•Chapter Twelve•

I don't really have an authors note. So maybe just tell me a fun fact? I don't know.

Enjoy!

"Guys..." Donnie looks at Leo with frantic eyes. "It looks like they're headed back. They're headed back!"

You purse your lips in a tight line, looking at Leo.

"They'll be under us in a few minutes. Leo, we have to jump."

"J-Jump?" You stammer. Raphael's eyes go wide, and he shakes his head.

"I ain't...no way." Raph argues.

Leo helps you stand, grabbing your shoulders and looking at you with a pleading gaze. "Y/n..."

"I can't jump!" You beg.

"I'll jump with you. Just let me carry you, and I'll do the jumping."

You could feel his sapphire blue eyes burning into your soul, begging for your cooperation. Anyone else, you would have said no. But something about this turtle made you trust him with your life.

"Okay." You whisper.

Turning around, Donnie was already at the edge of the plane door. "You guys know the plan."

And then he jumped. He fucking jumped.

"Guys..." Mikey wears a small smile. "He jumped."

Raph spins around. "He jumped?! Without a chute?"

"Yeah! I don't need a chute! I got my board!" Mikey shouts, hopping out of the plane after Donatello.

"Sorry Y/n!" Leo shouts suddenly, wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you against him and jumping from the plane.

It felt like everything was moving in slow motion. You could feel the blood running through your veins, every pound of your heart, every pump of oxygen you received from your lungs.

"MIKEY! I'M FALLING A LITTLE TOO FAST!" Leo shouts, reaching a free hand for his brother, who grabbed his by the hand and swung him forwards.

This only made your heart beat faster.

"Prepare for the ouch!" Mikey shouts, landing on the other plane with a heavy thud.

Leo held you tightly with one arm, using the other to grab Donnie's hand. He latches onto the plane with a suction device, holding on tightly.

You squeezed your eyes shut, trying not to think about how high up you were. What would happen if you fell.

No, Leo will take care of me. Right? Yes...yeah. I trust him. He's got me.

"Where's Raph?!" Donnie shouts, looking up at the plane you were just on. You peak your eyes open, to see Raph just now jump from the plane.

"He won't make it!" Donnie shouts.

"I got this!" Mikey yells.

The suction devices that Donnie had made, were long, firm ropes, fitted to hold the weight of a six foot mutant turtle, and had the suction part at the end. So, Mikey had moved to the end of his rope, ready to grab Raphael by the hand.

"RAPH!" He shouts, grabbing his attention. The turtle in red reaches out his hand, just as he was going to fall right by the plane, and grasps his younger brothers hand.

Leo still held you, as he moved down his rope alongside his brothers, hanging onto the side of the plane as Donnie popped open the side door, a few random items flying out, like a paper bag and a leather vest. Everyone swung in, the door slamming shut behind you.
