Year 1
//It's been a over a year since I made this blog, I wanted to open myself up into the tmnt fandom.. but I was apprehensive at the time. It came down to me wanting to enjoy whatever might come my way, and also wanting to believe not only in myself but the fandom. I want to again say just how amazed? Shocked? Surprised I am for receiving good words from many of the people that do follow me. I never expected it, and it kept me coming back- But it wasn't the only thing making me crawl back to you all.
New Friends, Old Enemies || Leonardoleads87
She was starting to grow sleepy again. There was something about having the other close that invoked a drowsy feeling of contentment. The kiss was warm on her lips, but sleep was chasing away her anxieties and she’d kiss him again if it meant he stayed. In a lot of ways she wanted to kiss him again, to awaken the fluffy of fluttering wings in her belly and to feel the heat that coursed through her when he said those beautiful words. She blamed such bold thoughts on her drowsy mind and giggled softly as he pressed his lips to her cheek.
She curled close to him, arms clasped as far around him as they would go, feeling safe and sheltered as he pulled her tighter to him. Again came more musical words, but these she knew. He said these to her often before they went to sleep. “Good night, Leo,” She half yawned as her eyes started to slip closed.
—————————-
”Well…we could go back to the liar,” Mikey said, his eyes burning with purpose and resolve. “Cherry likes you and needs you and…and I need to get my brothers back together. We could help…we could all be a family again, April. He’d never find us in the sewer, you know that,”
His face twitched at her words, “And I’d rather die than see that monster hurt you again, April. Let us protect you…like we used to,” His heart twisted. She was the most important thing to him. Sure, it had felt like he’d lost her for a moment when she was so absorbed by Raph and Donnie, but at least they wouldn’t hurt her.
———————-
"You know, egghead," Raph growled as he looked around. "That ain’t a half bad idea. We should go and check up on her,"
He knew something was wrong. Every fiber in his body said so. He turned his gaze towards the door and started to make his way towards it. “Put your science kit down, Donnie, and come on,”
He could hear her breathing in a relaxed and slow pace, signifying that she was falling to sleep. He quickly reached over, pulling the comforter up more, covering her a little more with it as well as himself.
Moving a hand up to brush a few strands of hair away from her forehead before placing a gentle kiss there, whispering a soft good night to her. He hoped that he didn't disturb her sleep too much as he closed his eyes, allowing sleep to take him away.
He's last thought was that he didn't want any unwelcomed guests in his room. Mainly his brothers, But little did he know what was going down in the other rooms.
------------------------------------------------------
Both of them was getting close to the manhole that would lead them to their home of hell, she knew Mikey's idea was great. The thought of turning around and going home was like giving bubble wrap to a kid, she wanted to, but she was so scared.
It could be because she was brainwashed to believe that her place was there, or maybe she was starting to develop stockholm syndrome. She wasn't stupid, she knew how she was in the past, but the many beatings she had gotten over the years and beat that out of her. she wasn't what she was. and Mikey is the same too.
"You know he'll come looking, I can't go back." Fear was evident in her voice, she wanted to break down. "seeing your brother and how badly beating he is, I don't want the rest of you to suffer." She only made excuses, excuses, excuses. She was controlled, and she didn't have the mind to break free, nor her will-power.
She calmed down enough as they both exited the sewer from the manhole "Mikey, I promise I'll get you out of this. I'll find a way to trick him." Mikey needed out, and he had a home, He didn't deserve this anymore then what is. "Go hide." The only place she knew Mikey could hide as she opened the door to find a man standing there.
------------------------------------------------------
Donatello's jaw went slack as he watched her brother walk towards the door as if he was on a mission, he didn't believe Raphael would go ad do just that. Placing down one of his old books that he hasn't seen since years, he quickly chased after Raphael.
"You should be resting..." He said as he got close "I doubt April would be pleased to find out that you haven't given wounds have had a chance to heal!" The last of his word's coming out a bit harsher than he wanted.
TMNT vol.1 #54
Donatello: What's on your mind, Leo?
Leonardo: This confusion... This lack of clear purpose... It weighs on me... like the cold of the approaching winter, it seeks to paralyze me... and I can't seem to shake it--
...
Michelangelo: Leave? But... but... what about our duty? What about... honor?
Leonardo: Honor? Heh... I'm beginning to think there's no place for honor in this world. Greed... Hatred... Violence... The lust for vengeance... These are primary motivators.
Raphael: What motivates you, Leo?
Leonardo: Lately... I don't have a clue.

Cherry smiled a little as Leo spoke softly and then closed his eyes. The expression seemed tired and weary. He’d gone through a lot today, a lot more than she had. She pulled him closer, nuzzing her cheek against his, stroking the back of his smooth skull, fingers catching and playing in the length of the bandana. “Stay?” She asked quietly and simply, knowing that despite all the confusion inside her, she didn’t want him to leave right then.
—————————————————-
Michelangelo didn’t know what to do. He hated when things were like this and he just wanted to bash the creep’s face in. He couldn’t though…he promised April, long ago, that he wouldn’t get involved like that. That he’d let her fight her own battle. He reached out and touched her shoulder, though, wanting to help.
”Hey…it’s gonna be okay…we’re all together again” He hesitated before saying. “You…don’t need him, April. Come on…we…we can go somewhere else,”
———————————————————-
”I don’t like it,” Raph grunted as he pushed to his feet. A wave of pain and dizziness hit him. His good eye blurred and he grabbed the edge of the table. He hated this. He hated being so fucking weak. ” There’s something going on, Donny…” He frowned as the spell passed.
Turning his head to give her a soft quick kiss on her cheek, "Stay." He whispered out, his breath brushing against her skin and hair as they laid there. He didn't need to be asked this, but if she needed more reinsurance that he'll be by her side tonight, then he'll do it.
Laying here together tonight he had started thanking his father for his teachings, for if he never knew how to defend himself or others, then he might have lost her today.
His grip on Cherry tightened a little, trying to keep her close. She is safe, they're safe. "Oyasumi nasai.."
---------------------
"Where Mikey?" They had this talk so many times, but each time she refused to give up. She had to not only him now, but his brothers. She knew that if she didn't come around, he'll hunt for her, and Mikey being Just as protective over her as she is to him.
He'll fall right into the mans hands. It's was like terrible horror movie she had watched in the past, only it's real.
"I rather take the punishment than to see you captured, or worse." His brothers are back, which made it even more dangerous. Seeing Raphael in such a state made her even more determined to carry out this terrible idea of hers.
That wont happen to him again or the rest.
--------------------
"What should we do? Walk right in to her home and demand what is going on?" He spoke as he finished cleaning up the area, the mess they made was small, but he wanted his equipment clean.
The suggestion was a joke, but for some reason he felt the same as Raphael. There was something going on, and April is not telling them anything.
So much for Lo Mein!
"Right about now would be a great time, assholes.. Come on."
Raphael muttered under his breathe as he now looked upon the large worm attempting to climb above the large gasoline tanker. It spread open it’s mouth, exposing it’s rows of teeth which were likely sharp enough to tear into him, and large enough to crush him. It roared furiously to the aggressive red masked pond slider but Raphael was far from intimidated from it. However he knew that he wouldn’t be able to kill the thing with his weapons of choice. So it was all up to the other Turtles.
"What the hell.. April?"
Raphael then sharply turned his head as he looked to Michelangelo and Leonardo, who were rushing to grab a hold of the woman in the yellow jumpsuit and the white boots. This was April.. their version of April, and she appeared to be so different from the one which he knew. He looked to her, giving her something of a firm stare but he immediately returned his attention to the giant worm as it was roaring and climbing over the gasoline truck.
He took in several deep breathes, doing his best to calm himself down. Leonardo, or the Leonardo which he knew was usually the cool and collected one but he was beginning to wonder if even he would’ve remained calm with a giant inter-dimensional worm trying to eat him. He took several steps back and then turned to run as fast as he could. Raphael turned, watching as the worm now was halfway over the gasoline tanker. It was now or never.
Then something had struck the gasoline tanker, and it was followed by a couple exploding noises. But the explosions ruptured the tanker, causing the gasoline to ignite and erupt into a violent ball of flame. The force of the explosion was enough to cause several nearby vehicles to catch fire and explode as well, making causing a chain of reactions.
The worm unleashed a pained roar which was immediately cut off, and it’s immense girth dropped forward but it’s form was violently torn from the explosion and the smell of it’s flesh caused a putrid smell to rise from the burning and destroyed form.
Raphael turned and watched as the large creature was now destroyed and rendered nothing but a mass of burning flesh. A grin appeared on his face as his plan had managed to succeed. While it wasn’t as.. refined as Leonardo’s.. any version of Leonardo’s.. it got the job done. But there was a lot of property damage done, as some establishments caught fire and had their front property destroyed from the resulting explosion.
Raphael threw his arms up and he leapt up in celebration. A pre-mature celebration since the Kraang hadn’t been defeated but a major enemy had been conquered thanks to his and the other Turtle’s efforts.
"WHOOOOOOOOO!! YEAH! HOW’D YOU LIKE THAT BARBEQUE, MOTHERFUCKER?! YEAH!" Raph shouted.
He lowered his arms down and looked to the other Turtles and April, and nodded in acknowledgement of their collaborative efforts. He moved over to them, and then stared to Donatello and his own counterpart. To give the two Turtles credit where credit was due, Prime Raphael moved a fist out and he playfully punched Donatello and Raphael in the shoulder.
"Yeah! Yeah! See that? That’s how you get shit done!"
Raphael turned and looked over to Michelangelo and Leonardo, and he stared to the blue masked Turtle and nodded to him. He briefly saw the leadership element which his own Leonardo had. Maybe there was more to these Turtles than what he had believed, but he wasn’t going to admit it. He was never going to admit.. After all, he was one of the ORIGINAL Turtles. He was one of the seeds of these Turtles origins.
Then he looked over to the yellow jump suited woman who called herself April O’Neil. And noticed the camera which she had.. Raphael couldn’t help but blink at this, and he shook his head from side to side.
"Alright.. We got the worm problem fixed.. Now we gotta figure out where these Kraang assholes are coming from! Any ideas, Ms. O’Neil?"
The walls of the underground facility were trembling from a shockwave of power from the explosive blast, causing anything that wasn't set off or already broken to be. Leonardo with April in his arms, kept a steady balance until he couldn't no more. Maneuvering so he would land on his shell with April on top of him
The impact was harsh.
Opening his eyes he could barely hear April's voice, he couldn't make out what she was trying to say as he slapped him. Slowly the world started coming back to him, her voice getting stronger and clearer.
"Leonardo! Speak to me, say something!"
He closed his eyes, trying to move, which wasn't easy given April being on top of him while crying out his name. He pushed her away with his hands, as he opened his eyes back up.
The whole city was in chaos, but it was in a better chaos than before. What the hell is that smell? Looking to his left answered his question imminently, a large chunk of flesh from the creature.
Raphael's plan did work... but it's created a big mess. He tried to block out the smell, but it was really hard to. The smell was anything like he had ever smelled before.
"Dude, you missed it! That monster went into a gazillion pieces!" Mikey already at his side now, trying to explain what happened like he wasn't here. Sure, he did black out for a bit, but that doesn't mean he couldn't connect the dots on what had happened.
Pieces of meat was still falling down from the sky, making it a gruesome sight to see and smell. He can't get over this smell.
lifting himself up off the ground with little help from his younger brother, he turned to see Raphael from the prime dimension hooting and hollering in victory.
Leonardo gave a wave at him before a piece of meat fell on him, before hearing laughter at what happen. Leonardo is known for being a calm and having an extreme ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted.
But he's still a teenager, and he's still learning.
Throwing the piece of worm meat off him he started fussing at his brother, trying to get him to see that it wasn't a funny matter.
speaking to the mun- has there been any time you have been flattered like something shocked you.
//There have been a few times that I have been honored. Being recognized from a few well known blogs that I follow.. It shocks me, but it also tells me that I must be doing this right. I have formed friendships with wonderful people in this fandom, or another.
have you ever kissed a girl?
"If I have, I wouldn't tell."
"I’m Leonardo."
"Do you prefer the beach or snowy mountains?"
"I do like being able to sunbathe at the beach, it’s nothing like the lamps at home that we use…. snow covered mountains are also a favorite of mine, I like the peacefulness up there, nothing like the city that I grew up in."
"Although both have good perks, I would have to lean more towards being up in the snow covered mountains."

Cherry clutched to him, her finger finding grooves on the thick surface of his shell and just holding on as she kept her face hidden against his strong neck. There was a scent to him that was different from just a normal person and she took comfort in it. She felt like dirt, knowing those lyrical words had to be important, but she was too scared to ask what they meant. She didn’t want to lose him. He was the only thing in her world that was good and bright and strong. She didn’t want to admit how dependent she was on him. It made her feel useless, but she needed him there, always, and she couldn’t be burden to him like she had been on the other ones she cared about.
She curled up to him, tangling her legs with his and just holding onto him, “You make me happy, Leo,” She murmured, finally feeling brave enough to untuck her head from his neck so she could look at him. “you’ve made me happier than I’ve been in a really long time…”
————————————————————————
She was lying. They both were lying and Raph knew it. He could see it in the way she scuttled away from him, the way Mikey stammered in his answers.
”Yeah, dogs, Spot and Rover, they c-chew, ya know. Gotta..gotta go back,” Michelangelo said, following April, putting himself between her and his brothers.
”April..” Her name stuck in his throat. Of course she needed to leave. He was surprised that she had stayed and looked at him this long. It probaby had become too much and god knows what he and his brothers had put her through before. Raph went quiet, hands curling up helpless at his sides.
"We’ll see you tomorrow..bye Raph…bye Donnie," Mikey said quickly as he put a hand on April’s shoulders and lead her out of the lair.
He rubbed her back as she whispered into his skin, knowing that she is opening herself up a little towards him. He didn't regret what he did, nor did he regret what he said. He was sure she didn't know what he had just confessed. He did love her, although his feelings for her was puzzling to him.
Maybe it was best that she didn't know, that he didn't speak in english. He wouldn't know how to react if he was turned down, and what little pride he did have inside him.. He knew it would hurt him.
"I could say the same for you..." He took a deep breath before closing his eyes to rest, his brothers outside are grown up enough to handle themselves.
--------------------------------
She gave a quick goodbye, before her eyes landed on Raphael with a sad look before turning away and walking out with Michelangelo. The pain not only in his eyes, how could she hurt him.
She covers her mouth as they both walked down the tunnel together side by side. She stifling her whimpers and cries, but it did no luck to how she looked. She loved them all, and the pain was great.
"I-I wish there was a way.." Her voice croaked as she tried her best to control her feelings. Michelangelo took all of her pains and sorrows, and she thanked him for it. She made him grow up too fast, and experience too much in what short time they both had.
She cried again, her heart breaking for not only her true family, but also the place she was about to go to. She needs to be brave, she needs to protect him... no, all of them. 'Leo please give me guidance, Raph give me the strength'
----------------------------------
"Well that was quick.." Donatello said after both Michelangelo and April were gone. Noting the hurried look in her face. April never hurried for anyone, even her job. Something wasn't adding up, along with many of the issues that he could see in his family.
What if I don’t want to find my way back? What have I been fighting for all these years? The stakes are too high to just pass it off as simply being my destiny. People die… I need to know the meaning of it all. I need a reason to walk out of these woods… And right now I don’t have one. The darkness is so overwhelming.
Leonardo (Tales of Leonardo - Blind Sight #2)
Somehow I'll Make a Ninja Out Of You
Kaos honestly didn’t even notice the nun chuck-inclined ninja less than steller manners. Hers weren’t that great either, truth be told. Not on purpose, but Kaos could definitely identify with finding food messes mysteriously ending up where they wasn’t supposed to be. She only noticed when Michelangelo tried to speak, causing Leonardo to speak for him when that was what Mikey had been trying to do.
The chaosling nodded, chewing thoughtfully on her gummyworm as the two brothers explained Leos apprehension. Sure she could tell them she wasn’t human, but that wasn’t the point. “It’s cool, I understand!” Kaos replied after gulping down the gummy. Mm, yeah, definitely an interesting taste. Maybe she came on too strong. Kaos hadn’t meant to make Leonardo nervous. Maybe if Kaos had any kind of foresight she would have taken a more quiet approach. Ah well, too late for that now.
She grinned, relieved that at least Leonardo was willing to overlook her less-than-stellar social skills to offer her pizza and assure her he’d have time for her. “I’m alright, thanks. I just like gummies. You go ahead,” Kaos assured Leo, though mostly the assurance was for Michelangelo. “I dun wanna encroach on your time or pizza.” So he was sure he’d have time, then… “Does that mean you’ll do it? You’ll be my teacher?!” Kaos asked, excitement ramping back up to 10.
"I'm happy you're so eager to learn." The same couldn't be said for his younger brother, it was really hard getting him up in the mornings for practice let alone getting him to eat a little bit healthier.
Although her excitement was positive and good for the road ahead, he hope she was up for the ride, not many could deal with him. "When would you like to start?" He asked before taking another slice of pizza, not shockingly it was the last one since his brother did a big dent in the pie.
"Bro, I was going to get that!" Mikey was around done chewing as he spoke, his hands reaching out to grab the slice out of Leo's hand. Which he quickly dodged them. "Haven't you had enough?"
"No, I'm a growing turtle! I need it!" Mikey was wiggling in his seat as he kept on reaching for it. Leonardo gave a sigh before handing over the slice to his brother.
[Firmly places a fist onto Leo's shoulder] Hey! ....You're alright, for a pudgy wannabe! Just lay off the pizza! - MirageRaph
