My Family
a/n: I really do mean it this time when I say that I am not going to post up any new fics after this one. Still got plenty of others to finish. Anyway, this is a collection of drabbles where the turtles describe how they feel about their family, based on the 2k3 series of the turtles. The word for this chapter is tourism. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 1- Leonardo
I am the oldest it is my job to protect them no matter what happens. My brothers don't know what it is like having the responsibility of the entire family on your shoulders. At least I have my father to back me up when I feel like I am going to fail them, fail him.
Donnie says that our existence was a complete accident, and I think that my second youngest brother is wrong to say that. I believe that it was our fate, that it was too much of a coincidence that we just so happened to be in the right place at the right time to be mutated in to what we are now. There is no way our origin story happened by chance.
Let me start with who we are. There is me, Leonardo, I am the eldest and the leader of our ninja team. I'm the one who can come up with a plan in a minute with backup plans, I have developed my mind into thinking strategically for the last few years. I live and breath martial arts and spend all of my free time either going over my katas or meditating, I will also read books, mainly mysteries, but other than that most of my time is spent in the dojo.
My immediate younger brothers name is Raphael, he is the tough guy of the family and as a far as our ninja team goes he is the muscle of the group. He would do anything to make sure that we don't get hurt, if he wasn't so hotheaded and passionate then he could have been leader leader along side me. We are always competing against each other until we are on our patrol of the city then it is almost like we can read each others minds. I guess we are both just as hotheaded and stubborn as each other. Like me Raphael will spend a lot of his free time in the dojo, but he prefers to practice weight training or weapons practice rather than katas or anything like that. He loves wrestling, if he wasn't a giant talking turtle then he would so be going down the path of being a professional wrestler. If somebody would just remind my passionate younger brother that professional wrestling is fake then everything would be perfect.
My second youngest brother is Donatello, I have already mentioned him. He loves technology and basically will study any book until his eye balls pop out of their sockets, and then he would engineer a machine that would allow him to put them back in again. He is the calmest of the four of us. And is the kind of person that can stop the rest of us from killing each other. Either by splitting us up himself or by one of his inventions running a mock in the lair. He spends most of his free time in the lab or up in the warehouse fixing whatever junk he can find in the junk yard into something we can actually use, or fixing what ever the rest of us has broke, including our bones. Donatello has single handedly made sure that life is easier for us here in the sewers.
Last but not least is Michelangelo. He is the classic youngest. He is sensitive and possibly has ADHD, I'm not quiet sure about that one. He doesn't train as hard as the rest of us do, but he doesn't have to the turtle has a gift for martial arts, who else would be able to master nunchucks at nine years old. Mikey is the goofy one who makes us all laugh, he is kind and will bask in attention at every chance he gets. he feels like he wants to make a difference in the world which is why he created the turtle titan, to do things for the greater good. I am proud of him for doing that. None of us other than Mikey had the courage to step up and do something like that. As you can guess by the title Turtle Titan Michelangelo has a thing for comic books and video games. He is your classic teenager. And man can he shred on a skateboard.
Other than that I think that our family is a single strong unit, yes we have our arguments, but then again who doesn't. We aren't normal either, but who needs normal when your life can be one shell of an adventure. And besides if you are close to your family and have good friends behind you then anything is achievable, right?
a/n: Not very long and as this is really my first drabble I have no idea if it is supposed to be long. It didn't take me as long as I thought it would to type this up, I did have to stop for dinner though. Next up is Raphael
