ROTTMNT turtles find out they once belonged to you

                                    

                                          
All:
-Completely flabbergasted.
-Not expecting this at all.
-Confused.
-Upset.
-All the emotions.
-You had told them about the four turtles you lost 13 years ago.
-That's why they all bonded with you, you all thought it was funny they were all the same species.
-They saw you as another parental figure at this point. Or at least as an older sibling.
-They also all felt very weird about this.
-You technically owned them.
-That didn't really sit right with any of them.
-Very much unhappy and confused turtles.

Mikey:
-Very much upset
-He really liked you, and he knew how sad you were when your turtles were stolen because you confided in him about it.
-Knowing he was one of those turtles made him feel icky.
-Wished Draxum never told him this.
-In the back of his mind, he knows it's not that deep
-That everything's still the same.
-But he can't help but feel sad about it.
-Ends up buying you a new turtle to 'replace' him and his brothers.(After asking if he could of course. He doesn't want to just bombard you with a new pet you don't want or can't take care of.)
-Probably is the one to tell you the news as well, probably when giving you the turtle.
-Feels weirded out by the situation, but is glad you're understanding.
-Drifts away from you a bit, not really knowing how to go about being near you for a while.

Donnie:
-Despite the initial panic and unease he feels, Donnie's mostly chill about it.
-He knew he came from somewhere before all this, but he just wasn't expecting to know he was stolen from you.
-Never really brings it up to you.
-In his mind, it doesn't matter anymore. He's no longer a pet, and he is his own person.
-Everyone comes from somewhere, he just happens to come from the pet shop down the road you visit frequently.
-Oh well, at least he now knows.
-Tries to ignore it to the best of his ability, not wanting to acknowledge it much more than he has.
-He ends up being a bit more distant for a while, mainly accidentally.
He just doesn't know how to talk to you for a while knowing what he does.
-Gets back to normal a bit more once he learns Mikey spilled the beans.
-He just ignores that it happened and brushes it out of his mind to the best of his ability.
-He has more important things to worry about, where he came from doesn't matter.

Raph:
-He thinks it's weird, but is more on the chill side.
-He has no idea how to feel about it, so he just.... Doesn't.
-He, like Donnie, ignores it.
-Doesn't bring it up, refuses to comment on it when asked, and changes the subject when prompted.
-He doesn't distance himself from you at all unlike Donnie and Mikey.
-He still enjoys hanging with you, and wouldn't lose that for anything.
-Especially not over something so stupid.
-Probably forgets after a couple weeks honestly.
-It just doesn't matter to him at all.
-He's still the same Raph and he knew he was once a normal turtle, so why would it matter where he came from?
-Is admittedly a bit disappointed he wasn't some cool wild turtle before, but he gets over it quickly.
-This is how he ended up, and this is how he'll stay.

Leo:
-Straight up doesn't believe Draxum.
-One, why would he remember who they were stolen from?
-Two, why would Draxum steal from a person instead of a breeder, or a pet shop?
-It just didn't make sense to Leo.
-Either way, he didn't care too much.
-Even if they did belong to you at some point, and that was a big if in his mind, he thought it was hilarious.
-If he gets to you before Mikey, he's telling you through laughs and jokes.
-Can not and will not take it seriously.
-Finds it even more hilarious if it's somehow proven to be true.
-Constantly brings it up when you're near.
-Jokingly asks you to re-adopt them if he and his brothers ever get turned back into normal turtles.
-All in all, after the initial shock wore off, he genuinely doesn't care and sees it more as a joke than anything.

Requested: Yes - Idk if I already asked you this but could you do headcannons for how Mikey,Leo,Raph,and Donnie would react to begin told by draxum that they belonged to y/n before he stole and mutated them
(you could do separate or together Idc)
A/N, not important: Sorry it took so long, I've been busy and I'm currently quite sick. Also, just didn't really know how to go about this. Reader is at least 5 years older than the TMNT, or else it wouldn't make sense. So no romance in this one(don't know how I'd stick it in anyway.) I also kinda just, didn't know how to do this one? It was a special ask, I'll give you that anon. Sorry it's such sucky, I struggled. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.
