Raph rubbed his eyes, Leo had insisted that they rest, a ton, before beginning training again. He looked over at the cot next to him. Leo was also making both of them sleep in the lab, in case Donnie needed to do anything random.

"Still awake?" Donnie asked.

"Yeah." Raph replied, "I can't sleep for more than nine hours at a time Donnie, I wish Leo would just let us train."

"I know what you mean." Donnie responded, "I really feel like battle training for some reason."

"Heh," Raph said, "maybe you ain't a lost cause little bro."
"Ha ha" Donnie replied, "I still love science stuff too." Raph shrugged.

"Who knows, maybe you'll grow out of it." he joked, but they all knew Donnie would always be the smart one.

"Hey bro's!" Mikey said, barging in with a bowl of soup in each hand, "want some soup?" Raph's stomach churned at the thought of eating more than he'd already been forced to.

"That would be the fifth bowl," he pointed out, "do you want me to explode?"

"Well, no." Mikey said, his face falling, and raph realised it had been a stupid thing to say.

"I'm sorry." he said, "but I really can't eat anymore."

"Me either." Donnie declared, "you've stuffed us Mikey."

"Kinda like my iguana." Mikey suggested, "with the monocle" he pronounced the word, 'mon-akle' and Raph rolled his eyes.

"Monocle." he corrected, Mikey shrugged.

"Whatever." he said, "hey guys, April's coming over, do you think you're up for it?" they both sat straight up, finally, something that wasn't sitting around all day.

"Absolutely!" they said in unison. Mikey looked a little creeped out by that, but grinned.

"Then get yo' shell outta bed bro's!" he said, "Leo say's you can." he added. Raph and Donnie climbed out of the cots and followed Mikey into the living room. April was already there.

"Hey guys." she said, looking sheepish, "you ok?"

"Fine!" Raph assured her, "absolutely,"

"Spiffy!" Donnie finished, April exchanged a glance with Leo who shrugged.

"So Raph." Casey said, leaning on the wall, "got all your particles replaced?" Raph rolled his eyes.

"I don't need them replaced." he said, "she didn't erase any, that I know of, she just split them apart and back together, like radio waves." all of them but Donnie looked really confused, but he ignored it, if they didn't care it wasn't his problem.

"Yeah." Donnie said, "we're perfectly,"

"Fine." raph finished. donnie laughed.

"You need to stop doing that." don said, "are you psychic too?"

"No." raph said, "I think." Donnie shrugged.

"I'll look into it later." he said, "right now we can chillax!"

"Nice." raph said, "anyone up for a mega video game off?"

"Yeah bro!" Mikey said, running for the controls, "I can hook up two game consoles so we can all battle!" leo shrugged.

"Sounds fun to me." he says, "teams?"

"I call donnie!" Raph shouted, plopping next to his brother on the couch,

"we'll cream you guys!" donnie exclaimed, fist bumping raph.

"I call leo then!" Mikey said, while he was busy untangling wires. Casey shrugged.

"Guess it's you and me red." he said, april smiled.

"Ok." she said, sitting on the couch next to him, usually, donnie would look at this arrangement suspiciously, but he doesn't.

"Three teams of two then!" Mikey said happily, "this is gonna be great!" after ten minutes of mikey, raph and donnie trying to get the consoles plugged in, it was ready. Roah gripped his controller tightly, and glanced at donnie,he was smirking.

"This'll be a cinch." he said, raph nodded. Mikey started the game and Raph quickly surveyed the arena, he was across the arena from donnie, but that was ok. They seemed to know exactly what the other was going to do, and did something to compliment that. Donnie ran at Leo. Raph ran at Mikey. Casey and April teamed up against the two of them, as they made it clear that they were being complete warlords. While the others shouted at each other about what they were doing, Raph and Donnie stayed silent, giving them a huge advantage. The others kept shooting startled looks in their direction, only to see them with narrowed eyes, seemingly concentrated on the game, none of them picked up any signals they might have sent to each other. It wasn't soon until they won.

"Yeah!" Raph shouted, high three donnie, "we creamed em!"

"I told you we would." Donnie said, "that was awesome!"

"How did you do that?" Mikey asked, staring at them, "you didn't even talk to each other!" Raph and Donnie exchanged a confused glance.

"I dunno, I guess we just, knew what we were doing." Raph said, shrugging. Donnie nodded.

"Maybe we're such good ninja's we don't need to talk." he said, and High threed raph.

"You guys, annoy me." Mikey said, "as of today." the others murmured agreement.

"What?" Raph said, getting defensive, "it's just a game anyway, come on donnie, if these guys are gonna be dip wads about it we don't have to stick around." Donnie followed him without a second glance.

"Uh, was that weird to any of you?" Mikey asked as they closed the doors to the lab. Raph leaned against the table and donnie sat at his computer.

"What is up with those guys?" he said angrily, "it's not like we, i dunno,"

"Changed?" donnie asked, "I think they do think that."

"Oh," Raph reflected back on the past days, "Wow, we did change!" Donnie nodded.

"I was just going with it." he said "but think, I have to admit we've changed a bit." Raph grinned.

"This is so cool, it's like," he searched for words, "when april put us back together we mixed!"

"Exactly." Donnie said, "now we each have a bit of each other's personality and skill." Raph nodded, an idea forming in his mind.

"I just got a great idea!" he exclaimed,

"What," donnie said, "totally psych the guys out by taking full advantage of this? I like it." Raph grinned.

"So, we also have a,"

"Telepathic link?" Donnie asked, "seems like it." Raph grinned.

"This is so cool." he said, Donnie nodded.

"Plus, since we have a telepathic link and stuff, you can help me with this experiment!" raph shrugged.

"Why not?" Raph turned to his younger brothers desk and helped him with his work.

Leo looked in the lab and stared, Raph was helping Donnie, with an experiment.

"Ok, put that mutagen in the beaker raph." Donnie instructed, Raph rolled his eyes.

"I know you dummy." Leo frowned, how did raph know?

"I just like messing with you." Donnie laughed, "sorry." leo narrowed his eyes, what was going on? He stepped inside.

"Raph, could i talk to you?" he asked, both his younger brothers looked over.

"What is it leo?" donnie asked, leo gestured for raph to come over to him.

"Raph." he repeated. "can i talk to you?" the two looked at each other.

"Why not both of us?" Raph asked, leo raised his eye ridge and raph sighed. "Be right back donnie." he sighed. He walked over to leo. "What do you want fearless?" leo looked at his younger brother in concern, his mask, after a few days, was still maroon, donnie's was too. And his eyes...they were a darker shade of green.

"Are you and don ok?" he asked, Raph rolled his eyes.

"We're fine!" he snapped, "what's up leo?"

"Ok," leo said, and frowned. "Raph, are you ok, just you?" Raph looked at him.

"What the shell kind of question is that?" raph snapped, "don and i are busy leo, maybe you should go meditate or something!" he turned his back and leo watched his brother walk away, something's not right. He thought to himself, but what?
