Back to New York! (2nd)

The Volcano

“This is bad, this is really really bad. They’ve been gone a whole day! Where could they have gone?!” Leo was pacing back and forth, back and forth in the condo. Becca was petting Jaejae (yes that cat got to go with them) absent mindedly, Mikey sat beside her, his eyes following his big brother, and Don was on is computer.

“Dang it! I’ve been trying to track their phones but I can’t get a stupid signal at this place!” He cried out, almost throwing the thing across the room.

“Dudes what’aya worrying about? This is Kylee and Raph we’re talking about, two of the toughest people we know, and their together, seeing as their friends they’ll take care of each other.” Mikey shrugged, having complete faith in the two. Becca patted his face sadly, “Normally I’d agree with you honey, but this is also an uncharted island that still needs to be mapped out. They could’ve fallen offa cliff and be either dead or hurt.”

“And if one if is hurt the other will take care of them. If they fell offa cliff and Kylee got hurt, Raph would climb up with her and bring her somewhere safe, and Kylee being a nurse and all she can set bones and other junk.”

Donny glared at Mikey, shooting daggers out of his eyes, “Mikey, I’m surprised your okay with our own brother and Becca’s…sister?...anyway are missing! How can you be so cool about this!?!”

“Easy, it’s Raph and Kylee. They don’t hurt easily. Remember that second summer the girls came down? And remember when Kylee tried to kick Raph, he dodged, and she kicked that concrete pole instead? Her leg should have snapped in two the way her knee hit that thing, but it didn’t. And that time when the girls got buried under all that rubble? They should have died. And Raph has never gotten hurt that easily- I’d say they’re pretty well off, wouldn’t you?”

Mikey had the most inexplicable way of calming down a room and hyping it up, he was such a roller coaster. “And if I know my island episodes well enough, right now they’re sleeping off a big party that Raph forced Kylee to stay at, and the both of them are being considered gods, which Raph is taking advantage of and Kylee’s a bit sick of it. Tonight they’ll be at the nearby active volcano, possibly being ‘sent’ back up to the heavens. Donny, yer so smart, you can build a homemade helicopter by then right? Then we can go save em and then all of us are happy. Their ‘gods’ were brought up to their rightful place, and we got our buddies back.” The room was silent, completely stunned at Mikey’s know how. *again I bring up that OBVIOUSLY TV isn’t that bad for you* Donny got started on the design for the helicopter on his laptop and Mikey looked at Becca; “I think I deserve a kiss for that, don’t you?” he smirked, Leo turned away as Becca pulled his brothers face towards hers, wishing he could ignore the sound.

Raph woke up the next morning with Kylee clutching him tightly in her sleep, she was shaking a bit. That party had shaken her up that badly? She’d done fine at that club all those years ago, what had scared her so badly? Raph sat up, making Kylee slip to his lap. Was…was she in a cold sweat? She was having a nightmare? Raph shook her but she wouldn’t wake up, and he called to her. She started shaking violently and tears were coming out of her eyes.

“Kid! C’mon girlie, wake up! You need to wake up! Come on back now, I’ll be here for ya… I promise.”

Kylee jumped up, her pupils so tiny with fear that you couldn’t even see them, tears were pouring down her face and she was weeping like crazy, she turned around and clinging to Raph’s shell and trying to get closer to him. He’d never seen her so scared before, and for a person of her age, and her hanging around the mutants-she’d seen a lot of scary stuff. She kept a strong hold on him and was still shaking violently and crying, Raph felt helpless to save her, all he could do was sit there and hold her. She could do so much for him, all the time she’d put up with his BS and helping him, but he could do nothing to help her now. “It’s okay. I know it was bad, It musta been pretty real… it’s okay, I ain’t gonna let nobody touch ya, nothing can hurt you as long as I’m here. It’s okay Kylee, it won’t touch you again, I promise.” He tried to say soothingly, and Kylee finally quit shaking. She looked up at him, ashamed of herself.
