So here we finally have the Turtles meet the Rogues, after much tormented deliberating I finally decided to deleate 'A Rogue and his Mutant' while there were quite a few things I liked about it, I felt I had written myself into a corner and I didn't want to finish the story, also I feel Arctica kind of stole Lupin's thunder, Arctica was just a much more interesting Wolf character, Lupin was an ingenue defined by her relationships to canon characters, also this story I feel is a much better tale of the Rogues coming to help the Turtles, Jonathan and Lupin's relationship bared to many similarities Jonathan has with Marzipan in the Neozoic Tales
As Vanessa led the two Rogues to the room where she left Mikey, both Jonathan and Edward wearing only Speedos had their cheeks bright red hoping no other humans saw them like this.
Vanessa saw the room was still pitch dark, she peeked through the tiny window slot, the chair was still leaned against the bathroom door...Good, seems no one had been in here since she left.
She opened the door, Edward turned on the light as he wasn't a nocturnal creature.
Vanessa moved aside the chair and with a trembling hand, opened the bathroom door, hoping that Mikey hadn't become a green goo vomiting demon, like that girl from The Exorcist.
But Mikey was exactly as she had left him, still lying on the floor, still sweating, still seemed to be tormented by nightmares she could not even begin to fathom.
Even Jonathan and Edward who were still unaccustumed to seeing Mutant Animals, the very obvious pain this strange creature was in, pricked at their empathy if only because such a thing could possibly happen to themselves as well.
"Well..." Jonathan said obviously a little unnerved "...As I said I'm a psychologist, not a phystcian...But I'll take a closer look..."
Jonathan kneeled down, his bare boney knees already protesting against the hard bathroom tile, as Jonathan looked at the poor shivering Turtle, he remembered his dreams, he feared the Crow wanted him because he was the Scarecrow, he feared if he touched the Turtle the Demon Crow might jump out of his current host and attack him instead,
And yet Jonathan knew he had to do something, he still felt whatever Proteus was doing had somehow caused this Demon to show itself, and he and his fellow rogues had been participating in whatever it was Proteus had been doing. Trembling he lifted two fingers and placed them on the Turtle's neck to feel the pulse...Nothing happened, no Demon attack he was feeling that the pulse did feel too fast for a healthy human and while this creature wasn't human, because Turtles were legendary for their slowness something told him it shouldn't be that fast for this Turtle either, in fact this was all very strange for a cold blooded animal, Jonathan knew enough basic biology to realize this Turtle was more like a warm blooded mammal...
"WHAT THE SHELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"
A thunderous Brooklyn accented voice shattered the concentration of all three of the waking creatures, the three other Turtles had come back to find two of the Rogues, for some reason only wearing Speedos, hovering over their unconcious brother!
Vanessa immediately tried to cool down the situation saying they were only trying to help, of course the Turtles didn't exactly take kindly to that, Leo asked why were they 'trying to help' and then Vanessa began to tell the story about the Demon Crow but then the Alarm sounded
"Guys!" Don shouted "We don't have time for this! We only have a few minutes before this places locks down! We got to get out of here now!"
Leo put Mikey over his shoulders. "All right..." He huffed not happy about the situation "If you really want to prove you're on our side...Raph, Donny, blindfold 'em!"
Edward and Jonathan both let out more frightened yelps then they would have liked to, when Raph and Donny roughly tied blindfolds around their eyes and slung the two men over their shoulders.
"I hope this works..." Leo sighed as he led everyone back to the sewer entrence they came from.
"Can this day get any more humilating?" Edward felt like he was about to cry.
All Jonathan could think of was they were leaving both Poor Jervis and their Supervillain Costumes and all their Gimmick Tools behind.
So the consquence of them being in Speedos, they can't get in their awesome costumes for a while, and their costumes were not the clothes that got sprayed by the stinky pheromones those were some plain civilan clothes, if this doesn't get mentioned anywhere else Jonathan was wearing a green sweater and gray pants and Edward was wearing the clothes similar to his office outfit in his fisrt episode, white shirt, blue pants with red suspenders.
