A/N: hey guys! It is that time again for another new update! Now I just wanna say I'm on spring break until Tuesday...the same day as the next update...imagine that. Anyway, I just want to wish everyone a happy Easter since I don't update on Sundays so yea! Anyway, lets get to the lovely reviewer!

Midnight: well I'm glad you started reading my story! Also yea Donnie has no idea how much he's hurting his brothers. Also he's kind of the antagonist so he's not thinking he's hurting his brother just as much as they hurt him. You aren't looking too much into it...you're only stating your opinion and view on the story and I can use that to help improve my story. Also, I'm sorry the Q/A is taking so long...I'm hoping to have that up as soon as I can.

Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter and there is gonna be more action soon enough so just stay with it. Again, happy Easter everyone!:)

I own nothing of TMNT

Donnie's P.O.V.

I was once again on the rooftop as I stared out at the city. It's cloudy today, but it isn't windy...good I wasn't really looking forward to a sunny day. Eh...I've been cooped up in my house ever since my confrontation with Rahzar...I think I'll get some fresh air tonight.

Hopefully after what I did to Rahzar, they will leave me alone about recruiting me into their pathetic little clan. But knowing them, they won't leave me alone in general. Oh well I can just show them why they shouldn't mess with me.

"Um...Donnie?"

I jumped, startled, and turned to see Shini was behind me. Honestly, she needs a bell! Also...wait...I haven't seen her since the argument we had. Was she really mad at me or was she too busy? Honestly, I'm glad she's here so we can try to talk this out. However, I had to force back a smile and narrowed my eyes at her. I didn't want her to know I'm happy to see her.

"So, you finally decided to come in see me after a few days? Were you really that upset with me?" I crossed my arms.

She shakes her head. "I meant to come and see you, but...somethings came up. Especially when Slash was watching me. I think he might be catching on on why I occasionally and randomly leave."

"So how did you get out this time?"

She shrugs. "No one really slept well last night so they all took a nap."

"And what about you?"

"Eh...I slept fine. Even if I didn't, I'm used to all nighters."

I narrowed my eyes at her. "So...the only way you'll be able to see me now, is to sneak out?"

She shakes her head. "No, it isn't. Just because Slash suspects something, doesn't mean anything. I could simply lie and tell him I have to go work on witchcraft or something. Like I said, I haven't been seeing you because other things happened."

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh yea, like what?"

She closes her eyes and takes a breath. "Now, I know you hate it when I talk about your brothers," I glared at her, but let her continue. "But when we patrolled with Leonardo and Raphael a few days ago, they were acting...strange."

I just stared at her with the same glare.

"They were acting like they ran into a bit of trouble. That same night, I had a weird sense that something was wrong. I sensed someone was in a fight...and not with the foot bots or purple dragons either. No...I feel that it might've been Shredder's puppets."

I huffed. "So my two older 'brothers' got in a fight with some of Shredder's goons. What's the big deal?"

"I don't know if you know this Donnie, but none of us have seen them in a while. They could be up to something big...really big. Maybe it's trying to recruit you or even mind control you."

I laughed at her last sentence. "Mind control me? Seriously? Have you forgotten I'm the smart one? It only happens to the weak minded, Shini!"

She glares at me as she crosses her arms. "So I'm assuming Slash, Rockwell, Raph, and Karai are weak minded then?"

"Well Raph definitely is. He's a stupid hot head after all. He never thinks rationally and thinks yelling at everyone is the answer."

"Donnie," she grabs my hand. "Just listen, I'm only telling you what I know. If I'm right, they could be going after you."

I yanked my arm out of her grip, and then remember something she said.

"Wait a minute...how long ago did you say this was?"

"It was the same day as the argument so...3 days ago."

My eyes widen slightly. "Well...then you're right. They are back."

"What?"

"I had a little run in with Rahzar...but of course I beat him up."

Her eyes widen. "What?! What exactly did he say to you before you fought him?"

I shrug. "Oh just something about capturing me."

"Oh, and you're saying they won't mind control you?! Listen to yourself, Donnie! If you somehow did get captured, who knows what they could've done!"

"But they didn't," I tell her nonchalantly. "That's the thing."

She face palms. "I really don't know what to say to you anymore. But like I said, I'm only warning you!"

I throw my hands up in defense. "Fine, whatever," then I looked at her in the eye. "By the way, did you keep your word and not tell anyone where I am."

She did the same thing and looked at me straight in the eye.

"I didn't tell anyone, I promise. But like I said, I can't keep this secret forever. You're gonna have to talk to them eventually."

"Tsk."

She sighs. "Just remember what I told you."

I didn't say anything. As she went to leave, I grabbed her arm. She looked back at me a bit surprised, and I sighed.

"Stay. We can just sit out here and talk for a bit...you know, like good friends."

She stared at me before giving a small smile and nodding.

"Sure."

We sat at the edge of the building and began talking about different things. For the first time in a while, I feel like my old self again...however, I know it won't last long.

No one's P.O.V.

Mikey sat on the couch as his two older brothers were once again arguing. This time, Leo was yelling at Raph about how he should take his training more seriously...just like him. The only reason why he didn't include Mikey, is because he isn't entirely training with them since he is still trying to get back in the training mojo himself.

Mikey could pretend his injury was giving him trouble, but he's done it a significant amount of times, that it's to the point where Leo and Raph can tell when he's faking it.

"Lately you've slacking on your training! How could you not take it seriously?!"

"Oh come on Fearless! You can't expect me to be training exactly like you!"

"It isn't the fact that you aren't training like me! It's the fact that you're putting zero effort into training at all!"

"Do you really need glasses, Fearless! I have been training!" Raph's attention went to Mikey. "Mikey, haven't I been training?!"

Mikey groaned and wondered why he was being dragged into this argument. The bad part was the fact that Donnie wasn't here to complain with him.

"I really don't want to be dragged into this!"

He expected Raph to push further, but his attention went back to Leo.

"Listen Fearless, I don't get why you're even arguing about this with me! If it's my training then let me do what I want!"

Leo growled. "Raph, I'm warning you!"

"Warn me about what?! That I'm not-?!"

"What is going on in here?!" the voice of their father came and everyone looked over to see him walking in the room. "I can hardly meditate with you two yelling!"

"Sensei, can you please tell Raph that he needs to take his training more seriously?!"

"Can you tell Leo to take calm down about the stupid training?!"

"Raph-!"

"Enough!" Splinter got in between his 2 sons before looking at Leo. "Leonardo, may I speak with you for a moment?"

"What?! How come I have to-?!" the look on Splinter's face made the oldest brother sigh. "Hai Sensei."

Splinter and Leo went into the dojo. Meanwhile, the 2 remaining brothers watched as they disappeared from their sight. When that happened, Raph turned and gave Mikey a slight glare.

"What?" Mikey asked.

"Not wanting to be dragged into it Mikey?"

"Oh come on bro! You usually never drag me into your arguments...so why this one?"

He sighs. "I just want that idiot to see that I'm not like him and I'm never gonna be him!"

"So you used me as some kind of outside source?"

"I really don't know what to think right now!" Raph collapsed on the couch. "Besides, with everything going on right now, I doubt my training goes on the top of the list for people to worry about."

"Well...yea, but still. I have to agree with Leo a little...you have been slacking just a little bit."

Raph stared at Mikey, and just when Mikey thought he was gonna get yelled at, all Raph did was sigh.

"A lot's been on my mind lately, you know?"

Mikey knew exactly what he was talking about, but he preferred not to say it.

"Yea it's been stressful, but still."

Raph rolled his eyes. "Yea yea I get it."

He took a quick glance at Mikey's fading star before looking back towards the dojo.

"I wonder what Sensei and Fearless are talking about in there."

Mikey shrugged for an answer, having the gut feeling he might have an idea of what they're talking about.
