Frostfall (Leonardo X Female Reader)

Only a Matter of Time

Nothing had ever been the same since that night.

Going to school felt like landing on an alien planet where everyone was normal and then there was you, an outcast. Thankfully April, Casey and Jeremy felt the same, April especially since it had been revealed to her that she was half alien too. And for Casey, well with his vigilante life, he didn't feel normal either. It was the three of you against everyone, really. As for Jeremy, it was similar to Casey, he was living this otherlife with the turtles and the Kraang. It was the four of you versus everyone else, really. Each one of you had something that distincted you from the others. You had cryogenic powers, April was telepathic, Casey was a vigilante and Jeremy's SQUIP made him strong. What was difficult was keeping it all from your closest of friends. Jeremy struggled to keep it from Michael and Christine, his best friend and girlfriend respectively. You four had each other at least.

Over the past few weeks, despite the feeling of being an outcast, life went on. You completed your duties as the student council president which meant conducting speeches in the auditorium, sending out mass emails to your peers and keeping contact with the teachers. Luckily you were used to it all by now and the school was generally pretty chill, so there were hardly any big issues that would put pressure on you. Jake Dillinger returned to his normal cocky self and truthfully, you were happy. He even was dating Chloe. Speaking of Chloe, you didn't really like her and she didn't like you; you didn't like each other. Why? You didn't really know, she had been avoidant of you since the first day you were elected student president. You guessed she was still salty over the fact you won and she lost; she also wanted that position and you beat her. Oh well, you couldn't do anything about that.

Another tiring school day passed, you decided to go to the lair, it had been a while since you had last seen the turtles - about 5 days - and you missed them. Spending time with them was all you wanted right then. And so, after deposing your bag in your room, you changed into more comfortable clothes, grabbed your phone and earphones and went out again. There was a lot going in your mind - it was a lot to process for you. There were many questions that you wanted answers to. How were you going to find answers? All your parent's stuff was sent away to god knows where. 

Wait a minute. You thought.

What if the answers were in your parent's stuff? Your father was a scientist, surely he had kept a journal to record all his findings. You had to find it. You would need the turtle's help however, who knew where your parent's stuff would be, they could be in Dimension X for all you knew. You needed back up. 

Okay okay - first, talk to Leo about this. Then, ask Kirby where he sent the stuff, he was the one to take me in after all. After that, track them down to the location and finally, break in and take it all. Easy peasy right? You formulated some kind of plan in your mind.

Sooner that you had thought, you arrived at the lair and called out for the boys. Surprisingly, you weren't met with a bear hug from Mikey. Instead, you just heard Leo, Donnie and Mikey call you back and you turned your head to see them playing with the Space Heroes pinball machine. A chuckle left your lips as you watched the boys have fun. Mikey was close to beating the high score and the two older brothers were cheering for him.

"Great use of your time. While somebody else is out there busting the Kraang's brains in." Another voice interrupted, which made Mikey lose the ball. You all turned around to see Raph and Casey entering through the turnstile.

"And that somebody wasn't us. We got other vigilantes out there going after those alien blobs." Casey added.

"Sounds good to me. Less work for us!" Mikey said with a smile.

"It's not good. The Kraang stole Plutonium. And whoever took 'em down stole it from them!" Raph argued.

"Interesting. Maybe Shredder's going after the Kraang again?" Donnie questioned.
