back under her skin. Vanishing into no where. Where It belonged instead of inside of her body.

Echoes from her past rushed through her body. Her breathing was still in sharp panicked huffs and only grew shakier with the pain of her past. Noticing this Karai gripped the back of her neck and bent her head back. She attempted her breathing exercises as the fangs in her mouth shrunk away and her tongue no longer lingered of the surrounding smells.

Ochitsuke Karai. Just breath.

Finally shaking the last of It away, Karai opened the door to the school and finished her journey. By the time she made it to April’s “news room”, she took one final breath before opening the door.

Just Breathe. She doesn’t need to know. No one does.

And no one will.

Hope y’all like this chapter. It’s not as progressive in the story than usual but at least you get a peak inside Karai’s mind. Since this wasn’t as progressive as usual I decided to leave a little Easter egg from The Strength in Weakness by @truths33k3r4 a personal favorite content creator of mine(hope you don’t mind that I did this). Sorry for not posting this sooner but it was kinda rough juggling that and art and school and family and- just everything. So I hope you like it.

Cowabunga turtle fanz!

was rewatching mutant mayhem

0:30:50-52

Best and most unique screenshot of Dee I have ever caught

Yknow how I said my version of Venus is weird. This is one of the many examples of why.

A.k.a Quick doodle and edit of casual chaotic sibling life after Vee was gifted with the dreaded cat hoodie:

Inspired by Nathan Kessel on YouTube.

check them out if you would like to see more funny cat mode videos and more.

Do y’all remember this?!

Michelangelo you have heart

Donatello you have a wisdom

Raphael you have bravery

And Leonardo honor

Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish

I was so disappointed when this wasn’t in the movie but realized this:

What if in the series or sequel, the boys had to retreat to the O’Neil farmhouse and had to sadly leave splinter behind captured by either TCRI or the Shredder and they have that scene with Splinter appearing in the blue fire and this is what he says at the end of a talk with his sons?

I was just gonna comment on another post but this is too important to me

I 👏 NEED 👏 A THREEWAY 👏 TMNT 👏 CROSSOVER 👏 WITH THE 2012 ROTTMNT AND MUTANT MAYHEM VERSIONS OR I 👏 WILL 👏 DIE👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

sorry bout all the claps but this is just something that MUST happen cause it is too good of a chance to give up. And everybody knows when somebody claps while they’re talking it A draws attention and B makes that statement necessary.

Songs that make me think of Tottmnt Ship Headcannons

Just a couple of songs to give some inspiration for ship content.

Aprilnardo/Leopril:

Shut up and dance with me

Dandelions

Cheerleader

Rasey:

Sincerely, Me

Jenny(I wanna ruin our friendship)

Both:

Ho Hey

See you again

Genius

I wanna be yours

I swear I’m gonna get around to drawing these two perfect pairs at prom eventually. I literally cannot think of any other case in which April and Leo dance in the cannon and it’s not because Leo attempted to ask but was stopped by April kissing him and then saying something along the lines of “shut up and dance with me”. I also can’t listen to Sincerely, Me anymore without thinking about Rasey.

MM!/Tottmnt Casey Picrew image and sexuality and gender headcannon

I just feel like image makers like these on Picrew fit the art style soooo well. This one is called Potatolords Persona Creator

Casey is talking to Raph in this image and having a cute Rasey moment being shared between the two teens. I got inspiration for the facial expression from Ao3 MM! Rasey fanfic And Then He Kissed Me(such a good fanfic for MM Rasey shippers).

Y’all can’t tell me this boy is gonna be straight. And even if you do I won’t believe you.(that is said with all due respect no offense but I fight to the death for this ship).

FINALLY FINISHED THIS ART PIECE

I cannot tell you how much I struggled but it was soooooo worth it. This is just a little wholesome angst for my version of MM!/Tottmnt Venus. On the left is Venus holding her little sister Lita. To the right is Dr Tyler Rockwell holding Venus (og post that explains story right here). I don’t know why I keep doing this trend of posting more stuff about these characters when I make artwork of them but I’m starting to think about starting another MM!/Tottmnt au after Difference Between the Appearance. So ignoring that random info dump. Here’s my opinion on how Venus acts like and what her relationship with each of the boys is like:

Her Personality: Venus is a very very very very VERY weird girl. Not like creepy wolf girl weird but like Luz(Owl House) and Marcy(Amphibia) weird. She doesn’t find disgust in the casual weird creatures she meets when her and brothers are getting into shenanigans. Part of this is formed because she was raised around yokai but it’s mainly because she tends to lean towards the bright side of things in very “Welp at least it’s not completely hideous” kind of attitude. But other than that she’s just your usual dorky K-pop loving artistic teenage girl(scratch that there is absolutely nothing normal about this chi overpowered weirdo of a turtle mutant . . . but she is a fellow kpop fan). But one thing that is definitely most unique about Vee that’s sets her apart from her brothers and Jennika is that she is very proud of and comfortable with being a mutant. She doesn’t care if society doesn’t think it’s ideal. She don’t care about society’s ideals period. If it means she gets to live as her true self, which was usually being shunned and forcefully molded into something different by Big Mama, she won’t mind being rejected or called weird. This concept is something that she has raised Lita in and she usually tries to get her fellow turtle mutants to understand as she is confused why they want to be normal instead of themselves.

Vee is a hug friend/family first make sure they’re ok later kind of gal. If you’re someone she cares about deeply and something goes down, she will immediately attack you with a bear hug. She is usually very physical about her affection towards others but can also be somewhat wise when it comes to self worth and personal issues that may be affecting them. But don’t mistake her for her huggable demeanor. If you mess with her or anyone she cares about, you are dead in the water and about to get your butt whupped sooo bad. She can be short tempered with enemies but patient with allies and people in pain who she understands far too well.

PS: Venus and the main turtles don’t become siblings immediately. Though she does live with them for a while she is not officially their sister until Splinter adopts her and Lita(which would happen a month or two after Vee and Splinter meet and Splinter trains her to join his sons in battle).

Anywho now for her relationship with her bros:

Pizza and Boba: Venus and Mikey tend to be the batshit crazy duo. Always think of new crackhead ideas that their siblings could never begin to comprehend. One would stand on the other’s shoulders as they would try and reach for a vent to escape or just to snag the last pop-tart. Though Venus will tend to be a little more mature and aware of when things are getting too serious for jokes and games. They’re the 2 silly goobers of the group giving enemies nicknames. Mikey is actually the one who came up with the nickname Vee when they first met and in response Vee deemed him as Miguel. Speaking of when they met Mikey completely ignored the fact of how weird it was that they met another turtle mutant and immediately threw his trust into her hands and tried to get to her know her as much as he could. They also both try to avoid fighting the most and try to end matter’s peacefully or with a good joke.

Tech and Turquoise: Donnie and Venus probably have the closest relationship with each other out of all the brothers. They are an unstoppable in sync duo on the battlefield. Yet also a peculiar combo. Technology a passion based on logic and strict reasoning and Chi the free flow of life with no boundaries and no clear explanation. Vee opens up to Dee more than she does with anyone(even Leo) and Dee does the same(similarly to how he does with Mikey). When they first met, Dee was the one who pried the most into her past and her life as he had noticed her wounds and scars first. They both love kpop, in different ways, but it still gives Donnie someone to info dump with who will actually understand what he’s talking about. They are definitely the most sarcastic of the group and will eat you up and roast you dry if they can and whenever you dare think about trying it.

Red Fire meets Blue Fire: Raph is the must reluctant to connect with Venus considering she’s technically Big Mama’s niece. When they first met Raph drilled her with questions whenever she messed up the facade she created to protect them from Big Mama. Raph tries to ignore her interactions with him as an attempt to prepare himself for another betrayal. Once Vee finally tells the whole true story of her harsh past, he feels even more conflicted feeling sympathy for her pain. When they do eventually work out their problems Vee and Raph are the sibling duo who tease each the most but still care about each other in the end. Kind of like Luz and Hunter(Owl House). Raph and Venus are also the most short tempered of the group.

2 Shades of Blue 1 Little Sis and 1 Big Bro: Leo is the one who is the most gentle with Venus. He worries his head off about her pain after she reveals how badly she had been beaten down and then shoved back up again. She appreciates it of course but hates how much of a hypocrite he is when he calls her out for saying it’s fine after erupting like a teal volcano of chi. They hold each other up when they reach there low points. Leo always insists that he helps Vee get home after using her chi in battle for fear of her overwhelming her body(which happens quite frequently when she strains herself). And Vee always immediately swoops in and hugs her big bro when he gets upset and needs to just let it all out.

(P.S. When the boys tell her that Leo has a crush on April, Venus thinks it is the most adorable thing ever and starts cooing at her big bro immediately, causing his brothers to tease him for being adorable😜(same thing when she finds out Rasey get together))

Chapter 6 Part 2

Raph stopped.

Usually he didn’t let anyone interrupt him during a fight. But this wasn’t usual. Donnie had never yelled at him like that before. Sure Raph got on his brothers nerves and got into loud arguments but not like this.

His purple branded brother had never let anyone see him so openly upset before. Not since they were like 9. Usually he would just stay in the tent and wait until he was fully collected to let anyone see him. The only person who ever got to see Dee like this was Mikey.

But Raph couldn’t think about that. That brought emotions and ‘mushy’ feelings and those made him look weak. They made him feel weak. And Raph wasn’t weak. He couldn’t be.

“Dee-” Of course Leo would change the entire subject in 2 seconds. He had the better traits of a big brother. The ones people respected. Raph was just stuck with being a bully.

“No! You guys are gonna make him upset again!” Tear tracks laid deep on his face. He looked so tired and his voice was so strained it was a miracle he wasn’t sobbing. His look shocked Raph just as much as the words and voice coming out of his mouth.

“Wait. Who?” Raph tried not to look concerned but his change of aggression was an obvious give.

“Mikey!”

Both Leo and Raph froze looking back and forth from each other. Confusion and utter disbelief crossed their faces.

“. . . Dee”

“All you ever do is fight! And everyone around you has to deal with it!”

“Donnie”

“You just keep on going on and on and”

“Donnie!”

“What?! What do you want me to do?! What do you want me to feel?!”

“Mikey isn’t here.”

The truth was well known but it still stung to have to hear it. Raph had to close his eyes and hide tears that burned at the tips of his eyelids. No Stop that It won’t help.

Donnie’s expression softened after realizing his mistake. He eyes shot to the ground, tears running down his face.

Everyone froze in the choking silence of their room. The sound of their dad doing the dishes was faint and seemed to slip further and further away. No one knew what to do.

Leo turned to Raph for guidance. Why did he do that sometimes? How was Raph supposed to know what to do? But somehow he always knew what Leo was thinking or tried to tell him. Even without words they knew each other too well.

Donnie was the first one to break the ice this time. “I-I mean-what I was trying to say was-” Hiccups interrupted his warbled speech. But the current youngest turtle was interrupted by the sound of Leo’s phone buzzing.

The blue turtle quickly answered eager to break the silence and awkwardness of the situation. “Hey April. This isn’t really the best time right now.”

“Have you guys seen the news?” She sounded so excited and enthusiastic that it contradicted the old vibe of the room.

“Nooooo.” Leo looked at his brothers in confusion. Donnie wiped his tears and leaned in closer to hear the conversation.

“Well you’re gonna wanna see this!”

April sent Leo a link as they remained on call. He opened the link to see the headline blaze into view in the news website’s signature animation.

SHIPPING DOCK SECURITY GUARDS AT EAST HARLEM FOUND WOUNDED BY MYSTERIOUS FOOT FIGURES

2 security guards are rushed to the hospital after being found with lethal wounds. The only clue police are left with is a piece of ripped fabric from the attackers’ clothing.

“Scroll down and look at the picture!”

Leo did as told and gasped at the sight before him. The picture was badly lit but the red circle containing the emblem of a foot was clearly seen on the dark clothing.

“Is that it?! Is that what the emblem from your attackers looked like?!”

They couldn’t believe how easily this had just appeared. It was both horrifying and relieving to find their first point in the right direction.

“Holy fucking-”

“Oh my-”

“Yes! Yes! It is! April you’re a genius!”

The turtle brothers celebration was brief as they got ready and geared up. Raph was rushed more than he usually did. Hold on Mikey. We’re coming.

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

Pain.

What a great way to wake yourself with. Mikey didn’t even have the strength to open his eyes for a while. But that didn’t matter in their eyes. They just kept on asking question after question until they rendered him useless.

At this point it was a good thing Mikey wasn’t dead. But that wasn’t quite comforting enough to fight the pain. He assumed he had two black eyes again(Great yet another reminder of the whole super duper fly fight).

He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to at least see what was going on. It took effort and he definitely had 2 black eyes but he did it. It was dark only the moonlight lit the large room. It looked like one of the old abandoned warehouses him and his brothers used to explore before rendering them boring. Back when they weren’t allowed to be a part of civilization and were forced to live in the sewers.

He was sitting with his legs crossed. Partially hovering over the ground because of the chains that pressed into his skin and kept his arms and shell tightly bound to the pillar behind him. Sharp movements made his head spin and his face distort in pain that followed.

“Look who decided to wake up.”

Mikey craned his neck up to see his captor. It was the same one from last night. 2 other figures stood guard lurking around the now confirmed warehouse.

“Good mornin” Whenever a situation was unexpected, Mikey usually saw comedy as a good ice breaker.

“So the freak thinks it’s funny.” It was easier to see that the people of the room were leaning against or sitting on old tables.

“Is that a bad thing?” He was using that tone where he was trying to be polite but it always was seen as rude by his dad and adults. Mikey probably shouldn’t have kept talking but the teenager had a bad habit of rambling in these situations.

The main person who was talking- whom of which Mikey found to be an older teenage boy- was obviously not amused. His expression was very similar to the expression of the milk lady, dull and obviously stuck up in themselves yet also threatening. Looking like at any moment he would pounce.

“I mean isn’t like laughter the best medicine? So what’s so bad about being funny?” Mikey shuffled in his uncomfortable position. Hoping that for some reason his struggle would release him from the figurative and literal chains of this moment. But that only made the tight literal chains more and more unbearable as blisters formed. He needed to get out of here.

His thoughts were interrupted when on of the other figures delivered a sharp blow to his stomach causing him to double over. At least as much as his restraints allowed. It felt like his guts were flipped inside out and then hit with a speeding highway vehicle. The older teen then waltzed over as Mikey groaned and gagged. He yanked Mikey’s chin up firmly only letting the turtle look at him and him alone. His face was scrunched up in pure hate and disgust the turtle.

“Now you listen to me smartass. I-”

“Enough!”

Towards Mikey’s right a fourth figure leapt in through a broken window. At closer glance Mikey found that they were a she. Her raven black hair shone in the moonlight with white streaks with repelled the light. She stood tall with authority and grace. The other 2 guards addressed her by bowing.

“Lieutenant, what did I say about beating the target?”

The Lieutenant growled before shoving Mikey’s face down and turning to face the girl. “Come on he was being a brat. Besides aren’t there 3 oth-”

“What did I say?” Raising her voice made even the Lieutenant flinch. Mikey could tell she was definitely the boss here(definitely super badass). The Lieutenant glared at Mikey, as if he had intentionally caused this, before turning and bowing. “Not to. You told me not to beat the freak. I apologize General.”

He recognized her voice from somewhere. He realized where when she set her backpack on the table.

“Hey aren’t you Aprils new friend?! What was your name? Oroku something? What the heck Oroku?!”

She was definitely pissed now but she kept her dull tone and hid her annoyance. “First of all it’s Oroku Karai. Second of all it’s Japanese so the last name is said first. And third of all if you know what’s best for you than you will keep your mouth shut.”

Mikey decided that he would do just that. Karai was definitely not someone to be messed with. At least she won’t let them hit me anymore.

“And as for you Lieutenant” Karai turned and marched in front of him and the Mikey’s other captors. “Yes we do need his three accomplices thanks to your incompetent job on the initial attack. But how do you expect us to find them if they’re aware of our initiatives?”

Mikey sat there not liking the sound of how this was going. His head still swam and left his thoughts loosely floating in a sea of confusion. Accomplices?

Karai was obviously growing impatient by the silence. Another thing he noticed was that she never really looked at him. And when she did and Mikey noticed, it was never for more than a second.

“I spoke with Master Shredder. He said that to draw them out we must use something that they want.”

Mikey could hardly keep in the shock of his realization. They aren’t talking about my brothers, are they?

“Well what do they want?” The Lieutenant was obviously not as smart as his leader.

“From my understanding they call each other brothers.” Shit. She really was just a toxic snake wasn’t she. And she was good too. But for some reason her expression broke into something softer. Something filled with guilt and pain.

The Lieutenant however hadn’t given Mikey the mercy of guilt. His face twisted into a cruel smirk as he turned to face Mikey’s fear filled face. No no no no no no. This can’t be happening.

“Then lets test that brotherly loyalty.” The Lieutenant continued staring with a sickening smile that put gasoline on Mikey’s fire of fear. “When do we leave to get their attention?”

“Troops were already sent this afternoon.” Karai continued with a full expression on her face. “They’ll bring back the targets when their job is finished.”

No no no no no no no.

“Now if you excuse me I have . . . business to attend to.” She marched out from the warehouse arms plastered behind her back. Once she left the Lieutenant slip back into his freedom without Karai overhead.

Mikey was stuck in the shock his captors cruel plan. Leo Raph Donnie. Please.

He hung his head low in defeat knowing that soon his brothers would have to go through the same pain he did.

Please be ok.

Finally back to this au. Have a Hoppy Easter and Cowabunga turtle fans.
