Saving Her - Michelangelo

7: Not Her Knight - Mikey

"Alright team! We need a plan!" Leo exclaims, hitting his fist against the palm of his hand.

It's close to eleven at night. Dawn's already gone to bed, Master Splinter is meditating in the dojo, and my brothers and I are sitting in the living room, trying to figure out how we're supposed to take down this Marsh guy.

"We've never taken him on before. We've never even heard of him! How do we know Ms. Dawn isn't lying to us and is planning to take out all of us?!" Raph demands. "Actually, Raph, I've done some research and Marsh Omega is in fact, very real!" Donnie says, pulling out his phone. "Marsh Omega has trained many to become expertise assassins, but many of them have either been caught or have died by now. Omega used to go out on weekly killings, but has been less active in his later years. Only training those who seek his help." He continues.

Raph crosses his arms stubbornly and looks away. "Well that still leaves us wondering how we're even supposed to find him."

"Wouldn't Dawn know how to get to him?" I ask. We all kind of look at each other awkwardly for a moment, "Mikey, go wake Dawn up." Raph demands.

"What?! But she's sleeping! And she looks so adorable when she's asleep! Who am I to-"

"Wait, wait, did you just... Did you just say she looks adorable?" Leo asks.

I feel all of the color drain from my face as my arms drop at my sides. "We-well no! That's not what I meant! I-"

"Mikey likes Dawn!" Raph laughs. "H-hey, thats not funny!" I whine. "Enough, Raph! Mikey, go wake Dawn up. Now." Leo demands. I sigh and stand up and walk to my bedroom.

Raph will find someone who he likes one day, then I'll show him.

I knock lightly before walking in, "Dawn?" I whisper.

I can see her sleeping figure in my bed. The blanket visibly rising and falling slowly with her breathing. I smile and tip-toe to the side of the bed, gently nudging her a couple of times.

"Dawn..."

"Hm?" She squeaks sleepily.

"Can you wake up for a minute? My brothers and I need you."

She yawns and sits up groggily. "Okay... Why?" She asks, yawning again.

"Do you know where Omega is located?" I ask her.

She slowly blinks a couple of times, giving me a tired, unamused look. "Mikey, if I knew exactly where he was, I would've told you the other night. Anytime it was time for us to meet, he'd text me from a different number. He'd say 'Meet me in this alley.' or 'Meet me at this pub.'. It was never the same place." She explains almost sadly. I frown, "Well can I see your phone then? Maybe there was some kind of connection or repetition." I offer.

"Leo took it... When I jumped off the balcony at the bank." She tells me, "Can I go back to sleep now?" She asks. I smile and nod, "You certainly may. Sleep well, dudette." I whisper as I get up. She smiles and lays back down on the bed.

When I return alone, my brothers look at me with their eyes filled with irritation. "Well?" Raph asks, exasperated.

"She told me that they never met in the same place. Whenever it was time for them to meet, he'd text her from a different number with a different address every time." I repeat her words. "I'll go get the phone." Leo says, walking out. "If he's as strong as the articles make him out to be, how are we gonna take this guy down?" Donnie asks. "We'll figure something out, Don. We can't have him terrorizing New York forever." Raph retorts.

Leo comes back with the red cased phone in his hand. "I was able to bypass the code the other night, so you should be able to get into it." Donnie comments, pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. Leo nods and unlocks it. He starts tapping his fingers on the screen.
