#I went ham on this because I love going ham with Raph

[3mutantsinatrenchcoat]

It takes a village to raise a family part 7

Part 6 , part 8

This amazing au is made by the amazing @angelpuns

This is the continued day from the previous part, we have two more parts to seal this 24 hour long segment and then we will be back to our regularly scheduled dibble dabbles because hooooo boy...this is going hammy ham

We started cooking a few hours before we would be there, he cooked what sides we could find in the cabinets. I started on a pie at the table.

"now don't go burning it this time darling" he looked over his shoulder, stirring the pot.

I glanced over at him, rolling my eyes. His smile lit up the room as we got back to work on our food. "It was only that one time, and I never cooked a pie before"

"uh-uh- there was another!" He grins, waving his spoon around. "You nearly burnt down the house!"

"hey! I'm old! I am nearly in my-...huh..." I looked down at the pastry I was making, I couldn't remember my own age..and it seemed he picked up on it because he burst out in a fit of laughter. "Oh hush!" I turned to look at him as he hunched over. If he was any younger he might have fallen dramatically on the floor.

"shush! Get to cooking we have to get this ready-" I couldn't help but laugh. His laugh was.. infectious. I couldn't have asked for anyone different than him. He is truly the love of my life.

We managed to finish with 2 hours to spare, the food put in bowls and placed in a basket with a cloth to cover them. I turned to look up at my husband only to be met with laughter. "You are covered in flour my dear" he wiped his hand across my face, showing his hand. I couldn't help but laugh and took his hand gently. "My dear, your fur is white..I can't see it" I smiled at him, watching his face shift to embarrassment.

"let's go ahead and head over, I want to see the boys" I pulled away and gathered the basket.

"um...darling, you might want to at least change into something cleaner" he ruffled my fur on the top of my head before planting a kiss down.

Once I got changed we left the house, I rarely got to wear my handmade items but I couldn't resist the lovely red fabric of my hakama, especially when paired to the kimono that my husband had bought for our 20th anniversary.

We talked and joked all the way to Splinter's home. As soon as we reached where he lived I could see one of the boys in the window.

"alright game plan" my husband turned to me. "I'll help finish up dinner and you-"

"I'll deal with the munchkins" I smiled back at him.

We knocked as we went inside, my husband went to the kitchen while I went for the boys. I found them all watching me from the living room. I smiled as I got closer, the smile turning into something sinister the boys all picked up on except for Mikey.

And that's when I struck, I ran and snatched up Mikey "RAAAAA!! THE EVIL WOOD GRASS CLOUD DONNIE HAS RETURNED!!" and with that I ran as all the boys shrieked and scrambled after.

I turned into the hallway, booking it away from little Leo and his wooden sword who was accompanied by Donnie and his trusty stick he found outside. Raph turned into the hall, blocking me in.

"sur-..uh- sure-nder-" Leo struggled before raising his sword "evil monsta!"

I couldn't help but giggle before turning to face them. "Oh you fool!" I tickled Mikey earning a shriek and a laugh, the initial shriek causing the boys to charge giving me an opening to escape around them as Leo and Donnie crashed into each other.

I turned to make sure they were okay before I took off, leading the 3 back into the living room. "Leo get him!" Donnie shouts as Leo pushed past him into the living room, Mikey giggling the entire time. I climbed over the couch and ran across it as the boys tried to run after on both sides. I jumped over the end and ran up the stairs, the three followed. As I ran around the upstairs, raph chased after there was a rather dramatic moment at the top of the stairs.

A wooden sword struck in between Leo's left arm and his side, he let out a dramatic gasp before turning to face Donnie. "Don?.."

"an act of betrayal leon-" there was slight hesitation before Donnie reenacted from a play recently held in the village and pushed him.

"Leo!" I ran and fell on my side with a thump, twisting so mikey wouldn't get hurt and caught Leo before he hit the stairs, holding him above them before I pulled him close to me.

I let out a shakey breath before looking at the boys, all of them wide eyed. Donnie with regret in his. "Hey, hey it's okay- it's okay-" I sat up, setting mikey down before I scooped Donnie onto my lap with Leo, leaning against the stair banister.

"i-i coulda hurt em-!" Donnie had tears building up fast, Leo was starting to cry as well.

"but you didn't, you didn't Donnie, and you realized it's wrong. You are okay, you both are look-" I spoke softly, wiping both of their faces. "Leo isn't hurt, just startled"

The two sniffled and looked at each other. "It's okay, you are okay"

"is everything okay?" My dear rounded the corner out of the kitchen and looked up at us. "Heard a noise-? Sounded bad?'

"it's alright!" I smiled at him "just kids learning the power of betrayal-"

He gave me a scrunches up confused look, smiling still. "Alright, well why don't you all come down for dinner?"

It was like nothing had happened at all, all 4 of them screamed for food and raced down the stairs. My husband went around them and climbed the stairs up to me, holding his hand out to me "darling, would you like to go have dinner with me?"

I couldn't help but laugh at him, taking his hand "are you asking me on a date?"

"it would be the greatest honor" he smiles and pulled me to my feet, escorting us down the stairs and to the table.

We sat down beside each other, the boys wanted to sit together.

"so, what was that noise?" Splinter looked up from his food.

I turned to look at the boys who didn't know how to respond so I spoke up. "The great and terrifying wood grass cloud Donnie corrupted the great and POWERFUL Donatello, but he wasnt strong enough! The brotherly love was too much!"

My husband laughed as I made grand gestures, the kids beaming.

After dinner I took the boys to their beds, splinter and my dear gathered the dirty dishes. Donnie and Leo shared the bed for the night, Mikey joined in as well and of course Raph wasn't going to let anything happen to them so he had to join to. "alright, who wants a bedtime story?" I sat down beside them.

Once the boys fell asleep I went to meet the two, overhearing part of their conversation as I walked into the kitchen.

"we can do what we can for the boys while you are gone, the village will be here you know that-" my husband turned to me, I could feel the unease in the room, it was like a rotted flower blooming and draining.

"...I guess it's about time we talked about this..." He turned to Splinter before looking at me.

Splinter spoke up "I'm going back to fight"

"....what-"

25 and 55 for the fic ask game :]

[Stealing Danger's Idea -- Linking the ask game right here]

25. What fic do you wish you got more of a response on?

That's a good question... I am once again going to pick from my most recent works, just because those are the fics I've been the most proud of so far! And also, because it's the fandom I'm in right now. You know how it is.

Honestly, it's a tie between these hands covered in ivy and a fireplace! They're both two fics I had a lot of fun working on and genuinely, I get why maybe they weren't as popular. One of them literally has a Major Character Death warning (which hey, I understand avoiding), and the other... is a one-shot that doesn't even reach the 2k words. I just really liked exploring Cassandra & Raph as queerplatonic partners in those two fics, and while it's not everyone's cup of tea, it would have been fun for them to be more recognized anyway. I went HAM exploring the love and intimacy in both of those, you know? A fireplace I am also still really proud of, just because of how well the fluff I wrote came out.

55. Of the characters you write for, which is your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

I am going to be the most predictable guy alive to those who know me. Raph is one of the guys I love writing the most -- along with Future Leo. They're just the two POVs that feel the most "natural" for me to slip into! Raph because I relate to him, and Future Leo... because I know how to write Leo's POV, and I know how his point of view could have changed depending on what happened to him. The horrors, you know?

I don't think that has ever really been swayed by my followers or readers, though. I've always written for myself first and foremost. If I don't have fun writing a story if I struggle to fall onto a POV-- what's the point? I need to be enjoying what I'm doing, so generally, I try not to let myself be influenced by followers & readers. I'm always going to listen, though, ofc-- and sometimes it helps me unblock something and makes me have a REALIZATION-- but most of the time I try to stick to what I WANT to do.

HEY SHARK!! thoughts on the Rottmnt trailer? :0

Hoo boy... okay I'm gonna put my thoughts under the cut cause there's ALOT

I screamed bascially the whole time watching the trailer, so there's that to start off

But I'm really, so INCREDIBLY EXCITED!!! I want to see my boys so bad I want them to be badass and kick some alien ass

I'm liking the future stuff, sorta has me thinking a but about what that would entail. It doesn't seem to me the turtles are super-duper close in Casey's future, Mikey seems to be a kinda... mage? Magic dude? Mystic hermit man, idk, but Leo's really gone ham with the leader thing, which I think is very interesting. Because of the whole... arm thing, I'm like... 80% sure Raph is dead... so um.... I have THOUGHTS.

Raph has always been the most self-sacrificing of the turtles, mostly cause he's bigger and stranger than his bros and can afford to take a hit before the can, but he's not INVINCIBLE. (We have all seen the Shredder Fight, we adore you Raph for protecting Donnie but also DONT FUCKING DIE IN THE PROCESS PLEASE) If anything, I think that's what would have caused his demise, which might of caused the other ninjas to drift apart, especially if he died protecting one of them.

And Donnie wasn't shown in the trailer, I think he probably went full-tech cyborg surrounded himself with robots type beat. He would defo close himself off after Raph died, cause that's just him.

Or maybe Raph doesn't die. That's the good end.

Anyway, more on the movie, I'm excited to see Leo as Leader, as much as I love my boy Raph. I have my own thoughts on why I think Splinter made Raph step down as leader (that I'll hopefully make a fic of soon) But I really want to go into how everyone interacts with him now that Leo is leader, especially how Leo and Raph interact togther.

Also, I do hope some of the less... alien and more mutant villans show up. Like Hypno and Warren from the trailer, but I want them all!!! Ghost Bear, Repo, Meatsweats, EVERYONE. I want them to help defend earth, only cause they live on earth and don't want to be killed by aliens.

Also Draxum. I want him to interact with the turtles and help defeat aliens SO BAD... also Draxum and Splinter interactions for the soul.

I am pretty interested in Casey Jones, especially in regards to Cass. This whole "Leo is my master from the future" has some real interest to me, especially if he's one of Cass's decendants or smth.

Anyway, I just hope no one dies. Those are my main hopes.

I saw your requests are open and was wondering if I could get a raph x reader smut where raph has a size kink, like he really likes how tiny reader is compared to him. Bonus points for manhandeling and picking up😏... also this is my first time requesting a fic so sorry if I’m doing it wrong

You know what I love this. It’s been a hot minute since I wrote for Raph. Size kink is also like perfect for him so double yes. I went a little hard on this 🥴

Rated Explicit (18+ only)

Your shrieks of delight only fueled him when he pulled you into him with a swift move of his arm. That muscular bicep wrapped itself around your waist and lifted you off your feet in one effortless sweep that only caused another shriek to escape your mouth.

“Wanna be a brat? Get treated like a damn one!” He held you up and gave a quick spin to further make you scream. Pushing Raphael’s buttons was a fun past time, especially when you mouthed off to him with every intention of getting him playfully pissy. You’d been raggin on him, poking and prodding as you best did and when you had poked a little further, prodded a little too much, he’d gotten up with every intention of chasing you.

Now suspended in the air with nothing but his strong arm holding you, you playfully smacked his forearm. “Let me go!” You wheezed out through another fit of giggles. “A fall from this height would kill ya” He grinned when you scoffed. Raph took the opportunity to sneak his free hand against your most ticklish spots which only upped the shrieks.

He maneuvered you again effortlessly, over his broad shoulder.

And that large hand of his smacked your rear. You hissed, kicking your legs which only made him laugh. “Ya look like a hamster babe, real tiny one” You felt him start to walk, a swift nudge of his foot on the door alerted you to him moving the two of you to the bedroom. Resting your chin on your fist you caught a look at the mirror and blushed.

He wasn’t kidding. You’re small, in general even to the most basic sized human.

But there was certainly nothing small about your attitude.

A nudge of his shoulder sent you falling on the bed with a couple of bounces. This mattress wasn’t going to survive this relationship.

You watched with a grin as he began to strip off what was left of his gear. With a raise of your brow you propped yourself on your elbows to enjoy the visual. “And what do you think you’re going to do?” You asked coyly, Raph shrugged his shoulders. “Fuck tha’ bad attitude outta ya system, as I usually do” He gripped your ankles and slid you down towards him. “Making me do all tha’ work as usual” Not so ceremoniously he almost ripped your shorts off, not missing the way you bit your lip at the display.

You rid yourself of your sleep shirt, spare it’s potential demise by his hands. Raph took a second to admire you, your soft body, small frame, curves so perfectly displayed for his viewing and grabbing pleasure. He wasn’t an asshole, he knew you were fragile in the human body aspect, no matter how much you presented yourself as a pint sized tough as nails brat, you were still pint sized.

But much like you, he’d grown to really enjoy that aspect. To work his strength, control how much he could give without hurting you. He climbed onto the bed, hand swiftly chucking his bandana off as he hovered above you.

You took every opportunity to run your eyes over every piece of green scale and muscles. He kept those green eyes glued to you while he reached for the night stand for a bottle of lube.

“Really gonna fuck this attitude out of me?” You teased, hips rolling up. He grinned, that scar on his upper lip perfectly on display.

“Ya bet yer sweet ass I’m gonna” He dipped down and caught your nipple between his teeth before sucking. You found your hands clasping behind his head, toes curling with each flick of his tongue. The sensation always making you heated. Raph’s teeth sunk down on the flesh beneath your mound and sucked a bruise onto it.

Territorial bastard.

He repeated the same motion onto your other breast. This time he sunk his teeth on the flesh of your stomach, another sizable bruise forming. His lips kissed each vibrating spot, the pain always melting into pleasure. “Ever tell ya how pretty ya look like this? Under me, my mouth on ya skin?” He kissed a path up your neck, sucking the flesh but opting not to leave anything too noticeable. Those scarred lips found the shell of your ear. “Ya belong to me” He grumbled there, serious and placing a symbolic period to that statement with a bite to your earlobe.

Soaked? No.

Drenched? Yes.

You desperately sought out his lips, kissing him with every desirable force you could muster. He growled into your mouth before once again effortlessly moving you with a flick of his hands on top of him. It was the best way to start, with his size and all.

But he wasn’t complaining about the view.

“Up baby” You lifted yourself enough to let him squirt a very generous amount of lube onto his thickening cock. The sight of his hand covering his length, the sound of it, the way he never took his eyes off of you.

Your knees were buckling already.

He tossed the bottle to the side, gripped your hips and lifted you. Palms landed on his plastron for support as he sank you down onto his cock, slow, excruciatingly slow.

Each pull, stretch and burn making your eyes close tightly. “Oh my god” You whispered as he slowly brought you down. “Fffuck, yer so fucking hot” Nails dug into the grooves of his plastron, thighs shook as he settled you onto his cock.

He let you adjust, find your bearings with soft circles rubbing into your thighs. “So good, see? Yer already behaving” Raph grinned when you glared, bucking his hips up and enjoying the strangled choked noise you produced. His large hands landed on your waist and without breaking a sweat he began to lift and push you down onto his stiff cock like some toy.

Oh you loved that so fucking much.

“Look at ya, little brat knows how to take this big dick, huh?” He growled out between teeth, all you could do was nod and moan. Two sets of three fingers dug into your skin with every purpose in mind to mark. You were to remember this for a few days.

Raph gave your bottom another slap that made you choke. “Gonna bust a nut in this tight hole” His moves were pronounced but never with malice, forceful to proof a point but careful and loving regardless. “Who’s my little toy?” He grinned up at You, watching as your eyes cross with the intensity of feeling him so deeply within you. Another smack to your reddened cheeks brings you back enough to answer him. “Me! I’m your little toy, oh fuck Raph-“ Your mouth opened, something akin to a moan slipping out.

When you forget words and head into straight babbling that’s when he knows he can flip you over again. Beneath him, legs against his shoulders you feel every sweetly achingly sensation drag in and out of you with each thrust. His large hands wrap so easily around your calves, hips thrusting and the squeak of the poor mattress accompanying your wails.

Raph manages to catch the ‘please’ that’s wrapped around his name like a pretty bow. “Ya want it baby? Want my cum dripping out that pretty little hole?” He emphasizes it with a bite to your ankle. All you can do is nod, hands gripping the sheets for dear life. When the band breaks, every euphoric torrent breaking upon you, you can barely make a word, just a long loud moan. Raph’s thrusts pick up just enough to teeter on painful but a couple of quick thrusts is all he needs to cum. It’s, well it’s a lot, warm and so fucking warm. He throws his head back with a growling churr, eyes shut in ecstasy as he feels You spasm and milk him till there’s nothing left. He gives you a few lazy strokes before slowly, painfully so, sliding out.

You watch him enjoy the debautched sight of his mess leak out of you, a string of it still connected to his cock.

Before you can muster words his mouth is against your own, kissing you somewhat back into reality.

Me: *gets validation from you* Me: 😭😍 Hi, it’s me again (I’ll slow down with the asks after that😅) Girl, no joke your AUs are 1 of the best cure for my anxiety I swear; no dark thought can resist the « 😍😭 ☀️» feeling I get from your posts. I have a tiny request if possible (feel free to ignore): I have a very stressful week coming (I play in a violin concert tomorrow, then work and study for 3 exams) Could you tell me how Mikey and/or the boys cheer each others out in stressful times? 😘❤️

Saw this super late but I hope your concert went well!!! (I get having a stressful week, believe me! Good luck with everything and don’t forget to breathe!) Mikey’s love language is hugs and food. Whenever he sees the boys down or stressed out about something, his go-to is the boy’s favorite comfort foods and a movie night slumber party with extra pillows and blankets on the pullout couch.  Leo likes Mexican food, Donnie likes sushi, Raph loves sweets. Pizza is a must, and each of the boys has a particular pizza joint they like, but nothing really beats Mikey’s homemade deep dish everything pizza, with extra mozzarella. Comfort food, plus lots of hugs ala Mikey, and their favorite Jupiter Jim movie, and it’s a guaranteed de-stressor and good night in. (Unless it’s like, a really bad stressor, then certain other protocols are taken to make sure the baby brother is ok and all the necessary and healthy precautions are taken before fun relaxing night time party can begin.) The same goes for Mikey. If Mikey’s having a really bad and stressful week, the boys will go out of their way to make it less so by taking some of the burdens off of Mikey’s shoulders. They’ll do their chores and finish their homework and then attempt to make some semblance of dinner for Mikey before he comes home. (They aren’t great at cooking. But Donnie’s a literal evil genius and Leo is usually pretty lucky when he wings something, so with Raph chipping in whenever he can, how hard can making a few pineapple and ham grilled cheeses really be???) It does the trick, because even if they fail miserably at it, Mikey appreciates the little gestures to the moon and back, so he takes it for what it is, and it immediately 180′s his mood and he’s smiling so hard his cheeks hurt by the end of the night, so win-win for everyone.

(lia) please i hate thirteen's sprite so much, she looks so non-obey me-ish and so much like an oc designed by a player. mephistos is p good imo, and raphaels as well (bc they copied mammons and solomons assignment but shh) but overall i was SO dissappointed to see the only non-male potential LI being kinda off.

SIGHHHH YEAH Seriously the one and only thing I have an issue with regarding Thirteen right now is the design!! Why’d they go so crazy with the colors on her head?? Stands so soooooo much in the cards where she’s with other characters lmfao where did all the restraint go? I really wish they picked either the hair or the eyes to go ham with then left the other alone.

And yeah god I feel like I’ve ragged on about Raph’s design too, but it’s so… Why? Why didn’t they go literally any other more unique direction for the guy? Unless he actually is Mammon’s twin that no one ever talks about?

A point that I noticed after seeing some screenshots of the new memory cards: The new characters stand out even MORE because the art style doesn’t line up with the others!! GAHH!! I sincerely hoped that they’d fix that before the new characters went live but I guess not!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m personally still super curious about them but mainly because aside from Raphael, I’m going to edit my OC’s story so that she’s met everyone before. No one can convince me that MC, in their one full year of stay in the Devildom and one shorter one, has never met Mephistopheles, former head of the newspaper club and is apparently friends with Satan, enemies with Lucifer, former friends with Diavolo?? And I personally have always envisioned Dolasach to have some sort of relationship to the reaper because I based her off of a character I have that’s also a reaper >.>;;

Also I’m actually surprisingly okay with someone underestimating us? Because honestly, what a fresh breath of air Barbatos was when it turns out he wasn’t head over heels in love with MC and didn’t fall in love with them in S3

#lia!! 💚 #chat & colloquy #obey me spoilers #sal et suka #it’s alright to be negative about the game with me babes like have you seen half the shit i post here??? #HAHAHA yeah i have a ton of gripes with this game too but i still enjoy the fuck out of it #i enjoy the fuck out of a ton of things i have a lot of gripes with sigh #thats unfortunately the first sign that I’m genuinely invested in something

Sushi fun!!

I'm going to do my own Sushi story that @roninhunt0987 did. Yet I have to be honest that there was hardly ANY SUSHI EATING!!! And I'm bumped and Suzuki is pissed so. I'm making my version where there is actually sushi eating. Sorry dude your storys are usually on point but this time it was a miss. I know you were tired.

Gen’ichi and his family were having a nice lovely evening. Ninjara was getting ready to start making dinner while gen was keeping the kids in the living room. (since they didn't want the kids to get hurt in the kitchen when dinner was being made)

Ninjara: *walks into the living room tying her apron* ok everyone I’m about to start what should I make for mom dinner night?

The kids were getting all excited because they were HUNGRY!!!!! Gen'ichi and Ninjara had 8 kids. Septuplets and one little baby. Ran, Rei, Reiko, Rika, Miwa, Nori, Gen'ichi jr and Lil Geni. They began to say what they wanted

Ran: Burgers!!!

Rei and Reiko: Pasta!

Miwa: mac and cheese

lil Geni:....ham

SUSHI!!!

Everyone paused...

Gen'ichi: who screamed sushi?

All of a sudden, there aunt Suzuki bust down the door and made a very heroic post!

Suzuki: I said Sushi!!

Kids: Auntie Suzuki *They all run to her as there dear mother looked in horror*

Ninjara: My front door!!! 

All 8 of the kids fox piled there Auntie Suzuki pushing her to the ground all laughing.

Suzuki: hehehehe ok ok you little nuggets your got your auntie Suzuki *she said as she was getting up from the floor*

Gen’ichi: Hey sis, why you yelled Sushi?

Ninjara: And why did you break down my door?!

Suzuki: Oh good questions, and let me answer with “Who wants sushi for dinner!?”

Kids: sushi!

Gen’ichi and Ninjara: sushi?

Suzuki: Yes, I know this great sushi belt restaurant and I am taking you all for some sushi tonight!!

Kids: Yay, Sushi sushi sushi!! *all the kids began to cheer*

Gen’ichi: well that's very nice of you sis. But why sushi? You never really this excited for Sushi?

Suzuki: what? Can I just invite my favorite brother and his lovely family to dinner? I’m hurt bro I am so hurt! *Suzuki was being a bit dramatic*

Gen’ichi and Ninjara: *raised there eyebrows*

Suzuki: ok ok This Sushi place if you eat more you get more chances to win a prize, last time I went there alone I ate 40 plates of sushi and won twice and the prizes were the same a tiny sushi keychain but i wanted to see what other prizes they have...you know me bro....I have a weakness for prize games.

Gen’ichi: there that wasn’t so hard huh Suzuki.

Ninjara: well sushi those sound nice, and I know if you want to go back the food has to be good.

Suzuki: Sooooo?

Gen'ichi: kids get your shoes on we are going out tonight!

The kids cheer and began running all over the house each one trying to find and get there shoes. After finally getting there shoes on the family fallows Suzuki to “Tai’s Sushi” a restaurant that appeared several months ago. As they walk in they are meet with the host who took them to a LARGE booth where Mikey and Raph were there.

Gen’ichi: Mikey? Raph? What are you guys doing here?

Mikey: Sis invite us to this sushi party!

Raph: Yeah, sorry sis dad, Leo< and Donnie could not make it.

Gen’ichi and Ninjara look at Suzuki was a glare and Suzuki just shrug. She though she could get a bit more help. Wow Suzuki you are crazy for prizes. Everyone has a seat and GJ looked confused.

GJ: were are the menus?

Suzuki: oh its here this pad *Suzuki points to the pad which she was right next too* here you can order specials order but if you don't want that you can grab anything from the belt see all the food.

Since Suzuki finally mentioned it everyone notice a conveyer belt full of sushi  they even notice a screen above the belt where the game was and above that was the prize box.

(closest pic I can find but with booths)

Suzuki: Any way the more you eat the more chances you get at winning but it not easy they make it a lucky draw. So its mostly lucky. So is everyone ready to try this place?

Everyone: yes!

Suzuki grabbed the pad and order some simple type of sushi for the kids. Like tuna, salmon, cucumber rolls and crab sushi too. After the special order arrive Suzuki began to take plates of the belt and placing them on the table. There must have been one plate for every kind of sushi at that table. Everyone began to chow down.

Geni: *see some werid green paste* what's this?

Ninjara: oh that is wasabi honey. It's a spicy paste you put on sushi. *puts a piece of Uramaki in her mouth*

Before anyone can react Geni puts the whole blob of it in her mouth.

Gen'ichi: Ahhh sweetie!!!

Suzuki: oh furball no!!

Geni: what....? *feels no pain*

Everyone: huh?

Suzuki: wait, Geni your not crying from the spice?

Geni: no, it those not taste anything to me

Mikey: really? Maybe wasabi is not so spicy *pics up a picese of wasabi*

Raph: Mikey-

Suzuki: No!

Mikey stick the whole piece in his mouth and that moment he knew....he ...fucked up! Mikey began screaming from the pain and began to run all over the restaurant, people were videotaping Mikey making a ass of himself.

Suzuki: *makes a cup of green tea* Mikey!! Drink this!!!

Mikey gets the cup and gulps it down in a sec. It taste bad to him but it stopped the pain. Mikey was on the floor pants from running and from the pain. The kids all laugh and Suzuki speaks up.

Suzuki: dont become your uncle mikey kids.

Mikey: Hey!!

After the excitement they all got a good stack of plates and were ready to see if they will win.

Suzuki: ok 5 plates for each try

GJ: can I try frist

Ninjara: of course sweetie all you kids will get a turn.

GJ moved his seat and sat on his dad lap so he could reach. He put the 5 plates in the machine and a little cartoon appeared on the screen under the prize machine. The cartoon says....loser.

GJ: awww

Mikey: sorry little dude

Raph: it is a game of luck.

Suzuki: it's ok bud *runs GJ's head*

Rei: Me next me next!!

Rei had a go...lost

Rei: dang it!

Gen'ichi: it's ok sweetie we have more plates

Soon it was Reiko...lost....Ran....lost....Miwa...lost.

Ninjara: I'm starting to think this is rigged.

Geni: My twurn *push the plates in and won!?*

Kids: huh!?

Geni: yay!!!!

Suzuki: good job furball you won.

Geni won a cutie little kid bracelet from the prize box it fit her wrist with little plastic charms on it.

Geni: hehehehe

After seeing the prize there little siblings got the septuplets were determined to get some prizes too. After doing the game more of the game Nori got a prize. It was a keychain of a ramen bowl it looked every cute.

Gen'ichi: I guess we need more sushi *took some sushi off the belt*

After about 30 mintues of more eating...from what Suzuki can tell they have been there for over and hour and won twice. They got more plates from the kids eatting every sushi that lands on the table. Gen'ichi worst fear....Suzuki was teaching his kids her guilty pleasure.

After so many games each child finally got a prize. How much sushi did they eat...over 200 plates and won 9 prizes. Suzuki of course got one. Everyone walked out of the restaurant super full.

Raph: I never want to see a tuna roll again...

Mikey: *covers mouth because he felt like her was going to barf*

Ninjara: ok kids let's go home *she said as she holds some of the kids*

Geni: Auntie Suzuki?

Suzuki: yes honey?

Geni: can we come back here again?

Suzuki: *smiles*yes

Gen'ichi and Ninjara: NOOOO *both scream*

The End

Bonus

Mikey: *bards in some bushes while raph pats his back*

Raph: let it all out bro

Mikey: Bleeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggghhhhhhhh

@roninhunt0987 here you go dude

Finished the concept art!

Here's Raph as an Earth dragon:

I'm real proud of this one. I LOVE what I did with the contrast; I feel the color pops but is also nice on the eyes. Might change the wings later, I don't know yet.

And here's my inspiration picture for the dragon design:

Here's Donnie as Air

This was the the first one I did after my twin gave me an idea, and I stayed up until 5 am working on it. I love the design I came up with, but I don't really like how the folded wings look. The colors are alright; I didn't have all the colors I needed so I just worked with what I had.

Inspiration:

Leo with Water:

I went full HAM with the colors here. I love how it looks; I feel it has a lot going on, but not too much to be eyesore. His yellow markings are supposed to be more of a shiny gold, but I'll have to fix it when I import and trace the designs on digital.

Inspiration (this was hella difficult to find):

And Mikey with Fire:

Love the design I came up with, but I still hate how the colors look. I tried to smoothen them out, but this is the best I got, so again, I'll have to fix it in digital.

Inspirations:

I used 2 pictures because I found the second picture first, liked the idea of fire going down his back, but I also thought it was a little too bland, so I found the first one pictured and made a bit of a mashup between the two.

I'll post info about the characters later. Maybe when I finish the digital versions, but we'll see how long that takes first. And for anyone wondering, the wings in the top corner are just reference for when they're not folded. Leo doesn't have one because his wings aren't folded.

GD Maddening tier list and diverse opinions

End of the lesson!

(shittons of images ahead)

S tier

Claude

A pure glass-canon during part 1, aka hit the strongest and died to a sneeze. In my first playthrough, he had accuracy issues so this time around I went Archer-Hero. Hit+20 is really good and he appreciates it over Death Blow imo (but then again my Claudes never struggled with Strength). You do want to give him an Angelic Robe or something though, because the growth rates are BAD in the Archer class and HP is a valuable stat. Barbarossa is still the strongest class in the game so to no one’s surprise, part 2 Claude was a beast who carried the whole run.

Leonie 

The first time around, I had a bad Leonie. Now I understand why she’s considered the strongest unit in the game bare the lords. Bulky, hits hard, decently speedy, has access to Point-Blank Volley. My only regret with Leonie is not giving her Hit+20; and that’s pretty much it. Absolute unit, hard carry through the whole thing. She doesn’t have the raw killing power of Claude, but she’s the sort of unit I could just send thinking “she’ll be fine”; and she was.

Byleth

My Byleth are never specialized no matter how much I try, so I embraced it this time around and made her follow the Thief-Assassin-Trickster line. In this mode Byleth is consistent throughout the whole thing. Very strong early on thanks to her stats and personal Skill. While I didn’t go Enlightened One, it’s worth leveling it up to unlock the class skill, which is probably the best support skill in the game (+3 ATK -3 DMG taken to adjacent allies). Not much more to say... Except I think I prefer raising Byleth in magical classes. I don’t know, it’s my first run where her magic is kind of bad, and I wasn’t used to it.

A tier

Yuri 

I don’t think there’s much to say about him save for the fact he’s the best dancer in the game and he has Windsweep. Both proved useful. I feel like you can make a lot of things with Yuri, like probably turning him into the best dodge tank imaginable, and I’ll probably go ham with him when I play Silver Snow.

B tier

Ignatz

Easily one of my most useful unit in part 1; and I daresay better than Claude at some point. Ignatz’ personal makes him super reliable for chip damage throughout the whole game, and his Rally SPD is a life saver in the first chapters. His bad growths sadly catched up on him ultimately, and as my units became strong enough to live without his rallies, he really just became a chip-damage god. I went Archer > Sniper > Bow knight.

Hilda

I have this issue with Hilda that she’s average in everything, but never good. Though I have to say she got absolutely RNG screwed this time around... Compared to the last time: -2 HP, -5 STR, +4 MAG, +5 SKILL, -12 SPD (!!), -3 LCK, -3 DEF, -3 RES, +7 CHM. She basically spent the whole game relying on one-shots. Granted, she’s good at it, but it’s not exactly a viable strategy when the enemies have over 60 HP. Her Authority bane is actually an issue in this mode imo. I went Brigand > Wyvern Lord. Next time I play with her, I think I’ll try keeping her in Warrior for a while.

Seteth 

I didn’t use him much, but I’m putting him this high because he’s solid all around with no investment whatsoever. As you can see, he is on Hilda level of stats with 7 less level ups lol He has Swift Strikes and his personal is good + Rally DEF. Seteth is basically your mid-game pre-promote and like most of these, he does the job just alright when he needs to.

C tier

Lysithea

She’s a one-trick pony, which just doesn’t make the cut most of the time. Also RNG screwed, -12 MAG compared to the last time, it hurts. Better than Lorenz in end game, but honestly pretty much on the same level most of the time. She really love Dark Flier but nothing fixes her shit-tier hit rates.

Lorenz

Really solid mid-game and relegated to chip damage later on. After testing it out, I really appreciate Thyrus on him more than on Lysithea. It allows him to take on archers, even those who double him. His spell list is sadly what makes him average, more than his stats imo. I went Dark Mage-Dark Bishop-Dark Knight and it was the good choice.

Marianne

Marianne is an average healer, saved only by Physic, so this time I raised her Reason as well and she proved more useful that way. Nothing much to say. She heals, she deals chip damage. Certain Blow (Valkyrie’s skill) is good on her for the extra accuracy Lys and Lorenz lack.

D tier

Balthus

I tried. He’s just bad. Better than Raphael, but it’s not saying much when Raph is probably the worst student in the game. Granted, I had him follow the Monk-Bishop line lol Maybe he’s decent as a War Master....

Raphael 

I tried 2. Coming from Caspar I had hopes but Raphael is just bad... When you gotta chose between deploying him or Seteth, you get Seteth. Sorry Raph.

Conclusion: 

If it weren’t for Claude being so OP, this would have been wayyy more difficult. I know people like to say stat-wise he’s the worst lord, but I always had a better time with him than with the other two (both my Claudes ended up very similar). Actually if I compare him to my end game Dimitri, Dimitri has more HP, Strength and Defence, but Claude’s high Speed, accuracy and Charm gave him more flexibility and durability. (full comparison: -13 HP, -6 STR, +4 MAG, +9 SKL, +8 SPD, +3 LCK, -8 DEF, +4 RES, +14 CHM)

Of course there’s more than stats in this game. And yeah, Dimitri can Battalion Vantage-Wrath, but 1) I wonder how viable this strat is in Maddening 2) he loses to Gambits, 3) you just can’t dismiss the value of having Bowfair on a flier, not to mention Leicester Lineage+. Dimitri also has the inconvenient of being locked out of training and Tea time for a lot of chapters, making it hard for him to reach some high weapon ranks, including the much wanted Alert Stance +.

Other than that, of these units the only ones I’d find worth recruiting are Leonie and Yuri. I honestly don’t think Leonie has any equivalent in the other houses. Technically, Ferdie and Ingrid are also part of the “no bane gang”; but they ended up falling off hard for me and more similar to Sylvain or Petra. Leonie is a power house. I really want to experiment more with her and see how fun she can get, because I’m pretty sure she can rock whatever class progression you put her into.

Yuri is a must-have recruit because Canto on a dancer is just THAT good. Next time I would recruit him sooner than that, though, so he can built decent stats... Since he can fight.

For Maddening in general... 

-I liked that you have take advantage of every resource available. The Sauna, the Greenhouse, the cooking, the Gambits feel mostly useless of just extra fancy options in Hard; but here they are compulsory. 

-Same can be said about micromanagement. There’s a reason why I spent 20 more hours on this run than on hard; and it’s not the maps themselves. It’s the management. Taking the time to really think things through, to switch skills, classes, etc.

-The balance seemed correct enough, but if I ever did another Maddening NG+ run, I would limit the grind because it gives way too much money.

-The difficulty curve, funnily enough, is the same than on Hard. Rough start, bottleneck at chapter 5. Then the hardest maps are chapter 12, Reunion at Dawn, Gronder Field and Enbarr. And some Paralogues, of course.

-Speaking of Gronder Field, I read so many people say it was horrendous in Maddening I was actually surprised it wasn’t that bad. I found it challenging in a good way. It was probably one of the funniest map to play.

-Sadly same turn reinforcements are a thing, though I’d say they were only annoying in chapter 5 and Enbarr.

-I have no idea if I could ever clear this without NG+. If I ever tried, I would bench a bunch of people and recruit Mercedes, Sylvain, Petra and maybe Felix.

tl;dr

It was a lot of fun! I’d encourage you to try it if you found Hard mode too easy. imo it’s on Cindered Shadows Hard level of difficulty.

#you know the funny part? I'm not even burnt out by this game yet lol #katua plays gd maddening

Mikey the Unpredictable Wild Child

Oh, a thought about Michelangelo after the epic power move that was the IDW Macro Issue.

I'm still so happy at him. My only problem is now everyone knows exactly what he can do so he can't really be a Protect The Baby anymore. Unless it's Protect The Killer Cinnamon Roll So He Can Continue Being Amazing.

I was then assured that they know what he's capable of and that he really just doesn't like going Super Saiyan for his own reasons - reluctance to kill, his empathy, etc. Even back when Mirage initially portrayed him as very similar to Raph just with more naive childlike wonder before the micro series with Klunk, Mikey had that streak of atypical divergence that refused to be summed up in one or two noun words. The leader, the brains, the muscle... and who? The party dude? The wise guy? The wild one? The pizza lover? The comedian? What does that mean?

Mikey was neurodivergent before it was a word (coined in 2005 by the woman who would become my autistic mentor). And in the world of neurotypical abled average ordinary normalcy, even among mutants, those qualities are seen as.... not quite right. Goofy. Ridiculous. Worthy of light smacks to stop him quipping seemingly insensitive things. See, In the 1980s and 90s, the very concept of ADHD was very narrow but Michelangelo was popular with outsider underdogs for reasons we couldn't quite identify, because we didn't have the words we have now. We didn't have those labels to give ourselves, not until we were decades older, scared confused adults with cptsd who weren't sure of much beyond how our favorite quirky character comforted us. And like him, we knew we were holding back. We had to. We had to protect our oddness.

In 2003 especially, it was said that Mikey has the most natural talent, a raw potential greater than his brothers combined. Apparently, according to his bio, the Ancient One had said Michelangelo was the one with the Brightest Fire. I don't remember that in the show but I believe it. I may complain about the writing of his character in 2003 but I'm grateful that it opened up so much discourse in the fandom.

2003 Mikey was written with a burden of comic relief, goofy humor, nearly intense levels of being teased, and rare moments of insight and power specifically so other characters could marvel at how the apparently brainless doofus could pull such tricks off while acting like a class clown. The episodes and dialogue proved that the family was well aware that Michelangelo was deliberately masking his clever, intuitive, interpersonal emotional intelligence by being a loudmouth egoistic ham, to help distract from the darkness of their lives. They knew he was better, and it was what drove the Battle Nexus tournament, the grudge match, the graduation day. However, at the time when I was a naive 20 something who barely knew what neurodivergence was, literally all I could focus on was Mikey being teased, pushed around, smacked, mocked given terrible jokes. As an only child, a disabled child who was adored and sheltered by my family, I didn't know that those head smacks were exaggerated love taps that Mikey overreacted to. I got snarling snarky defensive. When 2012 aired and it was the same bunch of tropes, with Mikey having the term Buttmonkey ascribed to him, I found more social media and other fans who thought like me and I felt validation. The 2014 movie happened, and Mikey became a silly, hammy, class clown embodiment of flooding teenage dude hormones. It was kind of cringey despite his being written as the beloved little brother who could hold his own, deflect tranquilizer darts with a laugh, be silly and sweet without his brothers yelling at him. 2016 just continued that lovely trend and his overeager arrogant bluntness was seen as adorable. Well, there was also the 2007 film but he was not very multidimensional and he embodied a lot of annoying stereotypes. I'm still upset that the sequels were never made, because he would have been front and center and badass. But then 2018 came along and mixed Mirage with IDW to bring us a Mikey we needed. And as for IDW itself, begun in 2011, it was kind of brushed aside for 2012 until more fans begin to realize how beautifully Mikey was being written. This macro issue is like a culmination.

I went off on a tangent, sorry. My whole point is that Michelangelo has completed a circuit and I'm super proud of my lifelong imaginary friend coping mechanism who is someone else's intellectual property but who has been completely molded and shaped by fandom like no other.

Becoming Human part 2

Authors Note: HEY GUYS! I know ive been gone a while, college has been hell, ive actually been working on my next several postings since August, bit by bit as inspiration hits. it may not be written the best, just give me a chance to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for reading -Jazz

“Hey Alex, yeah its Elasia. Yeah i need a little help if you're up to it? Yeah i finished a masking serum for the guys and we’re going out tonight. Even if it's just for Mikey i could use another chaperone. I can pay your way, i just need help making sure they don't get into any massive trouble. You can? Great, meet us at the lair in 10 minutes. Yeah you can bring your camera. Awesome see you then.”

“Boom!! Who’s ready to PAR-TAY!!”

To say Mikey looked interesting was an understatement, he was wearing orange striped basketball shorts, and a too big t-shirt that looked like a crazy bowling alley carpet. Finally his reddish blonde curls were pulled into a faux hawk and decorated with rainbow shutter shades.

“I personally don't think we’re ready for this, what happens if there's an attack on the city while we’re like this and we can't fight?”

“Well at least this could prove an adequate test of balance and focus under extreme motion.”

“And you look totally awesome Bro!”

Fitted dark blue jeans and a dusty grey and blue plaid shirt cuffed at the elbows gave leo a classy East meets West look when paired with his high ponytail and thin pencil bangs. All he needed was a nice belt buckle and some boots, but some sneakers borrowed from Raph’s collection would do.

Don had gone simple, his usual cargo pants tied with some cordage from the lab, fitted black tee, (where and why he had a shirt that small I don't know it didn't come from my stash of my brother’s clothes) and his usual seashell necklace.

“Now where’d Raph go?”

CRASH CLANG CHSSSSSSHHHH TUNK THUNK THOMP.

“Dude! You better not have messed up those heads! You know how long it takes to scrap a fully functioning drum kit??? And don't even get me started if you scratched my sick paint job!”

“Get off my back Mikey! I was tryin to do a back-flip off the landing and mis-judged the strength it would take to get over there. These tiny muscles won't work right.”

“You're human Raph, that means your muscles will only work at human capacity. You're still pretty damn strong but don't go trying to throw any shipping containers or jumping off high rises any time soon.”

“Yeah figured that one out already, now come get me out of this thing will ya?”

“Man not my Base!!! I almost had that tuned perfectly bro!!!”

Raph was stuck legs first into the bass drum from the front, apparently having slid into Mikey’s drum set. The New York skyline painted on the decorative head ruined, much to Mikey's horror.

“I spent a week painting that!!”

“Sorry Mike, I'll help you find a new one.”

“Knock Knock! Is anyone here?”

Mikey’s eyes went as wide as saucers as his precious drum set was forgotten and he took off toward his room for me to snag his collar.

“Oh no you aren't going anywhere.”

“Let go i can't let Alex see me like this!”

“Mikey they’re a shifter, i doubt they care what you look like.”

“Doubt i care what who looks like? This adorable redhead you’ve got hanging by his collar?”

“Alleycat!! Don't look...wait, adorable?”

Gosh the blush on their cheeks was so cute.

“Yeah. can I?”

That camera never left their neck and they  were quick to get a shot before Mikey had the chance to start hamming it up.

“Too late, gotcha. Want to see Mickey?

“Come on let's give the lovebirds a minute, letem get all the sickly sweet outta their systems.”

The sound of the whining Polaroid and giggles faded to Leo and Don’s nervous chattering as Leo tried to talk Don out of this.

“Seriously D, we can't be this reckless already, i mean an amusement park? That many adrenaline fueled people in a close packed environment is just asking for trouble. We don't even know if this potion is even stable, what happens if we revert mid ride and can't escape, or if it causes a technical issue and people get hurt?”

“Leo you forget the world of mythics is a lot larger than what you're used to, there are safeguards and protocols in place in case of a critical failure. If the masking serum fails there’s a 20 minute window before the mist gives way and humans actually notice the change. That’d be more than enough time to escape. And if by some miraculous circumstance we can't manage escape there are teams that can be dispatched to tamper with the social consciousness to erase our presence to no more than urban legend. We’ll be fine, live a little.”

“Plus we will be in an entirely different state thanks to the port stones so there’s even less possibility that anything could happen if we were seen. If my calculations are correct that leaves a 10% chance of serum failure and a 0.001% chance of catastrophic circumstance, given i fully understand all the variables at play.”

Raph grabbed his elder brother’s shoulder and looked him straight in the eye, the only parts of them that were physically unchanged. He still towered over the elder, but the gap between the two had closed significantly under human restriction.

“We’ve wanted this our whole lives Leo, Don't go letting Mominardo go and fuck it up. We’re human for a night, i don't really feel like wasting that opportunity.”

…

“Welcome Back to The Midwest Boys!! The home of the most unobservant humans in America, and the central hub of mystic life. Next stop Worlds of Fun!!”

Mikey and Raph were hooping and hollering from the bed of the truck as it sped down the highway toward the tops of the roller-coasters in the distance. Hell even Leo looked like he was enjoying the feeling of the wind in his new hair as he almost stuck his head out the back passenger window, bobbing along with Donnie's techno music over the speakers. When the old dodge settled to a stop in the parking lot it was like an explosion as the four burst from the truck, taking off for the front gate with the excitement of children. People were giving them odd looks, brushed off moments later as the antics of young men.

“Guys...GUYS!! LEO, RAPH, DONNIE, MIKE! GET YOUR SCALY ASSES BACK HERE!”

Leo was the first to freeze, Don and Raph tripping over him to land flat on their faces as Mikey vaulted deftly over the pile.

“Michael…”

Oh that did it, Alex's voice was ice and it stopped Mikey in his tracks, peeking over his shoulder with a meek grin as he gave us time to catch up.

“I know you're excited, but part of appearing human is acting correctly, while running and jumping is more accepted at an amusement park you have to be courteous to the other patrons. No running or flipping over people, and no climbing any of the trees or structures unless you want to get us kicked out…”

“Now tell mom you're sorry…”

I gave Alex a dirty look, but I couldn't hold it, the 6 of us bursting into a fit of laughter. Mikey threw his arm over Alex's shoulder, playing with her matching ruddy blonde hair, and Raph grabbed my hand to pull me toward the ticket booth.

“Go on lead the way ma.”

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!!!

Well great, what now.

The security guards were waving their wand metal detectors over Leo when they started going off near his belt. Reaching in to the waistband of his jeans out came a stack of three shuriken.

“You can't bring weapons into the park son…”

When they tried to take the intricately designed weapons Leo went to reach for where his katana would usually be on his shell. Luckily Don was close enough to stop him before he got too far.

“Sorry officer, we'll take them back to the truck. Hey E, get our tickets for us k?”

He knocked Leo upside the head as they turned back for the parking lot.

“What the SHELL is wrong with you?”

While i was buying the tickets i noticed Leo and Donnie re-approaching the gate, only to get a full pat-down before they were allowed to enter, oh i love my idiots, i love my idiots…. Now people were staring…

“Lets get out of here, COME ON GUYS!”

Raph knocked leo upside the head as well when they re-joined the group, grabbing him by the hair as a low grumble rolled through his chest, both their eyes widening.

“The hell…”

“We can't churr Raph, we no longer have the equipment to create or interpret such subsonic sounds.”

“Yeah i figured that out Don, just stop being a dumb-ass Leo. Bringin weapons to a park, what the hell were you thinking?”

Leo just shouldered his way past, nose in the air.

“I don't have to explain myself to you.”

Raph moved to start a fight but i grabbed his shoulder, pulling him down to whisper in his ear.

“He's just feeling a little exposed, too many people, a strange place, you guys don't even have the protection of your shells, cut him a break.”

“COME ON, I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AMUSEMENT PARK!! LETS GO!”

Mikey took off running, jumping into a flip to snag Leo by the shoulders like he had hundreds of time before, flinging him into a flip, only to land on his ass, mikey bouncing along on his rump a few meters ahead.

“I think your center of balance is a little off Mike!”

That got the big blue grump laughing again, thanks Mikey.

Alex ran past laughing, snagging Mikey by the collar.

“Come on Mickey! Lets try the Fjord Fjarlane!! I call outer seat!!!”

Alex drug Mikey to his feet, towing the poor boy toward the first ride still limping from his less than stellar landing, Raph and Donnie taking off soon after leaving me behind with Leo.

“Hey i told Red to back off, i get that your feeling off, but it'll be fine.”

“How do you know.”

“Because i do, now you just have to trust me, do we have a deal Brother?”

I held out my hand with the spirit spiral mark on it and after a second of deliberation he met my gesture with his own.

“Come on let's go have some fun, Sis.”

By the time we had ridden the Fjord Fjarlane, the  Finnish Fling, The Scandi Scrambler, and the Viking voyager spirits were high again. Even Leo was smiling like a goof and we still had 4 sections of the park left to get through, it was going to be a good night and we were all buzzing with excitement.

“Hey hot-stuff, wanna go find a nice dark corner with me?”

The feeling of a hand gripping my hind end had me spinning, grabbing some greasy asshole’s wrist and twisting it until he was buckling under the strain before the guys could even react.

“There anything wrong babe?”

At the sight of Raphs towering form glaring down at him from over my shoulder the creep paled. Jerking to get out of my grip on his arm as i squeezed just enough to threaten breaking it.

“No i think i've got this Raphie Bear, go have fun with your brothers… I’ll take care of the trash.”

When i looked back down at the guy my eyes were golden, fangs bared, and crest raised. “You touch any woman against her will again and you'll be seeing me, and i promise they won’t find you.”

I threw him down on the ground, watching as he scrambled away backwards, knocking over a couple little kids before taking off. God damn doing that felt good.  

DING DING DING DING DING….!

When i made it back to the guys Mikey was sinking basket after basket on one of those trick carnival games. his enhanced strength and aim, though lesser in this form, were plenty to crush the hopes of the carnie running the booth’s hopes for a quick buck. Destroying the high score soon Mikey was holding a giant sea turtle plushie, using it as a puppet to tease Alex. I felt Raph’s hand on my lower back, his extra fingers held together to make it feel more like his natural form’s hands. Probably so i wouldn't freak out and break his wrist.

“Pick a prize Tweeter.”

“Raph you don't have to do that….”

“How many days can i win my girl a carnival prize without being carted off to a freak show? Now pick something E.”

I scanned over the disgustingly pastel prizes until my eyes landed on the perfect little stuffie. It was a black dragon made of faux leather with a fluffy red belly and gold wing membranes, horns, and spikes.

“That one, in the dart booth. The Dragon.” “That tiny thing, come on, give me a challenge girl.”

“You told me to pick Red.”

“Fine, let me show you how it's done.”

Handing over a dollar bill the carnie passed over 3 red darts.

“Pop three gold balloons for the dragon.”

Raph’s face scrunched up as he searched for the targets the carnie indicated.

“What’s the ploy here, those balloons are barely inflated at all! The dragon is one of the smallest prizes here, you trying to cheat me carnie?”

“You wanted a challenge big guy.”

He just gave the carnie a dirty look, weighing the dart in his hand before pinching the tip between his first two fingers, the other two tucked tightly to his palm as he stared down his target.

“Damn darts aren't even sharp.”

I ran my hands over his free arm, focusing on the balloons almost as hard as Raph was.

THUNK

One gold balloon started lazily dripping paint down the board. The carnie gave Raph a look at utter disbelief, only to be met with a smirk as Raph readied one dart in each hand.

THUNK, THUNK!

Three spots of gold paint stained the board where balloons had once hung and Raph was preening, head and shoulders thrown back, chest puffed out as he pulled me tight to his side.

“I think you owe my girl here a stuffed dragon.”

...

“I'm going to name him Lucius. He’s so cute!!”

The tiny stuffed dragon was barely 4 inches tall, just big enough to tuck in a pocket, but the stitch work on him was absolutely exquisite, gold embroidery outlining glittering scales along the tiny little body.

“Glad you like him babe.”

I was a lot more ecstatic than i thought i would be, jumping up to throw my arms around Raph’s neck and making lots of happy chirping noises as he supported my weight in his arms and pressed his forehead to my own. Our laughter mixed in a bubbly fountain mixed with chirps and low growling pseudo-churrs as he spun me around in his arms before i let go and just let myself hang upside down limply from his grip.

“Ok i'm dead, you killed me with cute fluffy romantic crud. You've gone and done it, speak of my greatness in my eulogy….”

“Get a room you two.”

Raph flipped Leo off, a self satisfied smirk at actually being able to do so pulling at his lips as i popped back upright. I stuck my own tongue out at Leo before grabbing Raph’s slightly stubbled jaw and pulling him in for a kiss. It was different but it was still completely Raphael, teeth scraping at my bottom lip before i pulled back, only for him to follow until i put a hand against his throat.

“We’re still in public babe, later i promise.”

He rolled his eyes as he let me back down, another low growl rumbling through him as he whispered in my ear.

“Fine, but don't expect me to play nice.”

His hand traveled down my back to cup my rear as we moved to catch up with the guys as they ran off toward the fury of the Nile. he started chuckling when i removed it, slipping it back a few times before i swatted him.

“Behave.”

“Make me.”

Raph, Mikey, Alex, and I squeezed together in one boat as Donnie and leo hopped in the next one only to be joined by two college girls in swimsuits cut off from their own parties. I couldn't help but grin like a proud mother as the two fumbled through trying to talk to the two bombshell beauties that had been practically dropped in their laps. It wasn't long though before i heard laughter coming from the boat behind us as we were shoved off down the artificial white water rapids.  I quickly forgot about that however as we crashed into the first bouncer and a wave of green dyed water sloshed over us and into the boat.

“EEEEEEEEE! Oh god it smells!” Mikey couldn't help but laugh, throwing an arm around Alex.

“Smells better than the waterslides back home, you don't seem to mind those babe.”

Another wave crashed over the boat, this time on Mikey’s side, plastering his poofy curls to his face and washing those god awful shutter shades into the river. The shape of the wave however… a nearly transparent water dragon leapt over the edge of the boat and slipped back below the surface. Back in the boat behind us Mizu was perched on leo’s forearm like a hawk, the two girls in the boat sporting glittering fey’s wings barely visible in the shadowy tunnel. Mikey screwed up his face and a gust of wind blew over his form before cutting a deep trough in the surface of the water, shaking the boat and making Leo fall back into the blue fairy’s lap. My eyes went gold and i could see both elemental beasts play fighting at the surface of the water. A raven’s caw stilled them both, sending them back to their masters before we exited the tunnel.

“Good going bonehead.”

A spark of flame jumped from Raph’s fingertips to bite at Mikey’s face before being extinguished in a puff of air.

“What about incognito don't you understand?”

“Have a little fun babe, no one saw us.”

I tugged on Raph’s soul and made him slap himself in the face.

“You're right, this is fun.”

“Point made, now stop that shit, its creepy.”

“Yeah, and? I'm creepy.”

“And that’s why we love you jazzy cakes.”

By sundown we had ridden every ride at the park at least 3 times. Mikey’s favorite was the Patriot roller coaster, Leo loved the detonator, and Donnie rode the cyclone sam an extra 5 times on his own after the rest of us couldn't handle it anymore.

“What did you say your favorite ride was Red?”

The lights had come on in the park with the setting sun, illuminating the one ride we hadn't tried yet, a tall spire that took swinging seats up to its top for a scenic view of the west Missouri countryside and nearby Kansas City. The pulsing lights flickered in his eyes as he watched the pairs of seats spin lazily 300 feet above our heads.

“I didn't say Tweeter. But how about we try that one out.”

Mikey had just shown up at the bench with armloads of food so Raph was able to drag me off without the others noticing. He hadn't seemed this excited all day and i couldn't help but wonder exactly what was going on in that head of his as he hoisted me up into one of the swinging seats of the steel hawk. The ride wasn't one of the most exciting yet his hand was practically vibrating as we slowly rose up into the air.

“Hey Elasia?”

“Yeah Raph?”

He turned in his seat to face me, scanning over the burning horizon as the moon peeked up over the lights of the distant city.

“Remember that dream you told me about?”

“Huh? You mean the one where peeps were taking over the world?”

He looked at me like i was the greatest treasure in the world and i found myself unable to look away as he spoke.

“No, the other one. With the raven and the phoenix doing the hawk thing you told me about.”

Before i could bring the specific dream to mind he leaned across the gap between our seats, fire burning in his eyes as he kissed me. I could see it now, two birds, talons clasped as they spun, falling from high in the air. I barely felt something stir between us before i was overtaken by the melding of our souls suspended 300 ft in the air. Fire licked across my skin, biting crackling heat that dared not burn, as molten gold peeled back the haze of mist hiding my beloved from me. God why couldn't i get any closer, i needed to get closer, to find more of this delicious adrenaline fueled heat, to have more of him.

We were jarred out of it by the jolt of the ride locking in at ground level, eyes opening in a drugged haze.

“Um Red?”

Three fingers carded through my hair before freezing in shock. Yeah we should run. “LEO CODE GREEN, CODE GREEN, MOVE MOVE MOVE!”

Who knew how long we had until the last of the mist wore off, the guys already looked like turtles to me again, luckily no one else was noticing the four giant mutants as they tore through the park toward the gates. I couldn't help but think we got back to the truck just in time, heart thundering with a new type of adrenaline as i put the pedal to the floor and we sped back to the portstone to NYC.

“WHOOOOO THAT WAS SICK!!! We gotta do that again E, tell me we’re doing that again.”

“Sure Mikey, at least we know how long the masking serum lasts now.”

“It does feel good to be a turtle again.’

“It's strange that the reverse transformation didn't hurt as badly as the initial one, just a few muscle aches.”

“That’s because its easier for structures to retain their native form than to be molded into a new one Don. Don't worry though, the transformation into human form gets easier with practice.”

It did feel good to have my boys back to normal, Mikey and Alex took off down the tunnel to do god knows what, and Leo drug Donnie off to the dojo.

“Come on Donnie, lets spar, i need to feel like myself again.”

“Sounds like a good idea Leo. You guys coming?”

It was hard to keep a straight face when i felt a familiar three-fingered hand weave through the bases of my wings along my spine, i could practically feel the evil little smirk on Raph’s face.

“N-no Donnie, We’ll catch up later.”

They both gave Raph a strange look before disappearing toward the dojo. As soon as they were gone however i turned on the red clad brute, eyes narrowing in scorn as i grabbed his mask tails to yank him down to my level.

“You are in so much trouble mister.”

“What are you going to do about it.”

By god i loved the feeling of his fire along my skin.
