Splinter felt a slight disturbance as he meditated he let out a sigh and stood walking slowly to the main room he was met by the sight of April asleep out on the couch a sapping movie on the TV he smiled softly and pulled a blanket over April
"Mikey you getting pizza everywhere just cut it normal" Donnie's voice said impatiently from his lab
"No way dude a pizza like this has to be cut as epically as it was made" Mikey said then let out a girly scream
"Mercy mercy I'm sorry raph" Mikey cried
Splinters smile widened as he listened to his sons converse in the room over
"Alright raph get off of Mikey" Leo said a sigh in his voice
"Why would I do that fearless?" raph questioned teasing in his voice
Splinter entered the room clearing his throat
All fours brothers turned to see splinter standing there playing with his beard
"ah master splinter" raph said as he shoved Mikey farther to the ground doing his best to hide him from splinters view. Mikey squirmed under raph.
Leo quickly joined in diving on the counter in front that blocked splinters line of view
"Sorry if we disturbed your meditation master" Leo said
"Yeah sorry splinter" Donnie grabbed a smoke bomb and discretely got ready to throw it
"Donatello you must be bored thinking of making a prank like Michelangelo would"
"Ahaha yeah" Donatello fake laughed getting a glare from raph
"My sons what has your brother done this time?" splinter frowned closing his eyes
Leo let out a sigh and nodded to raph who stood letting Mikey stand
"He well uh I'm not really sure master" Leo said frowning
Splinter looked Mikey up and down once before sighing deeply no real surprise showing on his face
"And what have you gotten into michelangelo?" splinter asked
"Eh well I uh… I came into Donnie's lab last night and I tripped and knocked the garbage over and some pink stuff came out and it kinda got in my mouth eheheh" Mikey said looking anywhere but at his family
"Mikey!" all three brother yelled at the same time
"What I was looking for Donnie to fix my t-pod" Mikey defended he turned in time to see splinter shake his head
"Donatello can you fix your brother" splinter asked frowning
"it was a chemically based anti-matter I was working on it was a failed batch but honestly its just going to have to wear off" Donatello said going back to his microscope
"How long will it take?" Leo questioned looking Mikey up and down again
"By the amount I'm assuming he in took it should wear off within a month" Donnie answered
"What am I going to do till then?" Mikey cried throwing himself at raph who side stepped and pushed Mikey back
"I don't know pinky" raph said sarcastically
"Michelangelo my son you will have to learn to fight in this new body"
"Yes master splinter" Mikey mumbled looking to the side as splinter left to finish his meditating
"Don't worry kid you'll figure it out" raph said ruffling mikey's blonde hair, Mikey pouted, his bottom lip stuck out and his eyes slightly squinted
"I think we can work with this to your benefit Mikey" Leo said instantly Mikey perked up
"You'll be quicker you won't strike as much of a punch but your speed will make up for that" leo finished
"I can make you some armor to make up for the lack of shell" Donnie said standing he began taking measurements
"Really Donnie?" Mikey said a smile forming on his face
"Yeah it'll be no problem" Mikey jumped on Donnie hugging him
"Thanks D you're the best"
Raph quietly left the room leaving his three brothers he went to his punching bag and began taking out his confusion and frustration on the doll Thoughts swirling through his mind
'Mikey is a human now'
'He's soft and fragile'
'You'll break him you dummy'
'Be gentle'
'I can't be gentle'
Raph's thoughts were froze when he felt warms arms wrap around him from behind he spun only to see Mikey smiling up at him
"Let's go raphie its time for dinner splinters eating with us" Mikey said smiling so brightly it rivaled the sun, raph felt his heart warm
'I don't like it' raph thought but even so he gave Mikey half a hug
They walked to the kitchen together Mikey babbling as usual, this time about the new horror comic he was reading which actually sounded scary not that raph would admit that to anyone. Raph slapped mikey's back
"You're not going to be able to sleep now" raph scolded
"What? I'll be able to sleep fine"
Donnie and Leo laughed as they listened to Mikey and raph argue back and forth about it, some things never change
