Alright! Finally I have a good story going on my head. So basically this is mostly centered around the 2007 movie. For those that don't know about the 2007 CGI movie. Go watch it. It's good I enjoyed, I'm a huge turtle fan and will always be one. However, I don't appreciate it when people just want a flame a story! So flames WILL BE FLAGGED AND IGNORED! SCREW YOU FLAMERS! But please review my story, don't just read and disappear. read and tell me what you think, what kind of flaws might need tweaking, if the turtles are too out of character. Cause believe it or not, I value those reviews to better my writing style and stories. I would to be into my story and come to find out in chapter 22 etc. that the con characters are OC. Please review!

lol Anyways I do not own nor take credit for the Ninja Turtles. That totally belongs to Nick and Mirage Studios. But this plot story is totally all mine! HAHAHA Awesome!

"Brrrr! Geeez this winter is going to be a cold one." Mikey said as he waltzed around with a thick fleece blanket that April had given them last week while cleaning out her closet. He walked over by the TV area and grabbed the remote, turning on the TV to the news.

As he plopped down on the couch, Raph walked by in one of his funks again, as he headed towards the dojo for the fourth time today. There hasn't been much crime activity lately. In fact, ever since Karai took the Foot clan back to Japan. Crime had become an all-time low. The turtles found themselves more at home than out patrolling.

['In other news, gang related crime has been at its lowest it's ever been. Residents of New York are feeling thrilled about the news, police departments are also happy about the lowering ratings, and give a message out saying "With this decrease of gang activity, it gives the people of New York City some room to breathe with ease." And that's it for other news, back to you John']

"Hehe of course, police take all the credit, pssh if only they knew," Mikey said to himself, unaware that Donnie was walking out of his lab. "If they knew, we would be locked up in some experimental lab getting dissected; don't you have work to go to?" Donnie said as he tinkered with a small device in his hands.

"Cowabunga Carl has no birthdays this week, ever since that new movie Frozen came out, all kids want is Elisa at their birthday parties."

"What about the boy parties?"

"Bumblebee took my spotlight on that one, I mean come on who wouldn't want a giant robot that turns into a cool car?!" Mikey said as he deflated. Donnie just chuckled and walked off into the kitchen. As he walked in, he saw a shivering Leo fixing up another batch of tea. His heat cycle was kicking in again. It seemed every year was getting harder for them all. The instinct to mate and produce offspring was a dark reminder for them that they could never have a family of their own. It just wasn't possible. No human on earth would ever be with a mutant. Especially, after that outbreak when Bishop's toxic mutagen was accidentally released into the city. Humans became more alert to the point they started having patrols in the sewer systems to make sure there wasn't any mutants in hiding. Don wasn't going to lie to himself; of course, he wanted a family, but knowing the odds were against him and his brothers it only seemed like a dream that will never happen. However, it seemed Leo took it the hardest, being head of their clan Leo felt he had the obligation of producing an heir, but with the whole mutant turtle thing. That obligation will always be a fail in his book. "Hey Leo, how you holding up?"

"I feel like my skin is on fire" Don grimaced knowing the feeling all too well himself. He also noticed that Leo was running low on tea as well and made a mental note to get more the next time they had a food run. Tea helped for them during their cycle, while they all had their own way of coping, Leo's way consisted of meditation and chamomile tea. "I will be in my room if you guys need me for anything." and with that Leo left to his room. Donnie sighed as he grabbed the coffee grounds and started to prepare another batch of coffee. "Being a mutant sure has its dark downfalls…" Don said aloud to himself.

"It's mine! And you're not taking it away from me." Yelled the young looking brown-haired woman as she gathered the empty teacups from the small bar table. "Oh for god's sakes! You wouldn't even know what to do with such a place! Be rational here Eden, you're single, you live in the city and plus the fact that you lack a love-life and have no children." Yelled the older looking brown-haired woman.

"Oh go fuck yourself Annette! You just want grandma-ma's place to fill your greedy little pockets and sell it off to the highest bidder! You never cared about grandma-ma or the house. "How dare you inferior little-" "ah ah Darling, please?" said an older, but still very handsome looking man. He wore a nice pinstripe gray on gray suit with a red tie and expensive looking shoes. Stopping his wife from insulting her younger sister, he stepped forward confident and collected looking rather high and mighty. It was obvious he felt that he could perhaps turn the tables in his wife's favor.

"Miss Eden, I believe you're missing the point here-" quickly he was cut off by Eden's wittiness, "Spare me the whole sugar coated bullshit Lance, I'm not interested in giving you and my so called sister "my" grandmother's property!" Eden said making sure she put a lot of enthuses on the word my.

"Look I'm sure we can compromise like grown adults here Eden."

"Compromise? Oh! You want me to compromise! Fine, sure I'll compromise!" Eden said with such distaste as she walked to her front apartment door, and opened it with force. "There's the door, get out!" she said with a calm but venomous tone to the snobby couple. Lance walked out first with his head held up high as Eden's sister followed behind but before leaving she said, "You have no idea what you are doing, you're young, you're poor, you will crash and burn, and when you do I will be there, but I won't put you out!" She then walked out as the clicking of her hi heels followed behind her.

Eden slammed the door and went back to her little window nook as she held her head and sighed away the stress that she just endured by her snob of a sister and fake-ass too rich husband of hers. "Wankers…" she said before grabbing her laptop and vintage teacup, sipping on the delicious warm beverage.

April climbed down the manhole, skillfully carrying two brown bags of groceries, ever since her and Casey took a break she's been finding herself coming down to the turtle's lair more often than usual. She will never admit it, but with Casey out of the apartment she just felt lonely. The place was defiantly bigger than the last apartment she had when she was alone and single. Everything in there felt cold, because the place was meant for two people.

The whole thing started when she finally had enough of him always going out late at night playing vigilante. Things were finally calming down; even the turtles toned down the whole patrolling of the city and stayed home more often. Except Raph of course. So she only figured Casey would have settled down too. Unfortunately, he only got worse and began going out almost every night.

Flashback

It was three o clock in the morning by the time Casey arrived home. Trying not to make too much noise getting throw the fire escape window, he was unaware that in the dark April was watching his ridiculous attempts. When he dropped the vase that was close to the window on a nightstand that is when she decided to turn on the lamp on the table where she was seated in an armchair.

"Oh..Uh hey babe, did I wake you?" Casey asked sheepishly, at the same time rubbing his right arm.

"I thought you said you'd be back by 11?"

"I said I would be back late, you know how it is sometimes"

"Sure, if you came back at all, you'd be back later" April was trying desperately to not blow a fit and start yelling like in the beginning when her and Casey were just getting to know each other.

"Look, I'm back let's just go to bed okay? I been out beating thugs all night, just want to go to bed."

"Casey, the foot is gone, the purple dragons are slowly being contained by the police, there's no reason to still be out there fighting!"

"I thought we already talked 'bout this April-""Yes! We have and I also thought we talked about settling down as well?"

Casey stayed silent, not knowing exactly what to say, after a while Casey ended up sleeping on the couch that night while April slept alone in the room. This lasted for three days until finally Casey told April that perhaps they needed a break. That only made things worse and in the end Casey left the apartment leaving April angry and upset.

end of Flashback

"Hmph!" she huffed, April would have passed the secret entrance if it wasn't for her phone vibrating in her pocket. She quickly pulled the secret pipe and entered the lair. Mikey was the first to notice her arrival since he was watching the news in the entertainment area.

"What up April?!" Mikey shouted as he quickly got up to follow her in the kitchen, noticing the brown bags.

"What'd you bring? What'd you bring? Can I eat it? Can I?" Mikey asked as he got overly excited. April chuckled at his overly hyper behavior. Always getting excited about anything she brings down.

"I noticed today was really cold. When it gets like this, I like making beef stew with white rice, however I figured instead of making it at home, why not make it here in the lair. After all, I always end up making too much that I can't finish it all myself." Next thing she knew Mikey swooped her into a hug.

"Alright! Finally an awesome meal done by the bae!" Mikey shouted overly excited as he helped her put some food away, and brought out a couple of kitchen tools for her to use.

Few minutes passed and Donnie walked in noticing April right away.

"Oh hey April" he said, no matter what type of day Don had, when April came down for a visit it seemed all his troubles would just go away. However, something about her seemed different today. The darkness under her eyes seemed like a foreign stranger to him, as he quickly analyzed her appearance before he received an embrace from her.

"Oh hey Don, how you been?" She answered as she gave him a friendly hug. Again, her hug just didn't feel genuine as the confident happy red head he's known. Something was bothering his April and he was going to get to the bottom of it.

"Oh uh, it's been good not much really" Don smiled. They chatted, catching up on recent events and such. Don even explained about Leo's "sickness" giving her a warning to stay away from the blue clad. Don remembers the last time Raph was on his mating season. Apparently he got lucky and was able to actually get laid at this costume party. Forcing himself on that poor girl. It wasn't exactly rape, because in the end he said she was willing to have sex. Though, it took a lot of influencing and as he likes to call it, charm. Don scoffed at his own train of thoughts. 'Charm my foot' he thought

"Is Casey coming down later April? I mean you are making dinner here at our casa" Mikey asked while he began chopping veggies. April winched at Mikey's question. Don looked at her in question. They knew something was up, knowing she wasn't going to get away with it she decided to spill.

"Casey and I…we broke up" April decided to start the stew to try and avoid the on coming questions from the two turtles.

"What!?" yelling out completely in shock. "But how? I thought you guys were really happy with each other! With the whole moving in together and even sharing bank accounts" Don asked with concern. April looked hard at the ground a little lost in her thoughts, "We just did Don, I was just tired of him running of at night, I mean with everything that's happened and then Mr. Winters…I just want to settle down a little you know? I know my life isn't exactly normal, nor do I regret it but…" pausing in mid-sentence she felt a warm sturdy embrace. Looking up she realized Don hugging her and felt his hands brush along her cheeks.

"You're crying…" she didn't even feel her own tears. Sighing heavily, she hugged him back. Mikey snickered at the weird fuzzy moment, before leaving he took a picture with his Shell cell and quietly walked out not wanting to disturb the odd couple.
