Chapter 6: Handling The Champion
Authors Note: A shorter one, but a great one. And I wanted to give you guys something for all your waiting. Words together indicate slurring. More to come soon!
"Mikey….it's okay…." Leo said gently, coming up to Mikey.
"But Leo…it's gone…" Mikey looked at him sadly.
"We'll find it. Come on…" Leo put a hand on Mikey's shoulder, leading him away.
As the four turtles went onward toward their sewer home Mikey looked blankly in front of them. Raph, to his right, glanced over, grumbling to himself that Mikey was "creeping him out." Mikey continued looking ahead in that fashion until he scowled, putting a hand up to his chin in thinking mode.
"Maybe…" he murmured to himself...
As they walked across the tunnels Mikey looked up at Don and Raph, walking by his sides. He previously insisted he could walk on his own.
"You two…" He began.
They both looked at him, then each other, questioningly.
"Us two what?" Raph asked. I know I'm gonna regret this.
"You two…are totally ruining my fun. I mean for Leo it makesssense… he alwayssruining fun…." Mikey slurred.
"Hey!" Leo called from the front.
"Sorry to break it to you bro, but it's true." Raph chimed in.
"Yes…yes it's true…." Mikey agreed. "But Raph can be a real pain as well," he said quite normally.
"I'll second that." Don grinned.
"Careful Don, looks like you're next." Raph countered.
"No…he's not… he's before." Mikey said, sounding reasonable to himself.
"What? That doesn't make any sens-" Raph started.
"Before." Mikey interrupted him. "The opposite of next…Don doesn't fit in with you guys. He's your opposite."
There was a confused silence for a few seconds, then Don laughed.
"Hahaha, well I'll be…" He grinned.
"What the shell's he talking about?" Raph asked him.
"Don't worry about it. It'll just stress you out. When Mikey's in this state a lot of what he says won't make any sense."
"I'll buy that." Raph grumbled.
"Alright you guys, it's coming up." Leo announced.
"Finally…" Raph heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's coming up?" Mikey asked Don.
"The lair," Don answered.
"The lair…" Mikey trailed off. "Like Batman's?" He looked at Don.
"Yeah. Like Batman's." Don went along.
"He does know where we live right?" Raph asked Don.
"Yes, drugs don't do that much damage. Well…this kind doesn't anyway. It was just meant to hinder his ability to fight." Don answered.
"Hinder my ability?" Mikey mumbled to himself as they reached the lair.
