Chapter 9: Recovering the Pieces...

Mikey POV:

Creak.

I cringed as I closed the door to Sensei's room. I stood silent for a second, trying to hear if I woke anybody up. 

Nothing.

Breathing a sigh of relief, I tip-toed down the old staircase. I glanced at a snoring Casey sleeping on the worn out sofa. My brothers and April were upstairs in Sensei's room, curled up to him like little puppies. I just woke up cause Mr. Tummy wanted food. Plus I wanted to surprise my family with a some-what normal meal.

As I entered the kitchen, a soft meow sounded from the ice box. I grinned and opened the steel door. A strawberry tongue greeted my nose.

"Good morning, pretty kitty. How are you today? Did you get reacquainted with your icy abound?" I said.

She purred and licked my nose again. She placed her tiny paws around my bandaged hand, and started to lick it as if to comfort me. I smiled at her with affection, and patted her head.

"Thank you for your help Ice Cream Kitty. It doesn't hurt anymore."

Her little eyes light up and she meowed joyfully. I rubbed her sticky cheeks and grabbed the ice pack beside her. I grabbed some eggs from the ledge below and bid my flavorful pet. I went over to the cupboards and found some white rice. A few small vegetables littered the counter. Today, I wasn't going to make anything fancy. I decided just fix a Japanese dish which would be a simple egg bowl.

Leo was the master cook when it comes to cooking Japanese delicacies. 

I stopped. Tears started to form, but I wiped them away with my arm.

"Just the onions. Just the onions," I told myself even though I hadn't even started chopping yet.

I pulled out an old fashioned kettle and filled it water. Master Splinter would want so tea when he woke up.I placed the ice pack on my wrist while I waited for the it boil. Besides having a mild concussion and mildly sprained wrist, my injuries weren't that bad as the rest of  my bros. Raph had a few broken ribs and scratched chest, but his most serious injury was his arms. Tiger Claw practically tore them to shreds when Raph had defended himself. Dr. Rockwell had then covered up, but they looked pretty swollen. Donnie had a broken leg from the arrow and all us were bruised and cut all over, but I guess that was to be expected when you have to fight large robot ninjas and huge mutants.

After a few moments, I removed the ice pack and placed it back in the freezer. Ice Cream Kitty was sleeping, so I was careful not to wake her. I started to chop up the onions for the egg bowl, when I heard some soft thudding coming from upstairs, followed by light shouting.

"Well, I guess Genius and Hot-Head are awake," Casey said as he walked into the kitchen. He took at the table and yawned. Even though he was only a year older than us, he was quite taller than us, but very skinny.

"Whatcha' makin bacon?" he asked me.

I skidded the chopped vegetables in a hot pan.

"Just one of the most delicious creations Magic Mikey has ever made: THE FAMOUS BOWL LE EGG!

"COOL! What's it made it out of?" Casey exclaimed.

"Ummm....eggs and rice...with a little spice," I explained.

"Oh. Sounds....exciting..."

"Yeah..."

Suddenly, crash sounds came to the living room. Me and Casey both stared at each other before running towards the noise. Big D and Raphie were piled on top of each other. They were both dazed and groaning.
