Work Text:
It was a late night in the middle of October, chilly air warning the people of New York that winter was on its way.
The boys were out on a patrol, even though there really wasn’t anyone to stop anymore.
Although, the purple dragons were doing something big today. They had split into two groups. Leo and Don, and Raph and Mikey.
Surprisingly, Raph hadn’t complained about it. He’d just smiled, punched Mike lightly in the shoulder, and ran off, leaving the little one to catch up.
When he’d finally caught up, Raph was standing at the edge of a rooftop, laughing.
“Oh boy this is gonna be fun.”
Then he turns to Mikey.
“And I think you’ll enjoy it too.”
This earns a confused look from Mike, who is pulled to the edge of the roof.
Raph points out into the distance, to a building not far away. There’s several purple dragons on the roof, and even more on the ground.
“That’s one of their base of operations. I’ve got a plan to stop those bone heads, but I need you for it. You in?”
Mikey nods, excited that Raph was trusting him with this plan.
Raph flashes a smile and begins explaining, “We need to sneak inside. Basically, we’re gonna set the place on fire—“
“Wait, wait, wait, wait. Fire?”
“Calm down, we’ll get the people out first, we’re just going to burn the building and materials inside it. You got a problem with that?”
At the mention of burning the place down, Mikey’s smirk grew into something almost unrecognizable, then he shook his head fervently.
“I love this plan.”
“Good. So after we sneak in, we knock out all the people in the building……”

(An hour and a half later)
Mikey and Raph were sitting up on the rooftop from earlier and laughing when the other two found them.
“Hey guys!” Leo called, which causes the two to turn. “How’d the hunt go?”
Mikey doesn’t answer his question, just turns his head back to the vast expanse of city in front of him.
Donnie notices smoke rising in the distance, and his curiosity wins. He steps to the edge of the roof, and glances down.
Across the street was a burning building. There were piles of purple dragons lying outside of the fire, most of them still unconscious, but the few awake ones were trying to drag friends further from the blaze.
Leo steps next to him, also taking in the sight. Behind them, Mikey and Raph share a look, snickering.
Raph finally answers Leo’s first question.
“Oh I’d say the hunt went well. I mean if you don’t mind the charred edges.”
Don and Leo flip around, facing the other two. Leo’s mouth is agape, and Donnie’s eyes are wide.
“You didn’t…..”
Raph and Mikey share another laugh, the glint in Raph’s eyes showing in Mike’s too.
As they turn and head towards the fire escape, Mikey calls back over his shoulder.
“We did!”
They share a high five and disappear from view.
