Work Text:
-you my friend are not just clumsy but you also LOVE bad ideas and somehow live through all your own bullshit!
-thats kinda how you met the turtles actually. you were out on a walk at night in new york which was already a dumb idea- I mean come on youre either getting kidnapped , murdered or worse dude. You noticed a fight happening in the ally and the worm in your brain decided it was about time you filmed an allyway fight- for no other reason than to yell “WORLDSTARRR”.
-so you whipped out your phone and snuck into the ally. Turns out…IT WAS A FIGHT! But you were NOT gonna yell once you saw who was fighting. Giant turtles fighting robot ninjas. You did get a good video though.
-when they noticed you they all bailed- the ninja scaling the building and the turtles heading into the sewers. You put your phone away and hopped in after them!
-you did not enjoy the smell and decided to ignore it along with what was in the water. You managed to follow the turtles back to their home and waited for them to chill out before you snuck your way in…you got past them and to some sort of back room.
-”how did you get in here?” you fell the fuck over hearing master splinter as he turned the light to his room on.
-”uhhhh…curiousity…big duuude” you gave some finger guns to the rat and he sighed. You got up and he told you to follow him- he took you out to the living room and got the turtles attention….they realized you followed them
-”…f u c k” raph was the first to speak. You waved and said “uh…yall looked badass back there” which was true. Mikey smiled and thanked you , walking over to you to introduce himself and the others. Splinter scolded the boys then told them to let april know about this.
-”april? Where have I heard that name before” you said to yourself- you thought about your classmates- hmmm she was likely at your school but wasn’t in any of your classes. Then you thought about your apartment complex “oh yeaaah I live across from her” you remembered “the red head?” you questioned. Donnie confirmed that your april was also their april.
-you were questioned of course on how and why you followed them. “so you saw…giant turtles fighting robot ninjas - they went into the sewers and you just followed without hesitation?” leo repeated back your summary.
-you nodded “yeah why?”. he looked at you like he thought you were a dumbass but didn’t want you to know- a look you understood very well. “I like bad ideas~” you gave the fuckin finger guns again.
-”oh yeah? So does mikey” raph commented- mikey whined at him over it. Donnie had deleted the video from your phone- saying the amount of cracks on it shouldnt even be possible.
-”im assuming thats why you have all these?” leo gestured to bruises and scars on wherever you got em- scrapes as well. “bad ideas?” he added. You nodded and talked about how earlier that day you ran into a glass door and did it again just so the kid who saw it would giggle.
-when april came by she recognized you and blurted “wait are you the one who got arrested for destruction of public property the other day?”…the room went quiet and you just went “…yeessss?”
-things went on! You wanted to tag along on missions and often did whether the guys wanted you to or not. You’d often end up running from the purple dragons and have the guys rush in and help- leo would always scold you for walking around at night alone in dangerous areas.
-you and mikey got along pretty well actually! You were both little chaos demons and water balloon fights often ended with you both drying off and being sure neither of you hurt eachother too much.
-you were really clumsy too- even when you werent trying to get hurt you managed to fall and run into things. You were used to fixing yourself up but now everyone was ready to sit you down and fix you up themself.
-the one who did it most often was april! She had seen you bandage yourself and it wasn’t…the best? You did it fast without thought to how clean the area was and she couldn’t let you keep doing that. She would have you sit down in donnies lab so yall had a lil privacy and then clean up your injury and bandage it properly.
-she definetly scolds you for the dumb stuff you do but its because she cares about you and wants you to be okay. She will be sure to walk with you to school so she can watch you up until classes split you up. You even sit with her at lunch now- its nice :)
-donnie often had to tell you not to touch stuff in his lab- not only did he not want you to get hurt more but he didn’t want you to ruin any of his projects. He made a whole board of rules for you and mikey. Mikey wasn’t there when it was put up so you texted him a pic simply sayin “I think this is our fault-”. and yes. Yes it is , Y/N.
-on the menace side you already know raphs gonna be encouraging bullshit. If he’s going out alone he’ll let you know so if you want you can “secretly follow”. you both lash out in different ways for different reasons and its nice to share that with eachother.
-a couple times you even got to join in the ass kicking with him- though your style is…VERY chaotic compared to his- he loves it and you two always have fun together even if you can get on his nerves sometimes.
-you and leo didn’t get along too bad actually. Once he was used to you he kinda compared you to mikey in his head. He tried to understand how you worked - especially after he learned about differences making a team stronger. That being said he doesnt understand everything and you both argue over your impulsivity often.
-splinter himself often worries for you and facepalms at most the stuff you do. What are those things? Let me list them :)
-you frequently fell down the ladder into the sewers
-got in the middle of fights and got the hell kicked out of you
-had run ins with the cops
-got in trouble at school for accidentally destroying things
-nearly got run over cause you didn’t look when crossing the road
-you had nearly fell into a LOT of mutagen and if mikey didn’t grab you we don’t know wtf would have happened
-repeatedly fallen down the stairs at the lair and in your apartment complex
-nearly fallen off several rooftops
-commited some casual arson
-drank detergent
-did the cinnimon challenge
-almost burnt the lair down when mikey tried teaching you to cook
AND MORE! :D
-buuut he still sees you as one of his own- no matter how many gray hairs you give him.
-overall the team does love you and you love them! Just please…stop stealing stop signs…please-
