Tobias and Alyona entered the apartment with their duffle bags. He was still confused about Shredder's outburst. He knew that there were at least four other mutant turtles out there; his brothers. So, his employer and the brothers he didn't remember were enemies. He wasn't entirely sure how he felt about that.

The partners walked into the living room after dead bolting the apartment door. They tossed their bags onto the floor and Alyona flopped onto the couch.

"We were followed." She said.

"I noticed." Tobias replied, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms.

"Who followed you? Those neuklyuzhiy mutants outside?" A familiar voice asked. Tobias smiled as Andrei walked in from the hallway that led to the bedrooms. Tobias hadn't seen him in months. Since he'd saved the younger boy's life three years ago, the two had become as close as brothers. They clasped hands and drew each other into a hug, patting the other's back.

"It's good to see you, Andrei." Tobias said as they released each other.

"You too, Tobias. And you as well, Alyona." He answered, grinning at the two older mutants. Alyona smiled and stood up to hug him.

"Same, Andrei. And yes, those neuklyuzhiy mutants outside. They work for our employer. Apparently, he does not trust us. I do not blame him, but the least he could have done is send someone who does not lumber around like a blind bear." She told him as she sat down on the couch with Tobias who had moved there from the wall. Andrei pulled up a chair and the three began talking; Alyona and Tobias filling Andrei in on recent happenings in the Cult while he told them as much as he could about their employer and those he worked with. To keep it private from their possible eavesdroppers, they kept to Russian. After all, it was a safe bet that the two mutants didn't know any Russian.

**************LINE BREAK***************

Fishface and Rahzar watched the mercs enter the apartment. They moved to the alley and over to the window. They could hear the mercenaries and another person talking inside. They both cringed when the mutants and the new person mentioned being followed by them. Then, the language they spoke changed and the eavesdroppers no longer knew what was being said.

"Bah! This is pointless." Rahzar growled in frustration. "We did as asked. I say we go back."

Fishface nodded in agreement, for once, and they began to make their way back to the Shredder's citadel.

*************LINE BREAK************

Tobias entered his room, tossing his two bags at the base of his bed. He lay down without bothering to undress. He was too exhausted. The second his head hit the bed, he was out cold. Tobias would've loved to sink into a dreamless sleep, but his subconscious had other plans. Within minutes of his head hitting the pillow, the dream began. Actually, memory might be a better word for it. He found himself in some sort of old subway station and he knew he'd been there before. He was once again a toddler, wearing his brown mask as it was meant to be worn. He lay on his back on the concrete floor, head hanging over the back of a….bench? A TV was flickering before him and he found another mutant splayed out on a bean bag. He was the same age as dream Tobias, with lighter green skin, light blue eyes and an orange mask. Instantly, Tobias knew his name; Michelangelo. Or Mikey, as they'd always called him.

"Think we'll ever get to see top side?" Mikey asked in a deeply serious tone Tobias knew was not normal for him.

"Yeah, I think so. Why you askin'?" he answered, but it was as if they'd already had this conversation. Hence it being more like a memory.

Mikey shrugged in reply. "Just somethin' I been thinkin' about. If we do go topside one day, you gonna stick by me. Right Mozzy?"

"You bet Mikey." He answered, reaching out a fist to him. Mikey grinned and bumped it with his own, ending the 'memory' and sending Tobias back into a dreamless sleep.

***************LINE BREAK AGAIN************

Mikey snapped awake from his weird dream. Weird because it had been so normal compared to all his other dreams, even if they had 'normaled out' since Leo's disappearance. Added to that fact, he was certain the other turtle had been, and still was, very real. But how was that possible? There were only four mutant turtles, five if you counted Slash. The one from his dream hadn't been any of them. What was his name? Mozzy? He remembered once having an imaginary friend named that and how it had been another mutant turtle. Which meant…he wasn't actually sure, but things made a bit more sense. With that, he smiled and turned over to fall asleep once more.


Neuklyuzhiy- Clumsy

Sorry for the short chapter guys. I've been busy all last week and most of this week so I haven't been able to write much. I'll try to get some done soon, but no promises.
