#the twins help leonidas with his escape skills

[vaniloqu3nce]

Vittoria and Naenia both dragging a suspiciously shaped Leonidas sized duffle bag past the kitchen.

Enid: Tori? Nia? Is your big brother in that bag?

Naenia: *thumbs up*

Enid: And is he alive?

Vittoria: Mhm! We’re gonna bury him in the backyard.

Enid: Again?

Naenia, signing: This week he wants to escape without his hands. I’ve been practicing my knots to show mami.

Enid, laughing: I’m sure she’ll be ecstatic, baby. Okay well, don’t kill your brother. And stay in the backyard where I can see you.

Vittoria, already out the back door: Yes ma’am!

Naenia: *salutes*

My Separated AU Ideas

So my Separated AU is inspired by the Draxum’s Twins where it’s Leo and Donnie who were raised by him (and in some places by @cupcakeslushie‘s amazing AU).

Draxum found the twins when picking up the rubble of his lab after Lou Jitsu escaped.

He never saw them as kids, just subjects to turn into soldiers for his war on humanity.

In their infancy they’d gone through testing and experiments to examine and develop their cognitive skills.

He never planned to name them but after Huginn and Muninn pestering him with stupid suggestions he settled on Leonidas and Demetria (Donnie’s AFAB in this and became Demetrius when discovering his gender identity).

He trained them both with lethal weapons. Finding Demi’s combat skills rather average despite his intelligence, he put more focus in Leo instead.

Demi became more of just a subject than a soldier. He’d help around the manor by up-keeping the maintenance and assisting in the lab, but he’d be the prime subject when Draxum was focusing on recreating the ooze.

Leo’s skilled shined so much that he was allowed to go on solo assignments, and was even gifted use of the mystic odachi.

Despite being lethal, Leo managed to keep his wise-cracking attitude complete with bad puns. Blame Huginn and Muninn.

Leo met Raphael, Mikey, and April first in the Mystic Mayhem that released the Oozesquitoes into the city. He was fighting them during that whole mess.

In this dire situation of his life-long goal being trashed once more, Draxum orders Leo to recapture what Oozesquitoes he can.

It snowballs from there into Leonidas and Demetrius discovering their brothers and becoming Leonardo and Donatello.
