The Viridescent Price - RAPHAEL X READER

A Target

It was a very uneventful Friday evening. Last Tuesday the turtles had infiltrated the Kranng's van and had happened to steal some type of purple substance from it. The brothers didn't know what it was. It could be retro mutagen, a new more powerful mutagen, it could be really anything. It was up to Donnie to figure that out. April joined him, feeling herself get more sleepy every second. Science isn't as fun as people make it out to be. Her chin rested in the palm of her hand as she quietly began to doze off, her elbow hit the beaker of Kranng goo and it drop split out. It sizzled through her jeans.

   "Ugh, you've got to be kidding me!" April began trying to rub the sticky purple substance off her jean shorts. Frustrated, tired, and moody was the only proper way to describe her mood at the moment. She grinded her teeth together.

   "Y-you okay April..?" Donatello asked the red head. She sighed and shrugged.

   "Oh yeah, I mean, I guess I just got disgusting krang... goo all over me- but I'm great." She said sarcastically. Donnie chuckled awkwardly.

   "Maybe let's just be more careful this time. I only have a little to sample." he smiled nervously, attempting to keep everything positive. April turned her frown into a smile and nodded at him. The turtle then grabbed the beaker of purple liquid. Very slowly he began getting ready to pour it into a small glass bowl. He forced himself into a deep concentration. "Now... I just need to be very steady,,,that's it... annnnddd-" The lab door burst open startling him.

   "DONNIE! PATROL TIME!" Michelangelo honoured in the laboratory. A very irritated Donnie spilt a little more of the sample. He sighed to himself before getting up from his seat. April blinked at him, expecting him to lash out in anger at his younger brother- but he didn't. He just left with an annoyed expression covering his face. April continued to examine the Kranng goo awkwardly alone while the boys went on.

   "Alright team, I say today we need to be looking out for more Kranng. " Leonardo announced to everyone. Raphael raised an eyebrow.

   "Why are we looking for the Kranng specifically..? We have much bigger threats Leo." Leo shrugged. 

   "The last time we saw the Kranng they were acting extra sketchy. I think they have some type of plan. We have to be sure they aren't hiding anything up their sleeve. Ready team?"  They all nodded and grabbed their weapons while exiting the lair.

  Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, the boys discovered nothing too suspicious- in fact this was one of the most boring uneventful patrols they had ever been on. They kept their eyes out for Kranng at first, but then they got so bored they started looking for just about any crime. This was New York City- where the hell was all the crime?

  For some reason Mikey seemed to have a bit of a skip in step. It was like he was happy. Why wasn't he complaining about how bored he was? It made Raphael suspiciously glare at his younger brother. The four stopped on a shorter building and looked down onto the street. Michelangelo began humming to himself. Raphael's eyes narrowed in his direction more intensely..

  "Why are you so jolly?" he asked annoyed. Mikey's bright blue eyes lit up and he smiled.

  "Becauseeeee guess what today is~" he sung the last bit of his sentence. Raph felt himself gag.

  "What?" he grunted.

  "Itssssss..." he rolled out the word. "NATIONAL BOOYAKASHA DAY!" he yelled. The three brothers blinked. Leonardo finally spoke up.

  "What?" Mikey nodded proudly with his arms crossed.

  "That's right fellas, you heard me. Are you all stoked or what?!" Mikey could barely contain all his enthusiasm as he jittered all around. Donatello sighed and facepalmed.

  "Mikey, you know we're literally the only ones who say that." he thought for a moment. "Well.. i don't know about 'we' I guess... mostly you."

  "It's not even a real word." Raph grunted. Mikey's smile fainted a bit.

  "Okay- whatever. Now can you guys just be quiet? We're ninjas!" The three brothers walked up to Leonardo glancing into the ally way between the building.

   "I think we found some Kranng." Donnie muttered.

   "Perfect! Time to kick some shell." Raph cracked his knuckles together smirking. Leo put his arm over him.

   "Wait a minute Raph- lets listen first. Maybe they'll talk about something important..." They all watched closely.

   There were two Kraangs exiting a truck while a man walked out of the alleyway to meet them. The brothers eavesdropped intensely.

   "I see you got my message." the man began. "Will you help me then?"

   "The Krang need to know what the one known as 'anonymous man' wishes of us to do and what it is that we known as the Krang will get in return." the first robot spoke up. The man smirked.

   "It's the Princess. Princess Y/N." he bit his lip softly before continuing. "I won't tell you little bots my full plan, but...tell Krang that if he can somehow find Princess Y/N I can help him access.." he thought for a moment. "A lot of power. Understood?"

   "The one known as Kraang has ordered us Krang to report a what is known as a full plan before agreeing to what you call a deal." the second Krang bot responded. The man chuckled.

   "I'm sorry, I don't trust you fools. Tell your leader Kraang if he's interested in that, I'll explain the details. Now are we clear?" the Kraang bots nodded before getting back into their truck and driving away. The man disappeared into the night as soon as the Krang were completely gone.

   "What does that even mean?" Donnie asked puzzled. "'A lot of power" what is he talking about? Why was he so vague..?"

   "Maybe they want to kill her?" Raph asks with no emotion. Leo shook his head.

   "What power would Krang earn from killing a Princess? It's not like when she dies they automatically become king of the city."

   "Exactly, Leo's right. Theres got to be something else they have planned we don't know. We should've followed that truck."

  "You think?" Raph rolled his eyes. "One minute we're fighting huge, evil, mutant monsters and the next thing you know we're saving some princess. How cliche" He crossed his arms.

  "It's like a movie! Do you think she's pretty? Does she have magic powers?" Mikey gasps mid sentence. "I bet she sings to birds- right guys? SHE TOTALLY SINGS To BIRDS. The Kraang want to start a massive bird army!" he concluded. The three brothers stared at him unamused before facepalming.

   "Whatever is happening, we're gonna figure it out and make sure she's safe. The Krang don't need anymore power than they already have." Leo stated. The three all nodd before heading back to base.
