The Bond of Brothers

Chapter 7

Leo was pacing around the dojo when Mikey walked in, his eldest brother was muttering to himself as if he were insane.

''Leo'' Mikey croaked but his brother didn't seem to hear him. Their two brothers had been missing for weeks and now it felt as if he were losing Leo. ''L-Leo please… Stop pacing, you've been in here for hours''

''They have to be somewhere'' Leo mumbled, ''They're not dead. They can't be dead''

Just the other day the two brothers had found their siblings masks and gear.

Mikey bowed his head as the tears threatened to spill, he sniffled and leant against the wall just to find himself leaning on the weapons rack.

''OW!'' He yelped as a blade sunk into his shoulder, he leapt away and sniffled.

''Mikey? What happened?'' leo was suddenly next to him looking worried.

''I-.. I er.. Leant against the weapons'' Mike blushed as he turned to show Leo his cut.

''Mikey'' Leo frowned as he inspected the wound, ''You've got to be more careful''

Mikey let his brother lead him into Donnie's lab. He quietly sat down and watched as Leo got the necessary equipment to patch up his baby brother.

''This'll sting a little'' Leo warned before cleaning the cut. Mike hissed before bowing his head as Leo wrapped it up. ''What's up Mikey?'' Leo asked as he sat in front of Mikey.

''I miss Donnie and Raph'' Mikey admitted.

''We'll get them back.'' Leo frowned. ''I promise''

''But… But what if they're dead?'' A few tears trickled down Michelangelo's face. ''I'm scared Leo…''

''They're stronger than you think Mike. They'll both be fine'' Leo nodded firmly.

''Y-Yeah… Raph's real strong and Donnie's super smart. Together they'll be ok… right?''

''Right'' Leo smiled. ''Why don't we get something to eat?''

''There's some cold pizza in the fridge'' Mikey grinned. Leo grinned back before putting his arm around Mikey's shoulders.

They needed their brothers back.

But they also needed to keep each other near. They need to be ready to get Raph and Donnie when the opportunity reveals itself.

Their brothers lives may depend on it.
