Chapter 1: Truth Hurts

Raphael, a teenage mutant ninja turtle, the second eldest of the Hamato clan was out on patrol with his human friend Casey Jones. Well you couldn't really call it a patrol, because much to the hot headed turtle and his vigilante hockey player friend's dismay, they could not find one thing that needed their services tonight. Lately the city of New York has been experiencing some of those rare nights of peace and quiet. No alien Kraang droids have been seen buzzing around the city in there lousy attempts at being inconspicuous identical men in black suits. No Foot ninjas appeared to be hiding in the shadows waiting to leap out like a pack of hungry wolves. None of the Shredder's mutants have been out doing any jobs. Jobs which normally just consist of ticking the turtles off! No purple dragons were spotted beating some poor defenceless bystander. Hell not even any juvenile delinquents appeared to be putting in any effort this week. Nope. Lately the city seemed… in the red bandanna's description, borrrrrring!

"Maybe they're all on vacation?" Casey said slumped down sitting on the roof. Raph soon joining him with an 'I'm fed up' look on his face.

"I don't like it." Raph shook his head. "To quiet means they're planning something. Somebody is planning something and now everyone is quiet, so maybe everyone is planning something. And whatever that something is I just know it's going to really tick me off!" He snapped with frustration.

Casey looked at him. "Dude you just like totally over think things!" He chuckled but shut up when Raph looked at him with an offended expression.

"I don't over think stuff. I'm a doer NOT a thinker. That's Donnie's department. Who needs to think when you have a genius at home ready to do it all for you." Laying the sarcasm on thick.

"Ha. You make it sound like he's your carer or something." Casey chuckled not been able to resist the rare opportunity to get under his skin, but Raph just smirked.

"Yep that's right. Donnie's my carer. He cares so I don't have to care when I do this." He said before shoving the teen hard on the shoulder. The heavy bag on his back making him lose his balance and tipped him quite unceremoniously onto his side. This made the hothead chuckle.

"Dude not cool." Struggling to pull himself up back into the sitting position.

"Wrong it was very cool." Raph continued to chuckle.

"So… moving on. How is the Hamato clan lately?" Casey asked trying to make conversation. Boy they really were bored! Raph sighed. Is this what they have been reduced too for bonding sessions? If talking was going to be the highlight of the evening then he was going home.

"Ok I guess. Sensei's doing rat stuff. Leo's been a pain in the shell as usual. Just don't get me started on Mikey. Ever since the games CONSOL broke, he's been unbearable. He has way to much free time now to think up even more creative pranks."

"Can't Donnie fix it?"

"Yeah in his sleep." Raph smiled. "But he's been too busy moping over April lately. Since school started she's not been over much, not at all really. That makes our resident genius miserable, and you know what they say, misery loves company-" Raph was cut off by the suddenly uncomfortable look that came over the vigilantes face at the sound of Aprils' name being mentioned. "Something you want to say Jones?" Raph raised an eye ridge.

The teen boy shrugged uncomfortably. "Well it's me and April. We've been sort of …well dating. We went out a few weeks ago and it went well. Like really well. Meant to be seeing her tonight actually." The turtle didn't fail to miss the gleam in the boy's eye as he said this, but that was quickly replaced by a slightly guilty look. "April hasn't been around so much because she knows it will bother Donatello." Casey confessed. "We both feel kind of bad about it but….you know, she's so hot and she just can't resist my hockey boy charms." Casey trailed off after catching the look on Raph's face.

The turtle couldn't say that he was surprised. In fact Mikey and him had a pool going on how long it would take the two human's to quit the, sideways stares, at each other and make a move. (Looks like Mikey won.) But this did put the red clad turtle in an awkward position. The genius has had a crush on April since day one. Teasing aside, they had warned Donnie that it was foolish for him to go after anything resembling a human. But still he had no desire to see his brother hurt. This put the hot headed turtle in a very difficult position.

Oh why did he have to ask? How was he supposed to keep this from Donnie and yet not be the one to crush what little dreams his brother had? Even if they were just that…

"Well you kids have fun, but think I am going to head home…now." Raph finally said.

Shoving his sai away into the safety of his belt Raph made to make a quick escape before the conversation got any more awkward and full of Casey's lovey dovey babble.

To his disappointment it was still too early when the red clad turtle got home.

"Dude that is a record of the shortest patrol ever!" Mikey looked up from the couch as his brother walked in. At the same time their eldest brother, Leonardo, was coming through from the kitchen carrying a few plates of pizza.

"Donnie pizza!" The leader called out.

"I'll be right there. I'm almost finished." The frustrated voice of their purple clad brother echoed out from the normally silent abyss of the lab. Leo turned away rolling his eyes. His smart brother had not left the lab all day. The only reason he was coming out now was because Leo had threatened to drag him out if he didn't take a break. Entering the TV room he blinked in surprised to see that his red bandanna brother had returned already.

"Oh hey there. Back so soon?" He asked.

The hothead just shrugged. "You know that expression the 'calm before the storm'? Well I think there could be a hurricane coming because it is waaayyyy to calm out there." Raph said flopping down on the couch beside them.

Leo smirked at his brother's obvious frustrations before passing an extra plate over. Raph wasted no time wolfing it down. "It was so boring that me and Casey actually managed to have half a conversation about… stuff." His cheeks reddened slightly and his mouth slipped downwards into an uneasy expression.

"Did you get out of there before you started braiding each other's hair?" Mikey laughed but then stopped as he saw his brother's nervousness. Mikey was sensing a 'but'. There was a 'but' in there somewhere, he just knew it.

"Oh I know that look. What's the gossip?" he smiled getting a little cheeky. At that Raph leaned in conspiratorially and glanced around, checking that Donnie wasn't in ear shot. Mikey scooted closer on the couch, waiting to hear this obviously juicy secret. Leo rolled his eyes.

"Casey and April have been secretly dating." He said in a hushed tone. Raph hadn't been expecting much of a reaction to this piece of information, so he was a bit surprised when Leo almost choked on his pizza and Mikey dropped his before turning to face his brother, eager to get more of the juicy details.

"CASEY AND APRIL ARE DATING!" He yelled at the top of his lungs!

"Mikey for heaven sake keep your voice down!" Both Raph and Leo rounded on him but it was too late. Not five seconds later their purple clad brother had appeared at the door of the lab.

"What was that?" Donatello was suddenly there. This was the first time he had left his lab today, now only to stand with an expression of someone who was praying he had just miss heard. Raph gave Mikey a glare before getting up to meet his other younger brother. Crap. Crap. Crap…well it was time for some tough love. At least that was one thing the hot head was good at doing.

"Donnie this was always going to happen… I mean you must have known that?" Raph tried to sound comforting but knew he was failing judging from the look on Donnie's face.

"They're dating?" Donnie repeated. "And April didn't tell us?"

"Donnie don't take it so hard." Leo got up going to his side. They hated that look of sadness on him. Those big brown eyes could almost be as heart breaking as Mikey's blue ones when he was genuinely upset.

"Is that why she hasn't been around. She's been with Casey?" Donnie asked in a voice what made Raph not want to answer. But he had to be cruel to be kind. Donnie had to let her go. It would never work between them and he had to accept that. Raph took a deep breath already hating himself.

"Yeah and she most likely won't be back if she thinks you're going to be weird about it. You need to get a grip on this bro. She's human… I mean she's partly mutant but she's human and we are freaks-"

"Raph!" Both Mikey and Leo stepped in.

"No this has been a long time coming. Donnie has to face this!" Raph snapped but his stomach twisted by the look on Donnie's face. "Look I'm sorry to be cold but this crush is only going to end up hurting you. You want April to remain in your life then…then you have to let her go." He really was hating himself now.

Leo quickly diverted his eyes. Though it probably wasn't the best way to do it sadly he did agree with Raph on this one, and Donnie could tell he did too.

"I see." The purple turtle sighed before leaving the group, heading for the entrance without so much as a backwards glance.

"Hey where are you going D? Your pizza?" Mikey called after him. He hated seeing his brothers upset and particularly Donnie. He was the only other who was almost as sensitive as he was.

"I'm not hungry. You have it." Donnie's voice didn't appear to change but they all knew he was upset. Before they could call him back, he was gone.

"Well that was totally harsh dude!" Mikey said, quickly addressing the elephant now growing in the room.

Raph covered his face and groaned before answering. Despite his temper, he hated being a jerk. "You're the one who shouted your mouth off shell for brains." Raph pointed out, keeping to his usual tactic of automatically deflecting his guilt.

"You could have broken it to him a bit better than that?" Leo shook his head disapprovingly.

"Well you didn't do much to help either." Raph argued, choking on a sarcastic laugh. "It…It had to be said, now he can get over it." The red turtle crossed his arms tightly as though he was never going to uncross them again. He did feel bad. Really bad but it was the right thing to do… wasn't it?

"So what if it's true. It's the heart dude. The heart is a soft muscle. One hand and squish!" Mikey explained, pushing his point by gesturing his hand into a tight fist.

"Maybe we should go after him."

"I don't know Mikey." Leo shrugged. "Maybe we should just leave him alone for a while." There was a 10 second pause before they all decided that was a bad idea. Donatello may have been the smartest of the ninja turtles, but he was still a ninja turtle and if turtle luck was anything to go by, this would be the perfect time for something catastrophically bad to happen.

"No. For once I agree with Mikey." Raph interjected, cutting off another lecture from Leo before it started. The fact that Donnie hadn't put up any kind of defence but instead had just stood there looking so broken was eating at him. Donnie always looked so helpless, which was a deciding unsettling look for him. It made him look so much younger and innocent. It was like he was wearing his true expression rather then that inquisitive and decisive brain he always depended on.

Back when they were tots, before all the machines had started calling out for Donnie to fix them, he had been the very quiet brother. This left the little purple tot to be sometimes forgotten. But as they had grown and with everything that they had been through their bond had become unbreakable. And it was those same bonds that were pulling the red clad brother to go after him now.

Raph growled to himself. Why did he always have to be the bad guy? "Besides we don't want him getting into any trouble." Raph tried to sound normal but Leo hadn't missed the slight pleading in his voice.

The leader nodded. "Ok we will bring him back. Use your phone to track him. Reluctantly the brothers put their pizza's down and headed out of the lair to retrieve their clever sibling.
