You were walking thru the sewer, limping against your crutches. You had finally convinced the turtles to let you go home. Not like you don't like your stay with the guys, in fact it was a ton of fun but you were getting home sick. You saw Donatello rubbing his hands nervously from the corner of your eye as you five walked along. He had been trying to convince you to stay until you were fully healed for the last week, but you had experiments to conduct and inventions to create and you couldn't do that without your lab in your apartment.
“You sure you’ll be okay (f/n)?” Donnie asked for the eleventh time, everyone groaned at the repeating question.
“For the last time Donatello, YES! Besides, I gotta get back to Scooter is probably worried sick” You answered irritated but touched at his concern. Donnie couldn’t help it though, the krang was after you for some reason and you were injured, so much could happen
“Who’s Scooter?” Mikey asked
“He’s my best friend” you answered with a quickly, trying to focus on no falling into the sewer river flowing beside you. Donnie’s face curved into a slightly sour look as you all walked. You lived with a guy? Donnie felt a tinge of irritation knowing that whoever this Scooter guy was would let you go to the dump alone at NIGHT! His anger rose slightly even more that he hadn't even contacted you in the last two weeks of you missing. You stopped, breaking Donatello’s thought, looking up at the manhole you had stopped under. Your face twisted in thought, trying to figure out how you were going to climb the ladder without hurting yourself.
“Need some help?” Donnie said, walking to your side.
“Ummm sure, but how”
“you could hold onto me and I climb up” he said
“Or we toss you up and someone catches you up top” Mikey suggested with a smirk.
“ I like that idea” Raph said seeing your scared face
“W-What?!” you yelled, watching Donnie climb up and open the hatch. You were about to protest when you felt Mikey’s hands and quickly launch you threw the hole. You let out a sharp scream of surprise as you closed your eyes tightly. You felt two long arms snake around your waist and pull you forward, your cheek hitting something hard. You opened your eyes to meet a very close view of a plastron, a warm blush rising to your cheeks when you felt the arms squeeze slightly. You slowly looked up to meet a pair of warm chocolate brown eyes, causing the blush on your cheeks to worsen. Donatello’s face was mere inches away, the heat from his blush burning just as bad as yours, it didn't help that he could feel your breath brush his face. The sound of feet hitting the ground caused you two to jump apart, only for a shock of pain to shoot up your leg and cause you to fall.
“ouch!” you whined.
“ Yo Donnie, you were supposed to catch her not drop her” Raph mocked, Donnie shot him a glare and helped you up, tucking your crutched gently under your arms. You mumbled out a thanks and continued to your apartment. You walked on the street as the turtles watched you carefully from the rooftops to make sure you made it back safely. As you neared your apartment building you pulled out your phone and texted Mikey.
“ We’re here, I’ll open up the window and let you guys in”CC
“Alrighty Dudette” He send back. You quickly made your way inside to your apartment, but when you opened the door you let out a gasp. Your apartment was COMPLETELY trashed! You ran to the nearest window as fast as your injured leg could take you.
“ Guys, Come Quick!!” you yelled out, they were thru your window in a matter of seconds. Their eyes widened at the mess, inventions were smashed and toppled over, beakers were broken and spilt chemicals were eating away at your table. Looking at the mess your eyes widened further at a dire realization.
“SCOOTER! Scooter where are you?!” you yelled, frantically searching through the rubbish, ignoring the pain in your leg. You suddenly hear Mikey scream and grab a piece of the broken table.
“What’s wrong?!” you panicked looking around.
“ There’s a rat on you!!” he yelled pointing at you crutch. When you looked, there was a large black and white rat sitting on the grip of your crutch.
“Scooter! Oh thank Darwin you're alright!” You smiled widely, scooping him up in your hands and gently kissed the top of the rodents head and placing him on your shoulder.
“Scooter….is a rat?” Donnie asked confused, this whole time he thought you were living with a HUMAN guy and it was only a rat? He felt so stupid for jumping to such a conclusion.
“ He’s not a rat! He’s my best friend” you protested slightly angry but when the small rodent nuzzled your cheek you calmed down. You sighed looking around the room sadly, all your work gone. You had tears in you eyes, all that time and memories, completely destroyed. You felt a hand on your shoulder and Donnie’s saddened voice sounding from behind you.
“Well find out who did this (f/n) I promise. In the mean time lets get this place cleaned up” he said with a smile, hoping to lighten the mood. A loud groan sounded from Mikey as he protested in laziness, you laughed when he got a glare from Donnie and a swift smack from Raph, smiling at the guys.
“ Thanks guys, that would mean a lot….and Mikey, if it eases the pain I’ll make you all breakfast” you laughed looking at his childishly sparkling eyes as he rushed off to start cleaning. He lightly dumped a table as he ran by, causing a small vial of blue liquid to fall towards a puddle of green crystals on the floor.
“NOOO!” you yelled reaching out your hand out, as to magically stop it. When it crashed to the floor it began to fizz and you dove behind your turned over couch. The fizzing erupted in a turquoise foamy explosion, covering everything and everyone in a froffy mess.
“MIKEY!!” The guys yelled angrally, when you crawled out from behind the caoch you saw the four foam covered turtles running around the room. You laughed enjoying the sight of the guys running around, petting your partners head.
