    Summary

    They stepped through into the Hidden City.

     

    There was a familiar swooping feeling that Sal had gotten from falling through the portal a few days ago, although not nearly so disorienting since unlike before he was on his own two feet. Remembering his instructions from Mariko, Sal kept moving even though he couldn’t see anything past the spinning void of pink and green and blue, Lou close behind him. Their shoes made noise as they came in contact with some kind of ground, but before Sal could even begin to think of what it could be, he and Lou were blinking under the bright bioluminescent glow of the Hidden City streetlights.

     

    Also unlike before, was the friendlier face there to greet them. “Welcome back, Mr. Munroe. Hamato-san.” Mariko said with a smile.

    Summary

    he knows anger, when he feels it. anger is comfortable, all-encompassing - when the unfamiliar feeling in his chest gets too much for him to bear, he finds the fastest way to turn it into anger, and trusts that his siblings will read the truth in the lines of his face, in the morse code of blood speckled across his knuckles.

    this feeling, however, never stays in his chest. it burns and boils and slams down into his stomach, all heavy anvils and hard edges, low growls and white-hot terror, tense as a bow string. it takes his heart down with it - and his lungs, after that - and once his chest is hollow, it reaches up and claws through his throat instead, and he doesn't realise he's snarling until that's empty too.

    (or: raphael has pathological demand avoidance - even the smallest and most reasonable of requests feels like a threat to his life.)

    Summary

    No, it doesn’t hurt—not until he knows the sound of a crashing window, memorizes the feeling of a hand around his throat, and understands for the first time that he is not made of steel. Master Splinter had prayed for his son to come back. Leo isn’t sure that’s what happened.

    In which Leo has a problem stirring in her chest, and she solves it—like she solves many things, really—by hitting people. (The problem and the hitting are not related.)
