Author Note: Here's the second and last group of fifty. Like with the last one, it is mostly 2003 verse with a couple or so of 2007 verse. There is a SAINW in there, and I know one direct quotation that is from the movie. I also changed a couple of sentences to include April and Casey since they are as much as part of the family as the guys are. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Don't own them. Just use them.
Blood
Trying to ignore Donnie's one raised eye ridge and the 'told you so' look on his face, Leo reluctantly admitted that maybe he was a little dizzy from blood loss after he nearly fell face first to the floor.
Fair
There was no court of law or legal justice system that would avenge his brother's death, so he would just have to make his own justice and hope his brother's soul would be satisfied with that.
Dive
Master Splinter was dripping wet and perhaps a mite frustrated to discover that young turtles could learn how to swim almost instantly if they needed to, but relief and a smile grudgingly showed on his face as his son quite unexpectedly came about a new love for swimming.
Clown
Mikey beaming looked right at Raph's huge guffaws and then left at Donnie's small chuckles, but the one he was most concerned with was Leo in front of him who was biting the edges of his mouth in an effort to keep from smiling because that meant success.
Interpret
An accomplished scholar in many languages, Donatello prided himself in understanding Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Leonardian, Raphaelese, Michelangelish, limited American Sign, a small bit of French, Russian, and various other assorted languages.
Grit
If he were ever to get stuck in an old zombie movie, Mikey knew he wanted to be with Raph who probably would be the guy with the shotgun and the not-quite-but-almost- insane drive to not get his brain or anyone else's brain eaten.
Loophole
"You never said keep them unmoving in one place while I go on some suicide mission by myself; all you said to do was watch them, and I did keep a close watch on them as they ran right after you."
Pain
The fact he still felt aches in the place where his lower arm should be even though he had lost it more than a decade ago was something Michelangelo had always thought as a constant remainder of the painful past.
Example
Leo was on that maddeningly high white pillar with the hallelujah chorus in the background; a shining model of perfection and what we would probably never be.
Faint
She never really was that kind of gal who went through life screaming and fainting- okay, maybe she had done her fair share of that- but she also wasn't the girl to run away or abandon her friends when things got ugly.
Preserve
The abrupt flashes of light, the thunder shaking and echoing in the tunnels, and the roar of rain water flooding through and beating against the sewer walls were all parts of summer storms that scared him, but he could always take comfort in the protective walls of his home and the arms of his brothers as they huddled together and waited out the storm.
Soul
'Eyes are windows to the soul' was said by his oldest brother's namesake, and Donatello knew that was a perfect argument against anyone who claimed he and his family were soulless creatures unfit to live in the world of the humans.
Fable
Everyone, or at least Michelangelo, thought that it was inevitable; there had to be a race between Leo and Usagi because it would be of epic awesomeness and was just was so obvious that it had to happen.
Sight
When Master Splinter lost his hearing to old age, he was now able to detect the most minute blurs of movements and decipher them with hardly a glance of the eye; his already strong sense smell heightened to such proportions that now he could smell multiple things to the last centimeter, and he could feel the slightest trembles that were caused by quiet steps, but it still was not hearing, the greatest tool of a ninja.
Annoy
Raph thought that breaking Mikey's jaw accidentally in training had been the best thing he had ever done, but then the guilt set in every time he looked at Mikey's miserable face, and then it was so quiet that the old adage 'it's too quiet' came into play, and he became as twitchy and paranoid as Leo was.
Monster
The smoke didn't completely hide Leo, but the little boy reassured him that his mommy had told him not to be afraid of firemen and that he wasn't scared of how he looked.
Climb
Leonardo vowed that he would be the Master who could be found without the joy of scaling some high, treacherous, remote mountain slope like all of his other fellow Masters seemed to insist on having their would be pupils do regardless if it helped 'build character'.
Require
There was never really much expected of him, but that didn't serve as an excuse for anyone to count him out in a rough scrape; he would always come through when he was really needed to.
Usual
We strike hard, defend and protect and fade into the night and there ain't no bad guy or monster that gonna ever change that.
Compassion
Leo told Karai that protecting his family didn't allow for sympathy, but Mikey could barely think of anyone kinder or more likely to be a victim of self-sacrifice or more determined at seeing the good in others.
Disgust
The looks of hatred and revulsion never really leave your memory especially if they are directed at you.
Intelligence
When Raph did changes to his bike based on gut feelings that he, himself, wouldn't have thought to do, Donnie didn't doubt the judgment call; sometimes you just know things.
Bright
Sometimes there was that shining moment where Donnie thought of how brilliant his little brother could be if he really dedicated himself, but then Mikey would say something stupid or trip over his own feet, and Donnie would realize that is was pure dumb luck and that there really was no hope for him after all.
Metaphor
They were shadows; feared for their mysterious, different ways, but nurtured and raised from a lighter, gentler source.
Final
The Foot permitted him one final request before they executed him, but of all his requests they only allowed him to make one five minute phone call to his family to say goodbye.
Location
I demanded to know where he was being held when we got that phone call, but he just laughed sadly and said goodbye before hanging up.
Wait
He sat alone in his prison cell awaiting a closely approaching death, but he did it without sorrow or fear because he knew his family was coming for him.
Seek
We searched everywhere and when we didn't find him, we searched everywhere again because he didn't have much, if any, time at all.
Knock
The old rat father felt more happiness than ever before when a soft noise sounded at his door, and the door opened to reveal his used to be captive son returning home to him.
Progress
He kept telling himself over and over that he was almost home and that he could make it, and after the five hour punishing walk with a fractured leg and an unconscious brother on his back, he actually made it.
Decide
Roach was excited that the Purple Dragons had finally let him, their newest recruit, take on the Turtles, but he was a little confused as to why he and his fellow Dragons needed to use rock-paper-scissors to determine who went against who.
Thought
When Mikey suffered a temporary lapse of memory after a fight, you could see three white, wolf smiles shining in the darkness and everyone within a hundred yards of the alley felt a wave of fear ripple through their gut.
Fault
If I had to blame anyone for being the one that started us on the road toward going topside, it would have to be Donnie because he just couldn't be satisfied with our own little world underneath the ground; he wanted the sun.
Low
If one more challenger proclaimed they thought he would be taller, he was not only going to flip his lid but probably say something completely stupid and sarcastic and Mike-like along the lines of he forgot his elevator shoes at home.
Aim
He would never forget the first time his father and master pulled out the revered double katana and demonstrated the gentle deadliness of the blade by pulling a hair from his own head and letting the hair fall on the blade causing it to be neatly sliced in two pieces, and it was then that he knew that he himself would strive to be the kind of warrior who could be gentle and deadly at the same time.
Jerk
Much to the Master Splinter's chagrin, Michelangelo figured out that if one shuffled their feet or made unnecessary sounds in moving the rat master's ear would twitch instinctively towards the sound, and now not just one son could be caught shuffling their feet almost innocently around the house.
Zero
Donnie was trying to keep back the shaking as he told Raph that there was no chance he could survive, not with this much blood loss and this much internal damage, but when Raph looked him straight in the eye and exhaled a harsh whisper that could have been 'fat chance', Donnie knew that Raph would be okay.
Resemblance
They might look completely different, but they had Master Splinter's determination and strength of will and need to help those who were weaker than themselves, and that made them their father's sons more than any physical appearance could.
Relation
Casey looked up at his friends in a cage hung from the ceiling and then back down at the newest group of mercenaries who had just asked him a question for which he had only one response, "Of course I'm with these guys, you lowlife pieces of scum."
Maestro
Even though he was the co-owner of the most rapidly advancing technological company on this side of the galaxy, Donnie would still glow and blush at the smallest of compliments people would give him.
Stale
The air had that feel it gets when people haven't been there in awhile and that scared Leonardo more than anything when he came home to find his home destroyed and his family missing.
Implication
Mikey only innocently asked Donnie how this had anything to do with him as Donnie gestured flustered at the now unrecognizable pieces of machinery and then back at his presumably very guilty brother.
Reach
Anytime anyone, friend or enemy, mentioned the weakness in the shorter reach that the turtles had, they ran the risk of being placed flat on their back by the very same turtles that could fight just as well, if not better, in close quarters.
Conflict
One might describe the relationship between Leo and Raph as a conflict of interests, but then again, when did their conflicts cover just their interests?
Separate
It didn't make any sense that they had to leave and go out on their own to find their true selves when it had always been the four of them that had shaped each other.
Breach
It took a long time, too long Raph thought, to realize that taking a sledgehammer to the walls built around him and Leo wasn't the answer; he just had to knock and Leo would open the door for him.
Run
Sometimes it would be so easy to hop on his shellcycle and ride, ride so fast and so far away that all his problems could never catch up and find him, but fleeing had never really had been Raph's style.
Steal
Yeah, he could be the laughing and clueless one, but people trying to kill you could take away those personality traits, so Mikey kept them carefully hidden away when times required it.
Bend
Something Raph always admired about his brother Donatello was no matter how many buttons you pushed, he never snapped- unless of course you were pushing real buttons and not the figurative ones.
Embarrassment
Bishop looked out over the tepeed yard of the EPA and then at the note in his hands with a picture of a particularly annoying species of reptile and wondered once again about what the earth was coming to.
Author Note: Okay, maybe the last one was stretching it a bit, but I wrote that on April Fools, and it makes me laugh for- no real reason at all actually. As always, tell me what you think. New favorites? Grammar errors? If anyone wants to do this challenge as well feel free to PM me for the list, or Random Word Generator always works as well. I see this kind of story telling all the time in other fandoms, and it is pretty relaxing and fun to do. Thank you to all who took the time to read!
