Hope you enjoy!
On to the fic!
10.1 -Batman V Superman Cont from 9.5, roundabout requested by Dragon Man 180
After retreating to the Batcave and convincing a very confused old man that no they were not fighting anymore, Raph and Leo began to do some research about the world they were now in.
"The one time Mikey's comic-geek knowledge would actually come in handy." Raph grumbled as he finished typing in the unnecessarily long password to the computer "He'd probably use whoever he was and take over the damn hero-ing for everyone." Leo shook his head, but there was a smile on his face.
"Who are the biggest threats filed there?" the blue and red wearing turtle asked.
Raph hummed and typed in a few commands. Instantly several hundred files appeared on the massive screen, but one stood out with its red text. Clicking on it, Raph read aloud "The Joker." he huffed "Doesn't sound so bad, how tough can a clown be? You've seen Mikey at those kids parties right?"
Leo, however, was busy reading the file and arched an eye-ridge "Seems pretty tough. This clown has apparently nearly destroyed this city more times than anyone can count, and according to this newspaper clipping, apparently, you're the only one who's ever been able to put him in jail, though he keeps breaking out."
Raph tilted his head, and then a slow, determined smirk settled over his face "Well then, what say you we go earn us a little vacation time by convincing him to stay put for a while?"
Leo crossed his arms and gave Raph 'the look'. Raph laughed "Nothing big Fearless, just...a little scare. Ninja style. We spy on him, and when he starts getting ready to bust out, we spook him. Convince him that out here's tryin' to get him or somethin'."
Leo's frown deepened, so Raph continued, "After we can do the same for some of the others on this list, we scare all the major villains into hiding in jail, and the world's a lot safer, that's good right? All fine for yer morals?"
Leo rolled his eyes, but relented "Let's try it on Joker, if it works...then we can talk."
10.2 - SAINW
Leo was at the point in the baseline where he and Raph were supposed to meet for the first time in almost fifteen years. His loops were almost always long, except the one when he tried to track down Don. That loop had ended in a pretty fiery explosion, and he'd then ended up in a sort of zombie apocalypse world where he was literally the only one left alive.
Needless to say, he hadn't tried to find Don again. He always smiled when he first sensed the younger Donnie though. He was always good to be around. Cleansing, almost.
This loop he was blind again, but thanks to all of the loops he'd now gone through, he'd gotten pretty good at sensing things and 'seeing' them. Waiting in the corridor where Raph would be stalking through at any moment, Leo checked once again that it was empty of Rebels. He always felt awkward when they watched his and Raph's 'first' interaction. He'd mostly gotten over their bad blood, especially after meeting the other version of Raph in that odd Limbo-like world. That Raph had radiated irritation, and some anger yes, but...he seemed more annoyed with Leo than angry. Probably because everything was so strange now.
But then...Raph didn't come. Frowning, Leo began to walk down the hall, trying to figure out where his brother had gone. Had he chosen this loop to go into a different hallway? That had happened several times. Actually, the way Raph entered the rebel base was different in each loop. Leo had thought he'd worked out Raph's near-random system, but perhaps he hadn't. If that was so then he'd just have to track down his red-wearing brother later. Now he had to get to the meeting before he was late and Donnie and Mike decided he wasn't coming.
Slipping into the meeting room, Leo's lips twitched as he heard Donnie's gasp, and knew that the younger version of his brother was still not Awake. Maybe soon, but for now he had to continue as he had.
"Raph not coming?" Came Mike's gruff voice. April frowned "He..he said he would come. Let's wait a few more-"
"No need." Leo turned his head sharply, trying to work out how Raph had entered the room without his noticing. Raph continued, and Leo tracked his voice, listening to him move from the door to stand next to..him. oh great.
"I got here early, needed ta work out some stuff. And yet ain't nobody here can explain to me why I got memories of dyin' in my head. I thought it was some kinda new gas from Shredder. Now, I ain't so sure."
Leo tilted his head "Memories of death? Swords across the stomach?" he'd managed to work out how they all died by taking a loop waiting to die until he saw the others. He'd tried not dying, but the Loop had ended right after Donnie vanished. Though it was nice to see Shredder finally defeated, most times it was just easier to take the swords. Raph growled "How'd you-" Leo shook his head "Not now..." he paused, trying to figure out his words, and deciding that most of the people in the room would forget about it soon enough, Leo continued "I'll tell you next time."
Raph made a noise between a dying whale and a growling tiger "Next time? I ain't goin' mad?"
Leo shook his head "No. And...Raph..." he adjusted his head so that he was looking where he thought Raph's eye was "It was my fault. I should have found a way to save him."
Raph was silent, but from the emotions rolling off of him, Leo knew that he was at last forgiven.
10.3 - MB
April woke up at the point in the Loop where her computer was being hacked by Donatello, expecting the usual message, April started to close it, when the text started and she could only stare.
'My brothers think I'm crazy but I think you'll know what I mean when I say, you already know where to go, and why we want you. Be there, come alone.'
April stared at the screen, which had just turned black, and a slow smile slid across her face. Reaching for her communicator that the small version of Donatello had given her, April typed in the Prime turtle's number. They'd started contacting him when turtles (and people) woke up since he was apparently the source dimension, and he'd done a good job of spreading the news across the dimensions. "Hey, Leo? It's the Anchor April, yeah. My Donatello's awake."
She nodded, even though he wouldn't see it "Yeah he's the only one from what I can tell."
Humming, April stood and headed for the door. "Sure thing." Pulling the communicator away from her ear, April closed the connection and started a new call, this time to the Donatello who'd given her the phone.
"Hi, Donnie?" she said, making her way out of the apartment "Yeah I need a communicator in my world as soon as you can...I sent you a pic of the turtle its for, the one with the goggles and tech on his shell." she smiled "Yeah it's my you."
She rolled her eyes "Oh my goodness Donnie! Give him some time to adjust before you kidnap him to your 80's lab! For heaven's sake, it's 2014 here!"
10.4 - Rise
Leo could only stare at the short Raphael standing before him. The angry looking turtle was even shorter than Mikey, a fact of which he didn't seem to be happy about. "So let me get this straight, you're Raph."
The green-eyed turtle nodded, scowling even deeper. "And you aren't the leader?" A small glimmer of...fear? something. A glimmer of something appeared in his eyes. "No," he said, voice giving no room for further questions on the matter. Leo shrugged, and moved on "So...who's the leader in your world?"
Raph gave him a weird look "You." he said. Leo blinked and then snorted. Before long he was leaning against the wall of the contamination room full on laughing. "Trust me little Raph, I'm not the leader type. Don, I could believe, if he's less of a snark in your world, but me? Nooooooo." he shook his head "So tell me, what's your me like? Because he can't be like me if he's the leader. I've got to be wayyyyy more chill than him."
Raph snorted "That's one word for it." he grumbled. "So if you won't be leader, and I won't be leader who? Master Splinter?"
Leo blinked down at the shorter turtle (wow it was weird being taller than Raph) and said, "Yooou haven't seen Dad yet have you?" Raph frowned and shook his head.
Leo sighed "Well then, in that case, come on. We can probably pick up some of Raph's cheesy leadership books from his room."
10.5 - 2012
A massive spike-shelled turtle with a sharpened tooth sticking out of his lip looked down at Karai, and for a brief moment she thought it was Spike, the turtle Raph had told her about, then she saw the red bandana. And the likely useless bandaid on his shell. "You've got to be kidding me," she grumbled. "Let me guess, you're Raph."
The turtle smiled awkwardly and nodded "Yup, does this have anything to do with the weird time glitch thing going on? Because I just did last week again, 'xcept I thought it was just some new baddie, like in Mikey and Leo's comics, but then I woke up here with some really weird memories, and Leo's tryin' to lead, and I'm starting to get confused."
Karai arched a brow "Just now?" The massive version of Raph shrugged "Eh I've seen some weird stuff. Like Oozsquitos, you don't have those here, do you?" Karai shook her head "No, we're clear of...whatever those are." she looked over him again and said, "So you're from the world with the Leo with the teleporting sword, right?" Raphael nodded his confirmation. Karai's brow climbed higher up her face "And he's not the leader?" Raph frowned and shook his head.
"Well, that explains a lot."
And that's a wrap!
10.1 - Dragon Man mentioned that Leo and Raph as Superman and Batman could totally whoop the villains' rears and scare Joker into staying in jail. Time to test that xD
10.2 - I'm not crying you are. Also, Raph's awake
10.3 - MB Donnie's up. And '87 Don is absolutely kidnapping him to his '80's lab'
10.4 - This one's kinda self-explanatory isn't it?
10.5 - Oh yeah Rise Raph's awake. I thought about waking up another '12 turtle, but then I figured that would be too similar to when '12 Mikey and '03 Raph woke up in the original so *shrug*
Remember to request!
