Title: TMNT: Mafioso.

Rating: T

Pairings: April/Casey…. Cuz they're already together, reviewers can suggest a few other ones.

Genre: Crime/Family…. It can be considered a little bit humor too

Summary: Splinters dead, Michaelangelo is the new leader of the Dragon-Foot clan, Leonardo is a bartender, Raphael is a loan-shark and Donatello's gone rogue turtle. Anything else? Oh, well Casey and April own a nightclub if it means anything….

Coping Method 4: Becoming an anti-hero….. Or vigilante, either/or works.

If you looked at the top of a tall building on a stormy night, you would probably see the shadow of a heroically standing Donatello, who watched over the city in a stereotypical hero way. Donatello, or Doc as he was called because of the red cross on the back of his snowsuit jacket, was dressed in a white snow-suit with the hood on and large purple-tinted snow-goggles with darker purple frames, the goggles covered just covered just about the top half of his face.

When their family fell apart, Doc found he wasn't accepting to such a change; he found the prospect of not having his father and his brothers not being around, unacceptable. So, to get a grasp of familiarity, he did what he and his brothers had done best in the past; played vigilante. He trained ferociously in Ninjitsu to the point it rivaled Leo's training methods…. Well, Leo's past training methods at least.

Doc still did science – he built a bunch of gadgets for the vigilante gig, and as time steadily went by, being a ninja vigilante was his only identity. He was New Yorks protector, like heroes in many of Mikes old comic books. But unlike those heroes, he didn't have a double-life, all he was, was a vigilante. The only thing he had left was crime-fighting, and Doc was obsessive over it like he had been with science once before.

"Doc!" A voice behind Doc made him sigh; he was in his Lair, even though none of his brothers lived in the sewers anymore (Mikey lived in the mansion that formally had belonged to Oroku Saki, Raph lived in an abandoned shop, and Leo lived with Casey and April), he still did. Unfortunately he did not live alone….

"What is it Renet?" Doc asked annoyed as his 'room-mate' came bounding into his lab.

"There's a weird, small, furry, gross, and scary creature in my room! It's got evil eyes and it's looking at me all evil like Savanti! OMG, what if it Savanti? What if he came back and he's trying to like, kill me, but like he came in furry form to watch me without me knowing and oh my god what if he watched me change -!"

Doc cut off her rambling "Renet!" He snapped in an annoyed groan "We've talked about this! Those things are rats! Just fucking kill it, or sweep it out of your room, or whatever, just shut the hell up!"

Renet pouted and grabbed the broom, she then scurried back to her room.

Around the time things royally fucked over, Lord Simultaneous realized that the only real way for Renet to grow up and mature in the mind, was if she matured physically; you see, being around time magic all the time, Renet never ages, but when she's away from time magic for a long enough time, then she does start to age like a normal person. Lord Simultaneous sent her to live on Earth for the next five years, and just to make sure she could still be his apprentice he gave her several scrolls and books to study while she was there.

Renet, being the ditzy blonde she is, had no idea how life on Earth worked – in fact, when Doc found her, she was very confused, with her feet cut up because her shoes had been stolen, she was dirty and gritty, and half starved. Doc, because he is often too kind-hearted for his own good, took Renet in with open arms seeing as she was a friend and had no where else to go.

He was regretting it now.

Renet was air-headed, loud-mouthed and obnoxious – Doc could deal with it for a period of time because he had grown up with Mikey, but he had a limit because Renet was worse. He tried everything – he tried distracting her with studies, but she refused because she said she had to study her scrolls instead. He tried teaching her how to meditate, but she fell asleep. Hell, he even tried to teach her the basics of Ninjitsu, but no matter what, she coul not sneak to save her life, she just kept making noise regardless of what she was doing.

It's not that he didn't like Renet – he did, she was the only company or companionship he had because he would not be with any of his brothers when they were separated, because that would be picking sides. She was just extremely annoying.

An alert appeared on one of Doc's many computer screens, and he left his lair.

The police were on a high-speed chase on the highway, they were after some crook called Bruce the Banger, who had been wanted for constants thefts. Doc knew about him because he was one of Raph's many 'clients.'

Doc still had the Battleshell, so he glided through all of the highway cars with ease. The cars soon stopped; a special feature Doc had recently installed in the battle shell was a pulse-like frequency that traveled through the ground and everything on it with a range of about ten miles, stopping all vehicles. Useful for the next feature, win which the Battleshell emitted a mist that traveled with the pulse, making him unseen. Vigilante or not, Doc was still a ninja and would not be seen.

With the tech inside the Battleshell, Doc could still see through the mist, the cop cars and Bruce the Bangers hijacked car had stopped; the cops could not see where Bruce was, but Doc could.

Doc stopped the battlehsell and stepped out – he pressed a button at the side of his goggles; they also served as high-tech visors as much as they did a way of disguise. He could see Bruce the Banger opening the car door and running blindly out of it, running into other cars several times.

Doc chuckled; Bruce thought he could escape? Idiot, he thought and grabbed a shuriken from under his snowsuit – from long-range he threw it at Bruce and it hit the criminal square in the middle of his shoulder blades, right where Doc had aimed. Bruce let out a surprise shriek of pain and buckled down onto his hands and knees.

Doc calmly walked over the Bruce the Banger and kicked him down onto his side "Well, well, well, Bruce." Doc said, and from his visors he could see Bruces face pale "We meet again…. Remember last month when you shot me in my shoulder?" The bullet-hole in his shoulder is a scar now, but it was still bright pink because of how fresh it was.

Bruce said nothing.

"I'm still pretty sore about that," Doc continued, applying more and more pressure on Bruce with his foot "and I think it's time you pay…"

"Don't kill me man." Bruce's voice shook.

"I won't kill you," Doc assured, then took out his tech-modified bo staff "but I'll make sure you're head will be reeling for the next couple weeks."

He wacked Bruces head with his bo staff as if this were Hockey.

"Doc!" Renet whined; Doc twitched in annoyance. He and Renet were sitting on the couch watching some movie "I'm hungry! Can we have that really good yellow crunchy stuff?" She asked hopefully, bouncing in her seat.

"Popcorn?" Doc inquired; Renet nodded excidely, Doc sighed "Fine, wait here."

Doc went into the kitchen and put an uncooked bag of popcorn into the microwave and turned it on. While he was waited for the three minutes to be up, he couldn't help but stare into the partly open cupboard, where he saw the gleam of an old teapot that had not been used in a long time.

He remembered Master Splinter making tea, and Donatello would be making popcorn for his brothers whou would be waiting in the living room. The popcorn would be done and they would fight over and throw handfuls of popcorn, and Master Splinter would sit in his chair and mutter something about kids but there would be still be a soft smile on his whiskered face.

Yeah, those were the days.
