Chapter 13: stories
A/n: hey everybody. A new chapter arrived and it's ready to give you the well deserved flashback to Donnie's life the past months his brothers lived without him. Have fun reading!
"You see: the day we were celebrating the defeat of the Kraang, I was on the rooftops thinking about some things. Because I had a feeling I wasn't appreciated by you. I also was jealous of you, Mikey. You defeated the Kraang by just fooling around while I've been studying their technology for quite some time. Then shadow appeared. We talked and she told me to think about Raph, Leo and you and what you did to me. Raph humiliated me in front of April and afterwards he called me 'sadorable', Leo always yelled at me to hurry up and you just fooled around with my stuff every time. I couldn't take it anymore. So I packed my stuff, telling you guys that I'm just cleaning up, and the day you left for patrol, I grabbed my stuff and went to Shadow, who was waiting for me. We went together to her hideout. I was amazed by all the scientific tools she had. It was incredible. I got my own lab and room and I could ask for help when I wanted to, because there were other scientists. There wasn't a burden anymore that I had to have all the answers. So that's the reason I left. I felt like I wasn't in my place with you guys and I felt unappreciated and jealous.
Now about my mask: It's a funny and short story. One night when I was asleep, Shadow sneaked into my room and she grabbed my mask. She wanted to know what it's like to wear a mask. But she accidently dropped it and half of my mask fell in black paint. The next morning she gave it back and apologized. She told me she would get me a new one, but I said I liked it better this way and I still do. So that's the story."
Donnie looked at Mikey, waiting for a reaction. "Wow", Mikey said, "I didn't know what you were going through. I'm so sorry bro." "It doesn't matter. At first, all I wanted was revenge, but thanks to Shadow that's all over. Now I just want to stay here and be left alone by my past. But it seems it will always haunt me. And now I pulled you in this mess too. I think it's better if Shadow and I leave the town. Then, you and Leo and Raph can just move on without bumping into me all the time." "No! You can't be serious. We just have to make up. Put away our differences and become friends again. Then we can forget all this and –" "NO! It's too late for that. I'm sorry Mikey, but I don't think they will forgive me. Especially after what I did to Leo. Sometimes I lose control. That's why it's not safe. I'm still full of emotions and sometimes I lose control and attack. Please, go back to Leo and Raph. It's safer for you." "I can't. After the fight, they kept following me. They checked my every move. They knew I wanted to see you and they didn't want me to." "But if they were following you the whole time, why not now?" "I lost them in a maze of streets. Just like you would do." "You sure you can't go back? If you come with me, I don't know how Shadow might react and if Raph and Leo will ever accept you again." "I'm sure." "Okay then. Let's go."
A/n: And that's how Mikey left Leo and Raph for Donnie. Please don't hate me for this confusing chapter. It was better in my head and I wanted Mikey to be with Donnie. It will become better, I promise.
