New roomies (Leo x Reader) (on hold)

33. The show

The hall was full of people. The audience was present from young to old, from children to adults. I was pleased to be a part of this handing out stamps on their hands to enter the hall. Since this was going to be a long night I gave April and Donnie a message that I won't be at home all too soon.

For April was this okay despite her skeptical assumptions towards the mutants I work with. Donnie however didn't take it lightly and neither did his brothers. Once they were in the Lair Splinter told them about a very special mission they have to fulfill tonight.

"Aren't we grounded?" asked Leo with a grin on his face, only to get an impact with a rat's tail as a reply. Splinter was not in the mood for jokes, "This is serious blue. We cannot afford to fool around now. I expect you to be ready in half an hour." He went to his bedroom to gather the scrolls. His sons need to know what they are against so a few scroll might help him to explain this better. But at the moment Donnie received my message and looked at it with wide eyes, "You got to be kidding?!"

His brothers looked over purples shell to see his screen.

They all reacted the same way. April already informed D about my new job but he assumed this was just a joke. The boys noticed how Leo tip toed out the lair. Only to be stopped by Mikey, "Where do you think you are going?"

"We have to get Y/N out of there"

The boys don't trust the magician and their assistant but they didn't want to disappoint their dad either. Leo assumed he only said that to get them to do team work exercises again. And the boys do not like those types of training. Donnie nodded on this checking his phone, "She is at April's School, the show starts in..."

"Wait wait wait...D...did you put a tracker on Y/N...again?!" said Leo furiously.

"I would never put a tracker on her!"

His brothers looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Purples face changed to a forced smile, "I just installed an app on her phone."

"Donald we need to talk about this" demanded Mikey looking very angry.

Leo however recovered quickly from his anger looking at his brothers. They all got their weapons ready and head out on their mission only for Splinter to arrive with a pile of scrolls in his hands looking around , "Boys?...Boys?!!!"

"Boys!" I said to the magician and his assistant as they got into their costumes, "it is Showtime".

The atmosphere was amazing. The crowd was cheering for the magician to make his entrance. A few in the audience weren't too hyped by show. Baron Draxum destroyed the entire café as his frustration level about this internet issue got too much for him. His gargoyles were lucky enough to use the owners phone to find out the location as well as stealing a ticket for the show. Even at the entrance he was in disguise as I stamped the hands of every person entering. I was too much in my role and happy that I was doing a good job that I didn't look at his face and just stamped his hand. Baron Draxum rubbed his hand in disgust as it didn't come off, "Filthy human paint...it won't get off!" In a foul mood he had to sit next to two old ladies. The gargoyles took this to their advantages and stole the drinks and food off the women without them noticing. In the back the turtles watched the show in silence. Thankfully for Leo's portal they could get in with ease. They all looked as the show began.

Splinter could not describe how furious he is with his sons at this moment.

He called April to get the store as soon as possible. They will both take care of this armor on their own by making sure it remained incomplete. Both in ninja outfits they kept a good eye on it from a distance. So far was everything good.

I helped with a few effect by adding smoke and music to the performance as the crowd was thrilled by the tricks Hypno made. Leo, Mikey and Raph looked at it with amazement forgetting why they came to the show in the first place. Donnie wasn't impressed by this and looked through the crowd for me...noticing another face, "Guys...we have trouble."

"We know we know trickery is the science of cowards" said Leo bored.

"No, look over there"

He pointed at the tall figure a few rows down. Mikey asked if he can be more specific. Donnie got his laser pointer from his battle shell and pointed at the back of the person. Despite the disguise Baron Draxum didn't hide his horns that well. The turtles were worried.

"We got to get Y/N out of here before this guy gets her" said Raph looking through the crowd.

"But where is she?" asked Mikey.

Purple assumed that I might be behind the stage but with Leo's portal being too bright for the dark hall they might get spotted by the humans. They needed another way to get to the stage. Hypno finished a trick with a bunny before asking someone in the audience to come on stage. Leo wanted to get his chance and held his hand up. Raph panicked, "What are you doing?!"

"This is the fast way of getting on stage"

"The whole audience will see you, put your hand down"

Unaware that another hand went up a few rows down which Hypno happy announced to come to the stage. The turtles all gasped as Baron Draxum stood up. With the lights on him I finally noticed his appearance and shuddered. His gaze stayed on me which made it harder to just run out the back door. Hypno was also looking at him with wide eyes just like Warren. They know him from the past.

Baron Draxum in his disguise stood on stage waiting for the magician to do his next move. Meanwhile I was unsure what mine should be. I could not just leave but staying was also a bad option.

Hypno went a little closer to the volunteer whispering, "Please don't make a scene. This is our major breakthrough tonight."

Baron Draxum grinned towards me, "Same for me."
