I know Mikey is your favorite but I was wondering how do u feel about Raph?

Raph is... complicated.

I love him, I do! But he's never the guy im drawn to. Hes such an aggressive guy! I love the juxtaposition between sweet guy and his angry proud self. But I can never truly understand how hes feeling as well as the others? Like, his struggles with leo, stuff like that i find harder to understand.

I usually am pretty good at understandbhow a character got to where they are emotionally. Leo being leader, he feels this heavy burden and responsibility. It shows in his actions, how he cares for his brothers. But raph abd his anger i feel I don't truly understand as much. Maybe because I haven't seen enough of any of the shows (im still working my way through them) to understand em. Or its just a lil too abstract?

I dunno, I hope that makes sense! Hes still a wonderful character abd i love hiiimm but hes the one I understand emotionally the least.

Aster takes the towel with a quiet thanks. Still he first changes his mask with a proper bandage around Donnie. He dries himself off than, holding his bloody mask tightly in his hand.

"My name is Aster."

He looks at her. So apparently he has a purple mask but isn't called Donnie or Purple...

Angel dries herself off before letting Lea down to explore and move a bit.

She nods, giving the turtle a small, tired but genuine smile.

"It's nice to meet you, Aster. I wish it could have been under better circumstances."

He flinches slightly before just letting Raph wrap him up. A quiet whine slips out. He doesn't deserve this. It may have been an accident, but he still killed his twin.

She then looks to the last unidentified turtle.

"And what's your name, hun?"

Voila! Raphael!!!

Tumblr killed the quality on this thing....

So I decided that since I'm making them new sheets that I would redo their designs a bit, since I was never really able to do that.

So thus, Raphie gets scars and some new equipment!!!!

(I mean, the eye scar was already there, but....)

I hope you like him!!!!

The LORD bless you!!!!

*A few workers open donnies cage the next day, leading him back to the room, except there is a new turtle, hiero, this time along with Raphael and bishop*

"Get to work, the other mutant should be here soon."

@npcs-for-you

He huffs, clicking and glaring at the workers as they bring him out of his cage.

The sight of Raph and also Hiero in the room with Bishop doesn't exactly ease his nerves at all. He clicks at the workers, not making any move to start working for a moment before growling and going over to Raph and Hiero. His tail sways. He chirps quietly, trying to check on the two.

[Donnie is still muzzled. Under his eyes are slightly red, like he's been crying. As soon as the workers and Donnie enter the room, Bishop gets up and growls, ramming against the cage a few times and trying to swipe through at Donnie]

*A dozen workers come running in, a few have chains, one has some muzzles and zombie flapjack is back with another mutant*

"Alright beast, nice in gentle."

@npcs-for-you

He growls, still hiding away in Raph's embrace. He makes no move to pull away.

{As you enter the Rise Lair, the lair is in shambles, things broken, shoved around, bullets and tranqs littered around. Seems like a fight broke out with lots of struggle. Something catches the corner of your eye- movement. Then there's a growl as a big, spikey turtle stalks out on fours- eyes completely white with no pupils. His tail swishes around and knocks into things, breaking even more things and causing more damage. Uh-oh..... This looks bad...}

- @red-angel-of-prevent1ng-harm

She enters the 'Rise Lair' cautiously, hesitantly calling out. The bullets and darts littered around the area aren't great signs, and neither are the partially cleaned up blood stains.

It's as she's crouched down investigating one of these partial blood stains that she hears it. Something moving.

She glances up, catching the movement in the corner of her eye. And woah, that is one big turtle. And he does not look friendly...

She gulps, slowly standing back up. Even on all fours, it's taller than she is. No wonder the doors are all so big.

"Uh, hey there. You wouldn't happen to know an April, would you?" She tries to be friendly and conversational, in case this turtle is just also very territorial.

[the-one-and-only-dontron]

*Leon whined, sinking away and looking to Donnie, if he can't help there, he can help donnie*

*Leon ruffled his bloody wings before quickly moving over to Donnie instead, stepping back when April glared at him, he doesn't exactly have time for this, so he pushed April away and kneeled next till Donnie, he didn't mean to hurt donnie- or Mikey*

*Leon stared at donnie, swishing his tail, before grabbing a few things, and slowly trying to work on removing the security chip, once thats out he can free donnie.. none of the turtles have to see him again*

*April glared at leon as he approached her, before leon decided to make a grave mistake and push her!*

"Hey! Leon! Get away from donnie!"

(I imagine leon still has, like a few things, they might not be the best, but they will do, also with anon magic anything is possible!)

He tenses up as Leo comes over to him, and pushes April. He chirps in alarm, bracing himself as his twin crouches beside him. A low, scared whine slips out.

"Leo-"

He makes a small, wounded sound as something sharp pierces into the back of his neck, jolting slightly and shivering. He reaches a shaky hand to the back of his neck and chirps in distress, a quiet and raw question- what are you doing?

She grits her teeth, backing up slightly.

"The sooner we move them the better, Raph!"

He nods, beginning to set up an emergency blood transfusion. The question is a valid one. On the one hand, the girl has a point. The longer they wait to move the patients, the less stable they get. However, being more stable than they will be in, say, five minutes doesn't mean stable. Under most circumstances, he wouldn't be comfortable trying to move Mikey. Purple, sure. But Mikey...

Still, there's Bishop and his massive mutant beasts to worry about. He shakes his head a bit.

"Purple will be fine. Mikey... we'll need to be careful with him."

*A portal opened and leon stares at donnie*

"Donnie."

"Bishop sent me to bring you back."

He perks up slightly, staring at his twin for a long moment. His stomach sinks a little.

"... I thought you left."

He glances away with a small huff. Bishop sent him, huh? He grits his teeth, holding onto Raph.

She startles a bit as another portal opens, and this time, a small and most definitely feathered Leonardo steps through. She frowns, glancing between the others to try and get a feel for what's going on here.

[Donnie is being carried by Raph. Chiisai is helping another turtle, who is missing the top portion of his shell, along]
