OC Forms/Art Book

Prompt- 💧Dying...?💧

Couldn't find any other emojis so here you go.

This was for my friend Ash, featuring her OC Fivick.
The plot is Lucia comes home with a stroke. The stroke is slowly plugging the oxygen to her brain so she's practically slowly dying.
She's in her shapeshifter form, not the original

Let's begin.

Lucia had been out on patrol for a while now, and it had been starting to get to the turtle brothers. Had something happened to her again?
They were incredibly relieved to see the shifter walk in, now in her Feral form.

"Hey, Lucia!" Leo greeted. The white dog looked over with odd colored eyes and smiled a saber-toothed smile. "Hey, blue." She yawned after saying that and walked over to the couch, jumping onto it and snuggling her face into a pillow.

"Find anything?" questioned the blue clad.

"No."

"Too bad. Any trace of Raud or Bates?"

"No."

"Okay."

There was a pause of silence before Leo went to say something. He stopped upon noticing she was already asleep. The blue clad decided to let her be, getting up silently to walk off.

Over the next week, Lucia's behavior had started taking a drastic turn. The canine shapeshifter would become more sluggish, unwilling to move. Leo and Raph could understand she wouldn't want to wake up early, but Mikey had told them something was wrong when he saw Lucia stay in the same spot, fully awake, for 6 hours.

Then it became 8 hours. She wouldn't move from the couch in long periods of time. Fivick had come out to see her, only to find the white dog laying lazily on the couch.

"Luzya's broken, where's ta toolbox?" she said. Mikey snorted at that.

However as the hours progressed it became less of a joke, and more serious. April had seen this for herself, Lucia not speaking for a while, not even moving or flicking her ear. It was like her brain stopped processing things.

"Raph, maybe we can get Donnie to take a look at her?"

"Leo, he's been working in his lab nonstop for the entire week, and only Lucia could go in and distract him for at least a day. She can't move, and he won't listen to us."

"I heard my name, what is it?"

Lucia could only hear the blurred voices of Raph, Leo, and Donnie. Her vision turned blurry when she sluggishly attempted to open her eyes.

"Donnie, Lucia hasn't moved from the same spot for hours, do you think you could find out what's wrong with her?"

"I suppose so."

Lucia heard muffled footfalls approaching before seeing very, very blurry green and purple. She felt a three-fingered hand run through her mane, finding her pulse. After a few minutes- which she didn't remember- Donnie spoke up.

"She's had a stroke, it's blocking the oxygen to her brain."

"Wait, what does that mean?" Leo sounded confused and worried.

"It means she's slowly dying. Her body's shutting down, that's why she won't move."

"Can you fix her?"

"I can try..."

As Donnie picked Lucia up, who was surprisingly light, and walked into the lab, Leo looked at Raph. They had the same expressions; worry.

"If she dies, how do we tell Fivick?" Leo asked.

Raph sighed. "I...I don't know," he responded. "I guess we'll just have to wait and see."

Well, to make a long story short, Lucia's heart had stopped beating.

And everyone was devastated. Donnie was so mad at himself for letting her slip away like that. Mikey would be alone in his room for hours, while Raph was just...shocked. Leo threw something at the wall when he first heard of Lucia dying, so that would pretty much explain his emotions about the whole thing. April was stunned. She knew something was wrong but didn't expect it to be that bad.

The only one who thought she was still alive was Fivick. The bull who had come to think of Lucia as a mother. Fivick would ask Donnie if she could see the white dog, but the purple clad only denied her and slammed the lab door shut.

Lucia was taken away unbeknownst to the bull about a day later.

When she DID find out, however, Fivick broke down completely. She stopped eating. She stopped playing. She even started to cease her speech. She didn't get sick, like Lucia had in that other prompt, but was unresponsive.

Till one day, at least.

It was a...somewhat normal day in the lair. Mikey was in the kitchen not really doing anything. Donnie was in his lab grieving. Leo was in his room, also grieving. Raph was in the living room with a silent Fivick, and April was at her apartment.

The red clad looked up from his comic book to cast a glance to the Scottish bull, who was staring at the the ground silently. He sighed heavily and continued reading.

About half an hour later light footsteps were heard at the entrance to the lair. Raph, thinking it was April, looked up.

He didn't expect to see Lucia in her human form leaning heavily against the archway. She looked like she'd gone through hell and back to get there, her boots torn, her shirt sleeve nonexistent, and her hair messier than usual. Dirt and dust was smudged across her cheek, and she was holding a wound in her right shoulder, eyes a soft magenta rather than red. "H...hey Raph..." she puffed.

He nearly threw his comic book down on the ground when she spoke, confirming it was indeed Lucia. He wanted to hug her tight but figured it was probably not a good idea. "Lu- Lucia?" he squeaked. Fivick didn't reply, thinking it was a hoax.

However, Donnie slammed the doors to the lab open at hyperspeed upon hearing her name. "LEO IF YOU MIMICKED LUCIA TO PRANK US I SWEAR-" he froze when he saw Lucia. She held up her hand and waved. "Hey, Don."

He looked absolutely shocked. Then he ran over and hugged her. "OhmyGod Lucia I thought- you were dead- Wait you were dead, right?"

"Uh- apparently not," she replied. "By the way, I'm fine, thanks for asking." Donnie laughed and snuggled her, almost crying out of joy.

Mikey walked out. "What- ...OH MY G O D LUCIA-" he ran over and hugged her as Leo kicked the door to his room open.
"W H A T," he started, then froze dead stiff upon seeing Donnie and Lucia hugging with Mikey hugging her from her uninjured side.
"....oh my God-"

Needless to say, everyone was overjoyed she was back, especially Fivick when the blonde snapped her out of her trance, and soon everything was back to normal again.

(I procrastinated so hard on this I'm so sorry Ash-)
