Chapter Text

Donatello has never felt any worse than this. How did he get sick?!? Donnie proudly washes his hands every 3 hours and uses hand sanitizer before and after anything he has touched!
So how in the world did he get sick???

a knock at his door.

"Heeeyyyy don tron!!" Donnie internally groaned.

he slowly looked behind his shoulder to see the one and only Leo, at his door of his room. "Heyy donnie! so like, I knoooww that you're not feeling the best righht now..But! our brother Mikey made you some soup y,know?"

" Can't you just you bring it over here?" Donnie was now fully facing his twin brother.

"Oh come on! you've been holed up in here ever since you got sick, You'll only get worse!" Leo groaned

"Oh well my legs are just..oh so weak! I do not think i will make the journey from my room to the kitchen! oh darn." Donnie then turned back around his back facing his brother. "Shoo i got some Mario kart to play."

"Don-Tron please???? Mikey and Raphie are getting a bit worried, Not me though." Nardo then waltzed right into Donnies room and leaned on the chair that donnie was currently occupying, watching donnie play.

"Oof, You suck at this! You're in 6th place!" Donnie scoffed and scooted more over to the side where leo wasn't.

Oh my god can this headache get any worse! his throat felt dry and sore and his body ached.

"Donnie so like i know that you don't wanna get out of your depressing room, but like IMAGINE how Mikey would feel after you COMPLETLY waste his food by not eating it. After all the time he spent slaving away in the kitchen to cook you a meal! just for you not to eat? SHAME ON YOU..."

Donnie knew what his brother was trying to do. But at the same time......He didn't want to hurt mikey's feelings.. soo..

"Alright fine! You win this time nardo! " Donnie got up from his chair with his weighted blanket falling off his lap. He discarde his nintendo switch and stretched for a bit before slowly making his way to the kitchen, with Leon following behind.

halfway there donnie realizes he doesn't have any of his tech, phone, or his battle shell on.

He needs his phone.

Donnie stops in his tracks and beelines it to his room.

"Woah hey donnie where you're goin? i thought you were finally gonna get out of your cave? " Leo grabs Donnies wrist
Donnie turns his head to look at him in the most serious expression he can manage.

"Leo, I need my phone."

Leo gave donnie a deadpan face.

"Dude, you can survive literally 20 minutes without your phone donald."

"I physically cannot go into that kitchen without my phone, i bring my phone everywhere with me!" Donnie whines.

"Stop being such a Ipad kid! C'mon let's go." Leo then drags donnie to the kitchen..

"My dearest brother you do not understand! If i do not have my phone how will i be able to see if anybody texted me?! or OR how will I see if my favorite write updated his newest chapter! GASP! What if our dearest sister texted me in need of assistance!" Donnie gritted his teeth with frustration.

"Donnie mi Hermano, Relax! You're acting like the world is gonna explode if you don't have your phone!"

"But what if-" Leo playfully bonked Donnies head with his other free hand. " Hush now brother, Just relax. I am pretty sure you wont need your phone for a trip to the kitchen." Leo smirked at him.

Donnie glared at Leo. But Finally they were at the kitchen where Mikey and Raph are currently are in.

"The Greatest Brother has arrived! Oh and Donnie is here too." Leo then went over to the table and took a seat right next to Raph who was there keeping Mikey company.

"Donnie!" Mikey lit up when he saw his older brother Donnie." I didn't think you would actually come! Here i made you a little something" Mikey went over and passed him some soup while donnie was taking a seat next to the other side of raph. Donnie quitely muttered a thanks to Mikey for his kindness. Mikey quickly sat down next to Leo and started to chatter up a converstation.

Donnie wasn't listening though. he was just zoning out staring at his bowl. The steam that was coming off of the soup was starting to burn Donnie's face but it was barely noticeable. He finally noticed how many stains there were on this table..

ew.

His mide felt foggy like if he was almost in a dream and everything was slow, but at the same time thoughts were running in his head at 100 mph. maybe he is in a-

A rough hand lands on his shoulder.

He was quickly snapped out of his trance.

"Donnie? You good there?" Raph was looking at him with concern in his eyes.

Donnie cleared his throat. " Ah yes! I am operating just fine thank you for asking!" Donatello adverted his gaze away from his older brothers eyes.

"Alright Don...Raph is just a bit worried about you..y"know?" Raph took his hand off of Donnie's shoulder and crossed his arms. "So is Mikey."

"I- I know Raph..Leo told me about it. But do not worry Raphael! i will be in top condition soon! after this illness passes by.." Raph let out a soft chuckle. " Yeah but still! Take care of yourself Donnie!" Raph took out his phone and started to scroll through mindlessly. Donnie looked over at that phone.

"Raph??"

"Yeah don?"

....

"Can I play games on your phone..??"

"Ohmygod-" Raph groans "Don't you have your own phone Donnie??"

"Yeahhh... BUT IT'S TOO FAR AWAYYY!" Donnie whined "And my legs hurt from making that trenchrouse journey from my room and the kitchen!" Donnie added dramatically

"Donnie stop letting your inner theatre kid out."

Don rolled their eyes and got up from his chair to go to his bedroom and get his phone back.

"Donnie! where ya goin? " Leo questioned.

"Just going to get my phone Nardo."

"See i knew you couldn't be away from your phone for even 20 minutes! OOh Raph!" Leo had turned to face his older brother raph "
"Raph you owe 20 bucks!" leo smirked. Raph turned to glare a Leo
"You guys betted on tha-! Y'know what, i should've expected that. " Donnie WAS about to continue his way back to his room but then Leo had something in his hand.

Donnie's phone.

That bi-

"NARDO!!" donnie sprinted over to where Leo was sitting

"Give me it back Leon!!" Donnie was furios, Donnie kept on trying to snatch his phone away from Leos grasp.

"Oh what? GIve you what back mi hermano?" Leon taunted

"Yknow what! My phone!! GIve it-"

"Im sorry my twin brother, but you have to be more specific than that!" Leo smirked

"My Phone!! Isweartogod I WILL BURN ALL YOUR THINGS TO THE GROUND!" Donnie screamed.

Leo then took one of his katanas and made one of his famous blue portals and chucked Donnie's phone in.

"What Phone?" Leo turned to Donnie, batting his eyes innocently.

....

"NOOOOOOOO-" Donnie ran straight into the portal giving chase for his phone.

"Donnie NO!" Raph got up and chased after Donnie.

Leo then shut the portal with his katana and then walked off.

MIkey who had witness all of this happen just sat there confused on what just happened.

Mikey got up and chased after his older brother.
"Uh Leo are they going to be okay..?"

"Mi hermano Don't even worry about it! they'll be back in a hour i think."

Oh how he was so wrong.

Chapter Text

When Donnie first got through the portal to retrieve his precious phone He was not expecting to fall down into the depths of the sewers head first.

That was the last thing Donatello remembers.

----------------

Raphael immediately goes after his younger brother Don The first thing he sees though was Donnie falling into the dark green depths into the sewer, it's long drop and it seems donnie was falling headfirst.

This is very very bad-

Raph then realizes he was falling too.

He tries to grab donnie's wrist but that's pretty hard while falling to your death-

Finally after a few attempts, he finally manages to grab donnie and pulls him up to his chest so Raph could take the hard fall instead of donnie.

Raph quickly flips onto his back so his shell can take most of the damage, Raph landed onto the hard cold floor with a hard thunk.

He turned his head to check on donnie, he saw his younger brother in his arms unscathed.

he let out a relieved sigh.

Raph could probably take a small 5 minute nap for a bit...

what Raph didn't know, that it would be a 2 hour nap instead.

-----------------

Raph slowly opened his eyes. 

His body ached as he tried to sit up from the dirty, cold floor.

He took in a deep breathe and it felt he was breathing air for the first time in his life. Raph then noticed the missing weight that was supposed to be on top of his plastron.

Immediately he snapped out of the groggy state of waking up and started to panic a bit, just a bit.

......

OKAY RAPH IS PANICKING A LOT, WHERE IS DONNIE!?!?!?!-

Was raph alone? 

Was Raph seperated somehow!?

How could this happen?!? Raph heartbeat was going what felt like 100mph

He couldn't breathe properly.

one moment he was with his family but now.

RAPH IS ALONE.

TIME TO PANI-

A figure in the water caught Raphs eye.

Raph Freezes and slowly turns his head to face then mysterious thing in the water.

......

Well at least he wasn't alone now..?

Raph eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness, And he stared at the thing?? for a while.

The only thing visible was the figures head and white eyes. The figure started to slowly submerged itself back into the dark depths of the water.

"Wait no! Weird creepy thingy come back!" Raph got up and went up to the edge. He came closer to the water and scanned the dark waters trying to see signs of the creature.

Suddenly the water sloshed around and then sharp teeth and claws go for Raphs face.

Raph reacted immediately he stumbled back and trying to keep his balance and trying to not get shredded by sharp teeth.

The weird creature was able to latch onto raphaels right arm, sharp teeth digging into Raphs scales.

Raph let out a hiss of pain and he flayed his arm around in attempt to get the thing off of him.

but that only made it latch onto his arm more. claws were starting to dig into his arm to get a good grip.

Raph tried to use his free arm to pry the jaws off of his arm but could not succeed.

"Get off, You oversized pancake TURTLE!!" Raph growled.

.....

wait a minute, Turtle? Pancake?

Raph actually started to focus on the creatures that was currently biting onto his arm for dear life.

Purple mask?

and a softshell?

Was this Donnie?!? 

Raph a wave of relief washed over him, now he knew where donnie was and he wasn't alone. raph knew he recognzied that big forehead!

But now there's another problem. Donnie was currently trying to fight Raph for some reason??? First things First, he needed donnie to let go of his arm.

"Donnie could you PLEASE let go of my arm!?' Raph was still flaying his arm around in a attempt to get him off, but it seems it's not working.(Obviously)

Raph had already tried to pry his jaws away from him, so he couldn't do that. THINK RAPH! THINK! Oh! maybe he could just wait for his brother to stop biting after he calms down a little. Raph looks over to the softshell.

Yeah.. it did not look like he was going to let go anytime soon..

Chapter Text

Okay Leo was starting to get a little bit worried..

..................

Okay he was REALLY REALLY worried..

  It's been about 3ish hours since he last saw his older brother and twin. He thought they would be back by now but they weren't. 

Leo stared up at the ceiling of his room. he couldn't breathe.

he can't move.

He was frozen in place thinking about the things that could've happened to his brothers. He has already tried to call Raph and Donnie at least about 9 times by now.

And each time they didn't answer

And Raph ALWAYS answers his phone.

Where are they?? They could be at Señor Huesos place. Or they could be trapped being suffocated. They could be fighting a villain. Or his brothers were bleeding out. DId they get caught by humans? What if they were being experimented by some creepy sciencetist. That portal that he made could have gone anywhere. They could be on the other half of the world for god sakes!!

And it would be his  fault.

HE made that portal. HE would be responsible if anything happened to them. 

He could feel sweat trickle down his neck. 

Suddenly he was very aware of everything in his room. 

How he was laying on the cold hard ground with garbage around him. He could feel all the food crumbs in the ground and how he somehow hot and cold at the same time?? And how he could hear his little brother playing some music from down the hall from him.

Did Raph leave his phone on silent or something?? Or did he accidentally break his phone with his clumsy hands of his??   

WHERE WERE THEY!?!? They could be bleeding out somewhere or be BIg Mamas arena. Mikey would be devastated if something ever happened to them. 

His thoughts were racing around his head he couldn't breathe. Why couldn't he breathe??

It's so hot in here??

Raph and Donnie could be lying in ditch somewhere dea-

. . . . . . . 

oh my god. 

oh my god he is acting like raph..

Leo was not trying to get a raph chasm like him! He's too young and pretty for that! 

They're  probably dying right now.

NAAHHH

Donnie and Raph were fine! They're just being slow or something they're probably at the hidden city getting somethings! 

Leo then proceeded to get up from the gross floor and plopped himself down in his bed and took out his phone to mindlessly scroll through his phone.

Damn i need to clean up in here once in while.

Leo was sure that his twin and Raph were fine. Why was he acting so bizzare?? That was cringe.

He was sure that Donnie and Raph were coming back soon. 

Hopefully.

-------------------

Mikey was drawing in his sketchbook with his playlist blasting through his speakers that he got from the dollar store.

Mikey was sitting in his beanbag chair trying to get his mind off of his two missing brothers. He knew that they're probably both fine.. but still! It's been three hours since he last saw them. Mikey knows that he should trust Leo and just wait for them to come back but he just..couldn't!! He had a feeling that something had happened  he doesn't know why but he just has a feeling...a bad feeling. Mikey got up from the bean bag chair and discareded his sketchbook. And went over to his older brothers room. Leo's room.

Mikey went down the hallway and knocked three times on Leo's door

"Leo?"

"Come in!" Mikey heard leo said.

Mikey entered Leo's room and saw nardo sitting on his lightning mcqueen bed on his phone without a care in the world.

Although Mikey didn't expect nothing more of his older brother.

It was a mess in his brothers room. There was trash everywhere and it smelled like pumpkin spice in here for some reason????

"So What brings my favorite little brother to my humble abode?" Mikey went over to Leo's bed and sat at the edge.

"Leo..i'm worried about Raph and Donnie.."

Leo sighed 

"Mikey what did i tell you? They will be back, They're probably hanging out in the hidden city somewhere." Mikey looked down 

"But Leo i have a feeling something might've happened to them! Y'know?" He looked up to Leo.

"Mikey. Reelaxx we have the whole place for ourselves for a bit! Hey why don't you and I watch a movie together! What do you say?" Leo smiled down at mikey.

"..Yeah alright! Can we make some popcorn!" 

"Yea we can make some popcorn! Go make some i'll be with you in a sec" 

Mikey nodded and went out of Leo's room. He went down the hallway and maked his way over to the kitchen.

He took out a bad of popcorn and ploped it into the microwave. 

Mikey sat down but then noticed a phone.

A phone that has a red phone case.

MIkey grabbed the phone and turned it on

It was Raphs phone. 

it had tons of notifications of missed calls from Leo.

Chapter Text

Goes to show that Raph wasn't very patient. At all. Raph and Donnie were currently lost in the sewer system that smells as if a colony of rats were down here and died and stank up the whole damn place! (no offense to splinter of course.) 

And also Donnie was biting Raph-

That is not good.. that's going to be a problem. a HUGE problem... What if Donnie has rabies or something?! Raph can never be too sure.. He's starting to believe that Leo was right.. Donnie is definitely possessed by a demon. Or if Donnie was a demon.

Raph being.. well.. not that patient, wanted to just knock his little brother out so his arm can stop being mauled. But he can't just do that!! that's mean, and he would never EVER think about using force against his brothers- 

Wait he just thought about that right now-

Well it's not like he would!! He's just.... looking at his options! But Raph really needs to figure out on how to get back to the lair and on why Donnie is being all.. weird and biting him.

Knocking his brother out was his... 3rd option, the first one being trying to yank Donnie off of his arm.. which obviously didn't work. So now..

Raph can try to just.. talk and somehow convince Donnie to let go of his arm before Donnie takes his arm off.

that shouldn't be so hard!

Right?

RIGHT?!?! 

Hopefully it isn't..

Hopefully..

"DONNIE! if you let go of my arm i'll.. uhm.. I'll get you money!? Uranium!? is it called uranium!? GAH! Donnie you know that I don't know what freaking Uranium is!! uhh- New headphones maybe!?! I swear to the almighty supreme pizza if you don't let go, I WILL SHOVE YOUR HEAD-" Donnie then proceeds to tighten his grip on Raph's arm, holding on for dear life for some reason. Raph hisses in pain and tries to take in deep breaths to calm himself down. 

Raph then decides to sit down on the cold, hard, covered in mystery goo that smells oddly like onions and ketchup, DISGUSTING, floor. With Donnie still chomping down on his arm painfully.

"Donnie, talk to me buddy! like- just say something!?" 

In response Donnie lets out a hiss and a clicking noise.

"...Donnie, you know that I can't understand ya if you're not speaking english. I don't speak.. whatever you're saying." Raph said with a deadpan expression. This is getting difficult. 

Raph looks around the dimly lit sewers trying to find anything and I mean ANYTHING, to get his little brother off of his arm. At this point Raph was debating whether to just cut his arm off and leave it to Donnie. But of course.. There isn’t anything sharp around.. Just caca water, rats (no offense to splinter once again.) and other disgusting things that smell horrendous.  

What the hell is Raph going to do?

(this is what is probably wouldve looked like 💀)

Chapter Text

Mikey stood in the kitchen silently, looking down at the red phone that undoubtedly belongs to Raph, the kitchen lights being dimmed down creating an eerie energy around the area. 

Mikey reaches out and grabs Raph’s phone and turned it on.

So many messages from Leo. 

recently too.

…Ah, so it turns out Leo IS worried about Donnie and Raph. He just doesn’t want to show it. 

typical honestly. 

Mikey sits down in a chair and just sees how many messages Leo left for their older brother. Mikey is really.. REALLY.. starting to think that maybe Donnie and Raph aren’t just taking a leisurely stroll in the mystic city. And that maybe Nardo is a huge hypocrite for saying that he shouldn’t worry but he literally sent 99+ messages to Raph. Something tells Mikey that Leo is worried. 

Mikey takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh and places Raphie’s phone back down on the table. 

He is definitely going to try to make Leo talk about what’s happening.

But nonetheless, Mikey waits to hear the microwave ding so he can take out the popcorn. And soon enough the popcorn is done pooping and Mikey takes the bag out of the microwave, making sure to NOT smell the fresh popcorn because he read that smelling the popcorn after it’s done could cause cancer. Mikey read that from some random ass website that was sketchy. 

But he is not taking any chances if it was true!!! (Don’t believe everything you read in the internet guys-)

…..

..maybe he should try to talk to Leo during the movie about Donnie and Raph being missing. 

But then again.. Nardo could be right. Those two are just taking some to bond or something. 

Mikey highly doubts that for some reason.  

“Mikey!! I can smell the popcorn is ready! Come over here!!”

Leonardo shouts from the other room.

Mikey sighs.

He really does hope that his older brother is right. 

Mikey really hopes. 

Chapter Text

Raph is.. is so tired.

Raph is exhausted. 

His muscles ache, his head is pounding and there’s strong jaws clamping down on his arm and refusing to let go. 

He’s been sitting on the hard concrete ground for so long that his bum was starting to go numb.

why you ask?

Because Donnie was deciding to be a little sh!#t-

Raph shouldn’t be thinking of his little brother that way. Because it’s obvious that something weird is going on with Don and as his job as the older brother, Raph needs to find a way to keep Donnie safe and fix the problem. 

But the snapping turtle is getting frustrated.

…very frustrated.

Everyone needs a break sometimes from their little siblings. Because let’s be honest, they’re a pain to deal with. Especially when your little brother is biting your arm hard enough to break skin and you don’t want to do anything to hurt him but at the same it is really starting to hurt-

Raph takes a deep breath through the nose and out of the mouth.

It’s time to do something about this whole situation instead of sitting like a boulder.

Donnie was still gnawing on Raph’s forearm like if it was a piece of goddamn fried chicken and clawing at his skin. Raphael lets out a grunt before reaching over with his free, undamaged arm, to the back of Donnie’s head to yank at his little brother’s mask tails (Y’know those two ribbons sticking out his mask I tried to copy and image to show y’all but failed) which causes the soft shell turtle to screech at the sudden disturbance, not at all expecting to be yanked back like that. Fortunately for Raph, that managed to dislodge Donnie’s jaws. But at the cost of a huge chunk of the snapper turtle’s flesh going with it. Now Raph is bleeding. I mean, he was always bleeding but not he’s bleeding.. bleeding. A lot of bleeding.

a lot of bleeding.

Raph now has his arm free from his little brother’s teeth and quickly moves to stand up. The soft shelled turtle reacts quickly and scatters back a few feet, before snarling and hissing at Raphael. And then the purple masked turtle decides to lunge again. 

Raph moves out of the way, dodging the attack from Donnie. 

okay.. Raph swore to never ever under any circumstances to hurt his brother ever again. 

But right now, it’s an acceptation.

And it’s not like he’s planning to go hurting Donnie!! 

….

…Just planing to restrain him. Which is much more better than throwing hands with the soft shell.

Raph suddenly lunges forward towards Donnie, quickly tackling the soft shell turtle to the ground forcing him on his plastron. If Donnie was not in this.. weird bitey, hissy, hostile state. He would’ve immediately start complaining how dirty the sewers floor are. Maybe Donnie still would complain even if he was in this.. state. But Raph just saw him swim through icky, stinky sewer caca water. So.. probably not. 

Raph pins Donnie to the ground, still being mindful of Donnie’s fragile soft shell, and tries to carefully restrain his little brother’s arms.

”Heyyy.. buddy. Heyyy, I think you just need a nap.. yeah you’re real upset..” (Raph is using that voice he used to talk to Donnie over call when Donnie was being cooked by Rupert in episode Donnie’s gifts, you know that voice please tell me you know what I mean but that voice ) Raph sighs and glances around the dark sewer tunnel to see if there was anything of use. But it’s a damn sewer. There’s nothing there to help Raph with Donnie.

Okay this is going to be a LOONG day. Or night. Raph isn’t too sure how many hours have passed. It could Wednesday for all he knows. Eh, time is just a thing made by human perception. Or something like that. Raph is too tired to think.

So he’ll make a fist and not a plan. 

Donnie is still growling and thrashing around underneath Raph, and even trying to crane his neck to take a chomp out of the snapping turtles arm. Raph doesn’t let him, of course. He already has a huge chunk of flesh missing from other arm. No need to make another wound. But overall, Donnie is making a huge ruckus. 

Okay, okay.

This is fine.

Raph will worry about Donnie hurting him or himself right now. 

Raph can worry about the possibility of getting an infection on his bloody wound on his arm later.

it’s not like the sewers are full of germs or bacteria, dookie water, rats, mold. 

YEAH NO, THIS IS FINE. 

Raph will get through this, he’ll deal with this like a BOSS. 

He hopes. 

He really does hope.

Heyyyyy

i know I haven’t updated this fic in a long time that’s because lately my life has been very busy with some hospital stuff psych ward stuff and recently getting into a new relationship which is actually great 

AND I KNOE ENGLISH A LOT MORE!1!!!

but please be patient with me 

I am releasing a new chapter next week stay tune for thatt

Chapter Text

Mikey is currently having a slight meltdown, just a small tiny one. He just has this gut feeling that something went horribly wrong, the portal Leo made could lead to anywhere in the world! LITERALLY ANYWHERE! and even if they were around New York, a lot of mutants and yokai genuinely hate him and his family, they have a big target on their heads most of the time. 

Mikey shakes those thoughts out of his head. It’s fine, Raph and Donnie can certainly take care of themselves. Raph can easily take down anyone if he really wanted to, and Donnie doesn’t mind using legal force. Actually, each time the softshell fights, he purposely uses lethal force each time. Enjoys it, even. Like the sadistic demon he is.. maybe Leo is right about Donnie being possessed by some evil spirit. Okay focus. But half of the time they’re always there to stop him from doing so. They’re crime fighters, heroes, saviors!

Not murders. 

But Donnie sure does want to seem like one. 

Okay, back to his original train of thought. Raphie and Donnie were fine. Besides, It's not out of the norm for one of the brothers to randomly disappear half of the day on some side quest. 

COUGH COUGH- Leo-  COUGH- 

so, maybe everything is okay. 

maybe. 

he’ll stop thinking about it. 

Mikey quickly gets the bowl of popcorn out of the microwave, strolling through the kitchen and to the makeshift living room. Pops wasn’t in his chair, he said he was going out with April for something, like I said, random side quests. The orange turtles plops down on a bean bag, taking a handful of the buttered popcorn and shoving it in his mouth and using his other hand to numbly scroll through his phone while he waits for Leo to come out. 

it’s not long before the blue slider struts out of his room and huffing down onto another beanbag beside Mikey as the orange turtles puts down his phone. 

“So, you know, how come we BARELY hang out, just the two of us. Without the other two stinkies. I’m a joy to be around.” He shined a smile at his little brother. 

Mikey raises a non existent brow. 

“Maybe, because each time I go to your room for anything ever, you yell at me to get out of your ‘sanctuary’ and that if I don’t, you would, and I quote; I going kill myself and I’m putting your name on my suicide note and blaming it on you.’ End quote.” Mikey deadpans.

Leo stares at him, before smacking him with the nearest pillow. Mikey yelps and before he could retaliate the attack, his older brother grabs hold of him, putting him a headlock for funsies. 

“I have NEVER uttered those words in my life. You offended me, dear sir!” The red slider declares with a tone of fake innocence. But he most definitely has. But he’s not going to admit that. 

Mikey struggles in his grip, managing to push his brother off. 

“I will draw you as a Boyfriends character, do NOT try me.” The box turtle threatens. he has the drawing skills to do it. 

Leo backs off, for now. Settling back in his own beanbag. 

“Anywhizzle, Shall we watch all of the Jupiter Jim movies all in one night?” Standing up and moving to turn the TV on.

Mikey nods, slumping more into his beanbag. “It’s like you read my mind.”

———————————-

Five hours into watching every single Jupiter Jim movie, it was starting to get late. Like really late.

Mikey was starting to nod off as the movie continues playing on in the background, meanwhile Leo is still invested in the movie. But, once in a while, the slider checks his phone. For any texts or calls back from either of his brothers.

None.

Zero.

Nada.

Leo just takes a breath and puts his phone back down again, glancing over at Mikey. At least he knew where one of his brothers are. Pops came back from his little adventure after four hours in the movie marathon. April came with the rat, staying only for a little while before having to leave. They both asked for Donnie and Raph.

Leo really didn’t have an answer to give them. So he just shrugged and said they were out and about.

But now, it’s late at night. Not a single message from neither of them.

He brushes it off for now.

Chapter Text

Raph feels like he’s been wandering these sewers for hours, his feet ache from walking on the hard concrete ground. Barely any light of any kind.

So far it’s been himself, the sound of water sloshing about in the sewers, darkness and the scent of his irritation stench. Yes, he has an irritation stench, he has a fear stench so he’s going to have that too!

Also Donnie.

The soft-shell makes a clicking sound at the back of his throat as Raph drags him with him. Donnie awakened a few hours after the incident of Raph very reluctantly.. knocking his brother out.

Raph takes no accountability for that, in his defense it was the only to not get his face ripped off.

The two turtle brothers wander the sewers (well Raph is, Donnie is just getting dragged along) trying to find some way back. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, Raph knew the sewers like the back of his hand. But these sewers were different, like from some different part of the city. Circles and circles they go in these sewers.

Ralph’s injured arm was now comfortably numb, the dried blood coating his scales from the bite wound that Donnie has inflicted. A grumble comes from his stomach, he didn’t even get to eat his breakfast before everything. This sucks. Maybe that’s why Donnie tried to literally eat his arm. God, speaking of Donnie. He doesn’t even know what to do with him, or what to do to fix him. If Donnie was acting normal.. He would’ve already figured something out, or be just as confused as he was. But even that was better than the purple turtle trying to bite out his jugular each time he puts his guard down.

THIS DOES FUCKING SUCK. Raph misses his bed, his home, and not being lost in foreign sewer tunnels.

Each turn and each corner is the exactly the same, if he didn’t know any better he’d immediately think he was stuck in some weird time-stuck maze. Hah.

Raph walks.

And walks.

….

AND WALKS.

Raph let’s out a frustrated groan, stopping to sit down in the darkness and just letting Donnie dive back into the sewer water he so desperately wants to go back in. Raph doesn’t even know why he likes It so much. Donnie would scoff and turn his nose up at the disgusting water, but here is practically trying to drown in it. Raph watches as his feral brother splashes back into the water, splashing everywhere.

Raph stands back up and slams his fist into the wall, causing some dust and pebbles to fall.

A flicker of, something, when his fist impacts onto the wall. Like a glitch.
