Summary
Don clicked his tongue, “Oh, this is because you’ve been reading that Vietnam POW book, isn’t it?”
“Ah geez, it’s The Art of War all over again….” Raph groaned.
“Yes, and that is absolutely not a bad thing, Raph. We use Sun Tzu’s tactics all the time, because they work.” Leo defended.
“I’m not really sure the U.S. Code of Conduct applies to mutant turtles…” Don piped up again.OR: Inspired by the interrogation survival tactics in his book, Leo decides to teach his brothers some super serious, potentially life-saving techniques. Too bad his brothers are the worst.

Summary
“I’ll go with them –“ Leo started
“No.” Raph said.
“Just until there’s an opportunity to break away – “
“No.” Raph said again.
“Or negotiate us out of this mess.” Leo finally finished with an exasperated look at Raph.
Raph glared for a solid second. “Then I go with you.”
“Raph,” Leo frowned. “I need you to look after Don and Mikey –“
“We can’t split up!” Mikey squeaked, interrupting. “That’s the worst strategy!”
“Uh, Don and Mikey will be fine, thanks, but let’s talk about how this is a terrible idea –“ Donnie started.or: Leo and Raph are irreplaceable to the team. But after a mission gone awry, Mike and Don are left filling both their own roles and those of their absent brothers as they try to mount a rescue.

Summary
Donatello bites out, “Can I be excused?”
Splinter knows when to pick his battles. It’s a lesson all of his sons could stand to learn.
“Take your plate, please,” the rat says.
To Donnie’s credit, he doesn’t storm down the tunnel to the lab, even though it looks like he’d like to. The reinforced door shuts behind him with a decisive clang that rings through the lair.
Leo feels wrong-footed by the entire exchange. Somehow, in the last three minutes, a comfortable family breakfast went entirely off the rails.

Summary
The sublevel the live specimens are kept on requires security screening conducted by a pair of steely-eyed armed guards and one final ID scan at the door beyond them. There’s a bit of a hiccup with Leon’s badge not reading properly on the scanner, but you were there when it was printed, and you’ve worked at the EPF long enough that when you vouch for him, the guards let it slide.
He really wouldn’t have made it this far if he didn’t belong here, after all.

Summary
Reality hasn’t quite sunk in yet, he thinks.
It’s not until he takes a step back, not until his foot crunches on something hard and triangular, that the sheer weight of what’s happened crashes down on him. His body is trembling, his stomach churning, and there’s a hot stinging pain behind his eyes as he lifts his leg to get a look at what he just stepped on.
It’s no bigger than a bottle cap. Could be some bit of debris, but no, it’s caked in blood and patterned with an unmistakable texture. The little piece of shell is like a knife—it even drew a bit of blood from the bottom of his toe. And dammit, it’s not the only piece. He’s standing in a minefield of shattered turtle shell.
Raphael thinks he might puke.
---
IDW Raphael reflects on his relationship with his genius brother, whose facial expressions leave something to be desired.

Summary
Agent Bishop knew entirely too much about the turtles for someone who had not previously met them—Donatello wants to know how. The Occam's Razor theory tells us that the simplest answer is usually the correct one, and Donnie thinks he's found it. The only problem is that it's the middle of the night, and he still hasn't slept since escaping from that underground lab.
