Chapter Thirteen

Normal (3rd person) POV

His stomach was gurgling, his mind spinning. Leonardo, Donatello… Where were they? Were they safe? Splinter hoped so. He really, really hoped so. He sighed and looked down into the eyes of the child in his arms.

"Let us hope your father has not gotten into any trouble." Splinter sighed.

The small child, Bonnie, opened her eyes and looked up at him. She truly was her father's daughter; her eyes mimicked her father's so well. Splinter smiled weakly and squeezed the infant's hand. It felt like only yesterday he were doing this with Leonardo…

Chapter Fourteen

Normal (3rd person) POV

"Jasper, ple~ase," Mikey whined from the lounge.

But the child's wails prevailed.

"Raph, come on, just pick him up!"

Grudgingly, Raphael got up from where he sat and picked the demanding child up, "Yeh'd think he was your kid or something."

Mikey rolled his eyes and let out a sigh, "So, what do you… Wh-What do you thinks up with his dad, anyway? I mean, I just…"

"I dunno, Mikey. I dunno."

"I… I hope they're okay." Mikey murmured.

Raphael felt his shoulders drop and he turned his head to face the orange clad turtle. There was no hint of a smile and the space between Michelangelo's eyes was creased with worry.

"Mikey, don't… Don't looks serious, 'kay? They're fine. They'll be fine."

"But what if they're in trouble? What if they need us? How are we supposed to find them?"

"I don't…" Raphael let out a huff of angry air, "I don't know, Mikey. We just… I dunno."

Splinter, having heard the topic, approached the lounge, "Things will work out, my son."

Mikey jumped, shocked from his father's sudden appearance, before calming down and turning to face Splinter.

"How can you be sure?" Mikey asked glumly.

"Because there is something I have discovered over my years, Michelangelo; life has a way of sorting itself out." Splinter replied softly.

"So, we're just supposed to sit here and wait for that to happen? I mean, it could be years 'til then! Donnie and Leo could be dead before then!" Mikey said.

"It is the only option we have as of the moment." Splinter replied, heaving a sigh, "Hopefully, we will find them before the worst comes to past."

As Splinter exited the room to aid Bonnie, who had started crying, Raphael shot his younger brother a glare.
"Mikey, I don't eva wanna hear ya speakin' like dat again. Got it?"

"R-Right… Sorry…"

"I need ta pee, Jasper. I need ta go to the bathroom. I'll be right back."

The young child's bottom lip continued to quiver.

"Dammit, Jasper, I'll be one damn minute!"

Jasper let out a whine.

"No, no! No, don't you damn bloody start!"

Wa~ah!

"Ugh! Whiney lil' brat! Just 'cause you can pee wherever! I don' have a diaper! I need ta use tha' bathroom!"

Snicker.

Raphael spun, furious, to see Michelangelo.

"Oh, shuddup!" Raphael spat, storming off to the bathroom, no longer caring that he was leaving Jasper, teary eyed, behind, "Have fun with the damn kid."

Mikey's humour disappeared as he spun to face Jasper, who had tears streaming down his face and boogers mixed into the mess. The child waved his arms around frantically as he wailed.

Click.

Donatello looked up to the now-opened door and felt relief wash over him. Leonardo gave him a weak smile, "Hey."

"What's going on?" Donnie asked, standing up, "Where are we? How-,"

"Calm down, Don. Everything's fine. Everything's okay." Leonardo told him, adding, "We're not in danger."

"I figured that much."

He looked to Leonardo expectantly. The blue clad ninja heaved a sigh and the two sat down. He told his purple clad brother what he knew: about Viridania, the mystical not-supposed-to-be-real creatures, the café. Somehow, he managed to keep Nicholas out of the conversation. Donatello could feel his head reeling. Another planet was not, well, ground-breaking. They had been in outer space before. Shell, they had even time travelled, that one time. The pixies, and Pegasus and magic-creatures – that was all new.

"So… So, you saw one? A Pegasus?" Donatello asked.

Leo nodded.

Donnie shook his head and let out a small sigh, smiling weakly, "In Greek mythology, there was only one Pegasus in existence."

"Well, Nicholas told me that they don't really call them Pegasi here. That that's what they're called in English. They speak… 'Kunzalian' or something, here." Leonardo explained.

"Ah." Donnie said, rubbing the back of his neck, "So, um, do you know what they are called? In Kunzalian, I mean?"
"I think it was 'Pel-sore-ray' or something." Leonardo replied, "Yeah, actually – Pelsorae sounds right."

"Hm." Donnie felt the urge to ask why they were here but realised that Leonardo obviously did not know, otherwise he would have told him by now…. "… I, uh, hope Splinter isn't worried. D-Did you get to call him or something?"

"We wouldn't get reception from here."
"Oh, right." The purple clad genius sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Do you think they would have Panadol here? My heads aching."

"They do – sort of – but, uh, we can't leave yet. We haft to wait for Nicholas – he said he'd only be a minute." Leonardo replied.

"Oh. Hey, so, what does he look like, anyway? I'm guessing he's not human, given the circumstances." Donnie said.

Leonardo felt his heart drop and his gut squeeze. He had been hoping for Nicholas to enter before Donatello asked him a question where he would need to explain the whole 'not-actually-mutants'-situation

"Oh… Um, well, about that…." Leonardo let out a sigh, "The thing is, Donnie…"
