My head hurt and I couldn't hear anything, I didn't know if I had done damage to my head, if I was in shock or adrenaline had shook my system, but I could see, I could see the Shredder, or what was left of him, defeated in front of me, never to cause any problems or harm to anyone again, because of the effort of my family and the rebellion.

Once I came to my senses, I started searching around for my brothers, April and Angel, who had all come into the Shredder's 'throne room' with me. The first person I saw was Raph, covered in numerous cuts and slowly forming bruises, but he was alive, and was holding onto something that was bleeding profusely, it took my brain a while to realise he was holding onto Leo's side.

"What happened?" I asked as I rushed to their side and was hit by the strong scent of blood, not only Leo's and Raph's, but from Karai, who lay on the floor, still bleeding out although she was dead.

"He got stabbed by Karai." Raph explained as he pressed down on Leo's wound, making Leo groan slightly.

"Get him back to the base, I'm going to get Mikey and the others."

"I'm okay." Leo muttered but we both ignored him, going our separate ways.

The room was an absolute mess, several dead bots were scattered around the ground as well as rubble and a lot of blood. Holding my breath, I followed the trail of blood and my heart stopped when I reached the origin of the blood.

"April."

Mikey was kneeling on the floor, no injuries apparent on him, but in his arms, which were covered in blood, was April who was struggling to breath. I rushed to their side and placed my hand over hers.

"What happened?" I asked, looking at my mate.

"She got cornered by several of the bots, I didn't get to her in time…" Mikey's voice wobbled as he told me what had happened and his eyes remained on April, who turned slightly to look at Mikey.

"It's not your fault."

"I should have seen them coming towards you April." Mikey said as he started to cry and I had to try very hard not to let myself cry as well.

"Don't blame yourself...Mikey." April said, her breathing getting worse. "We're all free now, the nightmare's over."

Those were her last words as not long after she was gone. I had later found Angel with the rebels, arresting Shredder's men that hadn't been taken down in the fight and freeing others while they took care of their own dead. A couple of rebels came in and moved April's body, taking her back to the base with the other fallen soliders and the rest came in to clean the mess and burn the remains of Shredder and Karai.

Back at the base, the night was filled with preparing bodies for burning and burial, noting down those that they had lost so that their graves could be marked. During this process Angel had realised her boyfriend had been one of the soldiers lost and she was extremely upset, so Mikey had gone to comfort her and I was left to prepare April's body alone.

I tried to remind myself that this wasn't my April, that my April was back in my time, at home, safe with Casey. But it still hit me hard and Raph must have noticed that as he came up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder in comfort.

"It's okay Donnie...she's with Casey now."

"I know...I knew some of us weren't coming out of this, but…"

"Thinking can't always prepare ya'." Raph completed the sentence for me and I nodded.

"How is Leo doing?" I asked, turning around to face him, at the back of my mind noting that Raph's eye was still in tact, which I was glad about, if he had lost another I knew my brain wouldn't leave me alone until I made him another one.

"He's still out, but the wound's stopped bleeding and they're gonna stitch him up and wait for him to wake up so they can see how he is." Raph explained. "Where's Mikey?"

"He's with Angel, her boyfriend died during the fight."

"Shit, Thomas was a good kid." Raph said, I had no idea who Angel's boyfriend was or what he was like but if my brother thought he was a good person then he must have been.

"She's obviously very upset, so he's comforting her." I said, my words coming out slightly venomously, and I hoped that Raph didn't notice.

"But ya' wish he was here comforting ya'." I didn't reply to what Raphael had said, instead I changed the topic.

"When is April's funeral?"

"Won't be until later on tonight, we lost a lot of people today, they want to do a big gathering to see everyone off."

"Leo won't be happy that he missed April's funeral...he doesn't even know she's dead."

"I'll tell him when he wakes up, I know he ain't gonna be happy, but none of us are going to be if he forces himself to get up for April's funeral only to get seriously ill." Raph said and I nodded in agreement.

Later that evening in the remains of one the nicest part left of Central Park, the many bodies of the people that were lost in the fight against Shredder were burned, including April. A service was led by a man, who I had learnt was named Julian and had previously volunteered at a church before the Shredder had taken control of the world and it was closing in to a new day by the time the service was over and many rebels collected the ashes to store them in order to be buried the following day. Thomas's urn had been handed to Angel, while April's had been handed to me.

"I guess this makes you head of the rebellion now?" Raph asked as him, Mikey, Angel and myself made our way back to the base.

"I guess so…" Angel said. "Tomorrow, after we've buried everyone I should try and make a public announcement." She said and then looked towards me. "Would you be able to help me Donnie?"

"Hm?"

"I wanted to be able to make my announcement worldwide, and I have no idea how to do that, could you help me do that?"

"Of course, I will do what I can."

The following day, the burials were carried out, with Leo still being absent as he was still asleep, which concerned me but I was told by the medical professionals at the base that they had put Leo in a short medical coma which they hoped would help him recover quicker, and knowing my brother, if he had not been induced, he would be up and around as if nothing were wrong and just put strain on his healing. Of course that didn't stop me checking up on him and the people who were looking after him every few hours.

Between the times I was checking up on my brother, I was working hard on trying to gain access to whatever satellites and stations remained around the world. I told Angel that while I would have some access to various parts of the world there would be some places that we would not be able to contact, but she assured me that she already had a plan for that, that she had worked into her speech.

It had taken me numerous hours, but I had the connection, next we had to set up a camera in order to film the broadcast and be able to connect it to my computer. Luckily the rebels that had been clearing out the Shredder's old base had managed to find some equipment that the Shredder and Karai had used to send their broadcasts out.

With everything in place, I waited for Angel to prepare herself, ready to address the people of Earth and let them know that they were now free.

"My name is Angel Bridge...for the past few decades my rebellion, based here in New York City, have worked on trying to take down the Shredder and all those that work for him, and yesterday we did just that. We lost many of our people including April Jones, the former leader of the rebellion who died in the attack against the Shredder, and her title fell to me, and I will do everything that I can to bring the world back to what it used to be, but I will need your help. This broadcast will not reach every city, not every country, so I beg of you to find others, to look after them until more help can come your way.

Although the Shredder and his daughter, Karai, have been defeated, there are still people that will follow his ways...until they are taken down, stay away from them until help arrives. Although we are free, we still have much work to do, keep yourselves safe and look after others, we will be with you soon."

I ended the broadcast and smiled at Angel who smiled weakly back.

"That was great Angel...do you need my help with anything else?"

"No thank you Donnie, I'm going to grab Raph and a few other people to start cleaning up what we can around the city…" She said and rubbed her hands down her face in frustration. "We can start to move out slowly to the rest of the state along with the surrounding ones, but the country is huge Donnie, and we'll have to travel by boat to get to countries across the oceans and we don't have enough people…" Angel started babbling as tears swelled in her eyes and I rushed towards her to give her a hug, so much had been placed on her suddenly, just after the loss of her boyfriend and a close friend.

"It's going to be okay Angel, even if it does take a long time I know that you will get it done and everyone will be grateful for it."

"Thank you Donnie."

"No problem, if you need anything I'm here for you, just ask." I told her and she smiled and nodded at me before making her way out of the room and I decided that it was time for me to check up on Leo.

When I walked into the room, instead of Leo still being asleep in the bed, he was sitting up, talking to one of the medical professionals looking after him.

"You're awake!" I was happy that Leo was out of his medical coma but at the same time confused as to why he was out of it so soon, here was no way that his wound and stitches had healed that quickly. "I would have thought he would be out for longer."

"We didn't want to tell you about what we were doing through fear you would act badly." One of the men explained and after I didn't reply he continued speaking. "We raided Shredder's base for medical supplies to help the people that we rescued as well as to help our own that were hurt...we found a drug that we tested out on a few volunteers with minor injuries and they healed fully in hours, but in the process they were rendered unconscious. We wanted to try the drug on a major injury so we tested it on your brother, and as you can see...he's fine, fully healed! It's incredible!"

"You should have told me or one of my brothers about this, or let someone study it before hand!"

"Donnie-" Leo said, ushering me forward.

"Leo, are you okay? Are you in any pain?"

"No, I'm fine, in fact I feel fantastic." Leo smiled as he moved to stand up beside me. "Whatever they did, it's a miracle Donnie, we have to get this out to rest of the medical facilities."

"Leo I don't know if that will be a good idea, sure everything seems okay at the moment, but we don't know if there are going to be any side effects, which is why new drugs are normally studied first before they are used on people." I said, turning around to the doctor who had told me about the drug.

"I suggest that we keep an eye on Leonardo for a while to see if any side effects come up." The doctor said. "How long would you like us to do that for before sending the drug out?"

"I know you want to get the drug out quickly, but could we do at least one month of observation and regular tests to make sure that my brother's health does not decline, after that you can give out the drug...how much do you have of the drug?"

"We have enough to inject two hundred people, we were hoping to try and replicate the drug."

"Which you will test before giving it to people?"

"Well, we will have to have a test subject, someone who is willing to try the drug...and then we will give it to the medical facilities."

"Someone who has given their consent, I'm still not happy about you testing this on my brother without his or anyone else's consent."

"Donnie-" Leo tried to speak, but I cut him off.

"How do you think Raph would react to learning about this?"

"He doesn't have to know, can't we just be happy that I've healed quickly? You won't have to worry about me moving around and opening my stitches." Leo tried to reason with me, but I was still angry.

"Well if he asks, I'm not going to lie Leo, I am happy that you are all healed, but if anything on your tests comes back slightly bad-"

"Then you can do what you want with them, but for now, let's just hope that this medicine can help the people that need it, we don't have many miracles nowadays, just let us have this one?" Leo said and I felt slightly bad for my angry outbursts and reactions.

"Okay, but we are still running the tests to make sure that nothing else happens to you."

"Of course."

"Okay, good, well, I guess you better go and see Raph, he'll be happy to see that you're okay and he can tell you everything that happened in the fight against Shredder...and everything that happened after." I said and I could tell Leo wanted to ask me about it, but decided against it and walked out of the room to find his mate.

Not long after I followed him out of the room, in search of Mikey, who I found in one of the hallways talking to several rebels.

"Donnie!" He yelled when he spotted me, leaving to rebels to walk over. "I've been looking for you, where have you been?"

"I went to check on Leo."

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine, he's great, awake even."

"Really? So soon?"

"Yes...it's a miracle." I said, knowing I didn't sound as excited as I should be about my brother's health.

"Are you okay?" Mikey asked, placing his hand on my shoulder and looking at me with wide eyes that I could not lie to.

"I'm just tired and stressed."

"Well...if you want, I could help you become less stressed?" Mikey suggested as the hand that was on my shoulder moved down my plastron.

"Mm…okay."

"Great, let's go in the storage room."

"What?" I asked, as I was pushed backwards into a door that opened, which Mikey quickly shut and locked once we were both inside. "How?" I asked, surprised that he just happened to be right by the storage closet, but any other speech and thoughts that I had were pushed to one side when Mikey pushed his tongue down my throat.

"Wait Mikey." I said as I pushed my brother away. "We don't have any lube."

"Yeah we do." Mikey said, pulling a small tube from his belt. He then pulled one of the blankets from the top shelf of a shelving unit and threw it onto the floor, before pushing me onto it and climbing over me, kissing me again.

"Ah Mikey." I cried when I felt a lubed finger press at my entrance and then Mikey's mouth moved down to my neck and I held on tightly to my mate's muscled biceps while he prepped me, almost to the point where I was getting frustrated that he was taking so long to do so. "Ah, Mikey, please, fuck me." That did it.

Mikey removed his fingers and with a snap of his hips he was in me, hitting my prostate dead on and causing me to hit my head on the ground cushioned slightly by the blanket. With his metal hand he held onto my hip, and with the other he held my head where I hit it, probably so that I wouldn't do it again. My hands moved when his did, to grab his hips and encourage his thrusts, as well as my legs crossing behind him.

After a while, I moved one of my hands down to my neglected cock to stroke it in time with Mikey's thrusts, which were getting faster, indicating he was close.

"Oh, god, Mikey." I yelled as I came and seconds later with a grunt and a churr Mikey finished as well. After a few minutes, he pulled out of me and collapsed by my side, drawing me in for a hug.

"What's with the jewellery?" Mikey asked and I frowned, confused at his 'pillow talk'.

"What jewellery?"

"The thing under your wrist band." Mikey said and I didn't know how to answer. I knew that I was trying to pulled back to my own world and time, but I couldn't leave without taking down the Shredder and finding out what had happened to Donnie, so I had been trying to build something that would ground me here and I finished it just before the fight with the Shredder. I know Mikey would be very angry finding out what it was but I knew it could be even worse lying to him about it.

"It's...something to keep me here."

"What?"

"There was something that was trying to take me back to my world, but I couldn't go, not yet, so I was building this on the side and it will keep me here until I take it off."

"What? Why would you do that?" Mikey said, sitting up, so I did too.

"We had to take down the Shredder and we don't know what happened to your Donnie, I want to help-"

"You could help by going back to your time and make sure that this doesn't happen to your world, your brothers, for fucks sake Donnie, how many times are you going to lie to me? Keep things from me?" I was very taken aback by the swearing and Mikey's yelling, that I didn't know what to say, so Mikey stood up and left.

"Mikey, wait-" I called after him, but he slammed the door, leaving me in the storage cupboard alone. Not wanting to move, I wrapped the blanket around myself and cried. I hadn't meant to hurt or upset Mikey, I just wanted to help him.
