Its okay (to not be okay)

Summary:

Mikey was okay; It didn't matter if he kept getting dizzy, that he'd forget large portions of time, or that His hands felt like TV static; All that mattered was that his brothers were together.

 

TLDR: Mikey goes through physical trauma from opening the portal.

Notes:

This book will be written as a series of one-shot connected chapters but will shift around the timeline. If you are confused about anything, feel free to ask, and I'd love to hear about your ideas and thoughts.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Opening the portal to the prison dimension was the most exhilarating action Mikey had ever taken, like moving a muscle he never knew he had. His core's small ball of energy lit up and was conducted through veins.
IT BURNED like being struck by lightning; his body was putting out more energy than Mikey had, literally tearing himself apart to stabilize the portal.
'It doesn't matter; I'm not giving up on Leo'
Over the ring in his ears, Mikey heard Raph call out, "-Don't STOP!". He vaguely felt his brothers place their hands on his shoulders, lending Mikey their strength. "Were here-Together."
TOGETHER
Mikey focused the accumulated energy sending it forward, reaching out for his Big brother, tearing open a hole in the fabric of the universe.
His teary eyes focus on Leo, lying prone through the glassy portal.
'He's okay!'
Mikey used his remaining strength to hold open the rift
'Just a little longer.'
Ralph reached and grabbed Leo pulling him through the portal. The Kraang saw the exit and tried to follow, but Mikey wouldn't let them.
The crackle of thunder roared as he slammed closed the dimensional doorway.
Mikey fell backward, and Raph held him up while Donnie catered to his injured twin.
"Leo!" Mikey cried with a raspy voice. He leaped out of Raphs arms, rushing towards Leo.
"Hey," Leo hugged Mikey, "Ew, are we on station Island?"
Come here," Raph sobbed, pulling his siblings into a protective hug.
"We survived! We're together! We're okay! 'Leo's okay, Raphs okay, Donnie's okay, everything's going to be okay.
Mikey then passed out.
