Small AU where Falco messes with Raph’s head so much that he willingly joins him and literally tries to assassinate his brothers on multiple attempts

[jelibaen]

   He’d been told to kill them.           Kill them all. he’d said. Make them feel your pain. This is your chance. So take it. Make them feel the anger, the frustration you go through each night. Get them while they mourn, while they suffer. One by one.           Make them fear.

   And that’s all he really wanted. Sixteen years of brotherhood and so called ‘turtles first’, and they didn’t understand a damn thing. They didn’t even look for him. The failed attack on Donatello, his absence, and they hadn’t even bothered to try and find him? Two months, he’d given them. Two months to prove that he was worth it, worth the search, worth fighting for.    He’d gotten nothing of the sort. 

   In return, he wasn’t going to make it easy. They didn’t deserve that, Leonardo least of all. His damned older brother... getting in the way. Bossing him around. Pretending to be all high and mighty, when in truth his anger was just as bad. The only reason it wasn’t so apparent was that Leo was the teacher’s pet, the favorite...    He’d never forgive him for that.

   A quick death was not what he deserved. So the first thing he’d done when he found him on that rooftop, looking out over the city with that stupid the-world-on-my-shoulders expression, was to charge in and stab his sai for his side. Ensure death first, and then play with him after.    It was the least he could do for the traitor.

     “Thought I’d have to go down there and drag you topside myself before I got a good stab at you.”

     “Fight him? Enji, come on. There’s no fighting him, not now.”    He was... tired. He had been tracking his twin all night, wondering and debating whether to go ahead with it at all. Attacking the others was easy. He didn’t have any second thoughts about that. But Enjiiro was... different. This was his twin, his closest brother, his other half.    Surely that meant something more?

   Raph growled to himself and shook the thoughts away, his hand clenching tighter around his sai. Maybe it meant something more, maybe not. But it didn’t matter. What’s done is done, and he had more things to do before the night was out. Either Enji was going to crawl home bloodied and broken, or he was gonna have to make sure that Raph didn’t get up again to hurt him.        I don’t want to hurt him.

     “You’re still important to me, you know.” Suddenly his voice softened, the weird look in his eyes fading into something like distant pain. Raph let his arm lower as he looked away, glancing down to his hand. What the hell was he doing? Was he gonna kill his twin? Could he? It didn’t... It was...    Wrong.      “You always were. But I have to... I gotta do this. I gotta make it stop hurting... You understand, right? I love you, Enji, but I can’t...”        I can’t do this. I can’t hurt him, he’s my twin, he’s--           The only thing holding you back. Once he’s gone it will be easier. It will stop hurting so much. You’ll be free.

   Freedom was a wonderful concept. Raph stiffened again and sighed, lifting his eyes back up to his twin’s, his jaw set. He could do this. For himself, he had to.       “I’m sorry, ani.”

   With that, he lunged in, a snarl ripping from his chest as his sai aimed for Enjiiro’s eye. Maybe he had to do this. But he could at least grant his twin a quick death. He owed him that.

   It was easier than he’d expected to get Mikey separated from the others. All he had to do really was follow them until the Foot decided to be assholes and spring in a fight, and then jump in and drag the little cretin off to the side. The sounds of the fight would drown out Michelangelo’s own, and once they got far enough away, he’d be able to have his fun like he wanted.    Truth be told, as much as Mikey annoyed him and plagued him when they were younger, he was probably the one he wanted to hurt the least. Leo was always on his nerves first, and Donnie wasn’t far behind. Mikey? Most of Mikey’s annoyances were just some good fun.    But if he wanted to hurt the others and break them down, Mikey had to go first.

          Do as you need. I will keep the others away.

     “How’s it goin’, little brother?” Raph stopped once they were a block or so away, wrapping his arms around Mikey from behind to get a better grip on him and looked down at the freckled face with a smile. Almost friendly, almost familiar, but his eyes glinted the wrong way.      “Happy to see me?”

All the King’s Men//Closed RP

   Growing up and learning from a ninja was one thing, but as Raph kept learning, ninjas still had nothing on the stealth of a rat. Being both a ninja and a rat must have its advantages, really, but he hadn’t felt this confident in his abilities for a long time. Forget using the shadows - use everything. Pipes, brickwork, notches in the walls. Find the smallest crevice and make it seem you aren’t there. Make them overlook you.    It was working wonders so far.

          Go. 

   He had his orders, and even if they were a bit messy, it would be easier to get it over with. Take one, make the others find it, let their fear make them vulnerable. Then strike.    An old tactic his King had used against them many times.    And now as he stalked along the pipes overhead, he kept his body low, each limb stepping down in perfect silence as he kept his eyes trained on his brother. He could attack like the Foot. Go in all silent and then draw delight from the attack. Could go in like he’d been taught by his sensei and his brothers. Strike, fall back, slide away.

   Heh.    He’d never been one for subtlety. So instead of silence, Raphael took a good grip on the pipe and swung himself down with as much momentum as he could get, letting go of a yell as he slammed into Mikey’s shell and went for his throat.

     “Kaze. Get out of the way.”    He was having trouble this time. It was harder to do this than he expected, but he needed to. This was the only way to get at him, the only way to make Leonardo hurt the way he wanted to. The only thing was that Raphael hadn’t expected it to be so painful for himself as well. He felt the ache in his chest already, the pain that came along with attacking children.    His children.

   Raph growled and held his sai tighter, his eyes narrowing as he looked towards the smaller son. The biggest threat was Kasai - he was so much like him. Too much like him. He knew Kasai would not stop protecting his siblings until he was dead, so instead of dealing with the pain of trying to fight him and take out one of the others at the same time, he’d decided to go for Kasai first.    He hadn’t really expected Kaze to step up to the plate instead.

     “I’ll deal with you after. Now move!” Raph snarled, his breaths picking up as he tensed. He didn’t want to do this. He didn’t want to do this, he couldn’t, they were just---           DO IT.

   Letting out a frustrated roar, Raph snapped his arm forward and threw his sai at his son, tears rising into his eyes as he lunged after it.
