Follow the Leader. Mutant Melee.

Don: It was morning, he had been curled up beside Raphael sleeping. And stretches, not quiet awake but up- it was about the time they woke for practice an he was thus programmed for it - he yawns first things first - coffee... And blearily checking on the downed brother he was satisfied for the moment Raph was sleeping weel and okay and leaves the infirmary - blinking looking about he made out his brother moving past him to get something and grunted out a hi - and April! his face split into a grin - Mikko was also there still asleep and the grin widens... wait were where the little turtles. He missed them in his look towards April.

[Bookmark] Kids: lol

[Bookmark] Kids: Ee promises she will probably warn Leo that girl talk will happen

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Kids Boys had been following Leo - chirping for him - then... then they spied don ! the one that found them! and with excited loud - very loud strang calls three of the four boys dashed away taclking the tall turtle in purple huging where every they landed on him, legs, body - face ... Crimson hung back a little, shyer - but his tail wagged none the less and he watched the pile on, clearly wanting to join in...

[Bookmark] Kids: hehehe Gold is a face grabber! poor Don

[Bookmark] Kids "Hahahaha hahahaa." Elena doubled over hooting and snorting in the most unlady like way watching the pile on.

[Bookmark] Erica: If ee had not closed the door now she might also find that hilarious -

[Bookmark] Erica A small grin towards April and she answered the nose touch with one of her own - a little nervous, she and April were friends in school but they travelled in different circles. Neither not really close to anyone. And Erica now understood why in April's case. Well aside Casey - Erica knew of the guy, but didn't know him that well. But April had close friends here. And This might close the gap between herself and the red haired girl. It was a exciting prospect she guessed to know she might have a best friend. She closes the door to prevent kiddies from coming back in though with food and Don to be around she doubted it and slowly eases herself back into the inch or so of water left in the tub - stretching then falling limp in ther knees draped casually over the edges, the few bubbles her stretching had fluffed about dribbling over her. Mmmm knees spred and all exposed she was extremely relaxed... maybe thinking a bit naughtily what a sight she must be in here for her sweet turtle in blue when he got back with the mop.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo found the mop and bucket right away. After grabbing both items, he headed back to the bathroom, before spotting Don getting piled on by the little turtles. He couldn't keep a grin off his face as his poor brother struggled underneath the pile of wagging-tail turtles. Taking a small detour to make sure Don was okay, he set the cleaning items down against the wall of the bathroom before assisting his brother. "Good morning, Donnie." Then he addressed the small mob with a chuckled and proceeded to pick the little ones up, setting them down off to the side, finally offering his hand down to Don. "Uh, sorry about that, Don."

[Bookmark] April: hehehe damn chatzy back!

[Bookmark] Leonardo: wb

[Bookmark] April: ty!

[Bookmark] April:

[Bookmark] Kids Gold did not want to let go of donnie! he squished the Don's face as tight as he could and it took all of Leo's negociation skills to make him let go! but he was finally with his brothers and they giggled. Crimson still hanging back a little.

[Bookmark] Kids Elena hurried over. 'Mr. TatllTurtle still a bit achy guys got to be careful!" she giggles grabbing Crimsons hand and dragging him closer too.

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: "Ahhh!" had been his first response! and doooooown he went a pile of toddlers on him! Ahh! what to do?! these were not brothers he could shove off! Then - "Leo! oh thank goodness.' He sighs in relief finally face free too he checks his snout to make sure it was still there and normal, a grin at his brother. 'Nah don't be sorry Leo - it's ... I'm okay - a bit shell shocked but okay." He chuckles taking the offered hand and standing. "How are you? Erica said you were tired last night, she tucked us in for you." He rubbs his cheeks - yep still there... uh oh a face grabber he eyes gold - but found he could not be worried about it. Some time today he would have to give Raph and the boys a proper look over.

[Bookmark] April Sniggering and following Elena April smiles watching the brothers. "Yeah she tucked me and Shen in too." Pointing to the older woman still asleep under her throw on the long couch of the main room.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo smiled when Don was back on his feet. "I'm fine. I just needed some sleep," he told his brother, doing his own look-over of his brother to make sure he was okay. "Uh, other than what just happened, how are you feeling?"

[Bookmark] April "Annnd might be in need of some cloths from me... mmm or we can duck up to a shelter to find some for her and Elena." She adds watching the brothers - still amused by the turtle tackle. 'Little guys are happy to see you Don."

[Bookmark] Kids boys wanted to get closer crowding around Leo and Don's legs. Looking up at them, their excitment bubbling - of course all the boys caught sight of the others last night but they played with Leo this morning - and now donnie was up! so of course they were excited, nuzzling and hugging big turtle legs.

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: He pats random heads and smiles at Leo, 'i... feel pretty good - considering, I know I was tied and shocked last night... but today feel good. Thanks to her." a ruffle tothe little golden curls. "Glad your alright you had us worried, even if she said you were fine just tied...." and he blushed a little, the bubble bath smell not quiet disguising his brothers mates scent, or the faint lingering ordour of sex

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Leonardo: This Leo isn't aware of bathing with lemons...yet.

[Bookmark] April joined the chat 21 days ago

[Bookmark] Kids (April) joined the chat 21 days ago

[Bookmark] Kids: Lol not yet

[Bookmark] Erica (Kids) joined the chat 21 days ago

[Bookmark] Erica: Bwhahah maybe Don can say something that gets them thinking about... Scent killers

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo glanced down at the clinginess of the little turtles to his leg and he smiled down at them. Then he looked up at Don. "I'm glad to hear that. You had us all worried, too. How is Raph?"

[Bookmark] Leonardo It was the inevitable question that Leo had been wanting to ask since last night.

[Bookmark] Kids: Dawww!

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: "yeah sorry about that I was really out of it huh?" Don ruds another little head watching them, Crimson he noted hugged Leo most but he guessed the lil guy was a bit injured from being ignored, he would make it up to him laters. "Raph was so sore he was over emotional last night, understandably upset by the injury and the events... But you know I think you and dad healed the worst of it so he is recovering." he assures Leo, "maybe some more healing hands tomorrow or tonight will help it more."

[Bookmark] Kids: hah had to find the posts in my email found them

oooh good to hear that Don." a sigh of relief and she grins touching little heads, "I'll put on the coffee pot and some pizza for these guys for breakfast." she tells Leo and Don leaving them to bro chat for a moment. Smiling at the news it sounded like Raph was recovering well.

[Bookmark] April: Better

[Bookmark] Leonardo And this was the news Leo had been waiting for. It was both good news and bad news, but overall, his and Splinter's efforts did some good. At the point that Leo had to retire to the bedroom, Raph wasn't officially out of the woods yet. And he still may not be, but at least things were better. He nodded to Don, lightly patting Crimson's head whom was still wrapped around his leg. "Good. And we will." He would just mentally prepare himself this next time so he wouldn't be so drained afterwards.

[Bookmark] Leonardo "Thanks, April," Leo adds as their human friend goes to get breakfast going for the little ones.


Don: a goofy grin after April, and a glance towards Mikko again, oh boy he did not want to deal with the messed up emotions for either of them right now. He smiles at Leo "thanks, the faster we get up and be healthy the better... These boys won't be without some way for whom ever created them to track them, those people may already have traced the signal, will need you and Raph strong enough to battle if needed. These kids be worth money no doubt." more to them now they knew of their existence. He waits until April was out of ear shot, "daaaamn bro so jealous, you and Erice... You know..." blushing, oooh so wanting to know but could not do bro congrats and talk in front of toddlers!

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: or the girls sister!

[Bookmark] Kids: lol!

[Bookmark] Kids Crimson gave a light churr, the boys not wanting to let go, quiet happy to soak up this attention. But Elena squeaked and tugged on Cyan, "come on! Come on! Food! April make food!" and he reluctantly followed , the brothers slowly disengaging to follow Cyan as he chirped for them!

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo knew all of this and nodded. "Yeah." He sighed heavily. It was something they all would have to worry about from now on. But on their end, they had to do everything in their power to protect their loved ones. Don's comment about being jealous made Leo also blush. "I know. She's perfect." Of course, Leo didn't know exactly that Don was referring to the sex he and Erica had...more than once!. Leo just thought Don was jealous that they were together - and maybe did something.

[Bookmark] Leonardo:

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: he glances about watching the kids, "I can check them with MetalHeads scanner after breakfast, get some bruise cream on them, let's hope we got a lucky break and no one is looking for them yet." he grins and nudges his brother, "perfect huh? Daaang you lucky son of a ratman... can smell... You know..." still not sure he should say it glancing again to be doubly sure little ear holes and ears were indeed out of range! More so the ear holes they had better hearing!

[Bookmark] Kids: lol!

[Bookmark] April she was carefully sitting the boys in a corner, figuring sitting at the bench was a bit unstable for them on stools and all, the microwave humming, a ding and she drew out the steaming pizza she had cut into pieces leaving it to cool as she fills and puts on the coffee pot and the kettle. Feeling a bit of a grump that damned girl Mikkowas not here to help with the four totts and Elena, not so much Ee, she had done the bath time with them.

Leo nodded. "Yeah, me too." And then he blushed brightly, eyes wide. "Wh-what?!" He kept his voice down so he didn't alarm anyone by the current conversation. "S-sorry." Now he just wanted to get back to the bathroom. He glanced at the mop over by the door. "I should really get back in there to help Erica clean up. They boys got water all over the floor from the bath." Then, without waiting for a response, Leo headed in the direction of the bathroom once more, eager not to get engaged in that conversation right now.

[Bookmark] April: Lol!

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: chuckling a bit but sorry he brought it up, but not... Because Leo had to know that normal washing would not remove that smell from him!

[Bookmark] Kids: Don: he smiles and heads into the kitchen with April and the kids.


(( Leo back to the bathroom! : https://maskedmayhem.forumotion.com/t99-follow-the-leader-kid-free-washing#442 ))

And leaned on the door frame watching for a moment, Mikko had problems but she had been great with the little ones and helped them last night escape, kept most her cool as far as he knew. And still he half wished April had found the boys with him last night instead. A sigh - his feelings for the two were going to be a mess he knew it. So his mind turned from focusing on the woman he'd loved for ever and watches the little turtles. In every way they were so.... familiar. A little blue Leo - stand of ish little red Raph, there was himself examining the crust of a piece of pizza all a purple color. And Gold energetic and excitable. a itty Gold Mikey. He recalled disappointing the little red fellow last night and sighed he should make it up to him. And he could not watch no more stepping into the kitchen he approaches. "Need a heand April?" A winning smile for her - he could not help it even with a newish warmish crushy like feeling for Mikko April he still loved.


Oh GOD! she muffles a mumbled moooooan by biting her lips - oh loooord she could freaking feel it all! the wash - and not the first! of love, joy.... pleasures! fromt he bathrrom !! curse her gift, curse them two!

[Bookmark] April it was not the first wave, when they had left them - she had had to stuff her head in the freezer to cool off - then hold the fridge door open longer than necessary - focus intently.... so very much she almost missed Gold climbing ontop of Cyan to reach the beach and anything he could find - she had shivered and panted righting the boys and her voice shook when she told them they could not to that! she had gasped cutting the pizza bits up more for them - and almost collasped against the microwave!

[Bookmark] April Don's voice startled her now and she yelps - straightening on knees that felt shivery and grins at him sheepishly - oh man it was lucky he could not read what was on her mind! She holds out the plat. "Uh sure um I just gave em piece each... mmmmm for now." clearing her throat trying to avoid his brown avoids, man she was glad she wore her hir down in the morning and it covered her burning cheeks

[Bookmark] April: lol

[Bookmark] April: curse you Leo and Ee

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Leo: Uh, for the record, I did know know she could feel things like that. O.o

[Bookmark] Leonardo: didn't*

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: "Just sit guys - maaan you guys act like you not seen a kitchen before - dis is where mums... and sometimes dads... my sis or GranGran makes food to eat!" she tells the boys - she was constantly pulling them all back to sit - that is until the pizza got here. Violet was staring at his piece and then holds it out to her pointing at a piece of pineapple. "Ih!" He points again, "ih ih ih!" She looks at it and points too. "Pineapple... tis Piiiineaaaaapppppple." she draws the word out.

[Bookmark] Kids Violet: He saw Don and waved - beaming - like his brothers at once Chirp loud for their big turtle, glad to see him, more so than Crimson whom though he chirped shuffled back a bit chewing on his piece. Violet though like the little half yellow chunk on his piece and wanting to know what it was waved it under Elena's nose pointing - watching her mouth intently when she tells him it was pineapple... what ever that was. "Piiiii nnnmmnnn eeee Aaaapppull - pull pull1 pull pullpull!" He plays happy now picking it off to chew slowly. Toes wriggling in joy!


lol April will spill to Ee - Ee will probably tell Leo

[Bookmark] Kids:

[Bookmark] Kids: April&Ee: *giggles*

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Leo: O.o *blush!*

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Leo: Sorry, April.

[Bookmark] Kids Gold&Cyan&Crimson: Crimson hung back after chirping avoiding Don's eyes mostly liking the crunchy part of the crust. Cyan and Gold had pouted getting caught out by April but listened to her and Elena - though it was hard, the little leader was intrigued so many new sights and sound sand the dinging of the microwave made him stare hard at it - and after chirping for Don tail wagging his gaze snapped back to it and he stares - making sure the humming dinging thing did not come near his brothers. It stayed where it was... he wags his tail - job done chewing happily on his pizza bit. Gold fell back on his shell with his giggling licking lick lick lick -

his smile faded a little, was April upset about Mikko last night? he reaches for the plate - he heard the chirping and glances around to the little ones a big smile, "Hey you lot - wow you look better elena." Oh thank goodness, he had felt so terrible about the little girl being so sick and here she was, she looked much better. His gut twisted a little cause the little red fellow was not looking at him as much as April but he bends and reaches slowly rubbing the little red head hoping it would help plate balanced and - then noting it was hovering over Gold lifts it higher chuckling at the boys antics. He glances back and catchs sight of April's warmed cheeks. Straightens slowly. "Ah you look flushed - was the pizza too hot coming from the microwave or you getting a fever?" He asks of course at once worried.


Gold: Oo pizza "Pissa issa issa!" He giggles eagerly reaching for the plate - then pouting when it went higher out of his reach - a little growl pouncing for it! and landing with a little skin that took him to Don's foot! here he giggles and nuzzles it flopping onto his shell.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Kids Crimson: OO - and he blushed a little looking up from under the big hand rubbing his head, reluctant to churr but he did and was more enthusiastic in eating his crust when Don drew back - giggling at his brother of Gold with his Violet and Cyan brothers.

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: "Hhehehehehehe you guys are silly." Elena giggles now - beaming up at Mr. TallTurtle, "Mr. Turtle fixed me!" she informs gleefully, "Can we have some more!"

[Bookmark] Kids: kids

[Bookmark] April: April: *maybe a little bit of a devious grin of her own*

[Bookmark] April Oh no! - what to say? when pleasures were boiling over? "I i i - ooooh - don - no no I'm fine it's just um... um..." Oh he had said the microwave right? yeah! "its just - yeessth - the steam from the microwave! yeah just that! I swear." Oh no she was panting a little - damn it maybe one of her first lessons for this gift was learnin to shut it off?! And even so she was glad the little gold one was there giggling at him.


Well - he was just stepping closer - and now his cheeks flushed - oh maaaaaan - he had never smelled that scent from April before?! now he knew what it was that made her cheeks flush and he he was about to stagger back a little, "Um yes yes - uh maybe you should go bathroom and rinse in cold what - might be light light... scolding fromt he steam you know?" He offeres voice clouded - oh no don't churr - dont churr - oh no! oh no oh on - her scent was strong!

[Bookmark] Don CHUUUUUUUURRRRRR!

[Bookmark] Don oh man hopefully she would think he was answering the little red fellow! oh please let her think he was just churring for Crimson! He hears Elena and turns to her keeping his now Gold trapped foot on the groun, "Okay sure... Gold sit back with the others and have some more." He reaches down glad for the excuse to not stare at pril cause if he glanced down and saw her arousal had made little peaks in her shirt he would be suggesting he go bathroom first! He grabs the little guys shell - shifting him back to his brothers and rubbing his little hed then hands a new piece to each child.

[Bookmark] Don:

[Bookmark] Don: Don: oh yeah this aint awkward at all - nope *snarky sarcasm*

[Bookmark] Erica: lool

[Bookmark] Erica: poor Don and April

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: "- thanks.... you big people acting weird." she says innocently. Why were big people always so weird?! she giggles and takes her piece with a cheery "Tanks Mr. Tallturtle!" hungrily biting into it and giggling at the eagerness of the little guys crowding in for their second piece.

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan: He made sure to get the next bit - he first! he grins up at Don - then growls as Gold tried to grab the entire plate making his Gold brother eeep and snuffle out a soft noise tucking his tail and giving big Gold eyes look hugging his new piece of pizza. Crimson moved out of the corner closer in happy to chew. Violet now knew pineapple leans over to Elena and points again at a strip of ham. "Ih ih ih?" eager for a new word to sing song about. ignoring the big people and how weird they were being

[Bookmark] April Don's voice sounded funneh now - and she tries to focus her gift and thoughts feeling - oh no! - could he somehow sense.... wait... smell! she knew the turtles had better senses of smell then humans! oh no! he could smell her! - but she was glad he was trying not to point it out and that he grabbed onto the microwave steam story - nodding and even stepping that way towards the kitchen exit and and - "Wait I can't!' she gasps that where all the feelings were coming from! "Uh it's nothing Elena... just um... microwave steam." But she could not go to the bathroom!



No dont straighten up! He was not going to look - he was helping the kids and gently catching Gold with a hand against his plastron, but maybe a bit surprised the little blue boy growled and hthe mini Mikey seemed to submit. Huh Leo never did that to them. And they certainly did not submit like that - this behaviour for a moment intrigued the flushed and (now tail wagging) Don enough to distract him just a tad before April burst out she could not go to the Bathroom - he blinks and despite his warnings to himself straightens and looks at her. "What? why not?" he asks confused. "It will help." Both of us! she needed to compose herself - before donnie needed to compose himself! because of morning woodiness!


Elena: "You really never seen Ham before - dats ham! ham Violet!" she giggles.

[Bookmark] Kids Violet: Ooooooooh! his entire face lite up and he holds the piece out in excitment - "Ham! ham am amamamamam! Haaaaam!" then squeaked seeing gold was eyeing his piece and stuffed the lot in his gob! making his cheeks bulge.

[Bookmark] April "Cause... cause.... ahhhh! oh christ!" She was looking for an excuse when everything bubbled over - and she was left gripping the bench edge panting - thankfully she darted around it a bit and hoped at least to be hidden from the kids views - it was hard to want to giggle at them and nawwww and yet also be so caught up in sensations not her own - she had lost the battle to distance herself and was taken in the waves like she was caught in a riptide pulling her under and out to the sea! so slumped on the counter panting and just gave up for a moment - hopefully Leo and Ee were done for a moment and she could indeed dart into the bathroom after them and have a cold shower!

[Bookmark] April: lol!

He watched and gulped - ooooh man.... what was going on? GUUULP. And that vision was just too much for him! he felt his tail lengthen - 'Baaaaaaaaaaah! excuse me a moment - maybe twenty minutes!" and putting the plate down dashes from the kitchen at high speed staggering into his room! Oh lord oh lord - just in time too! The beauty of a gasping, flushed April slumping over the bench and the fact his thoughts were plagued as much by Mikko was proving too much! and the morning wood rose - he hoped he didnt startle the children.


She did not noticed donnie depart, she thought she heard something, and might have glimsped a blurr of motion - but - she had moved to the sink and was running the cold spashing her face, finally feeling like the crashing waves were receding leaving a glow- that was not hers! but also hers caused by them1 in the bathroom! she splashes her face wetting her hair and gasping at the chill - but it ws helping and she could feel the heat of her ears and cheek receding slowly, and her pants were resting. "I am sooo sorry - Don?!" huh - maybe it was not just a blur of motion she was straightening now wet and dripping and brushing it back through her hair hand brushing excess from her face and wiping hands on her shirt. Alright she had to be composed - she could see a little gold hand sticking up feeling about - leaving pizza marks on the bench top searching for the plate. "Hey hey hold on guys." She tries to reassure. "Give me a moment and I'll give you another piece each." Boy the kids were gonna finish the rest of the left overs - the bigger people may have to wait until Mikey cooked something else or find their own food.

[Bookmark] Kids they had finished and four boys watched in comfusion as Don tore out of the kitchen Elena her eye brow rose pointed after him, "See big people are weiiiird." as if that explained it all - then sat and rubbed her belly. "I still hungry - as yous?" she asks and recieving nods she pouts and points, "Plates up there.... but I is too short to reach -" she tries... and pouts. Cyan mmmm's looking at the problem then grunts and nuzzles Crimson - Elena was a little frustrated at this point she did not know what they were not normal saying to each other! but soon Crimson gruffed and got on his hands and knees and Violet hurried forward with Cyan to hold gold's shell as he climbed up and reeeaaached hand searching for the plate edge - until Aprils voice made them all squeak and he toppled back harmlessly into his blue and purple brother, Crimson kneeling up to laugh at the pile of brothers.

Well his own stroking and release happened a lot faster than usual - and he lay there panting regretful of the mess he was getting on himself but fuck! finally feeling the 'turtle' within recede back to some dark corner at the very least content for the moment. But he was soooo not going back in the kitchen yet, her scent would still be strong in their until others joined and mingled it with their own. He did not know or understand what was going on but right now he needed to just - release until he was safely tucked back in his tail before leaving his room. Oh and clean up the evidence of his cum part.


Okay she was sort of composed. and went around the bench again giggling at the sight that greeted her a bundle of blue, gold and purple glittering boys - a laughing red and Elena. "Hah - boys - serves yous right for being in a rush come on sit back up and I'll give yous the rest and... warm up more." whom knew little bellies could fit so much in them?! she hopes Donw as okay and she did not creep him out of scare him off - she hoped Leo and Ee would join her soon maybe then she could check on don and use it as an excuse to not blush bright red around them! She took up the plate waiting for kids to seat themselves back down before handing out new pieces each her own belly rumbling reminding her of her own normal hunger that had been silenced in the stormy sea of the other.

[Bookmark] Don he was not yet there - having to swap hands though - and finaaly there! - yes... trembling finally felt his.... cock beging to deflat enough he was slowly slooowly able to draw the thing back into his tail muttering about the theory of relativity to stop April - hot and flushed and panting - Mikko barely dressed and flirting with him.... flashing back through his mind - filling his thoughts forcibly with equations and whiteboards full of them ... ! anything that was not female! female metalhead - NO no just metalhead. ... yeah

[Bookmark] Don "And it's not even spring time!"

[Bookmark] Don: hehehe dude is so confused

[Bookmark] Kids: dawww poor Don

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Okay back. Sorry about that.


"Hehehehe we is hungry." Elena chuckles but sitting back and accepting the next piece munching and gleeful for it.

[Bookmark] Kids Gold&Cyan&Crimson&Violet: scrambled back to sit and eagerly take their pieces. Elena huffs. "Hey you guys gotta say Thank you! -" she bossily tells them. And they stare at her new pieces in hand confused. "Come on to April - say Thank you! like this... thank you April." and gestures when the boys continue to stare uncomprehending... then -

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan: was this important? "Fanks ou." he says still not sure what Elena thought was so important about it - Crimson mumbled a fanks and Violet eager to learn new words as ever beamed. "Thank yoooup thank yoooup!" waving his piece. Gold just giggled and added, "Tanks tanks tanks!' mingling with his purple brothers attempts.

[Bookmark] April A chuckle. "Yous are welcome, and good girl Elena teaching them and recalling manners." She assures the young girl smiling and wsnot so worried for Don now - her cheeks had blushed, again and anew - the emotional tide of Leo and Erica had receded enough she was able to feel other, Sleeping Raph, Stirring Splinter, and sleeping still Mikey. And Mikko lost in drug sick and sleep and Don - oh Don - dmn it she chuckes a little bashfully perhaps it was best she did not go rushing off to him.

[Bookmark] Don ahhhhhhh yes much better his mind was blissfully busy with his usual noise, not thoughts of girls and sex and turtliness rising from under the depths to claim them. it was back to the usual madness of equations, of all the odd gadgetty and techy jobs to be done round the lair - back on checking Raph and the little boys and then the others. Splinter and Mikey seemed unhurt from collecting Raph but still a brief cheke wouldn't hurt and then Leo whom seemed okay when he went back to the bathroom - ooooh! his eyes snapped open as it just clicked. April could feel - OOOOOH! oh oh dear now he understood... and was not sure if he should be amused. or sorry for her... or glad all that activity definitely hinted his big brother was recovered from his exhaustion the night before.


"Better -must aslways say please and thank you!" Elena grins and then looks proudly at April's praise. "I try to always remember manners! Especially around tea party time!" she makes sure April knew this - serious face and ll. Most serious face.

[Bookmark] Kids This part of the chatter was lost on the little fellows and they sort of just look between each other shrugging. Violet though as he pointed at the ham and muttered the word, and the pineapple and cheese and sauce practiced the new words thank you and please.... happy happy watching Elena and April talk. MamaMikko had been right so many here, liked them! he was a happy happy little guy right now. his brothers were two they all sat their feet out toes wriggling in joy and tails waggling.

[Bookmark] April "Sqqqquuuueee yeth yes you do and you did well... taught Mr. Turtle to hold his pinkie out drinking tea." April laughs and takes out her tphone to capture the little ones in image sitting their in a group of five eating happily - feeling the joy from the little guys. And oddly from the lovers a touch of guilt. Don's emotions changed he had just realized something - she did not know what it was she was an empath not a mind reader! but for now there was no more overwhelming waves of pleasure so she was abe to push them aside and focus of cutting more slices of pizza up and ticking it in the microwave to warm.


Hah - well.... he decided he was pleased, would still give Leo a brief once over as family doctor but was reasonably reassured already the big brother was very, very well. He begins to pull his body together and clean his mess. There was nothign to do about smell but this kind of self pleasuring the brothers were used to and would hopefully ignore completely - after all they were teens and sometimes it was unavoidable. He checks his room - especilly the roof as they could shoot a load a good distance and once reassured he had no cum left anywhere it should not be took the bandana he used to clean his mess out to what counted as their laundry - the repaired washing machine was a big one and usually only used for their blankets and other bedding and towels, and a relatively new thing - he stuff them all in with the latest load to be washed and set them going, slooowly trekking back towards the kitchen hoping others would join them.

[Bookmark] Don: Splinter: was indeed stirring - glancing seeing at least two sons were still resting and pleased for that, his ears caught faint sounds of movement.so he guessed the kids, Donatello... maybe one or two of the girls were up and knew by habit somewhere Leonardo was also up.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: LOL


elena puffed her little chest out. 'Yes I did he was learned so fast!" she says proudly

[Bookmark] Kids Boys: though all caught sight of donnie and begin to squeak and chirp in excitment waving bits of pizza at him and legs kicked - Gold now stuffing his peice in his gob and cheeks bulging he ignores Cyan's sounds getting to his feet to rush over and hop up and down around don's legs pleased he was back!

[Bookmark] April "Leo does learn quick, you can call him Leo you don't have to call him Mr. Turtle you know." April giggles - then nawwws the little fellows were excited to see Don again - she on the other hand blushed more furiously and um focused on waiting to hand out more pieces of pizza to hungry little bellies.

[Bookmark] April: lol yeah none went higher than Erica's head

[Bookmark] Don: LOL Don says he once got it on his room's cieling fan - did not know turned it on and well.... mess everywhere!

[Bookmark] Don:

[Bookmark] Don He did not expect the enthusiastic greeting a second time and could not help it - even grinning and blushing sheepishly at April as she turned away he looked down at Gold and reached down to scoop him up. "Hey sorry guys - um just had to fix something -" oh yeah he did! BIG time! "yous being good for April? yous can try waking um Mikko soon." He tells them coming a bit closer to the kitchen but not going in yet

[Bookmark] Don: Splinter: *Took his time, usually he was up with Leonardo first thing and they were already practicing. but things for a few morning might be disrupted by the arrival of girls and ... little turtles - and Raphael being so hurt so he did not fuss about this morning and just let himself for once enjoy a bit of a lie in bside Michelangelo and Raphael. He could here the little turtles but was assured he was not need to help them just yet. He was already thinking of the little boys as part of the larger family already.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: LOL!

Hey1 thought three other boys - leaping to their feet and eagerly tackling Don's feet keen for hugs too!

[Bookmark] Kids Elena nods - then giggles madly wtching the boys. "Thats nnot good manners.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Do they still smell like Leo spunk?

[Bookmark] April It was hard to ignore there was warmth coming fromthe bathroom and despite the previous awkward and not some embarassment of seeing Don again and now understanding they both had come apart as a result of transferred and shared moment she could not help be a little envious and elated by it too. Chuckling she watches the boys tackle Don remained of a time Leo, Raph and Mikey had tackled Don too - and this was much the same, only a mini me don was part of the rush and it was cute - she quickly snaps more pictures and joins elena in laughing -oh splinter was awake!


"Wait - oh no no ah1" He went down! and might have flailed a bit before recalling he could unintentionally hurt of the little guys doing that and instead sighed and took it - grabbing them closer and hugging chuckling - glad Crimson was not holding back too. "Hey hey now now plenty of Don to go around nd when my brothers are back plenty of them too - only be careful with Raph okay he is sore." He hugs the little bodies amused. Was this what Splinter had to put up with - and yet it did not feel bad... it felt good. He was unable not to breath int he mingled smells of pizza and his... what? well now maybe he was curious how some of Leo's scent got there... espeically that scent! but guessed he would have to wait when he and Leo were moving off to see their brothers and father in the infirmary to ask. away from children and girls ears!

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Leonardo: That...will be an awkward conversation.

[Bookmark] Kids: very

[Bookmark] Don: Donnie is anticipating it will be yep

[Bookmark] Don: but it might allow for asking if knocking up a human girl is even possible;)

[Bookmark] Don: for enquiring minds

[Bookmark] Kids nuzzle nuzzle - chuuuurrrring the little fellows were only to happy to smear pizza all over don in the hugs and tails wagged madly.

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: ewwwwww!" she points at this as gold leaves a trail of combined snot and pizza on Don's plastron

[Bookmark] Kids: lol

[Bookmark] April her own nose wrinkled - kids were soooo gross sometimes! - but she goes to find the tissue box and brings it over to don and the boys. "So whats next once the little fellows are fed? they ate all the pizza." She adds sheepishly to Don.


oh now that was just too much sharing and Don had to fight a bit of a gag moment- bleh! "Thanks." He says though and felt his heart was gonna either burst from his chest cause it was swelling with all the feels or bounce out his throat cause a blushy April had come over with tissues and he had mentioned Mikko name - man whom knew this girl liking thing was so hard ?! "Oh and thanks April -" taking tissue to wipe up the mess. And then the boys nose.


Gold paid to intention tot he ewwws he sits up and violet then Crimson, Cyan tilts his head. "We... hug odders like you?" He asks curious would they be okay too? he wonders what if the other big turtles didn't like it... well no the other in bath time was nice too -

[Bookmark] April "Awww of course - but like don says not Raph right now he is sore - unless you be careful doing it." She adds chuckling Raph was a grump but he would feel left out if the little guys were tackling his brothers and not him. She rubs little heads and waits for Dons answer.

He was about to answer and now gasped a little covering his eyes and looking away - "I sw nothing!" he shouts which probably would hint he saw something, then he blinked and rushed out to April, "Um... well Leo probably wants to check on the others so ... um I'll bring the little guys with us and do a ful check up - Dad and Leo, the boys, Mikey and Raph when they wake... I need dna from the boys too to begin unravelling where they came from - something in their teeth if there is a loose enough baby one might hint where they were raised and I can narrow clues down to find out more about them..." He shrugs a little babbling a bit to cover his slight awkwardness nuzling and hugging boys still and smiling, "Yes better hug them all - just yes please slow and soft with Raphael he got big owies... ike yous." He could see bumps and bruises and new they needed a little cream on thos, maybe antibiotics too from being in the trash when he found them, dna will tell him if they needed other vaccinations.

[Bookmark] Don: hehehe Don says yep saaaaw nothing :p

[Bookmark] Erica "yo ooo whoooa!" Erica squeaked then laughed an arm slipping about his shoulders the other hand resting against plastron - snorting more with laughter when she heard Don's voice call out and she blushed a little as they reached his room and she was on the bed, "Why do I think he sw something?" she jokes slowly standing and then eagerly reaching to help her mate dress rethinking her ther question. "You really like it?" beaming searching for the bandana to help him put back in its place last ignoring his sheet her cloths for just a moment.

[Bookmark] April And she was nodding - and trying to fight her laughter. "Oh don yu are a terrible liar.' She teases and reches down to lightly pull the boys off. "So you will take blood and how will teeth help you narrow down where they came from?" She asks confused by that really and maybe avoiding blush too she saw bare butt!

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: spotted Leo and Erica and squeled in joy hurrying after them but waiting on this side of the closed door. "Sissy and Mr. turtle sitting in the tree - K I SS - and talking to bees!" she sing songs teasingly so getting words wrong.

[Bookmark] Kids Boys: this made them think a bit and they let April pluck them off don one at a time and stand them back on their feet Cyan gives a nod after a bit of thought serious face and pats his plastron. "Okay we do - we do." He agrees.

[Bookmark] Don: LOOL talkin to bees - not heard that version befor e:P

[Bookmark] Leonardo: LOL

[Bookmark] Erica: Elena thinks talking to bees is important

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo heard Don and then Elena as they were getting dressed. Or as he was getting dressed since Erica began helping him. He smiled at her and nodded. "I do. Very much. What does it mean, exactly?" He was curious to know. Once he was completely dressed, Leo searched around for the sheet Erica had on. He found it, but he decided to get her a clean one instead. And, like she did with him, he helped her to put it in place, kissing her when finished.

[Bookmark] Erica Erica chuckles listening to Elena, "I think she wants us to get her honey sometime - she loves honey... on toast... cereal... dinner -" Erica grins and shows him how to help her fold the sheet and then wrap it like a tie around skirt int he shape of a dress it covered her at least and looked vaguely like cloths - though she had no undies underneath. "Well you are Leo - Leo means lion and a turtle and The lion turtle, also called Ancient One by the spirits,[1] is a chimerical hybrid of a lion and a turtle and the largest known animal in the world. In the era of Raava, lion turtles populated the Spirit Wilds, where they served as protectors of mankind by housing human cities on their backs.[2] As indicated by the symbols on their foreheads, lion turtles showed affinity for one of the four bending arts and possessed the ability to grant individuals with the power to control the specific element... you are a turtle, a lion, protector, and I think your element would be water if you had one." She explains doing a twirl, "Am I presentable?"

[Bookmark] April Donnie chuckles rubbing little heads too - he was seeing them as sons, oh boy - and the little girl - hah "talk to bees?" He could not imagine the underlying message there like her sister did of course and was just confused, but impressed. 'At least it ryhmed." He chuckles and free of boys stood slowly. "Thanks April." Blushing again trying to avoid too much eye contact and yet as usual unable to look away too long and not give her his usual goofy grin. "I can isotopes in the teeth can be compared to areas they are found and narrow down at least where the boys were living. I don't think it would be too far from the dump where I found them so if I can narrow it down my brothers and I and you if you want can come with us and see why they were made... I don't think heir clones exactly." He explains. "DNA might help me see that exactly."

[Bookmark] April: lmao :S

[Bookmark] April: welcome -

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo had his own theory about what that name meant, but Erica's explanation confirmed it. Yes, he liked it very much. "I love it." That was his answer to both her explanation about the lion-turtle and her new outfit. "You're just beautiful," he told her, cupping her cheek and gave her a kiss to her lips. "Well, I suppose we should get out there now." He smiled and took her hand, leading her out of the room to...who knows what kind of chaos would greet them on the other side of the door.


"Oh... man that sound like lots of lab time." April chuckles - any excuse for Don to be in his lab working away. She too was avoiding too much eye contact at the moment and waited for Leo and Erica with Don now to join them and there they were. "Hey you two..." oh she blushed darker and looked away - trying to compose herself. "The... the kids have eaten."

[Bookmark] Kids Four happy squeaks and seeing anotheer turtle they rushed at him and like they had Don tackled!

[Bookmark] Kids: there Chaos!

[Bookmark] Kids Elena: She giggled waiting for her Turtle and Sister to come out - impatiently little arms crossed and a pout face going - then there they were and - eeeeh she had to hop aside as a horde of turtle boys rushed there way and now she rolled about giggling.

[Bookmark] Erica She loved him saying that - "just for you...' beautiful for him, only. and gld he loved the name it was her special name for her mate and she gave his hand a squeeze ready for the - "Ah!" she too eeped and hopped aside as the horde tackled Leo. Then giggled with her sister.

[Bookmark] Don "Hahaha yeah get him boys!" don cheers - to avoid blushing hard and avoiding his brothers gaze like April was and he elbows her now, "Get it together." a gently elbow of course and stuff, Leo did not need to know that April had... experienced and in response he Don had lost his head. Nope no need know.Nope. He moves closer and grins down at them all. "The little guys are so full ofpizza I am surprised they have not all turned into mini Mikey's"

[Bookmark] Don oh that was a scary thought, four mini mikes

[Bookmark] Don: ... very scary

[Bookmark] Don: Splinter: a chuckle he could guess and imagine in his mind what was going on from the sounds of the toddlers excitment and the rushing feet.

[Bookmark] Don:

[Bookmark] Leonardo Unlike Don, Leo was prepared for his 'little attackers' and crouched down to give them all hugs. "Miss me?" Of course that was obvious. Then he chuckled and gently noogied each head before looking up at April and Don. "Thank you." He smiled gratefully at both of them before turning his attention back to the kids. "Did you like your pizza?"

Leo chuckled. "Have I mentioned before how much I like that nickname you gave me?" And he really did. After the second towel was hung up to dry, Leo scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the room. He didn't look to see if anyone was around this time, though. He didn't see what the point was. Erica was fine with her own nakedness and Leo wasn't exposed anymore. He quickly made his way back to the bedroom and only put her down once they reached the bed. Then he picked up his gear and began putting it on one piece at a time - like he had done for many, many years.

[Bookmark] Kids Gold: He was bouncing, then grumped and shoved Violet off pouty face... nodding nodding at Leo then - as if he had learned the words tooo ... but he had not and had no idea."An Weeeeese an Fanks!" he adds gesturing to Elena and April.

[Bookmark] Kids: Elena: :I taught them that Mr. Turtle!" Elena adds excited as the little guys.

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan&Crimson: more bumped against each other for space and sniff at Leo curiously. "yes it was nummy." Cyan nods seriously as Crimson nods nods - not one to talk much.

[Bookmark] April "dwww looks like they did." She grins and chuckles and having felt and heard don's warning finally looked at Leo and Erica in their faces and eyes - hoping neither noticed her weird behaviour for a few moment, don was right neither needed to know.

[Bookmark] Erica Erica had noted but she was not going to ask with all the kids around - figuring she and Leo might have been a little noisey towards the end, certainly not having a clue what was really going on. She chuckles and watches the little fellows excitedly try to tell Leo all about the moments that passed for them without him. "eeeee you kids stop being so cute." And she did not care if she got a growl again she grabs Crimson and snugs him. Crimson does not growl but he flails a little. then huffs and accepts it.

[Bookmark] Erica:

[Bookmark] Erica: totally a Raph that one

[Bookmark] Don sniggering but a wee bit put out Don grins, "Daamn it Leo how'd you know? they totally plowed me over..." He mock grumps and grins. "Thank April she did it all I - had to fix something in my room briefly." He manages not to blush or look sheepish - or so he thought so in that moment of praising April. "there is no pizza left but we should probably see our brothers before eating anyways." He tells Leo. And just encase his brother asked told him what he just told April moments ago about finding out more about the boys. "They... I don't think they are clones persay." He offers his suspciion to his brother.

[Bookmark] Kids: agreed

[Bookmark] Kids: ooops wrong room was agreeing more for fearless leader

[Bookmark] Don: lool

[Bookmark] Leonardo: LOL

[Bookmark] Don: hate when that happens

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo grinned at Don, shrugging. "I could hear them on the other side of the door, Donnie." As if that wasn't obvious enough considering how they enjoy tackling him, anyway. "I just prepared myself better this time." Then he smiled at the little boys. "That's great." Then he looked at Elena and bowed his head to her, smiling. "Very good, Elena. I'm very proud of you - of all of you." Finally he let the boys go before trying to get to his feet again, glancing at Donnie. "Oh? What did you find out?"

[Bookmark] Don: like before I could not work out where the Don bit had gone lol

[Bookmark] Leonardo: I posted the Leo video in the Chattiness conversation if you wanna check it out, MS.

[Bookmark] Don "Well nothing yet but I think I cn get a little saliva from them and you guys and will compared it to our own - I think.... their not clones I think their... someone used dna from use to creat them - and we left plenty of blood in battles with the foot - I just not sure of what else is used.... between humans and us it is possible but it would need a girl previous mutated and retro mutated or exposed to lots of mutation in minisle amonths for it to work... but I don't think the other dna contributor was human." He babbles a bit and knew it so tries to rein it in. In essence he had just said the boys were technically their sons. But he felt his hunch was right.

[Bookmark] Don: Awesome will do.

[Bookmark] Don "You and April coming along Erica? I mean - if you want to see our brothers first Leo." Don adds.

[Bookmark] Erica Erica was watching don and April - she could not read Don as well as she could Leo - but she knew something was up with April and chuckles a little leaning to kiss Leo's cheek gently encouraging Elena over to the boys. "No no this is for brothers maybe I and April will hng here.... I will um cook something for breakfast for us bigger ones -" she grins stepping towards Arpil intending to take the girl with her whether the boyss came or went to see their brothers or not.

[Bookmark] April uh oh Erica had noted something! April knew it - but in a way was glad cause she was... under all the ummmm and awkward, curious. "Yeah boil the kettle and coffee maker for you guys and stuff." April grins watching Erica move her sister and put Crimson back with his brother than approach her. The girls grinned at each other.

[Bookmark] Don: okay girls grinning like that makes Don think uh oh

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Kids the kids crowded closer elena looking confused. "Do I need to go too?" she asks a small hand creeping upwards to find Leo's and hold it - well his thumb. The boys were not sure of anything Don said but they sensed it would be like when they were taken by the men in white and they were used to that. Though a bit nervous Cyan was more serious."Like Sciemsis? you owies like sciemsiss?" He asks Leo and Don blinking such a little Leo look of total seriousness on his face - then little confusion cause it made April and Erica nawwwwwwww like a pair of - girls - loudly. He shrugs and looks back up at the big turtles.

Mikko was finally waking up. her eyes opened but her vision was fuzzy. her pillow was covered in sweat as was her hair. Slowly she pushed herself up and stumbled out of the tent, taking everything down as she did so and letting out a yelp.

Laying on her back with everything on top of her, only her head and arms free from the covers. She reached up to grab her bag and drag it to her.

Once the bag was close enough she used one hand to unzip the bag and start to blindly dig in the main pocket looking for a bottle of pills. Any pills. Just something to make her feel better. Pills weren't drugs right? They didn't count.

Where were the kids? Fuck! This was too tiring. She rested her arm for a few moments before continuing to dig around for pills again.

Just stood there stunned at his brother. Okay, he definitely wasn't expecting that. They were...family?! But he would deal with that later. He nodded to Don and slowly stood up. "Yes. I would like to check on Raph." He still couldn't believe what Don said, but he wouldn't question it. If anyone could figure out how these little guys came to be, it would be Donatello. Now Leo would just be even more protective of them - just like the rest of his family.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Leo uses a rag or towel. Or at least did. Maybe he won't have to resort to that anymore.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Of course, Leo expels more with Erica than he does by himself, so he can get away with just a rag when it was just him doing it.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Leo also chooses to do it in the shower whenever he can. Cleanup is easy and he takes more showers than the others because of his extra training.

[Bookmark] Donnie: bwhahhaa she draws it out of him

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Mm-hmm

[Bookmark] Donnie Don knew that look from Leo and he shrugs. "I.... I have a feeling so Leo - yes... I can't even guess what their mother is right now - or mothers... but their our..." He lowers his voice glancing back at the girls. "Sons... and I have a feeling whom ever took our DNA might have had something to do with the colors ... at least that makes it easy to tell whom is whoms..." He kept his voice just for Leo - he rightly deciphered the look his brother gave him. "But I need dna to confirm everything first - then I'll let you all know for certain." though he glanced back at the little purple guy - yep that was definitely his -

[Bookmark] April: April: bet she looooves that

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan was still a bit put out and growled rushing ahead of Leo and Don and hopping on the spot waving his arms - hands on hips and the most fierce serious look he could muster - he tries his questions again - he was scared he did not want to be hurt like how the scientist did it - ""Like Sciemsis? you owies like sciemsiss?!!" yelling the question - his brothers hung back crowding around Elena on instinct watching their blue brother stand out on his own facing the bigger turtles.

[Bookmark] Kids: dawwww

[Bookmark] Erica Erica and April were not making progress away from the guys - Erica maybe did not want to rush away though she knew Leo needed this. Needed to see his brothers. And the little one, the blue boy was making it harder being such a lil blue bandana wearing turtle! she chuckles watching still having closed in on April and caught her hand squeeing it.

[Bookmark] April April holds Erica's hand and lifts it giggling, "Awwwwwwww he being cute!" she squeeeeees - most of the rest of the talk between Leo and Don had been lost to both girls but something was bothering the little blue guy.

[Bookmark] April: girls are being... girls

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo's attention went to his 'son'. "Uh, no Cyan. Donatello will never hurt you, I promise." Then he smiled at his brother. "He's a good scientist." He patted Don's shoulder and then his look turned serious again. "Is he still in the dojo, Don?"

[Bookmark] Donnie A laugh nd Don grins teasing shoving Leo's shoulder a little. 'Well no need for a DNA test." He teases and reaches down rubbing the little blue head. "Leo is right - I wont hurt yous. I promise and make those owies feel better." He reassures looking at Leo and nodding. "Yeah he, Mikey and Sensei stayed there last night. Raph was a little upset." don stops Leo for going further for a moment. A glance back at the two young woman - a sigh and half a dreamy look April was beuaitufl standing there beside Erica - uh! he shakes his head and focus back on Leo, "He was blaming himself for... well you know going out and getting hurt, we tried to reassure him, maybe you could do it better than us? I know even Erica said something, but it was soft and Icould not catch it." He looks around and offers hands for the little boys and Elena. "Come on - I promise to be gentle and might even have lollipops somewhere for yous."

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan relaxed and watched, worried... but he relented and gave a hoooing soft sound for his brothers, they chirped rushing forward as Don spoke - well none of them but Elena had any idea what a lollipop was so that announcment was met with only her YAY! and he giggles - she had followed the call over with the three boys to Cyan and now hops on the spot yaying. "Lillopop Lollipop ooooh loloolipop!" she sings grabbing Leo's hand and all but trying to hurry the lot of them that way by attempting to drag him. mostly just walking of spot but she didn't notice. "Bye sissy - gonna get a lolly pop!" She waves to Erica.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Why does she want Leo?

[Bookmark] Erica: lol cause he's Mr. Turtle - and that about as far as her logic goes

[Bookmark] Leonardo: But Leo isn't going to Don's lab. lol

Erica A wave back and Eric grins... glancing sidewys at April. "I want to ask to borrow cloths - but I know you would not have enough for me and Shen and Mikki and I don't know how much she has in her bag. So... we ladies should head up and find some to wear. I need something for tonight - Leo and I are going back to my place. I need to see what is left."

[Bookmark] Erica: lol yeah she missed that :p

[Bookmark] April This caught April's attention and she hums a little. "We will... there are a few places we could try and maybe... Mikko might know more we could find cloths and stuff. Need the rest of us for this trip?" She asks and begins to draw the girl with her if she did not they would stand there watching the guys and the kids all morning - or until they disappeared.

[Bookmark] April: hehehe just hand her to Don

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo nodded. "I'll try." Although, if it wasn't for Raph's hotheaded decision to go seeking out vengeance, he wouldn't even be in this mess. Raph nearly died last night because of his rash decisions! This angered Leo, but he also knew Raph didn't need a lecture like that right now. For now, he would just reassure his brother that everything was okay. Suddenly he felt a tug on his hand and he looked down at the little girl, smiling. "Uh, okay..." and then he was promptly dragged towards Don's lab. "Uhhhh, Elena? Where are we going?" Of course he knew, but he was wondering why Elena was dragging him there since he had somewhere else he needed to be right now.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: He's going along for now.

[Bookmark] Donnie: lol dawww

[Bookmark] Donnie "I know - it annoyed me too Leo - but... he he... was crying!" and that ought to be something Raph rarely cried. Even as a boy like the ones now content to follow them. Their sounds, their actions intrigued Donnie to no end. they acted like them, but there was something else too. He watches Leo and Elena and follows chuckling then because the girl probably hd no real idea where she was going lead the way. "this way little lady and gentleturtles." A look back at the two older girls - they seemed to be getting along. a glance over towards where Mikko was. His heart bounced and he sighed for like the hundreth time wondering when his 'love' life became to complicated... meh. "I promise no owies - not even for the teeth I will be very gentle."

[Bookmark] Kids If her eyes could have they would have gone into giant rounds of happy as she beamed up and lead Leo after Don once he was ahead - she had been dragging in no known direction. "To - the lollipops Mr. turtle, the lollipops!" she cheers as though they were preparing to storm some castle and pillage it for said lollipops. The boys trotted along with her clearly confused but Gold hops between steps and cheers, "the Woowwiepoooos!"

[Bookmark] Kids:

[Bookmark] Erica nodding Erica follows - reluctant - So was April for a moment snapping more pictures -

[Bookmark] April on he tphone and giggling. " I am going to run out of space on this thing soon." And then they were in the kitchen and she ooks about beginning to put on Don's coffee pot, Master splinter and Leos tea pot. "Come here I'll show you how Master splinter and Leo like their tea - surprise him you know?" she gestures for the girl and then pouts. "Probably will show Mikko Don's too - though I don't want to." she grumps a little.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo allowed Elena to pull him to Don's lab, but before he went in, he wanted to check on his other brothers and sensei. That was where he was needed right now. He wanted to know for himself that everyone was okay. He still felt bad that he couldn't make the final checks of the night like he usually did. He just...used up so much energy trying to save both Raph and Elena, he had no more to even get out of bed again that night.

[Bookmark] Donnie don smiles and once at the lab door he opens it and stands back, "All righto kids inside - Elena your going to have to let Leo go for now - he has to do things and you need Dr. don care.' He encourages not sure if it would work and if the little girl would fre Leo and come with him and the little turtles into the lab. He would have to be extra vigilante - he suddenly had a thought this was going to be like having five Mikey's loose in his lab! oh lord - he gulps but focuses and offers his hand to the girl. "Come on we should get started then yous can see Mikko and Mikey and Raph and Master Splinter..." He reels off

[Bookmark] April: hehehe the girls are out of this scene for the moment - so just the guys and kids

[Bookmark] Kids Elena humphs a bit but grabs Don's offered hand and releases Leo from her grasp. "Oh okay!" she gives in and lets Don lead her into his lab the lollypop loot forgotten in a "WHOOOOAAAAAA" that was echoed by for little boys as they each looked up first at Leo - brushed by his kness and Don's following their little blue leader and the girl into the lab - only to stop with her and all gaze about. "Sooo manny shinyyy things!" Elena squeals loudly.

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan gasps and points, "Waser! bafff!" well the icky glowy stuff sure looked like a bath!

[Bookmark] Kids: lol he found the alge pond

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol I keep forgetting about that.

[Bookmark] Donnie: Donnie gonna be like no worries I got this Leo - then shout oh no put that down!

[Bookmark] Donnie: and stop sucking on Timothy's tow!

[Bookmark] Donnie: toe!*

[Bookmark] Leonardo Well, he was free, but then he felt a pang of guilt leaving all these kids with just Donnie. Especially with all the eyes on Don's 'shiny things'. With a slightly amused smile and a sigh, he followed the kids into the lab. "Maybe it would be better if the adult/kid ratio was a bit more balanced." He grinned at Don and then saw where Cyan was pointing. "Uh, no. We don't swim in that."

[Bookmark] Leonardo: LOL

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Yeah, Leo thought better of it.

[Bookmark] Kids And here was Cyan skidding over tail wagging and looking in, he pouts and looks back at Leo poised on the edge to eager jump in. 'Why?" - behind him Crimson rushed to stand in front of metahead and ... then climb him.

[Bookmark] Kids: lol

[Bookmark] Kids Elena ran for the big white ball and was shoving it trying to make it rool off the desk to her - standing there arms open as it wobbled!

[Bookmark] Kids Gold and Violet ran for the patrol buggie that was on the lab floor being reassembled. and accidently knocked the grappling hook - it shot out and hit the blue boy poised on the edge of the pond and he tumbled in with a splash!

[Bookmark] Kids: good idea Leo

[Bookmark] Donnie "No not shiny - wait - no - ahhh!" and it was immediate chaso - "Leo oh damn thanks!" he yells running for the kraang orb and catching it before the thing fell off and crushed the little girl. He and his brothers could hold it eaily but she would find it too heavy. "Not a ball -" He moves to place it higher - yelping when Crimson somehow made MetalHead shoot his hand and the kid and hand went whizzing around the lab - "Ahhhhh come back!" He chases it trying to catch the boy!

[Bookmark] Donnie: pfffft

[Bookmark] Leonardo "Cyan!" Leo was quick to respond and jumped into the pond to retrieve his 'son'. So he would be needing another shower after this. He didn't want to smell like sewage in front of Erica, after all. Okay, so this definitely wasn't working. After grabbing the boy and setting him up on the ledge of the pool, Leo checked him over carefully. "Are you okay?"

[Bookmark] Donnie: dawwww Ee says nice save - she'd snog him stink and all

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Dawwww

[Bookmark] Kids Poooout, "Hey - why can't play with shiny ball?" Elena ask then - "Ohhhhh" blinking at the grappling pack and ... the hooked end spun out slamming into the roof and then the pack went after it Elena dangling from it - giggling - just as Don and Crimson went zooming underneath back to Metal Head. Grabbing the boy by the scruff of his neck - elena giggles and then yelps letting go of the pack dropping -

[Bookmark] Kids: yes she would

[Bookmark] Donnie 'Ahha!" He had one! - his arm shot out and caught the girl on reflex. "HAH!" two!

[Bookmark] Kids Gold and Violet separated, Gold climbing up the jar thing and - licking it - tongue getting stuck to the side - he pulls

[Bookmark] Kids Violet found Don's laptop and had just opened it - leaning precariously on the wheelie chair.

[Bookmark] Kids Cyn spluttered a little - then grinned and nodded. "I okay - me good!" he says licking his cheek a little were some algae was.

[Bookmark] Donnie "How the hell did dad do this alon?!" he calls to Leo grabbing at violet before the boy fell from the seat. Three! "this is crazy!"

[Bookmark] Donnie:

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo made a small face when Cyan licked the algae. Yeah, he used to eat the stuff a while back, but it seemed like ages ago now. He saw the chaos unfold around him and he shrugged, climbing out of the pool himself. "I don't know, Donnie. But we have to figure out something and fast." He saw Don had three of the kids and Leo had Cyan, but...where was the fifth one? "Uhhhh, Donnie? Where is Gold?" He started looking around. If this was supposed to be Mikey's 'son' then he was the one that needed to be watched the closest. And right now, he was the one missing.

[Bookmark] Donnie Done moves closer to Leo and sets down the three he had but kept their hands held in one of his for now - just encase. "ummm...." He looks about and to the little ones. "Help us find your brother guys." looking for the speck of gold. "figures it would be Mikey's one...' He mumbles to himself and Leo.

[Bookmark] Donnie: lool My Mikeys say HEY!

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan watches Leo and climbs to his feet beside him - then hearing Don mid full body shake - he finishes off by wagging his tail to shake drips off and straightens tilting his head back and making a looooud chirp - so loud it took his entire body to throw the sound.

[Bookmark] Kids: Crimson - caught and a hand held he listens and he too throws back his head - a chirp echoing Cyans. Violet next.

[Bookmark] Kids Gold - tried to answer - he really did and when the sound was a strangled sort of noise he freaked a little and struggled harder to get free plastron and his stubby claws and toes clicking on the frozen glass - might not have been the noise he wanted to make but it was certainly tell them where he was.

[Bookmark] Kids: hehehehe

[Bookmark] Leonardo Well, Leo was sure glad for Cyan at that moment. Considering they all had that small communication, that would make things a lot easier. He smiled down at the boy and then went over to where he heard the answer back. "Cyan, go over with your brothers and stay there," Leo ordered as he walked away from the blue boy. "The rest of you, just stand there quietly while we find Gold."

[Bookmark] Donnie "Yes please, little ones just - no shinies, just stay there." Don says hesitating in letting the little hands go - man he had just thought it would be like five Mikeys loose in his lab and it was so - but in this moment the little ones looked as intent as they were in finding the little golden turtle - and he heard noises. "Ah closer your way Leo." He says toward the storage space and the cold room where Timothy was waiting for don to figure out how to make him normal again.

[Bookmark] Kids Elena heard the sounds to and with the boys vaguely pointed that way, "Okay Mr. Tallturtle but... but it is sooo much fun and so many shinies." She says

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan nods and scampers back to his brothers - they chirped again - Gold heard and his wriggles to get loose became more urgent. His clattering and clinking against the glass louder.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Suddenly Leo heard it and a moment later he spotted him. "Oh, no..." He rushed over to Timothy and looked up at Gold. "I found him, Donnie. I-uh...don't think he'll be going anywhere for a while." Then he pointed up to him for Don. "Any ideas?"

[Bookmark] Donnie Don scooted that way and sighed - relieved. "Hah thank goodness - man why did it have to do a Mikey." He sighs and then nods. "Sure some water - and he should come off but he might be a bit tongue sore for a bit." He chuckles and gestures. "you wanna climb up or I? one should be down here to catch him... damn he can climb for a short toddler." He hurries away to find some water. "If your going up might want to calm him down - he will hurt himself if he pulls harder."

[Bookmark] Kids They were told to stay- they stood for once just watching the little fellows beginning to get a little antsy themselves and Cyans next chirp had a definite edge of urgency to it for Gold specifically to answer him -not understanding the little guy could not - and it only made Gold try harder - claws clinking and scraping.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo sighed and started climbing up. It certainly wasn't as easy for him because he didn't have claws like the toddlers did. Once he was on top, he started speaking softly to Gold to calm him down. "We'll get you loose soon, okay?"

[Bookmark] Kids Gold pulled nd pulled then his eyes widened looking at Leo - and he stopped fighting... for a moment though trembled when Cyan chirp and chirped getting more insistent onyl cause Gold was out of sight and not answering! His snout wriggles as he waites...

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo also heard the chirp. "It's alright, Cyan. I have him," he told the frantic toddler, taking Gold into his arms and waits for Don's return.

[Bookmark] Donnie 'Okay got some Leo." Don rushes back a old water bottle of his in hand and stands beneath, "hold on.' He grin and climbed up to them - 'Whoa slippery - okay one moment - you got him - good." He carefully tips the bottle pouring the water slowlly using fingers to help loosen the tongue and the hand that got stuck. "Odd noises.... hehe that kid is a worrywart." maybe a light tease to Leo here as he works until the tot was free of the icy surface.

[Bookmark] Kids Gold held still eyes wide still watching both bigger turtles and feeling better, the water felt nice on his slightly blued tongue.

[Bookmark] Kids His next chirp died and he waited anxious - his red and purple brothers waiting equally as anxious - all staying because when they went to move elena bossily remind them NO they were told to stay!

[Bookmark] Kids: lol

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo smirked a little at Don for the jab, knowing it was teasing Leo, also. Yes, he worried, but with good reason. All of the brothers had their faults and it was Leo's job to keep them in line. Even Leo had some faults, but he was the most responsible one. It was his job, after all, as leader. "Ha-ha..." When Gold was freed, he held the tot in his arms. "Let's try not to lick random objects again, okay?"

[Bookmark] Donnie don chuckles and pokes out his tongue at Leo, "Well you will go grey shell all that worrying bro.' He smiles nd washes the little tongue - looking at the blue. 'There is not ... frost bite - he's okay. oooh ow" He sisghs first in relief then gasps a little his thumb had brushed a tooth and baby 'bunt' looking tooth had cut a little - just a little paper cut with a drip of blood... "Ow those are sharp." but he could not stay there and get curious or he and Leo would freeze with the tot to tim... and so glad he leaps down first putting the bottle down and holding his arms up for Leo to pass the golden boy down. "ready bro - wow we are going to have to break some news to dad soon.... once I confirm it of course."

[Bookmark] Donnie: lol

[Bookmark] Kids Gold's tongue hanging out but he was hapy happy to be free and the first thing he did was - get his tongue washed! he makes funny faces and then squirms head falling back and the whole of him in the effort to finally make a chirp for his brothers. There was an explosion of happy chirps from where the rest were, and then Elena's voice, "No no! stay Leo and Don said STAY!"

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo just rolled his eyes and held Gold while Don tended to him then passed him down to Don once he was down on the ground again. Then it was Leo's turn, and he was glad to be away from the frozen monster. It was cold up there. "Yeah. I'm not sure how he will take it." On one hand, it wasn't exactly their fault if someone got a hold of their DNA. In a battle, anything was possible. Injuries happened, after all. Then the other outcome is Splinter would welcome his grandchildren with open arms - which already seemed to be the case without the extra detail that these children were very possibly his actual grandchildren. Leo, himself, was still trying to absorb that fact.

"Well... keep it between us until I double check yeah?" Don smiles and hugs the little Mikey. "And you Leo is right no more licking random things." Which the kid would probably not pay no attention to, He carefully puts him down and as the little Gold fellow scampers off chirping eagerly for his brothers Don hold up his thumb to check it as he would follow Leo out, " Looks like we may have to kid proof the lair in either case. And then there is Mikko she immediatedly adopted tthem as her own - that is something to keep an eye on... and it was kinda cool she did so, their not even her species." He grins a bit. Watching his brother. "How are you handling the news bro? I know... its shocking I am the one going to do the tests and I am... just not ... I don't know - how to feel about it. you know?" back into where the kids where. Staying where they left them. Phew.

[Bookmark] Kids "See Mr. Turtle and Mr. TallTurtle got him!" Elena cheers giggling as Crimson, Cyan and Violet rushed to their Gold bro Cyan all but shoving him over and nuzzling him- sniffing at the hand that had been stuck to the glas, he was not the only one they were nuzzling and happy churring and tails wagged. "You sound like a pile of puppies!" Elena teases.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] Donnie: *sniggers*

[Bookmark] Donnie: Don promises to try making this bit quick so they cn both go to their brothers leaving the kids with the girls

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo went back to the kids with Don. At his brother's question, he just shrugged. "I'm still trying to get it to sink in. I guess it was fate that you found them the other night, huh?" Then he grinned and went over to the children. "Okay, everyone get in a single line and Don will check you one at a time. I'll be right here." 'So you won't get into any more trouble,' he added silently.

[Bookmark] Donnie: lol

[Bookmark] Donnie: good plan

[Bookmark] Kids Elena grins and lines up - but the ittle fellows just stare at Leo confused, what was a line? gold on the bottom of the pile having quiet enjoyed the attentions and getting pouty when they stopped.

[Bookmark] Donnie Don grins, "Definitely, I got my shell handed to me but... but - maybe it was totally worth it you know? Fate... yeah fate." and to think they would not have known about them otherwise. He moves to his booboo box and prepares swabs and a drill with a tiny tiny attachment encase he could not pluck a baby tooth free from a boys jaws. And now he knew to be careful doing so cause if one bit... He returns to Leo and the - not so line kneeling. "Like elena boys - stand beside Elena, and I'll get this done quicker then I originally planned to." He smiles at Leo here a promise to be quick to get back to their brothers and father. He begins checking Elena and - "She's doing very well... guess healing hands worked on her great." He gives her a pop and lightly pushes her toward Leo moving to the next kid.

[Bookmark] Kids they all stood beside Elena at don's words so he had to pluck Cyan out of the lot and show him to open his mouth fter rubbing bruise cream on the brusies and taking pulse and temp. Cyan was used to these bits - the swab not - he had lifted an arm waiting for pointy owies to dig into his skin - but it never came. Done swabbed the inside of his mouth and then used tweezers to pull at his teeth gently - one slid free and -

[Bookmark] Donnie Don aughs, "Want this tooth back Leo to give him toothfairy gifts?"He ask Leo moving onto Crimson. then Violet.... finally Gold adding aloe gel to the chilled hand, double checking the tongue.

[Bookmark] Kids: hehehe Leo and Don almost on their way to Raph and Splinter!

[Bookmark] Kids: and Mikey

[Bookmark] Leonardo When only Elena got in line, Leo sighed. This wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. Not that any of this had been easy. It was apparent the little turtles had no idea what to do. That's when Don came to the rescue and asked the boys to copy Elena. Leo was just getting ready to suggest that. After each tot was handed back to him after their check-up, Leo kept them all around him. He was extremely pleased on how well this was going. The little boys had nothing to worry about. Leo smiled at Don's praise about how Leo had helped Elena last night. Needless to say, Leo was happy about that outcome. When Don asked if Leo wanted Cyan's baby tooth. Well, he certainly hadn't thought that far ahead, but he nodded. "Sure, Donnie. Thanks."

[Bookmark] Donnie A wink, "okay I only need to drill a tiny hole in it then you can have it." He grins and looks at the kids double checking his boo boo box for all the items he needed - a new mouth swabber out. "Need a fresh sample from you anyways, with this many I need to also check blood types for emergencies." He told Leo approaching. "Open wide bro - I could give you a pop too." He adds chuckling. "Yep their mother or mothers can't be human... though that is a possibility for us." He chatters waiting for Leo to comply double checking the boys were around them and Elena. "Maybe if we do small sessions of healing hnds on Raph - it will reduce his breaks to fractures only."

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan hugged a Leg of Leo whilst he waited then each brother came over and he would nuzzle and chirp and the boys all opened their mouths to feel the empty gum - Elena giggles. "Now we eat the lollipops." She tells them and show them ripping off her plastic, scrunching it in her hand and sucking hard on her pop. "mmmmm apple!" the boys copied her - Crimson chewing on his pop right through the plastic. Gold eating his plastic. Violet got his out but the plastic stuck to his snout and he ended up in a violent sneezing fit.

[Bookmark] Kids Cyan got his out and was the only one to hold his plastic like Elena - sucking - then his teeth stronger that elenas he bite his and crunched it hard. Tail wagging delighting in the flavor.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo narrowed his eyes at his brother. "Oh, ha-ha. Very funny, Donnie." Then he opened his mouth so Don could get a sample. He wasn't aware that the little turtles (or at least most of them) were having difficulties with the wrappers on their suckers.

[Bookmark] Donnie: lol

[Bookmark] Donnie A snigger and he swabs Leo's mouth - then his own quickly. then licking the insides of his cheeks where he had he nods at Leo. "And thats it - the kids can either come with us to Raph and Mikey - though considering the chaos that happened in here it might be safer they stay with the girls until Mikey and Splinter and Raph are all awake." He adds thoughtfully looking for Leo's thoughts on the matter - eyes widening and reaching to right the little fellows - well there was nothing they could to for Crimson and gold's plastic, hopefully the boys would just poop it out. Violet he plucked the plastic off his snout and chuckled a little. "oh man... you'll have to tell your... girl about." He points at the ittle blue turtle whom was now -

[Bookmark] Kids eating the popstick too crunching it and chewing the white stick into oblivion! Violet happily joining him, Crimson and Gold way ahead half way through theirs. Elena just blinked. "Euuuw guys no not supposed to eat that bit." She squeaks trying to take them but the boys avoided her attempts.

[Bookmark] Kids Each nipping at her pop as she tried - making it smaller! - she pouts.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Dawwww

[Bookmark] Donnie:

[Bookmark] Donnie: extra fibre for diets

[Bookmark] Leonardo:

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo had the answer to that right away. "Let's take them back to the girls." Yeah, they didn't really need a repeat of what happened in the lab. He smiled at the kids then started ushering them towards the door. "Okay, guys. Time to go." Then he turned and looked at Don. "Maybe bring one more of those with you?" he suggested with a warm smile at Elena. He would talk to the boys about sharing later.

[Bookmark] April joined the chat 5 hours ago

[Bookmark] April: Don: "Another pop?" Don was confused he missed what the boys were up to - but did catch Elena's pout and wondered about it. He helps Leo chivved the little horde out of his lad and was careful to close the door behind him boo boo box in hand. "this way shorties - back to the ladies -" and goofy grin growing as they move that way because you know it was April!

[Bookmark] April:

[Bookmark] April "And then - my best firned for the year turns into a bot - a freaking Kraang!" April was describing to Erica the story of what happened to 'classmate' Irma. In great detail. She wanted to ask other things but Erica had oddly recalled the girl and asked... and now here they were and could hear kids coming.

[Bookmark] April: Erica: "Ooooh no way - I thought she was a bit quirky... but a bot?" she would never have pegged it in a hundred years! wow you think ya know a gal! she turns head in the direction of the noise and smiles. Wondering if it was just donnie with them or Leo too - she had a great time with April learning to make his tea -

[Bookmark] April: Elena perked up and pointed at herself when Leo gave her a smile, then at the new lollipop and then at herself again letting her stick go - Gold ate it!

[Bookmark] April: The Boys contentedly moved along Cyan plodding to the front of the little group and all waving when they entered the kitchen.

[Bookmark] April: Erica: A smile. "Hey...." a grin seeing Leo - a nod for Don. "How'd it go guys?"

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo discreetly took the pop from Don and hid it as he entered the kitchen with the little ones. At Erica's question, he shrugged. "About as good as the equivalent of having 4 Mikey's in the same room could go, I guess." Then he smiled at Erica. "I haven't made it to the dojo yet. I decided to help Don with the small horde." He chuckled and glanced down at himself that was still covered in a thin layer of sludge. "We had a few mishaps in there."

[Bookmark] April: Erica: a light chuckle and she moved forward carefully clearing a patch of the grime off his lips and kissing them. "Their just excited." She assures now moving some more off his face. "And I am sure whatever it was you guys more than handled it like pros." She grins and winks. "April was showing me how to make your tea..." a whisper just for him, looking down as Elena joined them.

[Bookmark] April: Don: "Glad he did April - man I have gained a new appreciation and admiration for Sensei in a way I never thought I would." Don huffs, sniffing the air - oooooh coffee! His tail wags but they still had a task before that ambrosia could be had! "The children are all perfectly healthy as far as I can see, a little brusied and maybe a bit congested for Elena but otherwise in good fit health." He beams.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: He didn't get it on his head. About halfway up his plastron maybe. Arms from grabbing the tot...and of course legs. )

[Bookmark] Leonardo: ))

[Bookmark] April "Glad to hear it guys - really really are." April chuckles smiling at Leo and Erica - she herself had a slightly wrinkled nose, ew but her fellow girl didn't seem to mind.

[Bookmark] April: bah will edit that later to be brushing bits off arms

[Bookmark] Leonardo: I think the pool is only normally about three feet deep.

[Bookmark] April: Boys: - they heard - and broke away dashing back to the main room in a stampede of widdle feet.

[Bookmark] April:

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Maybe two feet.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: I dunno. Still might be a bit too deep for a tot.

[Bookmark] April: bwhahaha it might have been

[Bookmark] April: though these little guys do have a turtle advantage to swimming that normal kids

[Bookmark] Leonardo: I can't remember how far under Don was upside down when Metalhead pushed him in there.

[Bookmark] April: but yes still to much for a boy so young whose really never done swimming

[Bookmark] April: lol that was funneh hehehehe

[Bookmark] Leonardo: I know his legs and part of his lower plastron were still visible.

[Bookmark] April: yep

[Bookmark] April: will just edit bits later to wiping some muck off forearms or cupping his cheeks*

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol

[Bookmark] April: cupping his cheeks hehehe not sure she wants to get the stuff on the only clothing she has right now

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Good idea.

[Bookmark] April: cupping his cheeks then;)

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo grinned and returned her kiss. "Oh, really?" He was excited to try it out, but then he saw Elena standing next to them. Since they boys took off on their own, Leo crouched down and held out the lollipop to her, smiling. "Here."

[Bookmark] April: Erica: "Yesss." giggling loving the Leo flavor return and licking her lips a little when he kneels down - watching the exchange. Elena's squeak of delight and her hug to Leo with a great big "Thanks Mr. Turtle!" before she hurried to climb one of the stools to sit at the bench and suck away at her pop before the boys got to it! Erica rubs Leo's head and grins. "Um I take it she was a good girl for Dr. Don?" she chuckles not sure about it all.

[Bookmark] April: Don: He grins and winks at the girl glad to see her happy again. A grin at his brother he had not paid much attention to it as to not draw attention from the little boys but it was good to see the girl finally getting her pop. "mmmm I so want one of those coffees but - after we see dad and Mikey and Raph. Especially Raph." He smiles - he heard the boys rush off so maybe Mikko was awake. And suddenly he was eager to be gone so not to be around if the girls got fiesty again! awwwkward. Especially as he was crushing on one and still madly head over shell for the other!

[Bookmark] April:

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Crushing on one?

[Bookmark] April: lol a little bit on the mikko

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Oooooh

[Bookmark] April: boy should talk to his bro about that

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Girls got feisty before? Only April did because of the connection.

[Bookmark] April: well Mikko did spit all those insults out - not entirly fiestybut it was close

[Bookmark] April: he's just avoiding it

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Dawwww

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Okay, I really should stop for the night. At least we got them back out to the others.

[Bookmark] April: yep - we will probably have to play those bits on sight now - but can go ahead with Leo Ee going to the burnt house laters

[Bookmark] April: and finish BB and tag MS to do some more TSL so plenty left yet

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Yep. Leo needs to visit bros next.

[Bookmark] April: oh and MS says some time you and he should do FVDon and MS calling FvLEo

[Bookmark] April: so that will be fun -

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Is he gonna have to spill like he did with Splinter?

[Bookmark] April: maaaayyyybe hehehe - althought so long without a bro Leo and Don might just spillall anyways

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol Not sure Leo will.

[Bookmark] April: Don will

[Bookmark] April: and he and April will be coming to the farm Leo

[Bookmark] April: hehehe yay!

[Bookmark] Leonardo:


Leo smiled at the little girl then turned to Erica. "She was. Very good. She even taught the boys a few things."

[Bookmark] Erica amused - watching Elena sort of look about expecting the pop eaters to be coming any moment now - and get frustrated she couldn't bite it the way the boys did! Dang it. Chuckling and letting her gaze drift back to Leo fingers dropping to draw in the half dried muck on himls arms - just with fingertips, proud. "Oooh? What kinds of things ?" Watching his eyes. Don and April half forgotten

[Bookmark] Erica: April grins watching them, she could feel the little guys excitements bubbling. Mikko was awake - oh goodie. "Leo I might take the girls, Mikko, Erica. Shen out in a bit - Erica is right I can share some cloths but don't have enough for all. We need to go find some." She tells the leader.

[Bookmark] Erica: Don: "hey that's a good idea... After we have the boys and Elena though - we may be an hour or so with Raph in the

[Bookmark] Erica: Don: dojo so give us time to move him out here - he can't hide in there forever and needs to eat besides." He chuckles he could hear the excited babbling of tots so at least Mikko was up.

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo smiled at Erica. "Well, she was very good at keeping the boys in line...literally. Apparently the little turtles have never stood in line before." He shrugged before glancing at Elena again. "You have a really great little sister. You should be proud." Then he grinned at Erica. "She's so smart and respectful."

Then he nodded when Erica said they needed to go out for a while. "That's fine, but like Donnie said, let's make sure we get Raph out of bed first."

[Bookmark] Erica a grin and a smooch - plus muffled snigger cause that made Elena straighten so much on her stool she almost toppled off over balancing cause she had puffed out her chest in pride. "She is great huh?" Erica giggles, "I happily blame the turtle she is trying to emulate." Nodding at April and the guys, "sure we can wait - sides owe you a tea love." She winks - now she knew how to make em as he liked.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: Oops. That should be when April said...

[Bookmark] Erica: April : grinning April nods, "sure thing Leo - especially as we girl could take a long time up there... might have to search a few boroughs for places like shelters that give cloths... Or mostly unattended donation bins." She hated admitting they may have to do a little theft but it was probably forgivable. Especially as Erica had Elena to find cloths for too.

[Bookmark] Erica: Don: he lost the thread of the talk sniffing that glorious coffee... Mmmm drifting towards the pot .... The coofaholic within moments away from bliss - and like a record being roughly stopped he comes back from addict pull and grins sheepish "uh yes it could take you girls a while... We should hurry then and get Raph comfy -" and away before he stayed to have a coffee... Later he told himself firmly - brother first - sweet elixir later! Moving around the bench away from temptation - ready to follow Leo.

[Bookmark] Erica: Lol coffaholic

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo smiled and nuzzled Erica gently. "Much appreciated - and I know I'll love it," he added, kissing her cheek. "We'll be back as soon as we can." He kissed Erica once more before heading out of the kitchen. Who knew it would take so long to just check on a brother? Things just kept coming up.

[Bookmark] Erica joined the chat 21 hours ago

[Bookmark] Erica: *giggles*

[Bookmark] Erica: still here chatzy:P

[Bookmark] Erica and she all but churred herself eyesclosing at the nuzzles and only ropening at the last kiss watching Leo go - a soft sigh, then she catches Don and April smirking at her and with the most supreme cool... or thats what she'd say it was she moves to check the few cupboards and fridge for soemthing to make the bigger people for breakfast. Smothering a yelped as she didn't want to bring Leo and Don back seeing he had left too now in worry upon opening the freezer what looked like a bowl of ice cream moved! - and "Meeeeowed?"

[Bookmark] Erica:

[Bookmark] Erica: April: Annnnnd she knew that was gonna happen when Erica started exploring so did nothing to prepare her - catching the girl on t phone all but leaping back over the island bench in the middle - stools, sister and all - Hah this was fun. April says casually. "Oh that's IceCreamKitty."

[Bookmark] Erica: Don: He followed Leo and elbowed him. 'Dammmmn you two have it bad bro -" a tease as he glances about noting where the boys were - but did not rush to help Mikko as she looked very happy being squashed and allbut her ears talked right off by little fellows whom both talked and growled and chirps and chattered some more... And they relly needed to get to Raph now - so if she needed a hand she would have to call them back. Shen was still snoozing and she made Don pause a little. "That is another shocker.... told you guys junk yard diving was worth it" he grins. Well last night certainly was.

[Bookmark] Leonardo: lol ICK!

[Bookmark] Erica: hehehe frightened the crap out of Ee

[Bookmark] Leonardo Leo smiled at Don as they made their way to the dojo. "What do you mean, Donnie?" Or course he could guess what he 'had so bad', but Leo was still trying to behave himself while in front of others. And he didn't think he overstepped any boundaries. Leo smiled at Don. "It always is, Donnie." Finally, they were able to make it to the dojo and Leo looked inside first, seeming a little unsure about entering. He felt a bit guilty again that it took so long for him to even check on his brother. He sighed heavily and then finally walked into the dojo and over to his brother who still looked so frail. It was hard to see Raph like this.

[Bookmark] Erica: Don: "De love bro - de loooove." taunting - following Leo inside passing Mikey on the way....

"MamaMisso!" Four voices yell and a thunder of pattering feet and four little boys pounce eagerly on Mikko snuggling, nuzzling - unawares being human even as small as they were they were strong and would be a little heavy -

piling on babbling excitedly all their morning adventures over top of each other.

Finally! Mikko's fingers wrapped around a pill bottle, but just as she was about to pull it out of the bag she heard four little voices call her name. Well. Close to her name. She quickly dropped what she had and pulled her hand from the bag as the tots ganged up on her.

She wrapped her arms around the turtles that were now squishing her. If this is how she was to die, squished by four happy baby turtles then so be it. She snuggled them all and tried to keep up with their morning tale.

It sounds like you guys had quite the adventure! But you were all good boys, right?

Mikey popped up in bed, the smells of breakfast cooking drifting in from the kitchen. If he was able, he would have floated all the way out to the kitchen. However, he had to settle for tip-toeing out of the infirmary so he wouldn't wake Raph up.

"What doth my nose detects? Is that the delectable smells of pizza?" he asked. "Whoever thought of pizza for breakfast is a genius."

He and Leo were passing Mikey and he laughs. "Good luck with that Mikey - I think Erica and April said the kids polished off the last of the pizza... but Erica and April are all over the cooking - um could you come back here with Leo and I - need you for a moment Mikey and also we're catching up and checking Raph." Don calls smiling.

Elena looked up eagerly as Mikey was coming, then looked sheepish sucking on her lollypop from Leo still. "Hey Mr. funturtle Mikey! - yeah sorry we's ate all the pizza..." but sheerful to see him hearing Mr. TallTurtle Donnie calling him back away from them. "Promise sissy will make more!"

Though sad to hear that all the pizza was gone, Mikey's disappointment didn't last long at the sound of the little girl's voice. He smiled and ruffled her golden curls.

"Don't worry about it, little dudette. There'll be plenty more where that came from. And I'm sure if your sissy made it, it was delicious," he said.

Then he heard Donnie call out to him about going to check on Raph. Mikey couldn't help resist giving Elena a good morning hug before hurrying off to catch up with his brothers.

"Hey, Leo," Mikey chimed. "Great to see you up and about this fine day."

He sniffed the air, detecting a scent coming from his brother. It was faint, but it was there. Mikey grinned, but didn't say anything. He would raze his brother about it later, when the girls were out of earshot.

"So, what's up?" Mikey asked. "Besides going to check on Raph?"

Raphael groaned sleepily as he began to wake up. He winced in pain as he stirred. He let out a strained breath, his ribs burning like a raging wildfire. The pain made his head spin. Raphael stayed where he was, eyes closed and willing the room to stop spinning.

So much for trying to get back to sleep, he thought.

He carefully opened his eyes to find Donatello and Michelangelo gone. They must have gone to get breakfast. Raphael attempted to move, but he could almost feel some of his ribs shift. So, he opted to stay where he was and wait for the pain to subside.

This sucks, he thought as he closed his eyes. But, it's your own damn fault.

Maybe he would make another attempt at getting up later. On top of aching from head to toe, he was also starting to get hungry.

"It just keeps on getting better and better," he grumbled.

Her heart rate had not quiet returned to normal and she was just giving April her best mock glare and about to say 'you knew that would happen' in the most accusing indignant tone she could muster when instead she was chuckling, watching Mikey Erica went to assure Mikey the pizza the kids ate had in fact been his from the night before - but let it go for now.

Glad he seemed to get along with Elena.

"I'll make some more." She called after him - then turned her mock glare back to April. "You knew that would happen." she points at the freezer moving back to cupboards and drawing out some items before turning the oven on. Back to fridge for more stuff.


Not pizza per say but pockets instead.


"Come on help me with this alot of us big people to feed. leave some over for lunch for kids."

It sounds like you guys had quite the adventure! But you were all good boys, right?

Cyan, growling to sush his bros so he could tell Mikko everything - was still a mess from having fallen into the algae pool and was quiet happily getting it everywhere all over Mikko and his brothers. Nodding frantically when she asked if they had been good boys, not really getting the question but surely they had?! "Yep yep yep - and erry good! Ee and Eo dave usth baff! wid bubbles we pwayed and Donello gave us pops!" said turtles with Leo was passing and Mikey - it was tempting for all boys to chase and tackle hug the orange clad turtle but they would soon, first Mikko! "Losss Gold in dere for a bit!" He points to Donnie's lab, "But Eo and Donello founds him - and den Donello took toof." He opens his mouth to show her the empty space where a baby tooth had been.

His brothers all copied showing their gummy hole where Don had managed to remove a small loose baby tooth from each boy.

Mikko managed a smile and gave them all another hug. Bubbles and pops and lost tooths! Wow! So much happen this morning. And now you all are going to get your big boy teeth in! You are growing so fast.

Mikko sniffled a bit and rubbed her red eyes.

Did you all have breakfast yet?

Violet answers this time shoving lightly against Cyan as he does so. "Yesm! we is had Piiiineaappull and hammmm and ceeeese and soooossss!" He describes, Gold bumping him as he eagerly adds

"Pissa!"

This made all the little guys cheer - and recalling they were allowed to hug the big turtles, save one - they had to be careful with one they grin nuzzling Mikko again before all chirping and led by Cyan racing at Mikey and glomp tackling him in a wave of little ones as he moves back past to follow Leo and Don. Little tails wagged and they nuzzled him once doooown!

Mikko smiled and her heart just melted at the little purple turtle telling her what they ate in his cute little made up words. Well she knew they were real words, but the way he pronounced everything was adorable! She eagerly nuzzled them all back and then they were running off. She took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Now with the kids gone she went back to her bag. All the stuff was still on top of her and she hadn't bothered to move from the spot she fell at. Her hand found the pill bottle much easier this time and she popped the top open with her thumb then emptied the pills down her throat.

Splinter was still beside Raphael and mostly awake, having listened to most of the noise beyond and hearing the unmistakable sound of the little turtles once more tackling one of the boys - quiet possibly Michelangelo this time having recalled there had been tackles previously. Possibly Leonardo and Donatello whom had left the room previously but was coming back with Leonardo whom was now there beside himself and Raphael.

"How are you and your lady friend this morning Leonardo?" he asks his eyes still closed and soft so as not to over ride the words of reassurance for Raphael.

Laughing April nods. "Yeah I did know and watching your reaction was priceless." she chuckles and moves around to first watch what Erica was doing in making these pizza pockets.

A bit of a twist on the guys favorite food, just like pizza gioza.

She heard the boys and frowned a little, so Mikko was awake. But at least for some part of today the two of them was going to have to hide the hatchette as it was because Shen, Erica and Elena needed a trip above ground to find clothing. And a girl part of the Dp's or at least hung around them she might know where they could find cloths. And probably food - the guys would need a little extra in their cupboards to feed extra mouths.

April was willing to put differences aside for those reasons, though judging the insults last night she highly doubted the woman could do it.

One way to find out - whenever she felt like joining them.

In the mean time April watched then asked Erica to show her - and set about helping... and being beside Erica now she leans over and whispers, " soooo... you and Leo wasted little time becoming close... teasing and a little envious - and still not entirely sure she wished to amitt her powers to Erica, or what she had felt ...

But girl talk!

She had awoken to the sounds of the little boys tackling Mikko and lain there under her throw watched the little fellows and the woman they had attached to talk - sitting up a little to watch amused and with a chuckle as they rushed off to tackle the friendly youuth turtle Michelangelo.

Now fully sitting up she frowned a little at Mikko swallowing pills, "Morning, the boys are noisy." Decided not to talk about the drug taking.

Mikko didn't even realize someone else was around! So when shen spoke it made her heart leap into her throat! Mikko looked over and rubbed her eyes of sleep and in an attempt to see the woman clearer. She gave a nod and tossed the empty pill bottle back in her bag. The pills where a random assortment of narcotics so she had no idea what she actually took.

Were you always right there? Her words were a bit slurred but understandable. She then reached out her arm in a failed attempt to touch the woman. her arm, feeling heavy fell back to the floor. Yer real right? I'm not just dreaming up some hot woman?

Raphael poked his head out from under the blankets when he felt a hand wrap around his. He opened his eyes and looked up to see Leonardo standing by the bed, blue eyes worried. Raphael tried to give his brother a reassuring smile, but it just came out as a wince of pain.

A small whimper escaped him and he curled into a ball, trying to relieve some of the pain. It brought tears to his eyes and again he wished that he was under the control of Shredder. At least then he wouldn't be able to feel anything.

"I'm sorry," Raphael whispered, his voice hoarse with pain.

Annnd the horde of little feet raced at them - on instinct Donatello hoisted the boo boo box high - then laughed, watching in amusement as four eager little turtles tackled Mikey.

"Hahaha ! they have that team work thing down pat." He cheers amused watching - waiting to see if Mikey needed a hand extracting himself out from under the eager happy waggy tails and snuzzling snouts.

The amusement half spurred on by the sheer adorableness of the scene - whipping out his tphone as he thought this and snapping a couple of quick pictures. "Need a hand Mikey?" He asks, behind him somewhere Leo had gone into the room - and he heard voice and smiled - in a couple of moments he would check on Raph's vitals and administer light pain med to get him through breakfast, probably more afterwards and hopefully set up some sessions of Healing hands with Splinter and Leo to help Raphael become pain free sooner.

He really loathed seeing his brother so down and in such pain. It had been like this soon much when Leo had been out for months at the farm house, and then came to - he was slow, and hurting for a long time. If only Healing Hands had been something they knew then.

Lollipop finished and sucking on the end of the little plastic stick where a tiny tiny bit of pop was still lodged she watches April and Erica giggling leaning forward on the stool her legs waving a bit and her eyes keenly following her sisters movements -

"She and Mr. Turtle wrestled!" she adds so helpfully to April's question.

Mikey heard them before he saw them. One minute he was standing up, talking to his brothers, the next he was flat on his back with four little turtles on top of him. They were heavy for being so small.

"Little help, Dee?" Mikey asked, reaching his hand up towards his purple masked brother.

"Certainly not dreaming - I was with you, the boys and Don last night. So very real... though curious you think someone my age is hot... flattering." Shen says trying to keep disapproval out of her voice. Clearly not a woman whom should declare herself a mother of one let alone four small, very unique boys.

She moves off the cushioned bench that ran right around this pit int he floor and folded her throw - then reached for bits of the boys tenting to do the same and untangle the woman. "You planning on slowing or beginning to change that habit?" She points towards the bag where there was probably more pills. Curious, on that matter, it would be a huge decision and a hard one.

thank goodness the woman was real. You are very pretty. Mikko insisted. I would date you. She watched as Tang started to pick things up and felt that she should be helping. Once she was untangled, she made an attempted to stand on her feet. It took a few tries but finally she was standing in a tank top and small, lacy, black thong.

I'm quitting. Cold turkey. Those were just...Um...

Mikko's eyes started to fill with tears as she tried to think of an excuse as to why she just poured an unknown number of narcotics down her throat. It was like she was on the verge of a panic attack.

a few tears became many as she broke down crying in her hands.

I...Am...Trying so...Much... She cried. Want to be...A...good mom...And win...Over...Donnie...

She finally looked up at the older lady. And said something she had never admitted before to anyone. Ever.

I need...Help...

A right flush over her cheeks, "Well I am very flattered then, thank you."

then the confession, Shen laid a towel and shirt folded aside and knelt brushing hands and tears off Mikko's face. " First you must decide to quit for you. Not the little boys, though their safety and your ability to provide any sort of care will be hampered if you are unwell or seeking a fix... but they are among those that are like them, and that rat knows what he is doing..."

" Secondly quit for you, not Donatello, he may or may not reciprocate your feelings, or even if something develops it may not last. And verbally or physically attacking the girl he obviously currently has it bad for will not help." She was gentle but firm in her words. " Thirdly, getting off dependency of anything addictive is a win for you. And to take care of others you must take care of yourself first. And you have help here. Cold turkey is going to be rough... sure you don't want to try having something.... and slowly decrease amounts and time between doses until dependency goes down and eventually give it away?"

Splinter muffled a soft short chuckle. "Glad to here it - we worried for you last night." Mostly a whisper as Leonardo and Raphael were talking.

His next words where not though. "Perhaps the rest of this week we will do only light stretches and katas - focus on more healing hands per day - small sessions so as not to tire you out in one go so badly Leonardo, but for you Raphael, as long as Donatello manages your pain levels we ... speed up your healing." He kept voice soft though addressing both young men.

Little Gold was on Mikey's plastron and rubbed his little golden snout against the bigger turtles shoulder hugging with his whole self!

Cyan was over the right bicep and beamed.

Violet on the legs facing his golden brothers shell and behind him Crimson on the feet.

Four little tails still wagged - until Gold asks... his beaming grin falling away. "Yoy no liss hugs?" worried they might have upset this turtle... his brothers tails all stopped wagging... and for a moment they looked worried. Last time they had upset someone they ended up being owies and sent away to be found by Donatello!

Still chuckling Donnie nods, "Sure thing Mikey - hang on..." He pauses though reaching for the Gold boy and smiles, reaching instead catching the little Cyan fellow, "Of course Mikey loves hugs..." he tries to reassure the small boys adding a glance to Mikey to do the same as he gently places the little blue fellow down then reaches to extract the red one -

Following this up with the purple - waiting for Mikey to answer the little golden fellow before he shifted him off to - and offered Mikey a hand up at the same time. "They already took me down this morning... Leo I think he said he got slammed earlier - but the second time was ready for them." He chuckles.

"Hah hah - you are the comedian..." half sarcastic, half amused a grin at april and glancing back at the Freezer, 'I will have to properly meet that creature soon." she grins turning all attention back to the puffs for a moment noting April joined her, teaching her to roll. ..


And she muushed the dough a little harder than she meant to - but tried to cover that with a cough. "Oh.... yes... I...-" she blushed was it sill to admit -

No it was not, what she felt for Leonardo. And he her. The warmth and security and happiness, love that blossomed so easily and quickly between the two of them. "It's not just close April... it's... very close... intimately close..." she whispers back half giggle in her voice, a giddy, rush of a giggle. "I've.... never felt anything like it before..."

Feeling bad for making the little turtles think he didn't like hugs, Mikey sat up and scooped up Gold, squeezing him gently and tickling the little fellow's neck with his nose. "I love hugs, little dude. You just caught me by surprise. I want to be able to give you all hugs properly," he said, scooping the others up and holding them close.

Though they weren't related, Mikey had always wanted a little brother. And now it felt like he had four little brothers. He hoped Mikko wouldn't take them away. It would be awesome to be a big brother rather than the little brother.

"Did you all enjoy your pizza?" Mikey asked, holding the boys out so he could see them.

"Wrestled huh? that must have been ... fun" April tried not to laugh out loud.

Kids.


Elena nods fervently, "Much wrestling, made sissy have some owies!" She points... then her pop all gone she slid sideways off her stool and skipped to the bin to pop the half chewed stick in it before skipping out of the kitchen and over to the the collection of turtles, giggling watching Mr FunTurtle Mikey hug the little turtles. "Mmm hmmm de pizza was deliyummy yum." she rubs her belly.

Mikko thought on that. slowing down would could be easier then just stopping all together. That and she couldn't just lay around all day. She needed to stay active. maybe sweat out the toxins. Did that work? Or was that just some lie? She didn't know. But if she stood inactive it would only make her feel worse she knew that.

Finally pushing herself off the floor and trying her best to comb her hair out she gave Shen a nod.

You might be right. as for, doing things for myself. that never worked out. You have to care about yourself to do things for yourself. I know that sounds dramatic. but, it's easier for me to have a goal of getting better to care for another. I was clean once before. Had to sober up to take care of a friend. He didn't make it. long story. Point is. I get what ya saying. But it'll help to keep thinking of those little ones rather then trying to get clean for my own health or whatever.

Mikko let out a small laugh and sighed.

Oooooh. I'm not making sense. I need food.

She turned and began to shuffle over to the kitchen.

But giggling with Elena aside April felt a stab of jealousy and wonder, and suddenly she didn't want to hide from Erica the true intensity of what she had felt before.

"I.. I know - Erica, I felt -"

But Mikko was coming in and with caution - expecting to be called names again and sworn at she offers a neutral "morning,"

"It's okay, Raph.  Just focus on getting better.  That's what's important right now."

Raphael could only offer a painful whimper as he buried his face in the pillow. He hated being in pain, but it was his own stupid fault. He knew a lecture was waiting in the wings when he got better; from both Leonardo and Splinter. But, he deserved it.

Raphael opened his eyes when he heard a commotion outside. He frowned slightly. "What's going on out there?" he asked, nodding towards the door. "Sounds like someone's wrestling."

Mikko looked up when she heard April's greeting. She gave a grunt and half wave in response then started to dig through the fridge. The name calling would have to wait till she was more awake to think of something clever enough to say. Finding a jar of pickles she pulled it out and sat it on the counter, popping the top open she pulled one out and started to munch on it.

it seemed things got quiet when she arrived in the kitchen.

Does everyone wake up this early every morning?

That relieved five little guys and tails wagged, Gold at first squirming, giggling, now all four in his arms, oooh!

Violet saw a chance to show off his new words again, "yesth mush yum, has ceeeeeees an pinnnnpppul and susss and haaam." Sounding out the words eagerly as he had before. Beaming at this turtle.

Crimson nods enthused, Cyan piping up, " and we pwayed in Daaaaons shiiiknee rooom," pointing back towards the lab, oh it had been mightily great fun unawares of all the mischief they caused Donatello and Leonardo in the 'shiny stuff' induced rush.

Crimson waves a hand at Mikeys eyes to cut across his blue brother, " annnn annnn Daaaaoooon took a tooof!" hurriedly opening his mouth to show the gap in his baby teeth.

Gold, Violet and Cyan showing their gaps off too, Gold adding "annn got smuck annn has wooliop!"

Chuckling and carefully helping Mikey to his feet, especially careful cause his brother had all four young turtles kn ar,s and was being regaled woth the mornings many adventures. " as you can tell it has been a busy morning, said they could come in and see Raph with us as long as their gentle... and no hugging him like they did us... i took a tooth to run an isotope on them, try narrowing down where they lived. What they grew up on... and that reminds me," he opens a boo boo box and pulls out a swab, " i need to swab your mouth, you know double check blood types for blood taking some time encase the little boys ever need it."

Amd it was mostly the truth, but no need possibly freaking Mikey out the little golden coloured boy might actually be his... or exciting him then letting him down should it go that way when results came back in.

He held out the swab. "Just open wide and I'll rub it on the inside of yout cheek. Then we'll go in and see Raph. He will need pain meds and food and drink."
