TMNT: Raphael's new life.
''Raph, you're not going topside, and that's final.'' Leo crossed his arms, another wall between Raphael and the lair door.
''You're not the boss of me, Leonardo.'' Raph replied coldly, eyes narrowed in anger.
"Well, since Master Splinter is away, and he left me in charge, yes, I am.''
''Fine!'' Raphael suddenly said. He left the sitting room and stormed to his bedroom. Within seconds, the sound of him training with his punching bag drifted down to his brothers.
They knew to leave him be, so Donatello headed for his lab, Leonardo started watching TV, and Michelangelo went to make supper.
A hour later supper was ready. ''I'll get Raph.'' Mikey notified before he did a backflip to land in front of Raph's room. ''Supper's ready'' he called out.
Raphael emerged from his room and joined his three brothers at the table.
'Tonight, I will be free,' he thought.
''This is great, Mikey.'' Raph said aloud.
''Thanks, I'm glad everyone's enjoying it.''
''Hey Raph, do you want to give me a hand upgrading your bike later?'' Donatello asked.
''Sure thing, Donnie.''
''I see someone's in a better mood now.'' Leonardo spoke up.
''Yeah, I am Leo.'' Raphael smirked at him.
''That's good'' Leo replied evenly.
Mikey and Donnie smiled at each other, both thinking, I'm glad that Raph is in a better mood.
Supper was continued in silence. Afterwards, Raph and Donnie went to update Raph's motorbike. They returned after a hour, both pleased at how well the job had gone.
The four turtles decided to watch a movie together. They chose to watch Leo's favourite movie, although Raphael hated the movie. Leo glanced at Raph, looking both smug and cocky. Raphael decided to bite his tongue and not say anything, his action tonight would be the perfect response.
Sometimes he hated the lair. Hated how trapped it made him feel.
After watching the movie, everybody decided to spar in the dojo. Raph and Leo were the last two standing and stood apart from each other. Waiting for the other turtle to launch the attack. Raphael normally would, but decided to try a new tactic instead.
A few minutes of the stillness, then Leo had to launch the attack. Raph dodged it before lowering himself and giving Leo a quick kick behind the knees. Leo collapsed on the ground. Quickly jumping up and dusting himself off, Leo re-engaged.
At first it was anyone's fight, but then Raph started to win. After landing the final blow, although they had both refrained from actually hurting each other, Raphael had won. "Good game, Leo." Raph offered his brother an hand up.
"Same to you," Leo replied although he had a small frown on his face.
"You two were amazing there!" Mikey enthused.
"Yeah, that change of tactic was very clever, Raph." Donnie commented.
"Thanks, but it was a good match." Raph announced before Leo interrupted him, demanding a rematch. "Not tonight, Leo, I'm not in the mood, plus we all need showers before bed." Raph insisted.
Leo who strongly disliked defeat, started mocking Raph. Soon Donnie and Mikey joined him, Raph smiled, but was thinking 'I can't wait until tonight'.
"I'm hitting the showers." Raph waved them off.
After his shower, Raph went to bed. Leo was mad but decided to let it go. So everyone had their showers and went to bed.
At two AM, Raph snuck out of the lair and decided to go for a run. But he was attacked and outnumbered. He barely managed to escape with his life. Fortunately for him, a female teenage mutant ninja turtle came to his aid.
Wait a minute, a FEMALE teenage mutant ninja turtle?
She took him all the way across two towns to her lair, which, funnily enough, happened to be in the sewers. After getting the required medical assistance, he was introduced to those who would be his new family.
