TMNT OneShots: Volume 3

The Black-Eyed Soldier

All he wanted was to get home. He kept running and running and running. He could hear them behind him. Things were weird now. He felt faster but there was no way. He wasn't a vampire........anymore. He didn't have these abilities. Was it all in his head? Was what Silas, Christian whatever his name was gave him a hallucinogen.

If that were true why were they chasing him?

The sweat was pouring off him like a waterfall when he woke up tied to a chair.

"Huh?"

"Sleep well?"

"What did you do to me?" Raph asked.

"Just a small sedative. You did say something about the Winter Soldier which I found quite odd."

"Wait, so you didn't turn me half demon?"

"You truly have a wild imagination, child. No, I did not. I did mention it though. Maybe the sedative and the beatings got to your head. You are still human, child. And you will remain that way."

"Really?"

A chuckle left Silas' throat. "No, not really. You're not a demon or a super soldier, Raphael. You're just......you're not entirely you anymore."

"How so?"

"Your eyes......now that I have control over you, they may do some....not natural things."

"Like what?"

"Go black."

"You made me into a Supernatural demon?"

"No, no, dear child. The injection you got last night was from Salamandria and it made the soldiers there powerful, not afraid of dying. They would do anything for the person that controlled them. Their General. That is what you will do, for me."

"And if I don't?"

"It will cause you extreme pain. A bubbling under your skin, a boiling in your blood. Your heart rate will spike and it will almost kill you.....Almost." Silas explained. Raph's eyes widened before looking to the ground.

"Ascolta." Silas whispered. Raphael looked up without hesitation, and that scared him. He didn't want to look up, he hated this man. But everything inside him told him to. "Nero." Silas said. Raphael's eyes went black at the sound of the word. "Attacco."

Raphael stood up and broke the chair, he walked towards Silas and slammed him against the wall, growling.

"Abbastanza." Silas ordered. Raphael backed away and continued to growl at the man. "Normale." Silas ordered. Raphael's eyes went back to green and his tense body relaxed.

"Now you see what I can do. I suggest you and your brothers stand down unless you want them to see what you've become."

"And what's that?" Raphael asked.

"A mindless black-eyed soldier." Silas whispered. "Partire." Silas ordered. Raphael growled at the man, but left.

He walked through the turnstiles to see his brothers all sitting on the couch, talking.

"If you guys are coming up with a rescue plan, don't bother. I'm okay." Raph smiled. The youngest brothers smile was as large as the room they stood in as he sprinted over and hugged his brother. Raphael patted his brothers carapace and smiled. "I'm okay." He reassured as his brother walked over and hugged him tightly.

"I'm just glad you made it home in one piece." Leo sighed with relief. Donnie walked over to his brothers free side and smiled. He looked down at his brothers neck and saw the puncture wound of the needle.
