Chapter 7
Raph was sitting in a large glass box, a fancy cell. An all white room surrounded the cell. Vern knocked on the glass to get Raph's attention. Raph was hunched over on the metal twin bed fiddling his hands together. He looked up and his face showed his disappointment when it wasn't April. Vern gave him an apologetic shrug. Raph stood up and went to the window with speaker holes in it and Vern sat outside of it.
"You doing okay?" Vern asked, "I heard you haven't wanted to eat or drink anything."
"Where's April?" Raph asked abruptly cutting through the bullshit small talk.
"They won't let her back here yet. She's just now calming down and they didn't want her to upset you." He explained.
"Vern, you know if I didn't want to be here, I wouldn't be. I let 'em take me. April's not gonna upset me. I'm here on my own accord."
Vern nodded, "Yes, I know that because I know you, but they don't. They're not taking my word for it. Or April's for that matter. She didn't handle them taking you well and she was close to hysterics for a while there."
"She didn't know I was doin' it. April doesn't handle surprises very well."
"Why did you?" Vern questioned.
"Because she left me… I was tryin' to make her see that I don't care where I am as long as she's there, too. And I'm here to protect her no matter what she says, so I let them have me so she wouldn't feel like she had to keep this secret from me… This secret that was keeping us apart."
He smiled, "I'm glad to see your feelings haven't changed. For the longest time, April was scared of seeing you because she didn't know if you would have the same look in your eyes when you saw her."
Raph shook his head, "I will never not love her. I don't care if it was another ten years before I saw her again… I know she thinks she has to keep me in the dark because she thinks I can handle what she is now, but I can handle it. S'long as she is here for me to be able to love whether she loves me back or not, I'm good."
"I know how you feel about her, man. She's terrified of what they'll do to you. She doesn't know if she can keep them from turning you into a science experiment."
"My whole fuckin' life is a science experiment, Vern. Just get her back here. Please." Raph begged.
"I'm trying, Raph… Do I need to get in touch with your brothers?"
He shook his head, "Leo knows what I've done."
April paced her room for who knows how long. She had to see him. It had been hours since they had locked him away from her. She was anxious and overwhelmed by everything that had happened. Raph was fucking crazy. What had he gotten himself into? She couldn't win with him. He was stubborn and hard headed. She was on fire from whatever they injected her with to calm her down. Even shorts and a tank felt too hot. She felt like she was in a bad dream. Her mind was a constant race of what if's and she knew she would feel better if she could only see him. She wondered if his brothers knew what he had pulled. Splinter would be heartbroken.
Her door cracked open and Vern peeked his head in, "Hey." He said quietly sliding in.
April almost jumped out of her skin with excitement, "Vern! Did you talk to him? They won't let me see him. Is he okay?"
Vern placed his hands on her shoulders, "Calm down. I saw him and he's doing fine. He's anxious to see you, but he's fine."
"What are they going to do to him?" She asked with fear in her eyes.
He sighed, "I don't know, April. Hopefully, they'll find him useful. Listen," He slipped his pass card in April's hand, "This is what you need to get to him. The code to open his cell is 6998. It changes in a few hours. I'll keep a look out for you."
April smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you, Vern."
"Yeah, yeah. Don't say I never gave you anything. I'm giving you your large mutant lover."
She grinned, "I'll see you later."
Vern playfully smacked her butt as she left, "Go get 'em, Tiger."
Her heart was pounding as her feet walked down the hallway covered in marble. What was she going to say to him? What would he say to her? How would she explain everything? She came to the door that led to his cell and swiped Vern's pass card. She entered the large white room that was dimly lit due to the late hour. She could see Raph's outline as he laid on his side facing the opposite wall. She could see how uncomfortable he was in that bed with hi shell. April took a deep breath and walked to entrance to his cell. Her fingers could barely enter the code correctly because they were shaking so badly. She pressed "Enter" and the door popped open. Raph sat up when he heard it and turned around. His heart felt like it stopped when he saw her. April pulled the door shut behind her.
"How did you get back here?" He asked in a hoarse voice.
She held up the pass card, "Vern broke me in. Are you okay?"
Raph nodded, "Yeah. Are you?"
April nodded, too, "Yeah."
He stared at her for a moment, "God, April, get over here."
She set the card down on the chair and walked quickly to Raph, throwing herself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her up into his lap. They kept trying to grasp each other tighter as if they would be jerked apart at any moment. They showered each other in kisses like it had been yet another year and a half.
"I'm sorry, Raph. I'm so sorry about what I said." April lamented as she squeezed him tighter.
He placed his palms on her face, "I already forgave you, babe."
"You're crazy, you're so crazy. I don't know what you've gotten yourself into..." She admitted.
"We're not talking about it right now. How long do we have?" He asked.
"I'm staying as long as I can." She replied.
Raph nodded and went in for a long, slow kiss. The kiss that meant the year and a half wait for each other was over. He grasped the hem of her tank top and slipped it over her head. April stood up and slipped her shorts off to the floor. He placed his hands on her hips and admired her. It had been so long for them. It was more than time. He examined her new body. She was more toned than she once was. She had more scars than she once did. Her legs were now thick and muscular and it perked up her back side even more so than it used to be. Her chest was smaller probably due to all the upper body work outs she had to do now. And even though she looked so different, she still felt like coming home. She was still his April. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her deeply. She gripped his tattered red mask in her hands and slipped it off his head. It wasn't something she did often because that mask was like his security blanket, but she loved being able to see his whole face.
Raph stood up and laid her down on the bed. He slipped his briefs off and kneeled on the bed between her legs. He placed his hands on her knees and looked down at her. He tried to keep his emotions at ease, but part of him wanted to break down when he thought about what had transpired and how they finally got back to this place now. He just couldn't believe he was with her again. It felt like the first time all over again.
She reached up and grasped his shoulders, "Come here."
Raph leaned down and supported his weight on his forearms as his kissed her. First, very delicately and slowly. Then, building up to deeper, more passionate kisses. He missed the feel of her mouth on him. It had begun to feel like a dream that he had ever experienced this before. Her full pout made him feel warm and tingly all over. She could feel Raph growing between her legs and her need was growing, too. She nipped at his bottom lip and he moaned a little. He grabbed her leg and hitched it up on his side. His finger slid down her inner thigh to her center. He slipped his thumb inside and massaged her. April's back arched and her nipples became perfect peaks. A low guttural growl escaped his mouth. He pulled his thumb out of her and slowly inserted himself. April moaned softly as he slipped inside. He placed himself back over her on his forearms and slipped in a little at a time. April felt so tight, he didn't want to hurt her.
He kissed her again as he slipped in a little further. Raph felt delirious from the sweet feel of her he had missed so badly. She moaned in his mouth as she dug her nails into his shoulders. He pulled back because he thought he had hurt her and her eyes found his and she nodded for him to keep going. April thought she would never feel this again. She thrusted upward on him taking the rest inside her. He growled in her ear in pleasure. He kept one arm propped next to her and grasped her thigh with the other. He pulled out slowly and slid back in quickly. April's breath hitched in her chest and she rolled her head back in euphoria. He began moving at a steady pace. His mouth moved down her neck as he took in her scent. April was completely lost, it was like the first time all over again.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Raph decided to change things up. She didn't care though because she was limp and completely his. He moved behind her on his side and slipped back in from behind her. He grasped her hip and pulled himself as close as he could get to her and April moaned in response. He buried his face in her neck and she clutched onto his muscular thigh as he moved. He was moving closer to his climax and he could feel her tightening around him ready for hers. Raph slipped his arm underneath her clutching her chest with one arm and her midriff with the other. April dug her nails into his arms as he moved faster bracing herself.
"Come here." He demanded in a gruff needing voice.
April quickly turned her face back towards his and he took her lips with his as he began to release inside her. She moaned into his mouth as she climaxed with him. He kept going in jolted movements as he finished, making sure to take her to the very end of her orgasm. They slowly came to a stop sweating and breathing heavily.
Neither of them wanted to move, but Raph unwantingly retreated out of April and she hated the empty feeling it left when he wasn't inside her anymore. He maneuvered his body so he could lay on top of her again. His hands framed her face while sleepily kissed and gazed at each other. April's fingers slipped down his back and grazed his carapace sending chills through his body.
He sighed, "When do you have to leave?"
"I'm not leaving." April responded plainly.
Raph furrowed his brow, "What?"
"I don't care. They can find me here in the morning. I'm not leaving. What are they gonna do? Fire me?" She explained, "I've waited long enough to be here again and they can kiss my ass."
"Feisty April, huh?" He grinned.
Raph's eyes blinked open to the uncomfortably bright room. He scowled as he looked around and remembered where he was. April was still asleep and wrapped in his arms. He then looked at the door of his cage and saw a couple of strange faces looking in at he and April. His animal instincts kicked in and a low growl escaped his lips as he snarled at them. The pair quickly jumped back and left the room. He knew it wouldn't be long before they had more company. His arms tightened around April for fear they would come in and take her from him. He wouldn't go down without a fight. Then he quickly checked the blankets to make sure she was completely covered before anyone came back.
April begrudgingly began to open her eyes because no matter what had happened her routine wouldn't be forgotten over night. Everything rushed back to her from a few hours ago when she felt his huge arms wrapped around her. She could feel his eyes on her and rolled over into his chest.
He kissed her and head and sighed in regret that their intimate reunion would be over soon, "People have already been in here lookin' at us."
April's head popped up, "Just now?"
"Right before you woke up." He replied with a perplexed look as he saw something switch on in her head. It's like she went into stealth mode.
She hopped up from the bed and quickly dressed, that's when Vern entered the room and opened the cell door.
"O'Neil, I didn't mean spend the night!" He exclaimed as his panic heightened.
April grabbed the pass card and tucked it in her waist band of her tiny shorts, "Has anyone questioned you yet?"
"Luckily, no. But it's only a matter of time. They know whenever you misbehave it's because I'm helping you." Raph snorted as he got up and slipped his briefs on and Vern quickly averted his eyes, "Thanks for the warning, Raph. Seriously." Vern snapped sarcastically.
Raph turned around with a cocky grin, "Don't worry, Vern, its hidden away. Don't start feelin' second-rate an shit."
Vern let a mocking laugh escape with mouth before he turned his attention back to April, "What are we doing, April?"
She sighed and gave April an apologetic look, "This is gonna hurt." And before Vern could ask anything, April cold cocked him in the eye.
Raph came to a standstill and his mouth fell open, "Damn, babe!"
Vern groaned in pain as his hand tried to massage the pain away, "The fuck, April!?"
She patted his shoulder, "Go put some ice on it, big guy. Just tell them I knocked you out and stole your pass card."
Vern shook his head in understanding and walked off muttering something sarcastic.
"Did you have to hit him?" Raph asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Trust me, as long as Vern and I have been here no one would have believed the story without physical proof. I don't want him losing his security blanket here because of me." She explained as she closed the door locking them back in, "Now we wait. It won't be long before he comes in."
"That guy…" Raph knew who she meant, the man with the graying hair, "Ape, how the hell did Vern end up here with you?"
April looked up at the door, "That's a story for later on, babe."
Raph looked up and their company had returned.
