I’ve already posted this but here it is again! In better clarity :)

So about that story comp huh…..
So this is the only pretty good enough art for when Echo competes…..
Okay uhhhh backstory time :D
—————
Echo was raised by Draxum (he’s her blood father btw) and was trained to be a general for his war against humans.
When Echo was about 12-13ish she was given to Big Mama to help her with.... War stuff (I would get into it but I fear that would make this too long).
Ofc, Big Mama twisted the deal at the last second so she had Echo as her champion/assistant. Draxum could only communicate with Echo by sending her handmade battle outfit that needed constant replacement. Cuz... Y'know.
During Echo's time as champion, she made a friend, Mars, a mutant/yokai (idk yet?) Koi fish. And just because me and @percy-eats-souls (co-creator) could, Echo had to kill Mars in a death match :3
Time skip to when echo is now 15, Echo did a lot of crimes for Big Mama. Assassinating people who haven't fulfilled debt, bombing the occasional gang trying to sabotage the Nexus, y'know, the works.
We are now brought to when Echo meets the turtles in Ep. 7 Bug Busters. A ton of fighting a convincing later, Echo joins the Mad Dogz.
Hijinks and shenanigans ensue, and somewhere in-between all the crazy, Raph and Echo form a romantic relationship.
And the best way they break it to the boys? Simply forgetting to tell them 🤷
---------
Hope you liked that little introduction to my silly little trauma dumpster ☺️ (jk I love Echo with all of my heart and soul)
@tmntstorycomp I hope this is ok?
Okay to placate you guys have some BABBIES
You’ve already seen them, but this is Earl and Grey :)
Main masterpost
Notes below cut ⤵️
-No spots in baby form
-Grey has an early spot on left ankle, so Echo and Raph can tell them apart
-they have big shells to protect them from harm
-shells are spiky, not spiky enough to hurt though
-3 spines (shell spikes) like Raph
- white underbelly to camouflage from predators in the sea
-babies (curled up) are the size of Echo’s hand, and their shells are about the size of Raph’s palm
-mostly sleeps and eats in when 1-12 months old
Size/age timeline
1-12 months old, fits in palm (eep)
1-2 years old, size of regular human baby (starting to talk) (Echo and Raph get married)
2-3 years old, toddler (becoming more active, terrible twos and threes and such)
4-5 years old, start to explore and develop cognitive skills (first time seeing the surface)
And so on and so forth :)
You see some preteens and kids walking around, looking a bit lost but otherwise fine. Do you want to approach them?
@tmntstorycomp
Echoed!Raph: Come play uno with us and we’ll tell you where you are :)))
(Just a note; leo’s all grr grr angey bc he knows Echo’s gonna adopt every kid she sees and he’s tryna stop her and I was bored and wanted to make him all silly and angy)

💔Raphael x 💔Reader 🐢
“I love you.”
His voice was quiet.
The whole world was…
In that moment there was silence.
All she could hear were his words.
“I-I-I…I don’t.”
She refused to meet his gaze.
Too worried to see the sight of pain in his eyes.
But it didn’t matter.
She could already feel it all around them.
It surrounded them like a heavy cloud, threatening to storm at any possible moment.
“I can’t.”
“It’s because I’m a monster, a beast,…a freak of nature…”
The pain welled up in his throat. He tried to not let it show but his voice sounded shattered and cracked.
Like a mirror hitting a floor.
Cracking into a million peices.
Just like his heart.
“No…I’ve met monsters Raphael…and you…you are not one of them. They hide. Not under the bed…or in the closet…but in plain sight. You’re not a monster…you are perfect.”
“Then why.”
“I’ve said those words…those three damn words!…Too much…they don’t mean anything to me anymore…but I will say this…I trust you…I truly do…I care for us…and everything we are…and what we will become.”
It was if her words had been fingers, digging deep into is heart. Now they pulled away, his blood and flesh still under her nails.
She took a piece of him…and no matter how painful it was. How painful it was to be exposed.
To be completely open in her presence.
He knew that however many pieces of his heart she clutched. She would remold his broken soul and his broken heart…
No…they would mend each other…they would create something…
Something beautiful.
She wouldn’t fix him.
And he wouldn’t fix her.
They would take pieces of each others brokenness to build a new.
…
An unbroken mirror has only one perspective, a shattered one has multiple.
But two…two broken and shattered mirrors…if they choose to open up aboutge pieces of their past.
If they choose se to face each other.
They can reflect every piece of each other.
They can stare each other down with an open and intense infinity.
An image so hard to define, so hard to imagine…yet here they were.
Here.
His Harmony, Her Hope Part 1 ❤️🐢
(Side note: Raph x OC. This is a request from the lovely @rinksu-no-joo , they had the original concept and idea in mind so I thought I ought to credit them. This is a prologue, so she goes from a kid to 18+ here. Feedback is always welcome!)
She started out in a lab. She wasn’t the only one. There were others. All different types of animals. All labeled by number, hers being 063. She never knew their treatment was unfair. But it was.
They all were brainwashed into thinking of it as a privilege. But really they were all test subjects. She was a science experiment and that’s how she was treated.
They were put in cages, given food and water, and the bare minimum for survival. They were expected to behave, if they didn’t they would be taken by the men with masks.
They were given “treatments”. Pills and injections weekly, sometimes daily. The injections hurt. It felt as if every cell in her body was being morphed and disfigured. Sharp ringing pains pulsed throughout her body. The effects lasting for hours, but sometimes days.
063 was scared of the men with masks. She saw how the taken ones came back. They were was an empty nothingness in their eyes. So, she decided to keep her head down and not cause trouble.
However her neighbor, 299, was not so careful. She was mischievous and often tried to encourage 063 to talk or play games. 063 eventually opened up. The pair became friends.
But slowly 299 became sick. Very sick. Her once cheery laugh, became small tired smiles followed painful wheezing.
Doctor Stockman told the men with masks that she wasn’t responding to her treatments very well. What was actually happening was her natural biology was weakening with the advanced mutagen. The two could not coexist.
Then one day the men with mask came. 299 was too weak to even sit up, so they had to carry her away. They never came back. She never came back. Her cage lie as empty as the whole in 063’s broken heart.
As 063 grew up, the men with masks would praise her. They would make disgusting remarks about her body. Yes, she was beautiful. With big lilac eyes that shined like amethysts, and her beautiful white and black marbled skin, with the body and height of a mutated salamander but the curves of a woman. But that still didn’t make their special attention okay.
With only a few mutant experiments remaining, their treatments were stopped. And she was moved. Their new living area was bigger but not exactly nicer. But to her it was luxurious.
Their training began. The men with masks trained her and the others in capoeira. A style of fighting that seemed to mimic almost dance like movements between opponents.
Everyday they trained. If they didn’t preform well they would be punished. If they weren’t up on time they would be punished. If they didn’t take things to the utmost seriousness, they would be punished.
They were taught who to serve, and who to take from. They were taught how to use their natural animal abilities to fight. That meant she had to relearn her invisibility and poison secretion tactics. You see, in the lab she would get punished for them, but here it was rewarded.
But none of it was worse than the day they had to fight each other. She didn’t want to hurt anyone else. She didn’t understand how hurt was considered good, it didn’t feel good on either side. Nevertheless, she did what she needed to survive.
Finally, the day came. Master Shredder wanted to meet his new weapons. He was told they would be sure to destroy anything in the way of their mission. But would they? Would she?
What if a small part of 063 hadn’t been brainwashed? A small part of her that would and could change?…she just needed to find the right guidance…and that day was coming very soon…
His Harmony, Her Hope Part 2 ❤️🐢
(Side Note: I’m not that great at fight scenes yet😢. POV changes. Thanks again @rinksu-no-joo for the idea and being so awesome!)
063 POV:
A loud blaring alarm shook her immediately awake. Red blazing light blinked and flashed around room, as she quickly hopped out of bed to see what the commotion was all about.
One of the men with masks was calling out their numbers, “323, 458, 063, 917,…” unsure of what to do she made her way over.
“Sir, what the hell is going on?” One of her peers asked over all the noise.
The look he gave 801 made it clear she was speaking out of turn to a superior. “You all are being transported to Japan to meet Master Shredder, but first we need to give you an injection.”
It had been years since 063 had any injections. She wondered if she was strong enough now to take on the pain. But before she could think about it much longer, Doctor Stockman was already calling her number.
She quickly followed him into his lab. He always had so many cool gadgets but she knew better than to touch them. Still it was nice to look at them, especially to distract herself from the immediate and intense pain. His chemical filled beakers, test tubes, and other scientific equipment, usually grounded her when her world started to spin.
Today was different though, as she looked around to see the changes he made throughout the years, she noticed the box of neatly stacked syringes. The fluid in them was different in color and consistency than she was use to. She braced herself for impact, trying her hardest not to use her natural defense mechanisms. If she poisoned Doctor Stockman she would be in a huge heap of trouble.
But as he slowly pushed the needle into her soft flesh, she realized that despite a little prick she felt no pain at all. Actually, it felt fine…numb…and painless.
As she drifted out of consciousness, she could hear him shout: “She’s done…take her…917!” Maybe they were all being punished. Maybe this was the end…She felt nothing as everything, even her own thoughts, went dark.
…
Raphael POV:
“It appears the Foot Clan been building something right under our noses! Now they’re transporting it to their base in Japan.” Donnie typed away as a maps and diagrams popped up on his computer screens.
“Is this the same place that Shredder is hiding out at?”
“Yes Mikey…Look guys, their ship hasn’t left New York waters yet, we have to try and stop them-“
“And see what exactly it is they’re taking.” Leo interrupted, nodding in understanding.
“Mkay so what are we waitin for? Let’s go already.” Raph was already ready. As soon as he heard Donnie say Foot Clan he knew it was bad. And then they were on their way.
…
Every inch of the ship seemed to be guarded by Shredder’s henchmen. Nevertheless they were pretty bad at doing their jobs, each of the turtles quickly and quietly disarmed some of them.
“Cowabunga motha fu-“
“Mikey!” Leo whispered furiously.
But it was too late the others had already noticed their presence on board. “Great going idiot!” snapped Raph, already preparing for battle.
“Sorry dudes, I gotta little carried away.”
As they kicked, punched, and overall fought the Foot Clan, Donnie spewed information about where their precious cargo was located on board. “We’ll have to go down to the third level!”
“Guys! Check it out.” Leo gawked as he finished his opponent with a final thwack to the back of his head and pointed.
There, in the distance were more ships.
“More…?” Raph wondered why they needed so many ships.
“Let’s head down below, and figure out what it is that we’re dealing with. Then we can see if we need to tackle all these other ships” Leo stated, opening a hatch that lead below.
After fighting off more Foot Clan guys than they could count, they finally arrived to a singular box, on an otherwise empty level.
To Raph it didn’t look like anything they could open easily. “Well what now leader?” He looked over to Leo.
It still angered him sometimes that Leo was in charge, but Leo tried to give each of them, but especially Raph more leadership moments from time to time.
“Well whatever it is, it’s probably to difficult to open. But it looks like it’s an important piece of the puzzle for whatever they are building. We need to take it back to the lair. Donnie check for tracking devices, Raph do you mind?” Donnie finished up and pushed it over to him.
Raph grunted as he lifted the heavy metal box. He was surprised that it was pretty light for a metal box with supposedly something inside. But he decided maybe that was what Shredder wanted them to think, and didn’t say anything.
…
063 POV:
She was cold. It was dark. But she could…she could hear voices…? She wasn’t dead! Before she could get too excited she calmed herself and listened.
“Raph careful! We don’t want to destroy what’s inside!”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever.”
These weren’t voices she recognized. Who could they be? Why did they not know she was in there? Why was she in there? Where was there? She didn’t know. She stayed cautious. She felt cramped and alone, just as she felt as a child. She jolted as she heard the awful sound of metal being cut. Sparks and small pieces of metal pierced her soft skin. It surprised her more than it hurt.
Then she saw light. It was bright and her eyes had to adjust, but she was able to make out him…And he…peered down curiously at her…
His Harmony, Her Hope Part 3 ❤️🐢
(Side note: There’s no specific POV so it’s just gonna switch naturally. Co credit to @rinksu-no-joo Everyone is aged up)
The recognition hit him hard. It was another mutant? It? She. She was…beautiful…she was naked! Heat flooded to every part of his body. His limbs felt like warm uneaten jello that got left on the counter all night. He knew he should do something but all he could do was stare.
She was used to being tall and big, but being here in a box, surrounded by unknown mutants made her shiver in fear. The one masked in red had muscles on his muscles. He looked almost big and mean as stared down at her with a certain intensity, if not had been for the noticeable blush that flooded across his face. The purple one on the other hand, was quite obviously trying to do anything but look at her, with a face almost just as flushed.
“Woah! So that’s what boobs look like up close! Nice!” Raphael’s instincts finally kicked in as he hit his youngest brother’s head.
“Mikey you asshole! Can’t you see that she’s terrified?” He glanced around frantically trying to find something to cover her.
His new blanket! It wasn’t finished being knitted yet, but it was enough to protect her. He swiftly snatched it from his lounge chair and brought it over to her. He held it out to her, and tried to show her that despite his looks, he wasn’t that scary.
This wasn’t like him! She was part of Shredder’s new evil plan, yet he still felt the compelling urge that she wasn’t a threat.
She sniffed at the fabric, it smelled warm and musky. Not a bad sent but an enticing one. Like this blanket was her only chance of survival. She grabbed it, pulling the soft warmth over her cool skin. Yet she never once looked away from his intense green gaze.
Leo, you also had a late reaction jumped up, “I’ll go get Splinter!” he took off running.
Donatello shifted his goggles trying to get a read on the strange new mutant. “Donnie! Stop that! Yer just freakin her out even more! Just ask, like normal for once!”
“Okay okay…So uh…do you have a name?”
She frowned. Did they mean number? Only people could have names. Yet all of them seemed to have names. “…063…?”
The turtles frowned in confusion. “See! If you just let me do a sca-”
“Here she is Dad!” An older mutant stepped up.
For the first time she allowed her eyes to roam the room. This wasn’t at all what she was expecting. Her world started to spin again in panic. She needed to anchor herself in those green eyes again.
“Who are you and where did you come from?” His voice was soothing like old classical music.
“She says her name is 063!”
“Mikey my child, let the girl speak for herself.”
She knew she was trained differently. She knew this couldn’t possibly be Master Shredder, still she spoke, revealing her past to them. “I am 063, the men and the doctor told me I was ready.”
“So they numbered you and left you naked like some sort of lab animal!” Raphael could feel his anger rising.
He was not just mad for how they treated her, but how they would have been treated had they not been saved by April. “But that is what I am…” Nothing in her aurora eyes seemed be evil. They were just clouded with delusions from being brainwashed.
“Oh my, what did they do to you my dear?”
“What do you mean? They were treating us, giving us new opportunities. We were sick and they were trying to make us better. They didn’t always succeed, and sometimes they were harsh, but I am strong now. I am ready to serve Master Shredder. But you aren’t…you aren’t the other mutants…are you?”
Splinter sighed. “I’m afraid you have been manipulated since childhood. Shredder is evil. He needed you as a weapon, nothing more.”
Her whole world was a confusing mess. It couldn’t be true! A small part of her knew but it was so far buried. She was sad. She was angry. She was confused. She was numb. Her whole world seemed to be. And not even his comfort could save her at the moment. Or so she thought…
His Harmony, Her Hope Part 4 ❤️🐢
(Side note: Name change! @rinksu-no-joo , I can’t believe we’re on the 4th part already! I love working with you 😆!)
Raphael POV:
Raphael stared at her. The panic behind her eyes felt familiar. Her uncomfortable body language like deja vu. It took everything he had not to hold her. Hold her and tell her to let it all out. He wanted her to know that she could be vulnerable with him. He knew how overwhelmed she was. Not really, but he had a sense.
He had felt that that feeling many times. The times when he couldn’t process what he was feeling. The times where his own confusion brought him to anger. Anger at himself on the inside, even though from the outside, it seemed he was mad at the whole world.
Raph frowned, none of his brothers seemed to notice her growing anxiety. In fact, Donnie was frantically dialing up a number on his watch. “I’m gonna call April, maybe she’ll have some clothes that will fit!”
Raph rolled his eyes, but he knew Donnie was right. Besides, maybe it would help if there was if there was another girl for her to talk to. “…April! This is an emergency! Do you happen to have any…um large clothes, like for a big person? Yeah…a leotard?…that will work…What’s this about? Well…um…come to the lair as quick as you can…yeah we need to show um you something…something important…Yeah bye!”
“…Raphael!” His eyes snapped to attention. He hadn’t even realized Splinter was trying to get his attention. “I need you to steady her, make sure she stays covered, and help me bring her to the dojo.”
He nodded, glancing at his three brothers who were huddled together discussing the situation. He was glad Master Splinter chose him and not Leo. It gave him a way to help her, which is what he desperately wanted but didn’t know how or in what way to do so.
She leaned against him. Her shaking was so frantic, one might think she was cold. “That’s it…I got ya…yer gonna be okay…” He tried to find the little light in her eyes, but the tears that streamed down her face had already put it out.
“Leave my son.”
“But I-”
“I said leave!” Reluctantly he left. He knew that Splinter could calm her. After all, how many times had Splinter calmed his storms?
063 POV:
She never thought complete strangers would care so much. Even those who knew her never cared. But his gentle wise voice soothed her fear. Even if it was just for this moment. He cradled her as if she were his own. Technically the turtles weren’t his by blood either, but that didn’t make him any less of a father.
Right now she needed to hear him. And listen, and to follow his advice. “Sweet child I’ll be honest, I cannot begin to imagine how or what you are going through. But I want you to know that our home is your home, if you wish to stay here you will be welcomed…and treated as an equal.”
She nodded leaning further into his nurturing embrace. “Y-Yes…” All she could do was let go. Let go of the pain and pressure inside her heart.
“Good…hold on my dear…I have something for you…” He glided to a small book shelf across the room and brought back a small book.
A symbol and some characters lay on the neatly bound, but throughly used cover. “This is the story of yin and yang…”
She listened intently as he spoke. She knew his lesson would all make sense in time. But for now she absorbed his words. “You my dear are white and black, and I don’t just mean your marbled skin…Your dark past that lie behind and bright future that lie ahead may feel unsteady now, but soon you will find balance…soon there will be harmony…My point is numbers aren’t fit for a lady…Kaina…a name for the one mixed with bad and good…the one who will find peace and tranquility, not only in herself but for those she cares for…you are all that Kaina…”
For a long time she sat in silence with him, processing everything. She had a name. She had a name! She had a name, Kaina…Kaina. Still, something was off. Something didn’t make sense. “But how can you trust me…?”
“I have faith. You should too…find hope dear Kaina…find hope.” He smiled gently leaving her be in the empty space.
Hope…her eyes flitted around the room. Hope…her eyes landed on him…“Hey…uh…sorry to bother ya, but April…a friend of ours is almost here. She has some proper clothes for ya…” His gentle smile contrasted greatly with his hulking body, but for whatever reason hope flickered like a lit match in her heart, desperate to ignite some sort of a fire before burning out…
Raphael POV:
He almost hated himself for disturbing her, she seemed so much calmer than she had been. “I need a few more minutes…is that okay?”
“That’s totally fine, take yer time okay?” Her small, barely noticeable smile filled his heart.
He was worried that she would be scared of him. They were both mutants but maybe he had hurt her when trying to get that damn box open. He pushed his unpleasant thoughts aside, leaving for her peace.
Donnie was greeting April at the lair’s entrance. Filling her in on every precise detail, with big stupid scientific words. He loved his younger brother, he did. But Don needed to realize that not everyone was a genius like him. After clarifying is tongue twister riddle of nonsense, April’s eyes went wide.
“She’s doing somewhat better, but she needs a few minutes to compose her feelings or somethin. But maybe if she talks to another girl she’ll feel better, so maybe you should go in there April…” He knew how good April could be at calming too.
She always acted like a big sister, giving them advice for girls, even though Raph knew in his heart that nobody would ever love him like that. Not only was he a freak of nature, but his brooding personality would never allow someone that close to his fragile heart. But maybe…it was possible now. After all, he felt something with her that he couldn’t quite understand, or even explain or express at the moment.
Kaina POV:
A female mutant just like her! She had too admit it was starting to make her uncomfortable being surrounded by all these guys. They were mutants, but they were still men. She wondered what type of mutant April would be.
Her head snapped up. “…Kaina…Kaina can I come in?” It was April!
“Yes!” She hoped her voice didn’t sound too enthusiastic, but then she realized it didn’t matter she was safe with them, they weren’t going to punish her for her normal and natural functions.
In walked a human. Her heart pounded, her eyes searched for an escape, there was no way out. Her eyes like daggers on the human, the target. Who was she? Before she could be hurt she sprang into action. She tripped her with her tail, slamming her down on the floor. April tried to fight back but Kaina was already on top of her, threatening her and asking her questions.
Raphael POV:
“…Kaina? I like it.” Of course Leo had to kiss Splinter’s ass.
It didn’t matter if he liked it. It wasn’t his fucking name, it only mattered what she thought. Her comfortability came before anyone else’s right now.
A sudden high pitched screams caught him off guard. The boys hurried quickly to the dojo. April was being pinned down. Kaina was crying, muttering curses under her breath. He looked up at his brothers, all of them had their weapons drawn.
“Ow! It burns!”
Kaina had so much fear in her eyes, Raph knew violence wasn’t the answer. He quickly pulled her off of April and as much as she kicked and screamed, as much as her skin seemed to sting his own, he hugged her. Pulling her tight into his embrace, coaxing her. Allowing her tears to fall onto his scaled skin. He held her until she stopped fighting. He held her till her breathing became steady again.
Kaina POV:
Leo bent down lifting the human to her feet. “April are you okay? I never thought she would do this…” April?
April was a human? April was trying to kill her. “…She was trying…to inject…me…with…” His eyes seemed to understand and comfort her.
“These aren’t syringes Kaina, these are sewing needles, Raph gave them to April in case the leotard didn’t quite fit. That’s all.” Donnie reassured her, showing her the small kit.
“April is a good human, she would never ever hurt us.” His gruff voice rolled like water over rocks in a shallow stream. Raphael’s touch felt so warm, so comforting.
“Yeah dude April saved us from Shredder. We could’ve just been experiments like you. But she rescued us and brought us here. Not to mention she keeps us a secret from other humans, except for our other allies.” Mikey nodded at his brothers and April.
“Why don’t we get outta your way and let you get dressed, then you can rest for a while. How’s that sound hmm?” She nodded, she was already getting sleepy from being in his arms.
They left. She told April how sorry she was. And now she reflected on her day as she pulled up the fabric. It felt soft against her sore cramped muscles. A whole lifetime of emotions had spewed out of her in a single day. She was exhausted. She turned around in the mirror admiring the way the little specks of glitter shined and shimmered. Just how the dark black of the fabric consumed any surrounding light, sleep consumed her and she fell asleep…hoping…hoping to wake up for a better tomorrow…
His Harmony, Her Hope Part 5 ❤️🐢
(Side Note: It’s been officially a month since I started! Thanks for everyone who likes, follows, comments, requests, or reads my work. Without you I would not have the confidence to write. 💕 Love y’all! POV changes. Mini flash back kind of. All characters are aged up! Credit to @rinksu-no-joo she put in most of the work, I just chose some words to make it flow better!)
Raphael POV:
He couldn’t sleep. Because of her. Every single time he tried to close his eyes, his mind would wander back to her. Seeing her. Touching her. Hearing her. Smelling her…All that was left was to taste. His heart wanted something that he could not have, and even though his tired brain submitted to it at first, he knew he needed to stop.
Not only because it was wrong to think about a girl you just met that indecent way. But it just wasn’t possible. Surely she would pick Leo over him, or even a human. She might be a mutant but she’s beautiful. Damn she’s beautiful!
He decided to distract himself. Even though he was tired he forced himself to keep pumping iron. One more rep. To punch harder. Faster. Stronger. But no matter how hard he tried, for some reason she was still in his heart. Like a small bulb in a dark room, her light was carving into even his darkest of corners, of the depths of his mind, heart, and soul.
In the morning he was throughly exhausted. How could Donnie fucking do it? Coffee? Energy drinks? What the fuck was even in that ‘Worlds Best Mom’ mug? “Hey, fix me up some of…that stuff…will ya Don?” His brother looked up surprised. He chose not to question it though based off the ‘I’m gonna kill the first thing that pisses me off’ look he was getting from Mr. Grumpy Pants.
“Woah dude, you definitely don’t wanna drink that…it’s good…but the side effects last for days man. Trust me I’m usually down for anything but…never…ever again. Woo wee! That was a wild trip!” Mikey was probably right, but maybe the ‘side effects’ would take his mind off of things.
“Mikey you’re being dramatic, it has only kept me up for…three days. But that’s normal for me! I told you that caffeine would affect your ADHD, and mess with your brain’s natural chemistry…But you had to sneakily make yourself some anyway. There you go Raph. I specifically engineered it to also help my neurons process things faster, so it’s a little different than regular coffee. Made it black just how you like it.” Raph didn’t. He hated coffee in any form, it tasted like shit. He’d rather stick to his water, occasional soda, and those damn good protein shakes that Mikey always made.
Kaina POV:
It was early when she woke but she stayed in bed. Staring hard at the high ceiling making sure it change back into her tight cell from childhood. But it never did. In the distance she could hear a keyboard clicking.
Searching even further she could hear the sound of flesh hitting tough fabric. She focused in on the grunts that were coming from the individual. They were raspy but determined growls. It was him. Her heart fluttered.
“…Raphael…” She said his name aloud, letting it roll off of her tongue. He must’ve also been contemplating life. What else would urge him to work out this early?
She carefully got up. Tip-toeing to see him. He was sitting now. Eyes tired and empty. She felt the urge to fix whatever troubles that lie within him, but how could she when she was still fixing herself. She decided to try and sleep again. Maybe it would help aid her faster. Maybe he would. She a woke again some time later. Hearing voices but focusing only on his.
Raphael POV:
“Sooo…guys…we have a female staying in our man cave, that’s different!” Dammit why did Mikey have to bring up her.
“First of all, we’ve never called it that. Secondly, we’ve had April spend the night before, it’s not that big of a deal Mikey.” But was is. Maybe if she wasn’t so damn cute it wouldn’t be. But she is. Not because she’s a female, because she’s just her. She’s Kaina. She’s gorgeous. Raph didn’t agree with either of his brothers on this one.
“Bro! Of course it’s a big deal! What are you even talking about? Don, now we don’t have to die alone…now…for dibs are we picking straws or-”
In walked typical Leo, saving the day. Well at least he brought pizza. “No Mikey. What’s your problem anyway? Ever since Kaina showed up all you can think about is dating, when you should be more worried about how many more mutants Shredder has made. Bebop and Rock Steady are already hard enough to deal with, not to mention these new mutants are trained. And who knows if she is actually trustworthy.” Great Leo was up. I mean he was correct this time, but he’s still Leo.
They all grabbed a slice, well except for Mikey who was already wolfing down his third slice.
“Bro you’re too narrow minded. If Shredder made her how many other hot babes do you think you made? We just gotta turn them good, and then boom! Girlfriends! My plan is fool proof.”
That was it. Raph smacked his younger brother in the back of the head. “Shut up! Mikey if she was interested in that she’d choose it for herself. She’s not property, ‘sides she’s had enough decisions made for her.”
He took another bite contemplating his next move. He smirked. “Anyway I don’t know any woman who’d want an ugly bum who can’t keep his room cleaned.”
Mikey gasped in horror. “Oh shoot you’re right! I gotta clean my room real quick!” He ran off just like Raph had planned.
“Dad told you to do that a week ago!” Donnie shaked his head disapprovingly.
He chuckled. “That gentleman is how ya stop Mikey from eatin all the pizza.” Smirking as he went to take another bite but stopped as Kaina appeared.
Kaina POV:
“Hey.”
“Mornin…” His voice was as rough as his textured skin. She couldn’t help but blush, she only hoped he wouldn’t see it.
His eyes locked with hers, like two magnets that couldn’t be pulled apart. It only made her blush more. “Hi…” Her voice felt small and frail, why was he making her so nervous.
“How are you doing today Kaina?” She turned to look at Don, needing a relief from Raphael’s heart throbbing gaze.
“I-I-I’m not sure…this is all so new…but exciting! But new…” Did those words even make any sense? Fuck she could hardly even speak because of him.
“That makes sense. Do you mind if I run a check up on you…later?”
She had to remind herself that he was Doctor Stockman, he could actually be trusted. “That’s fine…but Donnie no needles please.”
Before Donnie could respond Leo straightened. “Well it’s good to see you up Kaina, but ninjas rise early.” 
“Well I was actually up early…but I was a little nervous to come out.” Leo seemed to act like such a jerk at times.
“Back off Leo! Someone just gets out of a horrible situation and the first thing you do is nag her!” She smiled to herself, it had been a long time since someone had been so nice to her.
She watched as his bulky body purposefully bumped passed his brother in blue. “Why don’t ya come eat. We got pizza, but I think Donnie ordered some other stuff if you’d like to try it” She nodded, smiling up at him.
Raphael POV:
He gestures her to sit on the couch, as he turns to face an annoyed Leo. “Raph I wasn’t lecturing her, I was just letting her know.”
He grunted a laugh sarcastically and rolling his eyes. Not even bothering to whisper like his brother. “Sure…” Leo knew what he was doing, but he always had to maintain a perfect image.
Kaina POV:
“So this is…pizza?” She asked taking the plate and pulling it into her lap. It certainly smelled good. She picked up a piece of pepperoni, bringing it up to her mouth to test the water.
CRASH! She jumped causing her to drop her bite. “W-What was that?”
“Mikey.” They all said it in unison like they had practiced it every day.
And out he stumbled. “Here’s the lovely lady! I was just working on my ninjitsu, gotta stay sharp.” He started doing tricks with his nunchucks, it was awesome but she could tell he was showing off. “Pretty impressive right?” She couldn’t help but laugh and nod. Mikey sure was a goofball.
Raphael POV:
“Speaking of training after your done eating would you like to train with me? I’ll go easy on you of course.” Well well well, typical Leo underestimating someone’s skills.
“Oh! Uh sure Leo…”
Raphael chuckled, she wasn’t cocky but Leo certainly was. In fact she seemed nervous. He needed to boost her confidence, while simultaneously knocking Leo’s ego down a few pegs. “I bet fifty bucks that she kicks his butt.” If she wasn’t able to he might have to kick his own brother’s ass. But he knew she was capable. Something in his gut told him she had to be. 
He looked at his two younger brothers. Donnie shrugged, “i’m in.” Mikey nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
Before Mikey can say what’s on his mind Leo rolls his eyes. “No you perv, you are not going next Mikey! Guys this for training, not a game.”
“Well boys Leo’s starting to sound like a chicken to me, but I could’ve sworn he was a turtle!” Raph flapped his arms like wings and made chicken noises. He smirked as he heard her sweet laugh. Little giggles that sounded like music to his ears. 
Leo side in frustration. “Fine we’ll do it your way Raph, but if I win you have to start respecting me more, I am your leader after all.”
He clenched his jaw, but he decided it was worth the risk. “Fine by me.”
Kaina POV:
As the two brothers argue she focuses her attention back to her know cold pizza. It still smelled fine and she wasn’t picky so she ate some. Oh. My. God. It was fucking delicious! all her life she was forced to eat the bare minimum for experimental success. She never thought she would eat something so heavenly, so cheesy, so saucy, so yummy. It tasted like home, but was new at the same time.
Mikey leaned over. “It’s good right?” She nodded swallowed and grinned. “Yes, very much so…do you…do you have anymore? They never feed us this much and it definitely wasn’t this tasty!”
“Listen Kaina, you’ll never have to deal with that here.”
“Well Donnie that is if Mikey eat everything.” Raphael laughed.
“Hey! You eat up stuff too!” The youngest turtle retorted, throwing punches at his brother.
“Hey let’s not fight…By the way…I’m sorry for almost hurting your friend. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. If you say they’re a friend I’ll trust you.” The boys nodded. She stuffed the last bite of pizza down and she was ready.
Raphael POV:
Raphael stared as she got in her ready stance. It made him sad he was not up there instead of Leo. Fighting could be intimate, not sexual, but intimate. But he knew he didn’t want to hurt her. Not that she couldn’t kick his ass, but the thought of him even giving her a paper cut, scared him.
“Ready?” Leo said in his own stance.
With a determination and grit in her eyes Raphael could tell she was. “Yes.”
It started in a flash. They circled each other. Leo whipped out his swords and she…she…where was she…?
Kaina POV:
“Woah!” One of the other brothers exclaimed.
Even though she had the advantage right now she knew she couldn’t get cocky. “Where’d she go?” She reappeared as quick as she had vanished and did a move known as Meia Lua de Compasso. Her foot kicking Leo down hard. Enough to knock the wind out of him for awhile.
Raphael POV:
Could she be anymore badass? Raphael never thought turning invisible could also be a turn on but it was. Knowing that his brothers where all there though he pushed it out of his mind. It would not happen. It could not. She did not feel the same and she never would. Or at least that’s what he thought. He followed his brother up to the mat.
Leo groaned in pain holding his head down. “So big bro where’s our fifty bucks?” She laughed again at his comment and he smiled at her. “You did amazing out there Kaina!”
“Thanks Raphael!” He blushed hoping none of his brothers or her could see it. He had to remind himself again that nothing would happen. But when he looked back up at her…she was…Was she was blushing too…?

Next partner for the au: OPHELIA
I’ve posted this design before but it was a sketch so…
Ophelia is 34 when she dies
She is 7’0
She goes by She/her (transfem)
Ophelia is bisexual (feminine people leaning)
She is the beautiful wife to Raphala, married for 2 years before Raph died (sad)
She has Raph’s bandana in her hair and one of Donnie’s robotic legs.
She is an angel mutant, tried to kick the bucket but got bit by an oozesquito before she could breathe her last breath. Ophelia has the ability to regenerate her body back to health, however, it costs her energy. That’s why she has a robotic leg as she was exhausted and could only make it so the stub didn’t bleed out :) (same for the eye)
After Raphala died, she slowly stopped sleeping enough, her exhaustion began to catch up with her so Leo put her to the side as back up. One day her team were called out. She hadn’t slept in days so she had no energy, and when she was injured badly, Ophelia died from exhaustion.
