Chapter 10: Welcome Home Michelangelo
Donnie patched up the last uncovered cut on his little brother. He sighed and gazed down at his unconscious brother, he was relieved to have his brother back in the lair safe, but was so mad at how careless the bone head could be. Oh Donnie will make sure to go big brother on his butt as soon as he wake up, for the meantime Donnie covered Mikey up and closed the door behind him. He joined his older brothers and his father in the kitchen. "How is he?" Leo asked.
"Better. His wounds will heal but im still not sure how that beam effected him."
"Well at least he didn't turn into an annoying eight year old this time." Raph said.
Donnie rolled his eyes at his brothers comment and walked over to the fridge. He grabbed a box of pizza. He placed a few slices onto a paper plate then heated them up. "Knowing Mikey he'd be hungry when he wakes up."
"If he wakes up." Raph corrected.
Donnie glared at Raph. "Its when shell for brains, Mikey is still alive."
"But he also could fall into another coma Donnie." Leo pointed out. Donnie shook his head. "No. He cant. I wont let him."
His brothers and sensei gave him a concerning look but all Donnie did was turn his back to them, grabbed the pizza and walked off to Mikey's room. Donnie lost him more than enough times, this time he will do whatever it takes to keep him.
"Mikey that's it!" six year old raph yelled. "You paint on my shell when im sleeping again and your dead!"
Mikey giggled at his big brother and ran off as Raph chased him.
"Mikey you little-" twelve year old Raph growled.
"Oh come on Raphie it was only two water balloons!" Mikey laughed as he ran for it.
"Leo I had a nightmare….." Six year old Mikey sniffed.
Leo looked at his younger brother and sighed, he scooted over and made room for his younger brother. His arms wrapped around the scared turtle. "Don't worry, your okay, I wont let anything happen to you."
"Come on Mikey Space Heros is on!" Leo chimed as he sat down in front of the TV. Twelve year old Mikey sat in his brothers lap. "What are you doing?"
"Sitting with my brother." Mikey smiled up at Leo and made himself comfy. Leo was hesitant at first but after looking into those big blue eyes he couldn't resist, he hugged his little brother as they both watched Space Heros.
"Daddy!" Six year old Mikey cried to his daddy, he rushed to splinter and landed in his arms. "Raphie hit me!"
Splinter looked down at his youngest. "What did you do this time?"
Mikey frowned and looked down. "Only painted on his shell…."
Splinter rolled his eyes but smiled at his son. "Michelangelo, I suggest you go apologize to your brother."
Mikey looked up at his father and nodded as his lower lip stuck out, in a pout. Slinter chuckled after his son left the room.
"Sensei! Sensei! Look what Donnie made me!" his twelve year old son rushed into the dojo, interrupting sensei's meditation, Splinter looked at Mikey who held up a skate bored that had small rockets attached to them.
"Look!" Mikey commanded as he hopped on the bored. Splinter flinched when his son was soon flung off and pushed to the ground. He sighed. "My son I suggest you practice before you let Donatello
"See this is how you spell your name!" a six year old Donnie told as he held up the piece of paper to his little brother.
Mikey cocked his head. "That's your name Donnie."
Donnie rolled his eyes but joined in as his little brother giggled.
"Donnie could you please build me a skate bored that goes fast!" Twelve year old Mikey asked.
Donnie looked up at his pleading brother and sighed. "Mikey what happened to the last one I built you…?"
"Raph broke it." Mikey frowned.
Donnie rolled his eyes but smiled. "Okay okay I will when I can." He laughed as he watched his dear brother jump up for glee.
Mikey finally felt at ease, for the first time in a long time, remembering those sweet memories, he couldn't believe that he forgot all about those times. His brothers smiles and laughter, his fathers hugs and warmth. He really wanted that now, to be in his fathers arms again, to see his brothers smiles, and to be the childish wild one he was before all this. He wanted to wake up, but something held him in this dark abyss, he wasn't sure what it was but Mikey knew it was something. But what? Was it fear? From the shredder? From the Kraang? From being away from his brothers for so long?
"Its yourself." A voice spoke from behind, Mikey turned to gasp. His eyes widened at the sight. In front of him stood a turtle, his height, his skin color, his round baby face and freckles, his orange mask, everything was similar.
"Who-Who are you."
"Who am I?" The turtle asked then he shrugged. "I am you, your inner self."
"My inner?"
The turtle nodded. "I am the one who holds your memories, your emotions, I am that little voice you always hear when you know your doing something wrong."
Mikey blinked. "That's not right…if you hold my memories, why did I get them back when you weren't even here?"
"I don't have to be here physically, but mentally."
Mikey frowned. "Why did you leave?"
"My emotions got the best of me, I was scared, so I hid."
"But why? I needed you, my family was put through hell cause of me-us-you."
"That light Donnie hit us with scared me so I coward away."
Mikey frowned. "So can you tell me why I cant leave?"
"Fear. Your scared that you might loose yourself again, go back to not remembering a thing." The turtle hugged Mikey's shoulder. "But you don't need to worry or be scared. Im not going anywhere."
Mikey looked at his other self. "Promise…."
The turtle smiled and held Mikey's hand. "Lets go back to our brothers…..its been a while since there was laughter and smiles seen there."
Mikey smiled big and squeezed his other selfs hand. They both closed their eyes. And A flash of light consumed them. Mikey's eyes shifted open, blurry figures loomed over him.
"He's waking up!" Leo's voiced.
"Mikey!" Donnie cried out.
"We got pizza." Raph held a piece of pizza in front of Mikey's face. Mikey's eyes opened wider and his vision cleared. He sat up. His brothers looked cautioned, as if they were ready for Mikey not to remember them again. Mikey smiled. He pulled Donnie into his arms and hugged him tight. "Donnie! Oh I missed you big time!" He let go and jumped over onto Raph making them both fall down. Mikey hugged his shocked brother tightly. "Raphie!" Mikey jumped up and hugged Leo's neck. "Leo!"
Leo held his little brother a bit taken aback by all of this but he was glad to have his brother back, Donnie smiled and joined in on the hug, Raph forgot his pride and anger and joined as well.
Master splinter entered the room. "Michelangelo your up." He spoke. Mikey flew past his brothers and leaped into his dads arms. "Dad!" He cried out. "I missed you so much!" He confessed and smiled as he felt his dads arms hugging him back.
"And as did I my son." Splinter smiled and gestured for his three sons to join in. They did so. "Welcome home Michelangelo…."
