Embers (Bayverse LeonardoxReader)

•Chapter Seven•

And here's another chapter. It's a lot like the movie scenes, but I did change a lot.
Enjoy!

Leonardo's POV:

"We're getting our asses kicked out there." Raph grunts, clutching his side.

"We only got fifty more seconds before that toxin is released." I say quickly, rolling from my side and propping myself up.

We have to do this. I couldn't let Y/n die.

"Hey..." Mikey says with a goofy smile. "Who wants to play Buck-Buck?"

"Buck Buck?" I groan.

"What?"

"Buck-Buck, Tony on a Pony. Some people call it Johnny on a rock?" Donnie says,  a small info dump on his part.

Suddenly, staring at the Shredder, I knew what Mikey was getting at. "Wait." I say. "Yeah. Let's play buck-buck."

"But why would we-" Donnie begins to question me, only for Raph to cut him off.

"No." Raph growls. "We do what Leo says."

I give him a grateful glance, followed by a fist bump.

Raph shoots me one last glance before speaking up.

"Lead the way."

Your POV:

White smoke catches Sacs off guard, causing him to fire his gun in Vern's direction with no aim.

While his back was turned to you, you take a microscope, slamming it into the back of Sacs head with all your strength.

Before you could register anything else, April rushes to Vern's side, crimson red blood staining his jacket.

"Vern! Oh god, are you okay?" April frantically stammers, her hands shaking above the wound.

You knew what you had to do.

"April." You say, your fingers curling around the mutagen canister. "Stay here with Vern. Stop the bleeding."

"Okay." She's says. "What are you...you can't go alone!"

"Don't argue with me, April!" You warn, patting her shoulder and sprinting from the lab.

You try to silence your anxiety, knowing just how high up you were going to be. You knew that if you didn't do this, it could cost you millions of lives.

Now was not the time to be afraid.

When you'd finally reached the roof, your heart dropped.

The boys were holding up the top of the tower, Shredder standing beside Leo, with his arm coiled to strike.

Here goes nothing.

"SHREDDER!" You scream, holding the canister in the air. You take a few steps back, teasing the edge of the building. "This is all that's left!"

"Little girl!" The Shredder growls, jumping towards you.

Oh fuck.

Your whole body felt numb as your hand limply dangled the mutagen over the edge of the building, threatening to drop it.

It was so high.

"That belongs to me."

Leo's voice pierces your trance. "HOLD IT!" He orders his brothers, struggling with the leaning tower. "Y/N!"
