    Summary

    You can rely on Mikey to uncover the thing he is not supposed to find, at least not yet. The discovery forces a painful conversation that was too long in coming.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    “But Don, why was it taped behind the water filtration system? You coulda just, you know, given it to me. Like, what were the chances I was gonna find it there?”

    Finally, Donatello’s efforts involving the panel ceased. Mikey thought he heard him give a soft exhale of breath. Don cast aside the wrench and slid his head and shoulders out from under the helicopter’s controls, sitting up fully to face his brother. For the first time in this conversation, he gave the entirety of his attention to Mikey, his eyes focused and worryingly serious. Mikey felt a twitch of concern deep in his belly.

    “I didn’t want you to find it, Mikey. I hoped you’d never find it.”

    Summary

    “I don’t need to hear how I messed up in New York! Okay?!” A lump still sits in his throat, thick and heavy. “I got my shell kicked. I let everyone down. I lost my SWORDS. I… I-I…”

    I should be dead.

    Summary

    “Mikey, hurry up! You’re going to be late for training!”
    “Huh?” Mikey turned to look at Leo, and nearly choked on the toothpaste foam that was in his mouth. He coughed, spitting out what he could, and hacking up the rest.
    Leo shot him a flat look. “Come on. I don’t think choking on toothpaste is an excuse Splinter is going to accept again.”
    Mikey blinked at his brother in the mirror. “I, uh… yeah. I’ll be there in just a minute, Leo.”
    “Just be quick. I’m not making excuses for you again.”
    With that comment, Leo was out of the doorway, Mikey hearing him leap over to the training area. Mikey blinked at his reflection in the mirror. What… had just happened? Yeah, Leo had come in and interrupted him brushing his teeth, but it felt like there was something more going on. Like he had just been--
    “Mikey!”
    Right, right. He’d come back to that later.
