Casey looked at the younger versions of her family. Everyone hugging with family love while he watched. I thought it was normal for them to be this affectionate after almost dying in battle.As he looked at the younger versions of his family, the.Casey Jr remembered his own family. He smiled, at least his previous family (Future Family?) were resting at last.Doubt fell into his heart as he thought and listened to the laughter of the teenagers in front of him. Something felt wrong, to him everything felt absolutely wrong. Fear was eating him alive as he looked at the people from his past.Could he still call them family ? Could he even continuewith this lie? He is a child soldier. He was born and raised in the apocalypse. He shouldn't feel so bad…he was used to it. He should let go of bad emotions and move forward bravely. How his dad would have wanted . After all he was a brave boy when he was a baby. His mother always told him that he was brave for holding out in the garbage dump. For being strong. For persevering in the cold of the snow that threatens to take him at an early age. Casey thought a little at the memory of his sweet, stubborn mother. He really missed her.Casey Jr looked up at the sky as he heard someone call his name softly. No one but him seemed to notice.[ Come home Casey Jones Jr. We are waiting for you …]His Aunt April's voice said lovingly inviting him to join them. Casey Jr looked at his teenage Aunt April knowing that she wasn't the one who had called him. He closed his eyes quietly as he listened to his family from his past conversing.Casey felt her skin begin totingle. He already knew what was happening. Invisible hands held him by the shoulders, so that another hand could touch his back. At least he didn't hurt. He thought calmly.He heard the voice of his uncle Donatello, somewhat sad but happy, talking to him. He was sure he could see his uncle's translucent figure behind him, giving him a smile to reassure him. And he saw it. Tired eyes looking into his face.[ We're happy you're back with us, Mikey wants to cook all your favorite dishes. We have a gift for you here little Jr ]Casey heard her uncle's dry laugh as the hand on her back went away. The young boy from the future saw that his family from the past was looking at him with horrified eyes. As if they were seeing a dead person.Splinter gulped as he saw that the body of the boy in front of him was beginning to go up like smoke. Oh. Casey Jr. noticed him when he looked at his arm. His expression didn't change in the slightest when he noticed that his right hand missing.April tremblingly held the hand of her adoptive brother, Leo, when she noticed the look of pain that she kept seeing on Casey Jr's face, who was looking at her hand as if it were something totally normal.Casey knew that her family from the past had realized she was dying. From the simple look on his face, Casey wished his 'death' hadn't been in a place more removed from the people he cared about. He didn't want to see more looks of horror and fear. From his families and former friends in the apocalypse, enough was enough with the war and people being massacred while they screamed in pain as their bodies transformed into something bizarre. Casey Jones still remembers the death of one of his friends before it. The blood in his eyes and mouth as he begged for help, he couldn't help. Nobody could. He couldn't come back for it.Leo pronounced the name of the boy who was disappearing with smoke that was beginning to cover him little by little. -"Casey..."-It's bad, right?" Casey mentioned without the slightest concern that his arms were vanishing like dust. The lack of both of his arms already became evident. The boy's eyes never stopped looking at his old family in the past, he showed a smile that everything was fine , that this was nothing. Leo felt his heart break at the small, sincere smile the boy was showing him. His brothers were silent, while Donatello moved his lips to speak. Saying the words that everyone feared except for Casey Jr. Because he already knew what was happening. He was dying.-"Your timeline is eliminated, you are dying..."-Everyone is silent for a few seconds. Casey Jr heard his mother's voice as he felt something holding his non-existent hands. He felt safe listening to his mother, his real mother in his world. His mother remains...[ Come home baby, mommy is waiting for you, we are waiting for you …]-"Donatello... do something..."It's bad, right?" Casey mentioned without the slightest concern that his arms were vanishing like dust. The lack of both of his arms already became evident. The boy's eyes never stopped looking at his old family in the past, he showed a smile that everything was fine , that this was nothing.

His mother remains...[ Come home baby, mommy is waiting for you, we are waiting for you …]-"Donatello... do something..."Mikey asked, laughing a little more, looking at him funny.[ Yes, there were so many things I had never seen! The pizza is delicious and so are those chocolate mint candies! I had never tasted delicious things before! ] Casey explained and then mentioned sadly as she looked at her shoes.[ I...I...I missed them... ] Casey looked at the ground sadly and then looked at her family.Leo sonorously put his hand on the child's head, caressed it lovingly, and spoke. [ We know, come here, group hug guys ![ Group hug! ] she shouted almost happy to hug her family, his real family. He was at home. Meanwhile, a small and large family watched in horror as that child turned into dust being carried by the wind. As if it had never existed. _ Years had passed since that boy from the future left with the wind. The family had to overcome the fact that someone died in front of them. At first it wasn't easy, most of them had nightmares until they managed to overcome it.Just like flies, mutants and Yokais can now coexist among humans normally.Leo walked on the street in the middle of the night calmly until his steps stopped when he heard crying.He looked at where the crying was coming from. A dark alley. Leonardo walked towards the alley to help in front of a trash can with the lid open. He glanced inside the trash can and his expression changed to a sad one when he saw the small baby with short hair who looked less than two months old.Leo took him in his arms and looked at his face as he began to cry as he carried the baby carefully in his arms, fatherly love.-"Casey Jr... I found you"-Leo left the alley with a dirty baby towards his home. His family could have a surprise. At the end of it all they had the youngest back in thefamily. And this time they would make him grow up like a child unlike the 'I' of the apocalyptic future.The young boy deserved to have at least a normal childhood. Leo thought.
