Symbiosis

|Chapter 22|

POV Mikey:

Pushing up the manhole cover with my only free hand, I looked around the surfaces, noticing no threat or humans in sight, adjusting Jay as he rested his head on my shoulder with his hands wrapped as tightly as he could around my neck, "Alright coast is clear-"

*Vrrrrrroooooommm*

Ducking my head, I felt the entire ground shake as I dropped the manhole cover, holding on tightly to Jay's hands. Pushing the cover up again, I looked all around the area, noticing that it was clear this time, "Okay, now the coast is clear", moving the cover out of the way, I stepped out the way, and helped both April and Donnie out of the sewers, pushing the cover back into place, "Mikey, please help she won't stop crying no matter what I do-", Krisa cried loudly as she looked around the area, searching for Leo, I turned towards Donnie, noticing him hold his arm, "Ow, ow, it hurts so bad", setting Jay on the ground, I opened my satchel, and picked up Krisa, "You are not putting her in there- you'll be alright, Donnie. I'll get you fixed up, and Mikey I'll hold her just until we get somewhere safe", nodding my head, I tightened the strap over my shoulder and picked Jay back up, resting him on my back. I reached into Leo's satchel and pulled out my T-phone, trying to call Leo, trying...to get ahold of my brother. "Leo, you there? Come on, bro. Poke your head out of your shell and pick up! He's not answering"

"It's my fault. Man, I shouldn't have argued with Leo. Now he's gone-", listening to Donnie, I watched as a tiny pink triangle started to form, reaching for the two, I pulled the straight towards the nearest spot, covering my mouth as I peeked through the glass, "I don't think they saw us"

"Leo was right. We should've gotten out of the city while we had a chance-"

"Not without my dad and the others. Come on, guys", nodding my head, I looked back at Donnie, he still looked worried as he stared down at the ground, 'These two haven't been without Leo ever when they awake-", tightening my hold as Jay leaned on my shell, his arms and legs wrapped tightly around me, but all I could listen to was the sound of Krisa's sobs that filled the air turning into quiet tired whimpers, "We can't leave without him!-"

"Wait since when did Leo save two little mutants?", peaking over the window, I stood up and adjusted Jay on my back, "Not our Leo, a Leo from another dimension"

"Wait what?! When-"

"We don't have time, April. Can you lead the way to your place? I promise when the time comes I'll explain", I looked over towards Donnie as he continued to hold his arm, "Plus if we find him, he's his team medic, he'll be able to look at Donnie's arm", April nodded his head and stood up just enough, peaking over the car, April waved us over and raced out of the alleyway, still holding onto my phone, I scrolled through my contacts, and pressed my finger on Raph's, watching as the phone rung, I placed it right next to my ear.

Raph: "Mikey, where are you?"

Mikey: "On the way to April's apartment. Meet us there, dude!"

Raph: "Roger that"

Shoving my phone into my pocket, I caught up with April, "Raph knows where to meet us"

"Good!", April quickened her steps as we ran down the streets, looking around any openings we passed through, I tried to look for Leo, looking at street after street, but there was no sign of him, I listened to the destruction around us, the screams and noises of demolition filled the air, I couldn't hear him, I wanted to scream, to yell out for him, but that would cause attention on us, and Donnie's not in any good shape to fight, so I did the only thing I could think over, "April! Take Donnie to your place! Donnie send me her apartments location when you get there-"

"What about you?!-"

"I'm going to look for Leo, he went out after he woke up and we still haven't seen any sign of him!", slowing down, I looked for the closest fire escape, walking further and further from the group, "No er- Mikey we need to go to April's place. After we all meet up, we will look for Leo-"
