Having to maintain a secret identity was exhausting. Not including that her secret identity was a literal male ninja. Drinking a sip of ginger tea she stared at the mirror. Wrapping up her torso to hide that she was female was kind of crazy but now the Kraang are after Y/n.
When they drew blood from her, they seemed to take off her mask. Yet she still went with her male persona because not all homeless needed to know that a 14 year old girl was saving them. It made no sense, but it made sense to Y/n. The less they know her the better.
Her stomach had a big scar due to Shredder piercing through with his claws when they met. Tracing with her fingers made her shiver, Shredder is a natural killer. Y/n was waiting for Donnie to finish experimenting with her ninja attire. The kunoichi gave in some of her concerns.
Fire had been burning her mother's birthday gift. Donatello said he could fabricate a liquid that could make her suit fireproof and heat resistant. Analyzing her DNA molecules and her fire. It wasn't a surprise how Donnie was a smart teen. She tried to help him but her mind was elsewhere.
After what happened with Timothy she had been a bit anxious. Mr. Bruce was recovering slowly due to his old age. Master Splinter had been busy training April. Getting meditation from him was out of the question for now.
Raphael...that was her go to safe space. She didn't even have to tell him all of her emotions. He could read her like a book sometimes. Which frightened her when she wanted to keep secrets. Sighing she began to braid her long (h/c) and red streaked hair.
Her mom used to cut her hair, do basically anything to help her. After she was kidnapped Y/n didn't bother it. Rescuing her mother is what matters. Putting on a pair of black leggings and a scarlet colored tank top she decided that today was her day off.
The young teen girl didn't bandage her torso. Neither worried about getting her mother's katana. Being Crimson was getting a bit exhausting and every one knew that. Leaving her room like Y/n was something that she rarely did.
Everyone was in the living room bored out of their mind. When suddenly April dropped her glass of water in awe. Everyone turned around and their jaws finally dropped to the ground. Was that really Crimson?
"Uh, guys?" Y/n inputs with her eyebrows raised.
"Woah, Crimson... I mean Y/n you look different" Leonardo states as everyone agreed. Mikey whistles earning a whack on the head by Raphael.
"Come on guys this is how I normally looked" she said shrugging it off.
"Nice to meet you!" Mikey dashes playfully shaking her hand.
"Mikey leave her alone." Raphael seemed a bit serious but internally he was dying.
He was already having trouble talking to her normally when she was in her alter persona. Now seeing her completely as Y/n was making him internally explode. She often came without her crimson uniform. But this...was different.
"Girl, why have you been hiding all of that!?" April hugs her tightly a bit proud.
Y/n was confused...have they lost their minds? It's true she has never been seen as her true self but weren't they exaggerating a bit? Accepting April's hug she looked for someone special. Raphael seemed unfazed, is that a good sign or a bad sign? Gosh, her brain was going to explode.
"What do you think Raphael? Isn't she gorgeous, I mean April fits my tastes better but you get what I mean right?" Donnie whispers to him once they are out of the girl's reach. It gave them a sense of deja vu when they discovered she was a girl.
"Ya know too well that I don't like being bombarded with questions" he grumbled crossing his arms.
"Ow, come on we saw the way you dropped your jaw down the floor" Donatello said making a vein mark appear on his tempered brother.
"Everyone did that!" He defends himself. "She's pretty ok, everyone sees that!" He whisper-yells.
"Chill dude I just wanted to ask" Donnie said trying to calm him down. "I am surprised she doesn't have anyone courting her at her school. I mean look at her" he points out.
"She's clearly out of any bozos league." Raphael said staring at the way her eyelashes fluttered when she blinked.
"And out of his..." he thought shaking his head from those thoughts.
"Raph, wanna go on a motorcycle ride?" His thoughts are interrupted yet again. Her soft hand touched his shoulder making him flinch. The guys went on to do their own thing trying not to make her uncomfortable.
"Ya going out like that Crimson?"
"Donnie is fixing my suit remember?" Y/n sighs a bit skeptical. Raphael seemed out of it. "Is something wrong?"
"Everything is peachy dummy" Raph crosses his arms trying to play it cool as always.
"Are you sure you look like you saw a roach. Your eyes are twitching, like this." She demonstrates comically while grabbing his shoulders which triggers him more.
"Shut up, and get going I don't have all night!" He grabs his helmet with his usual tuff guy persona.
"Geez, I was just asking you know I don't like roaches." She follows him to the exit getting her mothers keys out of her red leather jacket that hung on the coat racket near the entrance.
Her old apartment was abandoned, a rent sign visible on the window. Y/n was feeling horrible lately and Raphael noticed. Visiting what used to be her home made her feel a sense of impending doom. Green emerald eyes scanned her figure as she went inside to look for something.
"What exactly are we looking for?" he whispered crossing his arms as he leaned next to the window.
"My mom's hair brush" she said. At first it seemed a bit far fetched but she wanted to have her mother's DNA scanned by Donatello.
"Why didn't you get it when we left?"
"I thought it was where it usually was but it isn't on her jade pendant box" she scans her old bathroom a slight crack in a wall could be seen. "Seriously mom what were you hiding from me?" Talking to herself had become a habit when her mother was abducted.
Lifting up the crack a bit she found pieces of paper crumpled into a ball. Raphael stared at the girl's jaw tensed for a while. Her mom...she had property in China. Y/n didn't know that, she assumed they were just nomads at that point.
"What's wrong dummy?" Raphael left his spot as the girl seemed dazed again.
"My mom...she has property in China. I just didn't know that...but it's strange. Why did she leave...if grandma left it to her" she sighs putting the paper in her pocket.
"I guess you guys had to run away? Ya think it has to do with the fact you spit fire?" He crossed his arms as she looked for more scattered items.
"At this point all my life is a mystery" she grumbled breaking the crack a bit. "Well at least the landlord kept the safety deposit" she adds as Raphael snickers a bit.
"Isn't ryuuzaki a Japanese word?" He inputs curiosity written on his tone.
"Yeah, my mom said my grandma fell in love with my grandpa that was Japanese. But in those times that was considered bad because of the wars between China and Japan." Her eyes scanned for more lost things only finding a bit of loose change. "Basically Asian Romeo and Juliet." She quips grasping the change. "Let's buy some pizza"
She was good at evading her thoughts now. Yet Raphael knows that she is at her point at breaking. Her eyes are red again. And her movements are starting to falter, but the stubbornness within is battling the sadness that lingers beneath her.
When he found out she was hiding that amount of pain. The short tempered turtle wanted to beat everything making her unhappy. This time she didn't need to lean onto him first...because Raphael was already wrapped around her. It felt different as if he was hugging Y/n not Crimson. Her chest was pressed on his plastron, and it felt surreal. Not on a perverted way but on an eye opening dilemma. The bandages around her torso made her heart beat be muffled.
They weren't there now, the soft drum of her heart clashed with his own beats. Them being just friends made it normal for them to hug. Yet, why did their embrace feel out of this world?
"Another day, another Kraang hunt." Mikey said bored out of his mind. He sneaks behind his older brother. "Hey, Raph! Fire the weapons!"
Raphael opens his eyes wide open. "I don't think so."
Y/n sat near him her crimson suit as vibrant as ever. But with added modifications. It was now heat resistant and fireproof. Her mask wasn't cloth anymore but a strange material that Donnie built for her fire breathing to not intervene with hiding her not so secret identity.
"See, that's your problem. If I was in charge of weapons, I'd be firing at things all the time. That mailbox, blam. That newsstand, boom. That port-a-potty, splat." Michelangelo continued making the teen girl roll her eyes at those statements.
"And that's why you're not in charge of the weapons. Now get back to your station and tell me which way to go." The leader remarked.
"Hmm. Okay. Uh, you should turn right three blocks ago."
"That's it Mikey when we get to the lair you won't be having anymore of my mochi" Y/n states groaning and he yells shocked.
After arriving at an alley way, they get out of the shellraiser.
"This must be the hidden Kraang lab." Donatello states.
"Let's trash the place!" Raphael quips as Y/n adds playfully.
"I call dibs on the most flammable stuff" she said and everyone except her best friend shiver looking at her with bulging eyes. "I was just kidding!" She defends herself as she snickered.
"Hold on, Raph and Y/n. This is a recon mission. We go in there, find out what the Kraang are up to, and then trash the place." He crossed his arms looking at the young girl like a mother would look at a naughty child. "Also I said trash not burn it down to smithereens"
"Fine. Wake me when we get to the trashing part." Raphael pats her arm. "You'll get to blow something up eventually"
They go inside only to find that the place was already dismantled. Y/n felt a sense of dread as her eyes scanned the dull gray walls. Her fire wasn't needed on this occasion but something felt off.
"Oh, man. Someone beat us to it."
Dismembered krang droids were littered across the pavement like ground and pictures of wasps were in the walls.
"It looks like one of their mutagen experiments got away from them." He provided his own theory.
"Seems they were doing experiments on arthropods. Weird." Donnie picked up a diagram from the ground.
"Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-ha!" The youngest turtle spun around on a chair. Donatello finds a centrifuge.
"Hey, this equipment's still good. Whoo-hoo-hoo. Nice centrifuge." His eyes lit up.
"If I ever get that excited about a centrifuge, just let Crimson burn my ass off" he tells Leonardo making him glare at him.
"Language" he said sternly as Y/n's cheeks inflate trying not to laugh.
Mikey looks at a robot head before he senses something, rustling in the ceiling.
"Hmm? Hey, Donnie, how big do you think one of those arthropods might be?"
"Well, a bee is about four millimeters, and a wasp would be six."
"Then what the heck is that?" he pointed as his heart pounded wildly
"We really can't catch a break, huh?" Getting her katana ready she tries to slice it up but it's speed was quick.
The giant wasp was agile which wasn't surprising to the girl at all but it was really being torn in the side to the skilled fighter. Raphael had managed to be pinned down by the ferocious creature and was trying to bite him with its sharp mandibles.
"Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!" He yelled trying to evade them.
Y/n whacks it away and starts to fend it off. Raph tried to stab it but it body slammed him and tried to sting Y/n with its stinger. They both run in the same direction but the wasp attempts to sting either of them. The wasp uses its stinger like a sword trying to defend itself from the crimson bandit. She jumped but the wasp flew as she got slammed against the ceiling.
Leonardo used both his swords to smack it into the wall, giving time for the rest of the team to hide behind an array of cabinets. "We need a plan, and fast."
"I know. I'll catch him with my kusarigama chain." The orange bandana terrapin suggests a bright tone in his voice.
"That wasp is too strong. How about this? Mikey, you get it to chase you and Crimson finally gets to burn something into ashes."
"Why don't we ever do my plans?"
"Because they're your plans. Now go!"
"That was a bit too much" she mumbled feeling bad for Mikey. Trying to use her fire breathing ability.
Mikey groaned and stepped onto the table, shaking his butt at it.
"Hey, wasp! Come and get it! Whoa!"
The wasp, on the ceiling, started to chase Mikey in circles.
"He's really turned running away screaming into an art form." He noticed how Y/n's hair glowed scarlett under the mask. "You ready?" She nods holding her breath.
"Well, at least he's good at something, right?" Donnie points out as the girl rolls her eyes.
"Not everyone is perfect" she thought trying to bear the pain omitting from her chest as she held on tight to the fire within.
Mikey trips and regrets trying to defend him.
"Good-ish." He corrected himself.
The wasp tried to sting him but Mikey dodged making the stinger pierce the ground.
"On my mark." The turtles stay near some machines to move Mikey out of the cross fire.
"Fire!" Y/n listens as she let's sunset colored embers come out of her now aching body. To her surprise Mikey decides to go with his plan and throws the kusarigama chain at the bug making it move out of the way. The fire nearly landed near the remaining turtles as they fell onto each other.
"Ha. How you like me now?" He said victoriously but the wasp took flight and began to drag him around due to the fact that the end of the chain was wrapped around the youngest turtle's wrist. Michelangelo crashed into his brothers and friend.
"A lot less than I did a few seconds ago." Raph said as he quickly pushed Y/n's body out of the way. Leonardo had managed to break the chain, sending Mikey flying. Raphael shielded his friend with his body, they stared at each other's eyes mesmerized. The leader smiled happily that his team was ok, the bug took its chance and stung him on the arm. The guys quickly got up as Y/n felt guilty.
It slowly fell to the ground dead because it lost its stinger.
"See? My plan worked. I tried it out!" He raised his hands proclaiming his victory once again.
"That abomination is dead! It lost its stinger" Y/n takes her mask off breathing the not so fresh air.
Leo shows up with a stinger on his left arm.
"Yeah, in me." He clutches his arm upset. "Thanks a lot, Mikey."
"Heh, sorry, dude." He apologized. Raph covers his mouth with his hands trying not to barf. The area was almost purple in color, Y/n was concerned about it as she got something from her pockets. She was always ready for injuries now due to their reckless behavior.
"Let me see that." Donatello pulls the stinger out making him exclaim loudly.
The girl gets near them as she gets out a strange flask with a strange powder. "Don't move dude" she gently spreads it as Leonardo felt a sting.
"Yikes, what the shell is that?" Leonardo asks bewildered.
"Ancient Chinese medicine. You don't want your arm chopped off do you?" She asks with a serious tone.
"Are you okay? Thanks Y/n" she nods bandaging his brother's arm.
"Pretty sore, but I think I'll be..." His eyes begin to twitch before he can finish the word."fine..."
"Mutations are generally anthropomorphic. I've never seen mutagen create giants like this before."
"Yeah, real fascinating, Donnie." Raphael said bored out of his mind. Y/n sighed taking her hood off trying to cool off.
"Whoa. Look!" The blue bandana terrapin moves newspapers out of the way revealing a lime colored egg.
"Stand back. I'll handle this." Mikey said raising his nunchucks and spinning them.
"I'm betting on the egg." Raphael quips as Y/n leans onto him like she normally does. "Ya good Crimson?"
"Yeah, but...I could've killed you guys" she mumbled as she saw Leonardo stop the goofy turtle.
"Wait! We're not hurting it." He grasps the lathers hand firmly. "We came here to find out what the Kraang are up to, and this egg is our only clue. We should take it back to the lab and let Donnie analyze it."
"Great idea. Let's take the mutant wasp egg into our home where we live. What's the worst that could happen?" Raphael questions sarcastically.
Leonardo seemed a bit different leaning into the egg. "It's not safe leaving this around. It'll be fine, I'll just keep an eye on it."
"Hey, we've seen what that egg has turned into. We don't need more of those creatures hatching." The girl's eyes shimmer in the light in a strange manner. "I'll get it" she was about to take the egg out of his reach but he snaps.
"Hands off!" He yelled at the girl making her flinch.
Her friend seemed confused at his brother's sudden behavior. "Dude, are you all right? ‘Cause unmotivated bursts of anger are kind of my thing. Also, she was just trying to help"
"Sorry Y/n, It's just that the egg could be fragile." He picks it up as if he were carrying a baby. "You cannot be trusted with it, especially when your fire breath is dangerous. I'll carry it myself."
"Hey, it was kinda Mikey's fault" she defended herself noticing the hostility in the atmosphere. "What's got your panties in a knot?" she grits her teeth a bit her hair glowing, a hand lands on her shoulder blade as Raphael pressed firmly. Shaking his head in disapproval she tries to calm down.
Y/n uses her motorcycle to get some fresh air quickly avoiding everyone's gaze she drives out the alleyway making her friend's worry. After getting out the shell raiser near the entrance Raphael speaks to his brother.
"I really have a bad feeling about keeping that thing in the lair. And what the shell was that back there?!" Raphael states trying to shake some sense into his older brother. "Crimson followed your orders to fire! It was this nincompoops fault" he points at Mikey who put his hand behind his neck agreeing.
"I already apologized Raphael, think of all we could learn from it."
"You call that half assed apology your dismissal?! You know what's inside wasp eggs, right? Here's a hint: Wasps!"
"That's not a hint, dude. You gave it away." Mikey said patting his older brother's back. "But you should apologize to the dudette, she's our best friend" he said pouting.
Y/n was driving remembering how the scene unfolded. Her eyes watered as she sped her motorcycle. It was not easy to control the fire within, it was like a spidey sense going haywire. That wasp...and that egg made her self-conscious gnaw at her. She needed to get rid of that egg before something bad happened.
With the guys Donatello tried dissecting the egg but Leonardo wouldn't budge and protect it.
"Well, I think I will do something in the other room. Raph, Mikey, care to join me?"
"Not unless you get more specific." Mikey answers.
"Come on!" Donatello pulls him away using his mask tails.
After leaving they dial Y/n as she was still driving back to the lair.
"Y/n, you hear us clear?" Donatello hears a grunt as a response as she puts on her earphones. "I'll take it as a yes. Okay, Leo's acting totally weird, right?"
"Yeah. It's like he's obsessed with that egg." Raphael said as he heard munching on the line. "Dummy, are you seriously eating while driving?" He crossed his arms worried.
"Hey, you're eating the last of the mochi!" Michelangelo sighed. "Let's ask Splinter what to do."
"No dice, guys and gal. Looks like he took April out for a training exercise."
"Okay, look, we gotta destroy that egg before it hatches." Raphael said hearing the girl park her motorcycle near the shell raiser.
After talking it out with the guys Y/n decided to help them. Yawning she got out of her room scratching her abdomen her very visible scar didn't go unnoticed by her friend. Staring at the grooves of her stomach made him feel like a pervert. But she was almost built like a tank. Shaking his head he focused on the task.
"Who wants pizza? Leo's favorite! Jellybean, anchovy, and jalapeño!" He gets a slice out making Y/n smell it as she walks his hand away a bit. "Woah, easy dudette"
"Isn't that your favorite?" She quips grabbing her bag of beef jerky.
"Just go with it." He states.
Donnie opens the door to the lab.
"Leo." He waves the pizza trying to emit the smell more. That clearly didn't work so they gobbled the pizza as Y/n just took off a jelly bean to eat it. She had quite a sweet tooth.
"Oh, boy. That not-at-all-stupid Space Heroes show is on!" Raphael sat raising the volume, Y/n was eating popcorn with Michaelangelo as they tossed some popcorn at each other.
"Gentlemen, I've finally found the woman I am going to marry. Say hello to the future Mrs. Captain Ryan." Captain Ryan announces to his crew. It was actually a disguised alien with a hideous face.
"Dr. Mindstrong, Captain Ryan has fallen under the control of a deadly hypnoticon!"
"How about some sugar, baby?"
"Oh, you're missing a great one, Leo." Donatello said as Y/n groaned in disgust as the alien slobbered the captain with it's big slimy tongue.
"Seriously guys why does Leo like this show again?" She said shivering as she finally hit Raphael with popcorn. "Mikey you owe me 5 dollars."
"Oh, dangit!" He cursed as Raphael tries to kick his friend's butt.
"Hey, Mikey, where are you going with Leo's signed Space Heroes issue one that he keeps wrapped in plastic?" Raphael yelled dramatically as Mikey held onto a comic.
"Well, we're out of toilet paper, and I thought the pages from this rare and valuable comic book would do the job nicely." He rubbed it onto the end of his shell as Y/n snickers. "Oh, yeah, that feels great. Hope Leo doesn't see me."
Once more he didn't notice as he was still guarding the egg.
"Y/n, painted the word jerk on your bedroom wall!" Raphael said as he yells seeing the girl grabbing a paint brush. "Are you really planning on doing that" he whispered.
"Nooo" she said laughing her ass off as she drew Leonardo with a very ugly comical face.
"Remember me not to get on her bad side" Mikey said to Donatello as he nodded flabbergasted. Yet again Leonardo didn't budge from his place near the egg.
"Wow, he's further gone than I thought." Donatello inputs as Y/n sighed a bit defeated.
"All right, that tears it. I'm destroying the egg tonight. Myself!" Raphael yelled having had enough of the situation. Y/n quickly locks in, grabbing his shoulders.
"Are you out of your mind Raph! You can't do this by yourself!" Her hair starts to glow and could be finally seen without the hood. It was breath taking for the turtles but she kind of hated when it happened because it meant she was going "unstable" again.
"Listen Crimson, I need ya to take care of my brothers if something happens. They might be older than you but right now you are the strongest." Raphael said noticing how it made her world crumble just by thinking about the idea of something happening to him.
She couldn't sleep all night, coming out of her room. Y/n wore her Crimson Soldier suit feeling uncomfortable with the way Raphael didn't come back to sleep into his room.
"Where the shell are you Raph?" She grumbled as she was hushed by Donatello in the entrance. The red and blue bandana wearing turtles now stood there together.
"Oh, boy." Donatello said and Y/n prepared her mother's katana.
They slowly took out their weapons as the two remaining turtles began to feel scared.
"Uh, Raph? Heh, uh, what you up to there, bro?" Donatello asked nervously.
Mikey felt shivers run through his shell. "Something's definitely wrong. He's gone all Leo-who's-not-Leo on us." He points out softly.
"I knew I should've come with him" Y/n mumbles her hands shaking.
Donnie sees the bite on Raph's arm "Look at his arm."
The two turtles turn around. Now Raphael's eyes are black just like Leonardo's.
"He got bit. Leo must've bit him."
"What in the walking dead..." She said backing away remembering that Raphael trusted her his brother's. Gritting her teeth she puts them in the back of her much to Donatello's dismay. Being protected by a girl and younger than him wasn't on his wish list.
"Bros, snap out of it, dudes." Mikey said gulping afraid.
They roar, lunging at them. Y/n, Donnie, and Mikey flee outside.
"Get the doors, get the doors!" Donatello screamed his lungs out. They quickly slam the doors shut, hoping that the infected turtles won't break out. Mikey ties his chain around the doors.
"Whew. That ought to hold 'em." He gasps suddenly. "Guys, the garage door!"
"On it!" Both of them yell in unison.
They head outside and see the turtles struggling to get in. They both jump and struggle to pull it down.
"Oh, no! Not now! Come on!"
Leo and Raph take notice and snarl, green saliva leaks from their mouths. They struggled with all their might and managed to close the door.
"Come on...what's wrong with me.." she breathes heavily leaning onto the door. Mikey lays his head on her shoulder gasping for air.
"This is all my fault, if I hadn't used my kusarigama you'd be able to kill that stupid wasp" he feels a soft hand on top of his head.
"Don't worry freckles, you just want to prove yourself." She smiled vaguely staring at the nothingness as the other turtles pounded on the door.
"Here it is. The parasitic wasp infects animals with a virus that brainwashes them into protecting its eggs." He typed on a computer in the kitchen showing them the image.
"You think that's the kind of wasp that stung Leo?" Mikey said as Y/n drank a jug of water.
Loud roars and bangs can be heard.
"I'm going to have nightmares after this mission ends" she inputs wrapping her knuckles in bandages trying to get ready for the fight.
"A mutant version. Then Leo bit Raph and passed the virus to him."
"So once the egg hatches, will the guys go back to normal?" Mikey questions.
"Not quite. Look what happens to the caterpillar guarding the egg." He scrolls the images until it is revealed. Gasping the girl bites her lower lip nervously.
"It's eating him! It's eating him! AAHH! What are we gonna do?!" He yelled frantically as Y/n slams her hand in the table.
"We can't let that piece of shit hatch! Donnie you got any ideas?"
"Well, I might be able to create some kind of antibody, but first I need a sample of the virus from the egg."
Suddenly, the door bangs open and the two infected turtles are free.
They start to run away as Michaelangelo throws anything at them. Which created an opening for the teens trying to escape.
"No, no! Stay away! Stay away! Run away! AHH!!"
Leo lunged at Michaelangelo as Raphael chased after Donatello. Y/n tried to help Donatello from Raphael by distracting him with a dragon shaped kunai.
"Hey, Raphie boy! I am burning that egg into a crisp if you don't stop messing with Donatello!" Opening her mouth a slight ember omitted from her mask alarming the infected turtles.
Clashing of metal could be heard in the lair. Leaping into the air Y/n tried to disarm infected Raphael. Her eyes slightly watered as she couldn't bear seeing Raphael grimace in pain.
He took the opportunity to throw his weapons at her making her turn around as they got crusted into the wall. Using his sais he walked into the wall. A move the young girl once showed him. It astonished her to the core making him have a blind opening to her. Y/n got tackled to the ground, cursing at herself. She tried taking Raphael off her but it was futile because he was snapping his mandible near her neck.
"Raphael snap out of it!" She yelled trying to control her temper. A strange feeling on her chest ignited as her vision went blurry. Blinking frantically to try and fix it she tried to push him away as drool leaked onto her skin. "Donatello! Mikey a little help here?!"
Donatello was trying to help the youngest from his older brother. Seeing them being punched and thrown away like rag dolls made her rage spike.
She didn't know what was happening anymore. As she threw her katana at Donatello to give him an advantage point. Feeling her arms give in, a sharp feeling in her neck made her cry out in pain. Staring at his once emerald colored eyes, she grabbed her neck in disbelief.
"Y/n!" Donatello pushed her katana onto Leonardo's making it fly away as he ran away.
An animalistic snarl could be heard from the girl. Scaring the infected on top of her. It sounded like a fierce animal preparing to tear everything apart. Her iris distorted into feline-like features. Pushing him away and sending him flying far from her now burning body.
Mikey managed to tie Leonardo with chains and Donatello tied Y/n too for her own precaution. They started sealing the entrance of the lab with wooden boards.
The crimson bandit sat there on the floor groggily her chest rising slowly.
"Dudette you still with us?" Mikey asked noticing her shallow breaths.
"Yes freckles" she mumbles sitting still trying to fight off the infection.
"Donatello? Michelangelo, Y/n? . What happened?" Leonardo spoke without that chilly creepy voice.
"Leo. You went crazy, dude. So did Raph, he even bit Crimson. He ran off with the egg." He started to believe the story that he was cured.
"Oh. Don't worry. I'm better now. You can untie me, Mikey." Leo's eyes turned to his normal color and his mouth didn't ooze that slimy saliva. "Untie me so we can go find Raph together."
Mikey was about to reach for Leo but Donnie stops him, realizing that Leo is tricking him.
"No! Don't do it, Mikey. Look at his eyes."
Leo lunged and tried to bite Mikey. Then he spoke in an eerily demonic voice that made Y/n shudder.
"It is useless to resist. It is only a matter of time before the egg bursts and the hatchling will feed on us all!"
Donnie slaps him and starts to inject Leo’s blood with a needle.
"Sorry to burst your possessed bubble, Leo. We may not have the egg, but a sample of your blood should help me create a cure."
"Geez, I am glad I didn't get slapped" Y/n inputs closing her eyes as she felt a sharp pain in her head. "Dear Kamisama, I don't even know how I am still myself right now"
"Bite! Donatello's been bitten! Y/n's been bitten! What the heck am I supposed to do now!"
"Huh? He looks at his lower neck, a bite was now present there. "I must've been bitten during the fight like Y/n . Now I'm infected, too." He puts a hand on Y/n's forehead with curiosity written in his expression. "Y/n you should've turned a long time ago. But right now you are sweating bullets"
Donatello decided to let Y/n free due to her not changing. Taking her hood off and pointing a fan at her. He started mixing viles nervously to create an antidote.
"I'm not gonna make it. I'm not gonna make it!"
"Don't stress, dude, you're almost done." Mikey assured him as Y/n wailed in pain. "Dudette are you turning now?" He grabbed his nun chucks.
"It hurts...it hurts so much. My body feels like it's on fire" she gasps for air.
"Mikey, you gotta help me. If I turn, you're gonna have to knock me out so you can finish the antibody yourself. Y/n is out of it, but I think her fire is trying to detox her from the poison"
"Just promise me! It's up to you."
"Okay, okay, so what do I do? I'm not exactly the most science-y type of guy, in case you didn't know."
"I'll try and help him Donnie boy" Y/n finally spoke getting helped up by her friend.
"Thank god." He started to explain. "First, the hybridoma culture has to incubate for ten minutes. And then it has to spin in the centrifuge for another five. AAH! There's not enough time. I'm not.... I'm not feeling so well." Donatello moans in agony finally turning into an infected.
Y/n growls in a different kind of way, almost like a beast. Trying to warn Donatello to back off, protecting Mikey in the process. Donatello manages to whack her head with his bow staff. Mikey tries to attack but Donnie bit him on the arm. Mikey knocks him out..
"Oh no! We're doomed! How am I gonna do this? We gotta remember what Donnie said." Y/n's eyes turn into slits instead of completely black. "Y/n don't turn I need you... He grabs his head "Uh, Feel kinda....!"
"What about Michelangelo and Y/n?" Possessed Raphael spoke with a neutral voice.
"He is no longer a threat to the egg. And Y/n is weak right now, our majestic egg will deal with her" possessed Donatello affirmed.
Raph puts the egg to the ground as the others gather. Mikey comes in carrying Y/n's body like a sack of potatoes.
"Michelangelo, you have come to join us. I see you brought more lunch" he scanned Y/n's body it seemed limp enough.
"Yes, I finally understand what is so awesome about this egg. Let it feast on the foul beast" he pretends to be controlled. The egg starts to hatch as Y/n opens her now normal (e/c) eyes.
"It is glorious." Possessed Leonardo said.
They closed their eyes, ready for it to hatch. But Mikey was just pretending and he cured them with the shot right into their necks. Putting Y/n down the ground as she smiled victoriously.
"What have you done?!" Raphael yelled.
"Pulled your bacon out the frying' pan, bro!" He quips getting a high five from crimson.
"Donatello, you said Michelangelo was safe. You said you turned him. And Y/n was weak!"
"I did. I whacked her with the bow staff"
"Did you, Donnie? Did you really turn me? You did, but after you bit me, I was totally wiggin'. I almost passed out, like, 19 times, bro. But Y/n was there to knock some sense into me. We both took turns in finishing the antidote!"
"You helped finish the antibody? Donatello said astonished.
"And you were just pretending to be one of us?" Leonardo questions as Y/n pats Mikey's shoulder.
"But that's smart." Raphael finally turned back into himself looking apologetic at his best friend.
"Yeah, it is. Just call me "Dr. Einstein-einstein." Y/n glared at him a bit.
"You know you didn't have to call me a foul beast" she pouts a bit.
"Sorry, I just wanted to rhyme a bit" giggling nervously he hears his brother's groan.
"Oh, I forgot to mention it may cause drowsiness. " the three turtles faint and the egg finally hatched. Surprisingly 4 wasps hatched from the egg.
"What? Four wasps?" Trying to wake them up he looks at Y/n for help. "Guys! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! AAHH! Crimson fire the fireeee! He yells at her as she tries to conjure her fire again.
"On it freckles!" She takes off her mask finally getting to see ashes made from the wasps bodies. "Finally I get to burn something." She noticed the guys get covered in ash. "Oops, I guess I should've waited for them to wake up" she whistles nervously backing away noticing a vein mark appears on the now conscious turtles.
"What the shell Crimson!" Raphael yells trying to get her. "First the popcorn now this" the girl sticks her tongue out.
"You owe me. I could've gotten rabies, ya know. " she said laughing her ass off.
The turtles start to sweep the ash from the floor sneezing in the process.
"I can't believe Mikey actually came through."
"I can't believe Y/n made a big mess in the lair." Leonardo sighed moving his broom around.
"I told you, you should believe in me more often. Pizza me!"
"No, I'm not gonna "pizza you. " Donatello said rolling his eyes annoyed by his antics.
"I guess you're right. It's not like I did something incredibly brave -and saved your life."
"You did save our lives along with Y/n. But you also used my favorite comic book as toilet paper!" He yelled sneezing in the process.
"Yeah, but I only did it so you'd chase me." Mikey states.
"Wait, stop!" He gets chased by his brother.
"You think the parasite wasn't the one making me screech like that?" She asked Donatello as she once again got blood drawn.
"When I was half conscious I noticed that your eyes slit instead of turning completely black. I have a feeling that your DNA is altering itself again" Donatello said analyzing her blood.
"Great, what am I turning into a cat or something?" She said nervously.
"I think you're way off" he states noticing her body trembles a bit.
"Hey, Donnie boy...I'm scared" she said showing vulnerability.
"Everything is going to be alright..."
The rest of the turtles were leaning into the door eavesdropping a bit. They too recalled the roaring and glistening eyes. All of them were wondering what it meant.
