The space traveler

Chapter 11 - Breaking things off

Donnie - "Okay so... let me just catch up to it, to you, it's been... what? Over a year? A year and half?"

Milo - "3 years, Donatello. It's been 3 freaking years!"

Donnie - "T-THREE YEARS?!?!! W-what? How?!"

Milo - "....."

Donnie - "O-ok! Ok... let me just... gosh..."

Raph - "Don, what the heck is he talking about?" Raph whispered nervously

Donnie - "I think I'm understanding what's going on..."

Milo - "What is it?..."

Donnie - "There was... a time rift in dimension X, I wasn't able to look into how long it was but... maybe something like this happened to you around here?"

Milo - "So you're saying that... wait, how am I supposed to trust anything you're saying?!"

Donnie - "Just look at us closely and then look at yourself! You're almost a full grown adult already, you've gotten taller than me, isn't that a bit of a clue?"

Milo - "Ah.... oh... ok, you have a bit ofa point."

Leo - "Three years... how did you made it this far? Why did you never came home?"

Milo - "Huh?"

Leo - "How did you get here, Mikey?"

Milo - "Milo."

Leo - "What?"

Milo - "It's my name, I changed it to Milo."

Leo - "Why on Earth would you change your name?"

Milo - "It felt right for me."

Leo - "I... you know what, I won't even ask, just tell me how you got here."

Raph - "Milo? That's one heck of a bad name."

Leo - "RAPH!! This isn't the time."

Milo - "No worries, Leo. Since my life decisions seem to bother you so much, I'll just leave, I don't owe you a thing, not my time, not my stress, I'm done dealing with you." Milo said, already getting up from his seat, ready to leave.

Leo - "Wait, Mikey! Can't we just_"

Milo - "I'M TRYING, LEO! I'M REALLY TRYING! BUT YOU GUYS JUST KEEP GETTING ON MY NERVES! I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU THE SATISFACTION OF ANYTHING!! I WAS THE ONE WHO STRUGGLED, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ACT SO ENTITLED TO TELL ME HOW WRONG I DECIDED TO LIVE MY LIVE! YOU WEREN'T EVEN AROUND!!"

Leo - "But we are here now! And we want to help you!"

Milo - "Who said I even WANT any help?! What could you possibly help me with?!? I already had my life sorted out by myself, I don't NEED YOU anymore!! Get this through your darn head!"

Leo - "Why are you treating us that way?!"

Milo - "I'm fed up with you, that's why!!"

Officer - "Alright now, settle down everyone!"

...

Officer - "Mr. Theseus, do you really wish to leave this meeting?"

Milo - "...I don't think I can stay here any longer."

Officer - "Than you are more than welcome to leave."

Leo - "Wait, WHAT?!"

Officer - "If push comes to shove, you boys can resolve this matter in private with Mr. Milo Theseus outside the police grounds, but for now, let's release Milo while we finish the documentation on the three of you, is that ok?"

Donnie - "But we NEED to talk to our brother, we NEED to_"

Officer - "What you NEED to do right now is to calm yourselves down and give him some space, you boys can talk with him later after we're done in here."

Raph - "What the heck is going on?! How did things end up like this?!"

Leo - "Relax, Raph! Let's just... we just... *sigh* the officer is right, let's try to talk to him again tomorrow."

Officer - "Good, now, Mr. Theseus, would you like to... oh... he already left."

Donnie - "W-what?! Already?!"

Leo - "Leave it be, D."

Officer - "Well... I can only hope the best for you guys, I'll be taking my leave now, I'll come back to inform you when you can be discharged, ok?"

Leo - *sigh* "Fine, Officer."

Officer - "Very well, take your time to cool your heads, I'll be back shortly."

Donnie - "O-ok, thank you, Officer."
