TMNTTrickorKink 2022 Part 1: The incredible shrinking lair
This story is based off Into The Shadows by @turtle-babe83, so unless you are following that story or you are part of the group it's being written for, this story may not be your cup of tea. This year I decided to write my friends as characters instead of the Y/N genre. As I have some inside knowledge of what is to come in ITS, this story takes places a few weeks after the mouser attack on the lair.
Is the lair getting smaller? It has to be getting smaller! There is NO WAY this space was the same space Kassie, Valerie, Lucy, and Rebel had entered just a few weeks ago! Ugh…the walls, the ceilings, hell even the floors, are closing in!
What day is it? Is it even day time? What month is it? How long have we been here? Oh my god, this is torture.

Master Splinter, being the wise and observant father that he always is, notices that the women’s moods and, with some in particular, their tempers are starting to strain under the weight of the forced confinement.
These women are of the top-side world, born under the sunshine and raised in the open air, the dark tunnels and caverns of the sewers aren’t something that they are used to facing day in and day out. If all of his sons are to have a fighting chance at their own happily ever after, something needed to be done quickly because as of now, some inter-personal situations were getting a little tense.
The astute rat waits for all the women to retire for the evening before catching the eye of each one of his sons and silently signaling them to meet him in the dojo.
Leo and Raph walk into the training area together.
Raphael’s large frame crowds into his older brother’s space and his broad palm smacks the back of Leo’s shell, “Miss Sassy pants really knows how ta slam da door in your face, duhn’t she? The best part is…it’s YOUR door! Ha!”, the big brute chuckles heartily at his old brother’s misfortune.
Leo knows that he should ignore Raphael and not let the his brother’s taunts get under his green skin but needing to release his own tense frustration he wheels around mid-stride and bites back, “Yeah, well, I see that Kassie went to bed without you for the 3rd night in a row”.
Raphael’s face turns sour at the reminder as he and his old brother face off. He’s about to buck-up and challenge the eldest when Michelangelo bounds through the middle of them doing flips, nearly colliding with Raph’s head, “Watch it, Mikey!”, the red masked beast barks his ire at the youngest.
“Sorry, bruh!”, the exuberant turtle calls over his shoulder.
The three brothers kneel before their sensei as the fourth belatedly joins them, his glass framed eyes still engrossed in the data on his tablet, periodically glancing up to give his master his divided attention.
“My sons”, the rodent master solemnly begins, as he stands with his hands clasped behind his back, “I have noticed that our guests are stressed”.
“Ha”, huffs Raph with a grumble in his voice, “dat’s an unda-statement”.
“Raphael! Do not interrupt.”, Splinter’s correction is quick and sharp.
Mikey’s half-hidden chuckle can be heard in the resulting silence and Donatello slowly puts away his tablet hearing the seriousness of his father’s tone.
The ninja master continues, “As I was saying, our guests were forced here under circumstances that were out of their control. They are not used to our way of life. We must endeavor to make their stay more comfortable and to gift them a reprieve from the confinement of the sewers”.
Leonardo and Donatello exchange quick worried glances before Leo hastily, but reverently speaks up, “But, dad, they’re being hunted. We can’t just let them wander around the city unprotected until we stop whatever it is that Jared and Karai are planning”.
“I concur, Leonardo”, the old rat acknowledges with a dip of his head, “However, we must not imprison them as our adversaries would do, even if it is for their own safety. We must figure out a way to give them a break while keeping them safe”.
Mikey is in complete agreement with this father’s words, he can see the effect that the lack of control and freedom is having on his shining sun Lucy. Even with his best jokes and antics, it is getting harder and harder to get her to smile and giggle. These aspects of her are what he treasures the most and he isn’t willing to sacrifice them. Remembering the fear and darkness in her lovely blue eyes when he found her strapped down in that cage that Stockman had her in, sets his blood boiling each time he thinks about it.
His bright sunshine needs a taste of freedom soon and he’ll do everything he can to ensure she gets it, “Guys, they need this. They’re slowing fading down here. At least, we get to go out and patrol at night, but they aren’t allowed to leave the lair”.
The four brothers take turns looking at one another, silently agreeing, but shrugging as to how to remedy the situation.
After a moment of quiet contemplation, Donnie raises his hand in the air and offers, “Actually, I believe there are several issues that we need to address…”.
Turning to Leonardo, the purple clad terrapin continues, “One, we need to get close to Jared to see if he’ll let something slip. Two, we need to build more trust and cooperation with the police force, to align them with our cause. After all, it is one of their own that we suspect to behind kidnappings and mutations. And, three,…the ladies do need a distraction.”, the slender turtle acknowledges, while nodding his head, seeing the wisdom in his father’s words and inwardly acknowledging the frown he’s notice marring the beautiful face of his own sweetheart lately.
Leonardo looks from his father and his genius brother, seeing the logic of their thinking but still worrying for the safety of those under his charge, “What do you suggest, Donnie?”.
A clever smile graces the face of the Donatello as the plan springs to life in his overactive mind, “I suggest we host a Halloween party for the police department personnel and city officials that know about us. We can gain the favor of police with our party. The ladies can hide in costume and enjoy some time outside the lair. We, of course, will be there to watch and protect, as well as see if Jared’s behavior will give anything away.”
Not surprisingly, the two brothers best known for action than for caution hop on to this plan right away.
Raph eagerly agrees with his nerd-brain brother, “Yeah, yeah, yeah…a party is a wicked idea!”.
Rubbing his sizable palms together and envisioning this feisty red-head in some type of naughty costume has him grinning wide.
Michelangelo starts vibrating with excitement, “Guys, I can see it now! Music, drinks, all the pizza and candy we can eat…and all the women in as little as possible”. Splinter gives a small sigh and cups his forehead in his hand.
Leonardo rubs his chin absentmindedly as he thinks through the proposal. All of Donnie’s points are valid and a party that they hosted would be a more controlled event than a casual stroll through the city, “Okay, then, let’s do it. We’ll use one of the abandoned buildings closer to the docks. Donnie, see what surveillance you can rig around the property. I’ll get a meeting with Chief Vincent to get the invitation started. Raph and Mikey can handle the music, decorations, and food. We’ll get Casey and April to help with that as well. The ladies can help from here crafting decorations, it will give them something to do while we’re patrolling.”.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
The next morning the women are instructed to sit around the kitchen table, relax, and enjoy being served like the queens. Kassie and Rebel sip on the coffee loving prepared by their turtles as Val and Lucy stir the hot cups of teas set before them.
The ladies all look at each other knowingly, something is up.
The guys are too happy and chipper this morning. Additionally, while a big family breakfast is their norm, it is rare to see them all dancing around the kitchen helping Mikey flip eggs, fry bacon, toast bread, slice fruit, and squeeze fresh orange.
Something was definitely going on.
As Raph adds strips of crispy bacon to Kassie’s plate, Kassie takes the opportunity to press for information, “Okay, big guy, spill it. What happened? What did you do?”.
Raph’s face morphs into a comical expression of feigned innocence, “What do ya mean? Nothin’s happened.”.
Kassie continues to stare at him, watching for the innocent mask to fall but he just turns and starts adding the salty crispy strips to Rebel’s plate.
Mikey’s dishing out large portion of eggs on Lucy’s plate while coming to Raph’s defense, “Yeah, nothing’s wrong sweet cheeks, we’re just trying to make your morning a good one.”.
Donnie sets small plates of toast and muffins in front of each of the women, planting a kiss to Rebel’s forehead as he sets her plate down.
Lucy and Val exchange glances.
Finally, as a green hand slides over her shoulder to add slices of orange to her morning tea, Valerie has had enough of the odd behavior and quickly places her hand over the steaming cup, blocking the attempt.
“Okay, that’s it. What’s going on. Ya’ll are acting strange”, she asks directly at the blue eyes staring at her in surprise.
Leonardo sighs and rolls his eyes, this woman is going to be the death of him, “Why are you suspicious of everything?”.
Valerie just sits staring at him.
After several tense moments of them silently staring at one another, the Leo brings the stalemate to a close with a sigh, “Fine. Look, we know this whole situation hasn’t been easy on you ladies. Your lives have been turned upside down. We wanted to make your morning easy and enjoyable. Plus, we have a surprise for you.”.
At the mention of a surprise, the cautious faces of the ladies brightened a little. “A surpise?”, squeaks Lucy in glee, “You blokes don’t keep us waiting, what is it?”.
A broad proud smile pulls at Mikey’s face, “Angel Cakes, you’re going to love this! We are throwing at Halloween party and you get to be my date!”.
“Wait! What?”, Rebel exclaims in disbelief around the bite of eggs in her mouth, “Are you guys being serious?”.
Donnie takes a sip from his coffee mug before sliding a seat up beside Rebel. Sitting down, he loops his long arm around her shoulder, “It’s already planned out and guests invited. Now, we just need to come up with costumes.”.
The atmosphere around the table changes, the heavy down-cast mood lifts, and everyone is excited to discuss the event.
It is decided that the women will order parts of their costumes online have them shipped to April’s apartment. They’ll get to spend the day there getting ready and enjoying a bit of sunlight, something that they have truly been missing. Later that night, they’ll be escorted to the party location by Chief Vincent and several other officers to ensure their safety.
Mikey and Lucy decide to do a couples themed costume. As they discuss the logistics of their idea, Raphael grows a little jealous of their excitement. A couples theme…huh…something he thought he would never have the opportunity to do in his life.
Later, as he helps Kassie back in bed, he asks if they could do a couples theme as well…which shocks the hell out of Kassie. She never imagined her rough ninja would be so sentimental. She readily agrees to allow him to pick their couples theme, which makes his face light up like the sun.
As they are discussing their theme, there’s a knock at Raph’s door. Lucy peeks her head into the room and asks, “Ready to discuss our girl costumes? Val and Rebel will be in to join us as soon as they are done washing the dishes.”.
“Dat’s my cue ta leave”, Raph states as he skirts around Lucy to leave the room.
“An actual American Halloween party!”, Lucy exclaims as Raphael shuts the door behind him, “I’m gobsmacked. I haven’t been to a costume party in years.”
“I’m just excited to get to spend the day at April’s apartment and seeing the sun for a bit”, Kassie replies.
The two women chatter excitedly as another knock is heard at Raphael’s door.
“Come in”, Kassie calls from the bed, where Raphael has propped her up and tucked her in for comfort.
Leonardo and Donatello enter looking sheepish and awkward. This should be interesting, Kassie thinks as she studies their body language.
Leo clears his throat, keeps his eyes on the ceiling, and starts to speak, “We’d like to ask your advice, ladies. We’d like to know what kind of things Rebel and Valerie might be…uh…well, you see we’d like to…ummm….”.
Donatello rubs the back of his neck and stares at the floor as he speaks up to help finish Leo’s failing sentence, “We’d like to impress them with our cosplay choices. Are there any genres or themes that they would appreciate?”
Kassie and Lucy fight to hold in their giggles at the obvious discomfort of the two males asking how to impress their friends. Kassie keeps her face as neutral as possible as she replies, “Aw, that’s sweet guys, I’m sure Lucy and I can help you pinpoint something that will interest them.”
Moments later Valerie and Rebel pass Donatello and Leonardo exiting the room.
As the two women join their friends on Raphael’s bed to discuss their wardrobe plans, Rebel has to ask, “Why did I just over hear Donnie stating that he needed to pull out his welding equipment? What is that industrious turtle up to?”.
Lucy and Kassie exchange looks and bright smiles. “Ohhhh, nothing.”, Kassie replies in a sing-song voice as Lucy snickers in the background.
“Okay, so what are we all dressing as? Should we do a group theme?”, Valerie asks as she falls onto the bed.
“Mikey and I are doing a couples costume”, Lucy replies back.
“Interesting enough, Raph and I are too.”, adds Kassie, “So, sorry, no group theme, Val”.
“Fine. I guess I can go to my standard ideas comic hero or video game character.”, the burnette replies nonchantlantly.
“What do you see Donatello getting hard over?”, Rebel inquires to the group.
“A computer or a tool?”, Lucy chuckles jokingly.
Kassie scrunches up her face at the suggestion, “Mmmm..maybe you could a naughty nurse?”.
Rebel piffs at the suggestion, “I’m that every day, I want something to really knock him on his shell and have him worshipping at my feet.”.
Valerie rolls on to her back and throws her arms under her head for support, “The boy’s a gamer. I’m on his system all the time, he plays WoW like me, hell, he even plays a Warlock like me. You know, those Warlocks have a very sexy succubus minion. I bet he’s watched that animation many-a-time and thought it would be interesting to have one in real life to play with. She’d be easy enough to replicate, add some horns, some wings, a corset bustier and a whip and you’re golden”.
Rebel smiles wide…”Ohhhhhh….I likey”.
