[[The Fam]]

Sais are BETTER: 

DONATELLO

Turtle Titan: 

Maybe his experiment is taking a while

Braincell: 

See now you’re spelling normally

Turtle Titan: 

Ay dun now wat u meen

Braincell: 

You’re as bad as Casey

Bonehead: 

HEY

wait why is my name bonehead i didn’t make it that

Turtle Titan: 

I thought it fit more than “best hockey player ever”

Bonehead:

change it back im more than a bonehead

Turtle Titan: 

funeee

[ Turtle Titan changed Bonehead ’s name to April’s boytoy ]

Turtle Titan: 

Theere 

April’s boytoy: 

ill except it

Braincell: 

Casey that’s sweet but it’s accept

And Mike you pick the weirdest sentences to type correctly 

Turtle Titan:

It’s part of my charm Awpirk

Braincell: 

Donny please come back I can’t live like this

[[The Fam]]

Katanas: 

It’s been a few hours now, @Resident Genius

Sais are BETTER: 

I say we bust down the door

Katanas:

You always say that

April’s boytoy:

i agree with Raph

Katanas: 

You always agree with Raph!

Besides you don’t get a vote you aren’t even here

April’s boytoy:

i live for destruction of property

Katanas:

I know

Turtle Titan: 

Hey dudes for completely valid reasons I snuck into Don’s lab and uh

He’s not here

Katanas: 

What do you mean he’s not here 

Turtle Titan: 

I mean he’s not in the lab

Sais are BETTER: 

@Resident Genius

Katanas: 

Did he leave the lair?

Sais are BETTER: 

I’ve been in the living room, I would’ve seen him leave 

Katanas:

Don’t panic yet. We probably just missed him, or maybe he has an exit in the lab

Sais are BETTER: 

I wasn’t panicking

Turtle Titan: 

Sure

Sais are BETTER:

I wasn’t

Turtle Titan: 

Is that why you’ve checked his door three times

Sais are BETTER:

I don’t have to answer your stupid questions Mikey

@Resident Genius

Braincell:

I can track his phone if you’d like

It’s a little weird that he hasn’t responded

Katanas:

That would be amazing April, please

Turtle Titan:

And this, my gentleturts and gentleman, is why April is the braincell 

April’s boytoy:

what happened to spelling everything wrong

Turtle Titan:

It’s more effort to misspell everything than to just type them correctly dude

And I am one lazy turtle

Braincell:

Anyway

I’ll let you know if I find him, Leo

Katanas:

Thanks, April

[[tortles]]

Katanas:

Donny, if something happened and you just don’t want April or Casey or Sensei to know you can tell us in this chat

We won’t be mad

Sais are BETTER: 

His icon says he’s offline

Turtle Titan: 

Yeah but you can change it to say you’re always offline

Katanas: 

@Resident Genius ?

Turtle Titan:

Dudes im getting worried

He usually responds right away or tells us beforehand if he won’t 

Katanas:

He did tell us he was running an experiment 

Sais are BETTER: 

He said that HOURS ago Fearless

I think we can panic now

Katanas:

We’ll wait to see what April finds

He probably just went out and fell asleep somewhere

Or his phone died

Sais are BETTER:

Do we get to yell at him for disappearing 

Katanas:

He probably just lost track of time, Raph

Mikey

Turtle Titan:

I didn’t say anything!

Katanas:

Don’s most likely fine

Turtle Titan:

I know, I’m just getting a bad feeling about it

Dons not the kind of turtle to just vanish into thin air

Katanas:

There’s probably a reasonable explanation

—

[[The Fam]]

Braincell: 

@everyone

Katanas: 

April did you find him?

Sais are BETTER:

Or at least his phone so we have a place to look?

Braincell:

His phone’s signal is gone

Katanas: 

What do you mean?

Braincell: 

I mean I can’t track his phone, because my computer is saying it doesn’t exist 

Sais are BETTER:

What?

Braincell:

His phone is gone 

Which does answer the question of why he wasn’t answering 

Turtle Titan:

But what does it mean if his phone signal is gone?

Is he

Braincell: 

I can’t say for sure what it means

His phone could have been destroyed

Katanas:

Are you able to figure out where the phone was before it was destroyed?

Braincell:

It says it was in his lab and then vanished

Sais are BETTER:

We already knew that damnit April

Katanas:

Don’t get mad at April, Raph

She’s trying to help

Sais are BETTER: 

Whatever

Katanas:

I know you’re worried, but fighting isn’t going to fix anything

Sais are BETTER:

It would make me feel better

Katanas:

Then go spar with Mikey or Casey

April’s boytoy:

me and April are on the way over already

we’ll be there in a little bit

Katanas: 

Thank you guys

@Father have you been reading these?

Sais are BETTER:

Dad’s just staring at his phone doing the head tilt thing

Turtle Titan:

I think he got locked out of his phone again

Sais are BETTER:

Aint my turn to help him I did it last time

April’s boytoy:

April says that it’s her turn but we’re still a little ways away

Turtle Titan: 

Fineeeee I’ll go help him

[[The Fam]]

Resident Genius:

[voice recording: 

“I think we might’ve broken through the barrier.” Donny’s voice announced. 

“How will we know if we’ve been successful, though? What if we’re trapped here?” Another voice asked, sounding incredibly high-strung. 

“I wouldn’t worry too much, everything always works out here!” A third voice piped up. 

“I wish that were true in my world.” The second voice replied, wistfully. “We would’ve stopped the Kraang a lot sooner.” 

“The what?” Donny asked. 

“We can talk about it later.” 

“We have a Krang here, but he’s not much of a problem.” The third voice cheerfully added. “He’s pretty easy to beat.” 

“Getting back on track, assuming we’ve successfully broken through to my family, we should be able to replicate it with yours, Dee.” Donny said, a smile in his voice. 

“I hope so,” the second voice - Dee - seemed relieved. “As fun as this has been, I would really like to go home. I was in the middle of something and my brothers might actually destroy my lab looking for me.” 

“You don’t like being 2-dimensional?” The third voice asked, playfully offended. 

“I need you to stop talking.” Dee replied. “It’s giving me a headache.” 

“You didn’t say that during our last crossover.” 

“I had a way of getting back, then!” Dee defended himself. “I don’t care if I’m 2-D or 3-D, I just want to be home!” 

“I hope my brothers are able to communicate whether or not we were successful.” Donny hummed. “I’m not sure they’ll be able to hear us very well, and I don’t want to risk it simply jumping through.” 

Dee suddenly yelped. “Guys is that-”

:end recording]

[[The Fam]]

Katanas: 

DONNY?!?!?!

Sais are BETTER: 

You can’t just leave after dropping that!

Turtle Titan:

Hey did those voices sound really familiar to you guys?

Katanas:

Now that I’m listening again, they do sound familiar

Sais are BETTER:

I can’t tell 

I talk to a lot of people

Turtle Titan: 

No you don’t???

Katanas:

I got it!

Remember that other version of us?

That voice sounded like Donny’s alternate

And the Dee one kind of sounded like Raph’s

Turtle Titan: 

Why are they calling Raph’s mini me Dee?

Katanas:

It might not be him, maybe they just sound similar?

Sais are BETTER: 

So why would Don be with our alternates? 

I thought we were never gonna see them again

April’s boytoy: 

April says she rechecked the signal

Don’s phone is still missing

Didn’t even get a blip when he sent the recording

Sais are BETTER: 

Are we ignoring that something happened that cut them off?

Katanas:

I don’t think there’s anything we can do, Raph

April still can’t track the phone

Turtle Titan: 

We can’t just do nothing!

Katanas: 

I know that!

We’ll wait for April and Casey to get here and figure out what to do from there

April’s boytoy:

We’re pulling in now

—

[[The Fam]]

Resident Genius:

[voice recording: 

“-can hear me, I think.” Donny’s voice came through slightly staticky. “My current idea is that it just takes a while for our messages to go through, so we’ll have to account for that. We’re getting their messages, but I don’t think they’re getting ours.”

“The signal in this dimension is terrible.” Dee sighed. “If we want to stay in contact, we’ll have to come up with a way to overcome that.” 

“We should be able to set one up pretty easily. Were you able to contact your dimension?” Donny asked.

“I was able to kind of tell April what was going on, and she said she’ll relay it to my brothers.” Dee confirmed. “She should be able to keep an eye on things from my dimension, at least.” 

“She’s always had a nose for news.” The third voice from earlier commented.

“Donatello, my April isn’t a news reporter. You know that.” Dee sounded slightly annoyed.

“I’m holding out hope that she will be.” Donatello replied cheerfully.

“Maybe she’ll be a scientist, like my April.” Donny suggested. “From what Dee’s said, she seems to find science interesting.” 

“ Anyway, ” Dee said, “I believe that if we combine the portal gun that Donatello has with our t-phone and shell cell signals, we theoretically could get back home.” 

“We should probably fix Donatello’s signal first.” Donny began. “Oh, my battery’s dying, let me turn this off.” 

:end recording] 

Katanas: 

Oh my god he’s in another dimension

Braincell:

Well that explains why he wasn’t responding

Sais are BETTER: 

The real question is can we handle three Donatellos

Turtle Titan: 

Finally fixed Master Splinter’s phone!

Oh what the fuck

[ Resident Genius has invited you to a new server!]

Father: 

Why was I just added to another “server” titled “Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello”? 

Chapter Text

[[Ninjaaaaa (+ Casey ig)]]

~Telepath~: 

Ok update on the whole ‘missing donnie’ thing

He’s in an alternate dimension

Captain Ryan: 

Excuse me

~Telepath~:

Remember those little guys that thought I was too young to wear a jumpsuit? And thought I was a news reporter?

kys:

don’t tell me

~Telepath~: 

Yeah he’s in another dimension with his alternate

I’m pretty sure there’s another version of him there as well, not just the little guy

Captain Ryan:

How do you know?

~Telepath~: 

[Photo ID: 

A screenshot of a conversation between Donnie and April:

Coffee IV: 

Donatello, Donny and I are working on a way to get back to our dimensions

Can you keep an eye on the kraang tech in my lab and see if there’s anything weird about it?

~Telepath~: 

It has a code running across the screen

Do you want me to send it to you

Coffee IV: 

That code is exactly what we’re looking for

Please

:end ID]

Captain Ryan: 

Ah

Turtlefly ^_^:

Dudes i loved the little guys!

They were so funny buzz buzz

They yelled turtle power a lot

kys:

stop with the buzzing

and fucking hell don’t remind me

you would like them

they were annoying as you are

poor don

Captain Ryan: 

Who’s ‘Donny’ then?

*explosive hockey pucks*

why does he spell his name with a y

wait have I been spelling Dee’s name wrong this whole time

kys:

no dumbass it’s Donnie

this other version of him spells it with a y

*explosive hockey pucks*

dude why tf are you in such a mood

kys:

idk man, I woke up this morning to find one of my brothers missing

and then we found out that he’s in a different dimension

and we have NO IDEA if we’re ever gonna see him again

~Telepath~:

Is now a good time to mention that Donnie and his counterparts have a plan to get home

kys:

…

Turtlefly ^_^:

April you are the queen of comedic timing buzz buzz

Teach me your ways

~Telepath~:

Thanks I try

Anyway

Donnie didn’t tell me their plan fully, but I think they’re using his phone’s connection to this dimension to triangulate a safe position to send him back, and they're using the Kraang tech (which has been emitting a beacon) here to stabilize the signal

Turtlefly^_^:

I’m sure that means something to someone

Could you say in easier terms for Raph, buzz buzz

kys:

fuck off mike

~Telepath~: 

They’re using his phone to figure out where this dimension is compared to the one he’s in, and they’re using the Kraang tech to make sure they’re right

Turtlefly^_^: 

Ohhhh

I’m sure Raph gets it now, buzz buzz

kys:

if you dont stop with the buzzing im going to hurt you

Turtlefly^_^:

You love me too much to hurt me, buzz buzz

[ Coffee IV has invited you to a new server!]

~Telepath~:

Well he didn’t tell me that part

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

[ Donatello has invited Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Master Splinter, and Channel 6 News Reporter to the chat!]

[ Donatello has invited Resident Genius and Coffee IV to the chat!]

[ Donatello has made Resident Genius and Coffee IV admins!]

[ Resident Genius has invited Katanas, Sais are BETTER, Turtle Titan, Braincell, April’s boytoy, and Father to the chat!]

[ Coffee IV has invited Captain Ryan, kys, Turtlefly^_^, ~Telepath~, and *explosive hockey pucks* to the chat!]

Donatello: 

Hello, other versions of us!

kys:

WHAT THE FUCK

Coffee IV:

Ignore him

Turtlefly^_^:

Way ahead of you, dude

Resident Genius: 

I feel like I’m going to regret this but 

@everyone

Coffee IV: 

How bold

Katanas: 

DONNY?!?!?

Sais are BETTER:

Where are you?!?!?

Resident Genius:

Dee, Donatello, I believe introductions are in order

Donatello, you can go first since we’re in your sewer

Donatello:

Thank you, other Donatello!

Coffee IV:

Come on man, we agreed on nicknames so we wouldn’t confuse anyone

Raphael:

Yeah, the readers are really going to struggle if you keep it up, Donatello! 

I refuse to get canceled again

kys:

oh gross it’s you

Raphael:

Right back at ya buddy!

Turtlefly^_^:

You walked into that one, buzz buzz

Katanas:

Why are you buzzing

Turtlefly^_^:

Cuz im Turtlefly, yo! BUZZ BUZZ

Coffee IV:

Ignore him

Donatello:

Okay! I’m Donatello

Sais are BETTER:

Obviously

Donatello:

Now I know the theme song says you’re rude but that doesn’t mean you need to be rude all the time

Sais are BETTER:

What

Donatello:

The other Dons and I have been calling my universe the 1987-verse, or just 87 for short

Michelangelo:

Amigo that name is so boring

Donatello:

We can come up with a better one later

Anyway, @Leonardo , @ Raphael , @ Michelangelo , and @ Master Splinter are also from my universe

And @Channel 6 News Reporter is our April O’Neil

I believe you all added your Aprils as well?

Channel 6 News Reporter: 

Gosh, what a scoop! 

There are more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Braincell:

I… cannot imagine being a news reporter

April’s boytoy:

You did pretend to be a news reporter that one time

Braincell: 

Yeah, but it was never my job

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Oh, you must be my alternate! Hi!

Braincell:

Hello? 

Sorry, this is kind of… insane

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I wish there was a way of proving this to my boss, he’d lose his mind!

~Telepath~:

I’m getting the vibes that we are very different people

Resident Genius:

To continue introductions: 

I am Donatello as well, and we’ve called my universe the 2003-verse or 03

My brothers are @Katanas , @ Sais are BETTER , and @ Turtle Titan

It’s probably obvious who is who

My April is @Braincell and my Casey Jones is @ April’s boytoy

Our Splinter is @Father but I wouldn’t expect him to really talk much - he doesn’t really get how to use a phone

Turtlefly^_^:

Hey why do you guys get dads that’s not fair buzz buzz

Captain Ryan:

Mikey it is way too soon for dead dad jokes

Turtlefly^_^:

Who’s gonna tell me to stop? 

My dad? 

He’s dead, buzz buzz , he can’t tell me to do anything

Coffee IV:

Lmao

Captain Ryan: 

Don’t encourage him

Coffee IV:

I literally didn’t I just laughed

God forbid a turtle laugh

Anyway, I’m Donatello as well, and we’ve called my dimension the 2012-verse, or 12

My brothers are @Captain Ryan , @ kys , and @ Turtlefly^_^

My April is @~Telepath~ , and my Casey is @ *explosive hockey pucks*

Captain Ryan:

Don’t do it Dee

Coffee IV:

There is no Splinter because he’s dead

Captain Ryan:

DONNIE

kys:

sorry Fearless this is how we cope

Katanas:

I’m… sorry for your loss

Turtlefly^_^:

haha yeah we still have nightmares buzz buzz

*explosive hockey pucks*:

cmon man they don’t need to know that

Leonardo:

Someone change the subject before it gets awkward

April’s boytoy:

wait is it Donn-IE or Donn-Y?

*explosive hockey pucks*:

yk I asked the same thing

Donatello:

Ooh, I can answer that! 

03 spells it Donn-Y

12 spells it Donn-IE

We don’t use nicknames in my dimension

Michelangelo:

Maybe we should, I like the name Mikey!

Coffee IV:

Casey you’ve known me for how long now?

*explosive hockey pucks*:

its not my fault ive never seen you write your name

April’s boytoy:

he gets it

Sais are BETTER:

Now that introductions are out of the way

@Resident Genius where are ya?! 

And how the shell are you getting home?

kys:

@Coffee IV the questions go for you, too

Resident Genius:

Currently, @Coffee IV and I are in 87’s dimension

Coffee IV:

As for our return, we’re working on it

Donatello:

We were mostly working on this chat room and the server it’s on so we could remain in contact after they got home

Katanas:

I wish I was surprised

Captain Ryan:

I wish I was surprised

Turtle Titan:

Ha, you jinxed each other!

Resident Genius:

Well it’s not everyday you come into contact with alternate dimensions!

Besides, between three Donatellos, we’ll figure it out, even if it takes us all night

Leonardo:

We’re watching them, don’t worry! 

There will not be any all nighters in this universe

Donatello:

Leonardo, we have to get them home!

Raphael:

Donatello, we can get them home tomorrow if you can’t figure it out before bed

Michelangelo:

Just think of the example you’d set for the kids! You don’t want them to think it’s okay to stay up all night, would you?

Donatello:

Well… 

Coffee IV:

I don’t think Donny or I could sleep right now

Resident Genius:

There’s also the matter of whether or not the universe will collapse if we’re here too long

Katanas:

WHAT

Resident Genius:

I mean what who said that

Coffee IV: 

I didn’t say anything, did you Donatello?

Donatello:

Nope!

Besides, it’s most likely fine, everything always works out in this universe 

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Except getting a really good scoop. My boss is gonna have my head if I can’t find something soon

Michelangelo:

At least you always get one over on mean ol Vernon!

Channel 6 News Reporter:

You’re right!

Braincell:

Wait, why don’t you (87) have a Casey Jones?

Leonardo:

Oh, we do! We just aren’t super close with him

Raphael:

We don’t have his number

Michelangelo:

We’ve also never seen his face

kys:

i wish we hadn’t seen casey’s face

*explosive hockey pucks*:

what the hell raph

Master Splinter:

Watch the profanity. 

- Master Splinter

*explosive hockey pucks*:

sorry sir

kys:

pfft

Resident Genius:

It’s nice to know that our dad isn’t the only one to sign his messages

Turtle Titan:

I think he got locked out of his phone again and I am not helping again it takes forever

Braincell:

I’ll do it, give me a second

Captain Ryan:

Our dad didn’t even have a cell phone

Turtlefly^_^:

He had the cheese phone!

Buzz buzz

Sais are BETTER:

The what?

Captain Ryan:

We only ever used that in emergencies

Coffee IV: 

I literally offered to make him a t-phone so many times

Turtle Titan:

Dudes Master Splinter would love a cheese phone

Katanas: 

Mikey he’s in this chat he’ll be able to see it

Turtle Titan:

Oops

Donny can you delete that

[ Resident Genius deleted the message:

Turtle Titan: Dudes Master Splinter would love a cheese phone ]

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Donatello: 

@everyone

[live stream:

87 Donatello is standing in front of his newly built phone with a grin. He steps back, showing 12 Dee and 03 Donny behind him. Both of them are closer to matching the 87 artstyle, all of Donny’s sharper edges are smoothed out, and Dee is in 2-D. 

“Okay, we think we figured it out!” Donatello says, clapping enthusiastically. 

“The reason Dee and I are here is because of a coincidence, really.” Donny takes over, holding up a duplicate of the portal gun Donatello had used during their crossover. “I was messing with this, and Dee was messing with portal tech in his dimension.” 

“And since we had both been in the 87 universe at some point, that’s where we were-” Dee makes a popping noise. “-zapped.” 

“And while we were here, we were somehow able to contact our dimensions through our phones.” Donny shakes his cell-shell, which Dee has updated to give a better screen to. 

“This created a link between the three of our dimensions.” Donatello says, wrapping an arm around his counterparts. “So we should, theoretically, be able to follow the links to send Donny and Dee back.” 

Dee picks up his phone when it buzzes. “My April is standing by. She’s using the Kraang portal device to stabilize the portals on the off chance it starts to fail.” He glances up, eyes widening when he realizes Donatello’s phone is recording still. “It’s a low chance!” He quickly adds, waving his hands frantically.

Donny shoots off a text. “My April’s monitoring the best she can with my computer, but it’s really now or never.” 

Donatello takes the portal gun from Donny. “Everyone ready?” 

He receives two affirmative nods. 

Dee taps something on his phone, and Donatello points the machine towards him. 

“Ready!” Dee announces, and Donatello clicks a button. A laser shoots out of the portal gun, and a triangular portal appears. Dee steps through, and there is a bright flash, whiting out Donatello’s camera for a moment. 

Dee and the portal are gone when the camera refocuses.]

Katanas:

That looks terrifying 

Sais are BETTER:

Did he make it???

~Telepath~:

He’s through! 

[photo ID:

Donnie is on the floor of his lab, Mikey on top of him, clearly having just tackled him. Raph is mid-leap behind Mikey, clearly aiming for Donnie as well. Leo’s mask tails are all that is visible as he is mid-run into the lab. Casey is seen on the opposite side of the lab, phone in hand, taking a video.]

Braincell:

Oh thank god

Okay, Donny, when you’re ready, we’re ready

Donatello:

[live stream:

Donatello points the portal gun towards Donny, who takes a deep breath. 

“Ready.” 

He fires, and another portal appears behind Donny. This one is mostly blue and chaotic looking, with purple lights flickering through it. 

Donny steps through it, and there is a bright flash, whiting out the camera again. When it has cleared, Donny is gone, as well as the portal.

:end live stream]

Did Donny make it home?

Braincell: 

Yes! He’s back!

[photo ID:

Donny is mid-yelp, squished in between his brothers, who are aggressively hugging him. Leo has a fond smile on his face from his position behind his brothers in the hug. Mikey has a huge grin from where he is squeezing the life out of Donny. Raph is on his other side, face not visible but clearly hugging him as tightly as Mikey is. Splinter is a few feet away, softly smiling while watching his sons. Casey is in the exact same position as his 2012 counterpart and is in the process of taking another photo.]

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Coffee IV:

Now you really didn’t need to send those pictures

Resident Genius:

A simple ‘yes they got through’ would have been sufficient

~Telepath~:

I was simply giving proof that you survived 

Michelangelo:

Aww you guys are so cute

kys:

If you didn’t want to get tackle hugged then don’t disappear into another dimension for days

Sais are BETTER:

What he said

Coffee IV:

I didn’t mean to go to another dimension 

Resident Genius:

I promise, I would never intentionally disappear like that without telling you

Trust me on that

Donatello:

But hey, at least we know the phones work in our respective universes now that everyone is back!

Turtlefly^_^:

Now that Donnie’s home, we can properly talk to each other!!!

@Michelangelo , @ Turtle Titan yk what that means?!??!
MIKEY GROUP CHAT LETS GO

Michelangelo:

It’s gonna be bodacious!

Turtle Titan:

YEAHHHH

Coffee IV: 

Maybe this was a bad idea

Katanas:

No more dimensional travel for a while, guys

But it would be interesting to talk to @Captain Ryan and @ Leonardo

Braincell: 

Now that I’m looking at these pictures…

Why is 12 Casey so young?

*explosive hockey pucks*:

wdym so young

I’m literally so old now

~Telepath~:

Since when is 19 old

Braincell:

I’m sorry did you just say 19

*explosive hockey pucks*:

wait how old are you and 03 casey

Braincell:

I’m 27 and he’s 28??

*explosive hockey pucks*:

wait fr

you’re lying

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I’m 28 as well

I don’t know about our Casey but he’s probably about the same

*explosive hockey pucks*:

thats actually crazy

we’re 19

Raphael: 

So you’re really putting the teenage in teenage mutant ninja turtles

*explosive hockey pucks*:

me and april are the same age as the guys

~Telepath~:

I’m guessing, based off their reactions, that our counterparts are NOT the same age as the turtles 

Channel 6 News Reporter: 

Nope! 

We keep it ambiguous but the turtles are teenagers

Raphael:

I don’t think we’re capable of aging up actually

Braincell: 

Excuse me

Coffee IV: 

We’ve learned not to question the 87 dimension

Resident Genius:

Ignoring that, my brothers and I are about 21 now

We can’t be certain because we don’t know how old we were when Splinter found us/we got mutated 

Captain Ryan:

Interesting, we count by our Mutation Day

We’re 19 now, April and Casey are a few months older

Katanas: 

Fascinating

kys:

Wait wdym by Splinter found you

Did he not get you from a pet shop?

Sais are BETTER: 

Wait what

He was a rat how would he have gotten us from a pet shop?

Turtlefly^_^:

Are you saying your Splinter was not originally a human buzz buzz

Turtle Titan: 

Are you saying yours was originally a human?

Turtlefly^_^:

Yes? 

He used to live in Japan and when Shredder attacked him and killed his wife he moved to America

Coffee IV: 

That is a very… concise retelling of the story

Katanas:

…what was your dad’s human name?

Captain Ryan: 

Hamato Yoshi?

Sais are BETTER: 

…

@Father

Someone make sure he sees these messages 

Leonardo:

Oh hey, our Sensei was Hamato Yoshi as well!

Katanas: 

Hold on I’ll go find him Raph

Captain Ryan: 

So wait, 03 Splinter wasn’t originally a human that got mutated into a rat??

Turtle Titan:

No, ours was a rat that got mutated into a larger, more intelligent rat

Captain Ryan: 

Then why did he know ninjutsu???

Father: 

Because I was the pet of Hamato Yosh, and I learned ninjutsu from him. 

 - Splinter

*explosive hockey pucks*:

rat jumpscare

kys: 

Stfu

Father: 

I mimicked his movements when I was a normal rat, and when the Shredder attacked us, Yoshi fled to America with me. After he had died, I wandered the streets alone, until I found the four turtles that would become my sons. They were in a pool of ooze, and when I tried to get them out, I found myself covered in it as well. We gained intellect and mass in the coming days, until they were walking and speaking like human toddlers.

 - Splinter

Turtlefly^_^:

Dudes he typed that so fast

Captain Ryan: 

That’s certainly… different to ours

Master Splinter: 

I believe I share a similar backstory with the 2012-verse’s late father. I was originally a human, Hamato Yoshi. I led the Foot Clan in Japan, where one of my students, Oroku Saki, framed me for attempted murder. I fled to America, and lived in the sewers for a long while. 

 - Master Splinter

~Telepath~:

Living in a sewer as a human must be terrible

Weren’t there any homeless shelters or something?

Master Splinter: 

I chose to live in them. They were peaceful.

 - Master Splinter

Turtlefly^_^:

April what are you talking about you lived with us for a while

~Telepath~: 

That was not by choice that was because Splinter told me I had to or the Kraang would actually hunt me down for sport

Katanas: 

H u h 

Captain Ryan:

That is not how he said that

~Telepath~:

I’m paraphrasing

Continue please, @Master Splinter

Master Splinter: 

I found the turtles in the sewers one day, and a few days later I came home and they were covered in ooze. I tried to clean them up, and the ooze made them more human, most likely because I was the last thing they touched. 

 - Master Splinter

Captain Ryan:

And I’m guessing you happened to touch a rat recently, so you turned into one?

Master Splinter:

Precisely, alternate Leonardo.

 - Master Splinter

kys:

yk im not fucking with the full names

Master Splinter:

Profanity, Raphael.

 - Master Splinter

*explosive hockey pucks*:

get his ass

Father:

Mr. Jones!

 - Splinter

Raphael:

I can feel that look from a universe away

Good to know other master splinters can do that

Coffee IV:

Maybe we should make a separate group chat so we don’t blow up someone’s phone whenever we talk

kys:

Don’t lie you just want to curse freely

Yaint slick

Coffee IV:

I don’t know what you’re talking about

Katanas:

I can’t believe you made me read the word ‘yaint’ 

Sais are BETTER:

You don’t fw yaint?

Katanas:

Stop

Turtle Titan:

I am a big fan of yaint

Braincell:

One of the Donatellos please

Make a mute function for the chat

Coffee IV:

We’ll… work on it

[[CAFFEINE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS]]

Donatello:

Fellow Donatellos! 

Can I add someone to this chat

Another Donatello

Coffee IV:

Did you discover another dimension?

Donatello:

Well, he discovered my universe, actually

Resident Genius:

…did he accidentally teleport to you

Donatello:

Yes.

Coffee IV:

And you’re certain he’s from an alternate dimension?

Donatello:

He doesn’t look enough like me to be a clone

If he was a clone or an evil me the animators would have made him look more like me

So the kids don’t get confused

Resident Genius:

Is he able to get home?

Donatello:

We’re working on it

He could probably explain it better than I could

Resident Genius:

It would be nice to meet another version of us

Coffee IV:

Didn’t your Leo say no more dimensional travel for awhile

Resident Genius:

He just hates scientific discovery

Go ahead and add him

[ Donatello has invited Othello Von Ryan to the chat!]

[ Donatello has made Othello Von Ryan an admin!]

Othello Von Ryan:

EXCITED GASP

Hello, fellow intellectuals

I am also a Donatello

Donatello:

I want you two to know he actually said “excited gasp” aloud instead of gasping

Coffee IV:

Honestly I get it

Chapter Text

[[CAFFEINE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS]]

Donatello:

[video call:

2018 Donatello steps away from the camera. His colors have been desaturated, and much like when Donny was in the 87 verse, his sharp lines are dulled to match the artstyle. He plops down onto a lab bench in the 87 lair, where 87 Donatello is sitting. 

“I’m an open book,” Othello says, voice completely dry, “Ask me anything.” He does some unenthusiastic jazz hands.]

Coffee IV:

[video call: 

Dee is leaning back on his chair in his lab. He has a notebook open on his desk, and is absentmindedly doodling something in the corner while he watches the screen. He taps his pencil against his chin while Othello speaks. “So, how did you get to the 87 dimension again?”]

Donatello:

[video call:

Othello steeples his fingers. “I had been monitoring the city for any energy spikes similar to that of when the Krang portal opened, just in case of a second attempt at invasion.”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee nods understandingly. “I always monitor over here as well. I can never trust that the Kraang are fully gone.”]

Donatello:

[video call:

Donatello glances between Othello and Dee on-screen with a slight horror. “I… am very glad that Krang has been so unsuccessful in this dimension. It probably helps that there’s only one.”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny looks slightly ill. “We don’t even have the Krang here. They sound similar to our Utroms, if the Utrom were… trying to take over the world.”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee perks up. “Oh, we have Utrom too! They’re a branch of the Kraang, but they’re the good guys. Agent Bishop explained the whole thing when he warned us about the Triceratons.”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

“I’m sorry, did you just say Agent Bishop?” Donny’s face is conflicted. “Your Bishop has always been an ally? Ours tried to kill us a bunch of times.”]

Donatello:

[video call:

Othello and Donatello exchange a glance, confused. “I don’t have an ‘Agent Bishop’, or at least, not one that I know of.” Othello says. 

“We don’t have one, either.” Donatello confirms.]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny thinks for a moment. “We seem to have weird things in common.” He shakes his head, refocusing. “So, where were we? You were monitoring for energy spikes?”]

Donatello:

[video call: 

Othello nods. “I had also been looking into alternate universes. Junior came from one, and I figured it was incredibly unlikely that there was only that future, especially once we changed the present. Well, I noticed a spike, and I looked into it as best I could.” He grins. “I discovered that there were, in fact, many alternate dimensions.” He paused for a moment, “They all share a type of ‘code’, or at least that’s how I’ve been thinking about it. I also noticed that there were… connections to some of the universes.”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

“That makes sense,” Donny says, a slight smile forming on his face, “When the 87 turtles met my universe, their Shredder re-awakened our Shredder. He tried to destroy us by going to what he called Turtle Prime, or I suppose the main dimension?” Donny writes something down. “We actually visited the Turtle Prime universe. It felt like… if a comic book was real.”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee sits up straighter. “Was it in black and white?”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny blinks. “Um, yes?” Realization dawns. “You said you had a ‘crossover’ with the 87 turtles before this, right? Did you go to the Prime universe, too?”]

Donatello:

[video call: 

Donatello grins. “We did! We never saw the Prime Turtles, so it was a much shorter visit than the one we had.” 

Othello has whipped out a holographic notepad on his tech-gauntlet. When Donatello finishes speaking, he looks up from his notes. He switches ‘tabs’ on his tech-gauntlet, pulling up another set of notes. 

“While I was doing my research on the universe that was the most connected, the one you all call the ‘Prime’ universe or Turtle Prime-” He adds the label to the universe in his notes, “I noticed there were faint hints of the other universes in the 87 coding. I now know that was because of your ‘crossovers’.” Othello shrugs. “Forgive me, I was curious as to why there was some… residue of 87 in the 2012 and 2003 universes, and vice versa. All of you had gone to Turtle Prime as well. So I looked into 87 more closely. The spike had been from the 1987-verse.”

“When Dee and Donny sent themselves here.” Donatello realizes. 

“Precisely.”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny leans back, contemplative. “So you noticed the energy change when Dee and I appeared, so did you get another one when we returned?”]

Donatello:

[video call:

Othello nods. “I got two, one right after another. I decided to try and induce my own ‘crossover’ with 87. I infused one of my machines with my ninpō to see if I could form a connection. Unfortunately, instead of establishing communication like I intended, I accidentally sent myself here.”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee looks up from where he is making his own notes. “So we need to figure out a way to get you home. Have you been able to get in contact with your dimension yet?” He asks, setting the pencil down.]

Donatello: 

[video call:

Othello shakes his head. “I sent a text to my family, but there haven’t been any responses yet.” He verbalizes a sigh. “I am… unsure as to if their lack of response is because they simply haven’t seen my messages, or if it's not going through.”

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee ‘hmm’s thoughtfully. “Do you have read receipts on-”

There is an explosion in another room. Dee whips around.]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny leans forward, looking concerned. “Dee, are you okay?”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee is still facing away from his computer, staring at the entrance to his lab. “It wasn’t in my lab. I’m gonna say it was one of my brothers blowing something up.” He glances towards the screen, trepidation on his face. “I’m just hoping it wasn’t Leo blowing up the toaster.”]

Donatello:

[video call:

Othello leans close to the screen. “Is that a common occurrence?” 

Donatello wistfully sighs, pulling Othello back. “We haven’t had a nice explosion in awhile.”

Othello has a slightly manic grin on his face as he looks at Donatello. “We could change that~”

Donatello blinks.]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

“Do not blow up Donatello’s lair.” Donny scolds immediately.]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Dee turns back towards the entrance. 12 Leo walks in, somewhat sheepishly. He is covered in soot.

“Did you blow up the toaster again?” He asks, annoyed.]

Donatello: 

[video call:

Donatello snickers at the look on 12 Leo’s face. Othello’s eyebrows are taking up half of the screen as he leans incredibly close to the screen.

“I would never suggest blowing up the lair, I’ve seen blown up lairs and they’re terrible. I’m suggesting a minor explosion to satisfy my need for chaos.” He gestures towards Donatello, who had pulled some… contraption out of thin air. “Besides, he’s on board with an explosion!”

“We haven’t had an explosion since Mikey tried making metal pizza again a week ago.”]

Coffee IV:

[video call:

Leo wrings his hands together. “It was the microwave.” He doesn’t seem to notice the screen, too focused on his embarrassment. 

Dee lets out an incredibly loud groan.]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

“Metal pizza?” There is horror in Donny’s voice.]

Donatello:

[video call:

Donatello suddenly gasps. “Othello!” He shakes his counterpart. “We could blow up the microwave!”

“Why?” Othello asks, “Don’t you need that? Not that I’m not down for some property destruction.” 

“So Dee’s not alone when he fixes his!”]

Resident Genius:

[video call:

Donny pauses in his attempts to stop Donatello and Othello from causing explosions. “Wait, that’s actually kind of sweet.”]

Donatello: 

[video call:

Donatello continues shaking Othello. “We could have a microwave fixing party! We can go on call and fix the microwaves together!” 

Othello is finally released. He taps a finger against his tech-gauntlet, summoning a holographic notepad. “We could make it a learning experience.”]

Resident Genius:

[video call: 

“It would be a good way to learn about the differences in our universes’ technologies…” Donny considers.]

Coffee IV:

[video call: 

Dee is gone from his lab at this point. “How did this even happen?!” His exasperated voice echoes from another room.]

Donatello:

[video call: 

Donatello holds up his contraption again. “We can use this to blow it up, then we can take it to my lab and fix it!” He hands the device to Othello.

Othello studies it with great interest. His goggles have slid down and he is enthusiastically typing notes again.]

Resident Genius: 

[video call: 

Donny has successfully been convinced. He gets up, off to destroy his microwave and join the fixing party.]

Donatello:

[video call: 

Donatello and Othello leave as well. Michelangelo walks into the lab, confused when he sees the empty call, but shrugs it off and walks away.]

[[The Fam]]

Sais are BETTER: 

where the FUCK is our microwave 

case and i wanted to make popcorn

Turtle Titan: 

Don took it to his lab after he blew it up

Sais are BETTER:

fuck you mean blew it up

Turtle Titan:

Idk dude I walked into the kitchen and he literally was in the process of exploding it

Sais are BETTER:

why?????

Turtle Titan:

Bro I literally gave you all the information i had

—

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Leonardo: 

Whose Donatello is in my kitchen right now

Katanas:

WHAT

Turtle Titan:

Don’t worry Leo it’s not ours

Don’s in his lab

kys:

ours is fixing our microwave because fearless blew it up again

Sais are BETTER:

good to know that’s a Leo thing

Katanas:

It’s not my fault the microwave hates me

Sais are BETTER:

and the toaster hates you too?

Leonardo:

Well it’s not my Donatello, because he’s standing with him

Uh he has eyebrows? Ring any bells?

Raphael:

THEY BLEW UP THE MICROWAVE

Leonardo: 

????

Raphael:

OUR MICROWAVE IS IN PIECES

THEYRE LAUGHING

THEYRE LAUGHING AND OUR MICROWAVE IS IN PIECES

Leonardo:

I just went to get my phone to ask who is in my kitchen

And they blew it up

~Telepath~:

Three universes and not a single working microwave

It’s honestly impressive

Captain Ryan: 

I want to know whose Donatello is in the 87 kitchen

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Did Donatello get cloned again?

Captain Ryan: 

Excuse me again???

Raphael:

Nah Eyebrows doesn’t look enough like Donatello to be an in-universe clone so he’s probably an alternate

Though judging by the way he’s laughing I’d say he’s evil

Captain Ryan: 

Excuse me?????

Donatello:

I see we forgot to mention the fourth universe

Michelangelo:

Its okay dude you told me

Think you forgot to tell Leonardo and Raphael though

kys:

WHAT THE FUCK

Sais are BETTER:

????????

Katanas:

COME BACK HERE

YOU CANT JUST DROP THAT

Coffee IV:

We got too distracted with the microwaves to warn them

Resident Genius:

We really need to get Othello home but the exploding microwave was calling my name

Donatello:

Our name

Coffee IV:

He’s got a point

Katanas: 

You found another universe???

Sais are BETTER:

And instead of telling us you blew up your microwaves????

Resident Genius:

It was an honest mistake

We had been talking about how he got to the 87 verse

Coffee IV:

We were distracted by @ Captain Ryan breaking the microwave 

Katanas:

Why don’t you just add him to the chat 

Resident Genius:

We aren’t entirely sure if his phone will connect

Coffee IV:

His family isn’t answering his messages so he’s not sure if they’re going through or not

Captain Ryan: 

Can we go back to when Raphael said he’s evil

Donatello:

Raphael’s being overdramatic he’s not evil

Raphael:

He’s acting like a mad scientist

Donatello:

That’s just what he’s like

Captain Ryan: 

So he’s not evil?

Coffee IV:

No more than I am

Turtlefly^_^:

So he’s slightly evil

Captain Ryan:

That’s a little concerning

But you said his family isn’t answering?

Donatello:

Wait nevermind someone finally answered him

—

[[Mad Dogs + Pops]]

Othello Von Ryan:

@ everyone 

Are any of my messages coming through

CASEYJONES:

I’m getting them

Sorry for the late response I was playing hockey with Junior

Everyone else’s phones are broken right now

Othello Von Ryan:

What

CASEYJONES:

Long story short but

April dropped hers when Mayhem jumped at her and the screen shattered

Mikey accidentally flung his into the wall when April shrieked

Leo laughed at Mikey so Mikey tried to take his phone

And while they were fighting Leo’s phone got flung towards me and Junior, and we were in the process of a mock hockey match

And instead of the puck we hit Leo’s phone 

Then everyone went after Raph’s phone and he panicked and ate it

Junior forgot his password and locked himself out permanently

Not sure how he managed that

Othello Von Ryan: 

I leave for five minutes and everything goes to shit

Honestly, I’m surprised that you didn’t break yours

CASEYJONES:

I simply have superior grip on my phone

Also it was in my bag

Othello Von Ryan: 

Long sigh

At least I now know my messages are getting through

I will fix their phones when I get back

CASEYJONES:

Also the microwave spontaneously combusted, or so Leo claims

Where did you go?

Othello Von Ryan:

Groan. Of course it did

I’ll explain when I get back

CASEYJONES:

That is acceptable

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

[ Donatello has invited Othello Von Ryan to the chat!]

Othello Von Ryan:

Ah, stolen Donatello joke, nice

And my admin powers are still standing! Wonderful

Hello, alternate versions of my family

kys:

WHAT THE FUCK

Othello Von Ryan:

I would add my family but somehow Casey is the only one with a working phone right now

You all have Casey, correct?

April’s boytoy:

I’m Casey

*explosive hockey pucks*:

I’m also Casey

Othello Von Ryan:

There are three universes in here and there’s only 2 Caseys?

Who got lucky?

Turtlefly^_^:

Skdedjoeid this Don is salty

Othello Von Ryan:

Casey’s a very terrifying individual

I mean she’s trustworthy and kind

kys:

HWAT???

~Telepath~:

Did you mean she or was that a typo

Othello Von Ryan:

Oh, right

Your Caseys are male, correct?

Fascinating differences between our universes

Katanas:

A female Casey Jones?

*explosive hockey pucks*:

wait how old is she

not in a weird way but we have a bet going

Turtlefly^_^:

Starting off by saying not in a weird way definitely makes it weirder

*explosive hockey pucks*:

stfu

Othello Von Ryan:

What kind of bet?

She’s 19, same as April

Braincell:

Damnit!

*explosive hockey pucks*:

HA SUCK IT

another win for the teenager casey and april

Leonardo:

Interesting, 2 of 4 universes have their Caseys and Aprils as teenagers

And the others have adults

Othello Von Ryan:

19 technically is an adult

Braincell:

I’m 27

Othello Von Ryan:

Holy fuck you’re old

I mean

Wow what a difference

Nailed it

kys:

yk i’m liking this Donnie

Coffee IV:

Circling back, how is Casey the only one with a working phone?

Othello Von Ryan:

April dropped hers, Mikey dropped his, Leo’s got used as a hockey puck, Raph ate his, and Junior somehow locked himself out forever

Katanas:

I’m sorry did you say Raph ate his

Turtle Titan:

Sjkaslsjjdwdl yum

Turtlefly^_^:

I think I would cry if I dropped my phone and it broke

Captain Ryan:

Did you say your Leo’s got used as a hockey puck???

Michelangelo:

Also who is Junior?

Othello Von Ryan:

Casey’s son from the future

*explosive hockey pucks*:

excuse me

Othello Von Ryan:

It’s a long story involving an apocalyptic future timeline

Resident Genius:

I’m getting very sick of apocalyptic future timelines

[ Resident Genius deleted the message:

Resident Genius: I’m getting very sick of apocalyptic future timelines ]

Sais are BETTER: 

What?

Resident Genius:

What?

Othello Von Ryan:

Anyway

I’m currently a little stuck in the 87 dimension

Donatello:

We were working on a way to bring you home

But now that we know your phone is still connected to your universe, it should be the same as how we got Dee and Donny home

Raphael:

Please send him home

He convinced you to blow up the microwave

Othello Von Ryan:

If it helps my microwave is broken as well

~Telepath~:

Four universes and not a single working microwave

Impressive

Chapter Text

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

[ Othello Von Ryan has invited Neon Leon, Big Red, M A G I C  H A N D S, Sherlock_Corn, CASEYJONES, and CASEYJONES2 to the chat!]

Othello Von Ryan:

This is the multiversal group chat I was trying to explain to you all

All, this is my family

I was finally able to add them after spending several hours fixing all their phones

@ Neon Leon is Leo, @ Big Red is Raph, @ M A G I C  H A N D S is Mikey, @ Sherlock_Corn is April, @ CASEYJONES is Casey, and @ CASEYJONES2 is Junior

I would have added our Splinter but he refuses to learn how to operate a smartphone

[Resident Genius pinned a message from Othello Von Ryan ]

Neon Leon:

i really thought you were just fucking with us

like you were mad that we all completely destroyed our phones

Othello Von Ryan:

I would never lie about multiversal discovery

Besides, as punishment for breaking your phone I have simply blocked youtube

Neon Leon:

im gonna throw myself back into the prison dimension 

Big Red:

Leo 

We talked about this

Turtle Titan:

Motherhen Raphie alert

Sais are BETTER:

@ Captain Ryan he started it

Captain Ryan:

Raph stop bullying Mikey

Mikey stop bullying Raph

Now stop pinging me I’m trying to watch Space Heroes

kys:

youve already seen it all

Captain Ryan:

And I’m watching it again

Neon Leon:

what’s space heroes

kys:

oh god why would you ask

Neon Leon:

And also, you all know who we are so can we please know who you are???

Donatello:

We really should have pinned the introductions we made a couple chapters back

Neon Leon:

chapters?

Othello Von Ryan:

Don’t ask

Neon Leon:

?????

Resident Genius:

Here, 87 did the intros last time, I can do them this time

We’re all different universe-versions of you and your family, which I’m sure Othello explained

Sherlock_Corn:

Othello?

Othello:

There are three other versions of me and we were in a call together

We couldn’t all be ‘Donatello’ as amazing as it would be

87 is Donatello, 03 is Donny, 12 is Dee, and I’m Othello

Resident Genius:

We (Donatellos) have nicknames picked out for video calls and whatnot to make it easier

You don’t have to make any we just figured it would be easier

Anyway, my universe is 2003/03 and @ Father is our Splinter, @ Katanas is Leo, @ Sais are BETTER is Raph, @ Turtle Titan is Mikey, and @ Braincell is April, and @ April’s boytoy is Casey

[Othello Von Ryan pinned a message from Resident Genius ]

Sherlock_Corn:

April’s boytoy?

Othello:

The other versions of Casey are male, and in the 03 dimension, April and Casey are married

Sherlock_Corn:

Excuse me

~Telepath~:

As another April, don’t worry

I said the same thing

Resident Genius:

Yeah, we were surprised to find out that your April and Caseys weren’t together

Or adults

Anyway, there’s also the 1987/87 verse, where everyone’s users are just their names, except for their April, who is @ Channel 6 News Reporter  

[Othello Von Ryan pinned a message from Resident Genius]

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I was pinged!

Oh, another universe! 

Hello!!!

~Telepath~:

Did you miss when we talked about them?

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Oh, I got kidnapped again :)

And I had to wait for the Turtles to come save me again, because I was unconscious

I always put up too good of a fight! >:D

Sherlock_Corn:

Is kidnapping a common occurrence for you???

~Telepath~:

She said she gets kidnapped like every day

Sherlock_Corn:

How are you alive????

~Telepath~:

That’s what I said!

Braincell:

I’ve only been kidnapped a couple times, so it was a surprise to find out she dealt with it every day

~Telepath~:

I was only really kidnapped once, the other times were mostly just being captured and fighting my way out

Resident Genius:

Getting back on track because I don’t want to think about anyone being kidnapped!

There’s also the 2012/12 universe, which is @ Captain Ryan , who is Leo, @ kys is Raph, @ Coffee IV is Donnie, @ Turtlefly^_^ is Mikey, @ ~Telepath~ is April, and @ *explosive hockey pucks* is Casey

[Resident Genius pinned a message from Resident Genius ]

Resident Genius:

And that should be everyone?

Sherlock_Corn:

Goddamn

Big Red:

there are a lot of you

kys:

yet you added seven more

Big Red:

it was really don’s choice not mine

*explosive hockey pucks*:

i go to practice for like five minutes and my phone blows up

CASEYJONES:

My phone has also been spammed

CASEYJONES2:

I think our names might become a little confusing

CASEYJONES:

I live for the chaos, Junior

*explosive hockey pucks*:

two caseys in one universe is a little unfair

maybe i want a kid from the future to play hockey with

April’s boytoy:

i would also like a kid from the future to play hockey with!

Resident Genius:

Best I can do is your great-grandson

But he’s more into science than hockey

~Telepath~:

I don’t think you should be trusted with a kid @ *explosive hockey pucks*

*explosive hockey pucks*:

cmon red i take care of my sister all the time

~Telepath~:

Your sister takes care of you, more like

Sherlock_Corn:

Red?

We usually call Raph that

~Telepath~:

It’s his nickname for me because of my hair

He’s not very creative

*explosive hockey pucks*:

dude

Sherlock_Corn:

You have red hair?

~Telepath~:

Do you not?

Wait, oh my god!

I want to see what you all look like!

The pictures we took when we got @ Resident Genius and @ Coffee IV back home were pretty blurry

Sherlock_Corn:

I would like to see what a male Casey would look like

Turtle Titan:

Don’t worry, mini Aprils, I gotcha

Resident Genius:

Michelangelo don’t you dare use that picture

Leo doesn’t know about it

Turtle Titan:

What picture?

Resident Genius:

Mikey I can see your phone from here

Sais are BETTER:

I see it too

You’re in it too you're just as guilty mikey don’t you dare

Katanas:

Leo doesn’t know about what

Resident Genius:

Nothing boss

Turtlefly^_^:

Boss is crazy

Turtle Titan:

[photo ID:

Mikey is right in front of the camera with a massive grin. Leo is asleep on the couch behind him. Donny, Raph and Casey are next to the couch, flipping off Leo (the best they can, in Raph and Donny’s case) with equally large smiles. April is near Leo’s head, trying to look stern, but she is obviously trying to hide a smile. Splinter is seen in the kitchen, facing the other way and unaware of the photo being taken.]

Katanas:

Get back here

Resident Genius:

Oh no my connection is quite bad in these sewer tunnels

Mysteriously, messages are disappearing 

Really should get around to fixing that

Sais are BETTER:

DONT LEAVE ME WITH HIM

TRAITOR

Braincell:

He is now offline

Sais are BETTER:

Motherfucker

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Braincell:

Unfortunately, the rest of the 03 verse might be MIA for awhile

Turtlefly^_^:

Askskasklsdkll

Okay our turn I have a great picture

Coffee IV:

Should I be frightened

Neon Leon:

judging by how 03 disappeared after their picture was sent? 

probably

Othello:

I, for one, am very excited to see this

The 03 turtles are all the same species, and about the same size, which is interesting

Coffee IV:

Are you all not the same species?

Othello:

No, we’re all different kinds of turtle

03’s April and Casey are quite different

Other than the obvious age difference and gender difference of course

Coffee IV:

Once Donny returns from being hunted down, we must have another information sharing session

kys:

god you all are dorks

Coffee IV:

Mikey pick a bad picture of Raph

kys:

MIKEY DONT LISTEN TO HIM

Turtlefly^_^:

Not to worry, I have a large selection of bad pictures of Raph

I have a lot of bad pictures of everyone, actually

kys:

fuck

~Telepath~:

Even me?

Turtlefly^_^:

I have a video of you hitting yourself in the face with your tessen, dropping your tanto blade and then immediately tripping on it

And that’s just one example

~Telepath~:

…Goddamnit 

I thought no one saw that

Turtlefly^_^:

You thought wrong :D

Anyway, picture!

Captain Ryan:

I’m a little worried

Turtlefly^_^:

[photo ID:

Mikey is sitting in the 2012 lair’s tv pit with a shit-eating grin in the middle of the photo. Raph is next to him, newspaper in hand like an old man and an annoyed look on his face. Donnie is cross-legged on Mikey’s other side, confusedly looking up at the tv, away from the computer in his lap. April, who had been leaning over his shoulder to look at the screen, is also staring at the tv, confused. Casey is behind them, legs in between Donnie and Mikey, in the process of hysterically laughing. Leo is on the floor, cross-legged, in front of the tv with a horrified look on his face.]

~Telepath~:

Ajskksk

Neon Leon:

What are you all looking at??

Coffee IV:

Mikey found a really bad knock-off of Space Heroes and told Leo that it was a reboot

*explosive hockey pucks*:

it was… really bad

like embarrassingly bad

kys:

Leo’s distress was incredibly real

Coffee IV:

The plot was all over the place

~Telepath~:

The costumes were terrible

Sherlock_Corn:

Ohmigosh @ ~Telepath~ you’re so pretty???

~Telepath~:

Thank you!!!! I haven’t seen you but I’m sure you’re beautiful!!!

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Never fear, alternate April

I have a great picture

kys:

why do we keep letting mikey pick the pictures

they’re always embarrassing

M A G I C  H A N D S:

[photo ID:

Mikey is in the front-center of the picture holding a big thumbs up. Raph’s massive form is behind him, the snapper in the process of scolding a slightly sheepish looking Donnie, Casey, and Junior. The three of them hold hockey sticks, Donnie’s snapped in half. All of them are slightly bruised. April is in the background, visibly trying to hide a hockey stick behind the couch. Leo is also in the background, fleeing the scene. The projector is in pieces. A hockey puck is on top of the pieces.]

kys:

WHAT THE FUCK

WHY IS HE SO BIG????

Turtlefly^_^:

I cannot imagine you being that big dude

Neon Leon:

oh yeah, you’re pretty small in your picture, aren’t you? 

short ass

kys:

WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING YOU @ Big Red ????

Big Red:

mostly pizza

Raphael:

I wish I was that big

Bet you all forgot we were in this chat

kys:

i wish I could forget you were in this chat

Raphael:

I was talking to the readers

Othello Von Ryan:

Ignore him

Donatello:

Ignore him

Coffee IV:

Ignore him

Resident Genius:

Ignore him

Katanas:

YOU

Resident Genius:

Oh no my phone is broken again byeeee

*explosive hockey pucks*:

what the fuck

~Telepath~:

Ignoring giant raph for a sec

@ Sherlock_Corn you’re so pretty omg!!!!!

Sherlock_Corn:

Awww thank you!!!!

CASEYJONES:

What about me?

~Telepath~:

You’re

Very pretty too!!!

CASEYJONES:

Thank you

*explosive hockey pucks*:

[[Ninjaaaaa (+ Casey ig)]]

Turtlefly^_^:

[photo ID:

April is on the couch, staring at her phone. Her face is slightly red and she’s covering her mouth with her hand. On her phone is the picture of the 2018 group, zoomed in on Casey’s face]

Uh, April? You good?

kys:

damn, caught in 4K

~Telepath~:

Guys I think I’m gay for Casey’s alternate

*explosive hockey pucks*:

??????

Turtlefly^_^:

AJSMKAMSAPKOSOWKDW

Captain Ryan:

That’s insane actually

Coffee IV:

The other Dons and I have shared notes about our dimensions and uh

She was in their Foot clan

~Telepath~:

…

Turtlefly^_^:

AKSKAANSKQKANDNDC

Captain Ryan:

Oh, was she?

~Telepath~:

Yk what? 

At least she’s not my sister

Turtlefly^_^:

ALSNAKANFJKDJFJFKEKDJJCCSLAKAJKAMANSFJJCKFRRG

kys:

Well she’s got you there Fearless

Captain Ryan: 

I didn’t know she was my sister!!!

Once I found out I stopped having a crush!

*explosive hockey pucks*:

is this one of those things I wasn’t here for

Coffee IV:

Yeah, Leo had a crush on Karai a while back

*explosive hockey pucks*:

LEO

Captain Ryan:

We didn’t know we were siblings when we flirted!!!

*explosive hockey pucks*: 

LEO

Captain Ryan:

It’s over!!! The crush didn’t go anywhere, and once we found out we were related, we stopped

*explosive hockey pucks*:

that’s actually wild lmao

Turtlefly^_^:

What’s really wild is April having a crush on Casey’s genderbend kunoichi alternate

~Telepath~:

I never said I didn’t understand Leo’s crush on Karai

Captain Ryan: 

?????

Come back here and explain that

Coffee IV:

She’s gone

Turtlefly^_^:

Comes out and vanishes

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Michelangelo: 

Is it our turn now? 

[Coffee IV pinned 3 messages from M A G I C H A N D S , Turtlefly^_^ , and Turtle Titan ]

Coffee IV: 

Go ahead

Michelangelo: 

[photo ID: 

Michelangelo is in the front of the photo with his tongue slightly out, in the 87 living room. Leonardo and Raphael are sitting on the floor in front of the tv, playing a video game. Leonardo is in the process of winning. Donatello is on one end of the couch, fiddling with a random contraption. Splinter is next to him, watching Leonardo and Raphael play. April is at the entrance of the living room, carrying a pizza box. No one appears to have noticed her yet.]

[ Coffee IV pinned a message from Michelangelo ]

Coffee IV:

Okay, it looks like everyone has seen everyone now

And everything is pinned for reference

Neon Leon:

so @ Othello Von Ryan

you were with them?

Othello Von Ryan:

For the 27th time Leo, yes

Neon Leon:

i was just confirming damn

Michelangelo:

None of them have noticed that April has pizza so I’m running for it

Turtlefly^_^:

Godspeed my good turtle 

Donatello:
HEY!

Turtlefly^_^:

@ Michelangelo I think you have competition

Donatello:

If you save me two slices I will distract Leonardo and Raphael long enough for you to eat the rest of it

Michelangelo:

Deal

Neon Leon:

the betrayal is insane

—

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Raphael:

MICHELANGELO WHAT THE SHELL

YOU ATE ALL THE PIZZA

Leonardo:

And Donatello was in on it… 

Traitor

You don’t get to pick the movie tonight

Michelangelo:

I’ll cry at you

Raphael:

Your tears mean nothing to me

Turtlefly^_^:

Brutal

Chapter Text

[[The Leo chat]]

Neon Leon:

i didn’t decide the birth order????

Katanas:

It’s just a little weird to me that you’re not the oldest

Captain Ryan:

And your Raph was leader for a while? 

My Raph was leader for like one patrol and decided he hated it

Neon Leon:

raph has been ‘leader’ our whole lives

but i kinda could always tell he didnt love it love it

he thought he had to be cause he was the oldest, yk?

Leonardo:

If it helps, we don’t really have a set oldest/youngest

I’m the leader but we don’t know if I’m the oldest

Neon Leon:

dad just randomly dropped it on me after we beat the shredder

it caused… some issues with my brothers

raph and i were suddenly constantly fighting

i wanted him to be the leader, he wanted me to step up

but he was also worried id mess up

and so was i

Captain Ryan:

I dealt with that a lot at the start too

Sensei picked me to be leader once we started going above ground and Raph fought with me a lot over it

Katanas:

We really mostly fought over who was better when it came to training

I don’t think my Raph ever really wanted to be leader

Neon Leon:

i didn’t want to be leader, though

i was happy to let raph have that

then dad decided to suddenly switch it up and raph and i were fighting

donnie locked himself in his lab and mikey was super distant

april and casey were at college and we hadn’t met jr yet so it was…

hard 

sometimes it still is

Captain Ryan:

I get that

My Donnie and Mikey tend to flee the scene whenever Raph and I start fighting

Which is understandable 

April tries to mediate but she usually just gets frustrated with all the emotions everywhere and has to leave

Casey doesn’t really get why we’re fighting and doesn’t usually get involved

Katanas:

You’re new to being the leader, Leon

It won’t always be this hard

But now you have three other versions of you that you can talk to!

And we can bond over sci fi and…

The things we like

Neon Leon:

… yall like tea?

Captain Ryan:

Do we like tea?

[ Katanas changed the group name to ‘ Swords, Sci-Fi, and Tea ’]

Neon Leon:

hell yeah

@ Captain Ryan I know you’re a fan of space heroes BUT

do you have a jupiter jim in your dimension

Captain Ryan:

No?

Though I am now curious 

And I want to see this ‘Star Trek’ that @ Katanas has mentioned

Leonardo:

I’m hearing a movie night in the works~

[[PARTY DUDES]]

Turtle Titan:

Klunk is being held up by Mikey. He is in the process of a large yawn.]

M A G I C  H AN D S:

Now that’s cute

Michelangelo:

Big yawn!!!

Turtlefly^_^:

[photo ID:

Ice Cream Kitty is in her freezer, eyes closed and rubbing her head against Mikey’s hand.]

M A G I C  H A N D S:

ICE CREAM KITTY!!!!

Michelangelo:

She’s so cute!!!

M A G I C  H A N D S:

It’s moments like this that I wish we could have a cat

April has Mayhem but I want one of our own

But Raph’s worried he’ll accidentally crush it

Michelangelo:

Your brother is pretty big it’s a valid fear 

M A G I C  H A N D S:

I’m sure Don could think of something to help

Turtlefly^_^:

My Don helped figure out a safe way of transporting ICK without the freezer (super nice cooler) so I’m sure your Don could get around the size difference

Get a massive cat like a maine coon or a chausie

M A G I C  H A N D S:

I’ll bring that up in my next ‘we should get a cat’ powerpoint

Turtle Titan:

I didn’t need any help with Klunk, he just kinda followed me home

I was worried when we were sent to the future that something would happen but April had grabbed him and been taking care of him

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Oh yeah I remember someone said you had time traveled

That’s so cool

CJs the only who time traveled with us

Michelangelo:

CJ is Casey’s future son, right? 

Is Junior just a nickname, then?

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Yep

He had introduced himself as Casey Jones II but when he found out Casey Jones I was alive, he switched to CJ and we call him Junior sometimes

Michelangelo:

You all sure love your nicknames

Turtlefly^_^:

Nicknames are totally rad, dude!

Besides, I would hate being called ‘Michelangelo’ all the time

That’s way too many syllables

Turtle Titan:

^^

Michelangelo:

I do kind of like Mikey but I’m not sure if I’d want to be called it all the time

M A G I C  H A N D S:

I mean, I have a lot of nicknames

Mikey’s just the main one

There’s Mikey, Miguel, Micheal, Mikester, Orange, Angelo, Angel, Mike, Dr Feelings, Dr Delicate Touch, Dr Rude

I’ve also used Dr Positive and Dr Slightly Disappointed

Turtle Titan:

Goddamn

That’s a list

Turtlefly^_^:

Fellow doctor name!!!!

Dr Prankenstein at your service

Michelangelo:

Is this a trend

Turtle Titan:

I’ve never done a doctor nickname but I kinda like it

@ M A G I C  H A N D S why so many?

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Different personas

Dr Feelings is my therapist name and Dr Positive is when I’m being incredibly positive

Dr Slightly Disappointed was for Draxum when he didn’t want to redeem himself

Dr Delicate Touch is for when you need to hear the truth

And Dr Rude is none of your business 

Turtle Titan:

Fair enough

Michelangelo:

Oop

Turtlefly^_^:

Draxum?

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Dad #2

Turtlefly^_^:

You get 2 dads and I don’t even get 1????

What kind of bullshit

Turtle Titan:

I want you to know that all your dead dad jokes made our dad super concerned and he keeps asking us to check on you guys

Turtlefly^_^:

We’re coping best we can

Still bullshit that 18 gets two dads but ours got sniped D:<

Turtle Titan:

Sniped ajsmkakmkma

M A G I C  H A N D S:

If it helps I’m the only one who likes dad #2

Leo and Donnie keep trying to kill him

Pops always lets them

Pretty sure he gave them the knives last time

Turtle Titan:

I’m still so surprised that your Donny is so feral

Donnie*

I don’t think my Donny would hurt a fly

M A G I C  H A N D S:

I’m like 90% sure he’s killed someone

Turtlefly^_^:

Leo had to restrain Donnie to prevent him from killing someone so that doesn’t surprise me

Michelangelo:

Our Donatello doesn’t like fighting too much but he if he was mad enough I could see it happening

Especially if we had a higher rating

Turtle Titan:

Its beginning to sound like my don is the outlier

Which is crazy because I genuinely can’t imagine him even really hurting someone

He always lets the purple dragons go with a warning

Turtlefly^_^:

I’m more surprised that 18’s Leo was going to kill Draxum too

And that your Splinter was going to let them

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Draxum is the one who mutated us

He kidnapped dad after dad was kidnapped by Big Mama and used his DNA to mutate us into super weapons, and then he accidentally mutated dad into a rat while he was escaping Draxum’s lab

So dad’s a bit bitter at being kidnapped and mutated into a rat

And Draxum threw Leo off a roof one time so he’s holding a grudge

And Donnie just hates him in general because he was a bad guy

And uses mysticism and Dee’s a big magic hater for some reason

Turtlefly^_^:

He threw Leo off a roof???

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Yeah but Raph jumped after him and caught him so hes fine

Raph was pissed, both at Draxum and at Leo for yelling ‘I told you so’ as he fell to his death

Turtlefly^_^:

Classic Leo maneuver

And classic Raph maneuver with the jumping after him

Turtle Titan:

Angry Raph sounds terrifying

Your Raph is huge

Mine tends to roughhouse when he’s mad

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Raph roughhoused when we were kids but he’s so big now that he could hurt us if he tried again

He accidentally scratched Donnie’s shell when we were younger and doesn’t even like sparring with any of us

Somehow Casey is the only exception, he has decided that she can handle him being aggressive

That woman is scarily buff for how small she is

She flipped him once and the shock on his face was amazing

Donnie got pictures

Turtle Titan:

Casey always wrestles with Raph in my dimension

He will come over and just fully tackle Raph to the ground

Turtlefly^_^:

Same here

They’re always like, play-fighting

Michelangelo:

Sounds like we’re the outlier in this one

We don’t really know Casey very well

We gave him a turtle comm but he doesn’t use it

I do want to see the Casey-flipping-Raph picture though

M A G I C  H A N D S:

[photo ID:

18 Casey has her arms around Raph. She doesn’t reach all the way, but she has a good grip around his shell. Casey is slightly bent over, flipping Raph onto his head. Shock and slight fear are clear on his face. Casey has a manic grin.]

Turtlefly^_^:

AKSMMKAMAKDJKKDM

Saved 

That’s beautiful

Turtle Titan:

How is she capable of that

That’s terrifying 

That’s like Angel flipping the Shredder

Michelangelo:

Angel?

Turtle Titan:

She’s a kid Casey looks after sometimes

Turtlefly^_^:

I think Angel’s the name of Casey’s sister but idk for sure

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Idk any Angels but Casey might?

Turtle Titan:

My point still stands

How is she doing that

M A G I C  H A N D S:

The current theory is she was slightly mutated at some point

Or she has some mystic power

Or that she’s just like that

Turtlefly^_^:

Maybe shes like April and was experimented on/her parent was experimented on and just doesn’t know

M A G I C  H A N D S:

BOY WHAT

Turtle Titan:

WHAT

Michelangelo:

Come back here and explain that

Turtle Titan:

… he’s gone

M A G I C  H A N D S:

Now I’m all for dramatic reveals but what the fuck

—

[[Sorry we accidentally stole Donatello]]

Big Red:

can someone please explain why Mikey is screaming at April

he keeps asking her if she’s a mutant

Turtlefly^_^:

My b

Big Red:

???

Turtlefly^_^:

I thought we had told you that our April was a mutant

Big Red:

?????????

~Telepath~:

Thanks for spilling my secrets Michelangelo

Turtlefly^_^:

Oopsie?

I figured it was like… an open secret

~Telepath~:

It was not

Big Red:

you’re a mutant?????

—

[[Y E L L O W]]

Braincell:

We really need to come up with a better name than that because yellow is not my main color even if I like it

But also 

@ ~Telepath~ you’re a mutant????

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I was surprised that you were a ninja and a teenager, but you’re also a mutant?

What are you, a Teenage Mutant Ninja April?

Sherlock_Corn:

Hey, we’re 19! We’re adults too!

In her defense we were surprised that you two were like 30 and didn’t join the fights all the time

But also

A mutant????

Braincell:

27 and 28 are NOT 30

I have three years left

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I’m only two years away from the big three-zero

Yikes

But you’re like permanently a mutant

~Telepath~:

Permanently? 

I’ve always been a mutant, I just didn’t know because my body is human

I found out a couple months after I met the turtles

My mom was genetically engineered, I guess? 

She had been experimented on by the kraang

And when she gave birth, I was technically a mutant through her 

So I’m technically half/part kraang

Sherlock_Corn:

KRAANG????

~Telepath~:

I have some Kraang abilities, which I didn’t fully understand until I learned I was a mutant

I have some six-sense sort of abilities, which I thought was just good instinct for a while

I’m immune to mutagen

I have some telekinesis and telepathy, but the Professor said it would probably get stronger as I get older

We’re also not sure how long my lifespan is? 

Assuming I don’t die some other way, I could probably live a lot longer than a normal human

I was also able to learn ninjutsu pretty quickly thanks to my ‘different brain chemistry’, or at least that’s how Donnie explained how I graduated to full kunoichi so quickly

Even though it felt like forever

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Oh wow

Sherlock_Corn:

You’re like a superhero!!

~Telepath~:

Says the girl that literally lives in the magic dimension

Sherlock_Corn:

We do have witches

Braincell:

Excuse me

How did you discover you were immune to mutagen

~Telepath~:

Fell into a vat of mutagen 

And was fine

Sherlock_Corn:

That’s so badass

~Telepath~:

Thank you

It would’ve been cooler if I hadn’t been freaking out about turning into a turtle

Braincell:

How did you know you’d be a turtle?

~Telepath~:

Idk how the mutagen in your dimensions work but for us it’s based off of the last animal/thing you touched

And I had touched Donnie’s hand last so it would’ve been pretty likely for me to be mutated into a turtle

Braincell:

Ours mostly just makes animals more human like, so that’s interesting

Sherlock_Corn:

Ours works the same as 12

I love the boys but I would not want to be a mutant turtle

I’d lose my hair

~Telepath~:

Valid concern

I wouldn’t be able to wear my headband anymore

Channel 6 News Reporter:

I got mutated into a cat once

And a fish and a wasp

Braincell:

I have never been mutated before and I’d like to keep it that way

Channel 6 News Reporter:

It wasn’t fun the first time and it only got worse

~Telepath~:

I’m very glad to be immune

Sherlock_Corn:

Yk your username makes sense now

I had figured you just liked telepath characters

~Telepath~:

I mean I find them relatable now

There’s an entire species in Space Heroes that are telepathic so Leo likes to compare them to me

Braincell:

Sounds like the vulcans in Star Trek

Or the betazoids

~Telepath~:

I think our Leo would love Star Trek

He’s such a sci-fi nerd

To be fair, we all are

All six of us have seen the entirety of Space Heroes 

Even Raph, though he claims its stupid

Sherlock_Corn:

Same over here with Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu movies

We’ve seen all of them so many times but they’re unironically so good

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Sci-Fi is very cool

I usually am stuck watching romcoms with Irma

~Telepath~:

You have an Irma????

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Yep! She’s my best friend!

Braincell:

Irma?

~Telepath~:

I thought she was my friend

But she turned out to be Kraang Subprime in disguise, who was trying to use my friendship to find the lair

Channel 6 News Reporter:

Oh my god

My Irma is nothing like that

She’s actually human, I swear

Sherlock_Corn:

That’s so terrifying actually

~Telepath~:

We had been friends for a year

She’d been to my house and met my dad

I… had hoped that she wasn’t fake the whole time, but then we learned that the Utrom had designed that robot body a long time ago

I hadn’t… I had been so happy to actually have a friend, you know? I ignored the signs that she wasn’t real

Sherlock_Corn:

I get it

I was really only friends with the guys

I made a friend later, Sunita, but I found out she wasn’t human

Not evil, thankfully, but I had really wanted a normal friend

~Telepath~:

Exactly 

I wanted a normal friend, and Irma turned out to be a kraang

Sherlock_Corn:

Sunita turned out to be a yokai, wearing a cloaking brooch to look human

She’s great, but I was a little disappointed I couldn’t make a normal friend

Even Casey’s weird - she’s a fully trained kunoichi and has been in the Foot clan since she was like seven

~Telepath~:

My Casey’s no ninja, but he’s weird 

He’s a vigilante, going around in rocket-powered skates and explosive spray paint to take down Purple Dragons and the Foot while they were still under Shredder

Channel 6 News Reporter:

As far as I know, our Casey is a vigilante too

I don’t know about rocket-powered skates and explosive spray paint but he fights with a hockey stick/baseball bat/golf clubs

Braincell:

My husband is weird too

~Telepath~:

Remembering Casey is your husband is a jumpscare every time

Braincell:

It’s weird for me knowing he’s not your husband

Sherlock_Corn:

It seems like we’re cursed as Aprils to have weird friends

Braincell:

I don’t think its a curse

We wouldn’t fit in with normal people, anyway

Besides, I don’t really think any of us can be considered ‘normal’

18 is part of a ancient mystic clan, 12 is literally a telepathic mutant

87 is a news reporter who is always getting kidnapped

I was almost murdered because I found out my boss was trying to steal a bunch of money for the Shredder

I don’t think we’re ‘normal’ at all

And that’s not a bad thing 

~Telepath~:

Sometimes I wish I had been mutated when I fell into the vat of mutagen 

Then I’d be weird, but I had been normal yk?

Sherlock_Corn:

I get that

I could’ve been normal if I hadn’t met the boys but I’m glad I met them

~Telepath~:

I’m also very glad I met them, even if it means we’re not normal

Braincell:

Normal’s overrated, anyway
