Snow painted fluttering kisses to everything in its reach, neon lights here and there illuminating the scene with a red, pink, and blue hue. It wasnât pouring, but it was enough that two girls had their hoods pulled up and scarves ready for equipping at any moment.
âApril, are you sure about this?â [name] shifted in her position, looking around the alleyway uncertainly. âThis seems a bitâŚI donât know- Sketchy?â
The girl in question let out an exaggerated gasp, clutching her hand to her chest. âIâm offended [name]! You donât trust your best friend?â April faked a pout, though it dissipated into soft giggles in which [name] couldnât help but join. The two girls continued their way through the alleys, eventually coming to a manhole. Oddly enough, the snow had calmed, settling into a light shower now.
Despite the cold temperature, [name] and April shed their jackets before lifting the manhole cover. The ravenette woman gave [name] a reassuring smile before sliding down the hole. The remaining girl looked unsure, eyeing the dark hole before inevitably letting her fears fly and jumping as well.
She landed on a surprisingly soft surface - A landing pad.
Right, April did mention that one of her friends set that up so no one got hurt. [name] stood up and brushed herself off before continuing to follow April through the sewers.
It was damp and a bit humid under the city, a vast contrast to the cold atmosphere above. The walls of the sewers had graffiti all over them, most made [name] question who mightâve done it. To be fair- Who even takes the time to do it underground? Sheâs seen enough at train stations and in alleys to be used to it, but still - People climb into the sewers to do this? Well- Actually, it would make sense if it was the people April was showing her to right now.
They were seriously talented. Bright colors, amazing graphics and even meanings! It was astounding, [name] doing a full 360 to get a good view of the stunning images. She wished her phone wasnât dead so she could take a picture though, it was just beautiful! No matter though, because April suddenly mentioned that they were almost there, which took any other worries off of [name]âs mind and replaced them with new ones.
Would Aprilâs friends even like her?
She could be awkward sometimes, what if they couldnât find anything in common? What if April likes them better? What ifâŚWhat if they hate her?
It was nerve-wracking, truly. Things suddenly felt a lot more bleak and awfully familiar. April was [name]âs only friend, if she leftâŚAlright, not the time! They were almost there, no going back now.
The whole idea of this meet-up felt so vapid. What would it do? Sure, it might not do any harm, but what good could it do either? There you go again [name], youâre almost there!
âAlright, weâre here!â April offered a fleeting gesture of comfort before ducking under an entrance of sorts, [name] following soon after. Here we go.
âGuys! I think Aprilâs here!â A raspy, slightly high-pitched voice rang out in the rather bigâŚhouse? Well, itâs the sewers- A huge skate ramp was what greeted the pair first, until four shadows caught [name]âs peripheral vision. They disappeared, then reappeared, getting closer and closer each time. Sheâd never admit it, but holy shit was that terrifying.
In little to no time at all, the four figures had closed in on both of them. Then, the lights flickered on, and the fear settled into confusion.
Aprilâs friends wereâŚcosplayers? Cool, she supposed, but whyâd they get dressed up to meet her?
The four figures looked to be a mix of turtle and human, and holy hell, all four of them were built. Like- The tallest one looked like he could snap her like a- Wait why was he staring-?
â...Are you guys cosplayers?â
Silence followed, and then a sudden bark of laughter from everyone but [name]. She nervously joined in, unsure of what was so funny about the question. It felt like a taunt, like there was something they knew that [name] didnât.
âCosplayers? Thatâs a new one.â The one adorning a blue bandana wiped a tear from his eye as he spoke, light chuckles still escaping him. [name] felt heat rise to her face out of embarrassment. What was going on-? She was being genuine-
âCome on âNardo, sheâs obviously not seen a mutant before-â The purple one spoke up next, voice monotone though wavered with chuckles as he lightly smacked âNardoâs back.
âMutant? Whatâs that?â [name] spoke up quietly, now more embarrassed than anything. One of the four certainly got a kick out of the fluster on her face, but they didnât utter a word.
âLong story short; Weâre mutations. Human-turtle, the whole shebang.â Purple spoke again, a lazy grin resting on his face. [name] froze in place. Not with disgust, nor with fear. She was just so confused. Howâd April meet them? Howâd they get mutated? Did they always have to hide, is that why sheâs never heard of something like that happening before?
â...Okay then..Uh- Good to- Pleasure to- Pleasure to make your acquaintancesâŚ?â The girl averted her gaze, internally screaming at how much she stammered with such a simple sentence. April giggled, patting her head reassuringly.
The turtles could only smile softly, noticing [name]âs nerves, so they would take the first step.
âThe nameâs Leo, but call me anything ya want love~!â A cold glare was shot in his direction, a chill sent down Leoâs spine immediately, but he shook it off as nothing. Probably just the wind or something.
âJust call me Donnie, or anything you see fit.â The purple one smiled gently, already fond of the rather quiet [name].
âAnd Iâm Mikey! I donât care what ya call me either to be honest-â The orange turtle grinned brightly, light just radiating off of him like he was the sun above.
âMy nameâs Hamato! Wait no- U-Uh- Raphael- C-Call me Raph-â The tallest one, adorning a red bandana, looked just as nervous as [name], and it was probably the light but it almost looked like his cheeks were flushed as wellâŚNo, probably just the light.
[name]âs nose was a rosy pink from the cold and it twitched out of habit. Aw, she was like a little rabbit! Absolutely adorable. She looked at the four turtles and smiled gently. It was a genuine one that made the red turtle swoon internally. He felt his heart pound even more just under your gazeâŚWhy did you make him so nervous?
âItâs nice to meet you all! April talks about you guys a lot, so itâs an honor to finally see you guys in person.â She chuckled, looking at the other lady before back to the turtles. âIâm [name].â
The girlâs smile grew just a bit more, feeling her prior nerves get lifted more and more. The brothers sensed it as well, happy that she was comfortable now. âNew friend acquiredâ and all that jazz. Well- Except for one of them.
Her every little move made him want her even more. She was pulchritudinous, ethereal. She was something he had never seen before, something he never knew he needed. She wasnât loud, she wasnât immature, she wasnât like other people heâd met.
The rest of the night went by unfortunately fast. [name] and the turtles + April settled on playing video games and watching movies for most of the night. Raph couldnât stop looking at [name], memorizing all your mannerisms and âtellsâ, while also dealing with any of his brothers [mainly Leo] that were getting a little too close to her.
Halfway through the hangout, Raph and Donnie had left for a bit to talk or something along those lines. The red turtle had come back after around 10 minutes, purple one taking longer, but for some reasonâŚDonnieâs behaviour had changed. He seemed more on edge and an odd guilty look kept crossing his face whenever he met eyes with [name]. His hand also seemed to be resting in his lavender hoodieâs pocket a lot more.
Throughout the night, everyone had taken a few breaks for snacks and pizza dinner, but overall it was just a very fun and chill time. Donnie had heaters planted all over the base so the cold outside wouldnât affect them much.
[name] got along with the brothers really well, even their dad Splinter. Everything was going great, but time, like all things, went by too fast.
It was getting late. Way past midnight, probably, but the only clock may or may not have been missing because a certain someone removed it while no one was looking. Things were calming down and mostly everyone was tired. [name] didnât really want to leave, but she did have her part-time job the next day. Morning shifts sucked, but she didnât have a choice.
She was going to say her goodbyes and leave with April until Donnie asked to speak with her in private. Raph sent a small grin and cold gaze that seemed like a threat over in the purple turtleâs direction, eliciting another guilty look from him.
Donnie pulled [name] over to the kitchen, hands behind his back now. She looked up at him with confusion, tilting her head. âDid you need something Donnie?â
He only looked more guilty, eyes brimming with the emotion to the point it was about to pour out. It was concerning the girl.
â[name]...Iâm so sorryâŚâ He was about to take his arm out from behind him, but at the last second, he couldnât do it. âI canât do this. Listen, you need to get out of here as fast as you can- RaphâŚHeâs not going to let you go. I donât know what happened, but heâs not acting right. Youâre in danger, [name].â
She didnât even have time to process his words before what happened next. Donnie didnât either. A large shadow cast on the room, before suddenly, Donnie was yanked away and shoved to the other side of the room. Though, the thing he had been holding back from [name] was now in the new arrivalâs hands. She felt her hands begin to shake at just the sight, eyes widening.
The red turtle glared at Donnie with a hatred that should never be put upon on a brother, yet here it was. Donnie was holding his bruised softshell, though what was most concerning was his tight hold on his throat. The edge of the kitchen table had damaged his vocal cords, and he couldnât yell for his brothers to help them. Then, like a flick of a switch, his eyes were softer once met with [name]âs. Not another second wasted, the item was revealed to beâŚa syringe of some kind?
Oh hell no. Raph inched closer and closer, eyes radiating a sick kind of lovesickness that stirred an uncomfortable feeling in her gut. She backed away from him step by step, until her back inevitably hit a wall. His hand pinned her there effortlessly, and her yell of help was cut off when the syringe was plunged into the side of her neck.
He watched with curiosity and satisfaction as [name] almost instantly crumbled to the floor, holding her face in her hands, feeling her body shift and change around the bones. A scream of pain left her lips, which felt like catharsis when put up against how quiet and soft she had been this visit. It was rewarding for him, in a sick, sadistic way.
A sick realization racked through Donnieâs body. Regardless of the scream, no one would hear them. He had sound proofed the whole hideout. He was their inevitable downfall.
[name]âs screaming only died down after the rearranging of her innards and external appearance was done. Raph stared down at her with the utmost adoration, and when she finally looked up at him, regardless of the strong glare, he melted.
Her new form as a mutant was just as stunning as the human form, if not more. Raph was head over heels. How could someone be soâŚlovely?
[name] was horrified at her new appearance. She didnât feel right in her own body, I mean, was this even her own body anymore? She felt tears escape her tight grasp on emotions, resulting in her figure shaking even more.
Short gasps escaped her lips as Raph picked her up easily, caressing her hair. She wanted to cry, scream, fight, kick, whatever it took to get his hands off of her. But he didnât relent, only giving Donnie the silent command of staying fucking quiet.
He carried [name] to his room, laying her on the bed. âNow weâll be together, forever.â He chuckled softly, moving a piece of her hair to the side. âI mean, who else is gonna love you now?â A smug grin was what he gave before heading back down and explaining to everyone that she wanted to stay the night.
He also explained that Donnie had a really sore throat and wouldnât be able to talk forâŚa while :) The two remaining brothers only shrugged it off as him coming down with a cold. It wouldnât be too shocking, considering how low the temperatures in the lab sometimes got.
April was suspicious, but not for long.
Who couldnât trust the kind, loving Raph after all?
