TMNT X Reader Oneshots Part 2

future! rise Leo x red eared slider mutant reader

In the war-torn remains of New York City, where the once vibrant metropolis now lay in ruins, a few resilient survivors fought against the ever-encroaching threat of the Krang. The mutated turtles, led by their seasoned leader Leonardo, had become symbols of resistance and hope in these dark times. Among the rubble and despair, a new chapter in this saga was about to unfold, one that intertwined the fates of two kindred spirits.

Leo sprinted through the remnants of a crumbling building, the echo of distant explosions and the ominous hum of Krang technology filling the air. His senses were on high alert, every nerve primed for danger. As the leader of the resistance, he had a duty to protect the remaining free people of the city. His brothers, each with their own scars from this brutal war, relied on his guidance.

Today, something felt different. Amid the chaos, a faint noise caught Leo's attention. It was subtle, almost imperceptible, but enough to make him stop in his tracks. Carefully, he scanned his surroundings, his keen eyes falling on a partially concealed doorway. Approaching it cautiously, he pushed the door open, revealing a shadowy room.

A figure was huddled in the corner, partially hidden by debris. It was another mutant turtle, a red-eared slider like him. Her eyes widened in fear and surprise as she realized she had been discovered.

"Hey, it's okay," Leo said gently, holding up his hands to show he meant no harm. "I'm not going to hurt you."

The fear in her eyes didn't completely fade, but she relaxed slightly, her grip on a makeshift weapon loosening.

"Who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling but defiant.

"My name is Leonardo," he replied, stepping closer. "But you can call me Leo. What's your name?"

She hesitated, unsure if she should trust him, but something in his gaze, a mix of determination and kindness, convinced her to speak.

"I'm Y/N," she said softly. "I've been hiding here for weeks. The Krang... they destroyed everything. I lost my family."

Leo's heart ached at her words. He understood her pain all too well. The Krang had taken so much from everyone.

"Y/N, we have a safe place, a base where we're gathering survivors to fight back," Leo said, his voice steady and reassuring. "You don't have to be alone anymore. Come with me. We can help each other."

Y/N looked at him, searching his eyes for any sign of deceit. Finding none, she nodded. "Okay, I'll come with you."

With a relieved smile, Leo helped her to her feet. They navigated through the rubble-strewn streets, Leo keeping a vigilant eye out for any Krang patrols. As they made their way to the resistance base, Leo found himself glancing at Y/N more than once. There was something about her, a strength beneath the surface, that intrigued him.

When they finally arrived at the hidden entrance to the resistance base, Y/N looked around in awe. The underground facility was bustling with activity, a stark contrast to the desolate city above. Mutants of various kinds were working together, planning their next moves against the Krang.

"Welcome to the resistance," Leo said with a grin, leading her inside.

As the days turned into weeks, Y/N integrated into the resistance with remarkable ease. Her natural agility and keen instincts made her an invaluable asset on reconnaissance missions. Leo found himself partnering with her more often, drawn to her resilience and determination. They quickly became a formidable team, their bond deepening with each shared mission.

One evening, after a particularly grueling day, Leo and Y/N found themselves alone on a rooftop, overlooking the city. The sun was setting, casting a fiery glow over the ruins.
