Not from the future? Julie could barely comprehend the words, it didn't make sense it made the whole world blur and mix like reality in a blender.
"Well not from yours anyway" April added. Julie felt sick that meant that she had no defense she had slept with a stranger, it still didn't seem right to her though.
April , Leo and Raph then took turns in telling an awful tale. It started with her own appearance involving a flash of blue light, April had begun researching the method of time travel the very same day. At this point April added they really did think that she was from their past, how could they not I walked, talked, looked and acted like a long lost friend.
Raph skipped ahead to the battle with Shredder, the one she had caught a glimpse of before her own turtles had brought her back, amateurs he added but that would come in later.
After the battle something changed in Michelangelo there is only so much on person can take, he was depressed at losing his love twice, when she had shown up at the battle he had assumed that she wanted to stay with him, that she loved him.
"And that's when I came clean" Raph said , Julies eyes automatically shot to Mikey as Raph told about their affair, it wasn't her but she still felt guilty.
Her Raph seemed shocked and embarrassed and a million other things, she knew that feeling all to well its when you find out that "you" have done something unthinkable.
"He snapped" April said bringing her back to the present " Stole my research and when that didn't pan out he went on a mission, with the Shredder gone archives of information were unlocked and he sealed himself inside and poured through the endless mountain of papers and disks from dawn till dusk"
That rung a bell somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Leo continued on about how Michelangelo discovered that Julie was not really from his past but from the past of a different dimension, one very similar to theirs.
"It made him happy" Leo said with a hint of sadness " He came to me so excited, after what Raph had told him he was more than thrilled to find that their was a different version of Julie, one that hadn't done those things to him".
Leo explained how Michelangelo had researched the time travel and dimensional shift processes and how he planned to come back and take you away.
" He had even said that because of the people in your dimension you might already know he was coming" Leo said " Have you been having any dreams?"
She nodded numbly remembering a certain dream where she had been shot in the back and then had been searching for something, it had felt foreign and now she knew why, she hadn't been seeing through her own eyes.
"It seems" April said " That when they pulled you back you may have damaged her mind slightly, I'm afraid your dreams are more like leaks from different realities, other dimensions"
"How do I stop them" She asked faintly
"You can't" April said with finality " But you can learn to control them, with practice you may even be able to tune in your own dimension"
"Enough with the dreams" The younger Raph said gruffly " Did psycho Mikey make it back or not"
His future self chuckled " No we came for the sight seein'" He said sarcastically " Who do you think set fire to your lair?"
The rest of the conversation passed Julie by she stumbled off to the bathroom to try and collect herself. When she was ready she wandered back out bumping into someone on the way, it was Mikey.
She wanted to talk to him but his face was still stony cold and angry.
"Seems you can't keep your legs closed in any dimension" He said sourly before pushing past her, it stung but she couldn't blame him for it she had hurt him and he was just doing the same.
She slunk off to April's spare bedroom and flopped down in the bed and had herself a good cry.
When Mikey surfaced from the bathroom there was a very angry looking one eyed Raph waiting for him on the other side " You an' me gotta talk" Raph said grabbing him by the arm and taking him outside.
"What do you want?" Mikey asked his voice had a biting tone.
"You need ta pull your head outta ya ass" Raph said matching his tone easily.
"What you banged her dimensional twin behind your brother back so now she's your business eh" Mikey fired back, he knew exactly what this was about.
"Yeah" Raph said " You are a fucking idiot, I risked everything for her, my life my family, my brother loved her so much it made him crazy and here you are ready to toss her out like yesterdays trash"
"She's a slut" He yelled back starting to lose him temper.
Raph looked at him for a moment and then gave him a force back hand which sent Mikey sprawling to the ground.
"You don't say that" Raph said sternly " Now if you know what's good for ya you'll stay down and listen"
Raph then launched into a stern lecture involving confusion and love, it was very unlike the Raph Mikey knew.
The lecture then turned into a story, telling Mikey about the events of the roof top after he had left, he was stunned to say the least.
By the end of the story Raph's tone was almost a scream.
"You have her more than any of us ever had and you just left her there, she married my brother and I wouldn't have left her there, she had in an affair and my brother pulled his way into a different dimension just to see her"
He paused for a breath before point a finger at Mikey and yelling " You don't fucking deserve her" And with that he stormed off leaving Mikey confused and guilty on the roof.
After a few moments things began to sink in and he headed back inside he walked quietly up to the spare bedroom and peaked in, Julie was still face down on the bed but she had stopped crying.
He crept in quietly and laid down next to her, she turned her head and smiled weakly seeing it was him.
"Hey baby" He whispered brushing her hair back.
Outside the door an old one eyed turtle turned and walked back down the hall smiling to himself, Mikey had always be a little stubborn about things but it was never anything a good screaming lecture couldn't fix.
