May i request rottmnt HC of little sister (platonic ofc) who's admiring and looking up to leo, she sometimes wants to gets his approval more then any of her brothers or dad, she wants to go on missions with him too, and get deeply hurt if he ever made fun of her or just was upset with her for something she done.

All in all, reader admiring leo is helping him emotionally feel he's more then just a " face man " or " jokster ".

AHWJUSHJWSH I love this so much genuinely- (I forgot this was supposed to be a sister HC so I wrote it as GN- I realized it was sister right after I finished writing it)

summary: Leo has a little shadow, and he doesn’t know how to handle it (sibling post to Little One and Bath Time, the Kraang is completely independent as it affecting reader will change depending on the need)

TW: burns, mentions of death and nightmares, it’s fluffy mostly, hurt/comfort

𝘉𝘜𝘛 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘞𝘌𝘙𝘌 𝘈𝘓𝘞𝘈𝘠𝘚 𝘎𝘖𝘓𝘋 𝘛𝘖 𝘔𝘌

✭ he didn’t notice at first

✭ he genuinely thought he was just the closest one all those times you ran to him

✭ Leo thought that Raph was your favorite fearless hero. And it hurt

✭ it only occurred to him that wasn’t the case when you had your first nightmare

✭ you ran to his room, despite Raph being closer, hell Donnie was closer

✭ he was farthest from your room

✭ Leo woke up to quiet sniffles next to bed, he looked down and saw your orange fur and fallen ears. It took a second but he finally whispered out “ what’s wrong? “ you blinked at him with bleary tear filled eyes and started crying. He scooped you up and you cried into his shirt. You tail pushed against your side, he didn’t know how long you cried exactly. but your tiny frame eventually stopped shaking and you were fast asleep. laying back down he put you next to his side. He curled around you in a fetal position and wrapped his arms around you. The blanket covering the two of you as you slept. You both slept in really late, waking up at 10 AM. You mulled over your nightmare, it felt so real it was a dream where you were hero’s with your brothers…but you slipped while fighting a villain and you woke up before the villains weird pink thingy hit you. You ran to the strongest brother you know! Leo’s room was dark but that didn’t matter, he was asleep so you simply say next to his bed and tried to not to burst into tears, hugging your knees to your chest the moment you heard Leo’s voice you started crying. His voice was the last thing you heard in your dream. It terrified you to pieces that you died in your dream, Donnie once told you if you die ing a dream you die in real life..are you gonna die?! His hushed whispers brought you back to real time “ it’s okay batata “ he whispered while petting your head, eventually you couldn’t help going back to sleep, the warm feeling keeping you grounded and safe the whole time

✭ Leo never noticed how much to strive to please him

✭ but the way you always ask if we was watching before tricks

✭ the way you always ran to show him your high score on a game

✭ you wanted him to be proud of you

✭ and he was, he’s still so proud of you

✭ Leo hummed as he read, eventually putting down his comic and standing up. You haven’t come to him in a while, that was weird. Leo’s green hand moves his curtain as he came face to face with you, you did a small kick flip on the skateboard. A smile gracing your features, he cheered with Mikey. His eyes held a certain look, one he wished Splinter would send his way. Leon watched as you attempted a harder trick and winced when you squealed, your tail had gotten caught in the wheel again. he patted your head as Mikey worked to get it out, “ that was short lived “ you whimpered and pet your tail

✭ convincing him and Raph to let you on missions was so hard

✭ they both shot you down at the same time

✭ Mikey and Donnie never questioned you, only your ability to keep up

✭ Leo finally cracked and agreed you could come on one patrol and they’d see how you did

✭ Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Raph ran one minute you were behind them and the next you were ahead. you had figured out a way to use your tail to propel you, your clawed hands dragged across the rooftops as you leapt and caught yourself with your hands. Pausing your ears whipped and you turned, a loud ringing filled your ears “ hey do you guys hear that-? “ you turned and your brothers just stared at you “ no? “ Leo supplied “ its ringing, like a alarm “ Raph hummed as he cupped your ears “ it’s so loud- “ Mikey rubbed your back trying to comfort you as Donnie looked at his wrist- thing- you never really found out what it is. He blinked “ they’re right, a few blocks away there’s a reported break in at a museum “ your brothers blinked at you than at each other “ well let’s go then “ Raph announced getting up from his crouched position. The five of you ran across rooftops before eventually coming to the museum “ so what’s the game plan? “ Mikey looked over to his oldest brother and blinked, Raph hummed and started explaining. you ears lifted and you watched as one of the guys strayed away from the group, down a dark narrow hall… you looked back at them before launching yourself to the roof and through a open window in the glass roof. landing right on top of the guy, knocking him out “ oops- “ you muttered at the distressed sounds of your brothers. A few guys came down he hallway and you turned on your heels and ran eventually finding a room that you could slip into. It was hard hiding with your orange fur but you made it work. you heard a familiar sound of a portal opening up and sounds of battle. Poking your head out once they started calling your name you allowed the door to creak open. Raph was the first to spot you, he came rushing over and picked you up “ what were you thinking? “ he scolded. your ears fell a bit, used to his scolding, but what you weren’t expecting was finding a sour look on all of your brothers, even Mikey. You looked down and scampered back onto the roof from the open window. Bounding ahead a bit as you heard their hushed whispers. Coming onto a building you paused and looked at Leo his face holding anger laced in worry. You decided to just stare at the cracking green paint coating the buildings wall. “ you can’t just rush into battle. “ his eyes narrowed at you “ you aren’t stupid you knew that was dangerous “ Leo’s voice caused your heart to break a bit as you flattened your ears more, at this point they were flush with your head, they lifted a bit when you heard him sigh “ I think it was bad idea bringing you “ your eyes widened tears filling them, you glared and turned on your heels. you knew you were close to home. You smelt your father before you even saw the manhole cover, opening it you jumped down and padded down the familiar path, Leo was such a jerk sometimes

Leo didn’t know how to apologize and you were ignoring all of them, especially Leo though. You even ignored him when it was the designated “ Spa Day “. He fucked up, bad, he just couldn’t apologize to you. Approaching your room he sighed and opened the curtain, you weren’t there? okay- maybe in the living room? No..okay- don’t panic- Kitchen? No- you weren’t in any of their rooms. he paused while passing by the garage, you were hiding under the turtle tank your tail showing from it. You were sniffling and rubbing your eyes. He crouched down the words falling freely “ I’m sorry…I shouldn’t have yelled at you, I was just so worried. I- I shouldn’t have said all that “ Leo reached out to touch you but you shuffled away “ I was so scared you got hurt- and after the Shredder…Y’know “ you traced the gash wound on your side before nodded “ I forgive you “ Leo smiled and held out his hand for you to come out of the tanks underneath. Slipping out in one fluid motion he snagged you and started tickling you. Your clawed hands pushed against his arms as your loud giggles filed the room “ how about you start coming with us on missions? but you gotta listen! “ you nodded enthusiastically “ I promise! “

✭ the Kraang had made everything really hard

✭ Leo was so focused on keeping everyone safe that he failed to realize you were still on the ship with him when he closed the portal

✭ you didn’t enter the prison dimension thank god, but you had burns that got rid of most your fur and decimated your right side

✭ the Kraang sister ripped off your right ear with her weird tentacle

✭ Raph noticed you falling and caught you before Mikey opened the portal

✭ you lended a hand in bringing Leo away, but the shards melting away your hands were dangerous and they stopped at your neck instead of just your forearm

✭ you wouldn’t trade your injuries for anything. sure you couldn’t use your hands for a while but you would get better

✭ Leo barely opened his eyes before looking down, there you and Mikey lay, a big pile of knotted limbs as you slept on the side of his bed. His breath hitched at your wrapped up face and shoulders, when had that happened? You woke up with a blink and looked at Leo with glassy eyes. Lurching forward you knocked Mikey off the bed as you went to hug him, your entire right side was wrapped up and you didn’t use your right leg that much in leading you. “ what happened to you batata? “ you leaned into him and smiled softly “ I didn’t get off the ship in time, but it doesn’t hurt anymore, and opening the portal took a lot out of me “ Leo looked so sad at the news, you were 11. you shouldn’t have been doing any of this, you hear Mikey sputter “ Leo woke up and you didn’t tell me?! “ you laughed lightly, your ear flicking. Leo hummed sadly, he did wish he took you off first. Mikey looked at you and with a scarred hand he patted the furry side of your face. A burn that had healed reached across your muzzle and it make Leo sick. He remembered your loud sobbing before he passed out, oh how loud you cried for your older brother. He wasn’t just the jokester, or the face man to you, he was your favorite. He may be 2nd place or even 3rd in his other brothers eyes. But he was always gold to you.

Sketches of characters from various tmnt and rottmnt aus with various types of flowers. I will try to outline and color them later.

After sketching some of the tmnt idw characters I decided to do some practice sketches of flowers, this then lead me to sketch some of my favorite characters from various aus from rottmnt and tmnt in general. I also created a original character in the process.

The first sketch is @coffinpal / @0ddbugs tang shen who is responsible of taking care of the turtles do to the death of yoshi. For the flowers I reference one of her comics, where she was overwhelmed after the fact that couldn’t find her yoshi.

The second sketch is @darth-sonny Kirby. In Prime Leo, they are Leo’s child, they are very shy and is good kid that is going through a lot as of late .I also sketched an character that made up on the spot, his name is hiroshi who is a sibling to Kirby, which and isn’t official canon in the au and a character that I may use later down the line in a separate au from prime leo . For the flowers I referenced the Floriography book from Jessica Roux, which is a bouquet for new beginnings which includes: Lilacs, baby’s breath, wheat, daisies and crocus.

The third sketch is @somerandomdudelmao Donatello. In cass apocalyptic series, it explores the timeline of events where Casey endure the losses and pain of his New York 2044. In the au Donnie plays one of the major roles of keeping the resistance tech afloat while dealing with the physical ramifications. The flower that I used for that sketch is the heathers.

The fourth sketch is @daedelweiss Leonardo. In Life mission, Leo is the only child that splinter was able to save and he makes it his mission to save and reunite with his brothers. The flowers that were used are cosmos.

The fifth and last sketch is @68spidey Raphael. I’m not to sure what the full story of it but I believe it is a mixture of the timeline of the tmnt 2012 series and the original movies. The flower that I used are chrysanthemums.

Anyway I’m apologize on for having some of the summaries being this long, but I hope that you will check out some of the aus and other content that these creators make. I will probably make a poll later for which one of the sketches I might color and outline separately.

But all in all I hope that everyone is doing great and I to everyone to have a good day.

Midnight Comics (And other fun things/s)

ROTTMNT Donatello x Yokai!reader

A loose part two to The Junkyard at the End of the World

Part three is here

Part four is here

Part five is here

This takes place in the bad timeline, a bit after the Krang invasion. There's mentions of blood and light angst. Reader is forced to read comics.

3k words

***

I sat cross-legged on top of my office desk, struggling with the campus’s laser cutter.

Donatello sat across the room, perched on a spinny chair as he messed around with chemicals from April’s school. The glowing blue substance had apparently been found to permanently damage the Krang’s organic matter, and Donnie was running tests while April led a party out to get more.

I was doing something far less noble- trying to laser-cut gears out of acrylic for my lamp design.

I had set the base a few feet away from me. It was an old lamp from the 1920s that I took from an antique store a few weeks into the apocalypse, and if my Donnie-approved blueprints worked as planned, I’d be able to turn it on and off with a series of gears, like a tiny Rube Goldberg Machine….Also known as a normal manual machine.

There was a crackle of electricity, and I followed the sound to the comm-link I had left on the ground.

“Commanders present in the base, come in.” Said Leo’s voice over my comm-link.

“What is it, ‘Nardo? I’m on the brink of something important, so this had better be good.” Donnie scowled, speaking into his wrist panel.

“Actually, both ‘Tello and I probably need a break. We’ll be there in a sec.” I interrupted, leaning over Donnie’s shoulder to speak into his comm-link.

“Rad.” Leo answered, and disconnected.

Donnie shoved me off his shoulder, eyes wide. “What’re you talking about? We don’t need a break, we need to focus!”

I held my hands up innocently. “Forgive me, but you were working on this when I went to bed last night. And unless you have proof over the security cameras of you leaving to take a break between when I left last night and when I returned this morning, then…you need a break.”

He rolled his eyes. “(Y/N), thus is the life of a brilliant scientist!”

“Your left eyebrow is mostly wiped off.” I said, flicking his forehead. “Besides, we’re going to a meeting. That’s still kind of work.”

He flicked me back. “No, no, you go, fill me in later.”

I sighed, shaking my head in resignation. “Leonardo is gonna be mad…”

“...Hm...He’ll manage.” Donnie answered, grabbing a sharpie and a hand mirror to re-draw his smudged eyebrow.

I frowned, crossing my arms. “What if the meeting is important? What if, uh…they found some kinda….Krang infection antidote…. or something?”

He spun around in his chair, eyebrow back in place. “Highly unlikely. But just in case…fine. I’ll go if it gets you off my back.”

“Good.” I sighed. “Finally.”

***

“Oh. You just called us up for comics.” I said disdainfully as Leo proudly showed us what he’d found.

“Just comics?!” He gasped, shoving me closer to the stack of Jupiter Jim comic books he’d found on a scouting mission.

“Uh…yeah?” I said weakly, looking at the dusty pile. “I mean…I love Jupiter Jim as much as anyone with mediocre taste in sci-fi, but was this…really worthy of a meeting?”

Mikey was the one who gasped this time, grabbing my shoulders in shock. “Is this worthy of a meeting?! Who raised you?!”

“Uh…” I shoved Mikey off of me. “Please don’t do that, and uh…yeah no, I thought this would be…important-er? More important?”

“GASP!” Said…Donnie? (What hath the world become?!) “I’m not usually one for feeling emotions, but ohmigosh!” He exclaimed, running towards the stack in excitement.

“...Huh, I didn’t know your face was capable of expressions beyond mild amusement. What’re you doin’ with your mouth, ‘Tello? I hardly recognize you.” I teased, but he barely reacted.

…Huh.

“Okay, okay, you’ve convinced me boys. Tell me…what exactly is so great about these comics?” I sighed, sitting down next to Leo as he aggressively jotted his name down in each of the ‘this book belongs to’ pages. It was almost impressive.

Leo grinned. “Oh, you’re at the right place, (L/N). These babies have so much secret lore in ‘em, it’ll knock your socks off.”

I looked down at my clawed feet. “I can’t wear socks.”

“See? You’re already witnessing the effects!”

“I’ve never worn socks. Or shoes, for that matter.”

Leo’s grin didn’t waver. “Neither have we!”

I sighed, and picked up a comic book. “Jupiter Jim versus Saturn Steve…part forty-four. Wow. I am truly taken aback by this…work of art.”

Donnie grinned, clearly missing the sarcasm. “Oh, you think that trash is good? Wait ‘till you read my favorite- and by far the best and greatest part of the franchise- Atomic Lass!”

I nodded half heartedly. “Um…great?”

He shoved the book into my hands, grinning. “You’ll love it.”

I smiled weakly. “Uh…okay! Rad.”

***

They were right.

Ohmigosh, they were so right.

These stupid comics were freaking brilliant and I was maybe a bit in love with Atomic Lass. I hungrily flipped to the next page as the stack of already read comics grew ever higher…I was finally onto the fifty-ninth and second-to-last installment of The Atomic Trilogy, and I wasn’t ready for it to be over- oh wait I just finished the last page, shit.

I sat in silence for a minute, and checked the clock.

It was midnight. I’d been reading comics for the past four hours. Goddamnit. Luckily there was only one more book in the series, I noted as I reached for the stack of unread books.

Wait what?

I tried to reach for it again, only to find that it was…gone?

A chill settled in my bones as I realized the inevitable. I’d never had the final book.

…Donnie probably has it?

No, don’t bother him, it’s midnight.

Actually, he’s probably awake. I vote we bother him.

I smirked and stood up, slipping out the door as silently as I could as I headed down the hallway towards the Engineering Building.

It was nice out on the campus when people were asleep, I noted. Obviously there were still a few people awake, that was inevitable what with the sheer amount of people, but still. It was…peaceful. I was almost tempted to sing, but I resisted the urge for fear of waking someone up or being seen singing my heart out in solitude.

(I was really tempted to, though. It’d be perfect for my ‘being a real-life Disney princess’ checklist.)

I shoved open the door and stepped outside of Huo Hall, my dorm, and into the midsummer night air. What had once smelled of vague thoughts, falling stars, and foggy dream-like movements had been burned into the rotten stench of the world falling apart around us like everything else the Krang had destroyed.

It was moments like these that I was reminded of what I was perpetually trying to forget, and my Disney movie shifted and warped into a Shakespearian tragedy. Suddenly my throat wasn’t bursting with a rhapsody about the stars and the sky, but a requiem of lost hope and fallen dreams and fear of the future and I wanted to cry-

I sighed, taking a final glance at the smog-filled sky before ducking into the Engineering Building.

I was lucky, I told myself. I was surviving. That was more than most people could say. I had survived this long, and a few bouts of hopelessness weren’t gonna get in my way of locating the sixtith chapter of The Atomic Trilogy, building a rad lamp with my brand-new friend, and saving humanity.

So I forced a smile that slowly shifted into a genuine smile as I neared the Lab.

I grabbed a few drinks from the vending machine and knocked on the door.

No one answered, but I saw purple lights flashing from under the door.

“Donnie?” I called, knocking again. “Donatel-lo! Open up dude, I wanna fangirl about Atomic Lass!”

Still no answer. I frowned and shoved the door open.

He was passed out on his desk, wrapped in a purple hoodie. …Hm. I…should probably not bother him…sigh.

I shook my head and turned to leave, but paused first as I noticed the thermostat. 50 degrees fahrenheit..It was cold in here, and he was a reptile…that means he’s cold-blooded, which means he’s probably freezing, right?

I shook my head, and against my better judgement, I tossed a blanket over his shoulders. It probably wouldn’t make much of a difference, but hey, I was gonna do my part at keeping my new lab partner from turning into a turtle–sicle.

And with a moment of hesitation, I reluctantly decided to leave him one of the vending machine iced teas. Maybe it would just encourage him further to not leave the shared lab, but well…it just seemed…like a nice gesture, I guess.

I sighed, audibly this time. “You, sir, owe me an iced tea.” And with a final eyeroll at my failed quest, I slunk back outside towards Huo Hall.

***

Donnie cracked his eyes open at the distant click of…footsteps. (Y/N) footsteps, judging by the sound of claws on linoleum. His heart sank a bit- he wasn’t in the mood for interaction, especially not if he was just gonna get told off for ‘not taking care of himself and blah-blah-blah…’

But no, the footsteps had faded? And there was a blanket around his shoulders…

He slowly sat up, and glanced at his desk to see a bottle of tea and a threatening text message.

Jerk-face dragon: Hey, what the HELL did you do with chapter sixty??? I am going to HUNT YOU DOWN if you don’t surrender it soon.

Jerk-face dragon: Also u owe me a drink (kidding, it’s free lol)

He smiled, shaking his head. He’d respond later…

Oh wait, (Y/N) didn’t have the final chapter of The Atomic Trilogy?!

You: What did you DO WITH THAT COMIC?! I lent you all of them, you had BETTER not have lost it.

Jerk-face dragon: WAIT YOU DONT HAVE IT???

You: ‘Don’t’. Don’t forget the apostrophe.

Jerk-face dragon: Oh piss off with that, we’re in the midst of something important!! I NEED to know what happens next!!

You: Well then you shouldn’t have lost my comic!!

Jerk-face dragon: How are you italicizing words in text??

You: I’m using my own tech. I can italicize words because I designed the software.

Jerk-face dragon: …Oh that’s actually sick

You: How is that ‘sick’??

Jerk-face dragon: *Cool. Sick as in cool lol

You: Oh

You: Also WHERE’S MY COMIC?!

Jerk-face dragon: I wish it were the good old days when you could just pirate comics :(

You: Well it isn’t, and you owe me my comic.

Jerk-face dragon: i don’t freaking have your comic.

You: Scoff.

Jerk-face dragon: Oh yeah?! Well scoff right back at you, grape-boy!

Oh. Because of the whole…purple thing. What a weak comeback.

You: that isn’t even clever.

Jerk-face dragon: ‘That’. Capitalization is important.

You: Hypocrite

Jerk-face dragon: Likewise.

Donnie sighed, opening the bottle of tea. He would definitely be needing the caffeination if he planned on staying up longer… Oh. He reached for his phone.

You: Thanks for the sustenance. It is, perhaps, less refined than flavorless juice, but I appreciate the caffeine.

Jerk-face dragon: No problem lol

Jerk-face dragon: Also you should get some sleep you nerd

You: Hypocrite.

Jerk-face dragon: Okay, okay, fine :(

***

I sighed and turned off my phone, stretching out on my bed to the best of my ability. It was a tiny twin-sized bed, and if I stretched my claws out, they scraped the baseboard. Not only that, but there was only about a foot or two of floorspace beyond the bed.

I scowled, picturing the days when I first sealed the campus- It was just six months ago that the invasion happened, and three months ago that I had my nice bedroom. I sighed dreamily, picturing my old room- It was the fanciest suite on campus, clearly made for some rich famous fool who was probably devoured by the Krang.

I had unfortunately given it up for Splinter.

He deserved it, and I didn’t regret it, but I was still kinda salty about past (Y/N)’s empathetic-and-in-the-moment-decisions…

My comm-link blared.

I panicked, trying to reach for it and getting tangled in my blankets-

“(Y/N), Miky, Donnie, come in! Come in now!” Leo yelled over the speaker.

“Standing by, sir!” I yelped.

“Oh, you’re calling me sir now? I could get used to that- okay but seriously you guys, meet me in the med bay now!”

“Yessir- er, yes Leonardo!” I squeaked.

“What’s going on?” Said Donnie’s monotonous drawl, quickly switching to a more panicked sound as he spat the next part. “The MED BAY?!”

“On my way, ‘Nardo!” Yelled Mikey.

I ran out into the hall, tripping over my claws as I tried to sprint faster. I busted through the doors of Huo Hall, barely registering the sound of Mikey behind me, and darted across the courtyard toward the designated Imfirmery.

A cold dread washed over me as Mikey and I approached the building, making nervous eye contact.

“You don’t think it’s April’s chemical-recovery party….right?” I said quietly.

Mikey shrugged, sweat dripping down his brow. “I hope not…”

“I don’t think there were any- huh-any other parties out today, so unless someone’s sick…” Said Donnie between breaths as he caught up with us.

I swallowed and shoved the door open.

“Guys!” April exclaimed, pulling the two turtles into a hug. “Oh god, guys…Cass got hurt, we tried to fight it off but she’s losing blood and-”

Donnie and Mikey hugged her back, murmuring things about something-

I maneuvered past them towards Leo, Splinter, Raph, and the mangled body of Cassandra Jones.

“Oh my god….” I whispered, eyes trailing over the mess of bloody gashes all over her. “What happened? Where’s the rest of the party?!”

“The Krang zombies…” She groaned, voice cracking. “Infected…they know we’re here…”

“Oh shit oh shit oh shit- is she infected?” I exclaimed, examining her wounds. “Fuck where’s her pulse…”

“I don’t know, I don’t know-” Leo said, setting her down on the infirmary bed.

I took a shallow breath. Okay, okay, blue protocol. Cool cool cool, cool cool cool. I closed my eyes and sorted through the hydrogen and oxygen in the room, combining them into cool water.

“Donnie, go get the alcohol. The medical alcohol.” I ordered, floating the water towards a towel. I caught it in the towel and went to work at cleaning the cuts as best as I could, and Donnie returned a second later with the medical alcohol.

“Okay, okay, okay, okay-” I said in one breath, running a trembling hand through my hair, “Uh…uh…do we have any doctors onsite? Uhm-”

Leo frowned. “Raph, Mikey, Splinter, go find a doctor. April, clean her wounds with the alcohol.”

I nodded. “Leo, find the medical supplies and set them on the table. Donnie- you’ve got your metal arms on, right?”

“Duh.”

“Cool cool, you’re coming with me.” I ordered, turning towards Huo Hall. “We’ve gotta find my mom’s spells.”

He frowned, following me. “I don’t know. ‘Magic’ and ‘Donnie’ don’t always get along.”

“Well lucky you, you’re just a glorified purse right now, grape-boy.” I spat, picking up my pace as I broke out into the night air. He scowled but kept following me.

“That still isn’t clever,” He said helpfully. “And my battle shell is an amazing piece of tech, far beyond your primitive ‘purse’-”

“Well y’know what bud?” I snapped, clenching my fists. “I’m not in the mood for clever witty one liners. I’m tense. This is tense, and I’m scared. Cass is a human, and I barely know what to do- I just vaguely remember how I used to heal stray cats a lifetime ago! And did you hear her?! They know we’re here and if they catch us, we’re dead, and a hundred humans that trust us are dead, and we need my mom’s magic that I barely know how to use!”

Donnie didn’t reply immediately, though his stupid sharpie eyebrows furrowed.

“Maybe you’re less like Leo than I thought.” He said finally. “Look, I’m not good with this whole…’feelings’ biz.” He did air quotes, “But if it makes you feel better or something, we can fly there and back. It’s faster.”

I sighed, the tension slowly lessening as I got more oxygen into my lungs. “It’s okay.” I finally sighed, shoving open the door to Huo Hall. “We’re already practically there…but the gesture is appreciated, ‘Tello. Really.”

He nodded wordlessly, and we dove into the dorms.

I practically broke my door down as we reached it, and pulled out all the boxes out from under the bed.

“Ha. Whaddaya know, it’s The Atomic Trilogy chapter sixty!” Said Donnie’s voice from the head of my bed.

I shot him a glare, and he coughed. “See, I was right. You did lose it.”

“Segue- Here.” I said, handing his metal arms the bigger box and his organic arms one of the smaller boxes. “I don’t know which ones we’ll need, so I’m just gonna bring all three.”

He nodded. “But for the record, (Y/N), I’m not a purse. I’m a per-son. And my advanced tech would prefer if you kept that in mind.”

I scoffed. “Sure. Whatever.”

By the time we returned to the Med Bay, Raph Splinter and Mikey had found a human doctor who tended to Cassandra while April hovered over her in a panic.

“Okay.” I sighed, setting down my box. “April. Cass said that the Krang know we’re here- I assume that that’s accurate.”

April nodded, swallowing thickly.

“Theoretically, they shouldn’t be able to get through the current shields so long as these scrolls are intact.” I swallowed, and fidgeted with my sleeve. “But theoretically isn’t really enough right now…back to you, Leon.”

Leo nodded, a nervous yet hollow look in his eyes as he assessed the situation. It was almost scary how it was so similar and yet so different from how he’d looked this afternoon, and for a second I was reminded yet again of the fact that he was just as much of a confused kid as I was.

Damn. He was the same age as me, yet he was our leader…

And I thought the scariest part of this year would be keeping a solid GPA, not stressing about our dwindling population. I couldn’t imagine how it all must be for Leo.

“Okay. Don-Tron, you make some kind of…I don’t know, tech-y safe to lock the scrolls into. Mikey, you’re the best magic-user here, so start reading those scrolls as if they’re limited edition Jupiter Jim comics, ‘kay?”

Donnie and Mikey nodded, getting to work.

“Everyone else…” He sighed. “You guys can get to bed. The patrol is patrolling and the magic seems to be intact. Maybe read some of the comics we got today or something.” He shrugged, attempting an only sort-of convincing smile.

I nodded, body suddenly overcome with fatigue as red sunlight glinted through the windows.

T’was bedtime.

Rise of the Last Ronin

[Mikey is the last bother standing and has to take down Baron Draxum after Mikey failed to redeem him and had his mystic powers stolen. Draxum has almost taken over the surface of New York and the remaining humans are under the grip of the purple dragons. Mikey Must fight to save what is left of his home and his family.

Rottmnt future au, based off the last ronin comic with a rottmnt twist. I will be playing fast and lose with the rottmnt canon but the timeline split roughly in the middle of s2 before Raph found out Mikey was helping Draxum, spoilers for both the last ronin and rottmnt]

Chapter one:

Part 1: The Dragon’s den

The rain fell hard and fast, and a mist of chemical smoke lifted off the pavement, creating a fog that blanketed the ground up to the ankles. Purple spotlights crossed overhead illuminating parts of the worn and broken buildings. The Safe Zone was nearby and the only way in was under. The fence was over 20 feet tall and electrified and the spotlights had sensors that triggered the guns and missiles at anyone who was caught in them. A shadow moved under the fog as the purple hue moved wildly over the surface. The fog parted as fast metal moved in the air and plunged into a pillar of the fence cutting the linked chains as it fanned across the air, a small spark of electrical discharge fizzled outward as the metal absorbed it. The shadow moved quickly like a shark just below the surface of the water and with a quick and sudden jump, the figure broke the smoky façade. The figure was small but heavy in its movement, as it reached the fence, they pulled out a metal pole and used it to pry open the cut-up fence line. Gliding through the broken fence gloved hands gripped the handle of the metal object stuck into the pillar and yanked it free. The blade had been broken for years but it was as sharp as ever, the blue handle was worn but still bright. The sword and the staff were both placed back in their holsters. The figure looked to the sky and neon lights shun on their dark green face.

“We’re home, guys.”

‘New York, what a town.’

‘Smooth moves back there, baby bro.’

‘Come on big man let’s get what you can for.’

It’s been years since Mikey saw the city. It was not the same, it will never be the same. Not that it mattered now, all that mattered was the mission. It was all going to end tonight. Mikey moved to the shadows as the purple life moved all around the city streets. The purple dragons have gotten bold since he was last here. They must be getting scared if they made a curfew this early. The Safe Zone was the last stronghold humans had in the city. Draxum took over just about everywhere else. Killing or mutating any human that was left. The purple dragons made a point to kill any yokai that came into their Safe Zone, it was about 100 blocks and getting smaller with every attack Draxum sent their way. Mikey pulled his hood up over his face and made his way to the rooftops, it was a risk but it was still the fastest way to get to the objective.

‘Wow, if it’s this bad here imagine new jersey right about now.’

‘I always knew purple would liven the city up a bit, but trust the dragons to make it tacky.’

‘Guys, come on… wait is that a blimp, how did they get a blimp? We never had a blimp.’

‘I told you the materials were too hard to maintain!’

Mikey shook his head and looked over to the floating aircraft a screen was playing an announcement on a loop.

You are in the Safe Zone, there is nothing to fear. All mutants will be killed on sight. Curfew is currently at sundown for your protection. Make sure you give the nearest purple dragon rep your daily remittance if you fail to give your daily remittance you will be removed from the Safe Zone. You are in the Safe…

The purple dragons were always thefts first and foremost, they take anything and everything from the people that are trapped here if they could not pay then they had to work. Didn’t work enough then out they go into the arms of Draxum and his waiting army. But Mikey could do nothing about that now, he had to find the main purple dragon building. It was not hard to miss but it was not going to be easy to get into or out of. It was the most advanced building in the Safe Zone and had more weapons and traps than most could handle. But Mikey was not deterred. He pulled on the staff on his back and looked at the blimp hovering in front of the building. He had to time it perfectly but crouched on the edge of the rooftop. He timed the moving spotlights, and the movement of the blimp as he gripped the titanium bo in his hands, thumb hovering over a button.

’20 says he bites it.’

’20 of what Leo? We have no money?’

’20 minutes of silence maybe?’

‘Now that is a bet I will take.’

‘har de har har, your both hilarious.’

Mikey concentrated on his timing and when the lights danced over the blimp, pressed the button. He was in the air in a flash as the rockets from the bo moved him with such force that his hood fell off subjecting his long dark hair to the windy rain. Within moments his feet landed on top of the blimp and he spans the bo staff as the rockets subtracted placing it on his back once more. Mikey ran his hand through his hair matting it back on his head as the rain stuck it to itself. The raindrops bounced as they hit the blimp and rolled off its side. They would not spot him here as the purple dragons are arrogant enough to believe that they don’t have to monitor their tech for threats.

‘You owe us 20 Leo.’

‘Damn it.’

Mikey sat cross-legged on the blimp and pulled out a set of binoculars, the blimp would take him around the whole building on a loop so all he had to do was keep an eye out for his prize and strike when the time was right.

“There you are.”

It took the better part of two hours but he saw it. Donnie’s old goggles and the purple dragons were keeping them on a desk on one of the top floors. Leave it to a bunch of thieves to not know the true value of something. They only saw a trophy from an enemy long gone, what they failed to see was how it could be used to take down their current enemy. Mikey put the binoculars away and cracked his neck as he was starting to get stiff. He checked all his weapons and smoke bombs, as once he was in, he had to plan his way out of the Safe Zone, as the stealth part would be over and he had no plans of dying to the purple dragons tonight. He had to complete his mission, this ends tonight one way or the other. He shot his grapple hook through the air and it landed on a balcony above his desired target. He hooked up his arm to the line and place the bo in his hands, he moved his hands to have it in a spearing position. Mikey took a breath and jumped.

The rain stung his face as he moved through the air and past the moving spotlights eyes never leaving the window. The bo pierced the widow as it shattered as Mikey loosened his grip on the grapple line. He rolled and ran to the door that led into the office with the goggles. The building lights started flashing a deep purple with an alarm going off with a high-pitched wale. Mikey hears the sound of clicking and robotic movement and swings the bo staff hard and fast as bullets come flying at him from every direction. With one swift motion, he puts his hand to his belt and throws a Sai hard at the source of the bullets it crumples at his strength and goes right through it landing upright on the floor behind it. Mikey drives to retrieve it as a machine gun comes from the ceiling. Mikey jumps and swipes the hinges of the gun with the broken sword and drops all of his weapons to the massive gun in his small hands. It is still firing with no signs of stopping, Mikey points it at all the other equipment in the room showering it with bullets and debris. Once everything else in the room was still Mikey turned the gun on the door and shot it down before dropping and crashing the gun under a strong kick. He picked up his weapons and made a dash for the room broken sword in hand. There they were Donnie’s goggles in a glass case sitting on a desk, Mikey smashed the glass with the butt of the sword. With his other hand, he slowly reached for the goggles and his gloved hand held them gently as he placed them on his head, he flicked them down and they fogged a little and he was not sure if it was because of the rain on his face or the small tears forming in his eyes.

“Well, well, well, this is not was I was expecting. Did you really come all this way to steal my décor?”

Mikey turned to find the source of the voice it was coming from a projection on the wall. It was of a somewhat familiar face, a woman with golden brown skin, neon purple hair in a pixie cut, and lipstick with red-shaded glasses.

“Do you have any idea whom you have walk-in on mutant?”

“Do you?”

The woman squints and sizes him up.

“You’re his brother, weren’t you?”

Mikey does not answer but she knows. She smiles.

“How sweet, but pointless. All you have done is break a few of my toys, even if you get out of the building you won’t make it out of the Safe Zone and I look forward to adding that fancy stick to my collection, along with your shell.”

Mikey grips the sword tighter and readies his stance he tapes the side of the goggles.

“After all this time you still underestimate Donnie. You punks really do never learn.”

“Oh?”

“You’ll see.”

She bares down at him with a smug look.

“Whatever, I’ve been stalling anyway.”

“That’s funny.” Mikey puts the sword back on his back and smiles at the screen with a wink.

“So was I.”

And with that, the blimp hit the side of the building as it had been slowly wrapping itself around the building with the grappling line. Shattering widow after window setting off alarms and tech traps alike, pinning down all the guards she was waiting on. and with one more heavy turn, the tail of the blimp hit the building crumpling it and causing an explosion. Mikey pulled out the tech bo and smashed the window open setting off the rockets and taking off into the sky.

The rockets did not last as long as Mikey hoped but he did manage to get his footing on a roof as they gave way, he rolled but landed hard. Out of breath, he forced himself up and on shaking feet run to the fence line as all the spotlights searched for him, but this time he used the goggles to tell him when everything was going to move and it guided him out of the city. Which was good because his body was on autopilot and his mind was getting numb. Using the broken sword, he slashed the fence and run until his body hit the water, he swam in the cold water until he found a sewer drain and climbed in it. The water was still up to his ankles but he sat in it anyway. He breathed in and out hard and fast he closed his eyes and tried to slow his breathing.

He must have fallen asleep at some point because he could feel the sun creeping over his face. Mikey opened his eyes slowly as they felt heavy, along with the rest of him. Nonetheless, he lifted his glove to his teeth and pulled them off his hands, he then tosses them next to him and reached up to his face to put the goggles off his head. He held them gently and ran his fingers around them, he held them in both hands and slowly pressed them to his forehead.

“Thanks, Donnie, could not have pulled that off back there without you.”

‘No problem, Michel, but I do wish I could have been more helpful.’

‘Hey, Mikey you should rest more you have a big night coming.’

‘Yeah, Raph’s right little brother, time to get your beauty sleep.’

‘Says the insomniac.’

‘Hey, that’s only because I don’t need beauty sleep, I mean look at me.’

‘Shh, Leo.’

Mikey’s eyes were getting heavy again, so he placed the goggles on his chest and lowered his body into a more comfortable position. He was out of the Safe Zone but that was the easy part, his mission was far from over.

HC 15: The Last Airbender

Request: Could there maybe be one where it's how it would be like for each of the turtles (ROTTMNT, 2012, or 2014/2016 would be fine) to be dating someone who has powers basically like an Avatar in Avatar the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra?

A/N: Set this within the 2012verse since I don't think I've done a HC for those boys yet. Enjoy!

Tmnt masterlist

Ultimate masterlist

Leo: 💙

His mind explodes.

You can see it in his eyes, the way they sparkle as you use your powers in front of him for the first time.

He tries to stop himself from total embarrassment, but the fanboy is starting to surface.

"(Y/N) that's insane! That's like something from Space Heroes!"

When you feel like you can't control your powers, he takes you to meditate in the dojo.

He'll let you sit with him, or even on him sometimes.

Usually it depends on if he's feeling playful or not.

He sometimes acts like a mini Splinter, always giving you wise words and such.

He's scared when he watches you fight the foot or Krang.

He doesn't want you to get hurt.

100% protective boyfriend.

Raph: ❤️

It took him a while to get to grips with it if he's being honest.

But after that he though your powers were insanely cool and by extension, you were insanely cool too.

Although he already thought you were cool to begin with.

He isn't afraid to spar against you.

He actually encourages you to use your powers in a fight.

Because in his words "If you have 'em, use 'em!"

Loves seeing you flame some footbot or Hrang droid.

Makes his little violent heart flutter.

Helps you keep your anger down, uses methods that Splinter enrolled on him.

"You are definitely the hottest chick/dude I've ever seen."

Always says it with a smirk.

Always leaves you flustered.

Donnie: 💜

Immediately wants to know the science and logic behind it.

At first, he's afraid he'll drive you away with how many tests he wants to do on you.

But when he asks politely you agree to do some tests.

He's in absolute awe of you whenever you use your powers.

Like his eyes glaze over and he has this dopey look on his face as you're kickin' bad guys butts.

He tries his best to help train you but he isn't a miracle worker.

Tells you when you need to relax and take a break if you've been training all day.

He just worries about you.

Even knowing you after all this time, he still can't wrap his head around your powers though.

Mikey: 🧡

Compares you to the superheroes he reads about in his comics.

Literally cannot even talk when he's around you.

Dresses up as a superhero to match with you.

"But Mikey, you're already a superhero. You fight crime, you wear costumes, people are unaware of your existence..."

"But dude/dudette, you've got superpowers! That's way cooler than being able to kick a guy!"

Makes it his life mission to give you a call superhero name.

"How about Earthinator?"

"Sorceress/er Supreme?"

"Elemental Strain!"

Follows you around the lair shouting out random names until one sticks.

Will definitely ask you to heat up his drink or freeze his icecream for him.

If anyone else had asked you to, you would have refused but because it was Mikey you couldn't say no.

#mikey tmnt #leo tmnt #tmnt donnie #tmnt ralph #tmnt 2012 #headcanon #requests are closed at the moment #fandom #fanfiction #fanfic #fan #tmnt #fluff #reader #tmnt requests #tmnt leo x reader #tmnt raph x reader #tmnt donnie x reader #tmnt mikey x reader

Out Of Comfort

Rottmnt Donnie-Centric Fanfic

Genre : Adventure, Action, Humour, Hurt/Comfort

Side Notes : I wanna try something different. The fic that I made mostly conversational heavy. So, there’ll be parts where the characters talk, I will give them names to show who’s talking and there’ll be parts where the characters talk with quotation marks. I dunno how will this go, but I just wanted to give a new style a try, my style.

So, I really hope people will enjoy my stories!

Also, tcesters go the HELL away from here!!!

Chapter 1 Prologue

“HOT SOUP!!!!”

2 years after the incident of ‘you-know-who’, people expecting some changes. Others stays the same and not prone to change.

“WOOOAAAHAAH!!!”

Some says, changes brings a new and better you, but staying the same brings out the real you.

“OOOHOHOOO YEAAAH!!!”

But what if, you can stay the same, while make a change, at the same time.

“SHIIIIIIIIIING!!!!”

The sound of katanas piercing through the air current, smokes puffing here and there, the glint of bluish blur bouncing all over the place, like a spark of electricity caused by a short-circuited cable.

“Look out, big bro~” the blue blur flew in with high speed as he launches with a kick. The big red ducked down to avoid the kick, landed onto a black and red figure, sending them to a wall.

“Ey, watch it, Leo!”

“To be fair, I did warned you.” he smirked, hoisting his katana onto his shoulder.

“Leo!!” before Leo could react the big red threw a barrel at the figure behind him, the impact sended them to the same spot of the previous one, breaking the wall behind them and fell off the building.

“HEY!!! Watch it!!!”

“I was about to warn you.”

“Guys, there’s more coming.” the orange turtle warned his brothers about the oncoming reinforcement. They all readied their battle stance. A group of black and red figures charged in from a hallway. They awaits their next battle.

“Beep!”

The flooring on the hallway blew up, the group froze in midair, before they realized the floor’s missing, they all fell in with screams. The three brothers blinks in confusion, until a purple turtle flew up from the hole with a smirk.

Donnie : And, that’s how it’s done.

Raph : Donnie! Nice work!* gave him a thumbs up.*

Leo : *shrugs* Could’ve gone better myself.

Donnie : Thank you. Thank you.

Donnie landed to his brothers. The orange aka Mikey ran towards the hole.

Mikey : Whooaah, since when you make bombs, Dee?

Donnie : About two��years ago. I just somehow remembered that I made some, so alas, here it is.

Showing one of the bombs he made on his hand. Leo took a closer look at it.

Leo : Wait, you had these things for two years and you never use them?

Donnie : To be honest, it was still in beta. Also, I ran out of options about the supplies to make more of this.

Raph : How many more you’ve got?

Donnie : Well, these are the last ones and since there’s only four of them left, I shall-

Leo snatched the one Donnie holds before he finished. Donnie gave him the ‘seriously?’ look.

Leo : Ohoho, boy! You let us use this thing? Awesome!

Raph : Ooh, ooh! Can I have one too?

Mikey : Pleaaaaaaaseeeee.......

Mikey gave him the puppy eyes. Donnie figured they might react like this. He sighed, relunctantly gave them one each.

Raph : Yes!!

Mikey : Thanks, Dee!

They all inspecting the small objects as if they were toys. Donnie pinched his nose bridge.

Donnie : Okay, okay. Gather up, kids! Let me show you how to use it-

Mikey : Oooh, what does this do?

Mikey curiously about to press a button on the bomb. Donnie quickly grabbed it before it’s too late.

Donnie : THAAaat, is the instant knock-out button. Which mean, instant explosions. Which MEAaan, you do not touch!

Mikey : Oh, okay.

Donnie sabotaged the button real quick, semi questioning why he had it in the first place. He gave it back to Mikey and sabotaged the others as well.

Leo : Why would you put that button there?

Donnie : I dunno. I was young and strictly melodramatic. Probably, sometimes thought about ending life right there and then.

He give the bomb back. Leo blinked at his words.

Leo : Wait, what?”

Raph : Donnie, are you sure you okay giving us this?”

Donnie : Yes, Raphael. I am certain, sure and superbly confident to give you a chance, to try such dangerous, yet ‘fun’ accessory for one use only.

He gave back the bomb. Raph starting to get worry about the idea, despite having the joy to actually blow things up on purpose. Especially, with Donnie’s tech.

Mikey : Aaawww, thanks Don. That’s very thoughtful of you.

Mikey doesn’t seems to bother about it. He cherished everything his brothers gave him and he knows they did it with compassions. Even if it’s something that might blew up without notice.

Donnie smiled at his little brother, a genuine warm smile. He never thought that they will accept his gift. As much as he knows about the risk, but he does--somehow--promised them that he would build a bomb for them, and that was when he was six. Children’s mind can be chaotic at times, especially when they decided to watch action movies that involving explosions and how awesome that is seeing their hero epicly emerge from the fire.

Technically, they never wanted a bomb, they just wanted something that can cause explosions. Which means, they wanted a bomb.

Donnie : Like I said, once again. One use only, so use it wisely.

He then activates his bomb and dropped it into the hole. It goes boom and comical screams was heard from below. The trio stared at him in confusion.

Donnie : I had to. I heard them climbing up, okay?

Mikey : Oooh.

Raph : Oh, I see. Okay.

Leo : Okay, cool.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed Donnie’s ankle and pulled him into the hole. Donnie yelped in surprise as he dragged away.

“DONNIE!!!” they all yelled and went after him. Donnie got slammed to the ground onto his plastron. He gasped in pain before got thrown away onto the wall. He groaned as he landed hard onto the floor. He looked up to see the familiar big muscular guy with fire above his head. Laughing evilly at the downed turtle.

“Imma grind your bones, turtle.” he said, fist bumped himself. Donnie stood up, readying his bo. Before the brute charged at him, two sets of glowing chains wrapped around him.

“Cowabunga!!” Mikey pulled the guy upward, Raph came in with his flying fist, slamming down the brute, creating a crater. Donnie was surprised by the sudden assist. Out of the shadow, the skinny one sneakily emerge behind him. His giggles startled him, as he look back Leo teleported right between the two and kick the guy on the face. The Foot ninja got thrown through a wall, buried in debris.

Leo : Donnie, you okay?

Leo looked at him in concern. The other two joined in before he got to answer.

Mikey : Donnie!

Raph : Are you hurt, buddy?

Donnie froze for a bit, clutching his bo tightly. He shook his head as response.

Donnie : No, no, I’m fine.

His reply is semi-whisper, which concerns Raph. Mikey somehow urged to see how’s his shell doing.

Mikey : *gasp* Dude, your battleshell! It’s all broken!

Donnie peered his head to his back. He can see some of the metal bends and he could see some sparks coming out of it. Great, that’s another one this week.

Donnie : Yeah, I figured. Don’t worry, it’s still can be fix.

Leo : At least, you got some more at home, right Dee?

Leo patted his shoulder. Donnie remained quiet, his eyes fixed to the ground. Leo grew concern with his brother being quiet.

Leo : Donnie?

Raph and Mikey noticed the change. Could Donnie be possibly running out of Battleshell? No, there’s no way. Surely Donnie had fixed some of them, and perhaps he made some new ones as well, right?

Donnie still not answering, his hands trembles while holding his bo tighter than ever before. He inhales with his nose, then let it out through the mouth with shaky breathe.

“Yeah, yeah. I do. I do.” he finally replied, although this time it sounded more unsure. Leo smiled at his twin. He felt a little bit relief that at least there’s still something he can use to protect his shell. Leo put his arm around Donnie’s neck, hugging him in the way.

“Come on, let’s go home.” Leo led Donnie and the rest back to the tank.

They drove home in a rather awkward and quiet atmosphere. It was supposed to be another celebrations for accomplishing their mission, but Donnie’s quiet demeanor made an exception tonight. Donnie hadn’t said anything ever since they asked about his battleshell. He just sits there at his spot, putting his battleshell onto his lap. He done nothing with it, just staring.

The others don’t know what to do, or what to say. Every few seconds, they only glanced at his brother. Unsure if they have the courage to do some pep-talk with him. Of course, Donnie can feel they all staring at him.

Donnie put aside his battleshell, the others quickly look away as if they never stare. Donnie put on the usual emotionless face at them, leaning further to his chair, arm-crossed at his chest.

“If you guys wanted to say anything, just say it.”

“Nonono, we just thought that you-” “What? Noooo. Did I say anything? Nah I-” “Oh, it’s nothing, it’s just that we-”

They all spoke at the same time then stop when they realizing it. Donnie blinks, he certainly didn’t understand what they’re saying right there. Leo decided to go first.

“Donnie, if you need any help, you can ask away, okay?” he smiled reassuringly. Donnie unsure of what to say with that.

“We can help you fix your battleshell.”

“Yeah, we promise we won’t touch anything else without your permission.”

Donnie stared at each one of their eyes. They didn’t seems to be lying about offering help. Donnie didn’t feel they should, though. Well, it’s very kind of them, but they don’t have to. He can fix it himself, it’s his thing after all.

“I appreciate that, dear brethren. But I’ll be fine. I can do it myself.” he said. The others understands that, they nodded with his reply.

“Okay, then.” Leo said, “But if you do, just please ask, okay bud?”

“Sure, Leo.”

Sooouu, I started this by wanting to explain why Rise!Leo wouldn't be a good leader right now and I kinda ended up explaining where I would take the story if I wrote it. Anyway I'm a bad writer and English is not my main language so if anybody gets inspired by any of this and decides to write a fan-fiction from it, be my guest (and please link it).

First of let's start with my initial why Leo wouldn't be a good leader. Even though he has a great gut feeling (I think he was wrong only one time in the first season), is relatively good at planing, is able to motivate his brothers with his speeches and his brothers do listen to him sometimes he lacks responsibility and confidence.

Different to Donnie, who is awesome at one specific thing and seeks recognition for it, Leo does not have a specific thing he is good at. Instead he seeks recognition in medals and competitions, he is boasting about his wins because they are the only thing he has going for him and nobody else is praising him for anything, even when he is right or saves somebody. This lead to Leo thinking he is not good enough on his own, even tough he proved otherwise in Bug Busters where he was alone in Big Mama's Hotel and was still able to save his brothers. The first thing he did in Portal Jacked when his brother were lost was to go to Señior Hueso for help(sorry for misspelling his name), in Flushed but Never Forgotten he went to his father for help. Unless he can't help it, he makes sure that he is never alone in a situation that might go south because he lacks the confidence to use the skills he has.

The second point is the fact that he isn't responsible enough to be a leader. He tries to avoid responsibility for his actions every chance he gets. That's why this Leo doesn't want to be leader because he knows that he would be responsible not only for himself but also for his brothers. And that ties in with his lack of confidence. However, in Flushed but Never Forgotten, when his family was in danger he threw away his reason, went after them without a plan and took on full responsibility for the plan while being ready to be the only one to take punishment, sacrificing himself. Meaning he is only ready to take responsibility in dire situations.

On the other hand Raph, being the oldest, is used to care and be responsible for his brothers, but he cares too much. He didn't want to let Mikey go on a mission alone, his plan for better teamwork only worked because his brothers pitied him and when Donnie put their family in danger with his gifts Raph didn't want to hurt Donnie's feelings. This are things a big brother would do, not a leader. As it is right now both Raph and Leo are bad leaders, the former for caring too much and the latter for not wanting to be one.

And this where I explain where I would take the story so Leo can become a leader.

First off, Leo needs to get confidence and more leadership skills. But where would he get that? Of course by being away from his family and meeting new people. But, where?

Currently, we know three places where he can go do that:

human world(with the thing that turns yokai's into human)

The Mystic City

Battle Nexus

The human world is more for Donnie. He already has a group he fights against (Purple Dragons), and is more interested in normal school than his brothers. Aside from that, Donnie has the brains to recreate the thing that could turn them human plus he would greatly benefit from being a human. Donnie's main issues are his constant need for praise and his lack of understanding other people's feelings. For him meeting teachers who praise him and people who have the same intellect as him would do wonders on his mood. Of course he would also need to handle bullies and realize that in the real world team work and communication is really important. Plus you won't be able to choose who you work with, you need to be able to compromise and understand the other persons strengths and weaknesses, that also means putting other people before himself. Donnie also needs to understand that, as much as hates being sociable, everybody can be useful so he needs to make a lot of connection, even with people dumber than him and he is not allowed to insult them. Leo would be there to tell him that, but Donnie wouldn't listen to him until he is in a great pinch. In the end he realizes that Leo was right, but never tells him that and his live improves greatly.

Leo is a sociable person. He would be quick to make new friends and maybe be relatively popular. He wouldn't benefit at all from going to a human school.

The Mystic City is not a challenge for Leo. Aside from Draxum, there aren't really dangers he would need to face there. The last time he was there, he survived without his sword in the bad part of the city. He did have Hueso with him but why would Leo go there alone in the first place? Leo also doesn't have good mystic powers, but do you know who does? Mikey. From what we have seen of Mikey, he is friendly and creative. Mikey would thrive in the Mystic City, find friends, be creative and maybe even learn a thing or two to impress his older brothers. For why he would go there, he would want to prove himself to Raph. He is not just a baby anymore, he can survive without him breathing down Mikey's neck. Leo would be supportive, give Mikey some advice on pirates and bad places, maybe ask Hueso to help Mikey discreetly. It would work out in the end. Leo would be right once again. Raph wouldn't like all of this one bit.

Now to the Battle Nexus. I really thought that this would be the perfect place for Leo. Being a champion is an easy bait for him, but Leo isn't dumb. He wouldn't trust Big Mama and would not easily fall into her trap. Besides the Battle Nexus is one against one, not for teams and why would Big Mama want Leo there in the first place. No. She would want somebody strong, feral, somebody like Raph. Give Raph some cutesy stuff and the trap is laid. So we have a Raph that is totally alone in the Battle Nexus for days while fighting big scary mutants and yokai. He would go crazy, and wouldn't find a way out. Cue, the other three trying to save him with Leo's plan. It fails, miserably. For the first time in Leo's life he was actually wrong at something and it could have cost his brothers lives, it was all his fault. And this time it wasn't a lesson by his father. He needed to plead Raph to calm down while protecting his other two brothers. Raph listens to Leo's pleading and calms down after a while, but in Leo's eyes Raph didn't calm down because of him but out of his own strength, since, after this, Raph learnt how to control his feral side and was able to save all four of them all on his own.

All of Leo's brothers overcame their weaknesses. They became better ninjas. Leaving Leo the only one who hasn't changed. He was still bad with his mystic powers, and the medals he earned were worth nothing.

So how would Leo grow? Simple, just like all the Leos before him. He gets to fight the same enemy as them but in a different way. There was a shot in the episode Shadow of Evil(around the 18 minute mark, can't screen shot it now) where Draxum creates a rift. On one side of it are three turtles and Splinter and on the other side, The Foot and Leo. All of them look surprised at where Draxum is. Now, this could be as to create a balance in the scene or for foreshadowing. I will choose the latter for my story.

As we know Draxum and the Foot soldiers are not on the best terms. There will be betrayal and fights in their future. However Draxum became too powerful for two soldiers to defeat, so they steal the finished armor but they don't wear it. Fast Forward to turtles plus April plus Splinter vs Draxum. Turtle family loses and the only one to escape is Leo. Leo has show to go to drastic measures for his family and is ready to accept help because he is too scared to fight alone. Enter The Foot Brute and Lieutenant with the finished armor. They tell him about how the armor grands wishes and could give Leo the power to save his family. His gut tells him that this is a bad idea but his gut was wrong before, and this was the only way to save his family. He accepts wearing the armor to save his family, together with the Foot clan.

Of course they succeed, but Draxum manages to escape. Now that Leo's wish was granted the armor or, better, Shredder takes over Leo's body. Like I said, Leo is skillful but he doesn't know how to use his skills and has no confidence but imagine Leo's skill and weapon in Shredder's hands. The turtles are lucky that the new villain isn't yet used to his new body, so he decides to escape, together with the Brute and Lieutenant.

And that's it for what we see of Leo for a while. The other episodes would be about a life style without Leo. His family will realize how much Leo has actually done for them and even start missing his jokes. They will live their lives, fail and succeed at stuff, while searching for Leo. Each turtle will get their individual episodes that seems fine, but kinda off in way. This way ROTTMNT can fulfill their promise to not be a Leo centric show because every turtle gets their own arc. They will have their own enemies and issues to fight and overcome, while Leo is just a supporting character and he importance only becomes clear once he is gone.

Now, while the other turtles had a few episodes of their story arc with some interludes for comic relief and episodes of the family members, I want Leo’s story to have one half hour episode episode, like Shadow of evil. So, what is happening with Leo?

While his his body is controlled by Shredder, his mind is trapped in the armor, together with the person who sealed Shredder all those years ago, Karai. You can imagine her anger when she realized a turtle let Shredder lose. They talk. He explains who he is, how he got here etc... Karai explains to him what ’here’ is and who Shredder is. Leo realizes he released armageddon upon the world, and, more importantly, his family. However not all hope is lost. Since Leo has Lou JItsu’s DNA, he, in a way, is related to Karai, meaning he has the power to fight against Shredder and take his body back. Leo tries calling Karai grandma, that did not end well. Anyway, Leo doesn’t know how to fight against Shredder so Karai offers to teach him and since they are in the armor Karai decides to use Leo’s memories to create a copy of Lou Jitsu to boost Leo’s moral.

Leo needed a pep talk, a bunch of stuff happens but Leo still wasn’t able to understand how she could fight against Shredder and Karai got more irritated by the minute. Meanwhile, Shredder realized what Karai was doing, knowing what and who Leo is and how dangerous the situation could get for him, he separates Karai and Leo by trapping Leo in a simulation of what happened in the war when he was sealed according to his and Kara’s memories. Bad move.

Leo was stuck in a never ending loop, where a bunch of good people died and Karai sacrificed herself to stop Shredder. Turns out Karai was quite similar to Lou JItsu since she didn’t care for her families destiny as well and that was the catalyst for her families death by the hands of Shredder. After a while Leo had enough and managed to use Karai’s training to stop the loop, turn back time and fall right into the story. He meets Karai and Usagi the young, soon to be leaders of their repective armies. Right then they were arguing about what they should do. In fact, one of the main reasons why Shredder couldn’t be defeated in the past was because Usagi and Karai would argue too much so they created two armies instead of one. Leo knew if they had put their differences aside or at least compromise lives could have been saved, so he decides to change this simulation

He acted as the middle man for the two and compromised a co-leadership. They didn’t trust him at first but with time they became close friends with Karai teaching Leo about swords and Usagi helping with the mystic powers They created an army and when the time came to choose a leader Leo was chosen with Karai and Usagi being his advisors. They managed to defeat Shredder. Leo got back to the Karai in the armor and they continued their training until Leo’s family came to save him.

The turtle plus April and Splinter used their training from their own arcs to save Leo. They were apologizing to Leo and all the typical stuff. Leo didn’t finish his training with Karai so he still wasn’t able to defeat Shredder for good but he couldn’t let Shredder use his body to kill his family, Karai understood and let him go with a last words being something along the lines of ‘Go my teenage mutant ninja turtles’, giving them their name while he just said ‘bye, grandma’.

He managed to get his body back but the armor and Shredder were still alive. Giving Leo an end goal. After this incident Leo had some PTSD to handle(he fought in war). Things happened and everybody gradually realized that Leo would be good leader and he was offered the position he accepted. I mean it couldn’t be worse than what happened in the simulation,
