Donatello's Logs: Observing Michaelangelo's Behavior

Log 5) Day eleven

Mikey woke up with his fever gone, and no memory of yesterday. So waking up with Leo lying next to him….Didn't go so well on both parts.

Let's just say he avoided Leo the rest of the day.

Log 6) Day twelve

Today Leo and I again attempted to get Mikey back to his old habits; unfortunately, it seems the Shredder had tried hard to destroy ever aspect of Mikey's personality.

I offered him a comic, Mikey said comics were stupid (He opted for Manga instead; apparently a new habit he picked up from being in Japan). Leo tried to give him a bag of potato chips and Mikey again gave him a junk food lecture. We turned on cartoons, and he completely ignored them. I think the only habit that stayed was his love of Rap music (but he doesn't play it loudly on a stereo anymore, he listens to them on headphones, mostly to ignore us though) and skateboarding, but then again that might be because the Shredder didn't know that Mikey skateboarded.

Mikey is still avoiding Leo; he's using me as a shield, hiding behind me as soon as Leo gets close enough. Is he afraid of Leo now? I just hope it's a sign that Mikey's warming up to me, he stopped glaring at me to say the least.

Log 7) Day thirteen

Today I brought Mikey with me to the dump since he was getting twitchy being in the lair all the time; I was a little weary because I was afraid he would escape, so I had to bring Leo with me to chaperone him, I don't Mikey appreciated it.

While I was sifting through the dump, Mikey was grinding around on his skateboard; he was having fun doing it to, it was like having the old Mikey back. In fact, his eyes were blue; Karai told me that for some reason his eyes shift with his personality, scientifically his eye color should have nothing to do with his personality, but if it can help us see which personality he is then I won't complain.

I was pulled aside by someone when Leo and Mikey weren't looking; it was Raph!

He was covered in bruised and he looked really tired. I got him to tell me the reason behind his intense training; he was trying to catch up to Mikey since Mikey was now ahead of us from his own year-long training with the Shredder (But I don't think that's the whole truth, Raph was training for another reason). He also admitted that Mikey tried to force himself onto him, but had decided not to at the last minute.

This surprised me; Mikey tried to do that to Raph! Okay, now I know the Shredder went too far!

In exchange, I told Raph that we had captured Mikey and were trying to get him back to normal; Raph looked a little happier when he saw Mikey being a bit more like his old self, but he was glaring at Leo; Master Splinter said that Raph loved Mikey, was he feeling jealous?

He isn't the only one.

Log 8) Day fourteen

Leo gave Mikey his weapons back today, but we all watched him like a hawk in the fear that he would try something funny. I asked Mikey why he didn't use his nunchucks anymore, he looked mad but he told me that the Foot elite broke them and the Shredder replaced them with chigiriki since they were a great deal alike.

I decided that I would be more careful when asking him questions.

I really do think Mikey is warming us to us; he was helping me with an invention today and out of nowhere he gave me a hug and told me had really had missed me while he was gone. I sure hope that he meant that and it wasn't another withdrawal mood-swing.

Leo, Mikey and I also meditated with Master Splinter. Master Splinter told him that meditating could help with his shattered mind. It was kind of disturbing how Mikey was completely still and was actually into it; in the past he couldn't keep still longer than two minutes unless if it was important, I've never seen him so focused.

Log 9) Day fifteen

Mikey had a conscious episode today; I think it was about the day we 'found' him, he again thought that Leo was Karai, but he thought I was Raph.

He attacked me! The same way he'd attacked Raph that day, he even threw me at the wall with his chigiriki; I really wish I would have paid attention to that fight, and that we hadn't give him his weapons back.

Luckily Leo pulled him away before he could do any serious damage. He held onto him tightly until Mikey's rage subsided and he was back to reality. I'm scared about how violent he would get if I didn't sedate the food he did eat.

Mikey then started crying into Leo's plastron thinking he was Karai; Leo took him to the Hallway. It probably wasn't my best idea, but I followed and watched what was going on.

Mikey kept crying, and Leo was hugging him in an attempt to calm him down. He then did something surprising; he told Mikey he wasn't Karai. That brought him back to reality and he tried to get away from Leo but Leo wouldn't let go.

The more surprising he told Mikey to look at him; which he did, then Leo did the most surprising thing ever. He told Mikey he loved him and kissed him.

Next chapter is normal story!

And by the way, Raph has another motive in his training besides catching up to Mikey.
