So here I really like Jonathan using his knowledge of psychology in this chapter, showing what he could have been if he used his talents for good instead of becoming a super villain

So Ichabod told the whole sorry tale, and Donatello was disgusted by what he heard! He thought about his family's feud with the Foot Clan and the quest to avenge Hamato Yoshi's death and he thought about this story of revenge was of the most gross and nasty variety, Scarecrow took away his child so this man decided to hurt the Scarecrow's child! Don thought the fact his family knew the Shredder was the one they knew they had to take down and they would never take it out on Karai...You don't take revenge on an innocent third party! Not that Karai was as innocent as Ichabod but…

"So anyway…" Don said "...I just saw Bill practicing with his girlfriend...He said he believed that if you two don't find a cure, he feels their almost certainly going to win the contest."

Don noticed Marzipan's ears drooping and a heartbroken look in her eyes...But Ichabod merely finished his burger. Licked some sauce off his fingers and said "There's no use crying over split milk! Bill is my best friend and I wish him the best of luck in the dance contest…"

Don sighed "If only Mikey could have had your level of sportsmanship…" Thinking about how Mikey became such a braggart after winning the Battle Nexus Tournament.

Meanwhile, Zeb the Mutant Zebra Filly was quietly laying on her bed when she was told she had a visitor!

Zeb rushed to the front door, wondering who it could be when she saw the face that was so much like Ichabod's but older!

"Jonathan!" Zeb exclaimed

"Yes Zeb, it's me…" Jonathan's voice with firm and also gentle "I learned what exactly happened yesterday, and Ichabod was very upset, very worried about your well-being so since Ichabod is currently unable to come to you, for reasons I'm sure you know why…"

Zeb looked down remembering the terrifying man and how the last thing she saw was Ichabod being pulled around the cottage.

"...So I'm taking it upon myself to do something about this sibling rivalry!' Jonathan said "Not only because I'm a psychologist but because since Ichabod is essentially your Father because of the magic that was accidentally applied during your fostering, therefor I am essentially your Grandfather so I feel an obligation to help you!"

So Zeb quietly walked beside Jonathan as they were on their way to Taylor's house to they could talk out their feelings...Zeb felt like she was being led to her execution…

"There's a reason I came to you first…" Jonathan said gently "...I wanted to talk to you first, because I think I know the reason for this spat from what I'm able to gather from the stories of your fostering and what I've seen from Ichabod's interactions with you…"

Zeb raised her head and looked at Jonathan

"I think it's clear Ichabod does give...Special attention to Taylor…" Jonathan said "...I think what happened is because she is the one bird in your group, she didn't engage in the rough and tumble play you and your fellow mammal siblings engaged in, instead she was the one Ichabod could give his smothering attentions to and she would appreciate it, while Marzipan with her tomboy wisdom, wrestled with you and the other Mammals, Taylor was the one Ichabod could spend endless time cuddling and reading stories to...Ichabod was able to be the 'male mother hen' and he always did have a fondness for birds…"

Really grateful I thought up this story as it gives me a chance to give some of the Cubs some individual character arcs other than Caesar's
