He just wouldn't leave me alone; spoilers in comments

[losingdeadweight]

Just couldn't hold back, could ya, mun?

[Chuckles.]

Don't know about you, but I'm ready to take down some criminal scum.

And I can name three off the top of my head...

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Criminal scum?

[Where, where?! Saft'll sort them out don't you worry!]

[losingdeadweight]

[Humans what the hell.

Slash looks down at her as if he's looking at a kid.]

They're everywhere. Gotta play it safe, kid.

Cause they just don't quit until you take them down.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Kid?

[Why does everyone keep calling her that lately?]

Don't worry about me, I can handle myself. I'm pretty tough!

[losingdeadweight]

Funny. But the kind of crooks I'm after?

They don't play nice.

[They stole his Raphie.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I think I'll be okay.

Besides, When they see what I'm capable of? I doubt they'll wanna mess with the likes of me.

[losingdeadweight]

Oh yeah? Show me what you got.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Now?

[purpleninja]

Watch who you're calling 'criminal.'

[losingdeadweight]

[Instant loom.]

Watch who you're talking to.

[purpleninja]

It's not going to be so easy when you can't sneak up and grab a guy from behind. What's your problem with us, anyway? We were always nice to you!

[losingdeadweight]

But not to Raph. He told me about EVERYTHING you did--how you kept wrecking things with your science and that crush...

[He rolled his shoulders.]

Fine, I'm good with face-to-face.

[purpleninja]

Did you just close your eyes and hum during all the times Raph made fun of me? Or hit Mikey? Or called Leo names? Brothers may not always be nice to each other all the time, but they always have each others' backs.

I don't want to fight you, I have no reason to. Our fighting hurts Raph more than each other.

[losingdeadweight]

Self-defense.

Besides, if he really liked you, he wouldn't need to go to me. We're connected.

[the_dancing_dork]

The only criminal around here is you Spike.

[And boy is Leo still not happy with what Slash did to his brothers. Not happy at all.]

[losingdeadweight]

[That's nice, Leo.

Slash is still alive and huge.]

The only crook I see is you. You're the one holding Raph back!

He could be so much more and you know that.

[the_dancing_dork]

I'm not doing anything to keep Raph back, no matter what he's said to you before. The only thing that I would ever hold him back from is becoming a violent, psychotic nut like you.

[losingdeadweight]

[Dark chuckle.]

So you admit it.

Me and Raph, we're the same.

[the_dancing_dork]

What? No! Raph is absolutely nothing like you and he never will be!

[losingdeadweight]

[In an imitation of Leo's voice:]

Raph is nothing like you, all I know is honor--do you ever listen to yourself?

You don't know anything about Raph.

[crackedplastron]

Oh, would you-- just give it up already!

[losingdeadweight]

[Look he's already giving the sad face already.]

But you belong with me, Raph.

[crackedplastron]

No! No, I don't! I belong with my brothers.

[losingdeadweight]

Can they understand you, Raph? Can they listen to your deepest secrets?

They're not connected, not like we are.

[crackedplastron]

Connected? By what?

[losingdeadweight]

Our rage, our thirst for justice. But more importantly our bond, something that nothing can break.
