Chapter 2 Part 2

Beads of sweat slipped down Mikey’s head. ‘What kind of sick joke was this? Why are they so scared? What’s wrong?’

“Guys?” He managed to say as his brothers stilled stared in terror. Donnie looked back and forth between the twins looking for a cue to do something. Anything. But nothing seemed for certain.

“M-Mike” Donnie managed to gasp trying to do anything to unfreeze this moment of horror for him and his brothers.

Just as Mikey stepped forward, the dark figure behind him pulled him back. They wrapped their arm around his chest in a headlock and grabbed a small device with the other. The figure plunged the device against Mikey’s neck causing him to scream in agony, pain, and fear. “Mikey!” His brothers shouted as they ran toward him. But they were stopped by more masked and cloaked figures coming from every direction.

As they fought valiantly to save their brother, a bright flash seemed to knockout their sense and force them onto their hands and knees.

Leo heard muffled voices behind him. He tried to make sense of them but all he could hear was the loud ringing and blurred sounds that embraced his world.All he could make out was this.

“W---on’t ha----me--or- -is jus---ake th --mal ne--nd--o!”

When Leo came to his senses ,all he could see was the empty rooftop containing only him, Raph, and Donnie. “What happened?” he groaned as he gripped his throbbing head. He looked to see Donnie struggling to find his glasses and immediately rushed to help after seeing his bruised hand. “Oh geez. Don are you ok?” He asked helping his little brother up as his mind slowly cleared.

Guys? Raph said still recovering from the flash.“Wait! where’s Mikey!!”

Sorry for taking so long to post after the cliffhanger but I guess I just left you an even bigger one

Chapter 4 Part 2

Leo walked through the school.

Taking deep breaths and rethinking how he was going to break the news to April. She should understand right? And if anything she should be able to help. The two had recently been tracking the new streams of crimes as a side hobby from trying to find TCRI. Maybe that has something to do with this.

‘Or maybe I’m just being hopelessly optimistic again.’

Leo slumped a little as he stood right by the doorway to his homeroom. His back was figuratively and literally against the wall.

‘Man I could really use you right now Mikey.’

He felt a tear trying to protrude the wall he set up so perfectly to block his emotions. Nope. none of that.

He used his shoulder to wipe his eye readjusting his backpack and walked to the back of class. That where they usually sat and discussed things with April and helped each other with school at the beginning of the day. But mainly for April to have her annual info dump.

‘She was probably waiting their for us for a whi- WHOS THAT!’

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

After 3 days of hanging out April had become great friends with Karai. Once you broke through the sarcastic teenagers gruff exterior she can become quite the fun friend. Turns out it also helps when the casual jerk tries to mess with you.

Just the other day Karai helped April out of a bit of a situation. The two friends were walking to class when they were confronted by everyone’s favorite loser Sid Goto. Him and his friends Tsoi and Fong came to together to create the purple dragons. Though they sound threatening it’s all just a front. They don’t usually do anything other than cause the occasional hallway fight only to get their buts wupped and sent to detention. When they tried to pick on the two girls, Karai sent their backs flying into the lockers and Sid’s face into the ground.

“Mark my words you two bitches are gonna pay for that.” He said spitting the blood that dripped from his nose and mouth. “Stand up.” Karai growled as she kicked him square in the face. “And make us.” She continued down the hall before turning her head around and continuing. “And by the way. Call my friend and I a bitch again and I’ll shove your foot up your own ass.”

So that was when April decided that she was a keeper. While she let the boys take a break from listening to her rants she spent time with Karai.

“Hi April.”

Leo spooked her when she heard his voice.“Oh sorry I didn’t know you were there.” She said embarrassed by her reaction. “Oh I guess I haven’t introduced you two. Leo this is Karai. She’s new here. Karai this is Leo. As you probably guessed he is a turtle mutant and a friend of mine.”

Much to April and Leo’s surprise, Karai kept the same dulled face and voice she must have been born wearing. “New York. What a town.” She replied.

Leo gawked at the strange new girl in surprise to her reaction. Usually in this scenario it was the other way around. But no this girl was different. And Leo didn’t know if he was making this up but something felt familiar about her. About her voice.

‘Remember you have a job to do and it’s not to try and intimidate April’s new friend.’

“Hey April. We kinda need to talk.” He said trying not to let his emotions take hold. But this time it wasn’t feelings of sadness or grief but rather embarrassment and shyness. Leo had always been interested in April ever since the night Raph threw a ninja star at her.

“Ok? Let’s talk.” April said confused. Her and the boys talked all the time. Speaking of where are the rest of Leo’s brothers?

“Privately.” Leo couldn’t blame her for not knowing but he was really antsy to get this over with. He was now squeezing her wrist hoping it would bring on a sense of urgency.

“Ok. Sorry Karai. But this is kinda personal I guess.” Though she was nervous and now realizing how quickly Leo needed her, she had to make sure she wasn’t ditching her other friend. April always held her friends and family first. Trying to help keep them together.

“No problem just make sure you help me in English. I do NOT need to hear about Ms Gord’s cats without you again.” Karai said.

April gave her a thumbs up and then let Leo rush her to the extra gym lockers. That was where they went for serious private talks. Stuff only April and Leo could talk about. Though it smelled like sweat and the death of a hundred high schoolers it was deemed private and sacred for the duo.

“All right. What’s going on? And while I’m asking questions where are your brothers?” April asked this with caution she could feel the turtles trembling as she gripped his shoulder knowing that was when she had to prepare for emotional support.

Leo knew this is what would have to happen. But for some twisted reason he still wasn’t prepared for this.

‘C’mon this is just like a needle. A small prick and then done. Just a small short sentence.’

“Last night we were on the rooftops and-” he could feel his voice turn to croaks as April squeezed harder. “It’s Mikey. He um- he’s- well-”

Leo couldn’t do this. He held this up inside for to long. No matter how much he wants to keep it all in his sobs escaped with ease. Tears streamed down his face. How could he act like this was fine. Everyone is scared and hurt and he can’t do anything. He’s so scared and alone.

“Hey it’s ok. Whatever happened he’s got you guys to take care of him.” April saw this coming from a mile away.

“But we CAN’T help him.” Leo sobbed

“Wait what do y-”

“April they took him!”

That may have been one of the longest things I had to write on tumblr. Hope you like it. 👍

Chapter 5 Part 2

Leo and April just sat there.

In the pounding silence of the post school hours in Eastman High.

‘Their back. Somehow they did it again.’

Leo could only think, could only live in those long hours of having to hear his brothers screaming. He screamed too. The sharp zaps of the electrocuting cuffs that pinned him onto the awful machine meant to only cause pain and suffering suddenly became more and more reminiscent. He had always hated that feeling. Being held like that. Against your will. When the people in him and his brother’s favorite tv shows got captured or a criminal was arrested, he couldn’t help but feel the phantom pain that his thoughts created. None of that prepared Leo for the tight cuffs that made his hands go numb and so pale that they almost turned white.

She knew. That horrible old witch knew what pained she caused them. With her polished yellow suit and her horrifying eyes that looked like they could cut through men ten times easier than Leo’s katana. She had the power to control what they went through and instead of using it for good she made sure that night was a night none of the brothers would soon forget. And what was even worse, she could do all over again. TCRI had Mikey. And he was alone. That jar that made the ceiling look like it touched the sky was way too much for Mikey to live the rest of his life filling let alone with his brothers combined.

He needed to tell Raph and Donnie. Leo had to at least let them know. Even if they couldn’t help him, Leo had tell someone in is family. This was something he could never tell his dad. He was absolutely furious when he freed the turtle brothers from that building. And they’re pretty sure it was over them disobeying him. Mostly. Leo watched that katana blade as it sliced through the guards, causing blood to stain the blades.

“I have to go.”

Leo swiftly slung his backpack onto his shoulder and dashed to the door. Every second counts. April could barely stop him before he went too far.

“Wait!”

Leo paused and turned around. April was grabbing his arm. His look of determination and shear desperation made April realize he needed to do this. And his brothers needed the help. Her gaze softened as she moved to his hand loosening her grip.

“Tell your brothers I said Hi. A-And sorry for this whole situation.”

Leo calmed at her voice and put on his best performance as gentle strong leader/big brother. He couldn’t be scared. He wouldn’t. “Thanks.” He said calmly.

Then he dashed through the door and out of Aprils sight. She stood there at the door before starting her new research project on TCRI.

Moments later her news apps all seemed to ping at the same time.

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

When Leo made it to the entrance of the lair, he needed a quick second before embracing the chaos or rather lack there of in his home. ‘Just focus on helping them and finding Mikey before dad asks anything. At all.’

They loved their dad and he loved them but sometimes missions were better done when the turtles kept it to themselves. Especially if it was dangerous and involved them.

He stepped into the cool damp sewer room. Everything was exactly the way he left it. The living room empty. After the mutants were excepted into the world, all of their cousins had moved out and started their lives. They still visited but now they just had a chance to explore the world. And if the turtles knew anything it was the urge to finally see the world after being shunned by the race that ruled it; Humans.

The curtain to the boys room shut and for once not trying to hide their activity in attempts of creating a private area. And his dad was luckily in the kitchen. Not around to notice his return or ask any questions. Leo summoned all of his ninja stealth and reflexes as he quickly made his way to his room. Find his brothers, fill them in on the plan, figure out how to save Mikey.

He was almost there before he heard the soothing voice. “Going somewhere?”

And there he was behind the blue turtle. The father behind their upbringing. Leo stood completely still as he tried to cover his nerves as best as physically possible.

“Hiiiii Dad. What’s up?” Leo said in the most awkward and guilty voice he had unintentionally backed his words up with.

‘What. Was. THAT!?’

Splinter slowly walked over to his son, staring straight into his soul. Toe to toe. Leo was about a foot taller but that didn’t come into play under the amount of stress he felt.

‘Shit shit shit shit SHIT! I am so dead.’

Leo nearly flinched as his dad raised his hand. But instead of turning into an accusatory point, it cupped Leo’s cheek. Leo opened his eyes. When had he closed them? His father looked at him in complete sympathy and compassion. He sighed before looking back at his son.

“It’s hard. Isn’t it.” Splinter continued that look that screamed Open up. I’m here and I know you’re not ok. Tears formed in Leo’s eyes. Hadn’t he done enough crying for one lifetime? He slowly leaned deeper into his father’s hand clutching it with his own ensuring that the soft touch of the rat fur coated hand didn’t leave him.

“I’m so sorry you are going through this. None of you should be. But I need you to be a bit strong.” Splinters free hand was holding Leo’s other one now. “Raph is not listening to me. And you’re the only other person he might listen. He respects you.”

‘He what? Raph does what? He listens to me more than you?’

“N-no no it’s not your fault.” Leo could only whisper this out. Tears slid down more rapidly now.

“I know and it’s not yours either my son.”

Leo looked up into his dad’s eyes. He was practically beaming. How did he know Leo was thinking about that? How did his dad know that in the back of his mind Leo felt responsible for it? He didn’t even say anything like that. But for some reason that was some of the best news Leo had heard in what felt like forever. For once happy tears rolled down and graced Leo’s face. He felt so much better in the comfort and sincerity of those weirds. He weakly let out a small hiccup and a laugh of relief as he finally felt that weight being lifted of his chest.

“Thanks dad.” Leo rubbed his eyes as he nestled against his dad’s hand. He felt so safe. All of his brothers had a special connection to their dad in their own way. But Leo and Mikey had always been the most open. They had the most obvious signs. Listening to their dad and being the most openly worried as well as being the oldest and youngest. According to Donnie( who relied this info solely on physiological websites and studies online) the oldest children have always been the most trusted and the youngest were the most babied. But that didn’t matter all they knew was caring about the first person to love the turtle boys for who they were. Unconditionally.

“Just don’t forget that no matter what hurts you or our family.” Splinter moved his hands so that they were both holding his sons. “Because it is not. But the fact that you take your role as leader this seriously is admirable. And I am very proud.”

They stood there like that for a few moments in the bliss of their happiness. That was until Leo remembered why he had come back.

“Well I . . . I guess better check on Raph and D.” Leo rubbed his neck as he turned to the doorway of the brothers room.

“Yes yes. Just tell April I said hello.”

Leo whipped his head around only to see his father stroll back to the kitchen. His confusion shown on his face as his father only waved his tail teasingly behind him. Leo rolled his eyes as he let out a slight chuckle. He stepped into the four room as he gently pulled the curtain shut in an attempt of absolute privacy.

“What are you doing?”

Sorry for the long wait but as you could see from my last few posts I had a bit of difficulty with the last part. Cowabunga turtle fans!
