Reset, Restart, Refocus: A Rottmnt self insert fan fiction

Reincarnation... it's a thing apparently

You had no idea how to figure this new chance at life out, but you sure as shit weren't giving up. You have a second chance, and you are going to make the most of it.

You had been pacing the room for two straight hours trying to piece things together, but the more you thought about it, the more your head began to hurt. "What did they mean by, 'we specifically pick universes that bring you comfort and joy' This looks exactly the same as earth..." you murmured to yourself.

You decided that you would try and do some sort of 'investigation'. Reaching in your back pocket, you grabbed your phone; something you realized you had on you just 30 minutes prior- and unlocked it.

'Saturday August 1st 2:43am' 'Huh... That's weird, it had been Tuesday when I...' you left one word out of the thought... you didn't really want to think it.

The Home screen was completely barren, with the exception of utility apps. You were shocked and unsurprised simultaneously... Everything had been wiped. Your contacts, pictures, memories, completely gone. Of course... why would they let you keep anything that meant something to you? Bastards... You opened Google, but stopped at the search bar. What the heck could you type?

You decided on closing out the app and opening 'News' maybe that would be a smarter choice.

Economic statistics, car accidents, robberies, yeah... sounded pretty average. Except... one caught your eye.

'A strange figure wearing a blue hood and mask was spotted standing atop the Wells Fargo bank early Monday morning. Witnesses claim they were armed with weapons appearing to be swords, and they had dropped a large sack of money before fleeing the scene in a flash of blue light, leaving no trace behind. Officers are unsure of how to handle the report.' 'If you have any information that might help this case, please contact your local authorities.'

"Sounds kind of like Leo... probably just a weird fan or something." You decided, however you realized that might be just what you need to calm your nerves. Any content involving your comfort characters helped ease your stress, as ridiculous as it sounds. You've grown attached to the silly turtles, seeing them always put a smile on your face.

You entered 'Tmnt' into the search bar... No results. 'Huh? That's weird, normally it pops right up when I enter it.' You thought.

'Teenage mutant ninja turtles'... No results.

Okay... that's impossible, there must be something wrong with the Wi-Fi- wait... Oh, right... this isn't your world anymore. Fuck...

You sucked your teeth, the turtles don't exist in this universe apparently. That's just fantastic... You grabbed your wallet and opened the door to the balcony, "I need some air..." you mumbled to yourself, stepping out.

The air was a nice temperature, around 70 something you'd guessed. Inhaling deeply you gathered your thoughts, 'It will be okay, I'll be okay...' as you stared at the million blinking lights around you. The city looked gorgeous, even from the second floor's view. You've never been in such a big city, if this were any other time you would be more excited to experience it.

You laced your arms on the guards resting your head upon them. At least it was quieter now than before. More people were asleep, not everyone, but the majority.

Your calm state was interrupted with a flash of blue light flooding your vision, blinding you momentarily.

"AA-AH!!" You shouted, throwing your hands up and falling backwards, your back hitting the door.

You heard a shout as a figure emerged from the light onto your balcony's safety guards. They wobbled and slipped, clutching the top railing for dear life.
