TMNT Name meanings

Leonardo - The name Leonardo means, (and I am pretty sure you can all guess), "Brave Lion."

For a fearless leader, the name Leonardo, was perfect for Leo's character. It suits him well in every TMNT that has ever been, even in the 2018 version.

Being fearless is what Leo is most known for, it is why his younger brothers look up to him and why Raph nicknamed him, "Fearless."

Raphael - The name Raphael means, "God has healed"

Even though I doubt the turtles were raised to believe in God and were more raised in buddhism since that is most likely Splinter's religion. I think the name Raphael is suiting for a protector like him.

Think about it, "God has healed" meaning, God is always watching over you and is always ready to help you when you need him.

You just got to have a little faith.

Even though his brothers questioned him sometimes because of his lack of control over his temper, you can still always count Raphael to be there to stand beside you and protect you when you are in danger.

Donatello - The name Donatello means, "Given; Gift from God"

As we all know Donnie if very gifted, so this name is very, very suiting and you know what, not just that but he is like a gift to the world. With Donnie and his brains, he holds the power to change everything.

Make the world a better place and is always able to find a solution to problems. Without Donnie and his gifts, his brothers wouldn't have the equipment they needed for the Kraang or any other threat and they could have come home dead without Donnie's doctor skills.

So yeah, Donnie is gifted but he is also a gift for everyone else.

Michelangelo - The name Michelangelo means, "He who resembles God"

This name is really, really suiting for Mikey. I know a lot think Mikey is just the goofball in the group, but he isn't.

He isn't the weakest link, he isn't just the baby brother, and he is not useless.

Mikey does a lot more than others think. He gives his family hope and faith when they can not find it for themselves. He is his brothers' strength. Mikey is always there to make sure no one falls in despair and keeps them forward.

He gives his family constant support, comfort, and he always watching their backs.

April - The name April means, "To open." - O'Neil - and the name O'Neil means, "Champion."

April I think is a good name because, "To open" meaning the opening of Spring which means like rebirth.

Think about how April was just a normal girl who had a normal life but then she meets the turtles and suddenly her whole life begins to change but she does as well. She went from a normal teenager girl to a half alien, psyche power kunoichi with mutant friends.

As for O'Neil, I think that is suiting as well because we all know that April is driven, and she will not stop until she becomes victorious.

(Pretty sure Casey's first name is Arnold so going start from there)

Arnold - The name Arnold means, "Ruler, strong as an eagle" - Casey - The name Casey means, "Brave in battle" - Jones - The name Jones means, "Son of John or Yahweh is gracious"

Arnold is suiting because despite his flaws and over-confidence, he is as strong as an eagle. He is full of freedom and holds the power for this need to protect others. He is always keeping a watchful eye, like many Vigilantes.

Casey, is always Brave in battle. He never shies away from it, only straight towards it.

As for Jones, Casey is gracious he is kind and courteous.

Monalisa - The name Monalisa means, "Beauty." - Painting represent - Cosmic link connecting humanity and nature

Monalisa is a beautiful woman, not just in appearances but spirit as well. She is so brave, so straightforward, and selfless. A true warrior.

As for the name painting, she is named after, even though Mona is not human, she still represents humanity.

Shinigami - The name Shinigami means (Which we all know), "Angel of Death."

Shinigami is a true force to be reckoned with, even though we have never seen her do it, she is shown that she will not hesitate to end someone's life and she seems to be the type who does not fear death for herself either.

She is not evil, just has evil traits and she only brings the fear of death to those who deserve it.

You know I had to save the best for last...

Miwa - The name Miwa means, "Beautiful Harmony" Karai - The name Karai means, "Spicy, sever, hot."

Miwa, I think was the perfect name for her! I know a lot of people like Karai and believe that she would never change her name to her real name, but I believe otherwise.

The name Miwa is way more suiting for this character than Karai. It may not sound as evil or as cool as Karai, but that name is suiting for the past Karais before 2012.

For this version of Karai, Miwa is better and I think I know why they chose that for her real name.

"Beautiful Harmony,"

Karai is Harmony. She is always in between, never one or the other.

What I mean is, she is not quite Foot Clan but not Hamato Clan either, she is not really a villain but not really a hero, and she is not really mutant but not really human either.

Everything about this Karai is always in the middle! She is everything! She is Foot and Hamato. She is a hero with villainess traits, and she is a mutant that can transform back into human!

I like to think that while Karai does not think or love Shredder as her father anymore, I like to think of her as the daughter of three clans, (including Tang Shen)

She has the spirit of her mother which we all know, but she has the heart of a warrior like her father, and she has the skills of a Foot solider like Shredder.

I believe Karai will accept the fact that she can not escape the things she has learned for Shredder, but she can take what she has learn and make it better. I don't believe Karai would want to stay Karai because Karai is no longer who she is.

Karai was a ruthless vengeful villain, she was Shredder's daughter, and a powerful weapon for the Foot clan.

Miwa is no longer vengeful or hateful, she was Hamato Yoshi's and Tang Shen's daugher, and she was no one's weapon or tool.

Miwa is Karai's future and Karai is Miwa's past.

(I love Karai so much as you can probably tell)

I do not like the name meaning for Karai, I don't really think they thought that name through either like Saki's name. The only one I agree with is sever, that's suiting. But spicy and hot?

I don't know. I don't like it.

So that's the end of that.

I just love it when names fit the character, that's why I am always so nit-picky about names and why I always change them, is because I want it to be perfect for the character. I don't like picking random names just because I think it sounds good.

When you make a character, you can't just like throw stuff together, you know?

You have to think it through. You got a think about appearances, personality, the clothes they wear, the things they like, physical movements, their name!

Every little thing is important. It makes the character who they are! That's why when I watch shows or read books, I pay attention to every little detail. I don't just like the character because they are strong, or I think they look cool; I have to like everything about the character.

People put so much thought and work into their characters and for people, like my dumb brother, to say that's my favorite character because they look cool and are a lot stronger than the others. I think is just disrespectful to the creator. I do.

There is so much to the character than just looks and fighting abilities. I lot of things that they worked hard on, so you can get to know the character, you know? They make the character to be someone you can relate to.

Like Karai is my favorite character, not because she is a badass but because I relate to her so much! I never been through the amount of what she has been through, but I know what is like to have an unloved parent, to be in someone else's control, for your whole world to fall apart in an instant, to lose someone important to you, and to be angry and hateful.

I had to rediscover myself because I never had the chance to before and I am still trying to figure myself out.

Karai was my comfort character through those times because watching her, going through worse than me and still going on fighting, just gave me hope. I know that may sound stupid, because she is not real, but it is true.

(Sorry if I was too much there, I am just really passionate about stories and characters)

[wtf-a-psychoanalysis]

I have to say that the boys (the ones who survived tho {Mikey} ) aged like Milk because of their Lou Jitsu genes.

Like look at what THIRTEEN years of being a single dad to 4 mutant children has done

Tho he gets a pass bc rats only live 2 years

Now imagine 22 years of an apocalypse (and mystical force wear and tear)

Tho Leo is a DILF like his dad

Tho they are mutants not fully yokai so they probably come from normal animals so that prolly drastically fucked up their aging process given the yokai originating power that were the kraang.

SPOILERS

Next time I'll elaborate on a half assed theory that Casey Jones Jr is a clone of Cassandra combined with Lou Jitsu DNA lol (bro they're too similar and i don't think Leo would hook up with Cassandra Sr)

Shes a girboss who would request a child during an apocalypse

[idiot-mushroom]

I would love the Casey lore but I also don't want spoilers, so I'm going to ask a bunch of stuff again!

What are Casey, April, Irma, and Sunita's fashion sense like? Music taste? Favorite food? Favorite type of books/shows/movies? Least favorite food texture? Any specific neirodivergency or mental illnesses? What are they most insecure about? Do they all fight along side the turtles or aid them with their adventures?

Please tell me everything you can about Keno!!!

Do any of the humans get mutated at any point? Why does Donnie create retro mutagen?

Is spike mutant or yokai? Will he eventually be an ally to the turtles? Do have a design for him? Do they acquire other allies? Do you have any character designs we can have a sneak peek too?

Is Bishop and his hole thing in this au? Are the triceraton? Will there be professor Honeycutt/Fugitoid?

Do the O'Neil's have any other foster kids? Do they have an apartment or a house? What the layout of their place like? Which half of them makes April 1/4 Kraang?

In the new lair layout there isn't Splinters room, does he not live with them anymore? Or is it a more separate room?

I swear everytime I do this I feel like a crazy reporter or paparazzi running up to you just asking frantic questions I'm so sorry. Also sorry if these are repeated questions.

Sunita:

has autism swag

kidcore fashion sense (bright colors, chunky jewelry, ect)

they’re mostly insecure abt how she seems to not be able to fit in with human kids as well as with people in the hidden city

she likes hard rock (which contrasts with her personality and everything abt her (i think it’d be funny))

she doesn’t like the texture of celery bc of the fiver strands that make it hard to eat (for her)

she likes learning abt plants :))

her favorite food is mango pudding

she only aids them later on as ‘the man in the chair’

Casey:

he has add swag

the grunge fashion is strong with this one

he likes indie rock and rap

he’s insecure abt his past with his dad and mom, and the fact he doesn’t know much abt his own heritage from his father’s side.

he likes the percy jackson books

he does aid them in adventures as back up and muscle

April:

her brain is on default setting

casual fashion for a casual girl

she likes anything under ‘sad girl starter pack’

she rlly enjoys marvel and star wars

she aids them in adventures as a second opinion and back up

she’s rlly insecure abt her parents not paying attention to her as much with so many other kids in the household

Keno:

country bumpkin 2 da max

half Italian, half Korean

likes making pizza and pasta all day

oldest out of the entire group (in his early 20’s)

has a farm (passed down from his family)

neighbors with Casey’s old house (a mile down from the old jones’s house is keno’s house/farm)

they meet keno during the farmhouse arc

he is very friendly and acts as an older brother

I don’t think that any of them get mutated in the series but j might change my mind idk

Spike (Slash) is my au is a leatherback sea turtle that gets mutated!! She doesn’t ally them, but isn’t a bad guy either, she’s more of a morally grey vigilant.

i have no new official designs rn but after this latest arc i’ll defo post Slash’s design

Bishop will be in this au (still trying to find out his character tho) and yes mr honeycutt is in this au but he’s a robot assistant to irma 👍

these are the rest of the o’neil’s foster kids!! they live in a nice, two story house in the city.

april gets her 1/4 krang from her dad’s side (ik girls going through it)

splinter does live with them in the new lair, he’s just dubs his room as ‘the meditation room’ bc he’s an extra bitch like dat

thank you for the asks btw, don’t feel bad or worry abt it, i’m happy to talk abt my au!!

The Future

Chapter 19

Panting.

Running.

Chaos.

Survival.

3rd Person POV

Everywhere you looked there was fighting, explosions, and The Kranng Army advancing ever closer. A Turtle was injured, holding a picture of a happy family, no longer a teen but a man who has seen so much destruction and death. Leo is being held up by a young boy. Running and pushing forward, no turning back it hurts too much.

"I've got you Sensei," The boy says

"You're a lifesaver, Casey Jones," Leo says out of breath

"I learned from the best. Come on, we're almost there." Casey JR says lifting his mask up

New York 2044

The Kranng Army has gotten stronger and grown in numbers with each passing day. Not even the military withstood their undying assault.

From behind the duo mutant kranng dogs chase after them but they are stopped by Mikey, the youngest turtle now looking like the oldest with hair but has balded at the top.

"Bad dogs" Mikey shouts

"Impeccable timing, little brother. Very dramatic."

Casey JR places Leo down to assess his master's injuries.

"Help him, Michaelangelo. He's hurt bad."

An explosion not far away is heard with a familiar "Boo-yah".

Down jumps another turtle clad in a torn purple lab coat, goggles no more but a glasses visor sitting over his eyes, and an angry red scar crosses his face, an upgraded turtle shell adorns his back, and the now hidden sun reflects off a silver band on his finger, a wedding ring?

"The first group of Kraang have been dealt with but more will come. And Aqua is handling the second but I don't know how much longer she can do it. What's the plan?" Donnie says.

"Where's Violet?" Mikey asks

"Right here!" A small female turtle appears from behind some debris and dirt.

"We've got more Kranng coming fast, westbound and eastbound. They are taking out The Resistance left and right." The young turtle worriedly.

"That's it. The resistance failed. The Kranng won. But...but it isn't over. We've still got ninjas' greatest weapon...hope. That and a badass mystic warrior. Mikey, we need a time gateway. " Leo says while turning his attention to his younger brother.

"It'll take everything I have."

"I know but this is our last chance. It's our only chance"

A sound that shakes the ground, a figure falling from the sky at super speed crashing into the area beside them. Donnie goes to check it out, removing the rubble a hand emerges, a familiar one with a similar silver wedding band.

"Aqua?!" Donnie shouts as he desperately removes the rubble.

A little assistance is given when pink tentacles push the rubble off her to reveal a half-mutated woman.

"You can't get rid of me that easily" She chuckles and groans while holding her side.

"Whatever you need to do, you need to do it fast," Donnie says while bracing her as she stands.

The young female turtle rushes over to Donnie and Aqua making sure the older woman is OK.

Mikey starts to make a portal and Casey looks on confused and scared.

"Casey listen, the Kranng first came to our planet through a Mystic doorway. The key that opened the doorway looked like this." Leo flips over the picture, draws on it, and hands it to Casey.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because Mikey's about to send you....and Violet back in time to the day the key was stolen."

"Wait he's gonna what?" Both Casey JR and Violet say.

"The people that stole that key opened the doorway for the Krang. You two have to find it before it happens. Find the key, and stop the Kranng."

A huge Krang suit stands before them.

"They found us!" Casey JR says

"Mikey!" Leo shouts

Mikey was successfully able to open to portal but at a cost. A blinding gold portal is left in the wake of Mikey's sacrifice. No time to mourn the loss.

"I'll hold them off, go kids...GO!"

Aqua using her last ounces of strength pushes away from Donnie to use both her powers to rip it to shreds. Her eyes glow a bright blue, her body hums from the amount of power she is using and her body illuminates. Leo pushes Casey into the portal and runs towards the battle-attacking Krang soldiers, but a red beam blasts onto his body and disintegrates him.

"No!" Shouts Violet, her eyes wet with tears.

"Ugh," a wet cough and droplets hit the ground turning. Looking down Aqua sees a tentacle piercing through her chest stabbing her mutant heart. Body slowly falls, tears falling as she smiles at the two turtles she loves so dearly. Her body crumbles to the ground, warm blood puddles around her, and her powerful glow dims, lifeless.

"Aqua!! No, no, please no!" Donnie shouts as he cradles her, stroking her short hair, a flash of a memory.

"Why are you cutting your hair babe?"

"It's too much to manage and besides it gets in the way when I kick your ass, so I can't see your look of defeat"

"Scoff, come here you"

A kiss and memory gone

Tears streamed down his face, placing his love gently down to the ground, closing her now lifeless purple eyes. Walks over to the young turtle and hugs her tightly not wanting to let go but knowing he must. Putting a picture into her utility belt, pulling away stroking her tear-stained cheeks.

"Live for us"

Falling that's all Violet felt, falling further and further away from him.

"Daddy!"

The portal closes, and the purple-clad turtle returns to the woman holds her close, and closes his eyes while holding the hand that bears the ring they share. Accepting his fate, soon they will meet again...

Heyo! So i was wonderinv could you do a fluffy oneshot for raph x a chubby s/o who needs constant reassurance due to them believing raph deserves better

Raph X Fem!Reader - You’re perfect for me

It was almost a year since the arrival of that strange Kraang spaceship, which had caused chaos in New York City.

The turtles, the four siblings who live in the sewers, were recognised by the police for their bravery that day and, among the troop of cops, was Y/n.

At first, she was shocked to see that four turtles could have become big mutants and could talk, she practically couldn't believe it.

But when she met his gaze, her first impressions of them completely changed.

Red Bandana, a name given by her as she could not remember his real name, was attractive to her eyes and she almost liked staring at the turtle's green eyes.

"Y/n?" the girl turned, letting go of those green eyes, and finding herself in front of the journalist April O'Neil and her friend and colleague at work Casey Jones.

"April, it's been a long time!"

The two hugged each other as the boy behind them looked around as if he was embarrassed by the scene.

They'd known each other since they were kids but had lost each other after Y/n joined the NYPD and it had been a long time since they'd seen each other, even though the previous incident at the Kraang ship.

As soon as they pulled away, Y/n nodded towards Casey in greeting.

"Jones."

He sighed, giving a small chuckle and imitating the girl's gesture.

"Y/l/n, you look very pretty today you know?" he added in a mocking tone.

Casey always teased y/h/c but once he went too far by making a little joke about her weight, which was unforgivable for her.

They didn't speak for months but it was he who wanted to break this silence with a simple chat.

"I never wanted to be so brutal to you, I was angry and I swear I didn't know what I was saying or doing, I even insulted a child playing in the park on my way home."

They both laughed after a few minutes of silence, and Y/n replied, "Why?"

"I have no idea! All I know is that the mother keeps giving me bad looks every time I passed by."

In the end, everything was resolved and they became friends again as before, continuing to tease each other.

The problem though for Casey, was that he was in love with Y/n but he knew he would be rejected and now, that he sees the way she looks at that stupid mutant (as he would call it), he knows he has no hope of being with her.

He would like to move on, though, and having found April might help him get over his crush on the y/h/c.

Back to our point, the girl replied, in the same wry tone as the boy, "You know I could say the same thing about you today," and added a wink.

"Nice, it seems to me that you have been eyeing someone to say these things to without using that ironic tone."

He pointed with his gaze to precisely one of the four turtles, more specifically the one in the red band.

"What?" she asked, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, I don't like it."

"No one ever said you like it," retorted April winking at her.

The girl frowned at her, and at that same moment she saw a tall, mighty shadow approaching her.

"Officer," said her deep voice.

Y/n was paralyzed, but not by fear of the creature but more by the terror of coming across as strange because she talks too much or says nonsense.

He nodded his hand as a greeting and smiled as Casey and April stood still to see what was happening.

"I am Raphael," he extended his paw in anticipation of a handshake.

Y/n did not hesitate, he shook it and moved his hands up and down.

"Nice to meet you Y/n" he said quickly in a light voice and received a half smile.

Their hands still remained united, and the turtle turned them around, resting his lips on the girl's hand, like a gentleman.

" Enchanted."

Before long, she broke away and walked back to her brothers and shouted toward the three, "See you Y/n!"

This one remained motionless, always waving at the turtle's hand and remaining half-open-mouthed in amazement.

"He's not Raphael, he's too gallant," April suddenly pointed out, awakening y/h/c's trans state.

Hence began their friendship.

They would meet every night on the roof of her apartment, sometimes for dinner and most afterwards so they could simply talk or admire the starry sky.

After three/four months of getting to know each other, Y/n's feelings grew and Raph's blossomed but he wanted to tell her, at all costs.

"You need to relax, she doesn't seem like a girl who rejects so easily."

"Mikey!" scolded Donnie, giving him a not-so-light smack on the head.

"What Michelangelo was trying to say" the Leonardo leader intervened, throwing the smaller man a dirty look "is that it will be fine, she really likes you trust me"

"And how do you know that? I don't think you are human, she is a girl, she has y/e/c eyes, y/h/c hair or she calls you Y/n Y/l/n!"

"You just trust! Now go!"

He almost wanted to punch him in the face because of the way he answered him but at the moment his brother was the last thing on his mind.

He rushed out of the sewers and jumped from rooftop to rooftop to that of her apartment, not finding her at home.

In fact, she was still at work even though she had finished her shift, only she was struggling with a Casey who was mad about his crush on April.

"How do I tell her if she doesn't want me?"

"You don't tell her."

"But I want to tell her."

"Then do it!"

"But I can't, what if she says no?"

"Look, you've been asking me the same question for about an hour and you keep walking back and forth without ever stopping. Can you explain what I'm for?"

"You are supposed to support me! I asked you for help on purpose!" he replied as he sat down in front of her at his desk.

She sighed tiredly and added, "Okay, fine," she stood up abruptly, adjusting her desk chair and looking at Casey.

"So, now I'm April," began the y/h/c.

"Would you like that" murmured Casey thinking no one heard him but he got a dirty look from the girl.

"I was saying, now I’m April going into the restaurant where you're meeting, what do you do?"

"Shall I say goodbye?"

Y/n sighed slightly, still agreeing with his friend "Yes, go"

This one remained silent, smiling slightly in embarrassment and remaining with his mouth half open as he stared at everything but the girl in front of him.

"Casey?" the y/h/c called him, moving a hand in front of his eyes.

He continued not moving and then the girl turned around following her friend's gaze and then standing there with her mouth open as well.

In front of them stood April in a red, tight, knee-length dress, not too high heels of the same colour and a light flesh-coloured lipstick.

Her wavy hair fell over her shoulders and round silver earrings were visible.

"Sorry if I might be interrupting but I've been waiting for you for a while Casey so I thought that maybe I would join you at work."

The boy woke up checking his watch and running a hand through his hair in despair: it was half past eight and he was supposed to be at her place an hour ago.

"What? That's not possible" he turned suddenly to his friend and gave her a bad look "You couldn't check the time!"

" What?" she gasped "I was supposed to see when YOU were supposed to leave?"

"Yes! I mean" he sighed surrendered and walked over to April taking a deep breath.

"Sorry to keep you waiting and" he paused looking at the girl from head to toe and smiling slightly at her "you look lovely dress like that"

She smiled back, lowering her gaze shyly and then raising it back to him "Thank you" she said with a soft voice.

They froze looking at each other as Y/n smiled satisfiedly, waiting for the two to move for their date, which they didn't.

" Whenever you want you can move" Y/n interrupted the moment, immediately receiving a dirty look from Casey.

"Yeah, let's go," April said taking the boy under her arm and dragging him away from the office.

Casey as he walked he turned and said through his lips, "I hate you."

"I love you too" she replied giving him a wink as she watched them disappear in the elevator

Right after, she turned back to the desk to get her bag but she was immediately surprised by a mutant turtle leaning against the window.

"Raph?" she wondered as she approached him, who kept pointing to the window aperture so he could enter.

So she finally did and found herself inside the office with the turtle, who looked around with a brazen look on his face.

"Nice place, I wish I came here more often," he said suddenly provoking a giggle from Y/n.

"Well, if you want to get caught by the police more often then I won't stop you," she retorted as she closed the window.

He turned to Raphael noticing how blank his gaze was, too occupied with staring into space and not looking the girl in the eyes.

"What brings you here? I thought we were meeting at the lair tonight."

At her words he awoke, shrugging and running a hand down the back of his neck "Nothing, I just saw you weren't coming so I went to look for you at your home but you weren't there, so I thought you were at work and here you are! Even though your turn ended over an hour ago," he explained with a half smile and lowering his voice at the end of the sentence.

"Ah yeah, Casey had asked me to help him with something and stopped me for a while"

"Oh sure" his smile vanished turning into a disgusted expression "Casey"

The y/h/c noticed this, looking at him crookedly and crossing her arms over her chest "I think I missed something, Casey what?"

"No nothing" he replied indifferently in an angry tone.

"Casey what?" she repeated taunting him as he held back sighing loudly.

"I said nothing and now let's go" he replied dragging her by the arm towards the window.

"No no" she stopped herself removing her grip from his arm "Casey what?"

"Casey nothing ok! Because Casey is always in the middle of the talk anyway and he' definitely always in the middle when it is about love"

Raphael froze, only thinking later about the words he had said and realising that maybe this way Y/n had understood something, so she did.

"Do you think Casey is still in love with me?" murmured Y/n in a confused tone.

"Of course, you can see how he is."

"And in fact he's not."

"Of course he is, don't you see how he looks at you every time and how he talks to you all the time!" he ranted turning towards her.

"We're just friends Raph, plus he likes April"

"Oh yeah sure, he likes April. Of course he doesn't like April, he likes you!" he retorted again raising his voice "He likes you and honestly I can blame him since you're just beautiful, smart, nice and kind! These are all traits that any guy would choose you for, but also traits that a mutant turtle would choose you for!"

Raph stopped and looked at her, amazed at his words and with a half-open mouth from which not a word came out.

"I love you Y/n" he murmured then "And I will never stop doing, even if you're love with someone el-"

Raphael was stopped by the sudden touch of the girl's lips with his own, and was very happy about it.

He was finally kissing the girl he was in love with and no longer had to worry about what she thought because he knew she reciprocated his feelings.

They broke away after a while, meeting each other's gaze and smiling at the other.

"I love you too Raph, don't ever forget that."

_

Today is Y/n and Raph's one month anniversary, to which the last had obviously thought of something special.

Not being able to think of anything outside the lair or make a big thing of it, he decorated it to look like a luxury restaurant by arranging a table in the shape of a circle in the middle of the room.

He found two chairs with a pillow on the back and a candle holder for three candles, which he placed in the middle with a small vase containing a red rose.

While he was busy with these things, he did not notice Casey and April's entrance and almost had a stroke as he heard the latter's greeting.

"Ah it's you," he said with a hand over his heart and taking a deep breath.

"Sorry if we scared you Raph and" the girl looked around noticing how well the den was set up and was almost amazed by this "geez, did you finally clean this place up?"

"No no, I simply set it up for dinner with Y/n, you know it's been a month since we've been together and I want everything to be perfect and in fact I'm sending my brothers and Master Splinter with you, he hasn't had a good breath of fresh air in a long time and I'd say this would be the perfect opportunity to get to know New York better as well" the turtle said quickly, clearly anxious about her date.

"Raph are you alright? You look like you're sweating" Casey intervened, receiving a mock laugh in response.

"Of course I'm fine, it's just really hot in here" he replied, airing himself with his paw.

"Are you sure? I mean it sounds like you're actually anxious about the date and-"

"LEO, CASEY AND APRIL ARE HERE, BRING THE OTHERS WITH YOU AND GO AWAY," the turtle suddenly shouted, startling the two in front of him.

"Man don't yell!" muttered Casey as the rest of the mutant family joined them.

"Raphael, are you sure you don't want any of us to stay here?" asked Master Splinter but immediately received a no for an answer.

"Quite sure, now go have a nice ride until I don't know, late at night? Depends on how the night unfolds but have fun anyway."

"Raph you're sweating" Leonardo interjected almost angering his brother who pushed them all towards the exit.

"Go!"

As soon as everyone left, he set the last of the things in the table and then took the carton of pizza he had Casey order for him in the morning, he microwaved it for a few minutes.

"Perfect, it should be here any minute," he muttered to himself as he looked around.

He thought about how perfect everything was but also about the fact that something was missing and the nauseating smell of the sewers made him think of what.

He took a spray that smelled of lavender from a cupboard and began to spray every nook and cranny of the place, none excluded.

"Raph" upon hearing his voice, he threw the spray somewhere and immediately ran towards the entrance quickly settling himself, what precisely was unknown since he was not wearing any clothes.

"Y/n, there you are" he greeted her with a big smile and quickly made her take a seat at the table he had prepared.

He hadn't even paused to notice how good she looked in her dress (colour you want) because he was mesmerised by the bright colour of her eyes under the moonlight.

When she was seated, he awoke from his moment of hypnosis and went to get dinner, carrying it like a real waiter.

"Madam, did you order pizza?" he asked the girl, placing the pizza in front of her.

She giggled while Raph did the same, going to sit opposite her.

They shared the eight slices and began to eat in complete silence, both lacking in argument but Raph was not without anxiety.

He saw how Y/n barely touched the pizza with his fork and believed it was because it was cold, he had probably made a mistake ordering it at lunchtime in the morning.

'Maybe the pizza is a bit cold,' he suddenly said.

"What? No no, I'm just not very hungry"

"Oh, I thought" he panicked "I thought maybe you didn't like it because it was too cold, you know I had Casey order it this morning but I didn't think that maybe many hours later it would be cold and actually I didn't even think that maybe instead of the usual pizza I could get something simpler but actually I didn't even imagine that you weren't hungry even though that's something you say all the time and you say it because you think your body isn't doing well and I have to say I'm talking out of my ass and maybe I brought up something I shouldn't have so please stop me or I might end up really hurting you"

He stopped himself bringing a hand to his mouth as Y/n was wide-eyed and open-mouthed.

"I...Um, yeah I'm not hungry for that reason" she murmured in a light voice as she lowered her gaze.

Raphael stared at her displeased, removed his paw from his mouth, took a deep breath to calm himself and stood up to go in front of her.

He got down on his knees in front of her looking for her gaze and found it shortly after, this gave him a chance to rest a hand on her cheek.

"It's a month that we've been together, a month that I've been telling you how much I love you and how special I think you are and it's also a month that I've been telling you over and over again how perfect you are at everything. You're perfect in your work, your personality is perfect, your face is perfect, your hair is perfect but most of all," he moved his hand to her chin, taking it with two fingers, "your body is perfect."

They smiled at each other and he brought their faces closer to leave a slow but short kiss on her lips.

"You’re perfect for me Y/n"

All right, ive been waiting forever to introduce my 2012 TMNT OC!

May i introduce to you Harley Florence Boyed, who was mutated during a trip to the zoo with her best friend, Angel Jones, and Angels older brother Casey Jones! She was "rescued" by the foot clan after her mutation, but when she realized what the Foot really did, she threatened them. Shredder wanted to kill her, but Karai wouldnt let him.

So, he implated a Kraang device in her neck that makes her mute, and wiped her memory.

She wasnt told her name after the device was implanted, because everytime she remembered something from before the device, it sends an electric shock through her.

Karai sent her to live with the turtles to protect her (for she and Karai had grown close in the month and a half that they had been friends) and she adopted the name Pluto (after the planet)

I could go into further detail, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask me questions about her, i love her, please im begging you

I also have a version for her for every version of the turtles

And We'll Keep Marching On Chapter 8 - Four Walls, Two Turtles

AO3

-----------------------------------------

Raph knew he’d made the right call.

Even if Casey and Donnie disagreed, Raph was finally confident in one decision while acting as leader.

Because, as much as he trusted Donnie, knew that he’d do what he could to make sure Leo healed, they were ridiculously under-prepared to handle this situation.

They had no Lair, no Sensei, the only place they could get supplies was a small town an hour's drive away and winter was looming right at their shells, which would make getting into town even harder.

So, yeah, when he realized that Raven could get them more than enough resources to help Leo and possibly help them get the Kraang out of New York? He hadn’t needed to think long about it.

He watched quietly as everyone slowly filtered out, likely going back to their normal activities, or in Mikey’s case, telling Raven to contact her people. Until it was just Raph and Leo left.

Well, Raph, Leo, and a very upset-looking Casey.

Raph assumed that he’d either say what he wanted or would leave at some point. But minutes ticked by and Casey stood there, leaning against the wall and glaring at the floor, leg bouncing in an erratic rhythm.

And even though Raph hadn’t had the energy to jump to anger as quickly as he normally did, the repetitive thump, thump, thump, of Casey’s heel on the floor was starting to grate on his nerves.

But he couldn’t snap. Leo might flip out again if he got worked up.

So he breathed deep, mentally grabbing onto every lesson that Master Splinter taught him about controlling his anger, and looked at Casey, “What?”

“I’m just hangin’,” Casey muttered. “What, we can’t just hang anymore?”

Inhale, hold, exhale, “Look, I don’t know what your problem is but you got outvoted. Quit throwing a fit over it.”

“Excuse me?” Casey hissed, stomping across the room to grab the bed’s footboard. 

Raph breathed deeply, “Yeah, you’re having a tantrum and we can’t deal with that right now, okay? So could you quit it?”

“Hey, just cause you think you’re some big shot leader right now doesn’t mean you can boss me around!” Casey snapped. “Casey Jones does what he wants.”

Breath. ���Well ‘Casey Jones’ is gonna jeopardize our best chance of helping Leo if he keeps trying to piss off the space soldier!”

“Seriously?” Casey's voice started to rise. “You’ve been hiding in her for two weeks and suddenly decided ‘oh, yeah, let’s call more aliens and tell them exactly where we are’, great plan Mr. Boss.”

“Yeah, I’m the boss,” Raph snapped, anger starting the roil. “Because our normal boss can’t stay awake longer than a minute and doesn’t understand English and can’t fucking walk. If calling some aliens who can actually do something to help him is what I gotta do, I’m gonna do it.”

“We don’t need help,” Casey argued back. “Donnie has everything covered! He built this thing-” Casey’s hand moved, reaching toward Leo’s brace.

And Raph wasn’t fully sure what came over him for the next few moments. All he saw was the hand reaching for Leo, going for where he was currently weakest, and there was so much anger boiling just under his skin-

Leo let out a squeak as Raph pulled him closer to his chest, practically folding himself in half to cover as much of Leo with his body as possible. His second eyelid slid down, lips pulled back to show all his teeth and a loud, rumbling snarl filled the room.

Casey reeled back, eyes going wide when Raph growled at him.

The pure shock on his face snapped Raph back and, to his horror, he realised what he’d just done. But, even as his eyes went back to green, he couldn’t seem to unfold himself from over Leo. Or unclench the vice that seemed to be around his throat to apologize.

So the pair sat in a silent stalemate, staring at each other.

It was broken by Casey huffing, throwing his hands up and backing towards the door. Raph listened as his shoes stomped down the hall, the uncomfortable feeling in his gut building more with each angry thump.

“Damnit.”

Under him, Leo let out a breathy, questioning chirp.

That finally made Raph’s muscles unclench. He sat back, hissing, “Damnit, Leo- Sorry, I- God, I’m messing up already. I’m sorry, it’s okay.” He let out a string of chirps, a few trills worming in here and there.

Leo blinked up at him and Raph took small comfort in the fact that he seemed to actually be focusing.

Even if he still seemed to be having trouble staying awake, since he blinked up at Raph a few times before his eyes fell shut and stayed shut.

Raph sighed through his nose, curling back down over Leo.

He was making the right call. As far as he could tell, Raven was at least a decent person. She’d known how to help Leo when he woke up, had helped make sure he didn’t hurt himself more. Hell, even before that, she’d been keeping Mikey very well entertained and distracted from…from the whole situation.

But…it was Casey. Raph didn’t necessarily hold it against him but…Casey had a tendency to pick his stance and stick with it. Sure, it wasn’t like he never changed his mind on stuff but it usually took a lot to get him to.

And, for whatever reason, Raven had been firmly placed on the list of people that Casey Jones didn’t like. Which meant now he was mad at Raph for asking her for help.

His best friend was mad at him for making the best possible call and it made something in Raph twist over itself painfully.

Maybe Donnie too. For whatever stupid reason that lead to him not agreeing to get reinforcements.

How often did Leo feel like this? Confident in his voice but upset when others hated him for it.

…how often had made Leo feel like that?

Raph sighed again and rested his cheek on Leo’s shell, “How’d you do this all the time and not go crazy?”

Leo just breathed under him, oblivious to the world once again.

—---------------------------------------

Raph wasn’t sure how long he sat there…or when he fell asleep.

But he was startled awake when someone knocked on the door.

He blinked, forcing his eyes to focus quickly as he sat up-

And ow, okay, he probably shouldn’t have fallen asleep folded over Leo’s shell. His entire spine was stiff and popped unpleasantly when he tried to jerk upright. He winced as his neck cracked loudly but managed to fully sit himself upright to greet whoever had knocked, “What?”

The door opened, just enough for Raph to see Raven standing on the other side, Scrap perched on her shoulder as usual.

“Permission to enter sir?”

Oh, yeah, okay, not a fan of the formality, “Don’t…don’t use ‘sir’, dude. It’s weird.”

Raven started to speak, stopped, frowned, then cleared her throat, “Raphael.”

“Just Raph is fine,” He sighed, popping one last crick in his neck. “So did you, erm, call your team?”

Raven hesitated again, slowly entering the room and stopping at the foot of the bed, hands folding behind her back. Raph couldn’t help but think she looked a lot like Leo when he went over missions with Master Splinter.

But he didn’t like the hesitation.

“I…figured that a direct line of contact would be preferable,” Raven started slowly. “So I borrowed Mikey’s com- T-phone, to try and hail the Paragon directly.”

Raph frowned, “Don’t you have a direct line.”

Raven shook her head, “I…will not deny that I should have debriefed you before setting up the beacon. I no longer have my communicator, it was taken when I was captured. Scrap, of course, has his distress beacon but that only sends a ping. I attempted to use Mikey’s T-Phone to contact the ship and get an ETA for you.”

Raph’s frown deepened, “But since you’re not leading with an ETA…”

“...my attempt did not work,” Raven said. “My best guess as to why is because the range of the T-Phone doesn’t reach far enough to connect to the Paragon, even with help from the beacon and satellite.”

Raph's shoulders went tense, fearing their chance to get Leo help had gone up in smoke, “Did you ask Donnie about that? He’s the tech wiz on this team.”

“I did ask Mikey to get him,” Raven tipped her head towards the hallway. “But, currently, he’s sitting on Donatello to make him get some sleep. And considering that he’s been sleeping in the barn, I thought it best to wait and touch base with him after…and I don’t think Mikey’ll let him up.”

Raph blinked. He…hadn’t known Donnie hadn’t been sleeping in the house, “How do you know that?”

“I don’t require as many hours of sleep as the average human,” She explained. “While I do seem to need more than I used to, I still find myself keeping odd hours. And I often see Donatello working when everyone else is asleep.”

Scrap beeped, head bobbing up and down.

And Raph felt like kicking himself. Because of course Donnie hadn’t been sleeping, Raph had heard him rambling on about all the stuff he wanted to get done before it started snowing bad and he’d…he’d said okay, because he figured Donnie was smart enough to know how to pace himself.

But it was Donnie, king of forgetting to check a clock when his focus zeroed in on his projects. He was such an idiot.

But he had to figure this thing out with Raven so he shoved down the ugly cloud trying to haze his mind and focused on her, “So, what have you been able to do?”

His voice came out harsher than he meant, but Raven didn’t show any sign that she’d caught the tone.

Instead, she pointed to Scrap, “All droid units come with homing beacons. I removed Scraps and hooked it up to the satellite to boost the signal as much as possible. It's a one-way connection so I don’t have a way to get an ETA from the Paragon, but it only sends a signal on the frequencies my battalion uses, so we won’t be getting any unexpected visitors responding to it.”

Raph looked down at Leo, eyes narrowing, “So…we just gotta wait and hope they show up soon.”

“They will,” Raven bit out, sounding almost indignant before catching herself. “They will come. I don’t know about how soon but we don’t leave our people behind.”

Right. Right, Raven was the one calling. Raph doubted the ‘General’ of this army would leave one of their higher officers stranded.

Unless they were like the Kraang…or the Foot.

“...and when Donnie’s gotten some sleep, you’re gonna try and get some idea of when they’ll get here?”

Raven nodded, “That is the current plan.”

“Right, great, that’s-” Raph cleared his throat. “You sure that beacon thing is reaching them?”

“As long as they are in the system, they’ll get a ping,” Raven replied. “And there isn’t much reason for them to leave the system.”

“Right, right,” Raph nodded. It wasn’t the most ideal thing but…help was coming, that was something. “Thanks for…ya know, helping us out.”

“General Ader would be very disappointed in me if I didn’t,” Raven stated. “And…you all seem like you could use the help.”

Raph huffed, “That obvious?”

Raven went quiet again for a few moments, “Permission to speak freely?”

Raph huffed again, shaking his head, “You do know this isn’t a military team, right?”

“There is a clear chain of command and I would like to respect it,” Raven circled around the bed until she was standing next to Raph. Her shoulders dropped a little, arms relaxing at her sides. “But I can also tell you’re all shinies when it comes to conflicts like this and you’re all scrabbling to recover from a very heavy hit.”

“Shinies?” Raph raised an eyeridge.

“Shinies,” Raven said. “Every battalion has their own colors but, when we come out of Kamino, our armor is white, unblemished, unpainted, shiny and new. And shines only get their paint after their first battle.”

“...then we’re definitely not shinies,” Raph rolled his eyes. “We’ve been fighting the Kraang for almost a year.”

Raven nodded, “Hm, you got me there. But that isn’t what I wanted to say.” She crouched, just enough to be at eye level with Raph. “In my option as a lieutenant? You need to leave this room.”

Raph jerked at the statement, arm tightening unconsciously around Leo, “Excuse me?”

“You have only left here to use the so- washroom, twice a day. Now, if there’s one thing I know it’s how a team responds to their leader. And right now, your unit is splintering and they need a leader.”

“I am leading,” Raph ground out.

“No, you're giving orders from inside a barrack. And I get, I’ve been where you are, waiting for someone I care about to pull through after they’ve been hurt but, the fact is, your unit needs a commander,” a finger jabbed towards Raph. “And you can’t command them if you don’t even see what they’re doing for the majority of the day.”

“I’m not leaving Leo alone,” Raph snapped back. “This isn’t your ‘team’, we do things differently.”

“Your way won’t work in the long run,” Raven argued back. “Look…I don’t want to tell you how to lead, technically you outrank me. But right now, you all need to band together and, from where I’m standing? Everyone is upset and scared and they don’t know what to do. Because both of their leaders are locked away in a barrack and you only talk with them when they’re in here.”

Raph wanted to bare his teeth. Wanted to snap and snarl and yell at her that he didn’t need advice on how to lead everyone through this and that it didn’t matter how bad he did because Leo would take over once he was better.

But he bit the inside of his cheek instead, forced all the anger down. Not because he agreed but because…there was a risk. His anger had messed things up for them enough time for him to see the possibility of Raven withdrawing her offer to help Leo.

So they sat in silence, Raph quietly seething and Raven leveling him with a flat look.

It was Scrap who broke the quiet. Jumping from Raven’s shoulder to the bed with a beep and bobbing at Raph.

“He wants to get the scan for today,” Raven explained.

Right, even if Donnie was sleeping he’d want that. And their impromptu meeting during the morning had thrown all the routines out of wack.

And least, Raph thinks it had…

He leaned back from Leo as the realization dawned that he didn’t really know what everyone did for their routine. He knew what Mikey was up to most of the time, he literally gave Leo a play-by-play every evening and, by proxy, Raph. And Donnie would mention things he was planning to do but…Raph just nodded and told him to do what he needed to.

Damnit, he was completely failing at leading. Again.

Scrap chirped happily when his scan was done, turning to Raven and projecting the image towards her. Raph frowned at it, trying to see if anything had changed each time Scrap projected his results, trying to pick out how much red disappeared with each scan.

He hadn’t seen much of a difference between each one.

Raven held out an arm for Scrap, which he happily used to reclaim his perch. She looked back to Raph, head tilting slightly. 

He narrowed his eyes back, expecting her to leave.

Instead, she spoke, “Scrap, can you do a side-by-side of Leonardo’s first and latest scans?”

The bot beeped, leaning out and lighting up the bed again with the little blue holograms. Raph blinked at them, leaning forward as much as Leo’s body would allow to peer at the scans.

There wasn’t a dramatic change, it had only been a little under two weeks. But some of the red had certainly disappeared. It wasn’t as concentrated around his head as it was on day one. A lot of the smaller blemishes had disappeared from his limbs…the bad knee didn’t look much different but everything else…

“He’s healing,” Raven said. “Slowly and he definitely could benefit from a medic looking him over…but he’s healing.”

Raph frowned, “But he still…he’s still acting feral.”

“Yup,” Raven agreed. “But that’s getting better too.”

“Thought the tin-can couldn’t tell if he had brain damage.”

“No, he can’t. But Leonardo’s awake and not growling at me.”

Raph blinked. Then snapped his gaze down.

And sure enough, Leo’s eyes were open, watching Raven. But, unlike almost every other time Leo woke up and would growl at anyone not turtle-shaped, he was quiet, just watching.

“Leo?” Raph breathed out the name.

And maybe it was just his voice but Raph felt something in him soar when Leo rolled his head to stare up at him.

Raph breathed out shakily, “Hey Leo.”

Leo let out a small, confused chirp.

Right, English was still off the table.

Raph glanced up when Raven started walking away. She paused at the door, looking back over her shoulder, “A leader isn’t meant to take on everything. They are meant to put everyone in the right spot at the right time.”

“Come again?” Raph asked.

“It means you’re not alone Raph,” Raven replied. “It means that you can ask Mikey or Donatello to sit with Leonardo sometimes. It means your place isn’t just in here. Just something to think on.”

And she was gone before Raph could press, shutting the door behind her with a soft click.

Raph sighed, looking back towards Leo… whose attention was now fully captivated by the glass of water on the nightstand.

“You thirsty bro?” Raph asked, even as he reached for the cup.

Leo made a happy little trill when the glass was picked up, one hand moving stiffly towards it, fingers shaking.

“Yeah, not yet Fearless,” Raph muttered, using his free arm to pull Leo into a partially upright position. “I got’cha.”

Leo definitely didn’t get a word Raph had said, his eyes very firmly fixed on the water cup and his shaking hand still moving to grab it. Raph let him, Leo’s frail fingers overlapping his own as he carefully tipped the water into Leo’s mouth.

He sucked it down greedily, like he did every time they gave him water. Like he was worried it would be the last time he’d get any.

Donnie hadn’t said anything about it, but it worried Raph a little. Leo was already in pain and weakened, he didn’t want his brother worrying about where his food and water were coming from on top of that.

But Raph didn’t really know how to convey that with the turtle sounds and English…still seemed to be escaping Leo.

So Raph watched, slacking off the flow of water whenever Leo started to drink too fast and risk choking himself.

It was not a fun thing, seeing Leo like this.

It was partly why he’d taken complete responsibility for looking after him.

Because he wouldn’t wish this on Donnie or Mikey, having to see Leo at his lowest for hours at a time. Sure, they both had seen bits, when they came in to check on Leo, at night when Mikey would slip in and occasionally Donnie would rouse Raph with an appearance.

But this? Having to prop Leo up and hold a glass of water for him because his hands were shaking too much to hold it himself? The random moments when Leo would startle awake and hiss at nothing? Talking to him and just getting a blank look in return?

He couldn’t put this on Donnie or Mikey, they’d been through enough.

But…now that he thought on it…Donnie coming in at night was getting rarer, especially after he moved his ‘lab’ into the barn. And Casey popped in sometimes but, with each visit, he seemed more and more angry. And April…April didn’t visit much but apparently, she’d been trying to get into Raven’s head since that first day.

Mikey was really the only one he could confidently say that he knew what he was up to day by day…and that was only because of his nightly recaps.

“What would you do?” Raph asked quietly, watching the water level in the glass go down. “If we swapped places, what would you be doing?”

Leo didn’t reply. He was trying to tip the glass more, palm weakly pushing in an attempt to make the water flow faster.

Raph gave a low growl. Leo growled back but he stopped trying to push the glass, letting Raph control the flow.

And Raph wanted to snap at that because Leo didn’t just…give up. Not with Raph.

It was their thing, to push each other, neither willing to give any ground regardless of who was right.

And how many of those fights had hurt Leo, a tiny voice hissed in Raph’s head. How many put Leo in the same place Raph was at? Floundering and trying to keep everyone safe, even if it was putting strain on his relationships with them?.

How strained was his relationship with Leo at this point?

Raph sighed, pulling the now empty glass away and plunking it back on the side table. Leo whined at the loss, eyes following the cup before looking almost pleadingly up at Raph.

Leo made a sad trilling sound.

Raph answered with a comforting rumble.

Maybe he could…give things a few more days. Raven had a point when she said Leo hadn’t growled at her. He tended to react to the humans of the house with hostility until Raph reassured him that they were safe.

But he’d been awake and hadn’t hissed at Raven, only watched. Maybe it meant he was used to her…or he was remembering that it wasn’t just him and his brothers anymore.

Raph wasn’t sure which it was but if that progress kept up…maybe Leo would be conscious enough to talk to them soon.

Then they could set up a rotation and Raph could work on settling things between everyone.

He shifted around until Leo was resting against his chest, head cradled in the dip of his shoulder. Leo chirped, pressing his beak into the crook of Raph’s neck, body going lax once again.

“Almost ten minutes that time,” Raph murmured. “That’s…that’s good.”

Leo chirped again. Raph felt him shift, felt Leo moving his arms until they were settled around Raph’s neck in a very loose approximation of a hug.

Raph carefully squeezed back with a churr.

Maybe things were a little different for Raven’s team but…Raph had heard some of the things Master Splinter had taught Leo. A leader shoulders burdens no matter how heavy they were. If Leo did it for almost a year, Raph could handle it for…for however long it took for Leo to unscramble his brain.

Or whenever Raven’s guys showed up.

Raph breathed in a heavy sigh and slid down on the bed.

Casey (18) as Jep

Karai (20) as Bear

Shini (20) as Tiger

Donnie (18) as Aditya Singh

April (20) as Rani Singh

(theyre more like found family not romantic partners tho)

Shredder/ Oroku Saki (old as dirt) as Douglas Abott

Leo (16) as Wendy

Raph (13) as Tommy (could change)

Jennika (adult idk what age // yeah i know shes not a part of 2012 but shjh) as Aimee Eden

Splinter (deceased lmfao) as Pubba (Richard Fox)

Tan Shen as Birdie

and thats as far as ive gotten

Few things i have changed, Both Hamato Yoshi and Tan Shen were scientists who worked together and eventually fell in love and started a family their oldest Miwa, second oldest Donatello, Middle child Leonardo, second youngest Raphael and youngest Michelangelo. Yoshi had always known Martial Arts and taught his children when they were old enough to learn. Yoshi and Shen being home mutagen that is highly dangerous bc they dont know shit abt it yet. Donnie having a love for science and wanting to impress his mom takes it upon himself to go and investigate it which prompts his siblings to want to check it out too. Raph having an obsession with turtles brings his pet to come watch and Mikey crawls in (hes around 1-2 ish at the time). The mutagen spills mutating all the brothers but in different ways: Donnie only gets a turtle shell with all his other features being relatively human like, Raph gets mutated into a half turtle half human hybrid (like regular 2012 raph), Leo has turtle like limbs with the rest of his torso and head being human like, and mikey gets mutated into a half human half turtle hybrid like raph since he was exposed to it super young. Miwa finds them and calls for her parents who at first freak out and then try to find the cause of the mutation to turn their children back. (I havent fleshed out what the virus would be but lets just say the kraang had something to do with it) Then the government starts freaking out about the virus which causes chaos and once they find the mutated brothers they arrest tan shen and Don, Raph, and Leo leaving Miwa alone because shes human. Yoshi is in his lab monitoring Mikey because hes still a baby and just got mutated. Once he catches wind of the arrests he flees into the woods with mikey thinking that Miwa is safe. She wasnt and she and donnie were separated from their mother, raph and leo (who escaped). Oroku Saki being the person people go to for answers sees the potential in Donnies smarts and Miwas skills and decides to keep Donnie alive because of it having his partial mutation be a manipulation point for him and giving him to a wealthy and smart family where he can continue to advance in his studies (the o’neils) while oroku trains Miwa. After a few years of training under oroku miwa and her girlfriend Harmony escape and decided to form their own pack of children who lost their parents the foot clan and train them in martial arts they were taught. Both change their names Miwa becomes Karai and Harmony becomes Shinigami

During the shake down Casey Jones’ younger sister was born her being a hybrid (plot hole i will patch up later) which causes him to freak out

Back with Mikey and Yoshi, Yoshi changes his name to splinter as to not associate himself with his scientific discovery gone wrong and trains mikey for 10 years of his life also telling him stories of how life was and his family before all this happened until Casey finds Mikey and Splinter (dead), Mikey who has grown up with the sense that there was more to the world than what splinter told him wants to go and see for himself and find his family. Casey having a soft spot for hybrids agrees and together they travel

thats as much as im going to write bc its two am and i have school in four hours

[renegadedrummer]

Shoutout to @somerandomdudelmao for inspiring me to write my own Casey-centric apocalyptic series. Without you, my fics wouldn’t have existed. While I’ll never reach the height of your awesomeness, I’ll forever be thankful that you are tackling such an amazing project.

And if anybody wants to find me on AO3, my username is RenegadeDrummer. Here’s a peek at the darkest Casey-centric fic I wrote that’s part of a series. The fic itself is called “Shattered (But Alive).”

[gwydionae]

It's Not Going to Fix Itself

A/N: I just needed some Raph and Mikey bonding. Haven't written nearly enough of that lately.

Posted on fanfiction.net >here<.

Teaser: "I don't need help from you or anyone else!" The words were spat from Raph's mouth with such venom that anyone else might have believed them, but Mikey was more convinced than ever that dodging his older brother's angry, wild swings was exactly where he needed to be at that moment.

It's Not Going to Fix Itself

"Seriously, how can they not be done yet?"

Mikey barely glanced at Raph who sat huffing with indignation on the bench in the common room, glaring down at his T-phone as if that might make it ring sooner. His older brother had been groaning and complaining ever since Donnie had taken off in the Shellraiser after a call from Casey. Apparently he had found some old car for cheap and bought it with the intention of having his own vigilante ride, but he hadn't even made it two blocks before the thing broke down. Raph had offered to tag along as he and Casey had talked about going on patrol that night, but Donnie had shut that idea down, noting that Raph's lack of knowing anything about how cars worked would only make him a distraction.

And so for the last hour and a half, Michelangelo's monster movie had been punctuated with the occasional growl and bark from his most short-tempered sibling. A typical Tuesday, then.

"I'm not gonna just sit here all night waiting for Casey's new toy to be fixed!"

"Pretty sure you said that, like, forever ago, dude," said Mikey, eyes never even leaving the TV screen. He really should have expected the pillow thrown at his head in response.

Not five minutes later, Raph was on his feet and stomping toward the lair's entrance. "That's it. I'm done waiting. Forget Casey and that stupid piece of junk that idiot got conned into buying."

"If you see Donnie, remind him he owes me some pizza gyoza," said Mikey as he lazily raised a hand in a wave, ignoring the rude gesture he received in response.

To be honest, Mikey was surprised it had taken as long as it had for Raph to storm off on his own. If he didn't know better, he might've guessed it was due to the current sad state of the city above as the residents of NYC tried to rebuild their lives after being subjected to an alien invasion for over half a year. The Kraang might be gone, but the streets and back alleys were meaner than ever, and going out alone was asking for trouble. But he did know better, and Raph loved trouble, so if anything, he should have taken off the moment he knew Casey was stuck on the side of the road somewhere.

Too distracted by his cheesy B movie to give it more than a passing thought, it wasn't until he heard the sound of the Shellraiser returning followed by not one but two familiar voices that he perked up, looking around curiously. Hopping up from his beanbag, he wandered over towards the garage and peeked inside. Donnie and Casey were talking animatedly, a beat up piece of machinery he supposed must have been a car at some point sitting next to them.

Mikey couldn't help but laugh, thoughts of his owed gyoza drowned out by the misshapen hunk of metal. "Dude, is this your new ride? What happened, did Donnie hit it with the Shellraiser?"

Turning toward him as he entered the room, Casey flashed him a proud smirk and patted the rusty hood. "You'll see. This little baby is gonna tear up the streets when me an' Donnie get through with her." He smacked said turtle roughly on his shell. "We've got so many ideas—it's gonna be wicked!"

"Your vehicle actually has to appear street legal, don't forget," said Donnie as he walked over to his shelf to grab his toolbox. "We mutant turtles would avoid the police regardless, but you at least have to make an attempt to obey traffic laws or else you could lose your license." He set down his toolbox next to the supposed car and shot Casey a wry smirk, "But let's worry about getting it to actually start first, shall we?"

"I'm telling you, the alternator is shot. Piece of cake, you'll see," said Casey as he popped the hood, wrestling with it a bit in order to get it to not only open but then stay open. "So let's get to it, D! Gotta fix this baby up so I can use it to strike fear into the hearts of evil everywhere!"

Mikey blinked. "You're working on it now?"

"It's not going to fix itself, Mikey," said Donnie patronizingly.

"But what about Raph?"

Casey and Donnie shared a glance before turning back to him, near identical looks of mild confusion on both of their faces. "Uh, what about Raph?" said Casey.

All three now wore the same expression. "Raph said you guys were going out tonight?" The statement came out as more of a question, Mikey suddenly wondering if maybe he had blocked out his older brother's grumblings better than he'd realized. The look of understanding that dawned on Casey's face told him that he hadn't.

"Oh, right," he said, smacking himself in the side of the head, "I totally forgot. Aw crud, guess I won't make it tonight after all. Tell'im for me, would ya, Mikey?" And with that, he turned back toward the exposed engine. "So that alternator—"

"Raph already left," Mikey blurted out, his brother's behavior from earlier nagging at the back of his brain. "Maybe you should call and talk to him."

Donnie raised an eyeridge. "If he's already gone, then there's nothing to worry about," he said, joining Casey in front of the engine, "aside from exactly how much trouble he's going to get into while out alone, anyway. It's probably best not to bother him."

"Yeah, it's cool." Casey didn't even turn around, craning his neck as if searching for something. "We'll bash some heads in some other time. But right now, Casey Jones is in need of some epic wheels!" Shoulders suddenly slumping, he let out a sigh, "Oh, man. Looks like we'll have to jack the car to get to it."

"'Piece of cake', huh?" mocked Donnie with a smirk.

The two car junkies already completely lost in their own world, Mikey silently exited the garage and headed back to the common room. Flopping onto his beanbag shell first, he lay sprawled out, staring upside-down at the bright colors flashing across the TV screen without really paying attention to the scene playing out before him. His brain kept stewing over everything he'd heard in the last two hours, a light frown on his face.

Casey calling Donnie for help, Raph waiting hours for any sign that Casey was going to show, Donnie offering to help Casey soup up his car, Casey forgetting his plans with Raph and not even calling to tell him...

When was the last time Raph and Casey had gone out on patrol together anyway?

"Think I could use some fresh air."

Jumping up, Michelangelo made a dash for the nearest exit, not even bothering to turn off the TV. As soon as he was topside, he headed straight for the area of town he knew Raph and Casey liked to patrol—Purple Dragon territory was perfect for "bashing in a few heads". Running from rooftop to rooftop, he kept his eyes trained on the alleys below, looking for any signs of a brawl, but it wasn't long before noises from above caught his attention. Next to him stood a building only a few stories higher than the rest in the area, but it was just tall enough that if he wanted to find out whatever was going on up there, he'd have to investigate more closely. Judging by the crashing, banging, and cursing, he thought he had a pretty good idea.

Climbing up the fire escape to reach the top, Mikey peeked over the edge, unsurprised when he found Raphael positively destroying a giant air duct vent. The poor thing was a mangled mess, and Mikey only hoped that his shell wouldn't wind up resembling it.

With a flip, he hopped onto the roof with a smile. "Hey, Raph! I been looking everywhere for—"

He was cut off by a loud growl as his brother smashed another sizable dent into the ductwork. "Buzz off, Mikey," he said, hands balled into tight fists, "unless you want me to start aiming for your face."

"How about we both aim at some other faces instead?" he pressed on, undaunted by the threat. "Pretty sure I saw a bunch of Purple Dragons ov—AHH!"

Mikey quickly jumped out of the way as a large fist was suddenly on a collision course with his head. Flipping and somersaulting across the roof, Raph kept up the chase, teeth grit in an angry scowl as he barreled full steam ahead.

"I said, get lost!" he shouted, swinging wildly as Mikey easily avoided the assault.

"Dude, chill!" he cried, holding out his hands in a sign of peace. "I'm just here to—WOAH!" He expertly ducked out of the way of a particularly vicious punch, Raph's fist instead colliding with some metal framework with a muffled clang.

"I don't need help from you or anyone else!"

The words were spat from his mouth with such venom that anyone else might have believed them, but Mikey kept up his dance, more convinced than ever that this was exactly where he needed to be.

"That why you complained about Casey for almost two hours?" he said, words that would normally be dripping with sarcasm now said plainly.

"Casey can go screw himself for all I care!" Mikey did not miss the slight stiffening of his rampaging brother's muscles. "If he wants to waste all his time with Donnie on that stupid, beat up tin can, then fine! Good riddance! Who needs'im?"

Making sure to keep eye contact while still avoiding getting his skull caved in, Mikey spoke in a calm, light tone, "I know how it feels to be left out, you know." Raph flinched at his words, his swings losing some of their ferocity. "So you could pummel me into oblivion, or—" the younger slowed to a halt, hands up in surrender, "—maybe you could talk about it?"

Fist still heading towards his face, Mikey closed his eyes with a grimace, waiting for the painful impact. But as said impact never came, he peeled one eye open to see wrapped knuckles inches from his nose, shaking ever so slightly. The hand was quickly lowered with a growl, still balled into a tight fist at Raph's side as he glared at a random spot on the ground.

"I don't wanna talk about it," he said before seating himself on the rooftop with a huff, knees pulled up as he crossed his arms on top of them. The childish display was undercut by the nearly imperceptible crack in his generally confident tone as well as green eyes that always seemed to reveal more than his older brother would probably like.

Despite the verbal rebuff, Michelangelo plopped himself onto the roof next to him, happy to have seemingly calmed the beast without a scratch. "When was the last time you and Casey went out on patrol, anyway?" he asked, curiosity getting the better of him.

Raph shrugged and scoffed, "Weeks ago? We've been out together once since the invasion. Streets are worse than ever, and now that dufus wants to spend all his time on a hunk of junk that looks like Donnie ran it over with the Shellraiser?"

Mikey laughed. "Dude, that's exactly what I—wait," his face scrunched in confusion, "when'd you see it?"

Shrinking even more into himself, Raph muttered, "Caught'em right before they took off. Just kept yammering on about all the weird stuff Casey wanted to do to it."

Neither Donnie nor Casey had mentioned seeing him, which could only mean he hadn't wanted them to. Raphael was pretty hard to miss with his booming voice and heavy footsteps, which was normally how he seemed to like it. Based on their conversation in the garage, though, it wasn't hard for Mikey to guess why this time had been an exception.

"Have you tried talking to Casey about it?" said Mikey, though he was positive he already knew the answer, even before Raph's derisive scoff had left his mouth.

"And say what? That I'm mad at him for not hanging out with me enough? Yeah, that'll help," he said, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Just tell him you wanna hang out more."

Raph fixed him with a glare. "Who do you think was the one who wanted to go out tonight? I've been asking him ever since we got the lair fixed up," he said, the bitterness in his tone unmistakable. "We used to team up several times a week, but lately he just heads out on his own. You heard his whole 'solo vigilante' bullcrap! And now he's got this piece of junk that he's perfectly fine working on with a guy he could barely stand a few months ago?" He turned away with an annoyed huff. "I don't need to be a genius to get the message."

Much as Mikey wanted to, it was hard to argue against Raph's logic. Casey's solo ventures hadn't exactly been a secret, and he had been hanging out with Donatello a lot more ever since the two were stuck working under the same roof back at the farmhouse. Raph had been quiet and distant at the time, likely too worried about Leonardo lying comatose in a bathtub to notice the change in dynamics. Not that Casey and Donnie getting along was a bad thing—even Raph had seemed relieved that their spiteful rivalry over April had morphed into a far friendlier sort of banter. But if Casey really was choosing to spend all his time either with Donnie or by himself and next to none with the guy that was supposed to be his best friend, well, it would be pretty impossible not to take that personally.

All the talk of friends not really hanging out in a while had Mikey's thoughts drifting to Leatherhead. He hadn't seen him since the defeat of the Kraang, and he'd been meaning to stop by the Mutanimal's new base of operations for a visit.

He suddenly perked up, his brain finally reminding him of who else would be there.

"Maybe you could hang out with Slash," he said cheerily. "He seems to be pretty chill now that he's with the Mutanimals." The suggestion had been offered with the best of intentions, but the way Raph stiffened at the mere mention of his former pet turtle had Mikey wondering if he'd missed something.

"Right," said Raph, voice still bitter as Donnie's morning coffee. "Slash, the guy who turned down my offer to team up because he was 'better off solo' and then turned around and teamed up with Pigeon Pete." He snorted dismissively. "Yeah, I'm sure the fact that he and Casey both did the exact same thing is just a coincidence."

Mikey swallowed a grimace at the forgotten similarities between the two, but refused to give up so easily. "But maybe—"

"Look, just," Raph cut him off, but rather than sharp, his tone sounded more resigned as he let out a sigh, "go home, Mikey. It's not like any of this really matters anyway, so stop worrying about me."

"Of course it matters, dude!" Jumping to his feet, Mikey wore a look of determination. Bending over toward his older brother who looked back incredulously, he planted both hands on his waist. "You think I don't know what this feels like? I watched the rest of my bros hang out with new friends without me for like a year before we busted Leatherhead out of Dimension X! And how about Chris Bradford—big dude, real famous, member of the Foot clan that pretended to be my friend before getting double mutated into a creepy wolf monster? I was seriously bummed out, thought I'd never make a real friend!" Plopping himself back down next to Raph, Mikey lightly elbowed him in the side. "But then someone cheered me up, told me that I deserved better. What kind of bro wouldn't wanna return the favor?"

The look Raph directed at him held a twinge of guilt. "I just tried to pound your face in, like, ten seconds ago, Mikey," he said flatly. "I'm pretty sure you don't owe me anything."

Michelangelo didn't usually try to talk his most volatile sibling out of one of his more violent moods, but seeing him sitting there gloomily with worst case scenarios stewing in his head made him wish he'd tried more often. Normally Raph exuded confidence—frequently to the point of arrogance—never showing any signs of resignation or loneliness. But if he was showing those signs now, it seemed likely that other angry tirades might be due to feeling similarly dispirited, and Mikey had to wonder how much of Raph's confidence was specifically used to hide that fact.

If that was true, simply trying to talk him into feeling better seemed a bit of a hopeless cause. Long ingrained patterns of behavior weren't broken with words—they were broken with actions.

"You know what, you're right," he said at last, his tone so matter-of-fact that Raph gave him a curious glance out of the corner of his eye. "You did try to pound my face in, and all I wanted to do was help. That definitely means that now you owe me. So I say we head on over to Murakami-san's to pick up some pizza gyoza and then swing by the Mutanimals' place so we can all enjoy it together."

He did not miss the way the scowl already present on Raphael's face seemed to darken.

"Mikey..."

"What?" he replied innocently. "There'd be plenty! We could split it, like, ten for me, five for you, and—"

Expectedly, Raph cut him off. "I know what you're doing, so just drop it."

Mikey fixed him with a pointed look. "When was the last time you actually talked to Slash?" he asked before quickly adding, "while not in the middle of trashing a bunch of Kraang, I mean."

Looking away, Raph rested his chin on his arms as he muttered, "Probably before I knew he hated the name 'Spike' so much."

"That's what I'm saying!" Mikey jumped to his feet. "That's, like, forever ago, dude! Would you know how to act around a guy whose family you tried to flatten into turtle pizzas? Maybe he just feels super awkward and doesn't have a clue what to say." Crouching down directly in front of his brother, he reached out and gently nudged a folded arm. "Come on, Raph. Talk to him just this once! I promise that if you're right and you guys really can't be friends anymore, the two of us'll stay out the rest of the night pummeling Purple Dragons, destroying ductwork, and inhaling ice cream. Whaddya say?"

For a moment, it seemed as if his words had fallen on deaf ears, but soon green eyes were once again fixed on him, an eyeridge raised quizzically above them.

"'Inhaling ice cream'?" Raph repeated dryly, the barest hints of amusement tugging at one of the corners of his mouth.

Mikey grinned. "I figure we can skip the customary sappy movie, but why deny ourselves frozen, creamy goodness?" he said with a shrug before standing back up and holding a hand out to his seated sibling. To his delight, Raph reluctantly reached for it with a sigh.

"Can't believe you're talking me into this," he grumbled as Mikey helped pull him to his feet.

"No one can resist the charm of Michelangelo with a plan that involves totally awesome food," he said as he threw an arm around his older brother's shoulder.

With some hesitation on Raphael's part, they both swung by Murakami's noodle shop before heading to the Mutanimal's new hideout, and while the impromptu meetup was a bit awkward to start, by the end it turned out that there was no need for Mikey to help Raph mangle more of New York City's ductwork. Now nearly midnight, a promise to hang out again had Mikey heading back to the lair with a bright smile on his face, but Raph insisted that the night wasn't quite over yet. And as the two sat next to each other on Raph's bed, ice cream pilfered from the freezer in hand despite the late hour, Mikey decided that the next time his older brother stormed off, he wouldn't have to ride it out alone. ____________________________________

A/N: My dad would be proud with how much I learned about alternators by writing this. So many scenes that were basically just me venting about the fact that all of Raph's friendships in this show were done so dirty had to be cut due to, yanno, being solely there for venting purposes and not actually adding anything. :P Whoops.

As always, critics and grammar police appreciated!

Jotaro Usagi-Hamato grew up with gunshots and death. He grew up surrounded by war and blood and battle, and he was surprisingly a pretty well adjusted kid. He grew up with war, but he also grew up with love, surrounded by his happy family, with his best friend in the whole wide world Casey Jones Jr. He was trained by his father, Leonardo, and by his Aunt Scylla. He was trained in his family’s ninpo, in an ancient martial art form lost when the last Great Dragon fell, and now he is running, running, running, lasers and bombs filling his ears as he supports his father, who groans in pain every time he steps too heavy on one of his legs, Casey next to him knocking Kraang dogs away.

    “Just a little further, Dad.” Jotaro mumbles. “Just a little further.”

    The steps of the Kraang Mechas’ feet rumble the very ground beneath them.

    Jotaro sets his father down on the ground, leaning him on a rock as Casey kneels next to them both, chainsaw in hand, Michelangelo behind them fighting off dogs. 

    “We lost…” Leonardo looks into the distance, at the Kraang Mechas drawing craters in the earth with their lasers. “The Kraang won.” He meets Casey and Jotaro’s eyes quickly, and draws a smile to his lips. “But we still have a ninja’s greatest weapon. Hope.”

    Jotaro half wants to laugh at what a cheesy line that is, but the ability to laugh right now is replaced by pure adrenaline and fear. 

    Leonardo looks over at Michealangelo, says something he doesn’t quite understand, not with the bombs falling everywhere, with the ringing in his ears. Michelangelo nods, starting to prepare to create some sort of spell. Jotaro feels his father’s huge, heavy, calloused hand on his shoulder, and sees that the other is on Casey’s. “Kids. Listen to me. Mikey is about to send you back in time, to the day that the Kraang came to earth. There’s a key. You need to find the key before it was stolen, and stop the Kraang.”

    Jotaro can hear Michealangelo groan out of pain, and looks over to see him literally disintegrating, Scylla now next to him as he smiles at them all, winks, and finishes the portal, disappearing in a burst of light. Jotaro’s stomach drops as Scylla stares at the portal for a few seconds, before looking over at the boys, kneeling next to Jotaro, Donnie’s staff still strapped to her back, as it has been since that cursed mission. She smiles at him softly through her long dark bangs, handing him a blade. Shirogane. His fur tingles on end as soon as it touches his skin. 

    “Find the key, stop the Kraang.” She says, Leo repeating it. 

    “Dad…?” Jotaro looks back at Leonardo, tears threatening to brim over his eyes. Leonardo looks to be the same. He hugs both his sons, squeezing them tight as he can hear the sound of a roaring Kraang monster, the voice vaguely familiar. Jotaro looks back to see Yuichi Usagi, his other father, dripping in Kraang slime and monstrous, charging toward them. His throat tightens with more tears, and he looks back toward Leonardo. “Dad?”

    “Kids, do me a favor.” Leonardo gets up, pushing them toward the portal. “Grab a slice.” Casey grabs Jotaro’s arm and starts pulling him toward the vortex, equally as tight throated and teary eyed. Jotaro looks back just in time to see his fathers fighting each other, blades through each other’s torso as Leonardo looks at Jotaro out of the corner of his eye and smiles, he, Yuichi, and Scylla all being vaporised in an instant by a Kraang laser just as the portal swallows Jotaro and his screams. 

    Casey and Jotaro drop into Times Square, into a huge crowd of people, where everything is too warm too loud too crowded, and Jotaro is numb numb numb and so incredibly over stimulated, and he can’t breathe, so he does what rabbits do best and he runs, runs, runs, away from the crowds, away from the too loud and too bright of the city, as Casey screams for his brother, searches for hours before he eventually decides to follow through with the mission. Because Jotaro is strong, and Jotaro will be fine. 

    Find the Key, stop the Kraang. 

    Jotaro is found by a person an hour later, with short black hair and familiar eyes, who takes him back to their apartment, despite his animal appearance. Who makes him soup and protects him when suddenly there are the Kraang again, roaming the streets again as Jotaro can do nothing but hide in the bathroom and listen to the sirens and the screams. Who recognizes Shirogane, who hugs him tight when the Kraang’s voice echoes in his ears, “WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE-” when he is sobbing at night because he can never go back and see his family, because his fathers would be so disappointed, because he can do nothing right.

    He hugs his best friend, Casey Jones Jr, sitting in his room and sobbing into his shoulder. As if the salty tears he sheds will repent for his sins, his failures. 

    But he knows they won’t. 

    Nothing can make up for what he did. 

[wow-its-me]

I have a 45 slide keynote presentation on my Mutant Mayhem predictions

Here’s some of them (basically all of them, summarized)

“Cowabunga!!” And other common catchphrases and battle cries, for example : someone yelling there own name

The movie ends with a pizza party

Raph and Leo get into an argument, and fight (either verbally and/or physically)

Everyone THINKS that splinter is dead, he’s not

April attempts to investigate by herself, learning vital information, but getting into trouble in the process, the turtles come save her

Donnie builds a robot! It brakes :(

Donnie’s bo staff is snapped in half during a fight

A mass mutation event is indirectly and accidentally caused by the Turtles 

Raph and Casey fight,, then their best friends

Casey attempts murder

Splinter gives extremely vague advice (on purpose, he enjoys the drama)

Neither shredder or kraang will be a main villain, but one (most likely kraang) will be a looming threat, a villain for a sequel.

Karai

Like always they will try to modernize the turtles, my guesses for this are, Mikey makes and outdated meme reference, someone is a twitch streamer, Donnie listens to Miku, new anime references

April and Casey will be teenagers, but older than the turtles

The turtles will all be the same age, with Mikey as the designated little brother, and Leo as the designated older brother

The idea of retro mutagen/anti ooze will be mentioned, if not a main part of the plot

Rob Paulson voice cameo

Leo Makes a bunch of dad jokes! His personality will be a mix between Rise and 2012

Raph tries to swear, but doesn’t/is interrupted

Appearance of an IDW character who hasn’t appeared in much else

Danny or Keno mention or reference?? (Maybe this one isn’t as likely but I want them to come back,,,,)

The earth protection force exists but ISNT APPART OF THIS AT ALL I’m talking like small Easter egg you don’t see till your fifth watch

Casey Jones is a girl (lesbian Casey Jones,,,, Gasey)

ALOPEX we know that the villains for this movie will be some sort of evil league of mutants. I think Alopex could easily be apart of this

Again the Krang and the foot won’t be important to the plot or characters but DO play some sort of role in the evil mutants thing

This will be MUCH lower stakes then previous movies

A main focus on the “henchmen” of other iterations, Bebop, Rocksteady, Leatherhead, Stockman

And I know I mentioned Casey a lot in this, however Casey Jones is very much a “lvl 2 main character” I don’t think that they can be introduced until the other characters are established, and probably won’t be included in this movie

Also the trailer will probably come out during the superbowl

[rottmnt-hc]

Picture this if you will

The end is near, the Kraang decimated most of the world's population, but Raph got an idea.

If what Donnie said about the Multiverse is real, then they can save the remaining survivors.

Again I have never watched TMNT 2012, but I know theirs an apocalypse episode.

A place for them to go wasn't overpopulated, and they won't be too questioned.

They head to the Mutant Apocalypse episode.

They create a bomb out of the portal to go off the moment they get close big enough to take out half the world.

(They don't know, but they killed all three leader Kraang but the world is inhabitable now.)

They make their home underground, away from the sun and many dangers.

Many humans, April and the Casey's, went mutant...

Raph and Leo both lead, they protect as Donnie and Mikey create.

They announced they were going by new names.

Angel, Donald, Leon, Michael, Cass, CJ, and Krepe.

(This is after the group finds the Oasis but so it'll be a while til they meet.)

Everyone and everything is thriving, Casey is growing healthy and this world provides both safety and danger which is nothing compared to Kraang.

12!Raph is the one to find them, he's suspicious but their not messing with anyone.

He tells his family and they all investigate together.

They don't find the resistance immediately, they find a young Casey Jones.

Casey is frightened at first but soon was set at ease by Mikey, who took charge.

Leon found them before Casey could lead them anywhere and force them to state their business.

They'll probably be allies but that's all I got.
