I got an idea for Dark Leo and Dark Mikey time! :D But the turtles and the other two Dark Turtles are mixed in... -_- Why can't I get an idea with JUST them? No wait... nevermind...
Dark Mike stumbled, causing Dark Leo to freeze. "Mike?"
"Oooh I don't feel so good..." he groaned, before tumbling forward.
"MIKE!"
XxXxX
"Who could be knocking at THIS abysmal hour?" Serling muttered, going to open the door. Michelangelo, who had been unable to sleep, beat him to it though.
"Whoa!"
"Help him... Please." Serling's eyes almost shot off his head when two turtles walked in.
"TWO more turtles? I wasn't designed for this..." the robot moaned.
"You just sit down Robby, I'll go get Cody."
"The name is Serling!" the robot snapped, though he did sit down. Dark Leo fidgeted, agitated as he held his unconscious brother. His brother was possibly sick sure, but he was also pretty goddamned heavy... Cody ran into the room with Mikey.
"Bring him to the lab! We'll get the autodocs on him and they should be able to help." Dark Leo nodded and followed. He remembered how to get to the lab easily enough...
XxXxX
Raph was not having a good day. He'd been having a lovely dream, but then someone had woken him up. And it was two in the freaking morning. Next, he found that two of the Dark Turtles were in the penthouse as guests, and neither had a force field around them.
So now he was in an argument with Leo, rather than back in bed or guarding the Dark Turtles. And it was only two twenty. "Leo this could be another trick!"
"Raph, Dark Mike is clearly sick!"
"Who's brilliant idea was it to let them in anyway?" snarled Raph, clearly not listening.
"Mikey-"
"MIKEY!"
"Leave him out of this Raph-!"
XxXxX
Dark Leo could hear the eldest two fighting. Of course, he didn't particularly care... What mattered was that Dark Mike was waking up. "Oooh my head..." he groaned, sitting up and putting a hand to his head.
"Easy there Mikey..."
"Did someone call my melodious name?" asked Mikey, poking his head into the room. Dark Leo rolled his eyes.
"No, get out." Mikey chortled as he came in and leapt onto a seat.
"Nah, I wanna talk to you!"
"I thought you were scared of us," said Dark Mike. "And don't you dare bring up a superhero comparison."
"Yeah well you dudes are sorta intimidating. And I wasn't going to bring one up!" Mikey protested. "I wanted to know if you guys have been offered food yet or if Serling's still out of it." Dark Leo shook his head.
"I don't need anything."
"Uh, dude? Weren't you the one who said you eat food when you can get it or else you starve? I'll grab something for you guys." Dark Leo gave an annoyed growl, and as soon as Mikey was out of the room, Dark Mike tapped Dark Leo's shoulder.
"What?"
"If you don't like being here, and if you don't like dealing with the turtles... Why are we here? And why am I on a cot like some invalid?" Dark Leo gave a raspy laugh.
"Because you ARE an invalid. For now at least." Mikey sprang into the room with a tray of rather... foreign items.
"Snackaroos while we wait for Donnie to get past Serling and into Cody's room to wake him up so we can have breakfast!" Dark Leo prevented Dark Mike from grabbing the first thing in range.
"Is anything on here even vaguely healthy?" he asked, looking at the items suspiciously.
"Dude, it's a whole range of-"
"Leo you aren't usually interested in whether or not something's healthy, why now?" Dark Leo grinned.
"Because, I'm not worried about it for ME. You get to be my test subject for how bad withdrawal from the junk we like eating is." Dark Mike's eyes widened.
"No! You can't do this to me!"
"Can and will."
"Dude, this is HEALTHY junk," said Mikey, giving Dark Mikey a wink when Dark Leo wasn't looking. "Seriously, this stuff is uber good for you! It is food from heaven!"
"Your definition of healthy is questionable," said Dark Leo, sounding like his counterpart for a moment as he crossed his arms. Mikey gave a semi-exasperated sigh.
"Wait here a moment dude... And don't you DARE touch anything Canary breath." Dark Leo couldn't help but chuckle at his brother's flabbergasted expression.
"Canary breath... I just might have to use that in the future."
"Don't you dare," growled Dark Mikey, before coughing. Dark Leo passed the yellow turtle a glass of water and watched him swallow the liquid.
"Is your throat dry?" Dark Mike shrugged.
"A little," he admitted. "Not too much though." Dark Leo nodded.
"Are you sore at all?"
"Not really." Another momentary silence.
"Are you-"
"You're really worried aren't you?" interrupted Dark Mike, looking vaguely annoyed.
"I can't help it, I don't know what caused you to collapse, and you'd been fine earlier. It- it scares me," he admitted the last bit very quietly. Dark Mikey was quiet for a moment.
"Leo?"
"Huh?"
"Why do you worry so much about me? Seriously bro, we're supposed to be heartless clones and all that. Unfeeling test tube mista-" Dark Leo suddenly had his brother pinned down.
"If I EVER hear you say such nonsense again, I swear that I will do you an injury!" He leaned closer. "Am I understood?" Dark Mikey nodded vigorously and the blue turtle backed off.
"Soo..." Before Dark Mike could say what he wanted to, Mikey came into the room, dragging Cody.
"Come on Cody, tell this spoilsport that this stuff is healthy!" Cody took one look at the tray and had to smile.
"Mikey..."
"Cody..." whined Mikey.
"It's healthy," said Cody, though his face said otherwise. Fortunately for Dark Mike, Dark Leo hadn't payed attention to Cody's face.
"Fine..."
"Thanks bro!" laughed Dark Mike, lightly punching Dark Leo's arm before grabbing one of the snacks and popping it into his mouth. "Mmm... delicious!"
"Of course!" said Mikey, striking a pose. "They were made by moi!" Dark Leo instantly prevented Dark Mike from touching anything else.
"What's wrong now?" the yellow turtle whined.
"Anything Michelangelo makes will probably wind up being radioactive. Besides, do you want to catch the stupid?" Dark Mike burst into laughter while Mikey looked offended, but also vaguely amused.
"Hardy hardy har har," he said. "Raph and Leo should be finished arguing now. They'll come 'round sooner or later though." The alarm went off, and Cody and Mikey immediately rushed out, while they heard Raph yell 'I knew it!' Before Dark Leo could get up and leave, Dark Mikey caught his wrist.
"Why DO you protect me so much?" Dark Leo smiled slightly.
"Because you're my little brother," he said, before giving Dark Mikey a light punch and running out. Dark Mikey shook his head.
"Dude, that was SUCH an un-villain-like thing to say."
XxXxX
"Where's Mikey's clone?" asked Raph as soon as Dark Leo joined them to observe the Terrorpin landing.
"He's still laying down," said Dark Leo, crossing his arms and giving Raph a sour look.
"Why? He was probably faking it in the first place," said the red-banded turtle. Before Dark Leo could blow up, Mikey intervened.
"Dude, he wasn't. You didn't see his expression or hear him when he got here. There was no faking with the problem, just like there wasn't when Blue here got hurt protecting Cody."
"I STILL don't get why exactly I did that," muttered Dark Leo. The Terrorpin landed and the two other turtles climbed out, both looking VERY annoyed.
"Explain to us why you kidnapped our siblings when they weren't doing anything!" hissed Dark Don.
"They didn't kidnap us," said Dark Leo, coming out of the shadows.
"You're siding with them?"
"No, I thought you were a genius!" Dark Don calmed down enough for Dark Leo to explain what happened. The purple turtle started looking a little sheepish.
"Um... sorry for blasting a few things on my way up then."
"Is Mikey okay?" asked Dark Raph, looking slightly concerned. Dark Leo nodded.
"Canary breath is fine enough to start trying to trick me," said Dark Leo. Dark Don snorted while Dark Raph roared with laughter.
"Canary breath?"
"Michelangelo thought it up," said Dark Leo, jerking a thumb in Mikey's direction. The orange-banded turtle bowed, grinning, while Raph just glared at everything in general.
XxXxX
"You're completely recovered," said Don, smiling at Dark Mike.
"Sweet!" Dark Mike swallowed an ice cream bar, something he'd become rather fond of, and got up. "So... does this mean we've gotta go back to being enemies?" he asked, deflating slightly. Before Mikey could say anything, Dark Leo nodded.
"You know... it's never too late to change," said Leo quietly. Dark Leo shot a look at him, then laughed mirthlessly.
"I'm a scorpion remember? I can't change my nature."
"Maybe your nature isn't what you think it is," said Raph, surprising all of them. "What? Just sayin'... doesn't mean I think that's true of course, I wholeheartedly agree with you being a scorpion." Dark Leo rolled his eyes.
"I should have known better than to think you'd change your opinion of me." Dark Don gave Dark Leo a light punch to the shoulder.
"Oh hush, you know that he might not be that bad either... 'course," giving Raph an evil smile, he continued. "That doesn't mean I believe that at all. I know he's absolutely rotten deep down."
"WHY YOU-!"
"Oh can it, the anger thing is getting old," said Dark Raph, giving his counterpart a gentle shove. Of course, being much bigger, he didn't quite judge his strength correctly, and Raph was shoved a few feet. Raph glared, and opened his mouth to say something, but Don interrupted.
"Okay then! I also upgraded the Terrorpin a bit, it has marvelous systems and weapons!"
"Isn't upgrading the enemy's merch a stupid move?" asked Dark Don, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, but I'm sorta hoping that you guys won't always be our enemies... 'cause, to be quite honest, you guys are rather cool, once you get past the whole intimidating and bad guy front you guys put on."
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Dark Mikey.
"It means that you guys aren't all that bad," said Mikey. "And the next time I see you, I SO expect a rematch on that game! Yeah I'm talking to you dude!" he added in response to the innocent look Dark Don gave him. Unlike his counterpart, Dark Don greatly enjoyed playing video games, and looked like he was going to become something of a game addict.
When they got to the Terrorpin, and the Dark Turtles boarded it, Dark Leo paused to turn and look back at Leo. "Perhaps we can be friends later on, Leonardo, but for now, I think you'll have to settle for frienemies." Leo's mouth twitched into a smile.
"Frienemies it is then."
Okay, the original idea actually lasted a little longer before it snowballed onto a completely different course. :D It lasted up to Dark Mikey waking up! Sooo... um... yeah, it seems like some of these oneshots are just destined to be short, while others are destined to be longer. O.o Btw, I have a poll on my profile, regarding whether or not I should create a collection of stories where it has one or two of the Dark Turtles interacting with one or all of the TMNT. :3 And various other things like that...
I have no idea what else to say for some reason, and I'm being prodded to get up for dinner, so READ AND REVIEW PLEASE! :D I love getting feedback on these, seeing as everyone has been so nice and everything! =3 It makes me feel quite bubbly.
