Being A Friend (Raphael)

[Raphael]

"We probably will. Hey, they showed me the right path didn't they? If they convince my stubborn self they can convince anybody" Raph said with a positive smile before giving a serious look "All joking aside, I hope so too, because you're right. Nobody deserves to be in a position where they're forced into something"

Raphael then grinned as Ruber mentioned that everyone, including Leo would be saved. Raph patted ruber's shoulder gratefully and said with a grin "Yeah. Thanks ruber. That means a lot" He then smiled as Ruber told him to try to be happy and have fun during this war, otherwise he will go crazy "I think it's too late for me. I've been crazy way before this" He winked before chuckling "Alright, yeah, I suppose givin' myself a break or two wouldn't hurt" He knew that he probably would go exhausted, but probably not crazy, but ruber was once a insane person so he took the warning seriously.

"Well my father splinter always told me that some people stay the same, others don't. Those that don't, it's best we forgive them. And sure, you're welcome to hang around us. My family and I can hook you up a place to live. April's pretty good and finding places, april's one of my friends just so you know" Raphael smiled. He had casey as a friend but he had to share casey and april and although that was fine, it was nice to have at least one friend who only confided in him and vise-versa. So raphael responded to all of ruber's concerns with a simple calm voice.

"Huh. Me kicking your butt is a incentive?" Raphael joked before chuckling "Just teasin'. Who's know who'll win" He then nodded as ruber said everyone makes mistakes and the future can change. That making sure their families were safe was important "You're right man. We'll kick those goons down and make sure they never bother us again"

"Yeah, she's as powerful as she is creepy. Which is really powerful... and creepy" Raphael commented, a shiver in his body as he said this. He then nodded about jasmine's friendship with maleficent "To say the least. Knowing disney, which I did due to... sneaking about in the theater as a kid. Don't ask long story, jasmine didn't seem the type to you know, like magical evil doers. But yeah it's nice to see they get along. We'll get her back for maleficent and the other people who care for her"

[Sir Ruber]

Ruber smirked.

"I'm sure we will. Your brother will be back here before you know it. But you must remember to give him time. You and Michelangelo were tricked into working for Ask That Guy. But Leonardo was brainwashed. Forced to fight for Facilier's army. Against you. He's probably hurt you or your brothers or your father. Even a minor wound could make him feel guilty. Hurting anyone could mess him up but you guys are his family. You may not blame him but he would blame himself." said Ruber.

Ruber grinned at Raphael.

"Your welcome." said Ruber.

He chuckled as that.

"Perhaps." said Ruber.

He smiled glad Raphael considered having fun once and awhile.

"Don't just do it for yourself. Do it for your brothers. One's in the lab most of the time and the other's so sad. He tries to hide it behind smiles or by avoiding people. They both need you and you need them." said Ruber.

Ruber nodded.

"I'd like that. Although it may take time to adjust to this modern world. My world was in the medieval ages. Knights, and dragons. I served under King Arthur once before I became greedy and then went crazy. I assume your world is similar to this one. I'd probably need new clothes as well." said Ruber.

Raphael chuckled as well.

"We'll see who wins the next match. Once I heal I hope to go one on one with you. Perhaps we could be training partners. Or one of them as I'm sure you probably train with your brothers a lot as well." said Ruber.

Ruber grinned.

"I hope so. We have to take out both of those armies. The bright side I can see is they're weaker separated. If they'd still stayed together we'd have more of a problem. But they'll be fighting to destroy each other as well. That could be quite useful." said Ruber.

Ruber shrugged.

"She is creepy but she does have a beauty as well. I wouldn't want to ever get on her bad side though." said Ruber.

Ruber smirked

"Well war changes people. I mean I never thought I'd be doing good again and serving a king of England. After all if you think about it their friendship's similar to us. I mean I'm a villain. Well ex-villain and you're giving me a chance to be your friend." said Ruber.

"Knowing Leo, he definitely will blame himself. He's always been the leader of us. Now with him gone, me and Donny have shared that. I do it when fighting and he does it when at home. But I know he'll be back. It will take a while sure but Leo will be back. I'm not giving up on my brother" Raph sighed, listening to ruber insist to be patient. That Leo was brainwashed which made bringing him back all the more challenging.

"Donny's always been private, but yeah this war made him even do that too much. As for Mikey, he's sort of like me but only way more stubborn. Mikey blames himself for everything about this. He's the baby, and he's been the goofball, he thinks that's all he's good for" Raphael shrugged, sighing sadly "But yeah, I'll try to get them both out of their funk. I need them and they need me. We're family"

"Yeah. It's the same. Only different city and overall universe. We come from New York, here it's Chicago. You've got a lot to learn since you're from Arthur's time. Heh, you're from a really old time" Raphael chuckled, amused with this situation. "You're on. One on one match? How can I resist that? Once you're healed we can have some fun" Raphael said playfully, excited with the idea.

"We can use their anger towards each other as a advantage! Hell, we'd beat the surviving party!" Raphael brought up before sighing "But they'd still make a lot of damage even if they were too distracted to fight us. Maybe we should just prevent the damage. Especially to make sure this world's government doesn't get ideas"

"Nobody would. I mean Maleficent I heard turns into a dragon" Raphael said with some shock. He then nodded with a shrug "Guess war does. It changes a lot of things. Both bad and good"

[Sir Ruber]

Ruber nodded.

"Then you will just need to be there for him. For all your brothers. I fear Leonardo and Michelangelo may be the ones who need you the most. Poor Michelangelo was so nice and innocent at Loki's army. I've seen him now that he's learned the truth. He rarely smiles anymore and the light in his eyes is gone. It's like he's broken. I used to enjoy making people fear me and now I wish I could just take away his pain." said Ruber.

Ruber listened as he talked about him both.

"I think you need to spend time with your brothers even if it's just sharing a meal togther or having fun. Leaving them alone to work or sulk will just make them feel worse. I know you probably have your own guilt but none of you are to blame for what happened to Leo or anyone else who was kidnapped or hurt by the other armies. You need to let that guilt go and try to move on. All of you do." said Ruber.

He sighed at Raphael's last words.

"I don't know if he even believes that anymore. As I said before I haven't seen him smile much or laugh. I didn't realize how much I missed that. He was always telling jokes and making me laugh. Even if I didn't understand some of his jokes. Now I just worry about him." said Ruber.

Ruber smiled at him.

"I suppose it wouldn't be too hard. Unless I'm stuck to be with Hal. Maybe I can ask if I can go with all of you. I think he may stay here with Elisa. I mean technically both of us died in our worlds. I don't know want to return to my world if I'm just going to end up dead. At least here or your world I have a chance to live." said Ruber.

Ruber smirked as Raphael agreed to the match.

"Good. I look forward to it. Perhaps in the mean time you could consider being a trainer to some of the others. Show them what you've learned from Splinter and what you've learned from your brothers and experiences. I'm sure you'd find a lot of people eager to learn how to better their fighting abilities." said Ruber.

Ruber nodded.

"Yes. It would be hard to do but if we could pull it off it'd work. Even if it just caused injuries it would give us a break for awhile." said Ruber.

Ruber grinned.

"That's right. I've fought dragons before in my world. It wasn't fun. So if Maleficent can turn to a dragon then she definitely has my respect." said Ruber.

Ruber sighed again.

"It certainly has. But we can't led the bad changes take control of our lives. We need to remember to have hope, and to have fun or we're dooming ourselves before we try." said Ruber.
