They heard a loud cry from mikeys room
"I'm a mutant"
"not again" raph muttered he quickly ran to mikeys room and flew open the door to see a naked human with short blonde hair and bright teary blue eyes mikeys orange mask was hanging loosely aroun his neck
"what did you do with Mikey and how did you get here" raph shouted flipping the man onto mikeys bed he straddled the strangers hips an held his shoulders down
"r-raphie" the boy cried a tear running down his cheek "what happened to me?"
Raphs jaw dropped and he instantly pulled the boy into his arms
"m-mikey what did you get into this time?" raph whispered holding the sobbing boy a bit closer
"I-I don't know"
"raph what's wrong with Mikey
Leo and Donnie came in an instantly froze
"who's that?" Leo questioned readying his katanas behind him Donnie stroke a fighting pose
Raph stood pushing the blonde behind him facing his brothers raph shook his head
"it's Mikey hes human"
A boa staff and and katana hit the ground loudly
Raph helped Mikey put on a pair of skinny jeans he found in a good will box by a store
Upon leos order mikey was now being forced to wear clothes as no one wanted to see certain parts of mikey that had been previously hidden by his shell Donnie had heartily agreed thinking of his poor april.
"raph do you think I'm a freak now?" Mikey whispered as he strapped the belt on and shoved his nun-chucks in the belt
Raph smirked and ruffled mikeys hair
"No more than I did before bro"
Mikey smiled widely his eyes glittering
"Alright now the shirt" raph attempted to put the black shirt with mc-Mikey written on the front on Mikey who began fidgeting and wiggling
"Mikey hold still" raph scolded
"I don't want to wear it though they're itchy" Mikey whined loudly
"Mikey let me put the shirt on you" raph said frowning
Mikey sighed and gave up allowing raph to slip the shirt on
"Alright your good"
"Thanks raph" Mikey said smiling brightly and hugging raph who pushed him off in his normal manner
Mikey smirked at raph blue eyes twinkling with mischief
"Last one home is a sewer egg" Mikey cried taking off in the direction of the lair raph smiled widely chasing after his brother
"Damn that kid's fast" raph grumbled as he entered the lair after Mikey both panting heavily raph dropped on the couch on his back and Mikey followed suit flopping on the couch beside him
"uh raph who is your friend he-I I I've never seen him around here before" April stuttered rubbing her arm nervously from where she had come out of Donnie's lab, Mikey shot up as did raph both looking cluelessly at April who sighed and walked closer she held her Hand out to shake
"Hi I'm April O'Neil high school student and konoichi in training"
Mikey jumped up and all but ran to his room the door slammed loudly
"Nice going April" raph grumbled irritably as he stood and trailed after Mikey leaving a clueless april behind
Raph opened the door and snuck in he looked at mikey's small form where he sat on the bed back the door and a comic book pulled closer than necessary to his face raph silently shut the door and with a quick hop he jumped onto the bed beside Mikey his back to the bed as he looked at the comic book blocking mikey's face
"Even April didn't recognize me" Mikey whined dropping his comic book to the floor and carelessly flopping beside raph on the bed
"How could she have? You went from a mutant turtle to a teenage boy" raph said frowning at Mikey
"I don't know but were friends she should have known"
"hm maybe"
"Exactly"
They sat in silence for a few minutes before raph broke the silence
"Ya know Mikey I bet she's confused about why you took off like that"
Mikey's head snapped looking at raph with wide eyes
"You think she is?" Mikey asked with an almost hopeful ring to his voice
"Mhmm she probably feels bad too" raph said watching mikey's face look a bit sad
"We should go see her" Mikey whispered raph nodded smiling
"Good idea kid"
They both went to the living room where April was sitting on the couch a mushy movie on the TV
"Hey April" Mikey said smiling brightly as he jumped in front of her line of vision
"Mikey" she all but yelled then looked around confused "where is that fuzz ball?" her eyes turned to Mikey and she looked a the ground awkwardly
"Hey April it's me Mikey"
Aprons head snapped up and she flatter at him her hand went to her pocket and she began throwing stars at Mikey who was instantly sheltered by raph who looked disapproving at april she lower her stars frowning
"Hey be gentle he's squishy now" raph growled
"What is he's actually Mikey?" April scoffed
"Yeah he woke up a human" raph explained looking over his shoulder at Mikey
"Are you gonna try to kill me again?" Mikey questioned popping his head around raph
April looked at Mikey and she began to mumble then fell on the couch passed out
"Here Mikey this might help people recognize you" raph said tying the orange mask around mikey's face
"Yeah now everyone will recognize me again" Mikey said smiling cutely raph sighed; this was going to take some getting used to. He looked towards April's body on the couch
"She'll be fine I'm sure" raph said yawning Mikey nodded unconcerned
Raph watched as his little brother ran to Donnie's lab the red turtle lowered his head and followed at a slower pace
