Deception Part 1

Deception Part 1


Being pulled one hundred years into the future had some advantages for the turtles. They could go out during the day and enjoy the sunshine without fear of being seen and captured. There were so many different sentient species that lived on the Earth now that they no longer stood out from the crowd.

Danger was still present however. Darius Dunn was still on the loose creating havoc as well as the Dark Turtles that he had cloned from them. The Dark Turtles had caused them nothing but trouble from the moment they had their first encounter with them. This made it extremely difficult for them to be sharing a home with Dark Leo right now.

When Dark Leo had gotten hurt protecting Cody, the turtles had brought him into the penthouse in order to save his life. They had been raised to respect life. Besides, he had saved Cody and they couldn't ignore that so easily.

Time had passed and there was now no reason to restrict Dark Leo to a bed for any medical purpose. Since Dark Leo had conducted himself in a nonthreatening manner in the time that he had been in the penthouse it was decided that he would be allowed the freedom to roam around inside until he was well enough to leave.

With his newfound freedom Dark Leo had taken to following Mikey around the penthouse. The hyperactive young turtle was always bouncing around the house which consistently gave Dark Leo something for him to watch the young turtle doing.

The exploration of new things wasn't the only reason that Dark Leo was choosing to follow Mikey in particular. There was also the fact that like his original counterpart, he too had a crush on the sea green turtle. That crush had only intensified during the time that he had been in the penthouse and Dark Leo was going to use his freedom of movement to pursue the object of his affections.

So far Dark Leo had been attempting to be subtle while stalking his prey. He didn’t want the smaller turtle to become aware of him too soon and be scared off. This led Dark Leo to sneaking around as he followed Mikey wherever he went. It didn’t matter if it was morning practice to see the sweat drip down Mikey’s body or to the bathroom to try and catch a glimpse of Mikey’s turtlehood when he went to relieve himself.

When none of these advances were shaken off, Dark Leo grew bolder. It was a couple of days later when he saw Mikey sitting on the floor playing an old school video game that Cody had managed to find for him. Dark Leo made his first move by sitting down on the floor near Mikey but not quite near enough to touch him or distract him from his game. Not yet anyway.

As Mikey leveled up Dark Leo scooted a little closer to the sea green turtle. Each time Mikey moved on to a new level, Dark Leo moved closer until their thighs were barely an inch apart. Just as Mikey was about to start the next level, Dark Leo wrapped an arm around Mikey’s shoulders and pulled him right up against his side.

“You’re very good at this game,” Dark Leo purred in Mikey’s ear.

“AHHHHH!” Mikey yelled as he jumped nearly a foot in the air in surprise. He tried to wiggle out of Dark Leo’s hold on him but the grip was just too strong.

“You can handle my joystick any time you want,” Dark Leo offered.

He leaned forward bringing his face right up to Mikey’s face. The smaller turtle’s eyes widened as the blue mutant got closer and closer even as he tried to lean farther back. Just as Dark Leo’s lips were about to press against Mikey’s he suddenly pulled away dropping Mikey back onto the floor. As Mikey sat back up he saw Leo walk into the room just as Dark Leo made a hasty exit.

Leo shot a glare after his cloned counterpart even though he knew it wouldn’t be seen. He wasn’t sure what was going on with his clone but it better be known that Mikey belonged to him and no one else. If Dark Leo didn’t understand that then drastic measures might need to be taken.

Dark Leo stomped down the hallway away from the two turtles. He wasn’t happy that his original had interrupted his alone time with the turtle of his desires. He was bigger than his original, he was stronger, and he deserved whatever he wanted and right now he wanted Mikey. Dark Leo was going to need to do something soon if he wanted to make sure that he was the only one that got Mikey.

The day had finished with no more incidents between Mikey and Dark Leo. This was mostly due to Mikey sticking to Leo like glue. Whenever he was with his older brother it seemed like the blue clone left him alone for the most part. Now that it was bedtime however, he was by himself in his room as he tried to go to sleep.

Dark Leo hadn’t only gained a crush on Mikey from his original but also the skill of strategizing and turning any situation to his advantage. Night meant that Mikey would be alone in his room which meant that he wasn’t protected by the original Leonardo. Night also meant that Don was in Raph’s room with no intention of leaving until the sun showed its face again which meant that the lab was empty.

Flipping on the lights, Dark Leo started rummaging through the drawers where he remembered Don keeping his sedatives. When he had first been brought into the penthouse Dark Leo remembered Don giving him multiple sedatives not only to hold the pain at bay but to make sure that he couldn’t attack anyone. Now Dark Leo wanted to use those same sedatives to assist him in his pursuit of Mikey.

Once he found the sedative, Dark Leo moved quickly but quietly through the hallways to Mikey’s room. He was tired of being foiled by Leo every time he tried to get close to the sea green turtle. It had finally dawned on him that if he wanted Mikey all to himself then he needed to leave the penthouse and take Mikey with him. As he walked to Mikey’s room he flipped open a stolen shell cell and called his own brothers to come and help with his escape.

The door to Mikey’s room creaked open and Dark Leo slipped inside without being noticed. As lightly as someone of Dark Leo’s size could manage, he stalked over to the bed where Mikey’s was off in dreamland. It wasn’t until Dark Leo was right beside Mikey and about to stroke his face that Mikey woke up.

Mikey’s eyes flew open to see Dark Leo standing above him. When Mikey opened his mouth to scream for help Dark Leo moved his hand from trying to caress Mikey’s face to covering his mouth and muffling the sounds. Mikey fought as hard as he could to escape from Dark Leo’s hold but Dark Leo was already uncapping the sedative and plunging the needle into Mikey’s neck and sending him into unconsciousness.

Dark Leo moved fast as soon as Mikey’s body went limp and threw the orange banded turtle over his shoulder. Once the smaller turtle was secure, Dark Leo quickly left the room and headed straight for the rooftop. Now that he had made the decision to leave and take Mikey with him, he knew that he would be in big trouble if he was caught at this point.

Back in his own room Leo jerked awake with a sense that something just wasn’t right. Following his instincts Leo made his way directly to Mikey’s room to make sure that he was okay. Throwing open the door and turning the light on only revealed an empty bed. Leo took in the disheveled bed sheets and the discarded needle on the floor in a single glance and knew that something bad had happened to his most precious brother.

In the quiet of the night the rumbling on the roof instantly drew Leo’s attention. A dark look of anger clouded Leo’s face as he turned and sped out of the room on his way to the roof. Leo was in such a hurry that he barely took the time to detour past Raph’s room and bang on the door to get his other two brothers out of bed. There was only one explanation that came to mind that made sense of everything he had seen tonight and everything that he had been feeling ever since Dark Leo came into the penthouse.

Leo burst onto the roof with Raph and Don on his heels just in time to see Dark Leo throw Mikey into a hovering helicopter and jump in behind him with a smirk of satisfaction on his face. A yell of fury issued from Leo’s mouth as he ran across the roof to rescue his mate from his clone’s clutches. Dark Raph at the controls of the helicopter was just too fast though and they sped away into the night.

Leo was left standing on an empty rooftop with Raph and Don as his love was stolen by his clone. His hands itched to take his katanas into his grasp and take off after Mikey in that very moment. No one got away with stealing Mikey from him. This wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
