this story (like all my stories) is based on the 2003 tv series (AU)
This is an alternate universe where mutants have certain rights and are known about but they are rare and there is a lot of prejudice (think African Americans right after slavery was made illegal. Y'know racism and segregation and all that stupid stuff? Only this is mutants soon after dissecting them and experimenting on them was made illegal)
Naomi was emptying the trash when she heard what sounded like a two year old crying.
She carefully stepped into the alley way behind her house.
"Hello?" she called out as she shone a flashlight into the dark alley.
"Oh!" she gasped in surprise.
Lying on the ground and bleeding heavily was what looked like a giant rat! He was surrounded by what looked like four baby...turtles?
The turtles looked to be about 2 years old.
They had leathery green skin and shells on their backs.
They were about the size of human infants and they had obviously been mutated.
One had brown eyes and seemed to be trying bind the rats wounds
One had blue eyes and was keeping and eye on the smallest one who also had blue eyes and was crawling in circles.
The largest one had intense amber eyes and was hugging the rat tightly. It was obvious that he was the one who had been crying.
"Mutants!" Naomi whispered to her self.
At the sound of her voice the rats eyes opened and he whispered
"help...me. Please!" in a weak voice
"of course sir" said Naomi as she came over "don't worry I'm a nurse. but I'm going to need to take you into my house so I can tend to your wounds. Are these your children?"
He nodded "yes"
"ok then" she knelt in front of the older looking turtle with blue eyes "I'm gonna take your father inside ok?"
He nodded
"do you and your brothers want to come with me?"
He nodded again and began herding his brothers toward Naomi
"great!" she as she went to help the rat get up.
"No!" said the one who had been crying as he ran at her and starting hitting her with his small fists
"it is all right my son" soothed his father "this nice lady is not going to hurt me. She wants to help." he picked up the turtle tot and cradled him in his arms "calm down Raphael"
"Raphael. thats a beautiful name" said Naomi
"thank you" said the rat "that reminds me. I believe introductions are in order. My name is Splinter and these are my sons Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and of course you already met Raphael"
"my name is Naomi Watkins and it's a pleasure to meet you" said Naomi "now we better get you and your sons inside"
10 minutes later:
"so.." began Naomi as she wrapped Splinter's wound in gauze "would you mind telling me how you got hurt?"
"Not at all miss Watkins" said Splinter "I was trying to get some food for my sons when I was attacked by a gang which seemed most displeased with me for being a mutant"
"a hate crime..." murmured Naomi
"yes exactly. Luckily I was able to protect my sons and get away but I felt it would be unsafe to linger so I took them and ran. Unfortunately I broke my leg and was bleeding heavily so I soon collapsed where you found me"
"Do you have a home?"
"Not at the moment. I was headed towards the sewers in search of a place to hide when I fell"
"the sewers!" Naomi gasped "oh dear! Thats crazy! The little ones could get sick! No I wont hear of it! You can stay here for as long as you want"
"thank you miss Watkins. That is very generous of you. I assure we will try not to become a burden."
"Oh nonsense! Why I-"
"mommy?" a young voice interrupted her
"April sweetie got back to bed" she called hoping to stop the little girl from coming into the kitchen
"but mommy I-" the redheaded five year old stopped abruptly as she caught sight of her mothers visitors
"AAAAHHHH!" she screamed "MONSTERS IN OUR KITCHEN! AAAAAHHHHHH!"
She ran over to her mother and buried her face in her mothers skirt
"shhhhh calm down its ok April darling. These arent monsters! These are our friends! They're going to be staying with us for a while!"
April looked at her mother distrustfully her large green eyes wide with worry
"come on sweetheart let me introduce you. Splinter this is April O'Neil. April this is Splinter.. I'm sorry I didnt catch your last name"
"...Hamato" said Splinter "I consider my last name to be Hamato. Why is her last name different from yours?"
"Oh well she's adopted. Both my daughters are actually. But my one year old, Angel is asleep right now. I'm sure you'll meet her tomorrow. Now come on April lets get you back in bed!"
"But who are dose?" asked the little girl pointing to the four 2 year olds who were curled up on the floor asleep.
"Thats Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael" Naomi explained
"are dey my new brudders?"
Naomi looked at Splinter. Splinter nodded
"yes sweetie they're your new brothers"
tada!
this idea just randomly came to me cause i was thinking about how the turtles kinda consider April their older sister and Angel their younger sister.
so i thought: why not make it so they are the turtles sisters! (kinda)
i geuss this is a double AU since its a world where mutants have some rights and its a world where the turtles grew up different.
anyway i need ur guys opinion on what to do next
im not really planning on romance but its a possiblity so tell me what u think!
also should the next chapter have the turtles as kids or the turtles as teens?
should the turtles go 2 school or be homeschooled?
should the shredder be in this story or should we just ignore him?
awaiting ur wisdom...
raph j
(btw i will be introducing Casey dont worry)
please review!
