"I miss you, bros. So much." Mikey whispered as he looked at the moon and stars. They shone beautifully and were rarely alone. Mikey's tears poured down onto his cheeks. His bros were involved in an explosion while fighting against the Shredder and his goons. Even though he tried calling out his brothers' names, they refused to answer. Their bodies were not found. Even though there was hope that his brothers survived and made it out, he couldn't help feeling alone.
Master Splinter heard about the whole situation and his face instantly became grave. However, he shared the same hope that his 3 other sons had survived the explosion. He patiently waited for his 3 other sons. April and Casey were quite upset when they heard about it. Casey almost rushed out of the lair to find them, but April and Master Splinter stopped him and convinced him that the decision would be rash. He might unintentionally give himself to the Shredder. Casey nodded and resisted the temptation of rushing out to find his turtle friends.
April and Casey tried to cheer Mikey up whenever they arrived at the lair. Mikey appreciated the efforts but he wished that his brothers were with him. Without them, he felt all alone and vulnerable. As he thought about his bros, he slowly fell fast asleep on the rooftop. A figure rose from the shadows and slowly approached Mikey. His arms wrapped around his sleeping figure, so that Mikey's head would be on his plastron. Mikey nuzzled into his brother's plastron.
Ever since the explosion, they disguised themselves and blended in among the humans. They could not risk allowing the Shredder to see them. Due to the Shredder's dangerous plan, it was currently too risky for the Shredder to know that they were alive. They would lay an ambush on him, but not now. It's simply not the right time. The 3 turtles had been watching over Mikey ever since their supposed death. Donnie saw him attacking Rahzar and secretly carried him away when he got hurt. What boiled his blood the most was Rahzar's taunting about Mikey being alone. They all knew that he hated being alone.
Leo saved Mikey from the Kraang when he was surrounded. Leo secretly protected him and Mikey managed to escape, though not unscathed. Raph jumped in to help when Mikey was encountered by Fishface when he was ambushed by the Foot a few nights ago. Raph almost hit Fishface for poisoning Mikey with his venomous bite and for taunting Mikey about him being alone, but the 2 other turtles stopped him.
The blue-clad turtle used his thumb to wipe Mikey's tears off his cheeks. "We are always right here, Mikey. You are not alone. We will always be right beside you if you need us." He whispered. Mikey smiled in his sleep, as though he had heard Leo's words.
