Nothing is happening and I’m not allowed to go down to the lair by myself.”

She’s... just going to play games on her phone for the rest of the day, tucked up in one of Casey’s old hoodies.

“Leave my family alone. My big brothers are not idiots! They take good care of me, and they kept me safe!

Maybe I’m just a little kid, but I know what bullies look like. And you’re just another bully!”

"Don’t ask me why Casey’s like that. I’ve been around him for eleven whole years and I still think he’s super weird.”

@dragxnleader​ replied to your post: “I’m just a Jones, not a Casey, so I don’t count.”:

"I don't think i've met you in my world but i already know id live for you."

“Ohhhh I wonder if there’s a me in your dimension! Donnie says there’s lots of different ones.

Bet that’s why your Casey’s tough to deal with. I’m not there to keep him in line!”

“MIKEY.

Is that a WEED.”

Also, a fun fact about Shadow’s creation: when deciding on a name for her, I wanted to revive a character from canon lore who hasn’t really seen much love in the community at large for a long time. I could’ve used Angel, but she still gets used now and then.

Enter two characters: Casey’s late wife Gabrielle and step-daughter Shadow from the Mirage comics. Since I was using the IDW framework for Casey’s home life (deceased mother, verbally/physically abusive father), I used both.

Gabrielle is Shadow’s real name, and for much of her very early life, she usually went by Gabby. After Mr. Jones began to retreat further and further into the bottom of a bottle, she started hating being associated with her birth name. When she does explain why, it’s usually to say that it’s because she got tired of hearing it shouted.

As a result, she decided she wanted to be nicknamed after one of her favorite superhero characters, and only really lets people call her Shadow. Being called Gabby is upsetting, and being called Gabrielle can bring her to tears.

2012: *repeatedly mentions Casey having a little sister, indicates he’s at least decently protective over her, brings her up at random* 2012: *never does anything with this information and handwaves it with a wishy washy explanation via one of the writers making a random tweet* me: ...................*picking up the Little Sister* me: Mine now.

Yeah, Shadow probably needed the run out to get away from everything. Raph gets that. He does that all the time. But its been days, and he knows that the twins probably weren't the easiest people to be around, let alone everyone else. So he waits until Shadow and Leah get back and gives her a bit of time to settle down. Part of him wishes he had some way to hide all the bruising on his face, but make up isn't exactly useful for them. Or y'know. Safe to use.

Eh. He'll deal. For right now, he's still able to move, and that means he's doing anything but resting. Which includes coming up behind Shadow and scooping her into his arms, before flopping himself onto the couch on his shell with her against his chest.

"So, kiddo, y'miss me?"

Shadow hadn’t been paying much attention to what was going on around her. She was full of burger and milkshake, and honestly kind of drowsy for hte first time in several days. But she’d returned to her curled up spot on the couch... and at first, her only reaction to being scooped up was to let out a startled squeak and flail a bit before realizing who had her, pouting a bit as she went full ragdoll on him.

“Raph you jerk, sneaking up on me like that.” Not that she sounds really angry or anything. Her fists are clenched, and her voice shakes... just slightly. She’d been way more scared than she was ready to admit. A few years ago, she probably would’ve broken down in tears, but it was clear now she was trying her hardest to keep it together. “You took forever to get home, you know.”
