[LN] By the Light of the Moon

You know what makes sense? Not this.

It's not anywhere near the first time that Raphael has been pulled out his world and into another one. Not even close. It is the least fanfare this kind of thing has ever had, though. He closed his eyes for one second, one second exactly. He had been training with Leo. It'd been a reflex when he'd hit the ground after a jump.

When he'd opened his eyes, he was standing in a snowy forest. This kind of thing usually came with at least a bad guy's butt to kick.

Damn, it's cold. He's about shin deep in snow. His blood's starting to cool.

Staying put would be the smart thing -apparently, so he'd been told- but Raph was never one to do the smart thing. Besides, there was a very real risk of him freezing to death. Unless he found a way to get warm, he'd be falling asleep in the snow until his heart freezes.

Of course, sometimes it seems like the universe grants your wish without even you having to ask.

Something looks like it's moving in the shadows between the trees, barely glimpsed in the moonlight. The sais are coming out, but what he'll actually be hurting is up for debate. So he charges into the trees anyway, determined to make whatever is stalking him stop moving entirely. And he's not going to back down, even when he sees that they're apparently giant horrible shadow monsters uglier than Donnie after he's been up for 48 hours.

The fearlings? Pretty nasty, especially for a new myth to take on by their lonesome. Fortunately, Kon and Red had gotten there not very long after the fearlings did.

New guy definitely looked like he knew his stuff.

Wait, new guy looked like older guy. Was that a second Raph? Maybe not, because he was bigger and had darker skin. But maybe yes on him being an alternate. That happened when otherdimensional shenanigans went on. Kon himself had met plenty of alternate hims while doing the superhero thang.

Whatever. They could settle it later. After helping.

They'd brought the sleigh, as the Yetis needed to replenish the stock of magic snowglobes. They could barely crank them out fast enough for them to travel all the places they needed to. As soon as they were close, Kon did a swan dive out of the sleigh and flew down to jump into the fight. That meant Raph suddenly had a rather hulking teenage boy with black hair and a black shirt and jeans fly down to join him.

"When there's trouble, you know who to caaallll - The Teen Titan!" he sang, punching a large fearling so hard that it paffed instantly. He loved the sound of fearlings paffing. "Hey, green jeans, you look like you could use a hand. We're here to help. And explain stuff. But we usually do that after the helping."
