#first encounter

The Quiet One | Happy Lowman x Reader | one shot | Their first encounter

A/N: My first ever posted fanfic 🖤

A very easy and light start before I spiral down the rabbit hole.

Even though the Californian heat was burning on your skin, it was still a bit windy around. Your braided hair undearneath your helmet moving along with the wind rushing through. Crossing into Charming, you were met with the old welcome sign next to the dusty road. Your tires kicked up a cloud of dust behind you when your engine started sputtering along with another weird sound you didn't recognise before dying off completely. "Fucking hell" You muttered under your breath at the occuring incovenience.

@themew108 my contribution for first encounter anniversary~

i didnt know how to get it across that this was shinichis attempt at trying to make KID smile (just as kaitou KID leaves a smile on everyones faces!)

this was incredibly rushed (think i spent half a day on it??) so the art, the text the colors- everything seemed so, so lacking...

This came to mind recently and thought it would be cute to try. They are humanoid turtles who haven't seen much to know about mythical creatures. What would their reaction be when meeting a mermaid, then getting an unexpected gift. I came across this idea as I was scrolling around. With this one, don't expect the mermaids with the blonde or red hair, blowing in the wind, using their beauty to draw them in. Nope this is something different. Like Me.

Just so ya know, I ain't watch the new 'Little Mermaid' but it seems adorable. This is interesting enough to make a romance fic🤔🤔

He was wandering around an abandoned aquatic grotto when he found her

At first he thought he needed his eyes checked, then he looked again

"Half female, half fish. Oh my gosh. Are you a mermaid, lady?"

She shyly nods, confirming she is in fact a mermaid

Her unique and majestic beauty luring him in, making him question himself and other potential creatures out there

Her braided hair was so long, it provided good coverage for her breasts

Mikey is over the moon, excited. Thinking the animations did little to know justice because she did not resemble any of the mermaids he watched on TV or seen in comic books

Asking her questions like:

"Did you braid your hair underwater?"

"You're not gonna sing me to my doom, are you?"

"Can you talk to any fish in the sea? Like stingrays or manatees?"

"Are you familiar with The Loch Ness Monster by any chance?"

She confirmed Mikey was no threat, finding just as much amusement in him as he is for her

He noticed her scales start to dry up, offering to help her

She nods, granting him permission to pick her up and take her to the nearest waters

This dude is trippin holding this gorgeous creature in his arms

'Shes so slippery. My very own chocolate mermaid! In my arms! I never had this dream, maybe I'll have it tonight.' His first encounter with a creature as dazzling as him, he is glowing

He makes her laugh, she plays with his bandana tails, they hit it off nicely

He takes her to the pier and releases her gently

She doesn't say a lot, just motions for him to come closer

He kneels down, a little cautious, but sees that she has yet to do him harm

She kisses his lips, slowly

He stands there like the clown he is,'I'm kissin' the girl! A mermaid is kissing me!!!'

Before she disappears, she smiles at him,"Thank You." Then sinks into the water

Mikey stares at the spot the mermaid disappeared, still in awe with what he saw, felt, and kissed!

He leaves the pier making a promise to himself

"I'm never eating anchovies again!"

He'll brag to his brothers, they won't believe him, but Mikey will always have the memory

Donnie went to the underwater research station connected to the sewers via a flood tunnel

Hes alone, collecting data on water toxicity levels

His staff starts beeping with strange readings he can't explain

His motion sensors start going haywire, he assumes it's a glitch

He sees a shadow in the murky waters of one of the tanks, it's pretty fast

"Interesting. Guess some aquatic creature decided to come out and play. Nice to have the company."

Then the creature appears before him, not anything he was expecting as he shined his light at her

She frowned at him upon him jolting back, withdrawing his weapon

"Specimen appears to have a human female body. Her lower half resembles a fish. Maybe a shark. Her skin is brown with faint shimmering patterns near her collarbone. What natural bioluminescence." He rambles on as the curious femme stares at him

When she waves at him, it was confirmation enough to find a place where he can meet her out of the water

When he gets there, he is dumbfounded as he watches her rise from the waters, whipping her braids out of her face, and stared at him again

"I have met many sea turtles but never have I met a turtle such as yourself. What do they call you?"

His jaw won't stop dangling,"Donatello. They call me Donatello."

Her appearance both entices him and fascinates him, locs in a loose bun, necklace made of shark teeth, her tail tucked beneath her

Yet his scientific side still wishes to debunk what his eyes cannot help but see

'Impossible!' His brain screams,'Non-Mammalian sapience. Bipedal Torso. Ichthyoid lower anatomy. The convergent evolution alone-'

Donnie never met anyone who made him feel like such a mystery, yet his entire life revolves around mystery so the 2 have something in common in that aspect

He will study her, ask her questions, shy away from taking samples since they just met

He'll want to see her again, she agrees. Wanting to learn more about him

She gives him a piece of her braid, blows him a kiss, then disappears into the waters

He pulls up his hologram screen, adding a few notes and a reminder

"Come back to the research station to do more studies on this mystical being. I guess we aren't alone after all. I wonder what other creatures live among us."

The kiss she blew him, is more so embedded in his heart than his brain

He'll take anything he can get if it means a break from his brothers for a while

Yet, he was not prepared to meet someone as stunning as her

He was near the docks punching shipping containers when he heard a woman's voice, whimpering

He went to see what the trouble was, finding a woman trapped in a large fishing net on the dock

He sees that shes injured and in need of help

He approaches her cautiously, she shutters away only to be calmed that he means her no harm

As he tears away at the net he notices that she is no ordinary woman

Her locs were entangled in seaweed, her skin a deep, beautiful ebony, she had a pretty scaly body, what said it all was her tail

At first he thought it was a costume, only for her to shriek when he grabbed her lower half a little too rough, feeling that this was no costume

He wasn't scared but wondered'Da shell is a chick like dis doin' ere?Shouldn't she be in the ocean or somethin?'

He put 2 and 2 together, realizing she is a mermaid who got snared in a fish net, coming ashore to get it off easier

She is still a little apprehensive, but he helped her carefully

"So.....Yer a mermaid, huh? Ya not gonna sing me ta sleep, are ya? Ya Ariel's sista or somethin?"

She found his demeanor entertaining,"I have many sisters but none of them named 'Ariel.' And no, That's a siren. They're half human and half bird. Kinda like harpies and just as monstrous! Me. I'm just a mermaid who got caught in the wrong wave. And the wrong net!"

He ain't ever heard of Harpies nor Mermaids, this was a first and he couldn't believe of all nights this had to happen to him

He wrapped her arms with bandages he swiped from Leo's room, insisting she stay topside until she gathered her strength

Letting his brothers know he'll be home late, Again

Her curiosity with him was confusing, with her touching his biceps, asking how strong he is, what species of turtle he happens to be

He thought she was cute, not at all similar to the mermaids he heard stories about, especially her seashell covered bosoms

After a while, he releases her, asking if he can see her again

She pulls off a piece of her scale and gives it to him, her scales were turquoise color and shined as bright as her eyes

"Maybe. Just maybe. Keep this as a way to remember me. Farewell, Red Warrior."

She spits water at his face and swims off

He didn't even dodge, he was so captivated

The experience makes him wonder what else is out there and if they are as friendly

When his brothers question him, he keeps it simple,"I got a little wet at the docks. No big deal!"

He clutches the scale in his pocket, the memory of her smile for him to enjoy alone

He doesn't seem like the type to believe in mythical creatures, him being a mutant turtle who specializes in stealth, strategy, and the ways of the Bushido is enough

So what he encountered one night, made him rethink a lot on his existence and his brothers

Hes running a perimeter check on a flooded subway tunnel beneath the Manhattan when he encounters her

It's dark, quiet, and hes as focused as he always is

He hears humming, immediately retreating into the shadows

He is cautious as he investigates the sound, wondering who would be down here

He rounds the corner to see a woman

Dark braided hair, mocha complexion with a gleam, a scaly lower fish half, a tail that swung leisurely

His hands on his blade but not unsheathed

'This can't be real. I am not seeing what I think I'm seeing!' He paused and thought maybe this is what April was thinking when she took their picture

Hes read many books, but never on ones linked to mermaids because it wasn't his thing

As he pondered, she called out,"Who is there? Are you a friend or foe?" She asked

"That depends on you! What are you doing down here? Nobody should be here."

She giggled at his tone,"Maybe. I needed some time to myself so I came here for solitude."

He knew nothing about mermaids much less what they're capable of, but came out to get a better look

Hes besides himself, he glimpsed at the Little Mermaid but this one was nowhere near the women in that movie

She reassures him that she means no harm, adding that mermaids aren't ones for conflict much less wars

He settles enough to talk to her for a while, asking her where shes from, if shes hurt, or if there are others like her

Shes easier to talk than most women, she too understanding the importance of staying hidden

One thing they have in common, is that not many humans should know about them, otherwise it could be graphic

He has to get back to his brothers, she had to know,"You didn't answer my question."

He looked at her, coming to the conclusion that she wasn't one to want trouble, feeling comfortable around her

'She doesn't have legs so what could she possibly do to the city? This is still new. But she is an attractive women.'

He took her by the hand, noting her glistening skin,"A friend. A friend forever if you let me."

Her gift to him was a hug and a whisper,"I enjoyed talking to you. I'd like to see you again."

He smirks over her shoulder,"I'd like that too."

He leaves, looking back at her sitting in the dim light above her head, waving her tail at him

He'll cherish this experience for a long time, wanting to see her again
