Happy Reading!


Justin's P.O.V

I woke up with my head hurting this morning. Just like it does sometimes. I think it's stupid because the crash happened like 2 years ago and I still don't remember my life before it! I really want to, really really want to. There's something missing in my heart and it messes with my head. I can't get happy about anything and my new family does not help at all. The only time I feel better is when I'm around those guys and that girl. Something about them makes me feel better.

"Justin, aren't you leaving today?" My foster-mother, Trisha asked with her dull face. I finished pulling over my white hoodie and nodded at her. She nodded and then looked disgusted. She started feeling better when I was around because my foster Dad, Kenny, would hit me around instead of her. I sighed and noticed the fresh yellow and blue bruise underneath my jaw line. My tossed blonde hair and sleepy light blue eyes didn't help anything. I heard a car horn and jumped with joy. That must be Donatello and the others!

I practically ran down the stairs and froze when Kenny was standing near the door. He was glaring at me.

"Are you leaving?" He asked and I nodded, afraid to move an inch. "Whatever, the game starts at 6 so I want you back here to get me stuff you worthless shit." I cringed as he opened the door and ushered me out. I ran out as fast as I could and smiled when Leonardo opened the door for me. I got in and sat by Raphael and April. Everyone was smiling at me a lot and I looked almost confused.

"So are you okay Mi-Justin?" April asked and I frowned. They keep trying to call me something else. Why?

"I'm okay April." I replied and she nodded. Raphael was glancing at me sideways and I tried to ignore it. Donatello smiled at me from the review mirror.

"Okay do you guys have a surprise for me or something?" I joked and they looked at me questioning. "You keep staring..."

"Oh uh, nothing...we just..missed you." Leonardo said and I blushed a little. We just talked last night though. What he said bloomed in my chest and immediately made me feel better.

"Okay dude, you can't freak out but..." Raphael started and I rose an eyebrow. "We live in the sewers." I froze with wide eyes. I began to laugh uncontrollably. "Hey it's true!" Donatello and April laughed hard with me.

"It does sound a little funny, but it's true." Donatello said flashing me a grin. I stopped. They're serious?

"You're more poor than I am!" I exclaimed and they all burst out laughing. I cocked my head confused. Raphael wiped his eye.

"I missed ya so much." I just looked at him confused as the car ride drug out. Sure enough we parked in some weird tunnel and I saw the most amazing thing ever. A place with a couch, TV, pinball machine, tire swing, pool and what not.

"Amazing..!" I cried with joy as we walked in. My voice echoed throughout the place. I was still admiring while they talked and then all of a sudden I seen this seven-foot rat in my bubble. "WAHH!" I clung to Raphael and he froze.

"Do not be afraid of me my child. I used to be human once too so I will not hurt you." He told me and for some reason I believed him. This place was weird! He looked at me and then the others. "So..you are Justin?" He was half smiling as I cocked my head.

"Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you...um.." His face looked somewhat pained. I felt bad instantly. Was I supposed to know his name?

"My name is Hamato Yoshi, but everyone calls me Master Splinter." He said his hands behind his back. I blinked.

"Master? Of what?"

"Ninjitsu." I froze. Something hit my chest really hard like always and I almost doubled over.

"Hey, you okay?!" Raphael and Donatello asked touching me. I nodded and stood upright.

"I just, well I dunno what happened!" I laughed with a goofy grin. They looked at each other.

"So Justin, how'd you get that name anyways?" Donatello asked and everyone seemed to have their eyes on me. Even Casey who just walked in. I shifted uncomfortably.

"The Foster unit told me I could pick a name until I...remembered." I blushed looking down. They were all quiet.

"Well my child, you are welcome to stay here anytime with my sons. I do hope you remember though." Master Splinter's eyes sparkled like the missing link was just found. I looked behind me at them and they pretended they didn't see it.

"Um, okay. So what do you guys wanna do?" I asked smiling. I noticed the tire swing again and beamed. "Oh, I wanna swing!"

"NO!" Leonardo rushed to me and grabbed my shoulders. I blinked back my sudden fear. Donatello and Raphael had wide eyes just like Leonardo whose eyes were wide and small. I walked back.

"I'm...I'm sorry.." I shook. Leonardo blinked and hugged me. It didn't feel out of place for some reason just like my hug to Donatello.

"Sorry, it's just our brother had an accident on the swing before he disappeared. Broke his forearm." Leonardo explained after letting me go. The others relaxed but I was still rigid. Why was my chest tight? I was feeling that pain again.

"Oh, it makes sense." Was all I could say. April came forth and smiled at me, making the fear go away.

"So Justin, is there a certain something you want to eat?" She asked me putting a hand on my shoulder. I smiled.

"Pizza?" Her eyes lit up the same mine did. I noticed the boys laugh.

"Sure Mi-Justin." She shook her head. I smiled and hugged her hard.

"You're the best April!" I cried and she stiffened. I let her go to see if I hurt her or made her uncomfortable. I was not prepared for the tears that were running down her face. Her eyes were wide and so were the others. What did I say?

"Red..." Casey said walking forth. April smiles and wiped her eyes.

"I'll go get that pizza for you Justin." She walked off and Casey followed her. I eyed the boys and they shifted.

"What did I do wrong?" I asked looking upset. They shook their heads.

"Nothing Justin, she has had a uh hard week." Raphael explained while putting an arm around my neck. I blinked and then smiled. They told me they were going to get some pizza too and to say here. After they left I looked at my feet. This place made me feel all tingly and I wanted to find out why. No not want, I needed to find out why. I walked near the kitchen and listened in.

"...just happened."

"You have to be more careful. If we make him uncomfortable he might run away." Donatello's voice drifted in concern. I blinked again.

"I'm sorry Donnie, it's just, that's what he said to me the time we had that fight and I came back. I couldn't help myself." April sniffed. I looked confused. What the hell are they talking about? I said that to her before? What the shell is going on?! Wait..did I say shell? I felt myself heat up but not in anger but confusion and dullness. I can't figure it out, I can't figure anything out!

"It's okay April, let's just talk to him and try to make him remember.." Leonardo said and quirked an eyebrow. Fearing they might be done I ran softly and found myself looking at four doors. I opened one softly, which had a bed, posters, a drum set, and then surprisingly a picture with 3 scratch marks, it had 3 turtles, but they looked different. My breath hitched as I grabbed it off the wall for some reason, like I was in a trance. I stared at the turtle in purple and blue. The orange turtle was smiling so close to the camera. It had blue eyes and freckles. I looked at myself in the small mirror at my light blue eyes an freckles. It was almost like this turtle's face. What...? I shoved the picture in my hoodie pocket and left the room. The others met me back with pizza and they turned on this show called Space Heroes and Leonardo laughed.

"What's funny?" I asked confused and still in shock from everything I saw and heard.

"It's my favorite show. Raph thinks it's stupid." Leonardo growled while Raphael smirked. Donatello looked at me and shrugged while I smiled. A few minutes later I was hooked on the show.

"Bahahaha!" Casey laughed all of a sudden and we looked at him like his head was a balloon. I laughed with him even though I don't know why we're laughing.

"What's up Casey?" April asked leaning into him. He was staring at his phone and showed three guys tripping out and they laughed. I looked confused.

"Oh, the Purple Dragons are so stupid." Raphael rolled his eyes. I looked at them, who were the guys? Purple Dragons sound familiar in a way. My chest tightened again and I held it. Don't panic for no reason Justin.

"Who are they?" I spoke up and they looked sad for a slight moment before explaining it all to me. I laughed out loud. Gang members and they can't even handle a crowd of kids?

"Well the Purple Dragons always thought they were bad, that's why they were nothing." Leonardo chuckled.

"Especially when we beat them up at the noodle shop for the first time." I added and everyone, including me froze. Where the shell did that come from? Wait..I said shell again.

"How...did you remember that?" Donatello asked curiously. I shook my head, angry and confused. They sighed and sat up.

"What, exactly, am I supposed to remember?" I asked trying not to sound mean but I knew it came off harsh.

"Justin...it's just that...well hard to explain." Leonardo said in a leader tone. I fumed inwardly.

"W-Well..you better start! I apparently told April that 'she was the best' another time and so you act like you knew me forever! I don't understand!" I growled, frustrated and my chest hurts. Donatello went to touch me but I flinched away. "No, don't touch me! I don't understand you guys! You're freaking me out!"

"We're sorry Justin..." April silently sobbed and I felt guilty instantly.

"If you wanna know..." Casey began but Raphael hit his arm. "Ow..."

"Does this have anything to do with Michelangelo?" I asked it feeling weird coming from my own mouth. I blinked back my confusion and surprise at the hurt in their faces. Despite no words they all nodded, nearly at the same time.

"You think I might have known him?" I asked feeling like I understood a bit more. They hesitated while I quirked an eyebrow.

"Er..yeah. Sorry." Leonardo said and they looked at him surprised. I let out a breath.

"Well if I knew him then I'll try to remember. Sorry guys for freaking out." I smiled. Raphael rubbed my hair and sat down on my right side.

"It's fine." April smiled after sniffing. We continued watching and making fun of Space Heroes which made Leonardo fume, it was pretty entertaining.

"Are you guys ready for training?" Master Splinter came out and my eyes widened. Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael looked surprised.

"Sure!" They cheered and ran off. April ushered me to watch and Casey too. I sat down on my knees like everyone else did. So they really were ninjas? That was so cool! I touched my chest to get it to stop aching but it was no use.

"Okay, Donatello vs Leonardo first. Winner fights Raphael." Splinter smiled and they chuckled. Leonardo went to the wall and grabbed two swords, Donatello grabbed a stick. I wanted to laugh so hard. "Hajime!" They began to fight and block, fight and block. It was so fun to watch that I found myself laughing and smiling. Raphael rubbed my hair again and chuckled with me. All so suddenly my hand found the crease where the picture was. I wanted to look at it again...

"Ah!" Donatello gasped as he threw something that Leonardo dodged. I blinked as I caught it without thinking, it almost hitting my forehead. I stared in surprise and dropped it, backing up a couple of paces. "So sorry Justin!"

"Wow!" April gushed and Casey clapped. I looked at them confused.

"How did I do that?" I asked out loud. "Am I a ninja too?!" They laughed.

"Yes you are." Raphael said and I blinked. "We just know you are, or were before the crash." I looked down at the thing and realized I knew it was a shuriken. Why did I know that? Please...someone help me understand. Donatello seemed to think of something as we all stood up and Master Splinter was looking at me.

"By the way Justin, did you know Mikey had nun-chunks?" He asked me. My eyes widened as my chest tightened for the thousandth time this morning. My thoughts drifted back to when I first woke up.

"You're free to go Justin." The doc said smiling. I smiled back and sighed in relief. "Oh also!" He gave me a small box that had what looked like two handles and a chain, one had a sharp end and ever so slighty there was a tattered orange mask. "These were on you when you were found, we kept themsafe." I took them absent-mindedly and put them in my new closet at the Robert's house.

I felt the same heat from before and began to touch my cheek. I'm burning up! They had already started conversations like I hadn't had to answer the question. The Master Splinter rat was still watching me and I sighed to make myself calm down and try to feel better. I felt weak, like my knees would give out. Why had that memory freaked me out? Cause this Mikey guy had nun-chucks and I do too? A sharp pain in my chest had me holding it and bending a bit. I heard my name called and then came to a conclusion. That Mikey guy must have liked to fight...so did I maybe that's why...

"Booyakasha!" the orange clad turtle screamed out with his nun-chucks in hand.

Why...Why did I...? I felt myself falling into someone's arms as I closed my eyes.


Raphael's P.O.V

One second he was laughing and standing up. The next second he's falling in my arms. Our eyes were wide with alarm. "Justin!" I yelled shaking him a little.

"Put him on he couch!" Donnie told me and I listened to him. I set him down easily and we all almost crowded him.

"Is he alright? He looks pale!" April fretted. Master Splinter touched his forehead.

"He has a fever." He announced looking upset. Donnie came back in with a wrag and ice, placing them both on his forehead. Justin moaned and shifted. I began to feel very anxious. What happened to make him suddenly fall out.

"I have no idea why this start," Donnie started while looking worried. "But I don't think it's anything serious.." As soon as he said that Justin stopped moving, but still breathing.

"Uh..Donnie...Donnie!" Leo freaked out, his hand on Donnie's shoulder looking down at Justin. "Do something!" Donnie looked frightened as he checked his pulse.

"His pulse is low, April get me some water!" He ordered and she left in a hurry. "Raph get a couple of blankets!" I nodded at him as I ran to my room and grabbed my blanket. I can't believe at how scared I'm feeling right now. I turned and stopped when I noticed my picture of my brothers as turtles was gone. I shook my head and decided to find it later. Mikey mattered more right now...

"Hmm, why...?" Justin breathed, finally moving. Donnie sighed in relief as April came back with the water. Master Splinter was watching them intently and Leo never left Donnie's side. Casey was walking around, pacing.

"Are you okay Justin? Are you hurting anywhere?" Donnie asked going to doctor mode. Justin's eyes shimmered with tears. I felt so bad.

"I'm always hurting in my chest..always..." He muttered while flinching from the cold.

"Do you know what causes it?" Donnie asked with concern, his brow furrowing. Justin shrugged slightly.

"When I try to remember." He answered and we froze. We practically did this to him. I hid it well but Donnie could hide the wave of guilt coming off him. Leo clenched Donnie's shoulder. "What...what does booyakasha mean?" We all froze again and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Raph it's not funny." Leo frowned and I shook my head trying to stop laughing. It was such a stupid phrase. "It's something that you used to say before the crash."

"Huh? What?" Justin asked leaning up but Donnie tried to push him down. "No that can't be right, cause in my head..." He stopped and we all looked confused.

"What, did you remember something?" April asked hopeful. Justin looked like he was having an internal struggle with himself.

"A turtle.." He said and we paused in surprise. "A turtle with an orange mask...he said it..in my head...a memory?"

"Yes, of Michelangelo." Donnie whispered and Justin went wide eyed. "He says it a lot. Oh yeah...we..."

"Turtles? Am I going crazy man?" He asked and we laughed softly.

"No my child." Master Splinter broke in. "Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo were mutant turtles." Justin looked surprised.

"Things just keep getting weirder and weirder..." He muttered holding his head. It took him minutes of coaxing us into letting him get up and walk around. We were still worried about him. "So he has an orange mask and nun chucks?"

"Yeah." I told him while laying on the top of he couch, balancing myself. Justin still looked pale and I was about to comment.

"So did I carry his stuff?" We all froze.

"Why?" Leo asked looking upset. Justin looked at his pocket for some reason.

"Cause in a box back home I have an orange mask and nun chucks..." He admitted and I felt the color leave my face. If anything now you couldn't deny that he was Mikey. I almost wanted to cry...almost.. I forced my feelings down. "Doc says I was clenching to them."

"Uh, yeah..." Donnie said with a stupid tone. He turned so we couldn't see him. I knew he was upset so I put my hand on him. He shook just a little at my touch. Leo looked sick too as he just sat face down on the couch. Master Splinter was gone to meditate.

"I should get going..." April said with a gloom about her. "See you guys tomorrow!" We waved at her as Casey nodded at us and followed her out like usual.

It was so awkward when they left, it was also very quiet. I wanted to say something so bad. I just wanted my little brother back. I wanted to hug him and tell him he was our Mikey, not Justin. The name did not suit him at all.

"Ha...I"m sorry guys..." He suddenly said with tears in his eyes. Our eyes widened in surprise and alarm. "I keep bringing him up...I'm just so confused. I always have been; its down right annoying."

"I understand that." I smiled and he smiled back wiping his eyes. Suddenly he looked down.

"So...what are you guys wanting from me?" He asked and we all looked at each other.

"We just want you here, hanging out with us like your usual self." Leo said looking up with a sad smile. I hate it...Justin nods and sits on the floor. We all began to watch again, feeling awkward and silenced. Justin kept putting the wrag on his forehead.

"You feeling okay?" Donnie asked while getting up and sitting beside him. Justin smiled and nodded at him.

"I was just panicking before, it was no big deal. Thanks." He said and I wanted to slap him. No big deal?!

"Am I the only one that wants to tell him the truth?!" I blurted and instantly regretted. Leo and Donnie's eyes flashed with hurt. Justin looked shocked, his mouth parted as he nervously put a hand through his blonde hair.

"What truth Raphael?" He asked me and I wanted to roll my eyes. He never called us by our real names before, like ever, not even when he was mad.

"Raph, don't do it. He won't react well.." Donnie pleaded in worry. I bit my gum. Justin looked at Donnie, then Leo, who was trying to search his mind it looked like.

"It's better he hears it from us than someone else and gets the wrong story." I mumbled as I sat down. Justin looked worried as he looked between all of us.

"What's going on guys?" He asked fidgeting. I looked in his light blue eyes.

"We lied, you didn't know Mikey before the crash, you are Mikey." I explained, his eyes widened and he looked like I just shot him in the head. Donnie and Leo were right behind him looking worried. "You lost your memory of what happened and you've been going along with what people tell you."

"R-Really?" He asked looking upset. I nodded, not feeling remorse at all.

"Ever seen a picture of Mikey? He has the same color eyes and freckles in the same place, just like you." Leo went on explaining. Justin's eyes were wider as he pulled out the photo that was missing from my room. I looked surprised.

"You took that?" I asked trying not to sound mad. He looked scared for a second before nodding.

"Yeah, sorry..." He whispered tracing his own face with his thumb. "Why don't I remember?"

"Because you have amnesia, and probably you buried it deep in your brain for whatever reason." Donnie explained going all scientific. Justin nodded and walked a couple of steps away. Then suddenly he sunk to the couch. We immediately jumped up but he was just staring at the couch. "Are you okay?"

"Not really...I just found out I'm somebody else...and I want to remember..." He admitted, his voice sounding far away. I clenched onto his shoulder.

"We want that too." I blurted and the boys looked at me. "I mean...how do you help someone with amnesia Don?"

"Well you can relive something traumatic that triggers memories..." Donnie thought about it. "Most therapists try to get them to talk about it, we can try that first. Only if you want." Justin nodded eagerly and I gave a sideways smile.

"Okay, your name is Michelangelo, you love to cook." Leo starts as Justin blinks with a smile. He looked at us to go on.

"You like to play video games and skateboard." I added on and Justin gasped.

"I skateboard?!" He demanded and we nodded, I even chuckled. "Okay...sorry."

"You love to pick on us and pull pranks." Donnie rolled his eyes and Justin stifled a giggle. So nothings working yet..

"You always hide your pain and smile for our benefit." Leo suddenly added and I froze, noticing Donne do the same. Leo saw that? I never knew that about Mikey, true he was never really sad or angry. Justin's eyes were wide. We paused to see if he remembered anything.

"I just...saw a image of him.. I mean me coming at Raphael's door late at night to console him about Spike, his turtle." Justin looked down and grabbed his chest, which he does a lot. "I feel like that's happened." I flinched.

"You did. The day you and Donnie got injured by Spike you came to my room that night and comforted me. It was embarrassing dude." I pouted while they laughed softly.

"So...anything else?" He asked looking around.

"You never call us by our real names." Donnie added while looking down. So he was annoyed at that too? I grinned.

"Oh, sorry." Justin blushed and looked surprised.

"All good, bro." I said and realized it was my turn. I didn't know what to say and then Master Splinter comes in and places his hand on Justin's shoulder.

"You are a bit slower than your brothers but you are your own person. When you are around you make the tension go away and remind everyone of why they should be happy. Your pain is our pain and we only want to have you back." I almost cried again damn shell! Leo's eyes were watered and Donnie had a tear coming out. Justin was actually crying alot.

"I-I'm sorry I can't remember." He sobbed and Master Splinter hushed him, hugging him so his tail wrapped around their feet. Soon after this happened no one could really say anything else. Justin excused himself to the restroom and we all went back to our thing. I decided on play the pinball machine while Donnie helped Leo clean some more Space Hero tapes.


Justin's P.O.V

I wiped my face off and left the bathroom. This visit was not at all like I was expecting. I wanted more than ever to remember what I need. I wanted to be a part of this family again but I just couldn't remember anything. That thing with Raph and a catch phrase was not enough to satisfy me. I suddenly remembered Leo's face as I went to the tire swing and Donnie's words about traumatic events. If something happens would I remember?

Sneaking into the lair I looked to see them doing their own things. Master Splinter left to sleep some more it seems. I silently tip-toed to the swing and got on it, being careful not to make too much noise. I let myself swing for a minute or two. What would I have done to make Leo make that face? Quickly I stood up on the tire and held onto the rope. Something hit my chest hard and my vision blurred.

"Yeah! Michelangelo going for the win!"

"What are you winning?"

"I'm going to fly and do a back flip in mid-air!"

"Okay, that could not be any more stupid." "Mikey, get down."

"Mikey, get down now! This is not a good idea. Remember what happened last time you tried to jump over Raph?"

"Chill Leo, it will be awesome!"

"Mikey..."

"Here I go! April, record this!"

"MIKEY!"

"MIKEY!" I flinched to see the guys looking at me wide eyed. I cringed and accidentally fell off the tire swing and into the water. The coldness swept at my skin. They pulled me out and I breathed deep in surprise.

"Are you a fucking shell brain?!" Raphael demanded looking me all over. "You could have gotten hurt!"

"Don't EVER stand up on the swing!" Leonardo yelled and I flinched back in surprise.

"S-Sorry, I just remembered something weird..." I admitted while rubbing my face. "I think I believe you now." They looked stunned.

"You believe us?" Donnie asked sounding hopeful. "You actually believe you're Michelangelo?" I nodded and they hugged me hard, almost pushing us back into the water. I laughed and hugged them back equally as hard.

"Ah, Mikey!" They yelled with big smiles and I smiled back. I have got to remember soon so I can be the Michelangelo I used to be.


Yeeey! Another chapter done! :) Hope you guys liked it! R&R!
