Been planning this one for AGES! enjoyxx


Finding Shadow

Michelangelo looked out of the helicopter window as it rose into the air and saw his family watching, he couldn't see their faces. He wondered if they were happy to see him go or were they sad to see him so vulnerable?

He didn't mind being captured too much because he was finally going to find his daughter and he would do anything just to see her again!

''Michelangelo'' Mikey looked round at Dr Thomas Rook and scowled, ''You say I made you hurt your OTHER family.. So that must mean that there are more of you?''

''I had to leave them and travel to New York'' Mikey lied, ''They wouldn't come because they had never been there and they don't the crime around here'' Mikey held back a smirk when he thought about how much he and his family had discussed how much they loved New York. It's one shell of a town.. Mikey remembered Raph saying.

''So they are not in New York? Then why did you shout before being loaded into the Helicopter?'' Dr Rook asked with a smirk.

''I had to get my apology out.. even if nobody heard it'' Mikey shrugged.

''So..'' Thomas grinned, ''Where would this family be staying?''

''You don't need to know that'' Mikey replied indifferently.

''Oh, but I do'' Thomas nodded, ''unless you want to watch your daughter die?'' Mikey growled a little before sighing sadly.

''They.. they're...'' Mikey pretended to be finding it hard to reveal the "information" When actually he was trying to think of a place. Only one place came to mind. ''They're in California...''

''Where about in California?'' Dr Rook asked interested. Mikey froze, he didn't know any places in California.

''I don't know... they were moving when I asked them to join me in New York.. They refused to tell me where they were going because they didn't want you guys to find them'' Mikey sighed,

''So.. you're an outcast?'' Dr Rook asked with a sly grin, ''But you're ashamed''

''I'm not ashamed of who I am'' Mikey glared,

''What about WHAT you are?'' Dr Rook chuckled,

''No ashamed of that either'' Mike frowned, Dr Rook nodded with a grin.

Mikey could feel the Helicopter lowering itself to the ground, he watched as the door opened before being pushed out.

Dr Rook dragged him into the lab and took him straight to the testing room.

''We'd better check you're in good nick'' Thomas laughed, Mikey heard his stomach rumble. ''Hungry huh? Guess you've not been eating..''

''Duh.. You try living on the streets'' Mikey rolled his eyes, Rook glared at him and sat him on the table.

He went out of the lab for a few minutes and came back with some bread and cheese.

''Eat'' He spat as he handed Mikey the food, usually Mike would refuse but he was so hungry that he was actually drooling a little. He ate the food enthusiastically but regretted it after as he felt faint.

''Nighty night'' Thomas said with out looking at him then everything went black.

Michelangelo woke up and everything hurt, He opened his eyes to see that he was attached to the table and had stitched up cuts all over his body. he heard a movement to his right and saw Dr Rook cleaning some equipment.

''You know.. I might just be tempted to try and remove your shell... wonder what that would do..'' He said without looking at Mikey, ''I imagine it would be very painful''

''I thought you guys were the M.C.D.T'' Mikey frowned.

''We are'' Dr Rook turned to face Mikey.

''but.. M.C.D.T stands for the Mutant Capture and Disposal Team..'' Mikey felt confused, ''Capture is when you capture them and disposal is just to send them away! Are you covering up the death part by using the word disposal?''

''In a way'' Dr Rook sneered,

''But.. what's with all the testing?'' Mikey asked angrily,

''We could use some of your organs and insides to save lives.. human lives'' Thomas explained, ''We could use your healthy organs for those that need a transplant''

''But.. I'm using my organs'' Mikey frowned,

''Yes but we'd much rather kill mutants and save humans than let Mutants live while good NORMAL people are dying'' Dr Rook grinned, Mikey frowned,

''So... I guess it's not ALL bad.. except for the murdering innocent lives thing'' Mikey raised an eye brow. Then he glared at the doctor, ''have you done any of this to my daughter?''

''No.. not yet'' Dr Rook smirked as he released Mikey and dragged him to a cage.

''Where is she?'' mike asked angrily.

''She's in a different room, once the results are in you can join her'' Dr Rook turned away and carried on cleaning the equipment. Michelangelo sat quietly and wondered what the Hamatos were doing now.

...

In the lair the four mutants were sitting around the kitchen table, there were three uneaten pizzas and a box of uneaten sushi. Nobody could eat from the guilt.

''Mikey.. Mikey left to find his daughter'' Leo sighed finally, ''he didn't want to leave forever.. just until he knew what to do and save her..''

''I can't believe we acted like that'' Raph growled angrily,

''I can't believe he hasn't got his shell cell.. how am I supposed to track him to the M.C.D.T building?'' Donatello asked sadly,

''My sons.. we must stay strong for Michelangelo.. we will save him..'' Splinter frowned but he wasn't sure himself if his words were true.

''Let's just go back out and see if we can find where the helicopter landed.. It wasn't too far'' Donnie reasoned, ''I just don't want to sit here and not do anything''

''Are you sure that's a wise decision?'' Splinter asked skeptically,

''What choice do we have Master?'' Leo asked sadly,

''Our baby bro and his kid are in a LAB! with a SCIENTIST! that wants to KILL THEM!'' Raph growled. ''We have to get them out now before they can be tested on or hurt!''

''Raphael is right.. we must save Michelangelo and his child before the unthinkable happens, we start our searching tonight'' Splinter nodded with a new determination in his eyes, ''We have lost him once, let's not let that happen again''

''Hai Sensei'' The three turtles bowed before following their Sensei out of the lair.

...

Michelangelo was starting to fall asleep, he could feel his eye lids drooping and he started sliding against the cage bars.

''HEY!'' Dr Rook yelled as he kicked the cage, Mikey shot up in surprise. ''Don't fall asleep or we might end up doing something to you and your daughter while you're not aware''

''Huh? I wasn't falling asleep'' Mikey mumbled as he blushed,

''yeah, sure'' Dr Rook laughed. Mikey slumped against the bars again and sighed, he was bored and all he wanted to do was grab his daughter and leave to explain to his family that he hadn't intended to leave only go on his own personal mission.

''Dude.. give me something to do'' Mikey grumbled, Thomas turned to him with a sly look.

''If you insist'' he laughed in a sinister way and Mikey suddenly felt nervous as the doctor picked up a needle full of milky looking fluid.

He backed away as much as he could but it wasn't far enough.

The needle was in his arm and his body felt like it was cooking him from the inside out.

''I-I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T GONNA KILL ME YET!'' Mikey screamed,

''This won't kill you.. only makes you wish that I did'' Dr Rook laughed before turning back to his work and grinning at Mikey's pained screams.

After a few moments the pain stopped and Mikey was left gasping for breath, Rook pushed his cage out of the lab door and down the steryl white corridor to a wooden door. He took him through and pushed him into a large cage before stepping back.

''DADDY!'' Shadow squealed as she threw herself on Mike, Michelangelo looked up in disbelief and hugged his daughter tightly.

''Shadow.. my baby..'' He breathed.

''Yes.. enjoy each other for now.. I'll be back tomorrow with some fun ideas'' Dr Rook grinned as he left the room. Mikey cuddled Shadow as she cried herself to sleep against him, he felt sick at the thought of the "Fun" Tomorrow.

...

The four Hamatos felt like they had searched everywhere, they all stopped on their favourite rooftop and sat down.

''It's no use.. '' Leo sighed, ''We can't search anymore tonight''

''Guys..'' Donnie smiled but was ignored.

''I agree.. after our rest we will go home and think this through a bit more'' Splinter nodded.

''Guys'' Don tried again but was once again ignored.

''I WISH THERE WAS JUST A HUGE BUILDING THAT HAD THE LETTER M.C.D.T ON IT!'' Raph growled.

''GUYS!'' Donnie yelled, everyone looked at him in shock. ''Raphael.. you may wanna take a look at that'' Don pointed. They followed his finger to see a huge, tall building with bright yellow letters that read; M.C.D.T.

''Oh..'' They grinned. They had found the location of their brothers prison, they weren't going to waste time so they sprinted towards it as the sun slid up over the horizon.
