Naomi was starting to get frustrated. Being waited on hand and foot sounds nice and appealing, but in reality just means you're not allowed to do anything...anything.
She has yet to make it to the bathroom once in four days without being carried by any of the turtles.
Trips to the bathroom would have been fewer had her monthly red dot hadn't decided to show up. The first time she tried she didn't even make it past the sitting position before being scooped up by Mikey and asked where she wanted to go.
The second time she was pushed back down gently by Don, who had come to check up on her, and insisted that her sore muscles needed rest. The third time she was already annoyed, so when Raph had lifted her without a word and set her down in the bathroom, she was about ready to scream.
Everytime she reached for the remote, a glass of water, or generally anything out of reach. Someone magically appeared beside her and grabbed it before she could so much as get close.
Mikey had become like a gopher, Raph stayed close, whether to make sure she stayed put or to be there when she needed something, she wasn't sure. He had been silent since he and his brother's had convinced her to stay.
And then there was Donnie. The four eyed turtle worked nearly non-stop in his lab and was currently drilling away. Besides the coffee breaks where he'd also check in on her, he was always in his lab.
She knew Mikey to be a jokester, and Donnie to be a techie. Raph was seemingly broody, but she knew someone was missing. The room she was staying in was completely furnished with personal belongings, a trekkie apparently if the bird of prey model she found under the closet was any indication. She wouldn't bring it up though, just in case it was a touchy subject.
The noise of Raph hitting his punching was starting to get to her, it didn't bother her like Donnie's drilling, but his squeaky chain was. As well as Mikey's incessant chatter about whether or not she was comfortable, or needed anything. She swears if he asks one more...
"You ok? You need anything? How bout I just..."
"No, I'm not okay." She turned and glared at MIkey's shocked face. "Can I just yell for a moment, because I am severely frustrated. You know why?"
"Because...your hormones are rampaging? I think?"
Naomi kept from smiling at his unsure answer, and the way he ducked his head as if she was going to hit him.
"I'll admit, partly. But mostly because I can't do a freakin thing without one a y'all's help, when I really don't need it. My body is done resting, and I need to MOVE. I don't need anybody carrying me to the bathroom, I can do it myself."
She watched as Mikey shook his noggin rapidly. "Understood."
"RAPHAEL." The squeaking and rhythmic thuds stopped. "Oil that dang thing, you're gonna give me a headache. DONATELLO!" The drilling drew to a halt. "Put down whatever your doing, and get your but in here, you too Raph!"
She waited until each brother was by the couch watching her before attempting to stand. Each turtle tried to reach out and prevent her from doing so, but a firm glare stopped them in their tracks.
She stood and stretched her upper body for a good minute before heading to the kitchen. "I'll be making lunch, so deal with it."
The brothers glanced at one another before Raph went off to take care of the chain on his punching bag, Mikey sat silently in the kitchen, and Donnie decided to wait til after lunch before he started up on his project again. Donnie looked at the clock and realised he'd need to start his shift soon.
Mikey watched as Naomi prepared a doz. eggs to boil.
"I'm sorry for yelling, but I couldn't take much more of the codling."
Mikey just nodded when she turned to look at him. He could remember what April was like when she lived here. He hadn't even known why her hormones would suddenly go all whacko, he just learned to hide some days and always carry chocolate. It wasn't until she left that master Splinter explained why. Man, he sure was glad he was a dude, not so much on the turtle part though. The smell of blood still set him and his brothers on edge, but it was the constant drop and rise in hormones and sometimes pheromones that really made them uncomfortable.
Oddly enough, her's was a little better than April's, and wasn't harsh on their nostrils. The pheromones however, were a different story. Just last night he could smell her all the way from Leo's room. Whatever she had been dreaming about must've made her really happy. It made him happy too.
Raph had gone back to his room to think, man a lot's happened. He went from dying hope to an actual chance for romance, with his tenshi no less. He could still remember what it felt like, when her fingers ghosted over his plastron. And when she gave him that glare, he couldn't help but think she looked cute when she was mad. Her bottom lip slightly stuck out, begging for attention. He had to admit though, she had gull to pull what she did, she must'a really been frustrated.
He felt a little guilty for that, and majorly so for ultimately putting her on that couch and in Don's lab to begin with. He had talked it over with his sensei already, and was trying to come to terms with the fact that he couldn't of done anything more. He brought her here, saving her the first time and the second. He just prayed he wouldn't have to do it again.
Raph plopped into his hammock, one leg hanging over the side as he swung lazily, mind elsewhere. He remained that why til Naomi called him down with a..."Lunch is done!"
A/N: Somone asked which specific turtles these were, so I'll give a brief explanation.
Splinter was Hamato yoshi's pet, until he died.
The turtles were lab experiments like in the 2k14 movie, that's why in my mind they look it as well. They were apart of one of Bishop's experiments for super soldiers, not Sachs. So when one scientist finds out, he burns the place down. Instead of April, the scientist' son saved the turtles.
Then TCRI, blind man unwisely walks into the road, baby turtles fall down the drain. And VOILA! 2k14 turtles, 03 storyline.
