I've never been the type of person to post my ideas online, but I'm giving it a shot(hopefully I don't regret this). So as you might know, I like TMNT, the turtles literally have my SOUL. And so, I've been thinking, what if I created my own AU! So I'm sitting here, staring at my walls, trying to think of something that is hopefully kinda original and won't get me mentally killed. Then I have a thought. What if those cracks on Mikey's arms didn't stop spreading? What if the mystic energy killed him after he saved leo? So, yes it kills him, and after it does, the grief and guilt sets in like we would expect. But Donnie's acting a little strange. Asking Baron Draxum weird question like, "do you think we could clone a person?" Draxum, not really thinking much of it answered truthfully. Yes... And no. With the right studies and materials it could be possible, but it would be extremely hard to do it successfully. Which was probably stupid on Draxum's part, this is Donatello we're talking about! But to be fair, he's pretty occupied, like grief. "Draxum? Grieving?" Yes. Grieving. He may act like he doesn't care about the turtles, but deep down, those are his sons, and he never got to tell the youngest that. But, that was all Donnie needed to hear to begin to attempt to clone his baby brother without telling Raph, Leo, April or splinter, because obviously they would stop him. Attempt one failed, attempt two failed, and many other attempts all failed. Just as he was about to give up, one last attempt, and there was a living organism. But Donnie didn't expect it to be.. a baby. In fact he didn't expect anything, he didn't think this far ahead. And now he had to deal with the consequences. He had no choice than to tell everyone what he was up to, and why he wasn't leaving his lab. They, of course, weren't happy. But they had other things to worry about, like the baby Mikey clone. What were they going to do with it? They were still dealing with the loss of Mikey, and now this? Damnit Donnie.. now they had to raise a baby that looked exactly like Mikey, sounded like him, and act like him. He doesn't have a name yet, nor does the au, but I love him already, and I bet sure enough.. it'll still be only me or friends loving him. I do think the clone would be raised by Draxum more than anyone else. I probably won't draw a comic since I suck at drawing the turtles and other characters, but I'm trying to get better at it.
