Summary
Based off similar to the Frozen movie/musical; Long ago, Mikey was chosen by a magical god and blessed with magic powers when he was a baby
One night the young three turtles played with Mikey and his powers until they begin to roughly treat his magic like a toy, which causes Mikey to accidentally caused his psychic powers to explode and blast the three turtles unconscious.
After the ancient folk heal them and had their memories erased of Mikey's magic; Mikey was forced to conceal his powers by Splinter when a horrible vision was foretold if Mikey loses control of his magic again, his family may be doomed.
One day they were called to the Nexus World where Mikey was chosen to be part of the Hall of Fame of Champions and a Coronation Ball was to be held in honor for him.
The Ball went well until Mikey and Splinter got into a heated argument which causes his psychic powers to erupts and creates chaos in the palace, causing Mikey to fled in shame and fear.
It's up to Splinter and the turtles to save Mikey from a tyrannical emperor who wants him dead and to convince Mikey who has found a friend that helps him along with his powers to come home and let them help him better before things get worse

Summary
"Finally, they could try and regain their lost childhood, to be a family again.
Except…
His family didn’t feel like family anymore.
Michelangelo knew that logically, friends often drifted apart—changed directions in their lives. Though he always expected family to stay. To have a bond stronger than the forces of nature, impossible to sever. They always came back in the end, didn’t they? No matter what happened.
Turns out….he was wrong because his brothers left him too."
Or: Michelangelo's brothers deal with their grief and trauma in different ways after the loss of Splinter finally settles in, eventually, they all leave in one way or another-- only he remains. It doesn't help that something is lurking in New York.
What will it take to bring his brothers home?

Summary
The sound of the apocalypse is a pop number from 1968 by The Foundations.
And that’s only because Raphael’s little brother didn’t have the common courtesy to get a decent punk-rock song stuck in his head on the day they fell into this hellscape in the first place.
He’s just saying, The Clash or The Offspring or even Fall Out Boy would make more sense, like, thematically. Instead he’s stuck listening to—
“WHY DO YOU BUILD ME UP! BUTTERCUP, BABY, JUST TO LET ME DOWN!”
“Mikey,” he yells across the street, “I swear to GOD!”

Summary
(Inspired by Jean Little’s poem, “Oranges”, as seen in notes).
…the undying silence felt like ants gnawing at Mikey’s veins, skittering around hungrily. It made him squirm in anticipation for something, anything to happen.
But it never did.
So he found himself crouched down on the weathered porch, prodding at the chips of paint that flaked off the wood. He could subtly feel the sharp splints of loose slivers digging into his knees. The brisk wind licked against his scales, providing him a teaspoon of comfort from the desolated air…
OR: Mikey goes to the porch to think, and Leo joins him.

Summary
Portals were a weird thing.
Like most magic it seemed to be triggered by emotions. Which is fine, okay, great even! But it was also some how triggered by just running at your sibling who can also use to give them a hug while you have a mystic fritz? A lot less fine, okay, great. Then said mystic fritz flings you across New York in an alleyway all alone with a head wound and completely drained of mystic energy?
Really not fine, okay, great.
Or Mikeys switch places and the 2012 boys think they have the right Mikey

Summary
“You can’t make me go,” Mikey blurts, too loud. “I won’t. I don’t want to.”
“Jesus,” Donnie mutters, rubbing his forehead. He’s already so fed-up with Mikey after like three seconds of conversation that Mikey can feel his eyes start to sting. “The last thing I want to do is fight with you, Mike. I thought you liked Cowabunga Carl.”
It’s not fair. Donnie’s so smart. He’s tired and overworked and unhappy, but he’s smart. How can he get this one thing so wrong? How can he not know Mikey as well as he used to, like all of those years of being each other’s best friends and co-conspirators and secret-keepers from where they were relegated to the “B Team” aren’t as intrinsic and important and fundamental to him as they are to Mikey? How can he look at Mikey, right in the face, and not understand him at all?
Something breaks.

Summary
Mikey was known to retreat into his shell when stressed or scared. It was a daily occurrence, and his brothers had gotten used to carrying him home after a particularly tough fight or moving him to his bed after he'd scared himself into his shell while watching a scary movie.
They always knew he would be back out of the shell with his happy-go-lucky attitude in no time, so they never worried.
But this time was different. Mikey wasn't coming out of his shell.
Almost dying wasn't as easy to shake off as a horror movie.Series

Summary
"How 'bout, umm," Fuckkkkk what was he supposed to do now. His eyes drifted to the side of the van. There! "Bebop and Rocksteady!" This one was... actually decent! Maybe they should try and keep these ones aroun- "Is that what you do? Randomly name enemies based on stuff you see around you?" Bebop yelled. What a buzzkill
"Ehh, is not so bad. Kind of like the Rocksteady," Rocksteady said, already feeling the name, despite Antons obvious disappointment based on the hand that he was dragging down his face and the groan he let out. Bebop snorted and looked around for a second before activating his glasses. What did they do again? He forgot but it must've been something bad based on the way his face lit up and he started walking towards the van. Towards Leo.
or
What if Bebop actually sprayed Mikey with the retromutagen?(s3e11)
