Day eleven
In the Oroku Enterprise executive washroom….. Because apparently it came with a huge shower … Anyways, in the executive washroom, it was filled with steam and someone in the shower was singing, and of course that someone was Michaelangelo, singing to the magnificent musical not-suggestive-at-all styling of Lady Gaga.
"Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna – and I am not singing that part, it is way too gay." Mikey mused and applied the umpteenth layer of soap, because of his secret germaphobia that he acquired sometime after joining the Foot…. How he got it, he wasn't sure.
After a few minutes of daydreaming, he felt a hand on his shoulder "Angel…." He purred (daydreaming people) and turned around.
And screamed.
"H-HOLY SHIT! Get the fuck out!" He screamed and literally kicked Leo out of the shower "Are you trying to give me a heart attack? !"
"Mike -"
"You totally just killed my boner!"
Leo rolled his eyes "Didn't need to know that…." He muttered and waited for Mikey to be done "Why are you so defensive? We all used to run around only in masks."
"Quiet you! You will stay out of the shower while I'm in it; I definitely will not drop the soap….."
Leo rolled his eyes again.
The water stopped running and Mikey exited with a towel around his waist, and another one wrapped on the top of his head which was probably for comical purposes only seeing as they had no hair.
Mikey quickly got back into his ninja uniform and made sure he didn't look Leo in the face the whole time – if there was one thing he hated, it was being looked in the face without his mask. Why? The scar on his face kind of explained that….
"Now, what do you want drunky? Whatever if it, it better be important enough that you had to sneak up on me in the shower like a pervert." Mike scoffed after both and Leo left the Executive washroom and instead entered his office.
"What happened to you?" Leo asked bluntly.
"W-What?" Mikey asked in surprise and blinked; he actually half-expected Leo to ask for money like El and his cronies frequently did (They got nothing but a shell-kicking), and sometimes so did Doc (he did get money).
"After you were exiled, what exactly happened?" Leo asked, foreward.
"I joined the Foot." Mike replied; Leo knew that, why was he asking?
"Mikey," Leo warned and drew out a katana Mikey didn't even notice he had. Mikey backed up; the one freaking day he decided to not have his nunchucks with him! Facing Leo with weapons was hard enough in the past, and even though it was probably easier now since he had been practicing Ninjitsu and Leo didn't anymore, it didn't change the fact that Leo was still a ninja by nature and Mikey was completely weaponless.
Leo kept taking steps towards him and Mikey moved back in until his shell hit the wall and Leo's katana was inches away from his face. The sea-green turtle was terrified now.
"Now," Leo hissed "when I ask you a question, you will answer right?"
Mikey nodded quickly, his eyes still on the katana and he felt the blood draining his face, remembering the last time he had come face-to-blade with Leo…..
"What exactly happened after you were exiled? I want the whole story Mike."
Shaking on the inside, Mike was silent, not wanting to share that particular information.
"Michaelangelo." Leo warned and pressed the blade of his katana against the other turtles throat "You know I hate waiting."
Mikey gulped "W-When I was exiled….." He began "The very night I left, it was raining…. I spent all night looking for somewhere to stay for a while, b-but I got a cold because of how cold and drenched I got. I thought I would pass, but it got worse after a while and the cuts I had f-from y-you got infected. I got really sick. But while I was sick I realized I deserved to be exiled. I did! I was a fucking liability! I was useless to the team, I was nothing but an annoying show-off, an idiot -!"
"Stop." Leo commanded past clenched teeth; he was utterly in disbelief over how Mikey considered himself. "How did you get better?"
"Because I realized I was evil, I decided to join the Foot clan – the Shredder contemplated on whether he should put me down like a dying dog, or give me a shot so I can get better – he flipped a coin." Leo wondered if he was serious about that "So Stockman-Stein forced some medicine in me and I got better."
"Why did you decide to take the Foot clan over?" Leo asked.
"I didn't originally." Mikey shrugged "But one day he made me train for a while a-and started to f-fight me…." There was something in the usually insane turtles eyes "H-He started to beat me…. And I re-remembered the last night I was h-h-home….." His voice was cracking, and past the ninja mask Leo could see tears gathering in the youngest turtles eyes "I didn't want i-it to h-h-happen again…. I got b-beat up pretty bad and wanted revenge…. So I stabbed the Shredder in the back and betrayed him… Because that's what I am… A dishonorable, evil turtle who has to betray…."
Leo threw his sword a couple of feet away and grabbed Mikey's shoulders and started shaking him "That's not true!" He shouted, not able to take any more of Mikey's self-loathing and self-blame "You didn't do anything wrong Mikey! I did wrong! You didn't betray us! You trusted me, and I betrayed your trust!" He was shaking Mike so much he was practically slamming him against the wall now, not that he noticed "You didn't deserve to be exiled Mike…." His voice lowered and he stopped shaking his little brother, who was literally in tears now.
"I deserved to be exiled…." Mikey quietly stated, his ninja mask now darkened from tears.
"No; if anyone deserved to be exiled, it was me. You were a brother all along, I wasn't…."
Without warning, Leo grabbed Mikey and hugged the smaller terrapin tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Leo…." Mikey said, voice thick with tears "I can't -!"
"Yes you can! You can accept the truth!" Leo said, hugging tighter.
"N-Not that! I can't fucking breathe! Ease up on the grip!" Mikey yelped.
"Oh, sorry." Leo muttered and lightened his grip, though it was still pretty tight "Mikey, please, don't forgive me…. But see some sense and forgive yourself."
"But I…"
"Did nothing wrong." Leo cut him off and finished "Mike, I am so sorry…. I can't even begin apologizing; I was grieving, but I had no right to take it out on you."
Mikey suddenly shoved Leo away and glared at him with intensity "You weren't the only one grieving!" He shouted "Splinter was my father too! He was El and Doc's too! We all were sad when Splinter died…."
"Mikey…" Leo called and attempted to comfort his brother, who only shoved him away.
"Just leave me alone; you were always good at ignoring me…." Mike hissed and punched the window, breaking the glass (currently not caring that he would have to pay for repairs later..) and jumping out of the building.
Leo tried to follow, but lost him soon after.
Angel was at home watching TV. She was bored, and would rather be hanging out with Mikey, but being home made her grandmother happy so she obliged. With Ryan at UC Davis University, she didn't want her grandma to be lonely or anything….
There was a knocking at her window before it opened, and a rather distressed-looking Michaelangelo came in.
"Hey Mike." Angel greeted. She was surprised when her boyfriend collapsed on the floor. She immediately came to his side "Are you alright?"
"No." He grumbled, his face still on the hardwood floor "I'm confused."
"What else is new?" Angel muttered, she patted Mikey's shell "Mike, what's wrong?"
"Leo came over to talk." He replied; Angel automatically saw a red flag. She knew damn well that Leo had been sobering up…. But she also knew that Mikey, bless his soul, had a rather…. Questionable psyche.
"How did it go?" She asked.
"Angel….." Mike looked up at her "… Do you think I'm not evil?"
Angel shook her head "I love you too much to think you're evil." She almost laughed when she saw the blush pass the turtles face.
"I don't know what to think." Mike sighed "I'm confused, I can't seem to find time to think…."
"Maybe you should get away for a while, you know, have a little vacation." Angel suggested, and regretted it when she saw the insane look return to her boyfriend.
"And we'll do just that." Mikey said and stood up; he picked Angel up and put her over her shoulder.
"Hey! Put me down!" Angel yelped and kicked.
"Nope, we're going on vacation; how do you feel about Florida?" He asked and took out his shell-cell.
"Well I hear that it's – WHAT! I am not going with you!"
"Sure you are." He stated with a shrug and put the shell-cell to his phone "Hello? Chaplin, since my current online college semester is over, I'm going on a holiday, I'll be back in a few weeks but you'll have to run the company for a while. Good luck." Click.
"Mike!" Angel yelled and struggled more.
Mikey dialed someone else "Hello? Ryan, tell your grandmother that Angel is coming with me for a business trip. Why? Dude you owe us for saving you that one time with the old guy. Later." Click.
Mike came up to the window.
"NO! You know I hate roof-hopping!" Angel told, pounding his shell with her fists.
"Close your eyes and imagine your on a roller-coaster with a lot of bumps." Mikey chuckled and jumped out.
Mikey is going to be gone for a little while, oh well. Sorry it took me a while to get this chapter, I had a camping trip with my family. We had an awesome time.
