The four made their way out of the sewers below that they traveled through, finding themselves now blocks away from the lair. Donatello got out first, sliding the manhole cover up and out of the way and looking around the darkened alleyway. Making sure everything was clear, hearing nothing but the noise of the city streets echo through the bricks, he reached down taking Betty's hands in his lifting her out with one arm. She caught her bearings on his hard chest, finding her feet against the wet pavement and smiling up at him as he slid his hand up her arms, around her back.
"You OK?" He asked as she nodded, stepping out of the way so he could help Riley.
"I don't know what smells worse." Betty grimaced, taking a deep breath of New York city.
"What's that?" Donnie asked over his shoulder, holding his hand out for Riley as she took it climbing out of the manhole next.
"The sewer or New York itself." Betty said, scrunching her nose up as Riley chuckled behind her.
Mikey got out next, helping his brother as they both moved the manhole back into place. Betty and Riley both waited for them, leaning against the walls of the alleyway they stepping into. The noise of something vibrating caught Riley's attention as she looked over at her younger friend, who looked back at her.
"What's that?" Betty asked as Riley shrugged, looking around them for a moment.
"I don't know..." She mused, pulling out her cell phone that was in her back pocket. She felt the vibrations against her palm as she took out the bright green silicone wrapped cell phone. The face of the cell phone blinked rapidly, lighting up the small space and vibrating against Riley's hand as she watched the screen fill with notifications.
"Whoa..." She breathed, as both the brother's looked up at her together. Mikey quickly going over to her as she looked at him and Donnie with a grimace.
"What's wrong?" Mikey asked, looking over her shoulder at the cell phone screen now filled with over a hundred text messages, missed calls and voice mails. "Oh..." He said, looking over at Donnie.
"What?" He asked as Riley chuckled without humor.
"Uh, maybe we should have called Willow's mum, and Hayden, and Izzy...?" She asked, looking through her texts messages. "Yeah..." She dragged out. "Izzy and Maggie are gonna kill us." She sighed, dialing Maggie's number.
"Hello?" She heard the familiar voice say from the other end as Riley swallowed hard.
"Uh, hi Maggie." She said slowly hearing a sharp gasp on the other end.
"What happened? Where are you!? What happened to Willow!? Why hasn't anyone called me? I was worried sick with you girls and those damn boys! None of you thought to call us? I haven't slept in days waiting for a damn phone call from anyone!" She screamed on the other end of the phone as Riley held it away from her ear. Donnie and Mikey both winced, listening to the conversation.
"Um, which one do you want me to answer first?" Riley asked as Maggie sighed, exasperated.
"Don't be smart with me Riley Ann Nickles!" Maggie hissed as Riley winced at her full name.
"Everyone is fine. The boys are fine, Willow is perfectly fine and everyone is safe. Donnie had to put a dial blocker, thingy in the lair so no one could track out phones."
"Someone is trying to track your phones?"
"Well, it was a precaution." Riley shrugged as Donnie nodded. "We're, well... Donnie, Mikey, Betty and I are topside right now, we need clothes and some food." Riley shrugged, turning from the group and kicking at a pile of pebbles.
"Where are you all staying? The lair?" Maggie asked as Riley nodded.
"Yeah, the lair. We're safe down there. Leo got... Hurt, but he's feeling better and..."
"Got hurt how?"
"He was um... In a fight and just... Um, do you wanna talk to Donnie?" Riley asked, turning towards the geeky brother who sighed holding out his hand. Riley handed the phone over quickly before Maggie could answer.
"Maggie? Hi, it's Don." He said.
"Donatello, what on God's green earth is going on with my daughter and new son-in-law? Leo was in a fight? With whom?" She asked as Donnie sighed.
"It was a misunderstanding with old family... Friends." He shrugged as Maggie sighed again, clearly knowing he was hiding something from her.
"I am your family now Donnie, tell me what is going on. Straight answers, none of this pussyfooting bullshit." She said as Donnie sighed.
"I can't do that over the phone Maggie. I'm sorry. But, I can assure you that everyone is fine and I will take the blocker off the lair when we get back and you can talk to Willow herself, and Leo." He shrugged as Maggie took another deep breath.
"Fine. You promise me, on your life my daughter is OK?" She asked as Donne smiled.
"It would be my life is she wasn't." He shrugged as Maggie smile and he could hear it in her voice.
"Thank you Donnie. I love you, and those other knuckle heads. You call me as soon as you can, OK? Any hour, I don't care." She said as Donnie nodded.
"Not a problem Mags." He said as she said he good-byes. "Well, that was interesting." He said, handing Riley back her phone as she started texting back Izzy and Hayden.
"Never been yelled at by a mom huh?" Betty chuckled as Donnie shook his head.
"No, not particularly."
"Hayden has been at Willow's..." Riley said, furrowing her brow and not looking up from the screen.
"Why?" Mikey asked, looking over her shoulder as she typed furiously.
"To make sure to be there when we got back and to feed Boba," She said rolling her eyes. "Which is a nice way of saying he needed somewhere to stay and is squatting there until we get back." She said shaking her head. "Willow is gonna beat his ass." She sighed, holding the phone back to her ear as she dialed Willow's younger brother.
"Yell'ow." Hayden said on the other line.
"Willow is gonna murder you if you had sex in her bed." Riley said as Hayden gasped on the other end.
"Riley! Oh shit, are you okay? Is Willow alright? What about the guys? They're all good?" He asked just as quickly as his mother as Riley smiled a little.
"Yes everyone is fine..."
"Did you call my mum? She's been going crazy. I've had to drive down there so she didn't come here looking for you guys and get herself captures by some crazy ass Ninja or something. Tyler and I have been taking shifts." He said as Riley rolled her eyes, looking over at Mikey as he smiled.
"We're on our way to Willow's now. We're gonna stop off at Betty's dorms and then..."
"Is Willow with you?" He asked almost nervously as Riley sighed.
"No, but let me tell you something, if my apartment is a mess your sister and I will both kick your ass little boy. You better clean your shit up!" She said as Hayden chuckled.
"It looks fine." He shrugged as Riley snorted in disbelief.
"Uh, huh. I'm so sure. Get to cleaning. We'll be there shortly." She clicked the call off, dialing Izzy's number next. "I hate the phone." She grumbled as the four started to walk out of the alleyway towards Betty's dormitories.
"Isabella O'Hare." Izzy said in an extremely professional voice making Riley's eyes roll involuntary.
"Hey Iz." She said as Izzy sighed heavily on the other end.
"Where the hell have you all been? I've been worried sick. All of your things are back at Willow's place. I had to get everything out of the Hotel before anyone knew you were gone, before Zach did. Thank God he was drunk." She sighed as Riley smiled a little.
"Thank you Iz, Willow will appreciate that."
"What happened? Are you all okay?" She asked as Riley nodded.
"Everyone is fine. Leo and Felicia got hurt but, they're healing."
"Oh Jesus..." She hissed. "I'll come down to the lair later tonight, if that's okay?" She asked as Riley shrugged, looking over at Donnie.
"Izzy wants to come by the lair tonight, is that okay?" She asked as Donnie nodded.
"Yeah, ask her to bring some pain killers if she can." He said as Riley nodded.
"Donnie asked if you could..."
"I heard. I will. I'll call you before I get there. Where are you now?"
"We're actually topside, we're on our way to my place." She said as Izzy nodded.
"Oh good. I can meet you there in like twenty minutes is that okay?" She asked again as Riley agreed. They said their good-byes as Riley slipped her phone back into her pocket.
"We'll, it looks like you guys won't get the alone time you've been asking for." Riley said with a grimace as Betty just shrugged, grabbing onto Donnie's human hand.
"I think we'll be fine." She said walking ahead as Riley looked over at Mikey.
"Why can't they just do it in the lair?" He asked as Riley chuckled.
"They want alone time. Like, I don't know for it to be special or some crap." She shrugged as Mikey looked at her confused.
"Was our first time not special?" He asked as she leaned up to his beautiful human face, kissing his cheek.
"It was special to me. But, you're much different than Don. He's very..." She mused for a moment, watching the nerdy brother walking ahead of them. "Sensitive." She shrugged as Mikey stopped and looked over at her.
"I'm sensitive."
"Of course you are baby." She said, taking his hand and kissing it. "Just, not as much as Don. Or Leo actually." She chuckled. "You and Raph are very go with the flow kinda guys." She shrugged.
"What's wrong with that?" He asked with a shrug and solemn face as Riley smiled with a pout, kissing his lips softly.
"Nothing. That's why I love you. If you were sensitive I'd be more likely to call you a pussy and our relationship wouldn't be the same." She shrugged as Mikey laughed.
"That's true."
"Sensei, how are you feeling?" Leonardo asked as he entered Master Splinter's room. The strong, familiar scent of incense filling his lungs as he took a long breath in.
"I think I should be asking you this Leonardo." The old Rat said, his eyes closed as he sat on a pile of old pillows and blankets at the head of his room in lotus position.
"I am fine father. Just in need of some healing, which is coming along nicely thanks to Donnie." He shrugged as Splinter opened his eyes, giving his son and knowing look.
"Healing that you are not to be taken lightly my son. You have gone up against a great evil and your brother is dealing with the death by his hand. Both of you need to rest your minds on this and you know Raphael will need guidance. He does not take to opening up easily. You are the leader my son, you need to know when others around you are struggling."
"I don't think I am the best person for Raphael to open up too, you should know this from our years growing up together." Leonardo sighed, kneeling slowly to the hard bamboo covered ground before his father, holding his injured side as he went.
"But, grown you have. You are both older and wiser now, with love you care about and cherish. You as well as Raphael are still very headstrong but, you are loyal and brothers. You will talk to him and he will confined in you as his leader and his brother." Splinter said with a final nod as Leonardo sighed once more.
"It's not that easy Father, Raphael is..."
"I know what Raphael is, I have raised him as I raised you. You are both my sons and you are both to put differences aside. You are older now, not emotional driven teenagers and the fighting will come as it always does and that is something you already know to be true. Raphael is passionate, but beyond that he is loving and even beyond that he is your brother and he needs your help."
"It's the fighting that worries me." Leo said with a shake of his head as Splinter's nose twitched into a smile.
"A battle you have been fighting for years. Maybe it is time to end it Leonardo?"
"He never listens..."
"He will listen if you make him listen." Splinter said simply as Leonardo sighed again.
"I've tried that for years Sensei he still doesn't..."
"Do not use force Leonardo. Do not put your leadership before your brotherhood. He is apart of your team but, this time he will be your brother only. Scared and in need of an outlet to express what has happened. You need to be that outlet."
"Why can't you? You are better at it with him than I am, he always confines in you and..."
"Because Leonardo one day I won't be here and what of Raphael's emotions then? What of Michelangelo's? They need you as their brother. Their older, wiser brother who has been by their side for years as their leader but now, you are to lay your swords down my son. The fight is over."
"We don't know that for sure. The Foot could make a new leader. They could..."
"There is no leader for the Foot my son. They followed the delusions of Saki and then his daughter and both ended the same. The threat they fear in us will subside and the Foot will disband."
"How can you be so sure?"
"How can you not?"
"It's too soon to tell." Leonardo said with a shrug as Splinter smiled again.
"Always feeling the need to protect my son. What happens when they don't need your protection? Who are you then?"
"I am there brother." He nodded as Splinter did as well.
"Exactly. So, be that to them now. Think nothing of a threat, of a war, of a new leader. If it comes, it will come in time. For now you are to heal your family. Take care of your brother's and wife. Make a good husband and name for yourself."
"Why are you talking this way Sensei, is there something you're not telling me?" Leonardo asked, raising slowly to his knees as Splinter shook his head.
"I am old Leonardo. I am dying. Not today but, soon I will not be here and you all need to prepare yourselves for that day."
"But, it is not now or anytime soon so..."
"That we do not know my son. Life is an uncertainty. If there was anything I ever taught you it was that."
"Yes, but maybe Don can..."
"Donatello already knows what is going to happen. He is a man of science and facts and the fact is that I am old." Splinter shrugged as Leonardo sighed. "You will come to terms with this in your own way I know. Much like Michelangelo and Raphael but, when that day comes you need to be strong for them, for your wife and family."
"I will Sensei." Leonardo said with a bow of his head
"Good. Now, since I am not dead yet where are your brother's? I take it Michelangelo and Donatello are topside?"
"Yes, they left not that long ago." Leonardo said, looking back towards the door where he entered.
"They will be back and safe Leonardo."
"I hope you're right."
"When have I been wrong?" Splinter asked with a chuckle.
Betty walked into her dormitories with Donatello close behind her. She held up her ID badge to the kid sitting at the desk who gave them both a head nod as they walked past.
"He seems like he's very diligent." Donnie sighed, as Betty chuckled, looking back at him.
"Scared that someone is gonna come capture me?" She joked as Donnie's face took a very serious look. "Oh, yeah... I guess that's not funny huh?" She said as she opened her dorm room door. "It's okay, once this semester is over I will be moving in with Izzy." She shrugged as Donnie nodded, looking around her familiar room.
"So, how do you purpose we do... What we're going to do... Tonight?" Donnie asked nervously as Betty smiled, taking out a large purple and black zebra print bag.
"Don, you can say have sex." She said opening a draw and taking out some bras and panties.
"No, I don't think I can which seems to be apart of our dilemma." He sighed, sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Say it." She said turning towards him. He shook his head with a smile as she chuckled, rolling her eyes and stepping in between his legs. He placed his hands on her hips automatically as she leaned her small frame against his tall, lanky one. "Say it." She said, with a glare as he smirked a little.
"You're not very intimidating." He shrugged. She leaned down, pressing her mouth tightly to his and sliding her tongue between his parting lips. They kissed for a moment, her hands sliding up his long, strong arms to the back of his head where he let out a soft moan as she gripped the back of his mopy hair.
"Say. It." She said, tugging his head back to look at her as he took a shuttered breath, swallowing hard.
"Sex." He said slowly. "We're going to have sex tonight." She smiled, kissing his lips again.
"Wasn't so hard, right?" She asked, stepping away from him and going back to her bag.
"You understand what this entails right?" He asked, putting his hands on his lap and twisting his fingers together nervously.
"Usually it means that we have intercourse. Or coitus." She smirked, looking back at him as he shook his head with a smile.
"Yes, I know that but, what I mean is... Me as a... Turtle." He said softly. She turned to him, crossing her arms over her chest and tilted her head to the side.
"Is it going to be different? Willow said it's not." She shrugged as Donnie sighed.
"Well, I'm not really sure. But, since you were asking Willow did she mention anything else?"
"That you guys were big." She shrugged, turning back towards her bag, putting some tank tops and t-shirts into it.
"Okay..." Donnie said slowly.
"It'll probably hurt when you first, go in... But, after that it feels amazing." She shrugged, continuing to pack things away.
"You seem to know a lot about this." He sighed, looking around her room nervously as Betty chuckled.
"I have had sex before Don." She shrugged. "Grant you not a lot, but... Some, and that doesn't mean that you need to compare yourself with them because in my mind there is absolutely no comparison." She shrugged, turning to him again as he nodded his head. "I know you're nervous babe." She sighed softly, going between his legs once more and kissing his cheek, then his lips. "I want to do this, I want you and I want to be your first time. We will do this at your pace as slow or as fast as you want." She said, looking into his eyes as he nodded his head, looking back.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me Donnie. You deserve this and you need it..." She giggled. "And I need you." She shrugged, kissing him again before going back to her bag.
"You really think that Hayden is just staying at your apartment? Doesn't he have his own place?" Betty asked as the foursome made their way out of the elevator and towards Willow and Riley's apartment door.
"I don't know...Maybe he really is just there to feed Boba and do something responsible?" Riley chuckled. "He has his own place with Tyler in Brooklyn but, it's not the greatest area and or apartment." She said with a shrug. "Willow tried to warn them both that it wasn't a smart choice but Tyler is stubborn and Hayden is an idiot."
"Ya know, that is my best friend you're talking about." Mikey chuckled as Riley shrugged.
"What's your point?" She asked looking over her shoulder at him as he shrugged too.
"Nothing, just saying." Betty looked over at Donnie with a chuckle as he forced a smile back. She knew he was lost in his thoughts since they left her dorm. She smiled, putting her hand out and grabbed his, kissing his knuckles softly stopping in the hallway so Riley and Mikey would walk ahead. "Are you OK?" She asked as he nodded slowly. "No you're not, you're calculating." She said with a certain look as he sighed and nodded his head. "Sex isn't about math Don." She said in a whisper rolling her eyes.
"I know that. I am just... Weighing the options of..."
"Of what, missionary opposed to doggy?" She asked with a tilt of her head as Donnie's eyes widened.
"No!" He hissed at her, looking down the hallway at his brother who watched them with a smile, turning a corner towards Riley and Willow's apartment. "I just don't want you to get hurt." He shrugged as Betty sighed.
"Is Willow hurt?" She asked as he furrowed his human brow for a moment shaking his head. "Is Riley, is Felicia?"
"No...Well technically Felicia is hurt..." He started as she sighed, cutting him off.
"Then why would I get hurt?"
"I don't know, you're so small and..."
"I won't snap in half Don and Felicia and I are pretty much the same size. If Raph hasn't hurt her yet then I think I'm good." She chuckled, grabbing his hand to catch up with the others as Donnie rolled his eyes.
They rounded the corner to Riley and Willow's apartment with Riley and Mikey in the doorway being attacked by a chocolate lab standing on her back legs. Riley chuckled as Mikey held the whimpering pup in his arms, cooing at her as she wagged her tail.
"Oh Boba did you miss uncle Mikey? Yes you did." He said in a baby voice as the dog licked his face.
"We should bring her back to the lair, Willow will be happy and we'll know she's getting fed." Riley smiled, looking at Donnie as he and Betty approached. Boba barked out with a whimper, struggling to get out of Mikey's grasp and leap towards Donatello. The nerdy brother smiled at the excited animal, opening his arms as Mikey placed her in them. She then licked at his face, and reached for Betty as they both pet the dog.
"I've been feeding her." Hayden sighed, rolling his eyes as Riley looked over at him as he stood in the opened doorway of the apartment.
"Uh, huh."
"Well, we need to talk about what happened." Hayden said, opening his arm in welcome as everyone entered the apartment. Mikey and Don stopped short when they noticed a golden blonde sitting at the kitchen table, her hands folded neatly atop of the fake wood and a smile on her face.
"Um, hello...?" Donnie said in confusion, looking from Hayden to the girl.
"This is Heather." Hayden said as she waved with a smile. "So, what happened? Is everyone alright? I can't believe you guys didn't tell me what happened!" He sighed, taking a seat next to the girl at the table and drinking a beer that he had left there. Mikey grimaced to the comment looking over at Heather. Donnie eyed his brother for a moment before Mikey nodded and Donnie sighed. Riley and Betty watched the exchange between the two, looking at each other with shrugs.
"I think family matters would better be discussed with family." Donnie said sternly towards Hayden, nodding his head towards Heather as she smiled a little.
"Not to be rude, but um... Who are you exactly?" Riley asked, placing her bag on the table beside the girl as she moved her glass of wine out of the way.
"I uh, was at the wedding. I did your hair?" Heather said almost in a question, twisting the stem of her wine glass nervously as Riley snapped her fingers.
"I knew you looked familiar!" She chuckled. "It's nice to meet you officially Heather. Has Hayden been treating you OK?" She asked as Heather nodded her head, a flush going to her cheeks. "Awe, looket her blushing. Hay, she's way too good for you buddy." Riley chuckled as she took a seat at the table. Mikey looked towards Hayden, nodding his head to the girl as Hayden shrugged and Mikey sighed, rolling his eyes.
"I need to pack a bag for Willow and Leo for their honeymoon! Heather, come help me." Betty said, going over to the girl and taking her hand as Heather looked up at her confused, putting her glass of wine down.
"Oh, OK." She stammered, following after the black haired girl.
"You're an idiot." Mikey sighed taking a seat next to Riley as he watched the new girl and Betty turn down the hallway towards the master bedroom.
"What I do?" Hayden asked as Donnie shook his head sitting next.
"How are we to discuss what happened with your sister when there is a complete stranger sitting with us at the table?" He hissed as Hayden's mouth formed an 'O' shape.
"Dumb ass." Riley said shaking her head.
"What did happen?"
"We were attacked and had to lay low for awhile. Felicia got kidnapped at the wedding by the Foot. We're actually out to see if there has been any activity, you haven't noticed anything?" Donnie asked as Hayden shook his head.
"No, it's been quiet. April and Case came over yesterday to see if you guys had been by yet. I tried to ask them what happened but, they wouldn't tell me. I tried to call all you guys but, it said all your phones were disconnected."
"Oh right, the dial scanner. I need to shut that off when we get back to the lair." Donnie said, running a hand through his brunette hair.
"Dial scanner?"
"It mixes up cell phone signals so no one can track any of our phones when it's on. It just goes through the line as if it's disconnected." He shrugged as Hayden nodded.
"Right. Why don't you work for the government or somethin' I'm sure they'd love you."
"Anyways..." Riley sighed. "We've been recouping in the lair. Felicia's face is a little messed, and Leo got stabbed..."
"Leo got stabbed?" Hayden exclaimed loudly as Mikey, Riley and Donnie shushed him.
"Yes. He's doing very well though." Donnie nodded as Hayden sighed, sitting back in his chair.
"That's horrible." He said as Donnie nodded. "That's a crappy honeymoon. Mum has been crazy worried, so now I can at least call her. Willow needs to call her. She probably has a million messages on her phone." He sighed, shaking his head. "I can't believe this. The wedding was so beautiful and then, bam shit storm."
"She is a Hamoto now, that's kinda what we do." Donnie shrugged as Mikey nodded.
"You and Donnie make a really cute couple." Heather said with a smile at Betty from the other side of the bed as Betty gave a forced one back.
She was livid. If Hayden was staying at Willow's with this chick, how in the hell was she suppose to have sex with Don? Not that having sex in one of the best friend's beds was idyllic. Maybe, it was for the better? Maybe they needed to wait... There were other ways they could comfort each other tonight. Sighing to herself she folded a pair of Willow's jeans placing them inside the large knock off brand duffel bag she pulled out from under Willow's bed.
"You did a really good job singing too, you're very talented." She said with another smile as Betty looked up at her, trying to give her a genuine one back.
"Thanks. Is that how Hayden won you over? With his little Justin Timberlake impression?" Betty chuckled as Heather shrugged a little with a growing smile.
"I guess... But, I've actually known him for awhile. I have another job at the coffee place on sixth. He goes in there a lot and we always chat. We just got to know each other really well at the wedding when everyone kinda disappeared... What happened with that anyways?"
"Oh, that was nothing. A surprise the brothers put together for Leo and Willow." Betty shrugged thinking of something quickly as Heather nodded her head.
"Oh, yeah... I heard Leo was in a fight or something though? One of the caterers was talking about it?" She hedged as Betty shrugged.
"That's stupid." She laughed as Heather joined in with a nod.
"Yeah, gossip has a way of getting blown out of proportion."
"Indeed it does." Betty nodded, zipping up Willow's bag that was now filled with clothes and toiletries.
"I hope Willow doesn't think badly of me when she finds out I've been kinda staying here with Hayden? Not for very long or anything... Just a couple nights..." Heather said with a grimace as Betty shrugged.
"I'm sure as long as Boba is fed she'll be alright with it."
"Oh, I love her. She's such a little love." Heather smiled as Betty nodded. "We don't sleep in here either..." Heather said, nodding towards Willow's made bed. "Or Riley's room, we've been sleeping on the pull out sofa. It's really comfortable. More comfortable than my cheap futon." She chuckled as Betty joined in.
"Tell me about it." Betty said rolling her eyes. "Dorm beds aren't exactly luxurious." She said, grabbing the heavy bag and putting it over her shoulder. Heather nodded, grabbing another one of Willow's bags with toiletries and makeup in it. Both girls left the room as Betty whistled loudly.
"Boba! Come here girl!" She yelled out as the dog came bouncing in from the kitchen, leaping and tail wagging as they girls tried to make their way down the hallway. "Good girl." Betty said, reaching out and petting the dogs head.
"So, where is the honeymoon going to be?" Heather asked as she and Betty entered the kitchen. Betty eyed everyone at the table, landing on Donnie last as he smiled at her, nodding his head.
"We're all going actually, upstate. Willow's family has a cabin up there with a nice lake." Riley said with a shrug as Heather nodded.
"Yeah babe, maybe you and I can go next time?" Hayden said, looking at Heather as she went to the moppy blonde's side, leaning into him. She smiled, kissing the top of his head.
"That would be nice." She nodded as Riley smiled.
"Are you two going to be staying here long because we can always just take Boba with us?" Donnie asked as Hayden shook his head.
"No, she's good here. You guys won't be long, plus her dog food alone takes up most of Willow's car. With her bags and Leo's bags it's just too much. I can baby sit the little derp." He said, looking down at the panting dog as her tongue out from the side of her mouth. "Isn't that right derpy derp, yes it is!" He cooed as Boba's tail began to wag. "See, she's fine."
"Well, if you need anything you can call us." Donnie said, eying Hayden carefully as he nodded.
"Yes Don, I'll call you." He said with just as much emphasis as Mikey sighed, shaking his head.
"You're an idiot." He said to his best friend as Hayden chuckled. Boba's ears perked up from her head and she stood up, looking towards the door. Someone knocked at the apartment door as Boba let out a soft bark.
"That's Izzy." Riley sighed, getting up and going to the door as Boba followed close behind her. Looking through the peep hole first she noticed the red head woman, with a fashionable tank top and cardigan from the ending summer heat. "Hey..." Riley breathed as she opened the door to the woman with her arms crossed over her large chest.
"Hey, are you OK?" She asked, taking her friend in a tight hug as Riley nodded. "Good, so I can kill you now?" She asked with a smile as Riley snorted a laugh, pushing away from her friend.
"Try it Red." She said as Izzy chuckled, walking into the apartment.
"I've been to April and Casey's they'll be down at the..." She stopped, mid swing of her bag from her shoulder as she noticed an unfamiliar face at the kitchen table. Furrowing her brow she looked towards Riley as she rolled her eyes nodding towards Hayden. "You're an idiot." Izzy said, looking towards Willow's brother as he looked at her with a shrug.
"Why am I an idiot?" He asked as Mikey just put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Do I know you?" Izzy asked, tilting her head towards the blonde woman at the table as she nodded slowly.
"Y-Yeah you hired me to do the girl's hair at the wedding." She said, biting her lip nervously as Izzy nodded.
"Oh yes, Heather. You did very well. My father tipped you right?"
"I think Hayden took care of that." Riley chuckled as Izzy rolled her eyes.
"Anyways...What's the um... Plan?" She asked, looking towards Donnie and Mikey.
"Well, we're all going up to Willow's cabin upstate." Donnie said, turning towards the red head as she crossed her arms with a slow nod.
"Oh, I see."
"You and Zachary are more than welcome to join us, if you like?" Donnie added, with a pointed look as Izzy smiled with a nod.
"No, no. Zach and I have plans this weekend." She said, looking nonchalantly around the room. "I would however love to say good-bye to Leo and Willow at Leo's place, if that's alright?" She asked as Donnie smiled with a nod.
"Of course." He said as Hayden looked between the two confused. He opened his mouth to ask as Mikey put his hand back on his shoulder, giving it a hard squeeze.
"Don't be an idiot." Mikey whispered as Hayden looked over at him. "We better get going." He said, slapping Hayden a lot harder than normal on the back as Hayden fell forward on the table.
"Ow dude..." He hissed, standing up as Mikey rolled his eyes, pulling his friend in for a one armed hug. "Next time I won't have non family in a family discussion." He sighed in a whisper, rolling his eyes as Mikey pulled back with a smile.
"Good choice." He said as he looked over at Heather. "Nice to meet you."
"You too." She said with a blush as Hayden glared at his friend. "It was nice meeting all of you." She said, getting from the table to say good-bye. "Call us if you guys need anything or if Willow forgot anything." She shrugged as Riley smiled at her with a nod.
"Will do, thanks for looking after Boba." She said as Heather waved her off.
"Oh it's nothing. She's great." She said, looking down at the chocolate lab. Hayden placed his arm around Heather's shoulders as the now five-some left the apartment, large bags in toe.
"He's an idiot." Izzy sighed as they made their way down to the elevators. "Bring a girl back in the middle of all of this? Really? Moron..." She sighed, leaning against the side of the elevators as the rest of them entered.
"We should probably stop by Felicia's place too and get her some things, and feed Binx." Riley sighed, hiking Willow's bag higher on her shoulder. Donnie reached over and took it from her with a smile.
"Sounds good, we can stop at the pizza place across the street from her place. Get her stuff then get the pizza." Mikey said with a smile as Riley nodded kissing the handsome boy's cheek.
"What's going on with you two?" Izzy asked, looking at her little sister as she nodded towards Don. "Why does Donnie's look like he ate bad cheese?" Donnie shifted nervously, looking over at Betty as she sighed at her sister.
"He's fine, just nervous." She shrugged as Izzy, looked at the nerdy brother in question.
"Nervous about what?" She asked him as he shrugged.
"Just want to make sure everyone is alright." He said as she eyed him for a moment.
"You're a horrible liar." Izzy said shaking her head. "What's going on with them?" She asked, looking towards Mikey and Riley as Mikey shrugged, looking over at his girlfriend for confirmation.
"They're trying to have sex tonight." Riley shrugged as Donnie looked towards the platinum blonde with a glare. "What? You're a ninja and you're scared of a five foot nine Irish chick?" She asked as Donnie sighed with a shake of his head, looking down at his shoes.
"It's none of her business Riley." Betty hissed as Riley chuckled a little.
"It's just sex, and you're old enough. What's she gonna do? Forbid it?" She asked as Izzy glared at Donatello from across the small elevator space. Before Izzy could say anything the elevator dinged to the ground floor and Donnie got out first, taking Betty's hand in his.
"You just love to embarrass him don't you?" Mikey asked as Izzy got out next. Riley chuckled with a shrug.
"It's not my fault he gets all twitchy. It's precious." She laughed as Mikey tired not to with a sigh.
"He's just nervous." He shrugged as Riley sighed, nodding her head.
"I know, that was mean. I'll stop." She nodded as Mikey kissed her cheek.
"He gets enough of it from Raph." Mikey said as they all entered the darkening streets.
"I'm not nearly as bad a Raph." Riley said with a disapproving laugh as Mikey shrugged.
"I didn't even think of that..." Willow sighed, looking at her cell phone as it blinked with messages. "She's going to be furious." She said, talking of her mother as Riley shrugged.
"It wasn't that bad. She's just worried and just needs to know that you're OK." She said, taking a seat next to her friend in Donnie's lab as he took off the dial blocker for the lair. All of their cell phones went off at once, exploding with notifications making Willow retreat into the lab so she could have little interruptions as Raphael and Donnie talked to Casey and April in the other room.
"I should put it on speaker, so she knows you're alright too." She said looking up at her husband as he hovered over her, leaning heavily on the medical table. "Please sit, you look like you're about to collapse." She said, getting from her seat as Leo pushed her back down in it by her shoulder.
"I am fine. Call your mother." He said pointing at her phone as she sighed again, dialing her mother's number.
"Hello?" Maggie asked on the other end with a large yawn as Willow smiled.
"I'm sorry to wake you mummy." She said softly as Maggie gasped on the other end, followed by the sound of soft sobs.
"My baby, are you OK? Is Leo OK?" She asked in sniffs as Willow heard the movement of her father beside her in bed.
"What's happening Mags, the kids alright?" He grumbled as Maggie shushed him.
"Yes they're fine, right Willow? Everyone is fine?"
"Yes mum..." She said looking up at Leo as he smiled.
"We're all fine Maggie." Leo said as Maggie started to cry harder.
"Leo, sweetie are you sure? Donnie said something about a fight and..."
"I'm healing fine, it isn't anything to concern yourselves with."
"Well of course we will concern ourselves son, you're apart of this family." Paul said as Willow smiled.
"Hi daddy."
"Hi Angel, are you sure everything is OK? We can take a ride down there and..."
"No. We're still recuperating. We'll come see you when we're all better." Willow said quickly as Paul hummed in agreement. "We should have waited to call you guys, it's almost midnight." Willow sighed as Maggie tsked.
"We're fine and I needed to hear your voice to sleep soundly. Both your voices. You call me tomorrow and tell me when you can come see us to explains to us what exactly happened that day because, I will ask you until my dying day what happened and you can lie to me all you want Leonardo but, I will get a straight answer out of you one way or another." Maggie said as Leo looked down at Willow.
"It's true, she could have worked for the CIA with the way she can get secrets out of people."
"I will be honest with you Maggie, I promise." He said as she sighed.
"Good. Now, you both get rest. This isn't much of a honeymoon is it you two?" She asked as Willow sighed.
"No, not at all." She said as Maggie chuckled lightly.
"You have the rest of your lives to make up for it." She said as Willow nodded. "Good night my loves. Give my love to your brother's Leo." She said as they both said their good-byes.
"She's a scary woman." Leo sighed, as Willow chuckled.
"And you just married the offspring." She said as Leo groaned, both of them moving out of the lab into the kitchen where everyone was gathering.
"I'm not sure if this is enough, but it'll get you at least through the week." Izzy said as she laid the context of her bag out on the large table. Leonardo sat with Willow behind him and Raphael beside her, looking down at the syringes and pill bottles scattered around the old wooden table.
"I think this is more than enough?" Willow questions, as she held up a bottle of capsules with a large word on the side she could barely pronounce. "These are for what exactly?"
"Those specifically are for pain." Izzy said, squinting at the bottle Willow held in her head. She held up another reading the label and placing it in one pile. "These should be Felicia's because they're more mild. Leo is larger so, he should get all these. This will also help heal the scarring on Felicia's face. She should put it on twice a day for two weeks and it should be like nothing was on her face... How is she anyways?"
"She's fine." Felicia sighed from the large stair case, limping her way down the steps as Raphael looked up at her, rushing to her side.
"What are you doing out of bed?" He hissed at her as she rolled her eyes, grabbing onto his arm for support.
"I need to move around before my body molds into your bed." She said with a glare as he nodded, keeping most of her weight on him.
"Jesus Felicia..." Izzy sighed, walking up to her long time friend and placing her hand along the large gash on her cheek. "Riley you did a good job cleaning it. The swelling has gone down, that's good... I don't like this red though on the outer edge. Um, Donnie get me that cream there, it's the bacitracin..."
"I've used that, it still..." Felicia started as Izzy hushed her, taking the cream from Donnie and a pair of gloves.
"Come sit." She said, taking Felicia's hand and sitting her next to Leo.
"I'm not an animal Iz, you can't doctor me." Felicia said with a glare as Izzy rolled her eyes.
"I can and I will. I did go to medical school for humans too, smart ass." She said, putting a bit of the ointment on her gloved finger. "This you should put on every night. Do this first not the scar cream. The redness needs to go away before you add anything else to it. Also, these pills here..." She said pointing to a large blister pack filled with large green capsules. "Those are a heavy antibiotic. Whatever is infecting her will die in a matter of seven days."
"I'm sorry Izzy, but the pills you gave me are for horses..." Leo said, reading the bottle as Mikey laughed out loud. Leo turned his head in a glare towards his little brother as Willow chuckled a little, grabbing the bottle from her husbands hands.
"It's fine Leo, those will knock out the pain and they're perfectly harmless." Izzy said, concentrating on Felicia's face. "She got you good huh?" Izzy sighed, looking up at Raphael as he stood behind Felicia, rubbing a large hand up and down her arm. "When'd you guys become all lovey dovey again?" She asked as Felicia rolled her eyes.
"It was a stupid fight." Felicia shrugged as Izzy arched an perfectly manicured eyebrow at her.
"It was, I agree." She nodded as Felicia furrowed her brow at her friend.
"You do?" She asked as Izzy shrugged, leaning up from Felicia's face and capping the ointment.
"If my sister dating one of you... Guys has taught me anything it's you can't judge love. If it's there, it's there. Gay, straight, bi... This..." She said motioning towards Willow and Leo. "It's love and you obviously love Raph." She shrugged looking up at the red banded turtle. "If you hurt her again I will castrate you with your own sai, do you hear me?" She said, pointing a finger at the large turtle as Raph arched an eye ridge, nodding his head slowly. "Good. Same with you katana boy!" She said, looking over at the newly married couple.
"I would castrate him long before you would." Willow said rolling her eyes as Leonardo looked up at her in question. "I know you won't hurt me." She laughed. "But, it is an option." She shrugged.
"What the hell am I suppose to do? Mine uses nunchucks." Riley said, thumbing behind her at Mikey.
"You can always just beat it off." Betty shrugged as Riley and Raph both laughed.
"You're both twelve." Izzy said, rolling her eyes and kneeling beside Leo. "Let me see." She said nodding towards his bandages.
"Donnie took care of it just fine." He said, taking a sip of his tea as Izzy glared at him from her still crouching spot.
"Let. Me. See." She said through clenched teeth as he looked over at her, unwrapping the bandages slowly. Izzy placed them on the table, grabbing the ointment she used for Felicia' face and placing some on the softened shell around the wound. "You did good Don. You had to cauterize it?" She asked with a grimace, looking up at Leo. "Ouch." She said as Leo nodded.
"I've had worse." He shrugged as Willow sighed, shaking her head.
"Yeah, let's talk about that shall we." She said rolling her eyes as Leo looked at her from over the table. "One wound at a time, please." She said as he nodded his head.
"Well, with this it won't scar as badly... Leave the bandages off for tonight. Let the wound breath a little. The ointment will keep anything from infecting it." She said, examining the wound a little further and getting to her feet. "There are more bandages in the bag, there. Re-bandage it tomorrow after putting on more ointment." She said, looking over at Willow who nodded. "Make sure he takes these." She said shaking the bottle of pills and putting them down hard in front of Leo. "It'll help you sleep and heal. The less pain you feel the more you'll be likely to move around the faster your body will heal." She said with a shrug. "Being laid up in bed all day does nothing for a sore body but stiffen it and make it harder to move. Rest is good but, some light stretching and exercise it better. Raph, you know like... Katas right? Teach those to Fee. It'll help with her ribs."
"My ribs are fine." Felicia sighed as Izzy looked over at her, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Really? Cough." She said as Felicia glared back.
"I don't need to cough."
"Raise your arm above your head." She said with a shrug as Felicia sighed, keeping her arms where they were. "Exactly. They're not broken but extremely bruised and those will take longer to heal than anything. Raph, Katas... Yes?" Izzy asked, pointing towards him as he nodded.
"Yeah, I can do a couple from when we were younger. They're not too strenuous."
"Good. That's perfect. Maybe like twice a week to start? Once the pain killers kick in." She shrugged as Raph nodded.
"Why are you on her side?" Felicia hissed at him as he kissed the top of her head.
"I'm on the side that gets you better."
"Leo you too, no katanas until you can do at least twenty push ups. No more no less, then you can practice with them again...Slowly, not all at once." Izzy said, pointing a finger at the eldest turtle.
"How do you know about this?" He asked as Izzy smiled.
"I got my first degree in physical therapy. My masters is in Veterinarian Medicine." She shrugged as Willow smiled at her smart friend.
"Jack of all medical trades this one." She said as Izzy blushed a little.
"Yeah, yeah. Well, with Zach going to the gym as much as he does lately trying to keep up with these four I've been read up on some physical therapy more."
"He's been trying to keep up with the guys?" Riley asked with a chuckled, leaping up on the counter as Mikey leaned next to her crossing his arms over his red t-shirt covered chest.
"I hope he doesn't hurt himself." Leo said softly as Willow rolled his eyes.
"He doesn't mean that to come off as cocky, he is actually genuinely concerned." Willow said looking up at Izzy as she chuckled.
"Ever since the basketball game he's been kinda determined to get in shape." Izzy shrugged as Raph chuckled.
"Wait till he finds out they're ninjas." Riley smiled looking over at Mikey as he smiled back, putting his hand on the side of her face and bringing her in for a kiss.
"Well that will never happen." Leo said, shaking his head as Willow shrugged.
"He knows about the Dojo Leo, he knows you guys are into martial arts."
"Doesn't mean he knows they're ninjas?" Betty said with a furrowed brow. "Anybody can get into martial arts."
"Exactly." Leo said nodding towards Betty as she smiled.
"Anyways..." Izzy sighed. "Every since he's been crazy exercise guy. I've been reading more about physical therapy. That's it." She said holding up her hands as Riley chuckled.
"Nice story bro."
"Well, I appreciate it." Willow said to her friend. "If it'll help him I don't care." She said smiling over at Leo, leaning towards him and kissing his green shoulder.
"So, what's with these two? Isn't the serum suppose to wear off?" Izzy asked, taking a seat at the kitchen table, looking up at Donnie.
"I actually make these patches..." He said, lifting up his sleeve to show off the white patch. "They slowly release the serum in our system and once we take them off we go back to our normal selves." He shrugged.
"Wow... How'd you get the idea for that?"
"Well, Betty actually..."
"I did nothing. He likes to say it was my idea because you remember Ramona?"
"The girl you know that's twenty five but looks forty five?"
"Yeah, well I was telling Donnie about her one night and about how I told her to go on the patch then him being the amazing genius he is..." She said giving him a knowing smirk. "He thought of the serum patches for the guys." She shrugged as Izzy nodded with a face of approval.
"So, it was your idea. Really." Izzy shrugged looking at her sister and Betty sighed, rolling her eyes.
"Fine. I'm a genius... Whatever. I'm getting a beer." She said throwing her arms up in defeat as Mikey chuckled.
"So, is everything pretty safe top-side?" Felicia asked as Donnie shrugged.
"Normal enough. We would need to do further surveillance, another couple patrols to be sure..."
"But, we're not doing that until everyone is better." Mikey said with a shrug, giving his older brother in blue a look.
"Yes Michelangelo." Leo sighed as Mikey smiled.
"Scary that he's the responsible one, ain't it?" Raph asked Leo as they both chuckled.
"Laugh it up, but you just wait. One day I'll be wheeling your old asses around." Mikey said pointing at the two eldest.
"C'mon responsible one." Riley said, kissing Mikey's human shoulder. "We're gonna head to bed. It's late."
"Sure, sure. That's why you're going to bed." Willow said, rolling her eyes as Felicia sighed next to her.
"Not my fault mine is perfectly fine and functional." Riley said with a smile, pushing Mikey towards the stairway.
"Mine is functional!" Felicia said with a pout. "I'm just not." She sighed, looking over at Raphael as he kissed her good cheek softly.
"Gettin' ya better is more important." He said softly in her ear as she rolled her eyes.
"Fine." She grumbled as Willow chuckled.
"I think I win guys... Honeymoon!" She said pointing towards Leonardo's side as he shook his head.
"It's true, Willow does kinda win." Felicia nodded as Raphael snorted a laugh.
"No, Don wins." He said nodding towards his geeky brother as he sulked against the counter. Donnie looked up at his brother with a furrowed human brow.
"Win what?" He asked as Betty sighed.
"It's not important." She said, glaring at Raph as he chuckled a little louder.
"C'mon Fee, we should get you to bed."
"You too Captain Impossible." Willow said, both of them standing up to help their significant other.
"Captain Impossible?" Leo asked, as he grabbed Willow's extended hand and got to his feet.
"Yeah, because you think you can do everything without anyone's help. You're impossible."
"Technically he wouldn't be impossible he would be improbable." Donnie correct as Raphael groaned, rolling his eyes.
"On that note, good-night." He said, taking Felicia's hand and basically carrying her up the cement stairs.
"Night guys." Willow said over her shoulder as she helped Leo up the stairs.
"Night." Betty said with a forced smile as she looked back over at Donatello, staring hard at his shoes. "Um... You alright?" She asked
They both stood alone in the lairs kitchen, everyone now in their separate rooms with this significant others. Donnie couldn't help the fact that he was looking forward to something and it now, possibly wasn't going to happen. He looked down at his hands, twisting nervously before him, thinking of minuets ago when she held it, making their way back to the lair as Mikey joked about it maybe not being 'his time to get laid'.
"I'm sorry about tonight." He sighed, leaning heavily against the counter.
"Wasn't your fault." She shrugged, walking over to him. She placed her hand against his human bicep as he smiled down at her, taking it into his own and kissing her knuckles softly. "It's not as if we still can't... Do something." She shrugged as he looked down at her.
"Such as?" He asked furrowing her brunette colored brow.
"Well... Maybe we should start off slow anyways?" She shrugged. "Like, dip our toe in to test the waters." She said as he smirked at her analogy.
"I-I would like, that... Do you um, want something to drink?" He asked, stepping away from her and going into the fridge. Betty sighed, putting her hands on the counter that Donnie's body was once leaned up again.
"Sure. Why not." She said, turning to him and crossing her arms with a sigh as he looked over at her to her tone.
"What?" He asked as Betty shrugged.
"Do you want to have sex with me?" She asked finally.
"Of course I do!" He said, going to her and holding her hands. "Why would you think otherwise?"
"You keep moving away from me whenever I try and get close to you. Why?" She asked as he sighed, putting his head down.
"I'm... Nervous..." He sighed as she nodded.
"I know that but, you don't need to be. It's me." She shrugged as he nodded again. "I know you Donnie. I'm not going anywhere, please let me in." She said, looking into his eyes as he smiled a little, feeling tears start to prickle in his eyes. He turned his head from her quickly, rubbing his eyes on his shoulder. "I-I think... I um... love you." She said his eyes shot to hers quickly.
"Y-you... Love me?" He asked slowly, unsure as she smiled largely nodding her head.
"Yeah, dumb ass." She said with a roll of her eyes now swelling with tears.
Without another word, he wrapped his arms around her waist quickly pressing her body tightly against the refrigerator door. Betty gasped to the quick movement as her back hit hard against the metal door. Donnie's lips were tight on hers as his hands searched her body, reaching down behind to her backside and lifting her up against him. He moved his lips quickly and desperately against her own as she tried to get a breath of air. Finally, he moved his mouth down her neck as she put her head back, her eyes rolling back in her head as his teeth dragged across her pulse point.
"D-Don, baby you need to slow down a little." She breathed heavily as he stopped and looked up at her. Setting her down onto her feet she smiled, adjusting her shirt. "First off, I need you as you." She said, chuckling a little to his reaction as he stood before her, his chest rising and falling harshly with his heavy breaths. He nodded, looking at her and licking his reddened lips. She bit hers self consciously as she watched his pink tongue drag along his fuller bottom lip. Shaking her head and looking away from his beautiful human face she ran a hand through her ebony hair. "Second, um... Are you sure you want to do this... Here? I mean we made a huge deal about us being alone and..."
"We're alone." He said looking around, his voice fast and excited. Betty smirked a little.
"Yes, but... The lair has high ceilings... Echoing may occur?" She asked as he nodded his head.
"I don't trust my bedroom..." He said looking towards the stairway. "Um..."
"What about your lab?" She asked nodding towards the metal box off to the side of the large room. He looked over his shoulder at it with a smirk.
"You want to have sex on a medical table?" He chuckled, looking back to her as she shrugged, leaning up on her toes to kiss his beautiful human mouth.
"Or on your desk." She shrugged as his eyebrow arched in intrigue.
"My desk huh?" He mused, looking back towards the lab. "Let's go venture over there and see what we find." He shrugged as she giggled a little, taking his hand. "After you." He said, opening the door and putting his arm out in welcome.
"What a gentlemen." She chuckled, going inside and hopping herself onto his metal medical table. "So..." She said, swinging her feet back and forth as he stood at the doorway, the heavy door shut behind him. He didn't say anything to her as she watched him looking at her body slowly.
He started at her feet, dawned in a pair of ratty black converse. Then to her legs, covered in faded black skinny jeans with holes ripped over the knees and thighs. She wore a plain gray shirt, slightly see through from being washed so often with a bright pink bra underneath and a black hoodie covering her shoulders and arms. Her long graceful neck started at the V of her shirt up to the beautiful curve of her jaw. Her face was still pink from their kissing prior, her cheeks darker in the middle matching the color at the tip of her nose. Her bright green eyes looked hopeful and needing into his as she watched him examine her body excruciatingly slowly. She was so beautiful and she had just said the words 'I love you' to him. Him. He never thought any woman, especially not a beautiful one like Betty would say they loved him.
"Don...?" She asked slowly as his eyes snapped back to hers. "Are you alright?" She asked, biting her bottom lip making it look even more red and swollen than it had before.
He pushed himself away from the door and walked over to her. Lifted her chin to his face, bending his tall body slightly so their lips touched for a chaste kiss.
"I'll be right back." He said, his voice taking on a different tone than she's heard from him before. It was darker, husky as she watched him walk out of his lab. The door clicked behind him and she got quickly from the table, going over to a little mirror on the wall by his computer desk and starting to fix her hair. She clicked her tongue to herself, rubbing a finger under her eye at the smudged eyeliner and mascara she messily put on in her dorm bathroom as she grabbed some toiletries. She took off her black hooded sweatshirt, placing it over Donnie's computer chair and pulled the soft, light fabric of her shirt away from her body turning in the mirror and adjusting her pants. She sighed to herself at her little pudgy stomach showing through her t-shirt, hearing Izzy's words in her head about the 'freshman fifteen'. Rolling her eyes she fluffed her hair with her hands, putting her fingers at the top of her head and lifting the soft black waves up as they fell back down where they once were.
Hearing the door click as it opened against the lock she started to walk back to the table, leaning against it as Donnie came into his room looking himself. She smiled at him as he gave a forced one back, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"Hi." She said, hopping onto the medical table and patting the space beside her. He smiled, more real and his own this time taking a seat beside her. "Please don't think I don't want to Donnie because I do. I want to." She said again, turning her body towards him and putting her hand over his larger, green one. He looked down at them together, her milky colored flesh against the harsh color of his own. Closing his eyes and taking a slow breath he looked back up to hers as they waited for him patiently.
"I've never said the words before, to anyone other than my brothers. I've never heard them spoken to me from anyone aside from friends and family... I never imagined... Someone like you, as beautiful as you are would ever..." He sighed heavily, looking down at his large green hands sitting atop of his thighs as her smaller, pale colored hand rested over his. Her delicate, soft fingers sliding back and forth over his rough palms. "I know I love you. I couldn't possible not. You're amazing and smart, and everything I could have possibly thought of as an ideal mate... I love you...S-so, much Elizabeth... I don't want..." He sighed and shook his head, looking back down at their odd coupled hands. "I don't want you to..." He shrugged not sure what he didn't want. He didn't want her to get hurt, he didn't want her to run away screaming, he didn't want her to leave him, ever. He didn't want her to lie to him. "Y-you really love me?" He asked, his brow furrowing as she smiled, meeting his confused hazel eyes.
"Yes Don. I mean, I've never felt this way before about any guy and you being... Well, you and how you are with me. You're so sweet and wonderful... How could I not love you? I don't plan on going anywhere. Not now, not ever. As long as you'll have me." She smiled with a shrug as he chuckled to himself shaking his head.
"Is forever too long?" He asked as she chuckled too now, leaning over to him and pressing her lips softly to his mouth.
"No." She whispered to him, meeting his eyes as he moved in now pushing his mouth to hers. He leaned his heavy body over hers as she laid back against the hard table. He stopped, looking down at her body underneath his as she smiled leaning up and pushing her chest to his chest plate. Lifting her shirt up and over her head she tossed it to the floor, biting her bottom lip as she tried to watch his face for a reaction. His hand slowly reached up, hovering over the roundness of her bra and then finally touching the soft fabric. His fingers curved around the side of her breast as his thumb dragged across the front. Betty sighed to herself from the feeling of his thumb touching her sensitive area. He looked up at her to the noise as she smiled.
"Was that good or bad?" He asked softly as she smiled wider.
"Good." She nodded, laying back against the table and reaching for his other hand. "Want to try it without the bra?" She asked as he nodded slowly. He furrowed his brow looking at it in confusion as she giggled a little, leaning up onto her elbows. "It unhooks in the back." She said, reaching behind her and undoing the clasp. "Here..." She said taking her hand and lighting pushing onto his chest plate. "Stand up." She said, sitting up herself. He did, hesitantly standing from the table as opened her legs, putting them around his waist and shell. She pulled him into her, their bodies touching as he rested his hands on either side of her.
"W-what now?" He asked as they looked at each other for a moment. Betty smiled softly, kissing his confused face.
"Touch me Don." She said softly, as he took a deep breath.
"Wh-where?" He asked as she shrugged.
"Anywhere you want... Here." She said, slipping her bra from her shoulders and dropping it to the cement floor.
"Wow..." He breathed softly, looking at her naked chest, inches from him. He swallowed hard, lifting his hands up slowly as she smiled, taking them in her own and placing them on her breasts.
"I'm not going to bite you Don." She said, watching his face as he felt the weight of her in his palms. "So... Do you like them or...?" She asked starting to feel a little self-conscious as he stood before her, saying nothing. He still said nothing, sliding his hands from her breasts to her side, sending a shiver and goosebumps across her skin.
Her skin felt amazing, like nothing he ever felt before. It was so soft, almost like silk against his rough palms as they grazed over it around to her back. He felt the indentation of her lower back as his fingers slide down it slowly touching the hem of her pants. She watched him watching his hands as his eyes moved with them. She smiled to herself, leaning towards and kissing his cheek to break him out of his examination.
"Don..." She whispered softly. "Do you want me to take my pants off?" She asked as his eyes snapped back to hers. He swallowed hard, taking a small step back from her as she slid off the table, standing half naked in front of him. She kept her eyes on his as she kicked off her shoes and started unbuckling her belt, then her pants, sliding them down her thighs and off her legs. She stood in just her skeleton lace panties, biting her bottom lip, her hands slapping softly against her tights. "So... This is um, me." She said opening her arms as he looked down at her. His eyes traveled across her body once before landing back into her eyes. Stepping forward and placing his hand on the side of her face as gently as he possibly could he leaned forward, pressing his lips tight to hers.
"You're beautiful." He said softly, pulling back from her as she smiled. Leaning forward again he kissed her, his hands roaming all around her body as she felt heat strike through her tummy and down her legs. She reached up around his shoulders, bringing his body tighter to her own and kissing him harder, opening her mouth to his.
Walking her back against the table he reached around her and picked her up, placing her back on it. She leaned back from his weight on top of her as he pressed tightly between her legs. His hands continued to roam her skin as she arched into his touch, panting into his mouth from his rough hands hitting sensitive spots along her body. Feeling the friction from her body against his she squirmed underneath him on the table he couldn't take it anymore. Reaching between them he pulled her panties from her body in a swift tug, letting them fall to the floor. She leaned back, looking up at him as he smiled both of their chests raising and falling in their panting breaths.
"I love you." He said softly as she smiled.
"I love you too Donnie." She nodded as he sighed, happily leaning down and kissing her chest and then her lips.
"I-I don't want to hurt you...?" He said, looking down between them and back to her as she shrugged.
"I'll live." She said as he smiled, kissing her again.
"Tell me to stop if anything..."
"Donnie please, for the love of God get inside me!" She said gripping on to his arm as he chuckled a little reaching down between them.
"Poor Don..." Mikey sighed, as he laid back in his bed next to Riley as she sat up next to him, flipping through channels in her normal sleeping cloths she was able to get from the apartment.
"Why poor Don?" She asked in a chuckled as Mikey sighed heavily, putting an arm behind his head to look up at his girlfriend.
"He is just never gonna be able to get laid." He shrugged as Riley chuckled, laying down on his plastron.
"Mikey... Have you heard Don's bedroom door open or close yet? Have you heard his TV on, or Betty's voice in there for that matter?" She asked as Mikey furrowed his brow, listening for anything to come out of the room beside them.
"Huh... No." He said sitting up and putting his head closer to the wall. "What's that mean?" He asked as Riley rolled her eyes, laying back against the part of the bed she now has claimed as her side.
"It means genius, that they're probably down stairs, alone, by themselves like they wanted." She shrugged as Mikey scoffed.
"He couldn't have sex down stairs. He'd be too nervous that Splinter would walk in." Mikey said, shaking his head and snatching the remote quickly from Riley's grasp, flipping through the channels himself.
"True, but isn't there a room downstairs that belongs to Don, and just Don with a lock on it?" She said, perching her head in her palm as she turned in bed on her side to look at him. Mikey looked over at her for a moment before shaking his head.
"Nah, Don wouldn't do that." He said as Riley chuckled, laying her head on his shoulder.
"I think he would. I mean it's the perfect place for them to do it. It's Don's domain. He knows that room better than his own actual room, probably. Spends more time in there than anywhere. There are multiply locations for them to do it on..." She shrugged as Mikey gave Riley a hard look before getting from the bed quickly and opening his door. Looking down over the railing at the empty living room and kitchen he furrowed his brow, leaning heavily on the metal poles.
"...Huh..." He said to himself as Riley leaned against his door jam, a pair of black shorts with a white skull over her legs and a bright neon pink tank top on her chest that her arms laid crossed over.
"Are you done spying on your brother?" She asked with a tilt of her head as Mikey looked through the frosted tinted glass, trying to get a glimpse of anything on the other side.
"How do you know they're in there?" He asked turning towards Riley who sighed, rolling her eyes and walking over to him.
"Look." She said, pointing towards the window as a large shadow moved across it quickly followed by the loud slap of books falling to the cement floor and Betty's giggle echoed through the lair.
Raphael stepped out of his room on the other side of Mikey's, looking down the hallway at his brother and Riley.
"What was that?" He asked as Mikey nodded towards the lab.
"Betty and Don are doing an experiment together." Riley chuckled as Raph furrowed his brow in confusion, walking next to his brother who leaned his forearms against the railings top rung and a foot placed on the bottom.
"What?" He asked looking at his younger brother as Mikey shrugged with a large smile.
"Our Don is all grown up." He said with a fake sniff wiping away a nonexistent tear as Raph smirked a little, looking to the lab as another sound of pens and small metal things sounded in the lair.
