The work of saving the world does not end even when you die

An interlude, the lair is a good setting

Almost a week had passed since the "incident", what they decided to call the mystical event, and routine returned to the lair.

Of course, if the routine includes cleaning up the mess and repairing the walls and ceiling cracked by the earthquakes. And Lou actively teaching Mikey how to growl at Raphael.

It is not the only thing that Lou is teaching him, Splinter agreed that Lou will accompany them in their meditation sessions to support the little one in his new relationship with the mystical. Lou was able to take them both to a spiritual plane where they can delve into Mikey's abilities which, until now, involved being able to see auras and read others' intentions in a surprisingly accurate way. When talking to Mikey, the elders assumed that the youngest's natural gift only intensified with the unlocking of the mystical center of the world and that it was easy for him to learn why he could already handle it, to a lesser extent, for a long time.

After the meditation and training, the children with Lou spent the rest of the day covering the cracks with fresh cement; Everyone was surprised the day April told them that she got them four bags of cement but that she needed help to put it in the sewers, her father could barely carry them in a wheelbarrow to the alley.

They went up with Lou accompanying them and the oldest just grabbed the bags one by one, lowering them and then balancing them on his shoulders and carrying them, as if they weighed nothing, to the den. All without even breaking a sweat.

Well, it also had to be super strong, right? —Raphael complained and gave his older brother a cold look of jealousy. Leo was already starting to get tired of his siblings hating him for the things the supposed older version of him did.

April was still as enchanted as the first day, not only with how attractive Lou seemed to her but also with everything he could teach her about her own psychic powers. She joined Splinter and Mikey in their meditation sessions and took the opportunity to ask him. to the eldest everything he could think of regarding his mystical abilities and how he could use that knowledge in his own abilities. It turns out that Lou was a great teacher and the girl felt more and more confident in her own powers.

Now the girl was walking towards the den accompanied by her friend Casey; The boy had to be away for a few days due to a pretty bad injury and no one remembered to tell him about the strange visitor who suddenly entered their lives.

I assure you it's very cool - the girl talks enthusiastically about the mutant - and God Cas, I never thought a turtle could be, I don't know, attractive - just like Donatello, April's statement touched his heart and he was completely determined that You won't like this Lou guy no matter how great he is.

Upon entering the lair, the young man encountered several changes. Not only was it more organized than ever, but some new furniture was distinguishable in various areas of the room. It was obvious that they were used and arranged but they gave a new air of warmth and comfort to the cold room.

A very animated Mikey threw himself at the human boy, greeting him.

Casey, Hello, how are you feeling about your injury? —She asks with a kind smile.

Pretty good — the young man flexes his arm to make his point — I see I missed a lot of things... — he adds, looking around.

"A lot," exclaims the little turtle, opening his arms and moving them in a fan, covering the entire room. "Lou has helped us bring new things from the landfill and fix them, he's very skilled." The proud tone in which he said things did not go unnoticed by the boy. Although he only dismissed it when he realized that Mikey was just as enchanted by the intruder as April was.
