Chapter 8 Mikey's Hero...
running and jumping on the rooftops of well lit New York. Pitch kept up rather well. Mikey wanted to get every bit of info about her as he could tell.
-She walks on two legs
-runs on four
-fights on two legs when shooting things, but on four legs when it comes to hand to hand combat
-She most likely lost her mom to the Kraang starting the whole family feud.
-her father was first captured THEN her brother which that made her panic
Mikey smiled at the mental notes he took, I'M DONNIE! then a feeling of dead washed over him, DOES THIS MEAN I'M A GEEK? he looked to Donnie then, thought for a few seconds
"pfft..NAH."
"guys we gotta take a break." Leo breathed sitting down. everyone else did the same, relieved. Pitch didn't want to stop, though she was just as tired, maybe more.
"but... we can't" she panted "we... we've gotta... just a few more... miles..."
"Pitch, I know your afraid-"
"I'M NOT AFRAID! I'M NEVER AFRAID!" she shot, angrily. her breath suddenly strong ringing out into the night.
"I know your concerned about your brother. but you being insanely tired and about to pass out, is NOT going to help him." Leo told her, his dark blue eyes glowing, seemed to say: I know how it feels to be worried about your younger brother, I have THREE.
she sighed and lied down on her back, Mikey lied down next to her. she seemed so focused on the sky, staring the sky down. so many stars were out that night. she seemed to have so deep thoughts by her expression and her eye-line gently wavering, showing she was focusing on more than one thing. soon curiosity got the best of him, and Mikey spoke softly to her.
"what's on your mind?" her concentration broke, and her green eyes moved to her left to look at Mikey,
"how did you know something was on my mind?"
"oh, just... a feeling." he lied,
"well, it's just that, every night my brother and I would try to find our stars."
"your stars? you two have stars? you two OWN a star?"
"no no, we just pick one we like and claim it as 'our star' mine is the right arm of the constellation Orion. Claws's star is the very tip handle on The Little Dipper." she told him. Mikey thought about that for a while,
"Donnie used to show me constellations,"
"not anymore?"
"he has better things to do, like stay up extremely late on his computer doing...things" Mikey frowned at the remembrance of the small amount of quality time they used to spend looking at the stars. and how close they seemed to be in those few 30 minutes.
"hm, yeah. that another reason our dad wanted us to be hunters. because in modern society with technology and other stuff, siblings grow apart. but since we aren't allowed any technology, we never grew apart. "
"yeah, i remember when we were kids, whenever I was upset Leo would always be there for me. he'd hug me and promise me that everything would be okay... now with us older, I don't even think he remembers that time anymore. i mean it wasn't a BIG deal, but even-though it was a small thing, it still kinda always had the impression on me, that i could always count on him. and ever since then, I have."
"wow, big impression to make huh?"
"yeah," he sighed, his expression said more. Pitch realized he was keeping something in, she rolled on her side, propped on her left elbow,
"is there something else? with your other brother? what's his name? Raphael? is that it?"
"well, yeah. he had he biggest impression out of all my brother, I think. he was just... not who he is now, he would always help me learn a new fighting move, and he... was just so cool then,"
"he's not cool now?"
"he's cool still is and always will be, but, it seems like he doesn't care about me anymore... he's kinda a bully now, i keep hoping he'll change, and go back to being the Raph i used to know, but everyday I wake up disappointed. but that doesn't matter to me, no matter when where or what happens, Raphie always has, and always will be my Hero."
what Mikey and Pitch didn't know was, that all three of Mikey's brother we're awake and listening. Raph, feeling a blow that hit him in the chest as hard as a punch from leatherhead.
