Promise (Raphael X Reader)

21

It's been two weeks since the incident at the chemical plant. Raphael has been ignoring me, I doubt we're together anymore. Duela Dent didn't survive, the turtles weren't comfortable with death. We ended up leaving her at a hospital.
I was in a book store looking around to see if they have anything I would want to read. "(Y/n)?" I hear behind me. "Hey, Venus." I answer her not turning around. She steps next to me. "Is everything okay? You look stressed." I turn to her, "A lot happened that night after you left." I answer her. She looks down, I see guilt in her eyes. She never wanted to be bad, she just wanted to live her life none of the good guy or bad guy labels. Sadly for us, we have a label even if we try to prove everyone wrong or get rid ot it. "There's a great place I know that has really good tea and coffee." I smile at the girl that was once our friend. "You know that does sounds good. Let me buy this book and we can go." I tell her hoping this is my chance to get her back on our side.

After leaving the book store we made our way to an apartment complex. We entered her apartment where there are many types of herbs, and flowers growing. "So what would you like tea or coffee?" She questions me. "You know my favorite." I smile at her.
"Alright coming right up. Make yourself comfortable." I sat on a bar stool watching her make herself tea and my drink. "Do you mind if I ask you questions?" She turns towards me, "That's the most I can do after that night." She answers.
"Have you tried contacting any of our moms? Sorry, I mean..."
"Not really, mommy found me though and she said that she will keep me safe from them. I was scared and I've been on the run for too long. Long story short she wanted me to find you guys and Bruce. So here I am..."
"What could they gain to finding us?" I ask her hoping for some information.
"They wanted all of us to fight and end everything ." She set our drinks on the counter and sits beside me. "Now time for me to ask questions." She says.
"Ask away." I prepare myself.
"Who are the turtles? I'm guessing they're turtles with the shell."
"They are New York's vigilantes." I tell her.
"What's bothering you?" She waits for me to gather myself.
"I was dating one of the turtles. He found out who I was and has been ignoring me since." I simply tell her.
"Yikes. I wish had some advice, but honestly, I don't have any. Give him time, or demand an answer?" I take a sip of my drink when my phone vibrates. It was Jason checking on me.
"Who's texting you?" She smirks.
"Why do you ask?" I question her back.
"One you smiled, two your face looked less stressed out."
I roll my eyes, "It's just Jason. He's been kinda protective and a pillow since that night." She sat there for a second.
"A pillow huh? Do you want to get back together with him?" I actually paused. I love Raph, but Jason is the one who was always there. Even now, when I can't sleep at night he comes to my room and comforts me.
"Oh no. You're thinking about it. Is it that bad between you and...?" She trailed off.
"Raphael and I guess it is. But Jason and I tried and failed. I'm not going through that again." I look toward the window and I see it's raining. My phone began vibrating displaying that Jason was calling me. I look toward Venus, "Answer it." She tells me. Answering the phone I walk away to the big window watching the raindrops.

"Here take my number. We need you." I add my number into Venus's phone. She smiles at me, "I'll call tomorrow, but promise me you won't do anything with Jason until you talk with Raphael." She warns me. Knowing she is right I take her advice. Heading downstairs I see a red Lexus RCF waiting for me. Entering the car, my seat was heated for me. "Thanks for picking me up." I tell Jason. He gives me a smirk, "Anything for you. Come on let's go home maybe we can do something." 'I am going to have a hard time not doing anything.' I admitted to myself.

Alright, you got Venus on your side, but sadly Raphael is not talking to you. What will happen between you and Jason? How is Raphael doing?
