A/N Hope everyone has a safe and fun day. Thank you to those who put my story on alert and to my lone reviewer. Here's ch 2 for you.
Ch 2 A Terrible Night
Later that night things were going really badly for Mikey. The orange masked turtle couldn't sleep and kept waking up. He kept having visions of terrible things happening to Leo and Splinter. After the third time of waking up in a cold sweat Mikey looked at the clock which read 3:28 am. "Welp I'm not going to be able to sleep," Mikey thought as he threw back the covers and got out of bed. He opened his bedroom door, making sure he didn't make any noise. He could hear the light snoring coming from his brothers' rooms as he tiptoed past them and into the living room. "I need to get some air," he thought as he quietly opened the lair door and left, making sure he closed it quietly behind him. Mikey walked through the sewers for a bit before deciding to go to the surface. Mikey climbed the latter and slowly opened the manhole and peaked out. After making sure no one was around Mikey exited the sewers and headed for the nearest building and climbed up to the roof to look out at the city. After staring out at the city for a minute another uneasy feeling came over him. "Not again," Mikey muttered as he closed his eyes as an image went through his head.
*sounds of explosions and people screaming*
Smoke and rubble can be seen and fires is all throughout the city. People are running around terrified. A large Kraang in seen towering over the city laughing in victory. Smaller Kraang can be seen running throughout the city and capturing people. The Shell Raiser can be seen fleeing from the scene with April, Casey and the turtles inside. Donnie is tending to a gravely injured Leo.
"The Kraang take over the city?!" Mikey cried out. "And what's worse is that Leo gets really hurt in the process! Not good! I've gotta warn my bros!" With that Mikey began to head back to the sewers. But before he could he ran smack into a familiar person. Both Mikey and the person screamed in surprise.
"Mikey?!" Casey Jones cried out.
"Casey?!" Mikey cried out at the same time.
"What are you doing here?!" they both cried at the same time.
"Patrolling," they both said together.
"Couldn't sleep," Casey said. "So I figured I'd do some patrolling."
"Same here," Mikey said, his voice coming out very soft.
"You ok there Mikey?" Casey asked, looking at his friend with concern.
"Not really," Mikey said before he could stop himself. "I...I had a really bad nightmare and it really shook me."
"Wanna talk about it?" Casey asked. Mikey arched an eye ridge at his dark head friend, surprised at the offer as Casey wasn't one to wanna talk about problems. "Hey I can be sensitive too," Casey said, sounding a little annoyed.
"Yeah you and Raph are like super sensitive," Mikey said with a laugh.
"Geeze sorry for wantin' to help," Casey grumbled.
"Sorry dude," Mikey said, feeling bad that he had hurt Casey's feelings. "I'm just tired and freaked out."
"No worries," Casey said with a grin. "But seriously Mikey if ya wanna talk or somethin' I can be a good listener."
"I just wanna go home," Mikey said with a sigh. He looked up and saw the sun was rising. "I'll se ya later Casey," the youngest turtle said quickly as he jumped down the side of the roof and was gone.
"That was weird," Casey muttered, scratching his head. "Mikey was actin' real strange. I'll have to tell Raph later." With that Casey headed home hoping he'd make it home before his dad woke up.

A little while later Mikey was walking back to the lair. The freckled faced turtle had been thinking a lot about telling his brothers and Splinter what he had been experiencing. And the more he thought about it the more stupid it sound. "There's no way they'd believe me," Mikey thought as he reached the lair. "I can't tell them. They'd just laugh at me." Mikey opened the lair door and walked in, making sure he closed the door quietly. The orange masked turtle was hoping that his family was still asleep. But his hopes were quickly dashed when he heard someone call his name. Mikey let out a groan and turned and saw Leo standing there with Splinter right beside him. "Mikey where were you?" Leo asked.
"I uh had to get some air," Mikey said, closing the lair door. "I couldn't sleep."
"Mikey what's going on with you?" Leo asked, his voice full of concern. "You've been acting really strange ever since our training session yesterday."
"Yes Michelangelo I must agree I am concerned as well," Splinter said.
"You guys don't have to be worried," Mikey said with a grin. "I'm good. But I am really tired. I'm gonna get some sleep." With that Mikey began to walk away. But Leo grabbed his youngest brother's arm.
"Hold on there Mikey," the oldest turtle said. "I think we need to talk."
"Leo I'm so not in the mood for a talk," Mikey said, unable to keep the irritance out of his voice as he snatched his arm away.
"Mikey..." Leo began. But he was cut off by Mikey's furious shout.
"Leo I said I'm fine!" he shouted, startling both Leo and Splinter. "That should be good enough for you! So just leave me alone!" With that Mikey stomped off towards his room, brushing past Donnie and Raph, who were coming out to see what the shouting was about.
"What's with him?" Raph asked, pointing his thumb towards Mikey's retreating form. Seconds later Mikey's bedroom door slammed shut.
"I have no idea," Leo said, sounding both concerned and confused at the same time. The group stood there in silence for a few minutes. Then Raph's T-com beeped, startling the group.
"Yeah Casey," Raph said into his T-com. Then he listened for a few seconds. "Yeah he's home," Raph said. Then he listened for a few more seconds. "Yeah I know he's been actin' really weird," he said. "Yeah I will...Yeah ok...See ya." Raph snapped his T-com shut. Raph looked over at his family, who were staring at him in anticipation. "What?" Raph asked, sounding irritated.
"You know what Raph," Leo said, giving his directly younger brother a look. "That call was obviously about Mikey."
"Did something happen last night Raphael?" Splinter asked.
"Yeah sort of," Raph said. "Casey was all concerned 'bout Mikey. He said that Mikey was actin' all weird and crap. Like he was distracted 'bout somethin'."
"I wonder what's got Mikey so upset?" Donnie wondered.
"Casey said somethin' 'bout Mikey havin' a nightmare," Raph put in.
"Yeah but a nightmare wouldn't make Mikey shout at us like he just did," Leo pointed out.
"Its probably due to the lack of sleep," Donnie said. "That can make anyone cranky."
"True," Leo said. "But still..." But the oldest turtle didn't get a chance to finish when Splinter let out a small groan. The three turtles looked over and saw that Splinter had his eyes shut and was slightly bent over. "Master Splinter are you alright?" Leo asked, going over to Splinter with Donnie and Raph right behind him.
"Yes I am alright Leonardo," Splinter said softly as he opened his eyes. "I am sorry that..." But just then a really uneasy feeling came over the brown coated rat and he closed his eyes again.
"Sensei?" Leo asked. But then Splinter opened his eyes and let out a cry.
"No!" he cried out, startling his three sons. "Michelangelo!" Before anyone could say anything Splinter dashed out of the room and towards Mikey's room. Leo, Raph and Donnie exchanged looks of concern before following their father down the hallway all of them hoping Mikey was alright. But their hopes were soon dashed when they heard Mikey cry out in pure terror
