Thanks to all that read chapter one, and thanks to the people who have favorited and followed the story, it truly means. So now onto Chapter two, this is a short chapter, but I felt it needed it's own spot and scene. So let's go. As always, TMNT is not my creation and all of the rights go to their respective owners. So without further ado, here's chapter two.

Chapter Two

"Return of The Mutagen Man"

On the rooftops in another part of the city, April was sitting up in a corner of the building of her apartment with her knees up, making a beat with them to pass the time, as she was waiting for someone. Just then...

"Surprise." The voice came from infront of her as a fimilair face staked in.

"Casey." April called out in delight. Casey roller-staked in holding a tray like item in front of him much like a waiter in one of the expensive restaurants in the city, he approached April taking a figure eight for show before setting down the object.

"Dinner, isa served." Casey announced in the cheesiest Italian accent April could imagine, setting a tray of food next to her, though what she saw didn't exactly appeal to her eyes.

"Bolonga and chesse sandwiches?" The confused teenage looked up at her friend with a half grin, but her friend wasn't done there.

"...and diet soda." Casey added on as he pulled out a six pack of cola from behind his back, raising an eyebrow in somewhat light-hearted fashion from his friend. "I figured you probably watch your figure, I'm not too fond of this stuff myself, but..."

"It's fine Casey." She assured him as she waved him down to sit down next to him to enjoy their "romatic dinner".

"I did my best, it's about all a kid in New York with no money can afford." Casey said, although more to himself than to April. It indeed was tough being a kid in the streets in such a tough neighborhood, even more so that Casey took it upon himself to take the vigillette lifestyle.

"Hey, I was always told it was the thought that counted." April answered him as she took a bite out of her sandwhich to display her satisfaction to Casey's attempt at a date. "So it's nice to see you dressed for the occassion..." She looked over with a chuckle looking at his usual painted, raggid, hoodie around. Which made Casey look back over to her.

"Yeah well, I was always told to never hide who you are. You should never be afraid to feel you should hide behind a...mask."

His last word made April choke down the last bit of sandwich in her mouth. Not sure if he was referring unintentionally to the turtles, or if he simply forgot that he did the same thing on a regular basis, but he soon chuckled himself. "Sorry, guess I should've used another saying." As he looked over seeing April still struggling to swallow the sandwich in her mouth down. "Easy Red." Casey told her as he got on a knee and started patting April on the back and rubbing it trying to soothe it, until she stopped and caught her breath.

However, their moment was quickly halted when they both heard someone clearing their throat as they both snapped their heads up as they both were within arms reach of each other seeing three mutant turtles in front of them, with one in orange waving awkwardly, giving a Trissur cat grin staring at them in their awkward position.

"April? Casey?" Leo questioned to the two of them, as they looked at each other and tried to causally shake the scene off as April messed with her hair and Casey dusted himself off.

"Heh...swell timing." Mikey joked around which was followed by a smile from Raph, but it was quickly halted when Raph looked down and saw that their action wasn't all done. Raph and Leo saw the two holding hands which lead Raph to ponder.

"April...you and Casey are..." Raphael hesitently led on. But Casey was quick to jump on that question.

"Together? Yep, even April O'Neil couldn't withstand my sure awesomeness." Casey told Raph as he pulled April his arm with comfort.

"So, does "You know who" know?" Leonardo chimed in asking to April.

"I'm standing right here..." Came the responce from two different people, as April, Leo, and Raph looked to both Mikey and Casey blurted out a response, of course neither one of them was who Leo was referring to as he looked straight ahead, figuratively piercing the girl's eyes in front of him, April knew who Leo was asking about as she slipped out of Casey's grasp.

"No...Donnie doesn't know." April told Leo, which sent Casey a bit to her responce.

"You never told him Red? You told me you were gonna tell him weeks ago." The disappointed teen complained. But April curled her arms around expecting his responce, he didn't understand.

"I wanted to Casey..." April started as Casey stepped back, then came up to her and put a arm around her as she tried to fight her emotions on the matter. "...but every time I tried, he'd bring up my dad, and finding a cure for the mutagen, it would have been awful to tell him then. But I'll tell him the next chance I can." April assured Casey, but Leonardo felt the time was now to tell her why the three of them were there.

"Well, Donnie's almost finished the retro-mutagen. He wants you there to see it." Leo told them in a meloncholy tone, which led to a sigh from the girl.

"So much for telling him now." April moaned.

"That's too bad...he was gonna propose to you too..." Mikey sadly said out loud.

Then the place went quiet, a glass shattering moment as they were all deathly silent, some jaws were open, all eyes were bug-eyed, just as Leonardo started to steam before turning to his little brother.

"It was a joke Mikey!" Leonardo yelled out and then started chasing Mikey down off the rooftop as he felt like he litterly wanted to inflict harm on his orange banded brother. After the two were gone, only Raph, Casey, and April were left on the roof of the building, only acompanied by a random gust of wind.

April finally spoke up.

"I don't want to know do I?"

"No you don't." Raph replied in an instant and then pulled April along to follow him back to the lair, as Casey followed behind. Ah, brotherly love was as strong as ever. As Raph continued to lead April along, Casey walked back up next to his girlfriend to tell her something.

"I know you don't wanna hurt Ole' Don Boy Red, but what's gonna happen if he finds out of his own?" Casey told her, and those words struck hard. They stung because they were true. She knew she had to tell him soon, but with everything that had happened in their lives, when could she possibly tell him?

And it's not like the sooner she told him, the better either. In fact, the sooner she told him now, the worse off they all might be.

So there's Chapter Two, for the Donnie fans, don't worry, I haven't forgot about our fourth hero. He'll show up next chapter. :) Reviews are more than welcome, I'd love to see how you guys think of the story. Next chapter will be up soon. So until then, thanks for reading!
