I've posted several other new fics besides this one in the last few weeks if you're interested in checking them out. Enjoy, and R&R! (Read and Review for the Guest who asked in a comment!)

Donnie sat next to Mikey, who was currently fast asleep against the wall, head fallen back and snoring loudly. He rolled his eyes and slid down next to him, wincing and rolling his eyes.

So much for staying on guard, he thought fondly, and he let Mikey slump against his shoulder. There he sat, lost in thought, until a shrill squeak echoed the room behind him. Donnie blinked and jerked his head back, wrinkling his beak in frustration. "RAPH?" He jumped up immediately and bolted, leaving a very startled and now wide awake Michelangelo sitting alone.

"Wha-?" Mikey said, blearily rubbing his eyes.

Donnie wasted no time in skidding to a stop in front of Leo and Raph, and his eyes bulged out for a moment, staring at the figures in Leo's arms. "Is that...?" Whoa, Donnie thought, eyes still wide and roving with obvious curiosity. Two tails, two arms, four legs, one shell, TWO heads?

At Donnie's arrival, the little turtles freaked, and one of the heads clamped its mouth down on Leo's hand. With a gasp, Leo abruptly dropping them, and they scampered back underneath the table, using all four legs to propel itself away as fast as possible. Two pairs of blue eyes stared out in fear.

"I don't think the kid likes us very much," Raph snarked, crossing his arms. Donnie rolled his eyes and got down on his knees in front of the table, Leo kneeling beside him. Over his shoulder, Leo cast Raph a scathing glance, rubbing the bite on the back of his hand tenderly.

"It's KIDS," Leo chided. "There's two of them."

"Debatable," Raph muttered under his breath, so quiet Leo wasn't even sure he heard it right.

"Hey, it's okay," Donnie interrupted, speaking soothingly to the twins, not even bothering to get in the middle of his brothers' argument. "Don't worry, we aren't going to hurt you." The eyes blinked at him, but they didn't move.

Leo plastered on a big smile next to him. "Hi! My name is Leonardo, but you guys can call me Leo. What are your names?" He paused, waiting for the kids to tell him, but he was met with nothing but silence and distrustful glares.

Raph laughed. "Well, the kid definitely doesn't like you." At a pointed look from Donnie, he amended himself. "Kids."

"Well, what are we going to do with them?" Leo said, despondent. "We can't just leave them here!"

"We can't take care of a bunch of kids!" Raph said, waving a hand wildly about. "We already take care of Mikey!"

"Leo's right; we have to take them with us. Sensei will know what to do," Leo decided. He looked over his shoulder at the nearest window, brow furrowed in nervousness. The sun was rising, and the faint sounds of busy New York life were starting to grow.

Donnie turned his attention back to the twins. "Hey, guys. We need to go now. Can you come out of there?" He was met with the same closed off stares. "Please?" Still, nothing.

Leo hummed with pity before slightly pushing Donnie out of the way. "Maybe they'll listen to me. Not everyone has the right touch!"

Raph smirked. "What makes you think you have it?" Leo glared at him over his shoulder before giving himself a go.

"Listen, we have to get out of this lab before these people come. Humans. They'd take us away, and we don't want that. Will you-" Leo clamped his mouth shut as the right head whimpered and snuggled his face in the crook of hid sibling's neck.

"Leo, you scared him!" Donnie looked appalled, and Raph stifled another snicker.

Leo flushed, cheeks burning, and he stood up and dusted off his knees. "I'd like to see you do better, Raph," he sniffed. "If I don't have the right touch, you sure as shell don't!"

Raph snorted. "Oh yeah? Let's see!"

Donnie stood up and stepped back beside Leo, allowing Raph to take his spot on the floor. He leaned in close to Leo's ear and whispered. "I'll bet you a pizza they'll listen to him."

"Why would you say that?" Leo whispered back, a little confused as to why Donnie would bet on Raph and not him.

Donnie smirked. "Because you weren't able to."

Leo glared at him. "You're on!" They shook hands and both turned around to watch Raph work his magic; Donnie's smirk grew with each passing second. Clearly Leo didn't know as much about Raph as he thought he did.

"I'm Raph." Raph had already started speaking in a soft, warm voice. It still had his trademark gruffness, but not it sounded more kid friendly, and Leo silently smacked himself for not being as calm. "Listen, we know that you two were being held here by the Kraang." At the mention of 'Kraang', the twins shrank back a little, and Raph held up a hand to stop them. "No, no, no! It's okay, we got them all. And I promise, we won't ever let them get you again." Eyes still locked on theirs, Raph adjusted his position so he was sitting cross-legged, and he leaned forward as if to whisper a secret. The twins, as if by magic, mimicked his position, and Leo's jaw dropped.

"No way," Leo whispered, and Donnie cackled into his ear.

Raph had whispered something else, something hidden by Donnie's laughter, and he held out a hand palm up towards the twins. "Will you come with us?" As the twins turned their heads to face each other, a silent conversation going on in their eyes, Raph and Donnie both turned to Leo with identical smirks.

Leo slipped out a wad of dollar bills from his belt and passed it to Donnie. "Well, there goes Mikey's money for pizza," he grouched, and Donnie smoothly tucked half in his belt and the other half into Raph's second outreached hand.

Not paying attention, Raph jumped slightly as he felt something brush against his hand. He turned his head to find the two headed turtle standing in front of him, one of their hands in his. He smiled triumphantly, as gently as he could, and he stood up. The twins only came up to his thigh, and they cowered behind it as he turned to Leo and Raph.

"We need to go," Leo said, and Raph tugged on the their hand.

"We have to go now, okay? Can you run?" The kids blinked up at him, and when they didn't respond, Raph sighed and held out his arms like he was going to pick them up. They tensed when Raph put his hands on his shell, but when Raph paused they raised their arms up, wrapping their arms around his neck.

Donnie cooed at the sight. "Just wait until we get back home; I'll have to get my camera."

Raph growled. "Shut up," he said, but when the twins shrank back a little at his tone, he settled for just glaring over their heads. They were tucked plastron to plastron, his arms holding them up under their legs in a way that couldn't have been very comfortable for them. Each head was lying in a different crook of his shoulder; the one lying on his lightning shaped chip kept wrinkling his nose and squirming in distaste. "If I didn't have my hands full, I'd come over and smack that smirk off your face, Donnie," Raph said sweetly, forcing a smile and keeping his tone purposefully light as to not disturb them again.

Leo shook his head. "Let's get out of here! We still gotta warn Mikey."
