Oh What An Adequate Morning (Open)

[Prince Rupert/Magic Mirror]

(ooc: March 5th. Morning. Couldn't resist using that title from the song critic sang in the brawl. xd)

Grimhilde was walking around the house carrying a hand mirror and Gene's lamp. The Magic Mirror appeared as she grinned. She set the mirror down as she rubbed the lamp as Gene appeared.

"Gene for my second wish I wish for you to free the person in this mirror but still have him keep his powers and loyalty to me." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Gene nodded waving his hand as the hand mirror glowed as a beam of light flew out and formed into a redheaded man in royal clothes.

"Your second wish is completed." said Gene.

He had to admit for a villainess her wishes weren't that evil. Perhaps her time in this army had softened her after all. Although he wouldn't say that out loud.

XXXX

Rupert was amazed at the return of his old body. He turned to the queen and bowed before her.

"I am still in your service my queen. I know I wronged you by still courting you when I fell in love with someone else. But now you've found happiness. I can not blame you for what you did to me. I would like us to become friends." said Rupert.

He was kind soul and couldn't hold a grudge for very long. He did still care about Grimhilde but not in the way he used to.

Nella walked out seeing the group. She smiled seeing Rupert there. She hadn't seen him before. She walked over to them and introduced herself.

"Hello. I'm Nella. Welcome to the army." said Nella.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts walked out seeing the group chatting and seeing Rupert. She hadn't seen him before and she was sure she'd met most of the group here if not all of them.

"Hello. I'm Mrs. Potts. Would you care for a cup of tea or something to eat? I was on my way to make breakfast anyway." said Mrs. Potts.

Raphael would've been lying if he said he wasn't nervous about being around Grimhilde or anyone here. Sure the majority of them liked him or forgave him for his actions, but he knew that his rap here was pretty damn bad in the past. So naturally he felt the need to make amends with the people, his brother and father spoke of him before but he needed to make his own good impression. The turtle was quick to come over to the group and wave a hi. He wasn't shy about it but it definitely showed a apprehensive side to him. "Hey there new guy. Name's Raph. Raphael. Whatever you wanna call me go ahead. It's nice to meet you"

The leader of the army had been unactive with the new people lately and he felt it was high time he got active about this thing for a change. Sure he had a lot of problems with his army but he needed to gain his own worth as well as the complete trust in others. He felt unprepared as a leader and needed to continue by being respectful. He walked kindly and saw a group of people with a new person near Grimhilde. He was a ginger-haired man who seemed to be rather kind with her and he assumed the two knew each other or whatnot so he just went over. He hoped he would appear confident or likeable. Critic went with a smile and responded "Hello queen grimhilde, it's nice to see your new friend" He then looked around and responded "Wait a second? What happened to your magic mirror?" He then looked to the man and responded "Oh hi I'm the nostalgia critic, I remember it so you don't have to yaddayadda. Sorry, I'm normally well-spoken" Well so much for being confident or likeable let alone leader-like.

[Nella]

Grimhilde turned looking up as Nella, Mrs. Potts, Raphael, and Critic arrived.

"Hello everyone. Oh this isn't a new member. It's my Magic Mirror. He was once human. Back when I was a villain I trapped him in my mirror with a potion. And well I couldn't remember how to free him so I used my second wish so Gene could free him. This is Prince Rupert." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Rupert smiled at the arrivals. Grimhilde spoke first and he smiled agreeing with her. Being British he spoke in a British accent.

"What the queen speaks is true. At least I've not stuck under that rhyming curse anymore. It's an honor to talk with all of you while not trapped in a mirror." said Rupert.

He paused turning to Gene.

"Thank you for helping free me. I know it was Grimhilde's wish but you helped free me. I owe you one." said Rupert.

He then smiled at Nella and Mrs. Potts.

"It's an honor to be in the company of three beautiful ladies. If there's anything I can do for you just ask." said Rupert.

He turned to look at Raphael and Critic and smiled.

"Hello Raphael. I'm pleasing to meet you. I'm glad to see you're on the right side now. We shall get your other brother back. It may take time but your family will be together once again." said Rupert.

He then turned to Critic with a smile.

"I still have my powers to show images in mirrors and I was quite the swordsman before I was sealed away. I probably am a bit rusty though but I can pick it up again with training. It's an honor to speak with you Critic face to face like this. You've led this army quite well." said Rupert.

XXXX

Gene smiled glad he'd done something good freeing Prince Rupert from his imprisonment in the mirror. He heard Rupert's thanks and his grin went deeper.

"Your welcome your highness. I was glad to help you." said Gene.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts and Nella blushed and giggled as Rupert spoke saying he was glad to be in the company of three ladies. Hearing his offer if he could do anything to help just ask.

"Thank you for the offer. I'm one of the army's medics and cooks so I don't think I'd be needing much help. But if I ever do I know who to ask.' said Mrs. Potts.

Nella nodded as well. She smiled at him.

"Well I need some help training but I've already got a training partner. If I think of anything though I'll ask." said Nella.

[Nostalgia Critic]

Critic was shocked to find out the new member was actually the magic mirror. He shook his head and said "Wow. Quite a change then. Well, still welcome aboard Rupert. I'm glad you're here" He then listened to rupert speak positivity about now training as well as continuing to have his powers with imagery and the leader couldn't help but smile at how humble and kind Rupert was. Critic nodded humbly himself "A pleasure to meet you face to face too" He turned to Grimhilde with a grin before looking to rupert again "You'll be a great asset now that you can move around and use swords again. This is really interesting" He then turned to Gene and Grimhilde again before looking to Rupert "Well rupert. You feel free to go move about the house as you please" He didn't know what else to add, but perhaps if rupert wanted critic could hang out with the new member or join him to looking about the house.
XXXXXXX

Raphael nodded softly and humbly as Rupert was kind and assuring to him that his family would be whole again. He had some frustration of how long it took but rupert was right, Raph was on the right side now and all that mattered was that he was with most of his family. Only leo was remaining. He sighed, rubbing his face "Thanks rupert. I appreciate it. My older brother's still with Facilier and his goons. He's trapped just like I was, maybe even worse" He turned to the other girls again and turned to Nella "Say my brother donny talks about you. You're nella right?"

[Queen Grimhilde]

Rupert smiled at him.

"Well technically I've been here since the queen arrived. Watching and waiting to be needed. I admit I wish she'd called for me more. It got rather lonely trapped in that mirror. At least back home she called me once a day." said Rupert.

He looked over at Grimhilde who looked guilty.

"Do not feel bad your majesty. You had no need to call me. I believe you have changed. You stopped obsessing about your looks and found love. I think even Snow White herself couldn't stay mad at you if she heard all the good you've done." said Rupert.

He then turned to Critic.

"While I've seen everything from the mirror it does look different now that I have legs again. I'm honored I can now serve you and the army a bit better than just the occasional spy when you need something." Said Rupert.

He smiled at him.

"Thank you. But I'd prefer to get to know you all some more. I can see more of the house any time. But it's not often so many of us are together and there's not somethingw rong." said Rupert.

XXXX

Grimhilde looked guilty at rupert's wors but he said she souldnt' feel bad. That she hadchanged. She listened to him and found she agreed. She loved Ace very much and she no longer was obsessive with her beauty as she used to be. Although she does prefer to maintain her beauty with makeup and things. Hearing him say even Snow White might forgive her she found she actually agreed with him. Snow White was one of the nicest people she'd met. It had bothered here before but she had a feeling if she told Snow White she was doing good Snow White would probably be happy. Then she'd probably back her a pie or something. She chuckled at the thought. While she still had lingering feelings of resentment she knew that she had to put it behind her. Snow: White hadn't done anything against her personally. Although she doubted Snow White would ever see her as a friend oir family after what she'd done. She spoke again to Rupert.

"Thank you. For forgiving me. I won't forget that. I hope I can try to make it up to you." said Grimhilde.

XXXX

Gene just remained silent watching seeing this kinder side to Grimhilde was quite rare and something he only saw when she was alone with Ace. He stood off to the side with Mrs. Potts and grinned glad things were turning out alright.

XXXX

Nella tuned out the other conversations when Raphael spoke to her. She smiled at him.

"Donny spoke about me?" asked Nella.

She blushed not used to that attention. She composed herself with a grin.

"Yes. I'm Nella. He's a good friend. And I suppose my sensei. Like Splinter is to you. Although if you ever want to give me some pointers sometime as well I'd appreciate the help. Although I would mostly prefer to train with one teacher to improve my skills. Unless you decide to help train me together." said Nella.

She paused walking over and hugging him.

"I'm glad you and Michelangelo made it back safely. I was once part of Dark Nella you know. But a few weeks ago I split from Dark Nella thanks to Nostalgia Chick's ring. I was supposed to regain my body and instead I split into two beings. It confused everyone but now I'm glad I'm still here. I just miss Pinocchio. Do you know how Pinocchio is doing? How was he the last you saw him?" said Nella.

[Nostalgia Critic]

"Yeah. The occasional spy I think you'd be useful for" Critic responded calmly as Rupert's kind response to him. He listened as Rupert explained that the human form was more useful and that he was more preferable to talking with them rather than just looking around the place. Critic nodded, understanding this arrangement "Sure. Whatever you wanna know about me rupert, I'm here now and you can ask me any questions" He turned to Grimhilde and smiled as rupert said for her not to feel bad. He was more trusting of grimhilde now, she really changed from evil to pretty kind and good. Perhaps it had to do with the fact she had friends here. Either way, critic was glad grimhilde trusted their army more and was willing to stay here. Critic then saw Tony Stark come in and he smirked, glad to see him here
XXXX

"Yeah. He did. He said you're real nice and that if I needed a friend you'd be there" Raphael responded, smirking to how flustered she was with attention. Raphael was not one to get attention either but he liked it that way, however nella seemed to enjoy getting more attention for once. He nodded "If he's teachin' ya ninjisu then yeah, he's probably your sensei even though he won't wanna admit it. He's too modest" He then shrugged "It's up to you and donny. If you want my help I'll be happy ta. Though the stuff I learn is the same as donny so you'll be getting the same lessons just in different ways" He was then shocked to feel her hug him and the turtle hugged back and smiled as she responded to him that she was glad he was with them. He was about to express thanks when nella confessed she was a part of dark nella before they seperated. The turtle was shocked but listened to her ask how pinnochio was doing. Raphael was quick to respond "He's well cared for. I mean they've lied to him but they do care about him. He's with ronno and they're thick as thieves. And Loki, as cruel of a bastard he is, is also pretty good to him. I don't trust any of them but I'm mature enough to admit that he is cared for their. But maybe he needs to come here"

Tony was quick to notice the crowd and smirked, deciding to take out his boredom by interupting the arena of people. He responded quickly "Hey this a private party or can anyone join?" He then turned to see rupert and responded with a grin "Hey there stranger. Name's tony stark. What's yours?"

[Nella]

Rupert smiled at Critic.

"Thank you. I just wish to help out wherever I can." said Rupert.

He smiled at Critic.

"Well I know more than you think Critic. Being a Magic Mirror there is very little I don't know about. I've been watching a lot of those review shows of yours and the others and even looked for the films. And there's some I wish I hadn't." said Rupert.

He shuddered at the thought. Some films shouldn't have been created at all. He paused looking as Tony arrived.

"Hello Tony. I'm Prince Rupert. I used to the queen's Magic Mirror. Although I still have the powers I used to possess so I'm still the magic Mirror I suppose in a way." said Rupert.

XXXX

Nella smiled at him.

"Thanks. You know I was a big fan of your show. You guys are awesome. And we'll get your brother back. And make Malachite and the others regret taking him away and brainwashing him. They did that to a couple of my friends only they split it up. They wiped the memories of my friend Ma-Ti and then used him to give a ring to Goggles to brainwash her into serving their army. Not sure if you met Goggles while you were with Ask That Guy's Army or not." said Nella.

She listened to him and smiled.

"Well I need all the help I can get. Besides Donny won't always be free to teach me so if I have you both to teach me then I know I'll be a great warrior one day." said Nella.

She smiled as he hugged her back and listened to her speak. He said Pinocchio was ok.

"He's ok? Thank god. I know Ask That Guy and Dark Nella seem to care about him. But they lied to him. He thinks his father doesn't love him anymore. With Facilier's help they showed him an image of his real father Geppetto babysitting for a neighbor's kid and tricked him into thinking Geppetto replaced him with someone else. That poor boy thinks his father doesn't care about him. He's being lied to. I just wish I could tell him the truth." said Nella.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts turned to Grimhilde and Gene.

"Would you two like to help me prepare some snacks while the rest of them talk?" asked Mrs. Potts.

The pair nodded following Mrs. Potts into the kitchen to make some sandwiches, snacks, and things.

[Tony Stark/Iron Man]

Critic smiled softly as Rupert expressed that he wanted to do anything to help, that caused Critic to trust him somewhat more than he already did. Critic then nodded and smirked as Rupert expressed he knew more than Critic assumed, including films that shouldn't exist. He laughed and responded with a annoyed, disgusted frown "Yeah. Like Garbage Pail Kids the movie" He shuddered at that. He then turned to see Tony and gave him a nod of acknowledgement, then turned to rupert and responded "Oh good. So you can still tell us somethings about the villain's future or something like that?"

"A show? Wow. Splinter is gonna have a ball knowing that or does he already know?" Raphael let out a amused laugh before listening more to Nella. He nodded in appreciation for her hope to get Leo back, Raph also hoped for that chance but he knew it would still take a lot of time. He then nodded "I met Goggles, she was nice and stuff. She hated spoony though..." He widened his eyes "She was under a spell but she was freed! I hope she and spoony made up or something. Are they together or ok or something now? I lost track of her" He facepalmed in humiliation "Sorry. I was more focused about my brother. I hope she's ok" He then nodded at Nella's request that if donny was not available, raphael could be and he nodded "Sure nella. I'll help if Donny's busy. Which he could be since he's supposed to be a member of the science group here"

He smiled as she and he hugged but eventually let go of her, listening to her relief of pinnochio and he felt terrible for leaving the poor child behind. "I know. You're right. They DO care about him but he needs to know the truth, so he won't live under their lies. Loki though he completely and sincerely cares for him, Loki himself doesn't know about the lie from what I heard" He sighed and rubbed his face "I at first didn't know either. That's why I think Loki doesn't know because the only ones that know about it are Dark Nella and ATG and now me. Look, I hate Loki with a undying passion but I'm still sure he cares about pinnochio truly. I hope" He then sighed angerily "Poor kid. I wish he was here too"

"Shit. You are? You're pretty cut for a human though. Glad you're able to do more" Tony responded with a smirk. He was interested as well as amused. The iron man listened and then widened his eyes at the fact the man was still able to do his magic mirror powers. "What? Really? That's useful. So you can still tell the future or like Critic said, spy on the villains?" He smirked "Wish I had stuff like you man"

[Nella]

Rupert shuddered at that.

"Yes. Like that film. That film should never have been made. Plus it made no sense. If there was an ugly jail you think it'd have more people than it did in that film." said Rupert.

He heard Tony's words and blushed a bit not used to such flattery.

"Thank you Tony." said Rupert.

He paused and shook his head as they both asked about his powers.

"I can show the past and the present clearly. Although the future not so much. As the future is always changing with each decision you could make so a potential future i show you could be changed very quickly. But yes I can help you spy on the villains." said Rupert.

XXXX

Nella grinned.

"I think he know. At least Donny does. You guys got a lot of admirers you know. People who call you guys heroes. And well I'm one of them. There's been many shows and even a comics about the ninja turtles. But each version was different. Your universe was a tv show created in our world 9 years ago in 2003. It lasted a few years before it was canceled though. But you guys had a good run." said Nella.

Nella nodded.

"She's ok. She's with Spoony now. I'm sorry. I thought you knew about the spell. It's ok. I was worried about Pinocchio so much. At least I know they're treating him right. They've lied to him but I really think Ask That Guy and Dark Nella do care about him and the other kids in their own way." said Nella.

She grinned as he agreed to help train her.

"Thanks. I need all the help I can get. I don't have Dark Nella's powers to rely on anymore so I need to be careful." said Nella.

She smiled glad Michelangelo was backing her up about Pinocchio. She was surprised to hear Loki was so close with him.

"Loki? That's a surprise. Perhaps there's some good left in him after all." said Nella.

Nella smiles.

"Well thanks for the information. I know he's alright for now. With Loki and his parents and the others looking out for him I'm sure he'll be fine. I just worry about him. Facilier made a deal with him once to cause trouble and it resulted in him being a prisoner here for awhile. What if he tries something like that again? Malachite's killed Ma-Ti. I just don't want anyone else to die especially not the children." said Nella.
