* AbortedArc: In this [[AlternateContinuity AU]], [[spoiler:Fury took Stark's claims that SHIELD's systems were vulnerable seriously, leading to a cybersweep that unveiled HYDRA's presence long before they could attempt to take over. This led to the arrest of Sitwell and every other HYDRA agent in SHIELD, meaning that their attempted takeover in ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'' would never happen.]]



* BewareTheSillyOnes: Mikey is easily the jokiest, most fun-loving member of his family. But he's also the team's most athletic member (he's the fastest runner, capable of outlasting Petra even ''after'' she got her powers) and, when a member of his family is threatened, he drops his laid-back personality and [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]].

* BlindAndTheBeast: After he's injured in a fight, a blind man allows Leo temporary shelter in his apartment. Subverted; the man [[spoiler:former Captain George Stacy]] realized fairly quickly that Leo wasn't human, but [[spoiler:he's a friend of Agent Coulson's, and agreed to keep the Turtles' secret... mostly because [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Leo saved Gwen Stacy's life]]]].

* ChekhovsGun: At the end of Chapter 34, [[spoiler:Norman Osborn acquires the severed tail of Leatherhead (which Spider-Ninja accidentally ripped off during a fight).]] In Chapter 40, the [[spoiler:DNA samples taken from the tail are used by the Goblin and Dr. Phineas Mason to mutate Baxter Stockman.]]

** [[DecompositeCharacter Averted]] with Alex O'Hirn. Despite him usually being the Rhino in most Spider-Man continuities, here he's an ex-con who turned his life around, while the position of Spider-Ninja's jungle-themed villain is filled by [[spoiler:Bebop and Rocksteady]].

* EasilyForgiven:
** Played straight with Donatello and [[spoiler:Dr. Octopus]]. After his HeelFaceTurn, he feels terrible for his actions and vows to do all he can to make amends. Donnie readily believes him and becomes his friend... even though he [[spoiler:kidnapped him and tried to force him to build a weapon. In Don's defense, Dr. Octavius hadn't been in his right mind at the time and apologized numerous times]]. That said, SHIELD keeps a close eye on [[spoiler:Doc Ock]], and insists that he wear an ankle monitor at all times.
** Averted with [[spoiler:Doctor Connors and Raphael. When the Hamato family learned that Connors stole Raph's blood and betrayed their trust, none of them are angrier than Raphael. Splinter deconstructs this trope when he assures Raph that, while it is best to forgive those who hurt you, it isn't always easy. It takes several months, a zoo battle and Leatherhead being turned back into Connors before Raphael finally forgives him.]]



** To avoid getting an injury treated, Mikey goes into his shell. While his siblings clearly view this as normal, [[LampshadedTrope Dr. Connors stares for a second.]]

* GeneHunting: In Chapter 29, Petra decides to ask SHIELD to help her learn about her birth parents. Downplayed, in that she's known all her life that they're dead; she's merely curious about who they were. This is how she learns that they were [[spoiler:SHIELD Agents Richard and Mary Parker, friends of both Nick Fury and Logan/Wolverine]].
* GoingForTheBigScoop: [[IntrepidReporter April]] has a reputation in the journalism community for doing this, to the point that ''Nick Fury'' respects her fearlessness. She shows this trait in Chapter 31, when she accompanies Agent Coulson (against his will) on an investigation. She later admits that she was reporting from Harlem the night that the Abomination tore through it, stating that the event was terrifying... but she got an amazing story out of it.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: A prank call from Mikey convinces all of the security guards outside of Avengers Tower to abandon their posts after they're told that there are free doughnuts in the break room, allowing the siblings a better chance at staking out without being seen. This trope is taken even further when ''none'' of the guards thought to go check why all of the security cameras on the outside of the building were suddenly dead. What's more, when the guards realized they'd been tricked, they found out that they couldn't return to their station because someone had blocked the door with a Dumpster.

* GuiltyPleasure: Leo is secretly a fan of the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' books. The only person who knows is April, and he's sworn her to secrecy because he knows his siblings would ''never'' stop teasing him if they learned.



* InSpiteOfANail:
** Despite this fic taking place in an AlternateContinuity, [[spoiler:Baxter Stockman is still mutated into a fly]]. Unlike in some incarnations, he seems perfectly fine with this.
** Even though he's never seen (and knows practically nothing) about them, J. Jonah Jameson still vents about "the wall-crawling menace".



* MoodWhiplash: April and Casey's walk home from their date is light-hearted and romantic as the two grow closer... only for [[spoiler:the recently-mutated Baxter Stockman to show up, knock out Casey, and kidnap April.]]



* ObliviousToLove: When April and Casey first meet, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Splinter, Raph, and Mikey can instantly tell the two humans like each other.]] Petra, however, only sees the two looking at each other strangely and ends up asking Splinter if they're okay. Splinter says that they're fine, and that Petra will understand some day (which just leaves her more confused).

In a distant part of the Spiderverse, four-year-old Petra Parker lost her [[DeathByAdaptation Aunt May]] and [[DoomedByCanon Uncle Ben]] in a traumatizing incident. Luckily, she was found and taken in by Master Splinter, a master ninja (who also happens to be a large mutant rat). She was raised alongside his four sons (all mutant turtles), and became a skilled ninja. After a fateful trip to [=OsCorp=], her DNA was mutated by special spider venom, giving her arachnid-like powers. Together, the ninja siblings spend their nights as unseen vigilantes, defending NYC... and unknowingly attracting the attention of a certain agency.
