Raphael x reader

Chapter 17

Raphael sees you looking at your phone in worry. When you excuse yourself Raph decides to follow you to definitely not eavesdrop. He just happens to overhear the entire conversation. Raph feels like he should comfort you. Even if he isn't exactly cuddly he still pulls you close. With you so close Raph can smell you shampoo, he inhales. 'Mm, strawberry.'

"Everything okay?" Raph feels you slump into him and tightens his hold so you won't fall. Maybe he could help find your mom?

Of course you wouldn't just let him help like that, so he has to figure something out himself.

"Hey Don, you can find someone on the computer right?" Raphael asks as he rushes into his brother's lab after you've left.

"Uuh, yeah sure. Who are we looking for?" Donatello sets the sciencey thing he was working on down and rolls his chair in front of the half dozen screens.

"(Y/n)'s mom's AWOL. Thought you could maybe find something."

"Sure I'll look into it." The clacking of the keyboard is the only sound in the room for several minutes. Raphael feels more and more uneasy about this whole situation every minute that ticks by.

"I found something." Donatello exclaims after what feels like a eternity to Raph. "Offshore bank accounts, shipments, items most marauders dream about all off the record and most of them going to and from one set of accounts."

"Yeah? What's yer point Don."

"These accounts," The purple clad turtle says with a grim tone in his voice. "they belonging to Oroku Saki."

Before the words had registered in Raphael's mind he was already running out of the lair. Almost on autopilot he dials your number.

"Cmon cmon pick uup." He mumbles under his breath, even though you pick up after the fist ring.

"Raph?" Raphael let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he hears your voice through his shell cell.

"Are you okay? Where are ya? I'm goin' ta pick ya up."

"That's going to be a little hard. I'm hiding in a closet." Your voice whispers barely audible over the rushing water in the sewers.

"Please don't be doin' somethin stupid." Raphael's voice has a hint of desperation in it you don't fail to pick up on.

"I found my mom at the Hilton. There's some fishy business going on and I need to know what's happening."

"No, no! It's dangerous! Yer mom, she..." Shit. How do you tell your girlfriend that her mother works for the most evil man on the entire planet?

"I have to talk to her, Raph. She-"

Raphael cuts you off. "No, stay put 'till I'm there!"

"Uhoh. Make that a lot hard." The last thing Raphael hears is a yelp before the connection breaks.

"Y/n? Y/n! Shit. Fuuuuck. God damn it!" Raphael stops running to punch a wall, leaving a sizeable dent in the stone before he storms off again.

Raphael's shell cell went off. Donatello's voice immediately tells him your location.

"Y/n's in danger!" Raph tells his brother in turn.

"I've informed Leo and Mikey, we're on our way." Raphael's nerdy brother says to him before he hangs up. Raph rushes over the roofs, barely taking care to stay in the shadows.

"Please be okay. Please be okay."

Raphael arrives at the Hotel and sneaks into the floor Donatello said your signal was on. He finds your phone amidst signs of a very recent struggle. Half broken closet door, broken broomstick, glass shards, blood ('That better not be Y/n's' Raph thinks) and cleaning products litter the floor of the otherwise prestige hotel hallway. There is no clue as to where you have been taken or who took you.

"Y/n..." Raphael says solemnly, holding the small, busted electronic in his hand.

He doesn't need a clue though, Raphael knows where to look for you. And he has never been more angry.

"Ya ain't gettin' away this time, Shredder. Just you wait 'till I get my hands on ya."
