Hey y'all... Welcome back to Relative Mischief. Sorry if I seem a bit out of it... I have a lot of things going on right now. I'm about to lose my job, I'm looking for a new one... But I won't let that stop me!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story idea.

Raphael sat there, shocked. He was truly adopted? Leo and them weren't his brothers? Splinter wasn't his father? These questions and more filled his head, but they were over shadowed by another question: If all of this was true, then who were his REAL parents? Mikey gently shook his shoulder. "Raph?" the youngest turtle asked tentatively, worried. Raph at first didn't react, then suddenly was on his feet and running. "RAPH!" said Leo, shocked. Splinter sighed and his ears lowered, having known this might happen.

Raph ran. He ran all the way to his secret room, then ran past it after gathering his little robots friends. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew he wanted to get somewhere quiet to think. He eventually found himself in an old abandoned subway and sat on the rotting bench, sighing. He thought back on everything he had heard, the questions returning to him. Suddenly he remembered the first time he had been discovered in his secret area, as well as the feeling of knowing Tony Stark.

Raph thought more about, putting that feeling together with his love of tinkering. As he thought more he also added up his magic and remembered that T'Chlla had told him Tony was engaged to Thor's brother Loki, who was known for his sorcery. Suddenly, everything began to click and come together in the green-eyed turtles mind. His tinkering and magic weren't just random; they were hereditary. Were Loki and Tony his true parents? Had he secretly been a Stark this whole time? It all began to make sense.

Raph put more pieces together in his mind. It wasn't just the tinkering and magic that made him believe he was Loki and Tony's child. He had seen Tony and noticed that the man was quite fit, just Raph himself. He noticed a puddle nearby and looked into it, his emerald eyes staring back at him and seeming to glow slightly in the dark. Tony didn't have green eyes, but instead had brown. Tony was a human as well, so the fact that Raph was a humanoid turtle with green eyes didn't make sense unless...

"Penny for your thoughts?" said a smooth British-sounding voice. A pair of fancy-looking boots found their way into Raph's line of sight. Slowly looking up Raph saw the person was wearing a fancy and regal set of black and emerald green robes. Raph looked all the way up to find a pale man with slicked back black hair and... Raph's eyes widened slightly when he found himself looking into a pair of emerald green eyes, just like his. "... Mother?" asked Raph uncertainly.

Loki smiled softly. "Hello, my son..." he said, hugging Raph when the turtle jumped up and hugged him. "You've grown so much... We have much to discuss..." "Yes, we do..." said a voice, causing both Raph and Loki to look up and come face to face with Tony Stark. "Let's take a walk, shall we?" he said, smiling as he gestured to some nearby stairs. Raph nodded, slowly following Loki and Tony. The three eventually ended up walking the streets of New York near Stark Tower, Raph having been given a trenchcoat and hat to hide what he was.

"I... can't believe this... why did you guys... how...?" Loki chuckled. "We'll start at the beginning..." he said, him and Tony then telling Raph about the fight between Loki and the Avengers, Loki being captured, and the two eventually falling in love. Raph discovered Loki could shapeshift, realizing that was the reason why he himself had the appearance of a humanoid turtle because Loki had shapeshifted into a turtle at one point to protect Raph, who hadn't been born yet. He also found out that the reason they had supposedly abandoned him was because they were afraid of what Loki's father, Odin, would do if he found out.

"Wow... so, this whole time... Splinter really was trying to protect me..." Raph said, feeling bad for running out like he did. "Yes... and we are extremely grateful that he took you in..." said Tony, smiling. "What about SHIELD?" "SHIELD? Oh! Them! To be honest, after I saw you the first time I asked them to help look for you... Guess they took things too far..." said Tony, shaking his head. "But now, you have a choice to make Raphael..." said Loki, both him and Tony becoming somber. "What do you mean?" asked Raph, frowning. "As my son, you are a Prince of Asgard... yet, as Tony's child as well, you are the heir to Stark Industries... You have to make a choice: You can live in Asgard with your grandparents and uncle, or you can stay here in Midgard with us and your adoptive family..." said Loki, glancing at Tony.

"... I-" Raph was cut off when T'Challa suddenly landed on a dumpster nearby. He sat up and rubbed his head before noticing them, wearing his Black Panther suit. "Men, we have a problem..." he said, pointing up. Following where his finger was pointing they found themselves staring at a man with a full black beard, glowing red eyes, and wearing some sort of black and dark red safari-style outfit with a matching hat, holding a large knife and smirking evilly. "'Ello there..." he said in an Australian accent and holding up his knife. "Ready to meet Sharpy?"

I'm sorry, I had to! Anyone who gets that reference at the end is officially awesome in my book! I'll be honest, I almost lost motivation to continue this... I was actually thinking about putting it on hiatus or even cancelling it... I'm still not as motivated as I used to be with this story, but I think I know why: I don't know if you guys still like the story or not. If you guys do, I'll finish it. If not, I'll cancel. Please let me know.

Until next time, Icy is out!
