Dagger From the Mirror (ROTTMNT/TMNT 2012 Crossover Fic)

Divide by Two, Divide by Two...

Finding the hideout was the easy part.

Little Mikey ended up remembering where a ton of Kraang bases were located at, a fair amount of which none of this world's turtles had known even existed. He hadn't been inside all of them, but he could still tell Donnie whether or not the ones he had been in had holding cells. This was a major advantage for their plans.

With this information in mind, Donnie had been able to considerably narrow down the possible hideouts. It only took him a couple hours to have only five options left, and then he checked camera feeds around each area to see if any had gotten any "deliveries" lately, or had a truck that could fit a giant snapping turtle in the back of it enter the lot. It didn't take much longer than that for him to find out the other Raphael's location. One abandoned building on the far north side of town had a suspicious looking van pull in only an hour after their battle on the docks. Even better? Little Mikey even swore that that was the same building they held his brother in the last time he went savage. He had to be there.

And with that final unknown variable solved for, they were ready for the mission.

The team left consisted of all four of the brothers, plus their new Mikey, both Aprils, and Casey. A big group, a size that Leo didn't particularly like, but that was okay. His plan would require splitting into two groups later on anyways... With any luck, the number would work in their favor then, when each group had enough people to work with.

They landed two rooftops away from the base not long after leaving the lair. Tall and gray with a few boarded up and broken windows, it looked like a completely normal abandoned building from the outside—one that they wouldn't have spared a second glance if they hadn't known the truth. This was where they temporarily kept their prisoners before they could transport them out of New York City, along with a few unknown functions that New Mikey had mentioned but hadn't known the details of. Hidden inside and locked away, this was where they would find the other Raphael.

"Last time he got like this, they had Raph stay in one place and took me to him," Little Mikey said, eyes locked on the hideout. He sighed, shaking his head, "But that was because I was already close by. I don't know where Donnie or Leo are, but they could be pretty far. What if they aren't gonna take him to them at all?"

"They would have to," Donnie countered, "Your Raph is useless to the Kraang in the state you're describing. Considering all the trouble they went through in the first place to get him, I doubt they're going to just give up on him because you're gone."

"Yeah, that makes sense... I guess you're right."

"Of course I am," Donnie replied as he pulled out a large, folded up piece of paper and knelt on the ground. He spread it out over the concrete, waving everyone over to crowd around him as he began to point out various points on the map.

"This building was constructed in 1982, and was last in real use in the early 2000s before some partnership bought it, one I've found has often been associated with the Kraang. This is a layout of the building from right before they bought it. I'm willing to bet these old floorplans have been updated since then, but it should at least give us a starting point in what we're looking for."

Leo peered over New April's shoulder at the paper, frowning, before an idea popped into his head.

"Little Mikey, do you think you can see if you can remember anything about what the inside looks like? Can you label anything on the map?"

The New Mikey pursed his lips, looking up and off to the side in deep thought, glancing back to the paper ever so often. "Oh!" he shouted, snapping his fingers and grinning. "Yep, I can!"
