Escaping Barely

[Donatello]

(OCC: March 1st. Right after "Making A Plan", open to all heroes, especially the turtles involved)

Raphael barely finished breathing when he made it to the Critic's area, he was aware of the stakes but he was going to depend on Donatello's words now. They were wrong. Raph himself was wrong. It was Critic who was good, not Ask Thatguy or Facilier. Michaelangelo was bleeding and barely holding on, he had to get help. He carefully carried Mikey to the door and banged on it with a free hand. "Someone help! I need medical attention! It's my brother! I'm Raphael! I'm sorry! Please help! My brother's hurt! He's really bleedin' hard!"

Splinter and Donny were talking about the very same turtles that were outside and when they heard his voice. Both were so shocked that they breathed in and out hearing Raphael's pleas and that Michaelangelo wasn't calling out either, made them realize it was him and they rushed to the door so fast, Donny slipped onto the floor. Splinter cried out as he opened the doors "My sons! Get in! Quickly, Donatello help your brother get michael--Michaelangelo!" He gasped, seeing his youngest bleeding and out cold, the rat panicked and helped Donny and Raph get in and helped Mikey to the couch. Splinter turned to the two turtles and responded "We have a lot to discuss but for right now your brother is injured. I shall get assistance. Raphael and Donatello, the both of you watch him" Splinter spoke as if he thought this as a dream but he hummed a breath of relief before running to Mrs. Potts, calling her for help.

"Raph... You came to us!" Donny said finally, tears streaming
"Bro. I'm so sorry. You were right all along. I messed up. I--" Raph began but Donny hugged him, interupting completely and Raph breathed and began crying, Donny was also

"What's going....." Angry Joe shouted at first but saw Raphael and michaelangelo and suddenly, excited with happiness, Joe went upstairs to get more people. Joe shouted "Hey guys. Remember when we wanted Raph and Mikey back to Donny? Well they're here! With us!"

[Mrs. Angela Potts]

Michelangelo just lay there unconscious unaware he was safe. He was in pain and he began to talk in his sleep.

"Raph you have to make it. They can't lose both of us." mumbled Michaelangelo.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts heard the commotion rushing out seeing Michelangelo hurt. She quickly ran out to get the medkit as she rushed in joining Splinter next to him as she began getting out supplies.

"What can I do to help?" asked Mrs. Potts.

She knew what he was feeling. Two of his sons were back and one was hurt. If that was Chip she would be devastated. She had to help him.

XXXX

Dr. Tease rushed out hearing Joe call out for people. She saw Splinter and Mrs. Potts were taking care of Michelangelo. She just stood to the side and greeted Raphael.

"Welcome to the army Raphael. Donatello never gave up hope he'd have you guys back. But I thought there was four of you. Where's the other one?" said Dr. Tease.

XXXX

Rogue came downstairs hearing the confusion spotting the new arrivals.

"Nice to have more allies. Welcome to the army." said Rogue.

She paused realizing one of them was hurt seeing Splinter and Mrs. Potts were working on it. She wished there was something she could do but she didn't want to get in the way.

[Master Splinter]

Donny and Raph turned to hear Mikey start speaking. Donny, with tears streaming down his face, replied softly "Come on mikey. You can make it. You've handled so much worse. You're so amazing to handle so much. We need you. I need you" Donny then turned to see Rogue, Dr. Tease, Mrs. Potts, Angry Joe, Wreck-It-Ralph and Splinter come over. He stood back a bit, watching upset and then he turned to hear Dr. Tease ask about Leo and he sighed sadly. He bent his head down. Although it was great having Raph and Mikey back, they still had a long way to go before their family was completed

"Donny was right all along about you guys. Can ya ever forgive me? We didn't know. They lied to us" Raphael said, guilt streaming down his voice as well as tears were streaming down his face also. He then responded to Dr. Tease's question "Leo's brainwashed by Malachite. He doesn't know who's who anymore other than his master" He sighed again, tears streaming down his face. He smiled weakly as Dr. Tease welcomed him "Thanks. It's nice to be here. On the right side" He sighed again, looking to Michaelangelo "I failed my little brother. I failed myself. I'm sorry. I really am sorry" He wiped his face then turned when Splinter gently talked to him.
XXXX

"It seems to have been a magical attack but it's easy to fix with our supplies Mrs. Potts. Please, we must take the wounds, clean them and bandage them. We.. We must save my youngest" He grabbed the rubbing alcohol and put any he could on the wounds to clean them, helping Mrs. Potts bandage the wounds also. He then heard Raphael blame himself and he immediately went over and hugged Raphael "I will always love you, my son. Raphael, it was and still is not your fault. You were lied to, it is only a mistake and all we can do now is move on and stay together as family" He then sighed about Leo and responded "Raphael is right Dr. Tease. My oldest was brainwashed by magic. But for now we must worry about my youngest and give my middle child a good welcome" He smiled to Raphael then smiled to Donatello "I never tell you enough how proud I am over the both of you"

He patted Raphael's shoulder "You took care of your brother and he took care of you, due to the fact no-one on that army was good for you. You were so patient for us my son" He then responded to Donatello "As for you donatello, you have never lost hope, I will admit I doubted very slightly but all of that was only fear. Thankfully Donatello, you brought me back from that. Also, you helped me grieve enough to continue fighting. Thank you" He then went over to help Michaelangelo out more and he spoke to Michaelangelo softly "Do not give up now my youngest. Please"
XXXX

"Raph! Well hello!" Joe said cheerfully, shaking hands kindly with Raphael. The turtle smiled and Joe patted his back "We knew you'd see the light. Thank your brother Donny for showing us you were just misunderstood... Oh sorry, I'm interupting something" He coughed awkwardly and responded "Well anyway you're welcome to anything in the fridge, you can stay with donny and splinter for your bed and I'm Angry Joe. Nice to finally meet you!"

"Wait who's here?" Ralph replied as he popped in dramatically. He saw rogue and gave a wave at her then turned to Raph shocked "Wait! Hold on! I hate to ask but wasn't raph with Ask Thatguy. No offense but just curious"

[Anna Raven/Rogue]

Michelangelo moaned as he heard the voices as he began to dream. When he spoke everyone could hear him but he was still dreaming.

"Donny? Master Splinter?" he mumbled.

Michangelo was dreaming as he saw Splinter and Donatello. He rushed over to them but they weren't moving. He tries to feel a pulse and finds none.

"No. They're gone." whispered Michelangelo.

He then hears a cry as he rushes towards it to see Raphael laying on the ground. But he's too late as Raphael is dead as well. He doublechecks by checking for a pulse but can't find one.

"Who did this? Show yourself." said Michelangelo.

He turns seeing Leonardo cleaning his sword. He grinned at him but his eyes are completely black. Then Malachite, Facilier, and Rita walk forward joining him.

"Your brother helped us kill them all. But it was all thanks to you. They were so worried about you they didn't see us coming. Finish him." said Malachite.

The three villains laugh. Michelangelo gasps in shock as Leo charged at him and stabbed him.

"Leo? Why?" gasped Michelangelo.

He collapses to the ground.

Michelangelo gasped sitting up with an scream. He paused seeing they were alright as he wraps Raphael and Donatello into a hug as tears go down his cheek.s

"You're alive. I thought that was real. I thought Leo killed all of you." said Michelangelo.

He paused wincing as he let go realizing he was still hurt. He saw Splinter and hugged him as well.

"You're ok. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I thought I was doing the right thing." said Michelangelo.

XXXX

Dr. Tease paused listening to Leo.

"He's brainwashed. Perhaps we can think of a way to-"

She was cut off hearing Michelangelo's nightmare.

"He's having a nightmare. Should we try to bring him out of it?" asked Tease.

But then he was awake. He was clearly shaken by it hugging his brothers and Splinter. At least he'd survived. Now all they needed was Leonardo to make this family complete.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts was also alarmed when he began talking in his sleep. But he soon woke up and things seem to calm down.

"I'm glad your sons are alright. And don't worry. We will find a way to free the last one from their control." said Mrs. Potts.

XXXX

Rogue sighed in relief when he woke up. Hearing parts of his nightmare were heartbreaking especially when he woke up claiming he thought they were all dead. She would try to help them free their last brother like Mrs. Potts said. She turned to Ralph and smiled at him.

"They were tricked into working for Ask That Guy. But they've finally on the right side now." said Rogue.

[Wreck-It-Ralph]

Donny turned hearing his name and realized Mikey was talking in his sleep. Donny panicked and immediately went over to the other turtle "Mikey! Wake up!" He then saw the youngest gasp and scream before looking around and seeing him. The minute Mikey starting crying, Donny let out some sobs of his own "Oh god mikey. I missed you so much. You're gonna be ok. We're all ok. We'll fix everything soon enough" Donny rubbed the turtle's back before letting go and allowing both Splinter and Raph to speak. Donny smiled and rubbed his face "I knew you two would come back. This is a miracle" He hugged Raph before breathing and turning to Mikey. After a while of talking Donny responded "Mikey. You need rest now. Your injuries aren't really good right now" He turned to raph "Who did this to him anyway?!"
XXXXXX

"We gotta find Leo and help him som-" He immediately turned hearing mikey and like his older brother, the turtle rushed to Mikey checking for any signs. While Donny spoke in panic, Raph's eyes widened hearing the poor youngest moan in pain. Suddenly Mikey screamed and Raph shouted "Mikey! It's ok! We're---" Once again interrupted thanks to Mikey's hug but the turtle was heartbroken when it turned out to be a nightmare. While Donny was crying and assuring Mikey, Raph was calmer now seeing Mikey needed assurance "It was just a nightmare bro. You're ok and we're all alive. Leo would never do that to us and we'll prevent it if that master jerk of his makes him" He hugged the turtle carefully before letting go and allowing Splinter to speak. After Donny hugged him and told mikey to get rest, the question of who attacked him was clear as day on the turtle's mind. At the mere question Raph growled, his old rage coming back once more "That god of tricks did it. What's his name, crap I forgot it already"
XXXXX

"Loki!" Joe said after the incident of the nightmare was settled. Like the others he was afraid but it was fixed and dealt with easily. The man growled after a while though "Damn. That god's pretty powerful. I'm just glad we have other super heroes now" Joe turned to Mrs. Potts and nodded in agreement with her "Mrs. Potts is right. We'll be damned before letting Leo stay stuck as a puppet" He turned to Raph and donny "No offense boys" He turned and bowed to Splinter "And no offense to you sir"
XXXXX

Splinter was about to talk to Tease but the call of his name immediately got his attention. He saw the two turtles steal some seats though, so he quickly stood above Mikey before the youngest woke up with a jolt and hugged his brothers. Tears of joy and relief streamed down his face and the youngest turned to him and the hug was more than appreciated, as the rat hugged him as carefully but lovingly as he could. He responded assuringly and sweetly "Of course my son. I am alright and now you are as well" He then rubbed the youngest's back carefully "No. Do not apoligize, you thought that you were doing the right thing and there is nothing wrong with that. Michaelangelo, you and your brother's return is plenty enough. You both have handled enough for a while" He turned to hear donny tell Mikey to rest, which Splinter nodded to and then ask who did it before both Joe and Raphael spoke of who did it. The rage within the rat was there but it was overpowered by his concern for Mikey. "Revenge will come but we must strike properly. For now, you and michaelangelo need to recuperate here with us" He then chuckled very grimly at Joe "None taken Angry Joe-san. I am more angry at this Loki then you"
XXXXXX

"Oh really? Well in that case they can stay as long as they like" Ralph smiled, glad that the turtle's really were joining them. He felt overwhelmed about Mikey's nightmare, knowing where the youngest came from but was relieved it was settled. The video game man turned to Rogue and replied cheerfully "Glad things are getting better for us huh?" He then paused as Mrs. Potts said they would get one more "One more? Wait, there's four turtles and one is still on a wrong side?"

[Anna Raven/Rogue]

Michelangelo relaxed a little but was still sobbing.

"It was so real. I don't want to go back to sleep. I don't want to dream that again. Please." said Michelangelo..

He smiled at Donny and Splinter. He still felt guilty but Master Splinter had a way of making you feel better with barely saying anything. He had missed them both.

"I missed you guys. I'm glad you're okay too Raph. If those creeps had hurt you I'd..."

He sat up and winced as his chest still hurt as he lay back down.

"Okay. Maybe I'll fight them later." said Michelangelo.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts looked at him sadly as she smiled.

"Perhaps we should let him stay awake for awhile. He can always rest later." said Mrs. Potts.

She smiled as she turned to the others.

"Come. Let us go talk in the kitchen. Give the family some time." said Mrs. Potts.

She walked into the kitchen.

XXXX

Kitchen:

Dr. Tease smiled as she followed Mrs. Potts into the kitchen. She agreed the family should have some privacy.

"I'm so glad those two are here. Now we need to focus on getting Leonardo back. Although science is my expertise. If he's been controlled by magic perhaps we should talk to Linkara and Maleficent. One of them should know how to free him if he is being controlled magically. And Tony, and my pals in the lab can help if he's being controlled with science." said Dr. Tease.

XXXX

Rogue followed the two women into the kitchen. She turned to Ralph and nodded.

"Yeah. There were four of them. Unfortunately Ask That Guy liked to those two. And another is working for Facilier's army. Apparently they got him on their side now. We just have to break whatever hold they have on him. And looks like Dr. Tease has the right idea. Working on magic and science." said Rogue.

[Wreck-It-Ralph]

Living Room

Splinter quickly interrupted his youngest, sternly but with care as he helped Mikey back on the couch "You will do no such thing. You will stay right on that couch and recuperate. You are injured and this loki Raphael spoke of did plenty of damage. Please, my son, just stay for a moment. I still want to know you are here for true this time" Splinter said this as if he was so happy, and he was, his smile somewhat teary and it was only calmed down when Donny put his hands over his father's shoulders. Splinter held Mikey's hand with both of his own hands and turned to both Raphael and Michaelangelo and responded to them "Your brother Donatello and I missed you more than anything. I hope you both stuck together as brothers during this time"
XXXX

Raph was a bit in agreement with his brother but his wish to stay overpowered his own desire for revenge. So he turned to Mrs. Potts in thanks before hearing Splinter wanting to know they were here. Raph's eyes filled with tears once more and he said softly "We really are here, father. We missed you a lot too. We truly thought that you and Donny were brainwashed but we were wrong. Totally wrong. Especially me. I know you forgive us but I'm gonna make it up to you Splinter. And you too Donny. And especially you Mikey. I really made a lot of mistakes since coming here" Raph then saw Donny come over and hug him again and Raph sighed, feeling a bit happy to be in good terms with Donny again. It felt so good. He smiled a little when Donny pretty much repeated that it wasn't Raph's fault and that he needed nothing to prove. But Raph knew better than that.
XXXXXX

Donny's heart broke as Splinter admitted to being somewhat unsure that they were here and he put his hands over Splinter's shoulders to cheer him up and smiled when Raph spoke up. Then Raph went on a little rant, swearing he would make it up to all of them, which made Donny hurt. He didn't want to have Raph prove himself as family, he always was and Donny was just glad he had returned. Donny hugged Raph and responded assuringly "Splinter said this already but you don't need to prove anything Raph. You're here and so is Mikey and that's all that matters to me" He turned to Mikey and smiled, his tone much more jokey and light-hearted "So mikey, have you been causing pranks on the army before you came here? I never thought I said this but you need to start pranking again"

Kitchen

Joe nodded in agreement as he followed Tease, Mrs. Potts, Ralph and Rogue into the kitchen. He sat next to Dr. Tease and began speaking after she was done "Yeah, we do need to get Leo back. He's family to Splinter and the other three turtles. It's the right thing to do" He then nodded as Tease mentioned that working on both magic and science was best "I'm not good on either but if you need help science-wise or if Linkara needs a extra hand to work a spell I can do my best. We also need to pick a time and place to find Leo and put the cure on him. Probably the best option is in a big battle, where Malachite or whomever is controlling Leo isn't entirely aware of his precence or something"
XXXXXX

Ralph followed Rogue and sat next to her in the kitchen counter. He smiled, listening to her but frowned as he realized Raph and Mikey were lied to by Ask Thatguy and that Leo, the turtle everyone was now talking about, was with Facilier under a spell. "That's horrible. I'm glad Dr. Tease and Joe are beginning to work on that" He sighed "If I had my mama or something under a spell that'd be pretty nuts" He looked to the four family members talking in the living room talking and smiled, happy that they were reuniting at the moment. He turned to Rogue again and responded "I've been kinda ditzy and haven't been polite to ask how are you? You've been working hard last time we chatted"

[Anna Raven/Rogue]

Living Room:

Michelangelo smiled as Splinter helped him back down.

"Alright. I'll rest." said Michelangelo.

He sighed and smiled at Raphael.

"I'm just glad you're ok. I saw that blast coming for you and I panicked and shoved you out of the way. If something had happened to you..."

He trailed off realizing they were all worried about him so they knew how he felt.

"Guess I'm out of the action for awhile. This stinks. First Leo beat me up and kidnapped me and threw me in that cell. Then that Loki nearly kills me. I just can't catch a break lately." said Michelangelo.

He sighed and looked back at Donny and Splinter.

"I really am sorry. If I'd listened to you then this wouldn't have happened." said Michelangelo.

He smiled at them both.

"I missed you guys so much. And April and Casey. Even Sterling." said Michelangelo.

He chuckled at that. The robot got on their nerves at times but he meant well. Michelangelo chuckled at Donny's claim.

"Are you kidding? Those guys are scary. I thought about it but Raph talked me out of it. I didn't want to get on their bad side. But I guess now I have." said Michelangelo.

He chuckled as he decided to change the subject.

"So how have you two been?" asked Michelangelo.

XXXX

Kitchen:

Dr, Tease smiled as she listened to them.

"We should start working on plans. If these two were lied to and Leo is brainwashed there could be others in both armies that are being lied to or brainwashed. We should try to find out. I'm sure some of those kids for sure. Like Pinocchio. I've heard Nella speak of him." said Mrs. Potts.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts frowned at that.

"Tricking children? I don't like the sound of that. I agree. We should try to help anyone there. If someone is being lied to or brainwashed they deserve to be here where they'd be safe. But the brainwashed people may be easier to discover. It will be a lot harder to find the ones being lied to." said Mrs. Potts.

XXXX

Rogue nods.

"Then we work on a way to find brainwashed members in both armies. Surely they can help us find anyone being lied to or enslaved. It may take some time though. Perhaps Dr. Tease and the others could invent something to detect abnormalities in brain waves or something. If the Professor or Jean were here he could tell for certain who we need to help. But without a telepath I guess we have to do things the old fashioned way." said Rogue.

She nodded turning to Ralph.

"I know how you feel. I've had friends who were brainwashed before back in my world. I was brainwashed once too. We need to be careful about this. If Facilier, Ask That Guy, and the others learn we're onto them they might try to stop us." said Rogue.

[Raphael]

Living Room

Donatello smiled assuringly to Mikey "Don't worry about it mikey. You're safe now" He then scowled at the mention of Loki "I'd like to tear him apart for you Mikey. But we gotta wait and catch up first" He then responded assuringly "We'll get leo back and everything's gonna be fine. We're just glad you and Raph here are safe" He then smiled at the mentions of Casey, April and Stirling. The thought of those three made him laugh in rememberance "Yeah. Stirling would be having a fit about you guys by now. Wonder what he's up to and what April and Casey are doing?" He then nodded at Mikey's answer with a smirk "Good. That's the last thing you should be doing" He then thought hard about Mikey's question and responded "Fine. The people here are really nice guys. You'll love it"
XXXXX

Splinter nodded in satisfaction as Mikey laid down again and started talking to them. Splinter then assuringly looked over Mikey and responded "What matters is your return home to us my son, nothing else" He then turned to Raphael and Mikey together and saw that Raph grew slightly silent about this, and knew that Raph was just thinking things over for the moment. Normally that meant he was still upset and Splinter knew he needed some time to think, which was fine as long as he was here. Splinter chuckled as Donny and Mikey teased with each other a little and then he realized that he was asked how he and donny was "We missed you, that part is obvious. However we were warmly welcomed and take care of here with the Critic and his followers. As donny said, yes you will enjoy it here more than at the other side"
XXXXX

Raph thought things over and cringed at Mikey's response that he just wanted to get Raph out of the way of Loki's attack. Raph felt that maybe he should've been the one hurting. He turned to see splinter and smirked in assurance but continued to think. He felt the need to go over and do something for his youngest brother. Something. Anything. To avenge what happened to poor mikey. And avenge his terrible behavior from previous.

Kitchen

"Mrs. Potts is right Tease. As much as I want the lied people to come here we also need to get plans for the brainwashed. Especially Leo. Leo's gone nuts apparently" Joe commented softly for Tease to hear, seeing the turtles and splinter continuing to talk. Joe then turned to Rogue and nodded in agreement with her. He responded assuringly "Alright. We get started on plans and blueprints on how to tell apart brainwashed from the lied to. Maybe we should get nella or Linkara?"
XXXX

Ralph said nothing and listened to the conversation. He agreed with everything they said. If the lied to obviously were lied to, they belonged here where the truth really was, but if they wished to stay they couldn't really force them without costing lives. He also agreed the brainwashed were always easy to sniff out. Ralph then turned to Rogue at her comment and shuddered "Then we definitely need to not get caught. The best thing is to be careful if we're really gonna help anyone"

[Anna Raven/Rogue]

Living Room:

Michelangelo grinned at them.

"I'm just glad to be back. I really missed you guys." said Michelangelo.

He winced as Donatello said he'd like to tear him apart. Michelangelo's eyes widened as he shook his head.

"No! He's a god. He'll kill you. Please. Donny. Raph. Master Splinter. Leave Loki alone. Don't go after him. don't want that nightmare to come true." said Michelangelo.

He paused as he looked sadly. His usual cheerful demeanor was replaced by a look of sadness and fear.

"My time in that cell I was so alone. I had no one talk to. If something happened to you guys and Leo I'd nevertruly be alone. Don't go after him. Please I don't want to be alone again." said Michelangelo.

He paused wiping away tears that were beginning to form. His time in that cell still shook him. He'd pretty much spent nearly all his time with Raphael upon his release. Perhaps he'd been too clingy but part of him was afraid of waking up and still being in that cell. Raphael was his anchor. His rock. If he lost Donny, Leo, or Splinter it would hurt. But if he lost Raphael he wasn't sure if he could handle that.

He thought about Sterling, Casey, and April as Donny talked about them as well. He was just glad they were safe back home. He chuckled at Donny's words. Sterling would probably say he was glad they were gone while secretly working about them no doubt. He chuckled again as Donny said that was the last thing he should be doing.

"But it would have been so much fun." said Michelangelo.

He smiled as he said the people here were nice.

"Yeah from what I've seen they're nice.. I still feel like a fool for believing them." said Michelangelo.

He paused at the realization turning back to Raphael.

"What if he's tricked others like those kids? Some of them didn't really look that evil. Great. We might have left other people who could be in danger." said Michelangelo.

He sighed feeling bad again.

----------

Kitchen:

Tease nodded.

"Alright. Alright. Brainwashed first. It would be hard to figure out who was lied to. So we'll just have to figure that out later. I hope we have some luck on finding a way to debrainwash people. The last turtle Leonardo may not be the only one brainwashed." said Tease.

He paused at them.

"Well that might be a sore subject for some people. Since Nella was possessed for the second time for awhile. And Goggles was sorta possessed by that ring. We might have to be careful who we bring in on this. I wouldn't want to bring up bad memories for anyone. Linkara sounds like a good idea though." said Tease.

XXXX

Mrs. Potts smiled at them.

"I think we should leave this up to the science team. And perhaps add Grimhilde, Maleficent, Gene, and Willie who know a bit more about magic. Together they could come up with something for sure. The rest of us should focus on training or battle strategies. Or what we're good at. Like me. I'm better at being the medic, maid, and one of the cooks." said Mrs. Potts.

XXXX

Rogue nodded.

"She's got a point. I've got super strength. I can fly. I can fight. But I don't know much about magic or science to help with this problem. We should leave this to the experts. I wish I could help but I'd probably just get in the way." said Rogue.

She paused and nodded.

"Yeah. We just need to plan this right. While the tech and magic experts plan this out we should plan out a strategy like Mrs. Potts said. We've had enough people in this army getting hurt or captured. We have Jasmine and Leonard to rescue. And possibly many others. We need a plan." said Rogue.

Living Room

"We missed you too Mikey" Donny said cheerfully before Mikey started to fearfully proclaim that if they went near Loki, he'd kill them. Donny believed that from Mikey's expressions and saw the youngest was crying and getting upset. It was obviously a very emotional time for him. For one thing he was captured in a cell then he was brought back only to run away to come to them. He was horrified at Mikey's condition. Donny went over but Raph hugged him and tried shushing the younger one's crying. Donny sat there sadly and responded assuringly "OK Mikey. It's ok. I won't go after him. I'll stay here as long as you need me too. You're my little brother. I won't, Splinter won't and Raph certainly won't let anything happen to you" He smiled as Mikey responded to Donny's jokes positively and nodded, the younger one was right, it would've been fun to see the villains get pranked. He then shrugged at Mikey's response over the critic's team "You weren't a fool Mikey, you just didn't know"
XXXXXXX

Raph instantly came to hug Mikey as gently as he could without hurting him. Mikey was heartbroken and so was he, the two stuck harder than the others and if one was dead over the other, the one left behind wouldn't handle it well. Plus Mikey's time in the prison obviously affected him, Mikey was a wreck when the two reunited and was even worse now. Raph shushed his brother's crying and responded "You're never gonna be alone ever again mikey. I love you you nit-wit, never forget that" He rubbed the poor turtle's back before looking to Splinter with a smile. He then chuckled, rubbing the tears off his face "Yeah, imagine Insano's reaction to your glue trick mikey. That dude was always a nut" He then widened his eyes at Mikey's assumption of the other children left behind. Raph instantly felt guilty also "Shell. They probably are. Those adults probably will keep tighter leashes on them and..." He trailed off when Splinter spoke.
XXXXXXX

Splinter was so joyful over his three sons that he forgot about Mikey's sadness until he started crying, Splinter's eyes widened and like donny went over to check but Raph did it for him. Splinter smiled, seeing that the two were much closer than ever before, he couldn't be prouder. And even more proud when the three of them talked over some events in a light way. He then interrupted when Raph was about to finish a sentence over Mikey's assumption of the other children. Splinter put a hand over Raph's shoulder and on mikey's assuringly before saying "My sons. You both will not need to worry. We have feared the same thing. Yes it takes a while but the army here have started plans for them. And as you saw, they seem to be planning more for Leonardo. Let us hope they think of something"

Kitchen

"Science and Magic are great seperately but together they're so powerful. You guys are right, it's best we get the science team and our magicians like Linkara, grimhilde, maleficent, willie and Gene into the mix" Joe responded in agreement, seeing the point of the matter leading to finding sources. Joe responded, with a chuckle "Even though I'm neither. I can definitely say I can try to make the battle plan once the science team and magic guys get everything settled out"
XXXX

Ralph meanwhile smiled and paid attention. He was glad things were getting agreed upon and listened to. Ralph responded "Yeah a plan is probably the best way to go. Yeah I got big hands but they can't do everything. I can't help that much either" He shrugged apoligetically and then listened to more of the conversation.

[Anna Raven/Rogue]

Living Room:

Mikey grinned still glad to be back with them.

"We got to get Leo back. At least Raph and I were just tricked. We still had control. We could leave if we wanted. But Leo doesn't even remember us. He attacked us and nearly killed me when he captured me. There were times I thought he was remembering but the spell's too strong. We have to break it. We have to get him back. After everything he's done for me I owe it to him to get him back." said Mikey.

He frowned though realizing he was in too much pain to do anything.

"Damn that Loki. Now I can't even help save Leo." said Mikey.

He looked sadly realizing he was stuck here. He knew Ralph, Donny, and Splinter would tie him to the bed if they had to so he'd recover proberly and get some rest. He sighed.

"I know Leo can't wait for me to get better. So you guys make sure to rescue him. And give those creeps a few whacks for me." said Mikey.

He smiled as Donny said he wouldn't go after Loki. He knew Splinter wouldn't either but Raph was another story. And he smiled as Raph said he wasn't going to be alone again.

"Raph would it be ok if we shared a room like before? I don't want to wake up and be alone. I still have nightmares of being in that dungeon and..."

He trailed off and shivered. He hated that place. He'd destroy that dungeon if he could. He then chuckled as Raph mentioned his glue trick.

"I really would have enjoyed that. If I'd known we were going I'd have planned a few surprises for them." said Michelangelo.

He chuckled again before frowning thinking about those kids.

"That poor Pinocchio. He said his father didn't care about him anymore. If those guys lied to us then what if they lied to him? His father back home could be worried about him and unable to follow him here.

He trailed off when Splinter spoke.

"I hope they do. No one should be in either of those armies if they're being brainwashed or lied to. That means it's not their choice." said Miichelangelo.

Kitchen:

Tease nodded.

"Well we'll start planning later. For now I think we should celebrate our new two new members." said Tease.

She paused heading to the fridge pulling out some drinks setting them on the table as she cracked open a pepsi.

"To Raphael and Michelangelo." said Dr. Tease.

She raised her soda can into the air clinking it with the others and drunk some before setting the can down with a grin.

Mrs. Potts nodded taking a sprite from the group and grinned. She popped open the can.

"Yes. To Raphael and Michelangelo." said Mrs. Potts.

She chuckled as she clinked her can with the others and took a few sips.

Rogue grinned taking a Coke from the pile. She smiled as popped the can open.

"To Raphael and Michelangelo!" said Rogue.

She clinked her soda can with the others and then took a few sips as well. She grinned.

"Carly's right. We should make plans later when we have all the scientists and sorcerers together. For now, we should celebrate." said Rogue.

She grinned taking some more sips of her soda.

Living Room

Donny nodded as Mikey mentioned Leo's brainwashing once more, the turtle spoke assuringly "We will fix it Mikey. I know leo will fight it and get back to us. All that matters now is patience and being together. Besides, you need rest" He then smiled happily when Mikey requested getting leo back for him and to beat the villains up too "We will mikey, Leo will come back. We'll tell the jerks that kept you that the fistacuffs are here!" He then made fists and laughed slightly and Raph joined him. Donny then turned to raph with a hint of hurt as Mikey said he had nightmares and smiled to him when Raph promised to room with him. The four of them were getting closer and closer. This was good process. He turned to Splinter as he spoke about the kids.

Splinter smiled as his three boys continued talking. He felt so happy. His two other sons came back. Now there was only one, his oldest and then his family would be complete. He enjoyed the talking and grinned when Raph accepted mikey's request to room with him, Splinter gave a hurt look and gently rubbed his youngest's shoulder when he mentioned he had nightmares. "My son. If your nightmares continue and you wish to speak about them. Do not hesitate to do so" He then sighed slightly about the children, lied soilders and brainwashed "You are most certainly correct michaelangelo. We must do something for the decieved and controlled and they will. Things happen slowly unfortunately but they will happen in good time" He turned to his sons and Raph laughing about the glue trick mikey was known for.

Raph was hurt to see his younger brother tell him he had nightmares of his imprisonment. He nevertheless smiled and patted his brother's shoulder gently "Mikey, of course we'll room together. Besides, I grew used to seeing you next to me in a bunk. It'd be kinda weird to have a room of my own by this point" He then turned to Splinter who stated that if mikey continued to have nightmares, he could talk about it "If you want, later we can talk about what happened mikey. It's up to you though, I don't wanna push ya" He then hugged Donny and Splinter and eventually gently hugged mikey. He then laughed "I'm surprised I actually miss your glue tricks mikey. It feels kinda homey with them now. But don't press your luck" He smiled softly then, feeling so happy his brother and father were now with him. He sighed "It's really good to see us together. Leo will be next on our list but I'm glad with the three of you too"

Angry Joe nodded in agreement and grabbed a coke "Hell yes! To Raphael and Michaelangelo's return! Glad to see they're back at home with their family!" He then sippped his soda and thought about that. He kinda missed being back in texas with his friends but at least he was with others. "We should probably let other people know the two are here soon by the way. But for now let's just drink to the two's health and happiness here"

Ralph got a soda and joined the little group with a smile "To Raphael and Michaelangelo! Glad they're here" He then sipped and turned to Rogue with a grin before continuing to drink. He smiled "Hey this soda's pretty good by the way. Don't remember drinking this before but I am now!" He continued to drink up his soda, enjoying himself.
