[Dang, Peter. You're like the cinnamon roll meme in person.]

thats pretty cool of you. im happy to help out, say hi, be a fellow new yorker

[heyunderoos]

Oh, thank you? I just, idk. It sucks to be alone with people you know, but don't know you?

Hopefully introducing him to like, everyone in our group should help too. I think he'll get along with everybody anyway.

[licensetocrane]

yeah i get that

[Thinking of Future Boy.]

he seems fun so far anyway, itll be okay

[heyunderoos]

He's really energetic, so it's- a big adjustment.

Also, with his powers he can like read your text history by accident or see through your relic camera, so. Cover the camera with something for a bit if you text him one on one. He's working on fixing that rn, but still

[...oh is that all.]

[licensetocrane]

your brother has superpowers

[heyunderoos]

Apparently, yeah? I don't understand how exactly they work.

[licensetocrane]

kinda sucks that he has them and you don't
but okay Ill keep that in mind??

1/?

[heyunderoos]

Well, okay I actually did want to

[Is he actually committing to this. Is he going to tell April? He probably should since she's the turtles best friend collectively, and she seems really cool.

He debates with himself on it, and accidentally hits send before he actually finishes his response.]

[aw shit]

[heyunderoos]

[OKAY COMMIT TO IT, JUST COMMIT TO IT-]

4/5

[heyunderoos]

[but what if she thinks its weird-]

5/5

[heyunderoos]

[Too late, committing to this.]

Sorry, hit send too soon-

I was gonna say 'I did want to tell you something'. I have superpowers too, but its like not a big deal.

/applause 1/2

[licensetocrane]

[Somehow this response does not shock her as much as it might. What with the brother from another universe having super powers, there was a sliver of 'wait, what if'

But there's a pause regardless, and it's not because she is shocked or offended, she's just tallying some minor facts.

...couldn't be. Could it?]

[Private So Very Private]

[licensetocrane]

...are you a superhero
do you have an outfit
IS IT RED

[heyunderoos]

[Somehow it doesn't surprise him that April put the facts together pretty quickly. He still gives the worlds most awkward laugh when he reads her response.]

red is one of the colors, haha

yeah, I'm a superhero, I'm mostly not superheroing as much anymore.

[licensetocrane]

I mean there's not really much to superhero round here I guess
thanks for telling me ur secret is v. safe
I assume leo knows?

[heyunderoos]

Thank you for hearing me out. I realized I should probably tell you before it got like comically weird.

Yeah, he does. I told him first.

[licensetocrane]

coulda been a hilarious double life tho!!
I probably wouldn't have thought about it before you admitted to superpowers so you could have made it a whole running bit

what about donnie and raph? do i need to pretend i dont know around anyone in the fam?

[They're her fam and it'd make her feel uncomfortable, but OTOH superhero identities are srs bsns.]

[heyunderoos]

I've been living that double life since I was fourteen, it stopped being hilarious a while ago. I nearly got kicked out of school for bailing on that field trip.

Donnie knows, I keep trying to tell Raph, but it just never comes to fruition conversation wise? He usually wants to like... big brother at me.

[licensetocrane]

[Man she is getting a Good Grade in walking into minefields]

want me to help?

[heyunderoos]

[Girlie pop, he's just like this.]

Please. He keeps patting me on the head and calling me buddy, and the conversation never gets very far?

[licensetocrane]

[She's getting that impression.]

With Raph you just need to be more blunt from the beginning. start a conversation with 'hey Raph I'm spider-guy'

[heyunderoos]

I said 'I'm a superhero' and he did not.... get it.

[licensetocrane]

uh WOW
thats impressively obtuse even for raph

[Then again Raph has struck her as kinda stressed, so...]

turn up and invite him out superheroing as spider guy then rip off your mask dramatically?

[Just don't kiss him while upside down or anything, you might get sued. Also, Leo would be very sad.]
