EPILOGUE
Revenge
Leonardo sprawled back onto the cushions. He ached all over thanks to his impromptu flight into a shipping container, but he knew the wounds would heal. Their enemies were still out there, but they had successfully foiled their latest evil scheme and the city, for the moment, was safe.
They had earned a few days to rest and recover, before the training would commence for the battle he knew was looming on the horizon. But that wasn't a fight for today. For today, he could be satisfied with a job well done. Ok it hadn't been perfect, but he gave it a 9.95.
"Looks like Donnie's finally got his head straight." Raphael commented, as he lazily watched the turtle heading for his laboratory with April. The two were having an animated discussion about scientific gibberish.
"I guess we just weren't hitting him hard enough." he then joked. "I'll have to remember that it's gotta be a real wallop to sink in."
"Yeah, try not to shake any more of his screws loose." Leo smirked, cumbersomely rolling over to rest on his other side, so he could see his brother.
Raph grinned, then sat up slightly. "Mikeeeey…" he called, his voice changing to uncharacteristic wheedling.
The youngest turtle hurried over from the pinball game.
"Get me a drink." implored Raphael.
Mikey frowned uncertainly. "Dude, why should I get you a drink?"
Raphael moaned and wrapped his arms around himself. "Ohh… My stomach…"
"Ok, ok! I'll get you a drink!"
As Michelangelo hurried off, Leonardo rolled his eyes.
"How long are you planning on keeping that up?" he asked.
"I dunno yet." Raph said, reclining and putting his hands behind his head. "At least a week."
Leo chuckled slightly. From his vantage point, he saw Mikey returning from the kitchen a few minutes later with arms laden. Raph, engrossed in a magazine, remained blissfully oblivious of the youngest turtle's approach.
Pressing his lips together in an effort not to give the game away by laughing, Leonardo watched in amused anticipation as Michelangelo crept closer to Raphael and positioned himself just out of sight behind his currently ignorant brother.
"Here's your drink, bro!" Mikey suddenly announced, as in one swift movement he dropped the armful of water balloons right onto Raph's head.
Leo burst into laughter, as Raph shrieked in surprise.
"MIKEY!"
