Tumblr media
- eyes would widen a fraction, and if you weren't paying attention you probably wouldn't notice.
- at the feeling of your hands on his belt, he would raise an eye ridge.
- his jaw would clench, and again, if you weren't watching him closely you wouldn't notice.
- hands would slide to your waist. grip would tighten a little at the feeling of your breath fanning his face.
- his cheeks would warm at the close proximity, his gaze would study you.
- so intense it made your skin prick in delight.
- he'd pull you closer at the feeling of your lips against his own.
- and once you'd both pull away he'd send you the most breathtaking smile. the type that literally takes your breath away and make your heart clench.
- leo would lean closer to you, so close you could feel his breath against your ear. "that was a very bold move, y/n.." he would murmur, his voice low, husky, and laced in a teasing tone.
- his voice alone would bring you pleasure, giving you goosebumps and causing a shiver to snake up your spine.
- your cheeks would dust in a soft rosey glow, but you'd force a smirk on your delicate lips.
- "exactly why i did it, leonardo." you'd all but purr. grabbing his bandana tails and twirling them around a finger with a coy smile that had his heart stuttering and thoughts to falter for a moment.
- leo loved hearing you say his name like that.
- he'd bite his lip subcontiously and study you with those intense blue eyes of his.
- "and what spurred on this bold move?"
- leaning closer to him, brushing your lips against his once more-
- "i was hoping you'd pull an even bolder one~"
- if you were in a secluded area, and especially if no one was around, he'd take you right then and there.
- if you were more in public, he'd find the most hidden place he could and mark every inch of you as his. ;)
- either way you're covered with love bites.
- leo wants you all to himself, and he'd be deliberate with his markings. putting them in places where they wouldn't be seen by the naked eye normally. that way, you two are the only ones aware of their existence.
- and when you guys were with company again, he'd brush his hand over the spots, despite not being able to see them, he'd know exactly where they were. he would apply a bit of pressure, to make it known to you, and only you, that he was very aware of this,
- leo likes to watch you squirm.
- and he makes you squirm as often as he can.

Fragile
Heyooo I’m writing this to get over my writing block for my book. All angst and comfort here 🤗
Generation: Bayverse TMNT
Tmnt x Reader Fanfic
Pronouns: Gender Neutral (except ‘dudette’)
Warnings: fighting, blood, injury, panic attack, hyperventilating, not proof read
Summary: You are a runaway experiment from Stockman’s lab. An unexpected group of mutants come to your rescue. How did they know how to find you?
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
You were freezing and exhausted.
The city was quiet as the darkness ebbed closer to early morning hours. You had been running for hours now, somehow they always found your hiding spot. You whipped around a corner into another countless dark alley way.
A flinch and a small yelp of pain left you as your bare feet tread across broken glass. You risk a break and press your back into the cold brick of an apartment building as you take a moment to catch your breath. Daintily you lift your foot and pull out a sharp piece of broken glass, tossing away the piece and check the other foot.
Suddenly the screech of tires catches your attention and the adrenaline hits you again like a crashing wave. You’re running again before you can even think. You exit the alley and dart out into the street. A black van rounds the corner behind you and you sprint for the narrow opening between two apartment buildings. You practically slam into the concrete, bumping your shoulder and scraping your knee as you squeeze your tiny body past a build up of trash. The car pulls up by the opening and the door is thrown open as two men in black suits jump out and reach for you, but you scoot further down and make for the other side. They curse and order the driver to pull around the other side and cut you off as they try to fit through the opening behind you. But you’re faster. You stumble out onto the side walk and fall to your knees, panting hard, and scramble to your feet. The black van again comes into your peripheral vision but you’re already booking it down the street as fast as you can. They can’t catch you again, they just can’t. Not again.
The black van zooms past you and the tires squeal as they pull the car in front of you, blocking your path. You hear the footsteps of the other two men behind you and you quickly find an alley to your right, avoiding hands that reach for you.
In the icy chilled night air, you are sweating through the thin white smock. A dead end.
“No…. No no no no they can’t- ….” You frantically look around at the corners where brick and grey cement buildings meet, discarded trash piled up but nowhere to hide. You find a glass beer bottle and smash the bottom of it. The raggedy sound of your desperate gasps for breath fill the space, your back pressed hard into the slimy brick wall. Heartbeat pounding in your ears.
Polished leather shoes click as the group of men slowly approached you, spread out like they were ready to catch a frightened animal.
“Finally.” A man in a white lab coat stepped into the alley behind the men in suits. “You stay right there. Before we go back, we are going to have a nice long “talk” about your behavior….”
Several of the men reached to their belts for a wand that extended into a short metal rod with electricity sparking at the tips, and another man walked over to a pile of trash and pulled out the broken leg of a wooden table.
The man chuckled, watching your eyes widen with fear as you trembled in your defensive position. He pulled a notepad out of his jacket pocket and clicked a pen.
“I will be observing if this event triggers a desired response. You may begin.” The armed men all suddenly lunged forward.
“Finally.”
A large flash of green and red suddenly descended from above and landed right on top of the man closest to you, making you flinch with fright.
A whoop sounded from above and everyone stopped to look up as another large being flipped in the air and landed in front of you in a showy flourish of waving nunchucks.
“Step away from the babe!” The orange clad being said heroically, looking over his shoulder to throw you a wink.
Your eyes were wide as your whole body tensed, frozen in place. His face almost didn’t look…. human.
Like Bebop and Rocksteady.
Another thud brought your attention to a large blue clad being that landed next to the red one.
“Raph, I said to wait until I gave the order!” He whisper yelled. Making the red one, Raph, grunt and step off the man he was standing on.
“Seemed to me that Stockman already gave the order. You think I was just gonna sit by and watch?”
The men in suits had started surrounding the red and blue mutants, while the orange protectively stood in front of you spinning his nunchucks.
You lowered the broken bottle in your hands marginally, sensing that the new arrivals didn’t have intention to harm you. When suddenly a fourth one in a purple mask landed right next to you, making you jump with surprise, the bottle flying from your hand and shattering nearby.
“My data indicates that this is indeed the supposed experiment that escaped from the Foot Clan’s secret laboratory approximately 4 hours ago.” He spoke calmly while you tried to catch your breath, panic rising again in your throat as your back slid down the wall until you were sat on the ground.
“Yeah, we gathered that, brainiac.” Raph gruffly sassed.
“The chip we’ve been tracking is still active. Leo?” Said the supposed brainiac.
“Shut it down Donnie, we’ll take care of this.” Ordered Leo, as he turned and faced Stockman.
“Right.” Donnie knelt next to you and suddenly looked nervous. He gave you a very awkward smile before continuing.
“Sorry, I just need to see your arm for a minute. Can I touch you?” He asked calmly.
It was clear that you were trying very hard to suppress a panic attack. Adrenaline still pumped through your veins and you were scared half to death. But this mutant was the first being in over a year to ask your permission before doing anything to you. So you swallowed your fear and gave a trembling nod.
The purple mutant, Donnie, looked at you seriously for a moment before returning your nod. “Okay, I’m going to touch you now…” he said as he gently took your arm.
You still flinched on instinct, and took in a sharp inhale of breath, trying to steady your nerves.
Donnie muttered a quick apology. One of the men in suits was suddenly thrown into the wall near you, startling you almost out of your skin. Making you practically leap into Donnie’s arms.
“Hey, watch it Mikey!” He shouted to the orange banded mutant.
“Whoops, sorry dudette!” Mikey paused his fight to wave over at you apologetically.
You found yourself half in the embrace of Donnie, who looked down at you and giggled nervously. You instinctively flinched out of his embrace, but remained near. You didn’t want to get any closer to the unconscious man in the suit.
“Sorry… let’s try that again. Can I… touch your arm? I need to find the chip.” He gently took your arm after you gave a quick nod and he felt around your upper arm for a little bump. You squirmed a little when he found it.
“There! Okay. I’m really sorry but I need to take it out of you. This might sting a little-“ before you could process what he said you felt a sharp pinch in your arm. You panicked. Your head shot up and you started to hyperventilate. You tried to find something to focus on like you did in the lab, and watched as the orange, blue, and red mutants chased Stockman back to his van. The coward leaving behind his unconscious men and shouting at them that he wasn’t going to give up on finding you. The three mutants, you distantly observed from their backs, looked almost like turtles.
The pinching in your arm stopped, but your breathing wasn’t slowing down. You felt a three fingered hand on your shoulder begin to shake you, the other turtle mutants turning around and looking back at you with surprise as Stockman drove off. Your vision got hazy. The world seemed to slow down as you watched the three turtle men run towards you with expressions of worry on their faces. The fourth one was shouting something to them from beside you as he placed his hand over your diaphragm to steady you. His face came into your vision, expression serious as you tried to make out the words he was speaking. ‘Breath… just breath…’ you could make out from the shape of his lips.
That was the last thing you saw before darkness overtook you, and you passed out.
Part 2 :]

Mikey: *Just chilling on the couch eating classic NYC pizza.*
Y/N: *Walks in with a solenm look.* Mikey, we need to talk. There is something I need to confess…
Mikey: *Thinking they are about to break-up.* What is it, babe?
Y/N: I-… I don’t like New York style pizza! I like thin crust!
Mikey: This is… even worse then I expected! How could you do this to us! I loved you, but I can’t accept this abomination!
Y/N: Oh, so you care about the crust style but now what you put ON the pizza? You put mayonnaise and marshmallows on your pizza! If anything, that’s the abomination!
Mikey: *gasp*!

Horrortober Day 3- Run(Yandere Rise Donnie x Reader)
A/N, not important: this idea was from my friend @rex-ray! They're wonderful and I adore them. ALSO! Donnie is OOC in this. I say this because his mannerisms are purposefully dramatized and unstable. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
-Ollie
Tw: Breaking bones, Donnie being OOC, shock collar, yandere themes, dark themes
Words: 1862
Summary: Donnie gets bored and wants you to run.
You kick the door of what Donatello called the ‘misbehavior room’, anger and frustration bubbling up in your chest. It wasn’t fair. You had barely talked back and he stuck you in here again without so much as a warning. You walk back to the small bed he provided, falling onto it with a groan. The mattress wheezed under your wait, sinking down and molding around your body. Your eyes meet the ceiling, a blank stare marking your face. Nothing about this was fair. You just wanted to go home, to be free of the purple terrapin once and for all.
It had been almost an hour since he first put you in here. Or, you assumed it had been at least an hour. Maybe it had been no more than ten minutes, or maybe a full day had passed. You had no way of telling, the room stripped of anything that might help you. Your cheeks puff out as you try and think of a way to escape, your eyes burning from the bright light on the ceiling. It annoyed you to no end, the light never turned and made it harder to just sleep the punishment away.
The room was warm, warmer than his lab. It was just shy of uncomfortable, but not enough to cause you harm. It was just supposed to be a room you hated to be in, and Donatello had manufactured that perfectly. It was a shame you kept ending up in it.
The sound of a lock clicking out of place catches your attention, your eyes drifting to the door. You sit up as the mechanical door slides open and reveals the lab just outside, cool air rushing in and chasing the heat away. Donatello stood in the doorway, his eyes uncommunicative to any thoughts or feelings he had. You lay back down on the slightly uncomfortable mattress, having no desire to converse with your purple banded kidnapper.
“Someone’s grumpy.” He mutters, taking a step into the room. You don’t fail to notice him leaving the door wide open. He moves farther into the room and comes to a stop by your side, his eyes following yours towards the door. He looks down at you, his face still carefully neutral and not giving anything away. He stays silent for a moment, eyes flicking back and forth between your own and the door. He exhales slowly, the careful mask slipping for a moment and giving way to the rage just below the surface.
“Run.”
You blank, sitting up fully and glancing towards the door. “Excuse me?”
“I said, run. You’ve wanted to escape since I brought you here, have you not? Well, the doors wide open. Run.”
You stare at Donnie in slight confusion, but get up either way and start to hesitantly head towards the door, not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth. This was not an opportunity you were going to waste, no matter how strange it be. 
“By the way,” Donnie starts in a low tone right as you reach the door. You pause for a moment, letting him know you were listening. “Despite what you may be thinking, this is not a free leave. I will be chasing. You have a three minute head start. For your sake, I hope I don’t catch you.”
You don’t hesitate any longer, bolting through the lab and into the hall, taking a sharp turn towards the maze of sewers. Your socked feet pad against the ground, the cloth muffling your steps as you run. The lair fades behind you, adrenaline flowing through you and pushing you to run faster. Farther. You didn’t want to find out just what Donnie had planned if he caught you. You highly doubted it would be something as simple as another couple hours in isolation.
Your foot hits water and you gag, stumbling slightly before righting yourself and continuing on. You couldn’t afford to trip, not with Donatello right behind you. You briefly contemplate the terms of the chase. Was there a time limit before you ‘won’? Or a distance you needed to reach? A small, horrible feeling settles deep in you, infecting every part of your person as you realize there may not be a way to win. You shake your head, pushing the thought away. No, no there must be a way for you to win. There has to be. You just need to make it to the surface, that was a reasonable place to get to. You try your best to ignore how Donatello was never reasonable when it came to you.
You take a sharp left through the sewers, the ground slick and unforgiving. You refused to take a break, not wanting to slow down for even a second. This may be the only shot at freedom you ever get. Your lungs burn from the run, your legs cramping. Donatello, while expressing trying to maintain your health, never let you run like this. Treadmills could only simulate so much.
You duck into a tunnel, trying to catch your breath for a slight second. Your brain is screaming at you, telling you to run and run and never stop, but your body refuses. You had been sitting for less than a minute, and you could already hear the quiet hum of Donatello’s approaching battle-shell. You duck farther in, hoping more than anything the shadows would conceal you enough.
You focus your ears, trying to pinpoint the hum of the tech that was moving ever closer, your eyes darting around in an attempt to see where he was coming from. Your brain barely registers the arms that loop around your waist and tug you into the sharp plastron of the mutant softshell, a scream being ripped from your lips before you even have time to process it.
“Shhhh,” He murmurs against your ear, his chin resting against your shoulder. “It was a good run, baby. You did so well.”
Your lower lip trembles as he picks you up, holding you firmly in his arms even as you start to thrash and struggle. He brings you out of the tunnel the way he came in, the wide mouth opening up to show a manhole cover and a ladder to the surface, just barely twenty feet from where you hid.
The realization of how close you were to escaping, how close you were to your freedom, hits you like a truck. You go quiet in Donatello’s arms, your eyes watering as you start to sob. He simply grins smugly as he walks you back to the lair, seeing the excursion as nothing more than a game. Well, to him, it was a game. Setting you off with high hopes and being able to chase you down was exhilarating for him, a high to chase off the frustration you had caused. He smiles down at you. It was too bad you still needed to be punished for the excursion, he couldn’t let you get away with running after all. There were still rules to follow.
He brings you back to the lab, his dark eyes lighter than they had been in weeks. He kisses your forehead, setting you down on a table in his lab. He cups your cheeks, looking down at you softly. “I told you you shouldn’t have let me catch you.”
You look up at him, fear and confusion laced in your eyes. “You told me to run…”
Your protests mean nothing to him, a small smile fixed on his face as he rolls his shoulders, looking more relaxed than he had in weeks. “I did. And you really did so well, I must admit. However,” His smile turns more sinister as his eyes darken once more. “I did warn you not to let me catch you. You could’ve stayed back, but you took the chance. I’m not letting you off scot free for that.”
Your heart drops and your sobs grow, Donnie racing under the table he had you on to grab a familiar collar. It was purple and sleek, a much more refined version than the one he had given his older brother all those years ago. Your eyes widen, knowing exactly what the object was and the pain it brought, your panic rising significantly as you try to jump off the table. Donnie wraps his arms around you, keeping you still. He glares down at you, not impressed with your attempt to avoid the collar. He grabs your chin and holds you firmly, his eyes meeting yours and all earlier peasantry gone.
“Don’t fight me.” He snaps, giving your jaw a harsh squeeze. He drops your chin and brings the collar around your neck, pressing a button and watching in satisfaction as it shrinks until it is skin tight. His eyes trail over you for a moment, his eyes landing on your legs before snapping back to your face. You shift uncomfortably, but don’t dare speak or move lest he decide to activate the collar.
He takes a double hook with no chain in between, snapping one end to your collar and shoving your head down before snapping the other to a sunken rod in the table. You grimace, trying to pull your head up, your hands clawing at the hooks in an attempt to get them undone. A small beep sounds and you freeze instinctively before your nerves shout out, every inch of your skin feeling as if it had been lit on fire. Your hands clench and your muscles spasm, making it hard for you to even move. The shock ends, your breathing heavy as you try to relax the muscles in your body. Donnie had upped the charge.
You shakily put your hands down on the table, residual spams coursing through your limbs. You don’t even notice the needle Donnie had produced until it was in your hip, the sting from the injection bringing you back to your senses. You look at the needle in confusion and slight fear, your vision hazy.
“What was that?” You ask, your speech slurring as you feel your body grow heavier and sink on the table. Donnie glances up, and you barely recognize him. You may hate him, but there was something beneath his eyes you just couldn’t place. Something terrifying just below the surface.
“Hush.” He says, checking your reflexes and looking satisfied when they’re much slower then normal. Your body feels heavy, as if a small weight had been placed on each section. He walks down the table until his hand rests on your left leg, his eyes cloudy with anger.
“You know,” He drawls, picking up your leg and lightly squeezing the calf. Your breath hitches as your eyes water. He couldn’t. Gosh, you hoped he wouldn’t. A scream is stuck in your throat, your lips unable to part to let it loose. “This really is your fault. I was going to settle for the collar, but after you threw such a fit over it, I can see you really haven’t learned a thing. Your actions have consequences, and it’s time you learn.”
The first bone snaps and you sob.

The cold is made for cuddles! - Reader x Rise!Leonardo
GN
Pairings: Leonardo/Reader
Characters included: Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo, April
Warnings: n/a
Series: No
Summary: Leo knew that Y/N hated being touched, what he didn’t realize was that this was only a thing during the summer since the heat and sweat was just gross to them. So when they admitted that they did enjoy cuddles during the winter season, the freezing Leo had to test that assumption.
Word count: 4913
Authors Note: It’s a bit shorter than I would have liked but honestly I had fun writing the banter between Y/N and Leo haha
Request: I just tread your Rise!Leo x reader birthday fic and OH MY GOD 😚👌 beautiful. Your writing so edible (that is a compliment)
I have a request!
Rise!Leo (cuz you write him so well) x gn!reader who has recently moved to New York from somewhere south, where it gets especially icky from heat, like Arizona. Reader is somewhat touch-starved because they often overheat, but their favorite season is autumn/winter because it's cooler out.
So at some point Leo complains about it being too cold in the lair or how winter's coming, and reader enthusiastically says, "yea, that's the best time of the year!" When Leo questions then about it, they say it's the best time for cuddles!
And then after that, whenever Leo complains that he's cold, reader drags him to the couch or his bedroom to cuddle 🤗. It ends up being a sort of codeword for "I want cuddles"
Hope that's not too specific for you, friend, and feel free to ignore if you're not interested ~🌺👸
Y/N threw their front door of their apartment building open with a happy hum. Their lips turned up into a big smile as they slowly made their way along the pavement. The first snow of the winter had fallen and while the snow along the road was either melted or in a dark grey color, they couldn’t help themself but be content anyhow. There were still white spots all around the city that looked quite magical.
Though the beauty of snow wasn’t the only thing that made Y/N quite so happy. In fact, it wasn’t even necessarily the winter season. No, they frankly loved the cold! Winter and autumn were their favorite months. It brought along a special coziness with it that they just enjoyed so much. These months were made to cuddle up with someone beneath a blanket, drink something warm and watch really bad seasonal movies.
Y/N couldn’t help but chuckle to themself as they rounded yet another corner, a puff of warm air evaporating into a little cloud as they did so. If their friends knew what was going through their head right now, they would probably be mighty confused, seeing how they are usually so touch averse. To be fair that was mostly due to the weather! When everything is hot and sweaty you don’t really want to hug it out with others!
Ah, but yes. Their friends. A lovable and unique bunch. And with unique they meant the quite literal meaning. Their friend group mainly consisted of mutants and even one or two yokai, so yes, unique.
When Y/N moved to New York for college, they were so worried about finding new friends in this huge and new city. Moving across states was already a sobering thought but then there was the whole ordeal of knowing they would be all alone over there. Their family and old friends staying home or even moving further away themselves.
But luckily Y/N ended up having a few classes with the amazing and outgoing April O’Neil. For some reason April began chatting with Y/N whenever she got the chance. Talking about college, the city and the like. This soon turned into April inviting them to hang out at her apartment to study together which later evolved into them sitting in a park with some food and voicing the people who walked through. Y/N still remembers the improvisational argument they had with April when they saw a couple arguing on a park bench. Franklin, they named the couple, did not enjoy that David was constantly eating spinach with cheese and nothing else.
April and Y/N truly were the comedic duo.
It took only a month for the two to become inseparable college friends, which Y/N was thankful for every day. Sure, they might still get used to being in college and living in a new city but at least they had April at their side to work through all those hurdles and oh boy was April ever happy to help.
Now what the Y/N back then didn’t know was, that being friends with April meant that there was a chance that they would be standing face to face with mutants.
Not going to lie, the first meeting could have gone better. Y/N was hanging out with April and offered to walk to the nearest store to grab some snacks. When they came back, they were met with four mutant brothers that interrogated April as to why she was suddenly sending Mayhem, April’s teleporting yokai pet, so often to their place to be pet-sitted.
It took a while for Y/N to realize that they were in fact not dreaming and that this was real. They couldn’t help but poke and prod the brothers to make sure they were in fact standing in front of them.
Nowadays though, they were very good friends with the four turtle mutants. Most of the time after college classes they would immediately swing by the lair to relax and bring over some things for the turtles that they have problems getting on their own.
While they got along with everyone, even Splinter surprisingly, they got along with Leo the best. It wasn’t unusual for both to start talking in puns and sassing each other non-stop. Whenever this happened the others in the vicinity will groan in annoyance and make sure to get away from this.
As Y/N’s mind wandered back to these memories they finally reached their destination. A little coffee shop they found once when they were on a walk to clear their mind from all the college work. They loved this little place, it was comfy and it had the best drinks.
It’s the winter season so grabbing something warm was only natural and since they did announce to the Mad Dogs that they would swing by, they also grabbed some warm drinks for the family. They just hoped the drinks would still be warm enough when they arrived.
Once they received the drinks and paid, they got back out the shop and looked for the nearest sewer entrance. With their phone in hand, and an app that Donnie made for them so they could find their way around underground, they began their trek through the stinky sewers. Honestly, they were still not sure how the mutant family managed to keep the smell out of their home.
It didn’t take too long for them to reach the lair entrance. While Y/N was already in a happy mood and had a smile on their face, they couldn’t help themself as their grin grew even wider. They just felt at home here.
“Hello, guys! Delivery!”
The first to poke their head into the living space was Donnie. His eyes immediately landing on the tray with the cups in Y/N’s hands. His sour expression relaxed a tiny bit, but Y/N did notice the change.
He slinked his way towards them “Ah! Greetings, Y/N! You brought us drinks?”
Y/N nodded “Yep! It’s winter! Snow is out! Perfect weather for a nice warm cup of coffee, cocoa or tea.” They grabbed the coffee they specifically ordered for Donnie and placed it in his hands. As the warm cup made contact with his cold hand, he let out a satisfied sigh.
“Ugh, winter.” A voice spoke up next to the two. “Hate this season.”
It was Leo, Mikey and Raph stood next to him.
Y/N couldn’t help but roll their eyes at Leo’s statement, they knew Leo hated the cold, which made sense seeing how the guys were cold-blooded, but still. Not waiting for the others to ask about the drinks Y/N immediately moved to hand each their drinks.
Mikey immediately held the warm cup close to himself, taking a cautious sip while Raph was clearly just using the cup to warm up his fingers.
Leo moved the cup against his cheek, letting out a satisfied hum as he enjoyed the warmth.
“Don’t you guys have ways to heat up the lair? I figured Donnie would have already done something about it.”
Donnie took a big sip from his coffee “Well the lair is pretty open, so we opted mostly to heating up the closed rooms we got. So mainly the projector room, our rooms and of course my lab.”
Leo nodded “Yes, yes. Exactly.” He then used his free hand and placed it on top of Y/N’s shoulder, softly pushing them along “That’s why we chill in my room. I got some comics that I found and wanna show you and it’s way too cold here. Come on.”
As Leo continued to push them along, Y/N gave the other brothers an apologetic look, but they just shrugged their shoulders. That’s just how Leo was with Y/N. Loved hanging out with them and often kidnapping them to hang out alone. According to Leo it’s just because the two are just the bestest of friends. Something April loved to challenge seeing how the two spend a lot of time together in and outside of college.
Before Y/N and Leo could disappear, they could hear the rest yell out a quick “Thank you for the drinks!”
Once inside Leo’s room, he let the human go and immediately jumped into his bed, wrapping his blanket around his body with a sour expression. A floor heater was sitting in the middle of the room, but it was obvious it was only doing so much. It was alright for Y/N but they knew that Leo was more sensitive towards the cold than them.
“So, the comics?” they asked as they shrugged of their coat.
Leo just nodded towards his desk, refusing to move his arms out of the warm blankets.
Y/N couldn’t help but chuckle silently as they walked towards the desk, grabbing one of the comics. It was about a superhero detective, something they haven’t seen yet and as they skipped through the comics they could see why. The art was definitely interesting to say the least. They would love to get a breakdown from Mikey to see what he was thinking of it.
When Y/N looked back towards Leo, it somehow looked like he cuddled himself even deeper into the blankets. They let out a humorous snort “You really are turning into a Leo-Burrito.”
As a response Leo just stared blanky at them. His fingers were poking out of the blankets to hold the warm cup and move it to his lips so he could take sips. Probably trying to pace it a bit so he had more of the warmth.
“I should take a picture of this.”
And when Leo’s eyes widened, protests leaving his mouth, Y/N immediately grabbed their phone, snapping a picture of the blushing and bundled up turtle.
He sighed “You are more annoying than usual. You are so happy today.”
Y/N let out a bit of an evil laugh as they looked at the picture of the pouting Leo-Burrito, sending it along to April immediately “Well, it snowed! I love the snow!”
“I really don’t understand how you can love this time of the year! It’s so cold and annoying and oh yeah, cold.” He made sure to scowl, his brow ridge pulled as low as possible.
“Are you kidding? This is the best time of the year! It’s the year to get warm drinks, cuddle with people under a nice warm blanket and watch horrible movies!”
This seemed to surprise Leo. His scowl turned to an expression of confusion mixed with surprise, there was a slight blush on his face that Y/N attributed to him feeling cold.
Leo’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Y/N, only for his eyes suddenly to dart to his drink “Uh, you? And cuddles? Since when? You don’t even like it when we put our arm around your shoulders.”
“Well, when we met it was summer and all and during the warmer days it’s just … icky. I’m sweating and hating it. Getting hugged and all means more warmth and more sweat. It’s annoying but that’s the great thing about the colder months, I guess. I’m not entirely like... touch-averse, it just has never been the right moment?”
Somehow this became awkward, and Y/N could feel how an embarrassed blush made their way towards their face. To hide this, they turned back to the comic in their hands, still watching Leo from the corner of their eyes.
Leo was nervously biting down on his lip as he seemed to mull something over. It was funny how easy of a time Y/N had when it came to reading Leo. The number of times they surprised him by telling him exactly what was going through his mind and offering him to listen to his worries was more than they could count on their hands by now. Unbeknownst to them Leo appreciated this detail about them immensely.
He had problems to voice his thoughts to the others, especially his worries, after all he was the confident one! So, to have someone just straight up almost read his mind and offer a listening ear was a big help.
“W-Well, I don’t believe you.” He suddenly spoke up. Leo must have realized how stupid this sounded, at least when Y/N looked at him with a raised eyebrow because he couldn’t look at their face as he stared at the wall next to him. His lip jutted out into a bit of a pout as he acted like he was deep in thought.
“What? You want me to prove it to you?” they laughed “Or do you just wanna get a hug and use me for my body warmth?”
Aghast Leo finally looked back at Y/N. Hit the nail on the head, huh? The blush on his face definitely darkened, he opened his mouth to most definitely say something witty and sassy in return, but Y/N stopped him by putting the comic back down on the desk and moving over to the blue turtle.
Leo was just staring at them with a slightly open mouth, curious to see what they were up to. When Y/N stood in front of his bed and looked at him expectantly he asked “What?”
“Move, idiot. Let me into your burrito!”
But Leo didn’t dare to move, so Y/N forcefully pulled on the blanket to open it enough to let themselves in. He shrieked as the colder air hit him which made Y/N laugh again. He was such a baby when it came to the cold.
Y/N made sure to sit down next to the taller terrapin and wrap the blue blanket around the two. They could tell that Leo was tense as they made themself comfortable next to him. He was usually very much okay with being all touchy-feely with his family, including April, so this surprised Y/N.
Slowly Y/N grabbed the almost finished drink from Leo’s hands and placed it to the side. Leo let out a sad whine as the warmth left him. Instead, Y/N grabbed the turtle’s arms and laid them around their body, pulling their own arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer to themself. Surprisingly Leo didn’t object to it and just let himself be guided by them.
It took a second but as Y/N gave him a little squeeze to show that this was alright, he let out a soft sigh as he took the chance to bury himself deeper into the hug. He was now pressing his cold snout into the crook of their neck which sent a shiver along Y/N’s body at first contact.
Seeing how this was the proper first time Y/N hugged Leo, they were a bit surprised with how cold his body was. Of course, they knew that this was a thing and they have felt it every now and again when their hands brushed, or when he laid his hand on their shoulder and arms, but it was something different as he basically tried to bury himself inside their body.
His legs searched for contact with Y/N’s, which soon resulted in their legs being intertwined. Y/N slowly moved a hand on Leo’s shell, lazily tracing along the pattern while their other hand rested on the back of his head “See? All good, right?”
Leo nodded slowly, his face still pressed into their neck “Mhm, warm.” Was all he said.
“I knew it! You are just using me for my body heat! I can’t believe you!”
“ ‘m sure am.”
“The devious criminal even admits to it.”
“This devious criminal will keep you for himself. You can’t leave this place ever now. I officially ‘m kidnapping you.” His voice was still muffled by him pressing himself against Y/N. They could feel his mouth move against their collarbone which tickled them, but they managed to suppress a laugh that was threatening to leave their chest.
“I should yell for help then, I guess. I’m sure your brothers are nicer to me.”
In return Leo just nodded, letting out a very non-committal “Mhm” in affirmation.
Y/N could tell he was getting sleepy. They made sure to lay securely against the wall of the room and gave Leo another squeeze as a silent encouragement to fall asleep. If he understood that or not, it didn’t matter, since he was out cold a minute later.
With a smile on their face Y/N made sure to continue tracing his shell. It was a nice feeling with how his weight was laying on them, his arms securely wrapped around their body, their legs tangled together. It felt comfortable and safe. Almost intimate even.
Y/N definitely thought the plastron would probably be uncomfortable on their body but somehow it was fine. They knew it wasn’t as hard as the shell, since it bended and moved along as he did his acrobatics, but it was still way firmer than skin.
This was also the first time they got the chance to take a proper look at his shell and let their hands run along it. They had to admit that they were often curious about it and would have loved to take a closer look at it, but it wasn’t anything they just could ask him about. Not that he wouldn’t have let them, they were positive, but the teasing would have been horrible and frankly they didn’t want to give him this satisfaction.
They could only imagine him saying something stupid like “Oh? It only makes sense you wanna take a better look at my awesome bod!” Something that would have definitely ended up with them trying to punch Leo.
As Y/N slowly closed their eyes, sensing the drowsiness, they began humming a tune. It wasn’t any specific tune, just something that came up and felt calming to them. The tune died in their throat though as they finally succumbed to their sleepiness as well.
Y/N woke up first, Leo was still wrapped in their arms but he too woke up when Y/N had the horrific realization that it was actually pretty late and that there were still projects that had to be done. There were silent, incoherent protests from Leo as they untangled their limbs from his and moved out of his bed.
“The comics were great, Leo.” Y/N laughed.
Leo buried himself further into the blanket, probably enjoying the rest of the warmth that Y/N so graciously donated.
“They are. Gotta get over here again soon so you can take a better look at them.” He murmured still sleep drunk.
“Ah, yes, and not for another cuddle session so you can steal more of my precious body heat.”
“What can I say? ‘s cold.”
“I might as well ask for payment if that is how this will go.”
“Your hugs are great. The others will be jealous. After all I’m the first to get a proper hug from the Y/N.” A yawn ended Leo’s quip.
Y/N just gave him an affirmative hum as they moved to give him a little pat on his head. He moved his head up so their hand connected with his cheek. Leo’s smug expression didn’t go unnoticed.
“Alright, see ya bud. I’ll try to come over tomorrow.”
There was only a soft “Yay!” from Leo as Y/N finally tore themself away from him and made their way out of the lair. They would have said goodbye to the others but all of them were probably bunkered down in their rooms and Y/N really needed to get back to their apartment in order to do some work. These due dates won’t wait for no one. Well, they kind of do it’s just a thing of if you are prepared or not but this wasn’t the point right now.
Once home though Y/N spent a good amount of time to chat with April viaphone and joke about the Leo-Burrito picture before they finally sat down to study and work. Still, they couldn’t help but sometimes get the picture of Leo out. It was funny okay? Also he looked adorable. Let’s ignore the fact that this was also amazing blackmailing material.
If they could they would love to print and frame the picture. Just for teasing purposes of course.
The next day Y/N made sure to make their way to the lair again after doing some chores and work. This time April joined them since they met up for lunch. Both happily gossiping about some professors and supposed university mysteries that April was currently investigating.
“I don’t think they have the capabilities to create ‘new life’, April”
April just scowled “Well, I don’t mean anything like a full sentient six foot beings! Just something small. We both saw weirder hanging out with the turtles.”
Y/N rolled their eyes “Why would our university, that specializes particularly in creative writing and journalism and the like, create their own lifeform. It just doesn’t add up!”
“That’s why I’m investigating! The rumors must have come from somewhere and usually there is a kernel of truth in there!” she groaned as the two rounded the last corner before arriving at the lair.
“I’m gonna predict and say that people are trying to hatch some bird eggs.”
Before April could retort, the two students already stood in the lair hence why Y/N cupped their mouth and yelled out “Boys! Your superhero, super friends are here and we are dying for some entertainment!”
“Ya know, we can just walk in without announcing it every time.” But Y/N just shrugged at that, they started doing it when they got to know the family and at this point it was just the procedure they always did.
Raph was the first to appear but his brothers were close behind. Leo had one of his eyebrows up as he looked at his two friends “What? Are we your personal jesters now?”
Y/N nodded happily, stepping closer to Leo with their arms crossed in front of their chest “Yep! I thought that was clear ever since the start of our friendship? I mean you always act like a clown, so I just assumed…”
“Hardy-har-har. Keep talking, let’s see who will be the clown by the end of this.” Leo took a step closer as well.
Before the two could start their joke argument fully, April stepped in between the two “Okay, kids! No arguing! It’s movie time!”
“Yes, please! Let’s get into the warm projector room!” Mikey spoke up, pulling April along. Leo followed suit and laid his arm around Y/N. At first Y/N could tell he didn’t dare to put the weight of his arm fully on their shoulders but when they didn’t protest or shake him off, he finally did relax and forced them to move along to follow the others.
Leo really took advantage of the fact that Y/N told him that during the winter they didn’t mind body contact. They enjoyed the contact actually. It’s been a long while since they had a proper hug or even a cuddle session like yesterday. Okay, maybe they were also taking advantage of this whole situation. Yet, it surprised them that Leo didn’t tease them about it. Made some quips or any kind of witty remarks.
Then again if he did Y/N would definitely stop gracing him with their hugs and warmth so there might be that.
The projector room was definitely warmer than the open living space of the lair but the differently colored blankets did show that the turtles were still struggling. Being cold-blooded must be rough.
The turtles scrambled beneath their respectively colored blankets while April worked to get the projector running to get the movie started. Y/N on the other hand went into the kitchen to prepare some popcorn and maybe make just some simple hot cocoa for the freezing brothers. It might not reach Mikey’s level but it was mostly for warmth than anything. Also their own cocoa wasn’t that bad it just wasn’t Mikey good!
Y/N first brought the popcorn bowls into the room only to vanish again and bring everyone their warm cups.
“Lately you are spoiling us with warm drinks, Y/N.” Raph noted as he took a sip.
But Y/N just chuckled “I bought you some yesterday and made you guys some today. If that is spoiling you then I’m really sorry for you.”
“Still appreciated!” Surprisingly it was Donnie who said that. He might put on a bad boy persona but some warm drinks managed to break through his shell after all, huh?
“Okay, got it! Y/N is amazing! Now let’s put on the movie, I’ve been working my butt off the last few days I can really use this right now!” April said as she started the movie.
Y/N wanted to retort that her work was snooping around campus all day but they bit the comment back. Instead they took their coat and threw it on Leo as they made themself comfortable next to him. He just squawked in surprise as he shook the coat off his head.
“Since you are always so cold.” Y/N whispered, making sure to open their eyes wide and putting on a pout to show off some very sarcastic pity.
Leo just huffed but still moved their coat around his shoulders, his eyes now transfixed on the action movie that began.
Watching a movie with the family was always fun. Mikey loved gushing about the artistic choices, Donnie tended to explain some effects or why something didn’t make sense while Raph showed his appreciation for any kind of cool action sequences and Leo couldn’t help but throw in some possible one-liners for the hero of the movie that made everyone groan in the room.
April had a clear weakness for any journalist kind of characters that made sure to get themselves involved with the plot in order to find out more as to what was happening. Y/N on the other hand was in a similar boat like Leo. They couldn’t help themself as they made puns. They really felt smug and happy whenever they made a pun that resulted in the majority of the room to burst out into “boo!” and popcorn being thrown their way. At this point they could tell when it would happen and they always tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to catch some popcorn with their mouth. Sometimes this would result in Raph trying to throw popcorn into Y/N’s mouth as they darted across the room.
Right now though Y/N was leaning against a beanbag next to Leo with a few pieces of popcorn littering their body that they didn’t notice.
Leo placed his empty cup on the ground with a soft clink, his gaze tore off the movie to look at Y/N.
At first Y/N didn’t notice, to engrossed in the movie as the hero ran after some goons. Their own eyes following the action until they suddenly noticed that someone was very clearly staring at them from the corners of their eyes.
When Y/N turned their head to quizzically look at Leo, they noticed how close he really was. He looked shy, a question on his face but too scared to actually ask. There was an adorable blush on his face.
Not expecting this sudden closeness the human could feel their cheeks blush as well only for a thought to suddenly enter their mind which made them affectionately roll their eyes.
“What is it, Leonardo?”
“Y/N?”
“Uh-Huh?”
“I’m cold.”
Y/N’s eyes wandered over his form to indeed notice the small shivers that wrecked through his body but the way he sheepishly looked at them they knew he also just wanted another cuddle session. Once again, Y/N was actually pretty good at reading what was going through his mind.
With a soft grin they scooted closer to him “Well, let me in your little burrito then.”
“Yes!” he cheered quietly, not wanting that the others heard him.
He happily opened up his blanket and waited for Y/N to scoot closer. Once they were close enough he threw the blanket around them and practically pulled them into his lap. Wrapping his arms around them while simultaneously nuzzling his face against their collarbone. In return Y/N threw their one arm around Leo and slowly traced along his shoulder, their other hand rested on one of Leo’s arms that was wrapped around their body.
“Happy?” Y/N chuckled.
Once again Leo nodded against their body “Yes. Very warm. Very comfy.”
“The thief strikes again.” They sighed somberly.
Leo’s chuckle vibrated though his chest “I did tell you that I was kidnapping you but you still managed to flee. Still dumb enough to fall right back into my trap.”
“Sure, Leo. Believe what you want but we both know I just took pity on you.”
“I love your pity handouts.”
Okay, that was enough. Y/N pinched the skin on his arm as their only answer. Leo hissed in surprise and as he wanted to argue back, Y/N made a point of staring right at the movie. Ignoring him completely. Leo leaned back against the beanbag with an annoyed grumble.
He hated it when Y/N did things like that, even if they didn’t say anything it still felt like they had the last word in their argument. Instead he moved their body flush against his so he could lay his head on their shoulder to watch the movie.
“I swear to god Leo if you use this chance to sniff me-“
“Oh my god, Y/N! That’s weird!”
Y/N couldn’t help themself to laugh as they saw Leo’s horrified expression that was laced with a deep blush.

When Donnie was able to intercept the radio signal about the Foot Clan's newest "experiment" he immediately informed his brothers. They eventually decided they needed to go check it out, and in the cover of darkness the descended upon the warehouse. Leonardo was the first to notice it's disarray and the alarms blaring,
" it looks like a horror movie scene," Mikey whispered, earning a huff from Raphael as Donatello looked around nervously. What had happened here?
As they got closer, the bodies started to pile up, along with the sounds of crashing and things being thrown. Eventually, they heard a guttural growl as they came around a bend. Their eyes widened as they spotted a blue huddled form sitting in the middle of multiple bodies. It sat up with a shrill gasp as it whipped around to face them. She jumped up, knife and hands covered in blood as she panted, staring down the brothers. She was as tall as them, if not taller. Was she a mutant? Her tail lashed widely as she let out a hiss as one of the bodies began to groan. She plunged the knife into it over and over again, growling, hissing and panting like a feral animal. She eventually jumped back up and started knocking stuff off tables with shrill yells and yips.
" WHERE AM I!? " She whipped around, gasping and tossing stuff. These demons had brought her here. She knew that much.
She whipped back around as Leo stepped out from behind the corner, she hissed, lashing out with her knife as he stepped out. She climbed behind the metal table that had been dented when she threw it.
" WHO YOU DEMON!? " She screamed, fangs barred as the gaint green creature took in her words, her accent was foreign, something no one had ever heard before. He raised his 3 fingered hands to show he meant to harm as she lashed at him. She backed up, stepping over bodies and broken glass.
" I'm Leonardo, I am not going to hurt you. " He stated calmly as she pressed herself against the wall, ear pressed against her skull and tail lashing. She glanced at the body beside her, reaching down and grabbing the gun from his hand. She cocked it, pointing it at the creature as she hissed. Thank god dad taught me how to use this thing, she thought as the creatures eyes widened.
" Back. Now. " She hissed and he glanced at his brothers as they came to his side, she hissed louder. I could try to run past them, but then what? She hissed as the one in purple slammed his pole down on the metal ground that rang throughout the warehouse. She huffed, lowering the gun as her adrenaline started too where off. Everything was so heavy, so... tiring...
* * *
I was out cold before I hit the floor, I know that because I never felt myself hit the ground. My eyes shot open as I sat up, head whipping around frantically as I took in my surroundings, a little room. I ripped out the IV line that was stuck into me with a yelp of pain as I stumbled out of the bed and into the wall. I heard walking and quickly climbed under the bed that I had woken up on. I pulled my knee to my chest with a grunt of pain that I tried to suppress as my breathes became ragged and frantic. Where am I? What were those things? How did I—
My thoughts we interrupted by the covers the hung over the bed being moved, causing light to shine in under it. I winced at the bright light and hissed as a head bent down to look under. I pulled my knees closer as I scooted back as far as I could.
" Hey, it's alright, we will not hurt you." My ears perked at the familiar language.
" You speak the language of my people? Who are you...? " I moved my hand in front of my face to block the light as I squinted.
" My name is Donatello. You need medical attention. You are hurt. " Slowly, a 3 fingered hand reached under and was held out, I slowly took it, crawling out from under the bed. Everything burned, I winced, blinking rapidly at the bright light as I was helped up. I steaded myself, hearing talking from out behind the curtained entrance. I sat down on the edge of the bed slowly, glancing at the green creature in the purple mask nervously.
" Where.. where am i? " I whispered as he started to tend to where I had ripped out the IV.
" New York." He glanced at my confused expression as he continued, " On Earth. "
I felt my heart drop to my stomach as my eyes widened.
" What.. no.. no, no, no, no! " I started to shake violently, and as he put a hand on my shoulder, I jumped up, screaming and hissing from my perch on the bed.
" GET AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME. " At this, he tried to step back as I shrieked, but almost tripped as I huddled into the corner. There were footsteps and yelling outside,
" Donnie! What's happening? " One stated as the curtains were pushed open. I growled, crouched down in the corner of the room as another green creature with a red mask walked in. My eyes locked on the gap in between him and the other mutant, and I bolted, throwing myself in between the two before they could think. I crashed into something and yelped, standing up quickly, I ran as I heard someone come running. I glanced at something that reflected on the wall, a weapon. I quickly lept, taking a sword in hand and wipping around. I growled at 2 creatures that stood before me, one in red and one in blue, weapons also drawn. I hissed, tail lashing as I crouched down. I jumped over them as something crashed down where I had just been, a.. a hairless tail!? I glanced at the form with a hiss as I landed on top of the couch. My ears twitched at the sound of footsteps, and I swung around, ready to kill as everyone started yelling. Two humans had barged in, the sword I held almost pressed again them. There was a shriek from someone as I was shoved harshly, I dropped the sword with a hiss of pain as I crawled back up from the floor.
" You okay angelcakes? " The creature in orange looked at the humans with concern as the one in red huffed in between us. I scoffed, picking myself back up as the one in red started towards me, weapons drawn. I hissed, running at him. I jumped right into him, sending him onto his back. I wrapped my hands around his weapons blades and yanked them from his grip as I jumped off of him. I flipped them around and got a grip on the handles as I spoke
" I WILL KILL YOU DEMON! DO NOT COME CLOSER! " I snorted as he started to get up, huffing and angry. I crouched down, ready to fight until the same creature from early stepped in between us.
" Raph, calm down. You, drop the weapons. " I hissed, fangs baring as I did.
" Send me back home! " I growled, ears flat against my skull.
" I need time to figure out how to do that alright, so please, for everyone's sake, drop them. " I snorted, throwing the knife like weapons passed both of their heads and into the wall. Everyone was silent as I stared at Donatello, the tension growing so thick you could cut it with a knife. My ears twitched as footsteps sounded, I turned to see the rat-like creature from before. I glared at it as it came closer,
" What does it want? " I stepped back with a hiss as it continued to come at me, slowly but surely.
" She wants to know what you want, Sensei. " Donnie said, looking at Master Splinter. He didn't answer as he finally got close enough to touch me. I glared daggers at him, and he grabbed my hands firmly as he inspected the cuts from grabbing the twin sai from his son. He motioned for me to follow with his hand, I glanced back with a hiss at the one in red and followed nervously. He led me back to the room I had come from. He grabbed the first aid kit Donatello had been using and opened it up, wrapping my hands tightly and silently. I stared blankly pasted him, thinking about everything when tears started to prick at my eyes.
" I want to go home... Will I ever be able to go home? " I studied the small huddled rat-thing as if expecting an answer, but I got none. I sighed, tail and ears drooping as the one in blue, Leonardo, pushed through the curtains. I let out a small hiss, but he just glanced at me as Donatello pushed through the curtains as well.
" We will try to find a way to get you home. " He glanced up from the screen that glowed in front of him.
" Raph, you totally got your ass beat by the new babe! " The one in orange laughed, practically crying, earning a shove from one in red from behind the open curtain. A slight smile crawled across my face as the rat thing, the 'Sensei', finished wrapping my hands.
" Since I am apparently stuck here, my name is Lìu'ye alu Pxiut Asipä. " I scrunched my nose in annoyance as I watched his eyes fill with confusion and glance at Leonardo.
" Lìu'ye. " I repeated in annoyance, flexing my bandaged hands. He tried to say it back, but I put my hand in his face.
" Stop. It is pathetic to hear you struggle with something so simple! " I rolled my eyes, looking at Leonardo, who was eyeing us in confusion. I stared back, side eyeing him as I snorted in annoyance as Donnie spoke up.
" You should probably go apolo— "
" For what? That he's a wuss? Or weak? " There was immediately cackling from outside as I smirked as Donnie rolled his eyes. I shrugged, walking past him as he sighed.
" What do you guys have to eat around here? " I eyed the mutant in red as the one beside him in orange was hunched over laughing, at the lack of response I growled. My tail flicked as I eyed the two humans talking to the 'Sensei', or what must be the Eytukan and the mutant in blue. I turned to the sound of footsteps and looked down at the one in orange.
" What up, dudette! My name is Michaelangelo, but you can call me Mikey! " He grinned, I eyed him before I spoke.
" Mikey? " His grin widened as he raised his arms.
" Welcome to your new home!- I guess? " He glanced at his brother in purple who thought for a moment then nodded as he turned back to his computers. I eyed the Twin Sai in the wall and walked over, ripping them out of the wall and turning around. Everyone stared back, waiting for me to make a move. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the one in red, or 'Raph?' I handed him the two sai and smirked.
" What? Never got beat by a girl? " His eyes widened, and I swear I saw smoke come from his nose and ears. Mikey practically fell over laughing as I turned away, my tail hitting his hand as he practically vibrated with anger.
" Idiots I tell you! Eywa, help me! " I hissed, rubbing my face with my hands as I walked away. I felt my heart crack a bit as I reflected on what was happening. I was staring off into nothing that when someone grabbed my arm, I practically jumped out of my skin. I whipped around to see a human woman staring up at me. She put out her hand to be shook.
" My name is April O'Neil. " I glanced at her wearily, looking back at a grinning Mikey as he gave me a thumbs up. I bent down, taking her hand gently and shaking it. I thought as she stared up at me, a small smile plastered on her face.
" Lilith.. My name Lilith. " The corner of my lips pulled to a small grin, slightly showing my fangs as I did.
" You are not all bad, little demon. " I smiled, standing up.
" Names? " I glanced at Mikey as I sat down on the couch, who seemed to light up at my words.
" This is my brother Donatello, a technical genius who is technically a genius! " He pointed to the mutant in purple as he spoke, then pointed to the one in red.
" This is my other brother, Raphael! He's the one with anger issues! " This earned him a glare from his brother as he moved onto the one in blue.
" This is my other, other brother. Leonardo, our fearless leader! " I glanced at him, eyebrows scrunched. Really? Him? A Eytukan? I almost laughed at the thought.
" Then, of course, there is me, Mikey, " He then pointed to the two humans,
" Then there is April, whom you already met, and Casey, the weird guy." I eyed the two as he pointed to the Sensei,
" And that is our dad, Master Splinter! " Ah, there is why they all listened to him. He was their father. I glanced at him, then Mikey.
" We are mutants. It's a long story. Anyways, tell me a bit about yourself! " He grinned excitedly as he sat down next to me. There was something so comforting about his unbothered ways. He reminded me much of my brother...
" I am Lìu'ye, or Lilith, of the Mangkwan clan. My father is the olo'eyktan, and my mother was a part of the Avatar Program before the Great War. " My ears twitched as Donnie walked over.
" Her name is Lilith of Mangkwan Clan. Her father was clan leader, and her mother was an avatar, " He stated, sitting down in between us with a cup of coffee.
" Yooo!! That's so cool! So you're like a princess of the clan? " Mikey chirped, leaning forward to see past his brother. I shrugged, nodding slightly
" I guess you could say that? " He grinned at my response, earning an eye roll from his brother,
" So I could call you princess? " At this, I snorted, flicking him in the face as he let out a yelp, almost knocking Donnie's coffee out of his hands as he flinched.
" Watch it, Mikey! " He barked in annoyance, standing up and walking back towards his computers. Mikey rolled his eyes. My eyes followed the edges of the room, then stopped at the wall full of weapons. I stepped up, walking closer to it with care. I inspected the weapons, metal, I scoffed, turning towards Mikey, who had followed me.
" Where my knife? " At this, I felt something come flying towards us, I practically shoved Mikey out of the way as I grabbed the knife before it hit the wall. He stumbled up with a star-struck expression as he looked at who had thrown the knife.
" Did you just throw my own knife at me? " I growled, stepping closer to Raphael as Mikey gulped.
" Hey- uh- guys, let just calm down– " At Mikey's blubbering, Leo realized what was about to go down and quickly stepped in.
" Woah woah woah, everyone, calm down! What happened? " I snorted, knife in hand as I stared down into Raph's eyes.
" Don't you EVER think that I am scared of you. You moron, thinking you're so tough when you are the weakest. " I spat, pointing a finger into his chest.
" Raph threw Lil's knife at her! " Mikey explained to Leo as his brother was still being faced down by their newest 'addition' to their group.
" Raph! What the hell is your problem!? " Leo retorted, shoving his brother away as Mikey drew away my attention as I sheathed my knife.
" Hey princess, how about we go get you something to eat? Is there anything specific you want? " He said as he pulled me away, my tail lashed as I reluctantly followed him. I shrugged as I sat down at the table and watched Mikey get to work on whatever, while Leo and Raph's arguing was still echoing throughout the rooms. I eventually must have fallen asleep because Mikey had to wake me.
" Hey! Hellooooo! Wake up, sleepy head! I made pancakes! " I slowly pulled my head off of the table with a tired groan as a plate was put in front of me. I rubbed my eyes as I took in the scent of the food in front of me. I started stuffing my face before Mikey could hand me a fork. He watched in amusement as I finished off the plate within seconds.
" Thanks Mikey. " I purred out, standing and stretching as I yawned.
" You're welcome! Anytime you want something to eat, just let me know! " I nodded, eyes closed as I breathed in the scents around me. There was something.. something new, I turned around to see Master Splinter sitting cross-legged in a circle of candles. I silently walked over, careful not to interrupt as I sat down in front of him. I watched curiously, head cocked to the side as my tail thumped quietly against the floor. He eventually opened an eye to see what I was doing.
" Hello, Master Splinter. " I chirped out as he opened both eyes.
" Hello Lilith, how are you feeling? "
" ..Lost. " I whispered out, and he nodded in understanding.
" We will try our best to get you back home to your universe. " He returned to his pose, leaving no room for questioning his words. I huffed, standing up and looking around and picking a direction. I walked over to the glowing room of screens cautiously. I wasn't even halfway there before I felt something flying through the air at me. I leaped for the couch, almost flipping it over as I rolled back up and looked around. Master Splinter was standing where I had been with an amused glint in his eyes. At this sudden movement, his sons joined us on the outskirts of the room. I felt a grin creep across my face as I took a stance, ready to dodge or attack. There was a deafening silence until he came running at me, I jumped out of the way and onto the roof, hanging upside down by my legs with a grin.
" That's all you got, old man? " I chirped, causing Donnie to cackle as he informed Master Splinter of what I had said. They all grinned, even Raph, as I jumped down. Splinter motioned for me to make the first move, and I did. I jumped at him, but as he ducked down, I grabbed the back of his clothes and rolled, sending him flying. He caught himself with a thunk as I quickly stood back up. He walked closer, clamly and I followed suit.
" You fight well, but you can still be taken by surprise. " At that, his tail swept my feet from under me, and I hit the floor with an annoyed hiss. I sat back up, still grinning slightly as he continued.
" With more training you will be ready for surprise attacks. If you would like to train? "
I grinned wide in excitement as I hopped back up.
" I would love to! - if it's not any trouble! " I nodded quickly, bowing my head to him.
" When your injuries are healed, we will begin. " He said as he walked back to the circle of candles, I grinned, looking back at the 4 brothers who had watched. Mikey gave a thumbs up and Donnie nodded, but Raph and Leo just watched, faces deadpanned as they glanced at each other. My grin faltered as I looked at them, I turned back at Mikey who was excitedly hopping around, and it returned.
" This is so cool! You'll get to train with us! It'll be soooo fun! " I nodded, a yawn escaping my lips as I did.
" It's almost sundown. " Donnie pointed out, elbowing Leo gently to which he nodded, arms crossed. My ears perked as I turned to look at them.
" What does that mean? " I inquired, following the group as they went to the weapons wall.
" We are going out to patrol the city, " I cocked my head at Donnie's reply.
" You can sleep in the guest room, where you woke up at. " He pointed to the room as I nodded.
" We will be out until sunrise. " Leo added as he sheathed his katanas. I took a seat of the couch as they finished grabbing their gear.
" We won't be gone too long princess! " Mikey chirped, earning a groan from the rest of the party and an eye roll from me as they left.
I huffed, melting into the couch as I tried to stay awake. I very much lost the fight and fell into deep sleep and was awakened by the sound of heavy footfall. I practically jumped up, making eye contact with a masked man. I growled, jumped on top of him as he let out a shriek, I knocked of the mask to reveal– Casey.
" Really smart. " I spat sarcastically as I hopped off of him. He stumbled up, looking at me in fear as I returned to my spot on the couch, eyes following him.
" You almost killed me! " He yelped, pointing his mask at me with his hand. I nodded, letting a fanged grin show as he stomped off. I snorted, rolling my eyes as I closed my eyes once again, relaxing into the couch.
I was awoken to the sound of hushed arguing as the brothers returned. I yawned, stretching and getting up as they put their weapons back up onto the wall. I spotted Casey staring at me from beside April and I snapped my fangs at him with a grin as he jumped back. They all turned to me as I cleared my throat.
" Thank you. " I stated as I signed 'I See You' to each of the brothers as they stayed silent. Suddenly there was a scoff from Casey as he spoke up,
" You guys are lucky, she tried to eat me! " He snapped as I let out a laugh and snapped at him again.
" Tasty human~ " I grinned, and he rolled his eyes as the brothers' and April broke into laughter. After they calmed down April handed me a duffle bag, to which I cocked my head in confusion.
" It's clean clothes, probably not your style but it's all I could find that would fit you. " A purr rumbled out of my chest as I smiled down at her.
" Is she– purring? " Raph pointed at me as I walked towards my unofficial room to change.
" Na'Vi purr when they are content or comfortable." Donnie piped up from his screen, fixing his glasses before turning back.
" Awwwwww! That's adorable!!~ " Mikey squeaked from beside Raph who just rolled his eyes as I disappeared behind the curtains.
I quickly changed, the clothes fit like a glove and were surprisingly comfortable! Though I did have to cut a hole for my tail in the pair of shorts I picked out. I stepped out of the room to see April's smiling face.
" You look amazing! " She took my giant hands into hers as she led me along to the kitchen area where everyone was crowded at the table, talking and eating. My nose twitched at the unfamiliar smell that got stronger as I got closer. April pointed to an empty chair next to Raph as she sat on the other side of it. I hopped up into the chair and sat cross legged, catching the glances that everyone shared as I got comfortable.
She scooted a plate with a triangle shaped piece of food towards me.
" It's called pizza, it's good! Try it! " I picked up the flimsy thing and nervously took a bite, it was delicious! I quickly scarfed it down with a satisfied purr. I watched as everyone descended into conversation around the table. I felt my heart crack as my eyes started to sting, I missed my home. I quickly got up, without a word, and jumped up into the exposed piping within the lair. I crawled into a hidden away spot, breathing out a sigh as tears started to stream down my face. I pulled my knees to my chest as I fought to silence the sobs that shook my body as I scrubbed the tears off my face.
" Eywa please... please, I miss them. I miss my home... " I whispered out, the prayer to Eywa echoing in my ears.
I sat there for a while, exhausted and lost. I stared at the pipes, longing from the familiar twists and turns of the trees and the sounds of village below. I closed my eye tightly, hoping I would open them and this was all a funny dream, but it wasn't. I eventually fell asleep, curled up against the unfamiliar pipes, yet somehow they gave me a familiar sense of comfort as I slept. I dreamed of the forests, my family.. my family...
I groaned, slowly pulling my head from the uncomfortable position it had fallen into while I was asleep. I crawled down carefully, letting out a big yawn as I wandered towards the kitchen. I fumbled with the fridge and grabbed a water bottle from inside. I struggled for a moment with the cap then opened it and chugged the whole thing in one big gulp. I wiped my mouth, throwing the bottle away as I stepped out into the common room. I peered at the sleeping figure on the couch, the familiar blue mask gone, but I still recognized it as Leo. I strolled towards the exit, glancing back each time I heard Leo toss and turn. I eventually lifted the cover and peered out; it was just after sundown. I pulled myself out of the small hole, blinking quickly as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I sat to the side of the cover, watching from the shadows as people walked by. I took in a gulp of air, savoring the taste of fresh air on my tongue as it filled my sore lungs. It was so peaceful and calm, that was until the manhole cover flew off as someone jumped out. I bit my tongue in order not to scream as Leo crossed his arms, eyeing me as he stepped over to me. He crouched next to me in the shadow as he slowly spoke up,
" You shouldn't come out here alone. It's dangerous," I scoffed as he continued.
" But I understand you just wanted to relax, I come out here sometimes when I'm stressed. " I raised an eyebrow disbelievingly as he turned his head towards me.
" I'm serious! " He laughed quietly, as my lips pulled into a smile.
" It's... calm. " I stared up at the sky as he followed my gaze. He stood up, putting out his hand to help me up. I took it carefully, pulling myself up as he motioned for me to follow him. As we climbed to the roof top in silence the stars became more and more visible with each step we took until we made it to the roof. He sat along the edge, and I sat next to him, feet dangling off the edge as we looked up at the sky.
We sat there until it was almost sun up, then we slipped back down into the sewers and returned to the lair. I held a smile as we returned, a new energy coursing through my body. We were met with a piercing stare from Master Splinter as we walked into the common room.
" And where have you two been? " He eyed us curiously as Leo spoke up.
" Just watching the stars and relaxing. " I nodded, throwing a small smile his way as I looked back at his father.
" Well next time please let someone know where you are going. " We quickly nodded; a smile still plastered on my face as we were dismissed. I quickly scattered to the kitchen at the smell of food, I was towering over Mikey before he realized I was there. He must have felt my breath on his head, because he looked up suddenly. I beamed, looking into his eyes then at what he was making.
" Food? " I questioned as I stepped to the side of him, and he returned to cutting the vegetables.
" Yep!~ You'll love this! April brought it down for me to cook! " I smiled, leaving him be as I went to find Splinter again. I found him in what looked like an empty room, this must be the training room, I thought as I walked towards him.
" I am ready. " He glanced at me with a nod.
" Are you sure? We will not go easy on you. "
" We? " I echoed as he called for Raphael, who was quickly in the entrance at his father's call.
" Raphael, are you up to help Lilith with her training? " Splinter said as he turned to his son as he nodded, arms crossed.
" Good, stand in that corner. Lilith, you'll stand here, " He pointed to the corner opposite of the one that Raph had stepped into,
" Alright, your goal is to stay out of Raph's hold. No weapons this time. " He stepped off to the outskirts of the room, waiting for a moment as we got into stances before he spoke.
" Begin! "
And with that Raphael leapt forward, running towards me as I stood still. He was about to grab me when I swiftly ducked, rolling to the side and jumping up and quickly gaining distance as he whipped around. I grinned, raising an eyebrow as he came towards me again. I quickly dodged, letting a fake yawn slip as he came at me again. I jumped out of the way again, as I opened my mouth to say something a pair of arms locked around me. I yanked my arms out, throwing them back as I gripped onto the back of the neck of whoever had grabbed me. I shifted my weight forwards as I bent down, throwing whoever was behind me over my head and towards Raph. I panted, pulling myself up right, meeting the stunned face of Leo, who was laying on his back on the ground. I let out a throaty laugh as I looked at the two shocked turtles as I crossed my arms.
" You didn't think I would be that easy to overpower, did you? " I grinned, sticking my tongue out as Leo got up and into stance beside Raph. I grinned, also getting into my stance as the two leapt towards me. I crouched down, throwing myself into Raph's legs. This sent him tumbling over as I rolled out of the way and ran faster towards the wall, Leo following close behind. I leapt onto the wall, pushing myself off of it and flipping midair as I launched myself into Leo, feet meeting his mid-section in an action that sent him flying backwards with a gasp of surprise. I jumped up as he hit the wall with a crash. I smirked as Raph got up, who was chuckling at his brother's dazed expression he had from his spot on the floor. I couldn't hold back my laughter as I glanced between the two brothers'. I snorted, shaking with laughter as Leo regained his balance.
" Geez, I didn't think I was gonna be a punching bag today! " He whined as he got up. At this I practically fell over laughing, drawing the attention of Michelangelo from outside the room.
" Yo who put a Leo sized dent in the wall? " He said, peaking into the room with a hand on the door frame. Raph pointed to me as I grinned innocently.
" No way! And I missed it?! " He gasped, a smirk creeping across his face as Master Splinter joined me in the middle of the room.
" You did well Lilith, we will end training here for today. " He said with a curt nod. I nodded, bowing my head as he exited the room. Me, Leo, and Raph followed suit, drawn towards the smell of food from the kitchen that Mikey had returned to. I quickly hopped into a chair, nose twitching at the mouthwatering scent of food in the air. There was bowl of food placed in front of me by Raph as he and April helped Mikey get the food ready for everyone as Splinter started making some tea. I stared at the bowl, slowly taking the small metal utensil that sat beside it. There was chunks of meat and vegetables, I sniffed the spoonful of food I had brought closer to my face before taking a bite. My pupils grew wide with delight as I ate some more food, I was met with a smirk for Mikey as he sat down next to me. My tail thumped against the chair with a purr rumbling from my chest as I ate.
" Really good! " I grinned through a mouthful of food at Mikey, who had just started eating his own food. He grinned back, also speaking through a mouthful of food.
" I know right? First time April made it with me I fought Casey for seconds! " I purred out a laugh as I continued to scarf down the food until my stomach felt like it was going to burst. I got up with a purr as I collected the empty bowls from around the table and quietly stood by Leo, who had taken the responsibility of cleaning up after dinner. I put the dishes in the water and joined Mikey, who was playing a 'video game' on the couch. I sat next to him, watching over his shoulder as he muttered angrily every time he lost. It became a rhythmic sound, the clicking of buttons followed by the sounds of angry muttering or cheering each time he won. I watched, not really understanding what he was doing but it was more interesting than trying to sleep or dreaming about my home only to have to wake up in an unknown world. I was about to fall asleep until Mikey jumped up, whooping and running over to where Leo had been sitting. I quickly followed, getting close enough to hear Mikey and Leo's conversation.
" Pleaseee Leo! Pleasepleasepleasepleaseeee " Mikey whined, on his hands and knees, begging Leo, who sat in his chair with his arms crossed, looking disapprovingly at Mikey.
" No! It's way too dangerous out there! Especially with the Foot Clan activity picking up! " At this, Mikey let out a groan of annoyance.
" Pleaseeeee this is the only day of the year we can fit in! " He begged, shaking Leo by the shoulders as he got up.
" No Mikey! You are not going out anywhere, that is final. " He snapped as he turned towards his room, causing Mikey to sigh and turn back towards the couch. I followed after him, rubbing my tired eyes as I did.
" What's wrong? " I asked as I trailed after him. He practically threw himself onto the couch as he answered.
" Leo is no fun! Not even letting me go to one Halloween parade! " He whined, sitting up and making room for me on the couch.
" Halloween? " I echoed as he thought of the right words to explain it.
" It's a celebration of sorts, where everyone dresses up. It's the one day of the whole year where we are free to mingle with humans without fear of scaring them! But someone never lets us have any fun around here! " He yelled the last part, making sure Leonardo had heard him. My eyebrows knitted together as I thought.
" Just trying to protect. " Mikey let out a sigh as I spoke, head in his hands.
" I know, but it's annoying. " I nodded in understanding, putting a sympathetic hand on his shoulder.
" Get some rest. " I suggested as he yawned. He nodded, grinning as he pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.
" Good night princess, sleep well! " He grinned as he released me from his hold and made his way towards his room.
" May Eywa guide you, " I yawned, taking a moment to stretch before jumping up into the piping. I crawled into the corner, realizing that someone had put some blankets and pillows up here. I smiled, curling up in the blanket as I quickly descended into sleep.
I looked around the pitch-black void I had awoken in. I whipped around at the sounds of something moving, only to meet the piercing gaze of someone's purple eyes. I was frozen under their gaze, I tried to step closer but couldn't. I was fighting my own body as those eyes burned straight through my soul.
I shot straight up, banging my head on a pipe with a yelp of pain.
" Son of a- " I growled as I rubbed my head.
" You okay up there? " I crawled towards the exit slowly, a hand still rubbing my head as I jumped down to meet Donnie's curious gaze. I nodded, removing my hand from my head.
" Did you put a blanket and pillow up there for me? " He shook his head and took a sip of coffee. I walked past him and towards where April was making food.
" You want some? It's cereal. " She looked up at me with a tired grin. I nodded, and she handed me a bowl and a spoon. I sat down at the table next to Splinter and Leo, who both had tea in their hands. Leo was slowly perking up; he obviously wasn't a morning person. Splinter was sipping his tea silently as I too started to perk up.
" Who put blanket? " I pointed to where I had slept at, and Leo shrugged.
" Must have been Mikey, "
" What must have been Mikey? " Raph interjected with Mikey at his side as they sat down.
" Whoever put a blanket and pillow up there for Lilith. " Leo answered tiredly as Mikey piped up.
" I didn't put anything up there? "
" That's because I did. " Raph answered, taking a sip of coffee as practically everyone turned to face him with a shocked or confused expression.
" Thank you, very comfortable. " I smiled as I continued to eat. He nodded with a huff as Mikey grinned at him.
" Growing soft or something Raph? " Casey grinned as Rapheal turned around to face him, causing Casey to find safety behind April.
" I'll punch you short stack. "
" Okay okay, I get it! " Casey whined from behind April as she made her way towards the table.
" Do you mind if I make a bow? " I looked up at Donnie as I finished off my breakfast.
" I don't see why that would be a problem. I have some wood you can use as the base. " He said as he disappeared into his room, returning a few seconds later with multiple sticks. I carefully took them, inspecting each one until I found one perfect for my new bow. He put the rest back as I sat down on the couch, knife in hand as I carved away. Eventually, Leonardo joined me on the couch, watching carefully as I carved away.
" What are 'ya making? " He pointed to the stick as I grabbed the string Donnie had brought over earlier.
" Bow. " I said as I tied the string and held up the bow. I pulled back, pretending to fire an arrow as he watched curiously. I stood up and I grabbed one of the smaller sticks I had sharpened for an arrow. I pulled back, breathing out as I let the arrow fly through the air. It hit the wall and stuck into it, I grinned, turning to Leo as he held a amazed expression.
" Woah! That was amazing! " He smiled as I retrieved the arrow.
" Want to try? " I held out the bow and arrow to him. He smiled, carefully taking it as I showed him how to stand.
" Hold here. " I carefully directed him into the right way to hold a bow, hissing slightly every time he tried to move.
" Shoulders back! Elbow up! " I barked, pushed his arms into place as I made sure his stance was good. I nodded as he breathed out to release the arrow. It didn't hit and he let out a frustrated groan as I snickered.
" Most do not get that far, did good." I retrieved the arrow as he handed back my bow.
" Yeah, well I'll stick to my katanas. " I nodded, smiling at the fact I was able to teach my new friends about my ways of fighting. I returned to the couch as he left, and I continued carving designs into my bow. Once I had finished with the designs on the bow I moved onto the arrows, sharpening them until they couldn't get any sharper. I then joined everyone for dinner, which was pizza, at the table. I was able to show off my new bow, shooting arrows quickly and swiftly into the walls as everyone watched. I retrieved them and crawled back up into my spot, sharpening them again before putting them in a quiver that Donnie had found a while back as dinner ended. I curled up, ready to sleep as the noise around the lair stopped as everyone went to sleep. That was, until the sound of soft footsteps echoed throughout the space, I almost thought I was dreaming, until I heard someone breathing. I quickly and quietly hopped up, grabbing my bow and quiver and slinging them over my shoulder as I hopped down to meet Mikey, who was as pale as a ghost as he spotted me.
" Oh- uhh, hey princess...! " He whispered as I eyed him curiously while he grabbed his nun chucks off the wall.
" Where you going? " I whispered back, following after him as he walked swiftly and silently towards the exit.
" Um, just, y'know- out? " He grinned, trying to seem innocent as I followed him.
" Where. " I hissed softly back as he rubbed the back of his neck.
" To a Halloween parade... please don't tell Leo I'll be fine! " He whined softly, as I crossed my arms.
" Fine... but we stay together. " His eyes glowed as he led me towards the exit. As we climbed out of the hole I looked back, wincing internally, this was definitely not smart. But what was the worst that could happen?
I was quickly distracted all the people; my mouth fell agape as we joined the crowd. A smiled crawled across my face as we danced and sang with the crowd, Mikey was right, this is awesome! Many people came up to us, saying how good our costumes were. We just laughed and gave them fist bumps as we continued down the streets. It had to be almost midnight when I first noticed the smoke. I grabbed onto Mikey's arm as the smoke became thick and explosions sounded off. We were separated in the panicking people, I looked around as fear rose in my chest, only to meet those purple eyes from my dream. They pierced through the smoke; I felt my heart leap into my throat as I froze under their gaze.

The Worst Part is Not Knowing
A TMNT Short
LeoXFem!Reader
Click clack clack click
You wrapped your arms around yourself, staring out at the rain. It was coming down in heavy sheets, obscuring the street below. You sighed, wondering when it would finally let up. You were tired of the gray hazy days and long cold nights. You were so ready for the sun! To feel it on  your face, your arms, your shoulders. Silently, you pressed your hand to the window, saying a silent prayer for your beloved. Nights like these made you nervous for him and his brothers. The rain made it easier for bad men to hide in the shadows. Leaving your extended family vulnerable. 
You glanced at the clock on the small nightstand next to your bed. 1:00 a.m.. He was late. He normally stopped by around midnight. Your apartment was conveniently on his route back towards the lair. The cup of tea that you made him sat chilled by the window, steam no longer rising from its center. Your heart skipped a beat as you tried to shove away the hundreds of negative thoughts that threatened to pull you under. You refused to believe that something had happened to him. To any of them. He must have got caught up with something. Maybe a robbery? A mugging?
You smirked to yourself, remembering how you met him, once upon a time finding yourself in an alley at the end of a gun. You remembered how calm and collected he had been when he rescued you and so very sweet. The fact that he was a 6 foot mutant turtle absolutely meant nothing to you. He was taken aback by your nonchalant attitude. So much so that he felt comfortable enough to introduce himself to you. 
“My name is Leonardo.” His brilliant blue eyes sparkled as he looked you over. “But you can call me Leo.” He smirked.
Leo. The most beautiful name in the world.
Slowly, his brothers introduced themselves as well. 
That was five years ago. 
How time flies! Especially when you finally find where you belong. Over the course of those five years, you found yourself down in the sewers more than you ever thought possible. Leo wanted you to move in with him, but you just weren't ready. Now, staring out the window, you regretted that choice. What if something did happen? You quickly glanced at your cell. Should you call? What if he’s in the middle of a fight? Would it distract him? Making something inadvertently happen to him? Your gut twisted and squirmed. Now was the time when you really hated that Splinter didn’t have a cell phone. 
Your mind whirled. Who could you call? Casey? You looked at the clock again. Would he even answer? You licked your lips, walking over to your phone. You slid your finger over Casey’s name, your breath hitching as you waited for him to answer. 
“Y/N?” His sleepy voice came over the line. 
“I’m sorry, Casey. I’m having a bit of a hard time.” You explained. 
“What’s going on?” He asked, more alert. 
“It’s Leo. He’s late. He’s never late!” Your emotions began spiraling out of control. 
“Hey, Y/N! Calm down, hun! I’m sure he’s ok! I haven’t heard anything from the guys. I’m sure they’d call if he wasn’t ok.” He said, his words soothing your mind.  “I’d call you if that ever happened.”
Tears stung your eyes. “I didn’t think about that.” You said softly.
“Tell you what. Let me give Raph a call and I’ll call you back. Ok?” He said. 
You nodded. “Yeah. Ok. Thank you, Casey.”
“Sure thing! Be right back!” He hung up, a buzzing sound filling your mind as you pulled the phone away from your ear. 
Seconds felt like hours as you stared down at your phone, your eyes fixed on the time. 1:30am.. You squeezed your eyes shut, intense dread filling your gut. “Please be ok!” You whispered harshly. You were definitely going to insist that you at least be able to text him while they were out on patrol from now on! There’s no way your heart could handle another night like this! Your hand absentmindedly squeezed your phone as you sat down on the edge of your bed. “Come on, Casey!” 
“Hey.” Leo’s voice suddenly drifted across your bedroom.
You instantly stood, your phone falling to the floor as you locked eyes with him. “Leo.” You whispered. 
He took a few steps toward you, the base of his shell dripping as he left wet footprints on your carpet. “I’m sorry I’m late, Y/N.” 
You thought you’d be angrier at him, that you’d sling a few biting remarks, but the truth was, you were just glad he was there and most importantly that he was OK! You shook your head slightly, a few tears falling down your cheeks. Without another word you ran to him. You wrapped your arms around him, your pajamas soaking up the rain from his plastron. Leo sighed, wrapping his arms around you as well as he kissed the top of your head. 
“We need to come up with a better arrangement.” You said as you pulled back to look up at him. 
“I agree. Does this mean you’ll move in with me?” He smirked. 
“Among other things.” You sighed, leaning up to kiss him. Just behind you, your phone dinged. You didn't need to look to know it was Casey texting you that Leo was in fact quite alright.

Unexpected Help
You will see a lot of soft, sweet, comical shorts with probably many spelling mistakes. Warning: None •°~•°~°•~°•~°•~°•~°•~°•~°•~°•
After the turtles' patrols as well as their countless confrontations with criminals, let's say that the turtles have become more and more prone to wounds, injuries and more every day. Their last and most dangerous mission ended up resulting in them having to hide in the nearest place, which happened to be a Veterinary Clinic. Donnie could at least grab maybe one or two supplies so he could treat her brothers' wounds. But let's say the injuries turned off their ninja mode.
R. -Just look for tape and let's go- Y/N. -If you are going to treat that shell you will need to remove the damaged tissue and an antibiotic ointment-
None of the turtles noticed the fact that an individual was staring at the wound on the huge shell as if it were nothing. Honestly, their first meeting was a bit blurry in their heads, they were only certain that they had been helped by a veterinarian, although they were also scolded. They hadn't even been able to leave because of that vet's instructions, but it was probably more than anything because of the anesthesia that had their heads in the clouds.
The turtles stayed in place for a few days. In which they were thoroughly treated and deprived of any type of junk food, especially pizza. (A suffering for everyone) At first it was difficult to start eating a strange porridge that a stranger gave them. But after Donnie watched how you prepared it and you explained the benefits of it, it was easier for everyone to eat it. (But none of them liked the taste)
The turtles could only watch that little human walk from one end of the room to the other as he changed bandages, cleaned wounds, even fed each turtle, and sometimes even dragged them to a corner so they could get some sunlight. of a special lamp. (Which Mikey certainly loved)
The most difficult time was cleaning time, needless to say they constantly refused, but after hearing the consequences of poor hygiene for the wounds and shell, they agreed at the end of it all.
° Raph was the hardest to clean up as he constantly complained about how slow you were at cleaning him up. (Prefers water at natural temperature) ° Mikey felt like a King, and he always insisted that he still felt dirt on his shell. (He likes warm water) ° Donnie was the most talkative, although he made a mental note of what you did so he could do it himself in the future. (Prefers cold water) ° Leo is the easiest to clean, once he accepts he puts himself in a position where it is easier for you to clean him. (Prefers hot water)
Once the four turtles' shells were almost completely healed, and his wounds had closed enough to leave. There was only one thing left to do.
L. -We appreciate that you have helped and cared for us during this time- D. -But, we would like to ask you please not to talk about us- Y/N. -Are you talking about how I treated four giant turtles with ninja weapons? No problem.- R. -How are we sure that he won't give us away?- M. -Well, he cured us, I don't know about you, but I felt like a vacation, except for the porridge he fed us- L. -What my brother means is… How can we trust your word?- Y/N. -Veterinarians use our knowledge and skills to protect the health of animals, alleviating their suffering, and not to harm them… I won't say anything, but it's better for everyone to come regularly for a general health check-up.
Needless to say, after that unexpected help. The four turtles regularly visited the veterinary clinic. But someone always ended up being scolded.

Tumblr media
- eyes would widen visibly and face would immediately be swamped in a smirk.
- "oh ho ho, watcha doin' there mama?" he'd coo. grabbing for your bum and giving it a hearty squeeze.
- you'd lean up and brush your lips against his own teasingly.
- giving him a sly smile before slipping away from him.
- "oh no you don't-" before you get the chance to take more than a single step, his hands find you and suddenly you're pressed against his chest again.
- this time mikey places his lips firmly against your own.
- you melt into the kiss and he uses this chance to slide his tongue into your mouth.
- he slips his hands underneath your ass and lifts you up, instinctively you wrap your legs around him.
- when you both pull away from the kiss, panting heavily, he presses his forehead against your own. beaming at you cheekily.
- "do that again, and i'll have to take you to the bedroom." he'd shrug. "not that I'm complaining."
- your eyebrows would raise and a teasing smile would crawl onto your lips.
- "shall we put that to the test, michelangelo?"
- hearing his full name caused him to visibly shiver and he churred.
- if you were alone, he'd take you there, not even bothering to go as far as the bedroom. there was no time for that.
- but if you weren't, he'd take you to his room (or a room void of other people).
- neither of you were quiet.
- and if there were people around, they'd leave so quickly because they knew exactly what was happening.
- he'd praise you left and right, his mouth would never leave you. whether he was kissing your body or your lips. both were good.
- your skin would be littered with bruises from his hands, his mouth, etc.
- not that you minded~
- you'd praise him in return, with your words and your actions.
- he was probably louder than you were.
- but you loved to hear his moans.
- "fuck baby-" was heard A LOT.
- mikey is very submissive and breedable. 👁🫦👁👌✨
- and once you were finished, mikey gave the best after care.
- kisses and snuggles and comfort food. watching a comfort movie/show.
- and you'd probably fuck a few more times after that too.

(AO3)
You often found yourself in Donnie’s lab. You aren’t sure how you kept ending up there, considering there was always shit going on all throughout the rest of the lair and whatever hell broke loose on the surface. Though at the moment, Donnie and you were the only conscious creatures under the city. Donnie’s sleeping schedule was absolute dogshit, and since you knew you’d end up not sleeping anyway, you stayed with him. Most of the time you just watched, and now was no different. He didn’t mind having you around, but would never voice such.
“Hey Dontron,” you began, staring him down as he tinkered with some invention. “You wanna play Mario Kart?” He stopped and looked up at you, confusion plastered to his features. He quickly shook any emotion from his face and went back to work.
“No. I’ve told you before, I have to finish this project.” You consistently tried to get him to stop working and just watch a cheesy horror film from the 80s, or play video games together and drink coffee, but he refused as often as you offered. He looked up again, visible annoyance growing. “And don’t try to talk me into it again. I’m not in the mood.”
You frowned, narrowing your eyes. You turned around, placing a hand dramatically on your chest. Donnie couldn’t see it, but there was a smug grin spread wide across your face.
“Oh you’re right, dear Donatello. Gaming with a master like myself could never be in store for a turtle like you. You certainly wouldn’t want to have your ass handed to you by me again now, would you?” You blinked open an eye, watching him closely out of your peripheral vision.
His eye twitched and he instantly dropped his screwdriver. He glared up at you, basically staring though your soul.
“I’m not falling for your pitiful trickery. You are the one who constantly loses and we both know it.” Donnie picked his tool back up and went back to work. What he was working on was a mystery to anyone whose IQ wasn’t ninety points north of genius.
“Mhm. You’re just terrified of losing. Some fear of yours?” Time for your favorite game: annoy the living hell out of Donnie until he plays video games with you.
“Oh? Is that what you think it is? Fine then, I’ll play your stupid game, and I won’t lose to your dumb ass either,” he retorted, storming past you. He muttered to himself in annoyance, blazing scowl prominent on his face. His feet loudly hit the concrete as he went for the door. He grabbed you by the sleeve and dragged you out of the lab, tossing you and your shit-eating grin into their “common area.” It was surprisingly comfortable for being a cement pit in a sewer, but not incredibly. You landed in the pit with a thud. A satisfied thud.
“Mhm. You’re toootally gonna beat me,” you shot back sarcastically. Donnie semi-violently tossed a controller at you. You didn’t catch it, but he was never violent enough to actually hurt you. He’s too smart for that. You came to the lair often enough to have a controller reserved as “yours.” You didn’t own it, per se, but you used it every time you played on the Switch, and only you. This was a strange, fucked-up family of ninja turtle mutants, their half alien sister, some random punk, and a rat—but it was your family now too.
“You’re always such a pain in the ass…” Donnie scoffed, grabbing his usual controller as well. He slumped down next to you as the Nintendo booted up. He huffed out an angry sigh, staring dead ahead. You both slipped the controller straps onto your wrists. They were a fun new addition, token of Raph’s Mikey-induced black eye (which then led Mikey to having a Raph-induced black eye.)
You shot him a toothy, pompous leer, which only ticked him off more. He bumped into you with his shoulder, shoving your smug ass away from him. His attention zipped back to the television the moment the game loaded. He was under no circumstances going to lose to you. You, being the smug bastard you are, crossed your legs with a flourish and sighed, your mere breath teeming with drama.
“Oh? Is that fear on you I smell? Sweet, sweet Donnie, oh what a fool you are to face me,” you crowed, leaning your back against him. You could feel his body tense at the touch, but he didn’t bother objecting to it. He rolled his eyes, attempting to focus fully on the bright screen before you. It was around the fabricated time of 4 in the morning, the only nearby lighting the TV.
You both played as your usual characters. Donnie made sure you could never unsee Rosalina being a girl boss terrifying goddess of death, and you made Donnie unable to not see Waluigi as some strange queer man who made terrible jokes with the humor of a twelve year old.
When the game was about to begin finally, the two of you stiffened, sitting with hunched over posture and rigid forms. The very millisecond you could, you both hauled ass forward, bashing ruthlessly against whatever or whoever you needed to. Which in truth was mostly each other, but still. No one was safe from your driving wrath. The intense silence in the air air was thick enough to cut, broken only by cartoony game sound affects and your harsh breaths.
You were finally able to strike a lucky block not even a second before Donnie, you managed to regain lead. His breath stopped in his throat at being shoved into second.
“Oh dude- a banana peel!? Really?” Donnie criticized I’m frustration, glowering at you for a split second.
Your heated gaming and “mature” trash talk continued for maybe another hour or two before you were both worn to the bone. The two of you had ended up laying down facing the TV, ankles overlapping each other. At some point you’d gotten cold and grabbed about a million blankets, building a small temple over and around you and Donnie. Both of you could feel your eyes drooping, your skills slowly becoming drowsy and weak.
“Hey.”
“What the hell do you want?” Donnie was exhausted, but not in the slightest less salty than before. A smug smirk grew on your face. You would turn to face the mutant, if there weren’t a massive heap of blankets covering both of you.
“I beat your sorry ass,” you taunted, sticking your tongue out. The turtle couldn’t see any of your expressions, but you could do whatever the hell you wanted. Donnie’s foot hit you in the back of the shin.
“Oh fuck you…” you could almost hear his eye roll. He yawned, causing you to yawn as well.
“No you.” A very mature response from a very mature person. You pulled a blanket over your nose. Your game had timed out by now, the screen frozen in place like a nightlight now. You could feel your eyelids beginning to fall shut.
“Ugh. I’m gonna end you one of these days,” Donnie scoffed out. He yawned again, not being able to stop it. He let his arms fall out to his sides, Nintendo controller clattering softly beside him, not even partially laced with his fingers anymore. “I hate you, you know that?”
“Mhm.” You replied sleepily. You were both moments away from sweet sweet unconsciousness. “Love you too, loser.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A random one shot I made at like. 5 to 7 AM. AO3 liked it so I might as well put it here as well. I have not played Mario Kart since I was six so ignore any inaccuracies.

Horrortober Day 21- Plead(Yandere 2012 Leo x Reader)
A/N, not important: Today and tomorrow stories are probably not gonna be the best, as I'm currently very worked up over school. Sorry for the inconvenience. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
-Ollie
CW: lashings(?), abuse, dark themes, yandere themes
Words: 884
Summary: Leo really starts to crack down on your attitude
“Leo, Leo please, I’m sorry.” You sob, falling over yourself as you try to back away. His face is blank, a stern look in his eyes while he towers over you. He says nothing in response to your cries. They didn’t move him as they usually did, his walls not breaking nor his stern gaze fading. He was serious this time, and no amount of tears would save you.
He leans down and picks you up, his touch gentle despite the circumstances. You flail about in his arms, tears of desperation running down your cheeks. Your pleads and cries don’t phase him still, his blue eyes cold and hard. Maybe you should have thought through insulting him again just a little bit more, but it was too late now. Your words would be your downfall, until you learned to keep them to yourself.
Leo carries you through the lair while you flail and cry, his brothers looking down and ignoring your screams. Their faces were conflicted, feelings of pity and righteousness fighting with their loyalty for their brother. Mikey turns the volume of the TV up, trying to drown out your desperate pleas. While your cries only louden at the show of apathy, you weren't surprised. They had never helped you before, and you doubted they ever would. Not after you became what was essentially their older brother's stress toy.
The short walk to the dojo seems more like you’re being carried to your death, snot and tears mixing on your chin. Leo sets you down on one of the rugs that sits on the floor, his eyes daring you to move. You sink in on yourself, shaking pathetically while you wipe your face with your hands. 
“Please, please I’m sorry. I won’t say it again.” You try again, hoping to appeal to his sense of empathy or compassion that he usually held with you. He sighs, moving closer once he grabs the soft rope and the thin bamboo staff that he used in times like these. He grabs your ankle when you try to crawl backwards away from him, dragging you across the floor to the wall with no care.
Despite not gaining any outward reaction, you continue to beg for forgiveness, digging your hands into his heart and not letting go. You can tell by his face you were starting to get to him, his steady hands gaining a slight shake as he ties the rope to the hook on the wall, then around your wrists. You pull at the ropes in hopes to get your wrist free, but hiss in pain. The knot constricts your wrists as you tug at it, sending splinters of discomfort up your forearms. Leo’s hand settles in the middle of your back, gently shoving you forwards and onto your knees. He keeps your forehead against the wall, your heart thrumming in your chest as you try not to panic. 
You can’t see it, but you can hear the small woosh of the staff cutting through the air before it lands on the back of your calves. You scream at the hit, not caring how pathetic you looked and sounded at the moment. Your only thoughts were of the stinging pain on your legs, and the hope that Leo might take pity on you and stop early.
The staff comes down on your legs eleven more times, each strike pulling a scream from your throat. You were no longer holding yourself up, hanging desperately onto the rope that kept you still. Your pleads and cries morph together, only forming garbled whimpers while you try to process the pain. Leo’s hand comes back to your back, your body recoiling from the touch. You hear Leo sigh before the clatter of the wooden staff being dropped sounds next to you. One arm wraps around your waist the other loosening the ropes and sliding them off your now chafed wrists. He pulls you back, letting you fall against him so he could hold you tight. He doesn’t pay any mind to your weak struggles, his eyes focused on the floor beside your feet. 
“It’s over now.” He mumbles, pressing a kiss to your temple. You only whimper in response, your face still mucky with the residue to your tears. Leo takes a breath, trying to keep himself calm so as to not scare you more. Your legs strung and throbbed, the hot red marks slowly morphing into deep bruises on your legs.
“Promise you won’t misbehave, and I’ll never have to do this again.” Leo says slowly, acting as if this was a normal thing to do. You nod anyways, not caring for the situation enough to fight him on it. You were afraid he’d just start again. Leo smiles, nodding as he pulls you closer to his chest, seemingly relieved at your promised obedience. He hated seeing you cry, even if he was the cause.
Leo shifts you, hooking one arm under your knees and the other under your shoulder blades, carefully lifting you. You wipe your face with your hands, the tears still falling even if the horrid actions ended. Leo tsks, but says nothing, only making the journey back to his room, lightly chiding Mikey to turn the volume back down so he doesn’t ruin his hearing.

My knight in shining shell - 2k12!Leonardo x Reader
GEN
Pairings: Leonardo/Reader
Characters included: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael
Warnings: n/a
Series: No
Summary: Leo is stoic and serious. He needed to be for his brothers and the team. This is just how it worked and honestly he has gotten really good at being the serious leader. But then there was Y/N who just tore that right down to pieces. They were a flirt and somehow they managed to affect Leo. So much so that he began having a serious crush on them. Sadly the flirtiness was only with him, no they did the same with everyone. One moment they flirted with him, which gave him hope on to take that hope and destroy it as they began flirting with someone else. It’s only natural that Leo would get to a point where he needs to tell Y/N to stop.
Word count: 4805
Authors Note: The truth come out, Ramza does not know how to flirt but they tried their best here 😤Also just saying, detailed prompts are always good! It gives the author you request to more to work with! Then again this can depend a bit on the author but I think this is true for a lot
Request: Ohhh requests are open??? How about 2012 leo with a flirty reader. He tries his damn hardest to remain composed and all responsable and leader-like but he just goes full on tomato when reader flirts with him.
Thing is... leo actually developsa crush on reader, but they are a bit flirty with everyone and he is not sure if they really like him back, and is a bit insecure about the whole "stoic boring leader" thing and thinks they would not choose him 
One time they are alone and teasing as usual, but leo can't take it anymore and says to please stop playing with his heart, he can't take it anymore. And reader is like... dude I mean everything I say to you, why do you think I flirt with you the most out of everyone?
Angst with a cute ending hehe 💓 
(Or just flustered leo with a flirty reader, If you don't like detailed prompts?)
(Ps. Could you tag my sideblog @selfship-mishaps if/when you post the request? I would love to see what you write but don't want it to get lost on my dash!)
Being the leader meant for Leo that he needed to be in control. It was his job to ensure that whenever the group was out on missions that everything went along smoothly. He needed to have a plan for every possible situation. Sure, his brothers may joke that he acts way too paranoid or is way too cautious but this way he could ensure that the chances of all four of them returning in one piece was way higher than if they just winged it. Besides he was happy to take on this burden himself. His brothers don’t need to worry about all those things and can instead goof around when the time allows it.
And the older they got the better he has gotten to fall right into his stoic leader persona. Not a single twitch in his facial expression when he dodged the sixth water balloon from Mikey that day.
His brothers have accepted him being the worrywart and stoic brother that he was. After all they grew up with him, they know him better than he might think. They very much realized what kind of burden he laid on himself. In private Leo did enjoy to goof of here and there as well, which especially Mikey took advantage of, though over time even that seemed to lessen.
Raph would sometimes joke that Leo’s face was made out of stone the way he always carried the same expression on his face.
Now for Leo, the chaos of his brothers was a known quantity. At this point he could predict fairly accurately what they were up to and what was going on. It wasn’t hard to steel his emotions and expression when you knew what to expect and after all, he has a ton of training in that regard.
So, when the group got into contact with a new human, Leo was certain he could uphold his typical persona fairly easy. But of course, the universe wouldn’t make it that easy for him, for the universe sent no one else but the agent of chaos right to them.
Y/N was actually quite a normal human. Did alright at school, had a few friends with whom they happily hung out with and loved to read comics in their free time. And yet if you asked the others, they would describe Y/N as someone who believed that life was a game and that they were currently winning it.
It was almost frustrating how easy Y/N managed to befriend everyone.
They were introduced to the group after the turtles saved them and April from some attackers. April has been already good friends with them. The two just randomly met and apparently hit it off immediately. It didn’t take long for Casey to meet them as well and from that on the mention of Y/N became an almost daily occurrence.
April or Casey would stare at their phones, sometimes giggle or roll their eyes only to explain to the turtles that it was “Just Y/N being Y/N”. Of course, the turtles got curious and asked them about this mysterious Y/N who suddenly caught Casey’s and April’s attention so much.
Poor Donnie saw April even less because she met up with Y/N as often as she could. Something about being happy that she had a normal friend as well.
That of course changed when the brothers saved April and Y/N from a Krang attack. April tried to send Y/N away, tell them to flee and that she got it covered but Y/N was stubborn. They tried kicking one of their attackers away only to painfully realize that they were more robust than anticipated.
The turtles dealt with the bots quite easily with the help of April as Y/N just stared mouth agape. As soon as the last one fell to the ground Donnie helped April up on the roof while Mikey grabbed the new human to help them up as well.
There April calmed them down and explained them that friendly turtle mutants exist and that they were good friends of hers. Saying something on the lines of “Remember the friend group I always hang out with and talk about? That’s them.” Which earned herself a bit of a stern stare from Leo.
“Well, what am I supposed to say when I have to randomly run off when I hang out with them. It’s easier to just say that a friend needs my help. Which is usually true, I just omitted some things.”
He couldn’t argue with that. Leo knew that April was in a bit of an annoying position, but she has managed to handle her two different lives as a normal student and as a kunoichi in training surprisingly well, so he felt it was fair to let this go. Besides the cat was definitely out of the bag at this point.
Which reminded him.
Y/N was standing next to April, once they realized that the turtles were friendly and good friends of their friend they definitely relaxed. They even sported a nice and friendly smile as he and his brothers introduced themselves. It spoke volumes about them how they managed to stay calm and even friendly in the night where they suddenly found out that robots with aliens in their bellies existed but also ninja mutant turtles who fought them on the regular.
Mikey was bouncing around, clearly happy since this situation probably meant that they get to have a new human friend. Even Donnie and Raph eyed them curiously.
Leo on the other hand had his typical neutral but stern expression on. He would be more worried about the implications of this situation, but April seemed to trust them with the knowledge of him and his family. But still, he had to ensure his family’s safety.
Taking a few steps closer so he stood right in front of the new human he took a moment to stare blankly into their eyes. Maybe it was a tactic to intimidate them a little, maybe he just wanted to see how they would react. Either way Y/N wasn’t afraid to stare him down right back. The slight grin on their lips didn’t go unnoticed. It made Leo feel like as if they knew exactly what he was doing. As if they could see right through him. He didn’t like that.
“Y/N.” He tried out their name. Even though their eyes were still burning right through him it felt like there was a new glint in their eyes.
“You do not tell anyone about us, if we find out you talked about us to others… I’ll make sure you will regret it.” Okay, sure some might say this was way too aggressive, but this was about the safety of his family. Seeing how his said family didn’t step in, they must have realized his intentions as well.
As a response Y/N laid their hand over their heart “I solemnly swear I will not mention you guys to anyone. I mean who will believe me anyway? Besides you guys saved me, and April seems to like you. Who am I to put my handsome knight in shining shell in more danger.”
That was a… response. It made him stop in his tracks. If he wasn’t already tense this would definitely make him tense.
April couldn’t help herself as she let out a chuckle “You are impossible.” Clearly used to their antics.
Leo just narrowed his eyes “This is serious.”
“And I’m being serious as well! Everything I said I meant wholeheartedly.” Their smile wide accompanied by a wink, clearly referring mostly to the little flirty quip at the end.
Before Leo could retort April just elbowed their side to which Y/N finally relented and sighed.
“I mean it. I won’t tell anyone anything. I don’t want to put you into more danger and from the little bit what April has told me over time I can tell that she trusts you a lot.” Somehow Leo thought it was impossible for them to sound serious but here they were.
Suddenly Leo felt some weight on his shell and Mikey’s face popped up next to him as he was still busy staring down the new human.
“Does that mean they will be a new friend that we can hang out with?”
“I’m not sure. They would be in way more danger if they hung out with us. It would be better if they just continued on and ignored our existence.” Leo replied.
But apparently Y/N had other ideas because they shook their head “Oh no, Blue. You can’t get rid of me that easily now. Any friends of April are my friends.”
Mikey beamed at that, leaning more over his brother as he continued climbing up him. Leo had to move a few steps to the side to keep his balance as Mikey tried to get closer to Y/N yet he still looked at Leo from the side “See! They say we are already friends, Leo!”
“If it helps, Leo, I’ll vouch for them. I honestly believe one of the reasons I wasn’t suspended from school yet for missing classes is because Y/N here managed to come up with excuses for me even without knowing what was going on. I trust them.”
“Only if Sensei is okay with it.” He finally relented.
Y/N and Mikey cheered at that while April happily laid her arm around them. April might have been happy with having a normal friend, but she accepted a long time ago already that her life will never be normal.
Finally, Mikey jumped off his eldest brother to begin talking Y/N’s ears off.
The group led their new friend to the sewers where Y/N met Splinter. Y/N must have noticed how the others held immense respect towards the tall rat mutant since they tried to act as polite as possible. They happily told him who they were and earnestly told him that they will keep their existence a secret. And after April once again vouched for them Splinter happily agreed to let them be apart of the little friend group of his sons.
When he retreated into his quarters Leo’s brothers, mostly Mikey, immediately jumped to get to know the human better. As they begun pulling them along to show off their home, Y/N took a look back towards the leader in blue.
“Seems like we will get to know each other better, Blue.” Another wink and they turned back around to follow Mikey around.
And as Leo felt a tingle in his stomach at their words and behavior, he knew that they would be more trouble than they are worth it.
And trouble they were. Specifically, for him.
The brothers sat around the kitchen table, opening their pizza cartons to finally grab a nice bite to eat after a long training session. Honestly it went better than usual. Even Mikey managed to somewhat focus. Well for a few minutes longer than usual.
It was then that Y/N just waltzed into their lair as if they owned it. They were about to fling themself on the couch but noticed the brothers in the kitchen.
“What’s up, dude! Good timing!” Mikey said, his mouth full with pizza.
Y/N chuckled as they walked into the kitchen, their eyes looking over the pizza boxes “Clearly! Can I get a piece? Pretty please?”
But Mikey put his arm protectively around his box, lightly pushing it away from Y/N a serious frown on his face “Nuh-uh! I worked for this! Should have grabbed some food before coming over.”
Their eyes widened, their mouth playfully turned downwards “Mikey! My pretty best friend! You would starve me?”
“Yep.”
Clearly Y/N couldn’t let this be so their pleading eyes landed on Raph.
“No chance.”
Then on to Donnie.
“Oh no. This is mine. You came in here unannounced that’s what you get.”
And when Y/N’s eyes landed on Leo, he made sure to ignore them. He just kept on eating. It didn’t stop him from feeling warm under their gaze. And while he made a point to not look at them and concentrate on his food, he did notice Y/N stepping closer. From the corner of his eyes, he could see them pout.
As they stood next to him, they leaned closer to him, one hand casually on his shoulder “Come on, Leo. Please?”
“You heard Donnie.” Was all he said.
Now what Leo forgot was that Y/N didn’t know what shame was and honestly, they were way too brave for their own good.
Just as Leo grabbed another pizza piece their own hand landed on his wrist as he was halfway back in the air. Now he couldn’t help but look at Y/N, who had a very smug smile on their face. Not wanting to give them the satisfaction of a reaction, he made sure to steel his expression into his professional neutral one.
As the two stood in this standstill the other three at the table couldn’t help but stare.
Both kept staring at each other. Leo stoically and Y/N smugly.
Once again to Leo it felt like Y/N could see right through him. Through the façade he put on to look stronger more able than he sometimes felt. Though right now he needed it to hide how his mouth suddenly felt dry, how there was an unmistakable heat climbing up his neck as Y/N stood so close to him. He knew they did it on purpose to stand close and press their side against his.
It’s just how they were, he tried to explain to himself. They searched for body contact whenever they could. Grabbing Mikey to dance to the music they randomly put on. Climbing onto Raph’s back as a way to distract him when they played video games. Throwing their arm around Donnie’s shoulders to pull him away from his projects.
He could feel the pull of their fingers against his wrist as they slowly moved his pizza towards them. Taking a huge bite out of it with a grin.
“Thank you, Blue. You’re my favorite for a reason.”
When they suddenly let go of his wrist, he couldn’t help but miss the warmth of their hand. Even while they forcefully had moved his hand so they could take a bite out of his pizza, it was still careful.
“Is… Is Leo blushing? Did Y/N manage to break our fearless leader?” Raph asked. He genuinely sounded impressed.
Leo moved his head away to the side, a frown on his face. He wasn’t blushing! He couldn’t be!
“Wow. Y/N is more powerful than I thought.” Donnie spoke.
Taking in a deep breath Leo tried to calm his heart down, this was horrible. Normally he could hide his emotions well but somehow Y/N really managed to get under his skin.
Speaking of Y/N they placed their hands on his arm, slightly squeezing it “Hey, Leo, come on. Look at me.” Their voice was soft, quiet even as they pleaded to him but even without looking at them Leo could tell that they were still smiling. They were always smiling.
At this point he felt like he had better control of his body, so he turned around, trying to look unamused. Expecting to see Y/N with a Cheshire smile on their face but he instead it was a soft one. There was an emotion hidden there that he couldn’t decipher. Their eyes clearly running over his face, probably trying to find a hint of said blush. Which he of course didn’t have!
“Aw, I wanted to see your blushing face! I bet it looks cute.”
Leo sighed defeated, once again turning away “Just grab a slice already. You won.” The heat exploded on his cheeks at their last comment. He knew it didn’t work like that, but he hoped that his mask would hide his blush.
“I know I just said this but there is a reason you are my favorite. You don’t let me starve.” They made sure to narrow their eyes and look at the other turtles accusingly.
The others didn’t even seem to properly register what Y/N was doing. They were honestly too baffled that this just happened. Getting under the leader’s skin like that so easily was not easy. Actually, they haven’t seen anything like that yet. Not from someone outside the family at least. As his brothers they knew how to push his buttons, but this was new.
Oh, they will be sure to remind him of this until the end of days.
As it turned out though, they didn’t have to do a lot since Y/N had it covered themself.
After the pizza incident they were mostly found around Leo. Throwing themself on his back whining something about wanting to be carried by him. Stealing his food whenever they could. Putting their legs across his lab whenever the group had movie night. And the hugs, there were so many hugs.
And whenever Leo broke out into another blush Y/N would cheer happily and give him compliments about how it apparently suited him.
It didn’t take long for Leo that he had to admit that he developed a bit of a crush on Y/N.
How could he deny that fact for long when there was literally only one thing that managed to break through his leader persona, and he couldn’t help but enjoy it a little bit. At first it was annoying. He needed to be the serious one, he needed to have the control but somehow Y/N just managed to break through that wall so easily again and again.
The problem with admitting that he did indeed have a crush was that he started having hope. Hope was dangerous, especially with Y/N.
Every time they searched for body contact with him, made compliments, flirty quips when they watched him train, he couldn’t help but for the moment think this was something they only did to him. That this meant something more than just to rile him up and see him flustered as his brothers giggled.
But whenever Y/N pulled Mikey along to dance again, interlacing their fingers with his, whenever they asked for a one-on-one training session from Raph with a wink, whenever they told Donnie that they enjoyed listening to his ramblings because they loved his voice, it felt like someone threw ice water onto his head.
A wake-up call from his own rose-tinted dream that he tried to hold on to.
He knew he made it worse for himself as he couldn’t help but enjoy the attention from Y/N and looked for it whenever they came to visit again. At this point he only needed to take one look at them for his heartbeat to pick up. A smile cracking through his façade when his eyes met theirs. His breath hitching when they notice how he looks at them and grace him with that soft smile that he saw so rarely.
And then they turn around and throw a compliment towards one of his brothers which always brought him back down to reality. Reality hurt.
Reality was that Y/N just liked to flirt with everybody. It was just who they were. It was harmless. It meant nothing.
It meant nothing to them. It shouldn’t mean anything to Leo. His mind knew what was going on, but his heart didn’t.
There was no chance that Y/N liked him back anyhow. They were funny, loved to goof off and did everything to liven the place up. He was just the boring leader who looked serious twenty-four-seven and forced everyone else to take everything serious. No, there was no chance that they could feel the same in any way. It was just impossible.
Honestly this was maddening. He tried to work through his frustration with training and meditation, but Y/N invaded his mind even then. Leo had to admit, he was thoroughly screwed.
Leo knew he had to do something about it but what, he didn’t know.
The day came sooner than he anticipated.
He just finished another training session alone when Y/N came into the dojo. Even as brash as they were they knew that the dojo was a bit of a special place. Taking cautious steps towards Leo, searching his eyes for permission.
Leo chuckled “What’s up?” He made a choice to ignore how his heart was thrumming behind his plastron as he saw how Y/N now walked happier over to him. Their hands behind their back as they smiled their soft smile.
Whatever the reason was as to why they came over, he wanted to believe that it was more than boredom that made them choose to look for him specifically. Damn, there he goes again, making life more difficult for himself.
Y/N shrugged but the glint in their eyes told him they had a specific agenda “Oh, I don’t know. Heard that you were training and thought I could maybe watch but apparently you are done already. Bad timing on my part.”
“You know how often you watch us train you might as well join us.”
“Oh, what? Then I have to save my sorry butt myself! Why save myself if I could just wait for my blue knight in shining shell come and sweep me off my feet.” They sighed dramatically, laying the back of their hand on their forehead.
Leo narrowed his eyes at that. Of course, he would come and save them whenever they are in trouble, but he would do this for all his friends. Y/N wasn’t special at all, yep.
Y/N giggled stepping closer, playfully poking him once at the top of his plastron “Don’t look like that, Blue. If I remember correctly when we met it was you who carried me while you all sailed along the roofs to bring me to your lair. What can I say, I got addicted. I mean who wouldn’t be when a guy just casually picks you up and safely carries you like it was nothing.”
“Can you just… stop.” His voice was quiet, yet it made Y/N stop blabbering while he was surprised himself. It just left his mouth, betraying what went through his mind. He needed this to stop, this false hope was painful.
“Not liking compliments today?” Y/N clearly tried to alleviate the awkward air that suddenly surrounded the two. Their eyes looked over him quizzically.
Leo gulped, noticing how his mouth was suddenly dry, something that happened way too often around them “I-“ It was his chance to finally set things right and get rid of this knot in the pit of his stomach.
Y/N cocked their head to the side “I know you are the serious one, but I really don’t like this frown on your face. I prefer a smile on it. Tell me what is going through your mind, Leo.” They rarely called him that, opting to calling him Blue most of the time.
Their hands tentatively traveled to his hand, squeezing it. It was their way to encourage him. After all they were very much the touchy type.
He sighed, trying to breath out the nervousness that encompassed him “I just can’t keep dealing with this. I don’t think you notice the way you are playing with my heart and it’s just-“
This might be the first time Leo saw Y/N almost mirror his serious expression “You need to talk to me otherwise I can’t help you.”
They were right.
This time Leo didn’t mind that he could tell that he was blushing, he needed this to stop. He couldn’t concentrate anymore but he needed to.
“Your compliments… your flirting is what the problem is. I care for you. A lot. And every time you throw these compliments at my head my heart skips a beat! At first, I was just embarrassed but the way- how easily you can just get to me… I fell for you, Y/N and every time you flirt with me only to turn around to do the same with others.” He sighs again “It hurts. I need you to stop playing with my heart like this. I can’t concentrate anymore. Just- Just stop this with me, please. I know this doesn’t mean anything to you but to me you give me hope only to tear it into pieces the next moment. I tried ignoring it, but I can’t anymore.”
Then there was quiet.
Y/N just kept staring into his eyes as he tried to stand his ground.
Leo just told them exactly how he felt but it was needed. He couldn’t do this any longer.
His face was ablaze, and he could tell that he began to sweat due to his nerves. Leo tried to untangle his hand with that of Y/N’s but they just squeezed his hand again, laying their other hand on top of his. The warmth was welcoming but at the same time it felt like it was burning him. He wanted to retreat, just get out of this situation, and forget this has happened but Y/N held him firmly in this place.
But what really made him stop trying to get out of their grasp were their eyes. The soft smile, a crinkle around their eyes as their smile seemingly reached their beautiful eyes. Though what surprised him was the unmistakable blush that was on their cheeks. It positively sucked all the air out of his lungs.
He could cry, he wanted all of this to stop but somehow it just got worse.
“Yeah, you are right. Only partially though. I am a flirt. It’s how I show I care for people, it’s just my go to reaction but the problem with that is when I really mean it… I guess it comes over as my usual self.” They chuckled nervously.
“Y/N?” his voice was wavering.
“It means that when I flirted with you, I actually meant it for once. Maybe I thought you could tell that I was flirting with you more than the others because I care for you. I think, the moment I met you I began having a crush on you. I never wanted you to feel this pain. The first time I saw your blushing face I knew that I had it bad for you.”
To say the least, this was not what he expected.
Leo expected that they might try to talk their way out of this. Say something that he should loosen up but this? Never. Maybe only in his dreams but that was that. Dreams.
“You mean that?” He flinched at the crack of his voice, suddenly feeling more like a child than a ninja that beat up all kinds of foes on the daily.
Y/N let go of his hand, sad at the sudden loss of contact once again. But their hands landed on his shoulders, pulling him closer against them in a hug. It wasn’t the first hug but this time it felt more genuine, more loving, more intimate.
They slowly moved a step back to snake their hands over to grasp his face softly between their soft hands. Leo involuntarily leaned more into their touch.
Seeing this as a good sign, Y/N smile and moved up to meet his lips in a chaste kiss. Their lips soft as they hesitantly brushed against his. It felt like he got electrocuted. Not believing what was happening. His heart felt like it exploded in his chest. The butterflies in his stomach seemed to have multiplied.
“Does this answer your question?” They looked confident but the waver in their voice betrayed their own nerves.
“I- I think so…”
“Okay, then if you can tell what I’m feeling for you now let me just say this. I’m sorry for doing this to you. I never meant to play with your emotions like that. I realize now how this all must have looked towards you and I’m really, really sorry.”
This time it was Leo who softly leaned over to catch Y/N off guard with a kiss. Where this sudden confidence came from, he didn’t know. Maybe it was all the frustration that has build up over the months.
“I think I can forgive you.” He chuckled. Immense relief rushing over him. “But…”
“But?”
“Maybe keep your attention from now on me only?”
This made Y/N laugh, it was a beautiful laugh that seemed to wash away any of the rest of the thick air that was still surrounding them “Oh, happily! How can I not! I have my handsome prince charming right here.”
And this time with this simple flirt, it felt correct. There wasn’t a heaviness, there was just the heat that laid across Leo’s cheeks while his heart tried to jump out of his chest. And dare he, he even allowed a huge smile to crack through on to his face.

I was snapped out of my trance by the spark of electricity that shot through me. I let out a scream as I leaped on top of a car, pulling my bow back and releasing an arrow into a Foot Clan soldiers head. I tried to look through the smoke, but it was just too thick. I growled, looking back down at the Foot soldiers who had surrounded the car. I jumped down, knocking multiple of the soldiers down with my bow. I pulled back, whipping around as I heard heavy footsteps getting closer, before I could think I had ducked to the ground as a car went flying over my head. I scrambled up, leaping at the form that had thrown the car.
" Wha— HEY! GET OFF! SHE'S ON MY FACE! " I landed a hard punch to the creatures' face as I leaped back. I hissed, drawing my bow as he shook off the blow. I aimed, letting out a breath as I released the arrow, It shot right into his side, and he let out a roar of pain. I quickly scrambled back, booking it for safety.
" MIKEY?! MIKEY?! " I yelled out for him, my panic causing my heart to race as I searched around the smoke-filled streets as I dodged the Foot Clan. I tried to scramble up the fire escape but was yanked back down.
" Ohh no you don't kitty. You not getting away this time! " He growled, tusks meeting my ear as he held me up by my hair. I twisted around as I got my footing, landing a kick to his stomach, causing him to drop me. I scrambled for safety as I heard the familiar sound of electricity sparking at the end of their batons. My ears pressed against my skull as I leaped to my feet and away from the mutants. I hopped onto cars to dodge them as they tried to zap me. I hissed, knocking the Foot Clan down with my bow and then shooting arrows at the mutants that came charging at the car. Before I could react, the car I was perched on was flipped into the air. I screamed as I went flying into the street, I gasped for air as I jumped up and towards the buildings. I was dragged down and thrown back into the street. My mind was swirling as I tried to figure out what to do, but my thoughts were quickly shut off by the pain of electricity coursing through my body. I writhed in pain as I was poked and prodded with the electric batons. My eyes clouded with tears of pain as I pushed myself up, and I attacked the taller mutant. I grabbed the horn on his face and used to shove him to the ground as I flipped over him. As soon as I landed, I was running again. My breaths became panicked as I heard the pounding footsteps of the two mutants behind me. I tried to run but was stopped by a sharp kick to my side that sent me flying. I whimpered, trying to pull myself back up from the concrete as I felt blood drip down my face, blocking my vision. I was hit with a nauseating wave of electricity as foot soldiers gathered around me. All I could do was writhe and scream in pain on the hard ground as I heard the pounding footsteps get closer. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping for a quick death.
" We gotta go. The turtles are here. " I shakily pushed myself up, growling at the mutants who stood before me. If I could just hold them off long enough, I would be fine.
" You just don't give up, do you? " The smaller one laughed as they each grabbed one of my arms. I kicked and tried to grab onto anything I could, but it wasn't working. I growled, panic and fear boiling in my stomach as I bit down hard onto one's arm. He screamed, dropping me to the ground. I shakily pushed myself up and hissed, trying to pull my bow out, only to realize I must have lost it in the fight. I balled my fists, taking a shaky stance as they came closer. My thin figure towered over them as they loomed closer. I growled, leaping at the smaller one, I wrestled him to the ground as he yelped in pain each time I landed a shaky hit.
" DUDE- SOMEONE- GET. HER. OFF! " He growled, and suddenly I was thrown off. I pushed myself to my feet, wiping the blood away that was running down my face as I did. As they ran at me, my eyes widened with panic. I tried to stumble back but wasn't able to as they landed hits all over me. My face. My sides. My stomach. I fell to the floor, head swirling in pain as they dragged me somewhere. I screamed as someone stabbed an electric baton into my sides. I couldn't think, each time I started to I was met with a horrific wave of electricity that sent me back to square one. I was thrown into the back of a van as the two mutants climbed in after me, batons in hand. I let out a growl as I tried to get up but was shoved back to the floor by a large hand on the back of my head. I yelped in pain as my face was slammed against the metal floor of the van.
" No no little miss. You stay right there. " I let out a groan of pain as I felt more blood run down my face.
" Be nice back there, Stockman will have both your heads if you kill his newest experiment. " Someone from upfront said coldly, causing the two mutants to groan in annoyance.
" We ain't gonna' kill 'em! Just, y'know, ruff 'em up! " There was a shared laughter as the two high fived. I slowly was regaining my thoughts as the swirling of my head went away, but I stayed on the floor, silently listening for anything useful. At the turn of the van, I jumped up, throwing myself at the doors. They didn't budge. Locked. I yelped as I was grabbed by the hair again and thrown down as the baton's came to life. I desperately fought to get the two off of me as they held me down, tying my arms behind my back and tying my feet before stabbing the batons into me. I screamed as the waves of sickening electricity coursed throughout my body, my head was swirling so much I couldn't even move or make a noise anymore. Instead, I just lay on the cold floor, groaning in pain each time I was shocked. It must have become uninteresting because they eventually stopped and sat down, leaving me to slowly lose consciousness.
* * *
Mikey was unusually silent as the group returned to the lair as the other three ran to the computers. Donnie quickly typed something, the clicking echoing through the deafening silence of the lair as Leo towered over his sitting figure. There was footsteps as Splinter joined Mikey, who was pacing in the common room.
" What has happened, my sons? "
" Stockman got Lilith. " Leo answered coldly, his eyes never leaving the screen in front of him and Donnie.
" Because someone can't follow DIRECT ORDERS!" Leo snapped, glaring at Mikey as Donnie typed furiously. Raph let out a sigh as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
" I got a location on some foot clan vehicles heading... towards the old warehouse. " Donnie quickly typed some more as the brothers gathered over him.
" I got the warehouse location. Let's go! "
* * *
I slowly blinked, the fuzzy sounds of talking meeting my ears. I groaned, trying to move but was stuck in place by metal arms. I looked around, desperately looking for an escape. I fumbled with the restraints as someone walked in front of the glass box I was trapped in. I hissed, lunging at the glass as they laughed. It was the two mutants from early. I winced as I was yanked back by the metal arms.
" I wouldn't move too much, wouldn't want to stab the wrong place." The man grinned as he walked behind me, I growled as I tried to turn my head to see what he was doing. My thoughts were cut short as something was stabbed into my back, I let out a yelp of pain as the sound of machines whirring and clicking started up as the man returned to his computers. I panted, vision growing blurry as I hung there.
I blinked as someone started to beat on the glass.
" Hey! Hey! We are gonna get you out, don't worry. " I blinked even quicker as my eyes filled with tears.
" Kxäaw..? How did you - " I winced as a pulsing wave of electricity shot through my body. I let out a blood-curdling scream of pain as tears streamed down my face as I shook violently. I heard people yelling and beating on the glass as my vision blurried from pain, I couldn't think, couldn't.... couldn't breathe...
* * *
The brothers were halted in their actions as the glass box Lilith was in lit up with electricity. Mikey and Raph ran back over, trying to break the glass as she slowly went limp. Donnie was horrified as Leo tried to get him back on task.
" DONNIE! FOCUS! WE GOT TO SHUT IT OFF! " He barked, pushing his brother to where the computer and Stockman was. They both ran towards the computers as Stockman disappeared somewhere with the two other mutants. Donnie was quickly typing but stopped, turning to stone as he caught sight of Lilith mutating as the electricity halted.
She twitched, a snout growing from her mostly flat face as he arms split into two pairs. Her tail tripled in size as it grew to be paddle-like. Three armor plates sprouted from each side of her face, each having two sensory quills as fangs jutted out of her mouth. She shuttered, bright yellow eyes flying open as Mikey paused his punching. She lunged forward, ripping the wiring and metal arms down as she crashed through the glass. She let out what could only be described as a roar mixed with a scream of pain as she pinned the small terrapin. She snapped at his face like a wild animal as he pushed her back. She was dragged off by Raph as he tried to distract her from the terrified Mikey as he got up. She whipped around, growling as she crouched onto all fours.

Tumblr media
" W-what– " Leo started to say.
" SHE'S MUTATED. " The stripe tailed mutant, a raccoon, jumped down from the piping, holding a chain that they were swirling around.
" We need to turn her back, or she'll kill all of us. " It explained, glancing at the masked purple mutant as he went to work to try and retrieve Stockman's files to find a cure. Leo joined beside her; katanas drawn as Lilith turned to face them. She panted, letting out a roar as she leapt at the two mutants. The stranger, who was dressed in foot clan gear, threw the chain. It wrapped around Lilith's midsection and lower arms. She quickly spun, sending the stranger flying across the warehouse as she wiggled out of the chain. Raphael jumped onto her, trying to keep her down as she growled and clawed at him. She was able to grab his shell, throwing him off with one swift motion as she jumped up onto all fours, tail swiftly hitting the chain away as she stood up onto two feet. Leonardo ran at her as Mikey joined him.
" Woah there Princess! Hey? Can you hear me in there? " Mikey asked as he dodged her outstretched claws. She hissed in response as she leapt onto him, sending him flying as he twisted around so that his shell was up. She growled as Leo drove her away from his brother with some well-placed kicks and blocks. As he went to swing his katanas, she grabbed them and knocked them out of his hands. She jumped onto him, biting at his neck and face as he tried to shove her back. Just as her jaws were about to clamp down on his face, she was yanked off my Raph and the stranger. She leapt for the stranger, who quickly dodged as Mikey joined Raph. She quickly crouched down, staring silently at the two. She growled if they shifted even the slightest, staring the two down as she began to circle them.
" Looks like she's calming d– " Mikey started, only to be cut off as Lilith jumped into his back, sending them both flying. She stood up on two feet, one planted on the back of the smallest mutant, pushing him down into the ground as his shell let out a strained crack.
" This isn't good." Mikey wheezed out as Raph and Leo came running at Lilith.
" LILITH! " She whipped her head around to see who had yelled. She took her foot off Mikey as Donnie nervously stepped closer, bò at the ready.
" I know you're in there. You just need to calm down so I can get you the antidote. " He slowly stepped closer; she eyed him wearily as she stepped away from Mikey. He was almost in range to give her the antidote when Leo moved closer too quickly. She whipped around, leaping at the eldest of the brothers. They tumbled closer to the tank as she bit down into his arm that he used to block her from biting his neck. The brothers quickly rushed forward, Donnie raised his bò above his head and slammed the electric end down right in between Lilith's shoulder blades. She let go of Leo and let out a wail as the electricity shuttered through her body. She fell to the side, writhing in pain as the electricity slowly disappeared from her body. Donnie quickly gave her the re-engineered mutatagin as Mikey and Raph held her down. She struggled, growling and snapping for a few moments until she let out a wheezing breath and went limp. Slowly, Mikey and Raph let her go, but she stayed silent as her body started to transform back to normal.
* * *
I groaned, rolling over onto my back as my swirling brain fell back into place. Everything hurt, and my ears were ringing as my vision came back.
" Hey, hey, can you hear me? Lilith? " I winced as my hearing came back to me.
" Ouch... " I whimpered out as someone rolled me over onto my side.
" Is your friend alright? "
" She'll be fine– wait, who are you? "
" Nobody important, I'll be off now. Might wanna leave before the foot get back. "
" Wait!- You obviously don't fight with the foot, why don't you join us?" Leo jumped up as Raph shot him a glare.
" Really?- I uh-, okay then. I'll join your little rag-tag group. Names Mila. " She grinned slightly, calmly walking back over and crouching next to Lilith and Donnie.
I let out a groan as I reached my hands up.
" What... what happened..? "
" We'll figure that out later. For now, we need to get going before the antidote wears off. " Donnie said as he typed something onto the tablet on his shoulder. He looked at Leo, who was staring down at Lilith and the new mutant.
There were heavy footsteps as Dr. Stockman returned, holding a canister of mutagen in his hands carefully as Bebop and Rocksteady stood to his sides.
" Well, I was hoping she would finish you off for me. But I guess we'll have the fun of doing that, huh boys? " Stockman cackled as everyone's eyes widened in fear or anger.
I groaned as I was hosted up into the air carefully by someone.
" I've got your friend, I'll get her to safety, then I'll help you guys beat these assholes. " She growled, glaring at the mutants standing next to Stockman. Donnie was quickly at her side, showing her a map on his phone as Raph, Mikey, and Leo drew their weapons.
" Take her here. We have some friends who can take care of her till we get back. " He paused as he quickly looked me over one last time. She started to carry me away. I shoved myself out of her grasp, shakily standing up as she tried to get me to go with her as the brothers faced off against Bebop and Rocksteady. I winced, shuttering as my arms split into two pairs. I hunched over as I continued to mutate, my armor plates coming back, and my tail flicking harshly as I panted from pain. I closed my eyes tightly as I took a shuttered breath as the new mutant crouched next to me.
" We have to go! You are injured! " She pleaded as I pushed myself off the ground.
" Can't... family.. needs.. help.. " I growled as I stood up, tail lashing as I caught sight of Stockman making a run for it. I leapt for him, quickly clearing the space between us as he screamed. The mutagen crashed out of his hands as I plowed into him. I jumped for it, catching it in one hand as I whipped my head around towards him. He huddled on the floor as I towered over him, I dropped down to all fours as I crept closer. I lunged out of the way of Bebop, who was being chased by Leo and Donnie. I quickly jumped into the piping, hiding the mutagen and jumping back down onto Rocksteady's back as he chased Mikey under me. I roared, clawing at his face as he grabbed for me. He got a hold of my queue and threw me off of him as Mikey and Raph continued to attack him. I growled, jumping up as Mila joined me in my pursuit of Stockman, who was running for his life. I was quickly on top of him and tumbling forward as we hit the back wall of the warehouse. There was a crunch as I grabbed harshly onto his arms. I looked down, seeing one of his arms limp in my hand as he kicked at me. I threw him across the room like a ragdoll as I jumped out of the way of RockSteady, who came charging at me. I hissed in pain as I stepped into a pile of broken glass. Rocksteady quickly turned and charged for a distracted Mila as she followed after Stockman. I jumped up, throwing my full body weight at Mila to get her out of the way. I was thrown into the wall with a crunch as my arm, which I had tried to brace the impact with, broke. I let out a wail of pain as I staggered to my feet, Raph was at my side before I could register who it was.
" You alright there? " I nodded with a growl as I leapt for the mutant again, throwing him backward as we tumbled out of his grasp. I quickly jumped out of the way as he crashed in the wall, I glanced over at Mila, who had joined Donnie and Leo in their fight against a retreating Bebop. I turned back around as Rocksteady staggered up, also retreating after grabbing Stockman from the floor. I growled as I stood up on two feet, letting out a snort as I turned around.
" Woah there- can you control yourself? " Donnie piped up as the adrenaline started to wear off.
" yeah... very tiring.. " I mumbled out as he stepped closer, eyes glowing with curiosity.
" That must mean that it was electrical current that made you go feral. " He stated as I started to sway slightly.
" That's real interesting Donnie, but I think she's gonna– " My knees buckled, cutting Raph off as I started to drop to the floor.
" Woah there, falling down again so soon? " I looked up tiredly at who had caught me. It was Mila, she held me steady as Raph came to my other side.
" The mut– "
" I got the mutagen to Donnie. " Mila stated quickly, I let out a sigh of relief as everything went blurry.
* * *
The next thing I knew, I was being gently placed into a bed, and I groaned in pain. My whole body felt like knives were embedded in it.
" I know, just hold still, I'll get you something for the pain, " I recognized the voice as Donnie's as his footsteps disappeared.
" You sure put up a fight. " Raph joked as I tried to pull myself up.
" Where.. where is Kxäaw.. "
" Who? "
" K-kxäaw... brother.. " I groaned as I pulled myself up. He tried to stop me as I tried to drag myself off of the bed.
" Woah there tiger, you need to stay here. " He said as I was pushed back down. I slowly regained my vision as Donnie returned, with a syringe of something. My eyes widened as he put it into the IV that was stuck into my arm.
" This should help with the pain. " Donnie quickly said as he caught my scared eyes. I gulped dryly and nodded. I sat up, swaying slightly as Raph held me up by my shoulders.
" What happened...? " I muttered, slowly looking up at Raph.
" You and stupid out there snuck out to go to a Halloween parade and the Foot ambush ya'll. " Raph explained as I winced in embarrassment.
" Is Mikey okay? " I looked around quickly.
" Ya' that idiot is fine. You, on the other hand, are not." Raph stated.
" Oops? " I grimaced as Donnie and Raph both glared at me.
" Sorry... Everyone okay? "
" Yeah - well, except for Leo, you bit the shit outta-" He was cut off as Donnie cleared his throat and motioned to me as my eyes grew wide.
" What..? " He grimaced as he realized he had said too much.
" But he's fine! It was just a scratch..! " He tried to explain as my stomach twisted into knots.
" Where Leo? "
" On the couch with Mikey, but you should really-" Donnie started as I pulled myself out of the bed shakily. I wobbled as my knees buckled under my weight, but I caught myself with the bedside table as I steadied myself. Raph was quickly by my side as I leaned onto him for support as I wobbled towards the exit. Donnie trailed behind us, looking annoyed and worried with the IV pole in hand. I noticed my bottom right arm was bandaged tightly to my midsection, and my other three were covered with cuts when I went to lean onto the door frame. I winced, looking down at my bandaged feet as I started forward again.
" Leo, you got a visitor, " Raph gruffly said as Leo sat up from the couch.
" Damn you look ruff. " I cocked my head slowly to see Casey standing with Mila and April, who was staring silently as Mila looked me over with a worried expression.
" Thanks.. " I hissed sarcastically at Casey as I turned back to Leo, who had gotten up and walked over.
" Woah, you need to go lay down. " He said as he looked over me, wincing at my injuries.
" I... I'm sorry... Hurt family. " I apologized softly as tears of pain and guilt welled in my eyes. His eyes softened from worry to pure sympathy as I spoke. I put a gentle hand on his bandaged arm as tears poured out of my eyes.
" Hey, look at me, " I looked down, wiping my face instinctively.
" It's alright, it'll heal. We are just glad you're alive. " My bottom lip quivered as he spoke. He hugged me gently as Raph let me go into his grasp. I started to shake as soft sobs escaped my lips, my knees buckled as my ribs ached. I groaned in pain with each sob, and Donnie was quickly at my side along with a very worried Mikey.
" You okay there princess? " Mikey said as Leo gently let me into Donnie's grasp so he could look me over. I nodded, wincing with pain as Donnie reached the bruised spot at my ribs.
" Good god. You need to lay down, " He said quickly, causing everyone to look at him with fear.
" What's wrong with her? "
" She's got a couple of broken ribs that I missed in the initial exam. Probably internal bleeding. " He said worriedly as I let out another hiccupping sob. I was quickly scooped up into someone's arms. I winced in pain as I was taken back to the medical room.
" I got ya' princess. " My ears twitched at the voice. It wasn't Mikey. I looked up with another hiccupping sob at Mila, who looked down at me with worry and sympathy. I winced, burying my face in the crook of her neck with a whine of pain as we made it to the room. She gently placed me on the bed as Donnie quickly started to place ice packs on my ribs. I let out a groan as I started to black out again.

" We can't just leave those two here with Splinter alone. " Raph growled in the circle of brothers.
" For all we know, she could be a spy or something!" He continued as Leo spoke up, glancing at the room where the two other resided.
" One of us could stay here, I know dad can handle himself, but it'll be better with one of us here. " The other three brothers nodded in agreement as Casey and April joined them.
Mila let out a sigh as she sat in a chair beside Lilith's bed, watching the sleeping alien silently.
" I'm.. I'm so sorry. " She mumbled out as she took her limp hand.
" I didn't know they were.. " She paused, lips pursing into a thin line as she glanced over the beaten body of the passed out, mutant alien.
" Evil.. " She sighed deeply, laying her head in her hands as her tail swished around nervously.
" Thank you.. for saving me. " She whispered, glancing up at the moving chest of Lilith, which was the only thing that showed she was still alive. Someone cleared their throat harshly, causing Mila to jump up with a startled gasp.
" Didn't mean to scare ya'. " Raph quickly stated as he took a seat on the other side of Lilith's bed.
" It's all good. Would you like me to leave?- " She questioned as Raph let out a sigh.
" No, you can stay if ya'd like. " He stated gruffly, glancing up as Mila watched Lilith nervously.
" How did she.. get here? " She softly asked, looking up at Raphael.
" No idea. Don says a portal of some sort. " He answered quickly as Mila raised an eyebrow curiously.
" She's from a universe where Pandora, the planet from some movies made here, is real. " He explained simply as he caught a glimpse of Mila's guilty expression.
" But you knew that, didn't you? " He stopped, looking over at Mila as she slowly nodded.
" Yeah.. " She mumbled with a sigh as she sank back into her chair.
" I was guarding the lab when they opened the portal... "
