Chapter 7: allies in strange situations
Leo's pov:
It's hot... His body feels like it was on fire, I can't breath.... The heat was unbearable. Suddenly, a cold sweetness was pressed onto his forehead & another washing the sweat from his face. Feeling slightly better thanks to the sudden coolness, Leo forced his heavy eyes to open & fought the urge to close them again due to his head spinning.
a gentle hand cupped the right side of his cheek, making him look at the brown blur and... Two green blurs as well? Confused Leo tried to focus on the brown blur who he assumed is his brother. "M-mi..." his words spoken in a soft whisper, only to be hushed by a soothing sound.
upon a closer look, one of the green blurs left the room while the other was now pressing something between his lips. Turning his face away, closing his eyes, Leo tried not to open his mouth, only to have the hand previously on his cheek was now prying his mouth open.
Feeling liquid filling his mouth, Leo soon realized it was water & slowly started gulping it down, letting his scratches up throat find relief. Feeling content & not as hot as before, Leo opened his eyes to see the water bottle in his brothers hand more clearly, still slightly swaying but at least now he wasn't seeing blurs of shapes or colors.
Instead he could see his brothers face as he was sitting on the bed next to him. "O-orange...?" After a few minutes... Or an hour , Leo tried to speak again & geez... Did he actually sound this bad or was he.... Nevermind. "Hey spirits, feeling away better ?" his brother spoke while giving him a worried expression.
Nodding his head, Leo started to feel tired again & wondered why his pain was fading away.... Pain pills? But when did he... Oh! The water! Leo probably didn't notice that he swallowed them earlier when he was so focused on drinking.
"Sleep, it'll be fine, we're ok... W-we'll be in a safer place soon I promise " soon? Did the pain pills he took have a sleepy side effect or....
Before Leo could even finish his sentence, his eyes were already fighting to stay awake but he was losing this battle fast.... The last thing he saw before darkness was his brother and a... Green hand resting on his brothers shoulder as his brother turned to face someone.
How odd... The hand had three fingers as well...
Mikey's pov: present
Watching as Leo feel asleep, I turned to face this worlds... Donatello. He seemed to be deep in thought before speaking up "lets get you two back to our lair so I can give him some of my healing mutagen medicine." nodding my head, I quickly yet slowly began to move my injured brother into my arms again, being mindful of his dislocated shoulder.
Mikey knew he probably should have placed his shoulder back into place but... Mikey didn't want to accidently make matters worse. Getting up to leave, mikey followed the turtles out of the abandoned house into the shadows of the city. Thinking back, he didn't know if letting the other two turtles see him was a good or bad idea....
Mikey's pov: past
Groaning, mikey wondered if there was an easy way to get out of this. Looking at his tight surrounding in the allyway, his only two escaped would be to try to jump the tall metal fence behind him or fight those two to see if he can slip past them.
The only issue is... What to do with the medicine bag? He could throw it at them to distract them & run between them, grabbing the bag in the process but the likelyness of one of them grabbing him or the bag as he tried to run were too high.... Jumping the fence seemed to be his best option but what's to say those two won't attack him after he throws the bag over the fence? So little options and so little time.
Deep in his thoughts, mikey was suddenly pulled out off as one of the turtles spoke up "dude, not cool. Just drop the bag color-splatter" only for the other to reply with "color-splatter? Is that the best you can come up with Michelangelo? " .
Wait.....Michelangelo? That can't be right, that was his name... "What? It's the perfect name for him! He has a ton of color on his attire that looked like he'd splattered paint all over himself! It makes sense! " Yelled the orange masked turtle towards the red eyed one.
pft Wow... "That is a pretty creative name there" mikey said in a sarcastic playful tone back at the two as they seemed to be arguing back & forth, breaking it & causing the smaller of the two to smile back while saying "see, Donatello. He understands !" .
Pausing once again, mikey suddenly recalled an old memory of when Donnie was in his lab talking to mikey about the possibility of the multiverse & alternate dimensions. Two turtles... One named Donatello with a wooden bo staff while wearing a purple mask & the other named Michelangelo using nunchucks as well as wearing an orange mask like he did.
except for the fact he's still in his human disguise...! Oh! Despite this being a very bad idea, mikey decided to go with it, if these two are themselves but from this dimension then that means they are probably the good guys as well... Right?
"Hey wait! I'm really not hear to fight you two! I-im, ok I know this will sound weird but I'm Michelangelo, an alternate version of your brother!" money said while dropping the medicine bag to the floor & raising one of his hands to rest on his chest, right above the cloaking brooch he has.
"Yeah right, nice try, like the possibility of that happening is-!" before this works Donatello could finish his sentence, mikey turned the cloaking brooch off, letting himself turn back into his true form. Casting both this world Donatello & Michelangelo to pause, starting at him in awestruck.
After what seemed like an hour or really a few minutes, the two turtles before him eased up on their attack stance. "I-i really can't believe this, this shouldn't be possible, so the multiverse really does exist!?! Oh wow! I was right-!" upon seeing this, mikey noticed this version of Donatello was going into a rant about... Honestly he was having a hard time following.
"Wait a sec dude, so your me... But from an alternate world? Like in a comic book?" asked the other me as he placed his nunchucks away in his belt. Nodding his head, mikey continued to look back at them as he slaoly reached down to pick up the medicine bag.
"That's so cool!!!!! Oh wait, you said earlier you needed the medicine in the bag for your brother ?" right... Now things seemed to be going back on track. Nodding his head once again, mikey walked over to the two who asked him a lot more questions at the same time.
"Just... If your going to follow me, let me go to my brother ok ?" mikey said with haste in his voice as he started to walk past them down the street, noticing the sun was starting to come up way much sooner then he would like. Soon after that, the two other turtles chased after him before walking beside him, hoping to get more answers.
