Mikey's P.O.V:

I was walking down a silent sewer path. It was dark, cold, kinda spooky. But that didn't matter. Nothing matters to me anymore. Well, except one person. Leatherhead. I was walking to where his home would be. Alone. No one by my side.

Sure enough, after a few minutes later, I found his home. It was in an abandoned train. (A/N In this universe, Leatherhead found a new home in another abandoned train while the turtles used his old home as the Shellraiser. Just making sure I don't leave any plot holes.)

I always enjoyed coming here. It was so peaceful. I went up to the door, er, slider, um, yeah I don't really know what those things are called. Whatever, I knocked and I didn't get a response. I pressed my ear to the door and heard snoring. "So he's sleeping," I said to myself. 

I knocked again, this time louder. Still no answer. Leatherhead is such a heavy sleeper. But don't worry, there is always a secret entrance to the train.

I climbed to the top and went through the hole that only I knew about. When I got to the top, I removed the piece of metal that was there, revealing the hole. I jumped down through it and landed quietly. 

Waking up Leatherhead would be a dangerous thing to do; no one knows what he'll do. So I just sat down in front of him, back facing him. Leatherhead was sleeping in a  position where I was able to lay my head on his belly. So I did that. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. 

My eyelids were getting heavy. All that walking did tire me out. Yeah, a quick nap wouldn't hurt anyone, especially since I had leatherhead by my side.

----------

I woke up from my sleep. But... I wasn't in Leatherhead's train cart and LH wasn't next to me. I was in a dark room. 'Why am I here?' I thought, 'How did I get here?'

 I was still on the floor, so I got up. I walked around, but it looked as if this room was endless. After looking around, I heard footsteps behind me. I quickly turned around to see nothing. "What is going on?" I said.

"You mean you don't know?" asked a familiar voice.

"Donnie?!" I  jumped.

I looked around, but I still couldn't see anything. "Heh, come on Don. You know he's too dumb to realize what's going on," said Raph's voice.

"Yeah. He's always been dumb. Why did you even ask that question?" asked Leo's voice.

"Shoot, you right. My bad. I should've known that."

Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. "Wha- What are you talking about? I'm not-" But I couldn't finish the sentence since Raph decided to cut me off.

"We don't want to hear it. Not after what you've done."

"No. YOU guys made me do it. I wasn't given a choice," I defended.

"See Mikey, this is why we said you're dumb. Thinking that blaming us will justify you? Well guess what, it won't," said Leo.

I put my hands to my ears to try and block out their voices, but their voices remained the same volume. 

"Don't try and ignore us Mikey. You're a monster," said Raph.

"No, no, I'm not! YOU did this to me! I'm not a monster!" I yelled.

Donnie clicked his tongue. "So much denial. He never wants to take responsibility for his actions."

"Donnie, ease up on the big words, he doesn't understand you," said Leo.

"Stop! I do understand him. You don't need to make fun of me!" I shouted.

"No Mikey, we do. Because you're a monster," taunted Leo.
