Hey boys, what would you guys do if April was being mistreated by someone?
Casey: We...we do whatever we can
Snake update! The cat is locked in a different room so the big girl gets to explore! Sheâs grumpin at me though because I wonât let her explore under the furniture.
Uh-oh, someone kidnapped Mikey! Save him boys!
Leo: He may be blind but heâs still the absolute last one we need to worry about.
I had this strange urge to draw me and @turtledragonsâ as D and D characters soâŚ.. ya.
TurtleDragon is a Artificer (battle smith) Air Genasi that welds two light hammers and wares a light leg armor mech (kind of like Lucio overwatch). I also did not draw it because it would have covered their outfit. Also Air Genasiâs hair almost always moves because small gusts of air and always flowing around them. I think their backstory would be. Guild Artisan / Guild Merchant specializing in crafting and fixing armor, weapons, machines and explosives. (so donnie from tmnt)
I am a Wizard (necromancer) firbog. Now I am 5,9 but the average high of a firbolg is 7 to 8 feet tall so I made myself 6,11. And also gave my self more of a goat look then cow/bull. (ironically) ALSO I KNOW FIRBOLGS HAVE LEGS LIKE HUMANS NOT ANIMAL LEGS, but I thought it would be more fun if I did. My backstory would be a sage mainly a researcher in all things dead and scary.
We would met when my character heard about a town suffering from a case of the living dead. Only to find Quills characters already there. long story short a life long friendship was born.
also both of us are chaotic goodÂ
Quill, ânow I am not saying donât drink the whole bottle of wine I am just asking you to be carefulâ
Me, who has already drunken half the bottle âWhat?â
Quill, surprised pikachu face
This is so cool I absolutely love it!!
Heyo! Sorry about the radio silence I got kind of caught up in a reading binge as well as other projects for this month but I am still alive! In other news the Ask the turtle dragons thing is still going on! You can ask questions or share ideas if you want as well!

A Bat and Her Dragon Babies Part 2
A fan fic with Poppy and @turtledragonsâ au.
Rated T (warning: blood, swearing)
Summery: The boys get a check up and poppy worries about them.
It was morning, well morning for the hidden city. Poppy awoken to the sound of her alarm. With tired eyes she slammed her hand down too shut off the noise. She was up far too late last night. About a week a go Poppy had met a family that that was in a difficult situation. A family that was composed of 4 half kappa, half Tatsu hybrids, a Tesso, a witch, and a cyborg. A family that is detached from the conduct of the hidden city. And from what she could pick up, it was for good reason.
Poppy got up from her bed, and prepared for the day ahead. As she got ready, she pondered over that strange family and if they really would show up. A quick shower, brushing her⌠fur and teeth, getting dressed, and putting on make up. Poppy was ready for the day.
As she left her apartment, which was over top of her clinic, she began hearing the high-pitched babbling of Shino. Shino was a Futakuchi onna, and one of Poppyâs head doctors. Shino loved three things, waking up, talking and, iced tea. This made her perfected for the early morning shifts. As Poppy walking in, coffee in hand, Shino spoke up.
âHI POPPY, how are you? lovely day yes? Did you get more that freezing mint? If we are not busy, I wanted to start stockpiling some burn wraps.â
âYes yes yes, I got some.â Said Poppy âBut I am expecting some people to come in today for a⌠ahhh⌠immigration check up. So, I am going to need you up front with the nurses on till Daisuke gets here.â
Shino looked surprised and started inspecting the appointment clipboard. âReally?! I didnât see anything on the board?â she said flipping through the appointments scheduled for the day. Luckily, I was supposed to be a quite day today which was what poppy needed.
Poppy rubbed the back of her neck. âYa, sorry about that love.â She said âit was a bit of a last-minute thing. I will explain later, but if you see large mixed species family come in asking for me, let me know Aright?â Shino happily nodded, got up, and when to inform the nurses. And with that Poppy got to work.
Poppy then got to work on papers, medical supplies, and treating the few patients she had that day. A vary normal day for the bat. Soon enough the pa system comes on.
âDoctor Blair to sub waiting room 3 please, Doctor Blair to sub waiting room 3 pleaseâ
 âmust be the boysâ Poppy said setting down the forms she was signing. Poppy got up and hidden to the waiting room. When she got there, she opened the door and saw her patients. Leo, Raph Mikey and Splinter.
The waiting room was a painted a soft gray, with plants, two soft white sofas and a small desk for the doctor to sit and wright notes. There was also a few magazines for adults and a box on foam building blocks for kids
âHello boys how are yo-â Poppy was cut off from Mikey Jumping into her arms.
âPOPPY!!!â The small half dragon jumping into her arms. Poppy smiled, placed the boy down and closed the door betide her. âEllo love, thank you lot for comingâ
âuh no problem Poppy-But?â Raph shuddered âIs this really necessary? Â I mean we have been pretty good at staying hidden from everyone in the hidden city?â
Poppy looked over the review sheets, her brow farrowed. âAnd thatâs the problemâ she said âAll of eight of ya lot have bin technically breaking the law.â A wave of concern washed over the room.
âWhat do you mean breaking the law?â asked leo.
Poppy sighed and walked over to her chair ushering the others to take a set. Poppy began. âThe eight of you are unregistered mystics, this means that you are not permitted to enter any kind of mystical city, town or ect. This is because with no registration is no way to know if you have any disseises, suffer from any curses, have a criminal record in the human world. Or if your human, we need to know you can be trusted with keeping the hidden city a secret.â
âWait then why did you bring us here?!â Â Raph asked âdoesnât this mean you are having us break the law too?â
âNo not at all, if fact you being here would be the first step in receiving registration, you just did not go through the waiting proses. But thanks to my communication with Splinter and getting a better idea on why you donât have registration I have made sure that we skip that and skip any penalties for not having a permit.â
The worry lifted the room on hearing this. Raph turned to his father âw-what did you tell her?â
âonly things about draxum and big mamaâ He said
âI understand that there is more to talk about, but we can get to that later. For now, lets talk about registration.â Poppy began to describe the purposes and reasons for registration and that she will be giving the embassy two files. The public file for normal law enforcement, employers, and the works can look at. And a privet file that only the familyâs personnel doctor, or people high enough in government and or law to see it.
After a few questions it was time for the proper check up. Poppy stood up and walked over to the door they lead to the check up room. âNow because this check up is for your registration, it can only be the doctor and the patient family and friends need to stay outside of the check up room. This is to make sure no one has any dormant illnesses or if there is any information you wish to keep privet form your family stays privet. Would anyone like to go first?â
The Uneasy felling shot right back up. just giving away info on themselves that theyâve always kept close to themselves. Raph stood up âIâll go firstâ he said. And before anyone could protest Raph walked into the check up room and Poppy closed the door.
The check up room like the waiting room was also a soft gray but instead had a medical table, tools and the rest of the bits and bobbles you would see in the average doctorâs office. They were also some interments Raphe did not recognize. However, Raph came to realize they where more medical tools for different mythical creatures.
Poppy sat at her desk and Raph sat on the medical bed. âRaphael, Hamato, age 17, birth day August 10 making you a Leo, Ironic Yes?â Poppy asked Raph just looked at her. ââŚoh! I have been talking to you dad over the phone, mainly for this appointment.â Poppy said âohâ said calming back down. âOk Raph I am going to ask you a few questions and then we will follow with the exam ok?â
âUhh ok?â Raph said Clearly uncomfortable with the new environment. noticing Poppyâs voice and demeaner changed from the last time they met. From an annoyed Scottish woman to a motherly doctor.
âOK first vary simple How are you feeling? both physically and mentally?â Poppy asked.
âAh little worried were goanna be attacked but fine.â He rubbed the front of his neck and winced a little. âM- throat hurts but thatâs itâŚâ he added with a mutter
Poppy froze and looked up from her clipboard âa-attacked why on earth where you worried about that?â
He shrugged âAlways happens one way or another when we go out. Happened when we met you too.â
Poppy was silent for a moment then took out a small booklet and wrote something down. Closing the book and setting it down she spoke. âWell I can guarantee you and your family are safe here. Ok then uhhhh, you said your throat hurts?â
He didnât relax but nodded. âHurts to talk like this is all.â
Beginning to write onto her clipboard she asks âHow long he this been going on for?â
He tried counting on his claws for a bit âBout a year? Ever since we became dragons that is.â
âhmmm is it talking in general or when you speck different languages?â
âAny human language, feels like Iâm singing notes way too high for me.â
âMakes senses. Larger mythical creates have bigger vocal cords. I will look into some of the lozenge medication that even I use to help that.â Poppy continued to write in the clipboard âok next do you know if you are allergic to anything?
He hummed âNot that I am aware of?â
âmmmm ok Do you suffer from any bad habits? Harmful stimming, Smoking, or anything like that?â
âUhh, I eat anything that looks kind of edible?â
Poppy looked at him for a second and then went back to her notes âyou sound like my brothersâ she in a condescending tone âwe will work on that, next uhhhh, how do you feel when you shapeshift?â
âEh, pretty sure itâs the whole being a snapping turtle and all that. but uh, it feels weird? Like itâs right but wrong at the same time? I donât really know how to explain it.â
Poppy laughs and looks down at her self âI get that.â She crosses out that question and moves on âHave there been any difficulties with you new forms?â
He snorted quietly, finally starting to relax a little âOther than shedding, and the voice thing thereâs been no problems for me.â
âyep slandered stuff, a hot bath or using a humidifier can help with the shedding. Ok I this we are done with that group of questions; do you have any medical questions for me love?â Â
He thought for a bit then nodded. âDo you know of anything Dragons canât eat? Snapping turtles donât really have that problem but I donât know about dragons.â
Poppy thought âmmmmm no not that I can recall, however the fact that you are a snapping turtle means your primary diet would contain mostly meats but other then that no.â Poppy flipped the pages of her clipboard. â Ok medical questions done now I am going to have to ask you a few personal questions for your file. If there are some questions you truly do not wish to answer just tell me ok?â
âAlright.â He stiffened up again. Poppy notices and smiles. âThis will all be for the privet file, no one will know unless you tell them, ok?â Raph nodded but still nervous.
Then Poppy began. âfirst what is your biological gender and do you go be said gender?â
âMale and yesâ Raph said
âDo you have a specific sexuality identity? Gay, Straight, Ace?â Raph paused
âHavenât thought about it?â He was confused and just kind of shrugged. Poppy smiled âwe can leave that blank then.â She said and moved on the next question
âAre you sexually active?â
âNopeâ Raph said quickly âAlrightâ Poppy said and wrote it down
âWhat are somethings you find enjoyably in life?â
âUmm, lots of things, play fighting, playing games, swimming, hunting, collecting stuffed animals.â Raph answered âChristâ Poppy said âIf I didnât know any better, I would have thought you were me brother Victorâs kid.â Raph tilted his head and mad a low confused rumble.
Poppy continued âDo you find anything about your personality, physical state, or mental state that worries you?â Raph looked down at his claws. âItâsâŚhard to know my strengthâŚâ
Poppy said nothing and rote it down âaaaaaand there ok we are done the with the questions. Now the examâ Poppy first checked Raphs Ears, Eyes, and mouth. âEars are fine and your eyes and teeth have a slight tallow tint to them comment for most carnivores. Your throat is a bit inflamed but we already know the reason for that.â She then checked his fins, tail, weight, height (in both forms) and heartbeat as well as his magicbeat. âOk Raphâ Poppy began âEverything looks good I my want to talk to you later about you magical abelites latter with you family however is that good?â
Raph Paused âUm yea sureâ âGoodâ Poppy said âNow we are at the last partâ Poppy paused ââŚ.. I need to give you your vaccination shotsâ It went quiet, Raph got visibly more scared at that and started to stammer out excuses as to why not, none of them were understandable as they were all in dragonish. Poppy saw this and decided not to just we over the tray of needles and sighed âhm Splint told me you would be like this. Would you like me to bring him or one of your brothers in?â
He seemed to be trying to take slow breaths and just nodded. âokâ poppy said and walked to the door. She opened the door and peeked out âUh splinter?â Poppy waved him over, letting him inside and closed the door after him. âSorry can you stay with Raph while I give him his shots?â Before he could actually say anything, Mikey jumped up âHeâs freaking out?! I can help he needs a good distraction and Iâm really good at those!â
Poppy was stunned âuuuuuuuh ok sure but Mikey please next time nockâ Mikey sunk down âOh right, sorry about that.â Poppy sighed and Splinter left the room. Poppy brought the tray over trying to make sure Raph did not see the needles. âBefore we get started, I need to ask Raph have you ever had the chick pox?
âuhhh no, April and Casey did but we didnât get it, I donât think reptiles can actuallyâ He was trying not to look at what she was doing while Mikey was on his back patting his brothers head.
Poppyâs face turned into a look of concern. She walked over to the cabinet and pulled out another needle and a small vile. âI am surprised you didnât it must have been a more human strain. Either way we need to give you the varicella vaccine, with so many different kinds of mythical beings you could get one with some nasty addons.â
âO-ohâ Raph stammered, He hid his in his claws not willing to see what was going on. Poppy try to show a smile of sympathy as she moved to Raphs side and got the first injection ready. âthis will be over before you know itâ
Mikey immediately started up asking details about Raphâs latest stuffed animal and it did well enough to distract him a bit. And with that Poppy gave him the first injection. The first one was to draw blood the next 9 where the vaccinations. The whole time Poppy was working Raphâs panic attack got worse and worse on till. âaaaaand their All Done!â After 2 minutes Poppy was done. She placed the sample of Raphâs blood in a small box and began to clean up âsee not so bad right?â she asked.
âItâs-Itâs done? Thatâs it?â He peaked out from behind his claws. âYep thatâs it, you did grate Raphâ She said handing him a box of candy. âI guess you can go next Mikey since your already here?â
âOhâŚI may not have thought this though.â He realized as Raph wished him luck and made a hasty retreat. Poppy picked Mikey up and placed him on the bed, then sat back down at her desk. She flipped a few pages on her clipboard and began.
âHmmmmm Michelangelo Hamato born July 30th age 15. So How are you feeling mikey?â
âNervous?â he said. Poppy chuckled âthatâs understandable, but donât worry it will be over before you know it. Now do you have any allergies?â
âI donât think so.â He said
âDo you suffer from any bad habits? Harmful stimming, Smoking, or anything like that?â
He thought about it for a while âYea I put venom on my clawsâŚ.I really shouldnât.â Poppy smirked âyes you really shouldnâtâ She wrote it down âHow do you feel when you shapeshift?â He griped his arms and looked away. âLikeâŚlike Iâm losing myselfâŚâ He said. Poppy looked up. âCan you elaborate?â
He thought for a minute âItâsâŚI donât know it just doesnât feel like me! I know when I change, I need to be careful, really carefulâŚand⌠Iâm scared that one day I wonât be able to change backâŚâ Poppy was silent for a moment and before Mikey knew it Poppy changed her shape from the body of the bat to her human form. âIn the beginning we are all scared we may loss ourselves, when in reality it just takes knowing who you are not what you are.â
He sighed âI hope youâre rightâŚâ Poppy then turned back into her bat form and fluffed her fur âI was your age once of course Iâm right. Now letâs move on. Shall we? Have there been any difficulties with you new forms?â
Mikey sighed and rubbed his eyes. âThe uhh, venom is a problem but I canât really see anymore.â Poppy began the wright âOh? well venom can be a big problem for someone so young however it will be easier to manage as you get older. Now what do you mean you canât see anymore?â
âI mean I canât see anything unless itâs really dark.â He said a tone of worry in his voice. âextreme light sensitivityâ Poppy said âI will have a look at your eyes later but, most likely you will need to see an optometrist so we can get you some glasses to help with that.â
âIf you say so.â He shrugged; Poppy made a mental note to call Dr. Pharn for Mikieâs eyes.
âok before we move on Are their any general medical questions you have? Or is their something bothering you wish to ask me?â
He thought for a moment âAre you guys able to make anti venom?â Poppy chuckled âyou are really worried about that? Arenât ya? Yes, we will be making you an anti-venom itâs mandator in fact.â
Mikey grinned âIâm guessing youâll need some venom for that yea?â âyes,yesâ said Poppy âbut we can get that later, We are now on the personal questions for your file.â Mikey nodded âOh right, whatâs the next question?â
Poppy began âwhoa their, now before we get to that I need to let you know. If there are some questions you truly do not wish to answer just tell me ok? Not all of this is needed, and I know people can get uncomfortable with some of the questions.â
âAlright then.â said Mikey getting a better grasp of Poppyâs concern.
âOkâ said Poppy âfirst what is your biological gender and do you go be said gender?â
"Male and I go by it.â
âDo you have a specific sexuality identity?â
"Havenât thought much about it, havenât really had a reason to.â
âunderstandable, Are you sexually active?â
âNope.â
âAll righty, what are somethings you find enjoyably in life?â
âOh Oh! Pizza, and painting, drawing, skateboarding, and playing games, and Lou Jitsue, and my family.â He listed off. Poppy could only smile and wright.
Now the tough one, âDo you find anything about your personality, physical state, or mental state that worries you? Other then the venom, the eye sight, and the felling like your losing your selfâŚ..â âoh boyâ Poppy whispered under her breath.
He pulled in on himself âIâŚIâm worried Iâll hurt someone but that falls under venom and losing myself I guess.â Poppy leaned down to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. âI understand my dearâ She let go and wrote on the clipboard. âYou have nothing to worry about my dear, we will make you an anit-venom, and you will not lose yourself.â
âThat, helps a lot actually.â He grinned a little
âGood, now we move on the physical examâ
Poppy began to check his eyes first. âYepâ she said âwe will need to get you an appointment with Doctor Pharn. â (Doctor Pharn: local eye doctor and Poppyâs wrestling buddy.) Â She moved on his ears, mouth, teeth, fins, tail, heartbeat, magicbeat. (in both forms). And before Mikey new it Poppy was done.
âAlright hunâ Poppy said âwe now need to move on your shots but before thatâ Poppy gives Mikey a small container. âcan you fill that with your venom?â
He felt the little container. âIs this all you need? I remember reading that it takes a lot of venom to make anti venom.â
Poppy nodded âYes this will be just for testing, to find out the proper formula.â Poppy paused ââŚ. For some we can not make an anit-venom, because the venom itâs self is too strong, so just getting bags on venom only to find out you canât do anything with it can be a problem. Now before you panic, I highly doubt your venom that strong, but if it is, we will need to go though the proceedings of removing the venom in your body altogether. And the reason we donât do that for everyone is because the removal requires 2 to 3 high risk surgeries and are only permitted for people who canât get an anit-venom. Do you understand?â
He nodded and looked nervous but nodded. He filled the little jar with the yellow liquid. "Here.â He was a little shaky, he had a feeling his venom would be too strong. Poppy notices his nervousness and gave a soft smile âdonât worry, if it is toe strong then we can look into getting you some protective gearâ
Mikey froze. âHold up, that exists?â he asked. Poppy smiled widely âay it dose. Itâs kind of like mouth guards and heavy-set gloves. Most people who have a strong toxin in then donât want to go through the surgeries so we have to come up with other ways in protecting themselves and others.â Poppy took the container of venom and set it a side and grabbed the last tray. âNow we need to work on the last part⌠I need to take a blood sample as well as give you your shots?â
Mikey nodded "Oh uhh yea sure, I guess? I donât really know where you take blood from but ah not the neck? The venom glands are kinda close to the surface there.â He gestured vaguely to the sides of his neck. âLeo said something about the arm? or was it the footâŚâ He muttered more to himself than Poppy.
Poppy laughed âclam done laddie, here is what I will do. First, I will take some blood from your lower armâ she explained âThen I will be giving you your shots on your shoulder. Best part about being half vampire is that you can see a personâs veins and arteries. I can physically see what I am doing.â As sheâs is talking, she starts getting her gloves on and prepares the first needle.
Mikey just starts asking more questions immediately becoming distracted and asking everything and anything about how that even worked. Poppy answers his questions in a clam tone all while giving him his shots, taking his distraction as an opportunity. And before he new it⌠âall right laddie your all done.â
âAw cool! So we done done then? Want me to send in the one who wonât stop bugging everyone?â Poppy snorted âYes please and thank you Mikeyâ she said giving him a candy box.
âok, Thanks for the candy!â He called as he rushed out. Not long after Leo came in looking all round in heavy interest. It was obvious that he was itching to open every cabinet and drawer.
Poppy watched Leo and smiled âAfter I get everyoneâs information in file, I am goanna have no choose but have you as my assistant, here arenât I?â she asked. âWould you?!â He exclaimed then immediately tried to tone it down. âI mean yea that would be great.â Poppy chuckled and began her questions.
âLeo Hamato, age 16, birthday October 25. We are just goanna start off with some basic questions. First off how are you feeling?â
âPerfectly fine.â He said. âok, Do you have any allergies?â
âHmm pollen but itâs super mild.â He answerd, Poppy wrote it down. âhmmmm ok, do you suffer from any bad habits? Harmful stimming, Smoking, or anything like that?â Poppy asked
âBuild up of electricity. Iâm working on it but slip ups happen when making a new habit.â Poppy wrote it down âhmmmm conductors may helpâ she thought out loud âHow do you feel when you shapeshift?â
Leo pauses then speaks âItâs bizarre, it feels like it should hurt but it doesnât and I never know if I have legs or not. Things just kind of shift? I donât really know how to explain it.â He was looking down at his clawed hands as if they would bring the explanation to him. Poppy speaks âLike I told your brothers it is something you will get used to. However, I too will get that strange feeling and I had my ability to transform since I was whee bab.â
He looked up at her and grinned. âThatâs good to know.â He then however frowned a little after staring up at her and his tail found itself wound around a chair leg. âis everything alright lad?â Poppy asked. âOh yea fine, I just think Iâm supposed to be arboreal or something like that. Not much a fan of being on the ground or well, the short one.â âhmmmâ Poppy said with a smirk remembering her abnormally large height (for most yokai that is) and before Leoâs eyes Poppy shifted into her human form, Fire red hair and all. âif you think that was tall you should see my father.â Poppy said in both a joking way and a âI am not kiddingâ way.
He snorted âFor some reason I believe it but seriously you can shift back. Itâs more so being on the ground thatâs a problem for me, instincts and all that.â he was grinning and fully relaxed now that he had his tail grounding him. Poppy shook her head âah done worry about it laddie. I am me in both bodies. One s not lesser then the other. Now let us continue.â Poppy looked back to her clipboard âHave there been any difficulties with you new forms?
âMostly the electricity builds up and the lack of legs. The venom is another but thatâs not too difficult to deal with. Just things to get used to.â He answered as poppy wrote âah I see well I will have to gat a sample of your venom too themâ she said âok lastly Are their any general medical questions you have? Or is their something bothering you wish to ask me?â
He had a lot of questions but those could wait till later. One however stood above the rest. âDo you know how to tell what kind of humidity someone may need? and how to raise it if necessary?â Poppy stopped for a moment then spook âwell for most reptiles you would find out by look at their environment in the wild. However, itâs a bit difficult to figure that out for most mystical beings. When talking to your father I have already come to the conclusion that you boys are half kappa; a turtle yokai, half Tatsu; a dragon yokai that mostly lives near lakes, streams, rivers, etc. Also, your father is a Tesso; a Rat yokai but I digress. With that in mind and with Raph comment about shedding I will get you and your family some industrial heat lamps and humidifiers for each of your rooms. Test them out to find the heat and humidity you and your bodies prefer.
âYea that, that would be good especially for Donnie and Mikey.â He looked a little worried mentioning them but quickly shook it off. But as per her observation Poppy noticed his look and spook âwell I have already talked to Mikey, however your brother Donnieâ Poppy paused â⌠I hoped I didnât show it but when I saw him⌠letâs just say I am worried about him. Your father and I are looking into a plan that will hopefully help him.â As Poppy spook she finished up her writings waiting for Leoâs response.
Leo hummed âHeâs turned grey nowâŚused to have these shiny olive and bright purple scales now theyâre just dull and grey. And Mikey doesnât even have lungs anymore but he refuses to sleep in the pond.â He was muttering more to himself than her.
Poppy spook snapping him out of his mutterings. âwell itâs nothing we can work on nowâ she said âshale we continue?â
âOh, right big ears,â Leo said, commenting on Poppyâs vampiric hearing âyea we can continue.â Poppy smiled âalrightâ she said âSo the medical questions done now I am going to have to ask you a few personal questions for your file. If there are some questions you truly do not wish to answer just tell me ok?â
He nodded his eyes coming back into sharp interest.
âOk first what is your biological gender and do you go be said gender?â âMale and yes.â He said
âDo you have a specific sexuality identity?â âNot yet Iâm still figuring it out.â
âok ok, Are you sexually active?â âNopeâ he said.
âWhat are somethings you find enjoyably in life?â Leo answered âVideo games, sparing, shiny things usually knives, doing awesome stunts, swimming, and gliding.â Poppy wrote down. âKnife eh? I am more of a javelin woman myself hahaâ Poppy jokes regarding her time in the highland games.
âOk last question, Do you find anything about your personality, physical state, or mental state that worries you?â âIâm always worriedâŚthatâs probably not good.â He shrugged âwell donât sound TOO worried about itâ Poppy joked weighting it down on her clip bored. Commenting on his calm demeaner. âOk now that is done, we will move on to the physical exam, ok?â
âWorks for me.â Leo said as Poppy got to work.
Like his last two brothers Poppy examined Leos Ears, Eye, mouth, teeth, fins, tail, heartbeat, magicbeat. All in both forms regarding that Leo did not if fact have much or anything to really worry about that see could see. As this was happening Leo filled a vile that Poppy gave to him with venom.
âalrighty then Leo we are done with the physical exam now the last part⌠I need to take a blood sample as well as give you your shots, but before we do that, I need to ask you this truthfully.â Poppy said leaning on the doctors table âIâve talked to your father about this already but do you wish to be my assistant here? Thou the work will not be easy; you will be getting formal training here as well as a small pay. You will really be more of an intern or apprentice here since you do not yet have proper schooling in the medical field. But this will be a big jump start for you if you want.â
He froze a for a second then nodded. âAnything, just anything is better than those old outdated books and this? Helping even just once here would be more than anything I could have even hoped for just a week ago.â Poppy smiled and got the Flu vaccine out from the drawer. âwell that sadly means we will have to give you this as well but I will be more then happy to teach youâŚâ Poppy stopped âwell teach you as much as I can before you get into an actual medical school. â
âIâll take it, anything at all. Anything is better than performing surgery and hoping they donât stop breathing let alone cutting the wrong thing.â he was shaking a little but managed to hold his arm steady for her.
For the next few minutes Leo and Poppy talked about the things Leo would get to do as Poppyâs assistant in the clinic, as Poppy gave him his shots.
âAll doneâ Poppy said, cleaning up her station and giving Leo a candy box. âNow wait outside with you family I just need to gather my things.â Leo walked outside to his brothers excited about what Poppy offered him.
As they were talking Poppy walked out of the check up room giving a bunch of papers and a container with the blood and venom to one of the nurses. She then turned to Splinter nodding her head to the side to signal she needed to talk to him. The boys saw their father stand and walk away from they and being to talk to Poppy. Thou the boys could not hear them the look of frustration and worried showed on Poppyâs face.
âWhat do you think they are talking about?â asked Mikey. âProbably about Donnie.â Said Leo âwhen I was talking to her, I mentioned Donnie and she got that same look on her face.â âwhat did you say?â Raph asked âNothing reallyâ Leo said shifting in his seat âI told her I was worried about him going dull from the lack of humidity and was I said him name she got all worried. Almost like she knew something I didnât.â The boys looked at each other loss in thought, only coming back into forces when Poppy and splinter walk over to them.
âAlrighty boys have a seat.â Said Poppy as she sat in the adjacent seat form them.
âWell this has definitely beenâŚ. Interesting, but nothing that we canât work on.â The boys looked at each other, confused. âSo I am going to go throe what I have panned for the next few days and something things I want you boys to look out for. Ok?â The boys nodded âgoodâ Poppy said.
âFirst I want you boys to look out for each other. If any of you get any pain, nauseas, fever with in the next few hours, please call me. You me be having a negative reaction the vaccination.â Poppy stated âYour father will bring April and Cassy here tomorrow ware I will give the three of them a check up. After I fill out their forms, I will be bringing some heat lamp and humidifiers to install around your home as well as some lozenge medication for you Raph.â Poppy said. Leo and Mikey looked at him in confusion. Poppy continued.
âI am going to also book an appointment with Doctor Pharn for you Mikey to get your eyes checked as well as sending in the measurements of your hands and wrists to get claw guards for you.â Mikey got excited to hear that giving Poppy a smile. âaaaaaaand thatâs it, do any of you have any question?â They all shook their heads. âGrateâ said Poppy âthen I think we are done here.â They all got up and poppy walked them to the door. âthank you do much for your help Poppyâ said Splinter. âyes, Thank you!â The three turtle dragons said. Poppy giggled âYou are most welcome I will see you four laterâ Poppy waved them good bye as she watched them leave the clinic. Poppy then walked to her office sat at her desk and put her head in her hands. Giving a frustrating sigh.
âPoppy?â a voice called out. Poppy looked up to see Daisuke a kitsune and one of her nurses, standing in the door way. âIs everything ok.â He asked.
ââŚthe family that just left has a lot of things going ageist them.â Poppy started âespecially with one of the kids that didnât come today.â Daisuke sat in one of the gest chairs across for Poppy. âwhy do you say that?â he asked.
Poppy stared blankly at the wall for a few moments then spook âcall it doctors intuition but, that boy is struggling from some of the worst PTSD I have ever seen.â Daisuke heart sunk ready to ask more questions until poppy handed him her book of attacks. A book that recorded all the intense and attacks from monster hunters, the human mage population and more. Poppy spook. âwe canât do anything right now so it is best not to dwell on it. Here I need to take this to the mystic city embassy, it has all the reported attacks from this week.â Daisuke nodded âsure thing bossâ he said âthank youâ Poppy responded and he walked off.
Poppy now sat in her office alone once more thinking about the lasts weeks events. Poppy knew that this was only the beginning.
