A lost cause (Rottmnt Mikey Angst)

Chapter eight

Mikey stared at his three drawings, maybe it was true... He'd spent so much time by Leo's side in the med bay, maybe that's just how he saw his older brother now...

No.

Leo would wake up, Mikey was sure of it, from what Mikey knows of his condition, it's not life threatening. He supposed. Although he didn't know much about medical stuff.

Mikey dusted himself off and stood up, he wanted to go for a walk. Mikey grabbed his orange hoodie, he hadn't really been in New York in a while. Although he didn't need to cover himself anymore, it was a comfort, what they usually did.

Even that had changed.

Mikey walked passed his Brothers arguing, it was common, now instead of Leo and Raph, it was now Donnie and Raph. The box turtle knew they were arguing about Leo and his condition but... Why fight?

Maybe he'd need to check them in with the doctor. Whichever one was needed. Mikey pulled his hoodie on and pulled up the hood. Ensuring it covered his face, he exited the manhole and walked down the street.

New York was busy of course, it was one of the many cities that never slept. People pushing passed each other, shouting, car honks throughout the air. Even walking was faster then driving there was so much traffic.

Mikey thought back to when Donnie taught him about greenhouse gases. How much were these cars producing? Mikey knew it was a type of pollution, sadly one of the only ones that was allowed.

The fifteen year old walked down the streets of this vast city, trying to clear his head. Mikey would consider it fresh air but... C'mon we all know that's not true.

Before he knew it he was at April's house, he knocked on the door. There was no answer, the youngest turtle was about to leave when CJ opened the door.

"Master Michelanglo, how can I help you?" Mikey sighed, he'd told Casey three times to just call him Mikey. He supposed for CJ it was his comfort.

"Is April here? I need to talk to her"

...

Donnie had received another USB this time with more videos, this one had about three. He knew they were from Casey. But how the young boy had gotten a hold on his recordings... Even his future recordings were beyond him.

He plugged the USB into his computer, and clicked on the first video. He was Greeted with a small boy, Casey. About the same age he was in the last.

"Hello, I'm Uncle Tello and I will be talking about Science! Evil laugh!" Did he just say evil laugh? Was that something he'd pick up from Donnie? Must've grown out of it.

"Oi! Jones get out of here, you know these are important! Go on shoo!" Older Donnie ran into the screen. The younger Casey grabbed the camera and ran off with it.

"Jones! Casey! Get back here you little rascal!" Older Donnie laughed as he chases the small boy. The camera was shaking a lot as he ran off with the camera.

"Can't catch me uncle Tello! I'm too fast!" Just as he said that, future Donnie managed to reclaim the camera.

"What was that?" He teased. Younger Casey laughed before waving goodbye and running out of the lab. "Kids these days... No respect" he mumbled as he repositioned the camera.

The camera shook as future Donnie was replacing it back onto the stand, he sighed "Donnie - log day 645, in a few days it will be Michael's birthday, I recently was sent on a dangerous mission to the remains of the hidden city." Older Donnie sighed
