Preview art by KameChuu", "writing": "\tThe compassion Leo felt must have shown on his face, because Mikey ducked his head and said, ``Sorry Leo; that was kind of a heavy thing to lay on you.''\n\n\tLeo put an arm around Mikey's shoulders and placed the fingers of his other hand beneath Mikey's chin in order to lift it.\n\n\t``Oh no, Mikey, you have nothing to be sorry for,'' Leo said gently. He held Mikey's eyes with his own, willing the younger turtle not to look away. ``I don't know exactly what happened and I'd like to because I think it would help you to talk about it. But I need for you to know that setting fire to things is a favored method of intimidation by the Dragons.''\n\n\t``So my school isn't the only thing they've burned?'' Mikey asked, a deep frown furrowing his brow.\n\n\t``It isn't by a long shot,'' Leo said and then carefully added, ``We have another friend who has a deep hatred of the Purple Dragons because his family was victimized by them. Casey's mother suffered a heart attack and died because the Dragons set fire to the apartment building she lived in.''\n\n\t``Dude,'' Mikey said, his eyes wide. ``Your friend has more of a beef with the Dragons than I do.''\n\n\t``Casey and my brother Raphael spend a lot of time together,'' Leo said, deciding to introduce his hot headed brother into the conversation once more. ``They specifically track down Purple Dragon activity and attempt to stop it. Mostly they're successful.''\n\n\t``Have the Dragons tried to trap you the way they did with me tonight?'' Mikey asked.\n\n\t``Several times; they even managed to get their hands on both Casey and Raphael on separate occasions. We helped Casey get away from them and Raphael escaped on his own,'' Leo answered.\n\n\t``Raphael is really big and he looks strong,'' Mikey said. ``I could tell the Dragons were scared of him during our fight. I could hear your brother shouting the entire time.''\n\n\tLeo smiled. ``We have kind of a nickname for Raphael; we call him `psycho'. He can get very emotional at times and prefers to jump directly into a fight rather than to find another solution. He is very, very good; something our enemies have learned the hard way.''\n\n\t``Does he fight with you and Don?'' Mikey asked.\n\n\t``He doesn't often fight with Donny,'' Leo said, liking how warm his genius brothers' new nickname sounded. ``None of us do; Donny is very mellow most of the time. Raphael and I do tend to argue quite a bit though. I am the leader of our clan and Raphael doesn't particularly like to be led.''\n\n\t``Leader,'' Mikey repeated in a near whisper. The admiration was shining in his eyes once more, lighting up the vivid blue into a beacon that pulled at Leo's heart. ``That means you say what the others have to do. Did you figure out how to find me and how to come to my rescue?''\n\n\tLeo felt a little flustered; he wasn't used to talking about himself. ``I was worried about you,'' he said. ``Casey hears things and said that the Dragons were planning an ambush. It was simple battle tactics to surprise and overwhelm them once their attack began.''\n\n\t``You know about battle tactics and being a ninja,'' Mikey said, still sounding awed. ``I'll bet you know a lot more stuff too. What happens when Raphael doesn't want to do what you say? Does he get mean?''\n\n\tLeo was pleased that Mikey had said his brother's name so readily, but he knew Mikey wouldn't be comfortable with the idea of meeting Raphael until the red banded turtle seemed less intimidating.\n\n\t``I won't lie and say he doesn't have a temper,'' Leo said carefully. ``For Raphael, family is everything. He argues because he needs to feel that my decisions are what is best for us and his questions do serve an important purpose for me. They make me look at each plan from every angle, they make me question what I've perceived so that I'm not fooled by how something appears.\n\n\t``He forces me to be the best that I can be and then push to be better even than that. Raphael reminds me that humility is an important part of leadership and that complacency has no part in what I do. He also refuses to allow any of us to sacrifice ourselves because he never gives up, he never quits.''\n\n\t``You guys aren't just brothers, you're a team,'' Mikey observed.\n\n\t``We are,'' Leo acknowledged and then he had an idea. Mikey seemed more accepting of Don after anointing the genius with a shorter name; somehow that act had helped the youngster to accept the other turtle. Almost as soon as he thought it, Leo said, ``But you know what? Psycho isn't the best nickname for us to be calling Raphael. Could you think of something better?''\n\n\t``Oh sure, that's easy,'' Mikey said. ``Raph. You can say that a lot faster than Raphael if you're trying to win an argument with him. Wait, you could also call him Raphie. Bet that would throw him off his game.''\n\n\tLeo had to smile as a mental picture of Raph's face after having been called `Raphie' played through his mind. Mikey really was perceptive when it came to figuring out how to deal with different personality types. That fact was amazing considering how Mikey really had very little interaction with others. It was a gift that Leo could definitely see having many uses; an ability that would perfectly round out his team.\n\n\t``I like that name; both of them actually,'' Leo said. ``Although I think Donny could get away with calling him `Raphie' a little easier than I could. Please tell me the rest of your story, Mikey. I want to know what led up to the Dragons burning your school and I'd also like to know how you moved from the bo staff to nunchakus.''\n\n\t``Still not tired of listening to me talk? You've got stamina [i]and [/i]patience,'' Mikey said jokingly, easing into a more relaxed attitude again. Squirming a little, he added, ``How about we move somewhere more comfortable? My butt's going to sleep on this wooden bench.''\n\n\t``Are you going to show me your inner sanctum?'' Leo asked teasingly.\n\n\t``Yeah, why not? If you were a threat I guess you'd have made your move already,'' Mikey said as he stood up.\n\n\t``I had a feeling we were out here because you were afraid you might need room to maneuver,'' Leo said.\n\n\tMikey grinned cheekily. ``I wouldn't say I was afraid, I'd say I was being cautious.''\n\n\tLeo picked up the snack tray and Mikey snagged the water bottles before leading the way to the ticket booths that served as his private rooms.\n\n\tMikey held the door open for Leo to pass through and stepped in behind his guest. The room they entered was a space of about ten feet wide and twelve feet deep. Attached to the walls were counters where ticket sellers conducted business and which now held an assortment of dishes, canned goods, and other food stuffs. Against the furthest wall was a mini-refrigerator, a microwave and a small two burner electric stove.\n\n\t``My kitchen,'' Mikey said as Leo glanced around.\n\n\t``Where do you get the electricity from?'' Leo asked.\n\n\t``I have a gas generator,'' Mikey told him, putting the water bottles on a counter. ``Come on, set the platter down and I'll give you the grand tour.''\n\n\tLeo placed the snacks on the nearest counter and followed his host. On opposite walls of the `kitchen' were two doors and Mikey took the one that went to the right first. The room they entered was obviously used as a storage space; shelves held all manner of things from electronics, to bedding and clothes, to toys and books, and a lot of other things that Leo couldn't take in with one glance.\n\n\tA smaller room off of that one was where Mikey's generator stood. There was a table covered in tools and several large canisters of gasoline stood against the far wall.\n\n\t``I keep the generator as far from where I sleep as I possibly can,'' Mikey said. ``That way if it catches fire or blows up I have a chance of getting out alive.''\n\n\t``Where did you get all of these things?'' Leo asked.\n\n\t``My school was pretty much a total loss after the fire,'' Mikey said, ``but some things didn't burn. The teacher's lounge was hardly touched by the flames and I was able to sneak past the police who were guarding the scene and get their mini fridge, TV and microwave. The oven was one they replaced because it was too small and it was in the basement; the fire didn't reach down there. I got the generator from the basement too.''\n\n\t``That must have required some stealth to get in and back out with such large items,'' Leo said, once again amazed at the young turtles ability and ingenuity.\n\n\t``I've had a lot of practice,'' Mikey said simply. ``There's another way down here in the old tunnels, `cause obviously this stuff wouldn't fit in the pipe we came through. Let me show you the rest of my home.''\n\n\tRetracing their steps, Mikey led the way into the left wing of his home. There was a short hallway off the kitchen and then it opened out into a large room that had probably at one time been the station manager's office.\n\n\tMichelangelo had turned this space into a bedroom. Against the farthest wall were several wooden pallets pushed together and stacked two deep, atop which sat a queen sized mattress. There were shelves holding books, a coffee table and nightstand, and a short sturdy dresser which held Mikey's television set.\n\n\tA small desk stood against another wall, on top of it was a lamp, a laptop computer, and writing materials. The walls were decorated with murals and posters, mostly of super heroes, but there was one good sized poster of Bruce Lee.\n\n\tThe wall above the desk held weapons; a couple of bo staffs, a shelf of shuriken and spikes, another set of nunchucks, and an assortment of bladed weapons.\n\n\t``My bedroom,'' Mikey said unnecessarily and when Leo turned to look at him, he saw that the younger turtle seemed a little ill at ease.\n\n\t``It looks very comfortable,'' Leo said. ``You've got everything here.''\n\n\t``Everything except a bathroom,'' Mikey said, recovering a bit of his humor. ``The one we came through was the men's room but it's wrecked, so I use the women's room. It's nicer and closer to here anyway. Fresh water still comes in there and I dragged a tub from the junkyard down here so I can bathe. I just have to heat the water on the stove first. I use a big bucket for washing the dirty dishes.''\n\n\t``I'm very impressed,'' Leo said.\n\n\tMikey shrugged, appearing nervous. ``The internet helped me figure out a lot of stuff. Um, I don't have any chairs but the bed is comfortable if you don't mind sitting there with me.''\n\n\tLeo struggled to hide his excitement, though his heart began to pound a little faster. There was absolutely no other place he'd rather be than on a bed with Mikey.\n\n\t``I don't mind that at all, Mikey,'' Leo said, moving over to the bed and taking a seat. Patting the spot next to him, Leo said, ``Join me. You have a story to finish and I can't wait to hear it.''\n\n\tThe young turtle glanced up at Leo and then looked down as he walked across the room. Slowly lowering himself onto the bed, Mikey sat close enough to Leo that the older turtle could feel his body heat.\n\n\tMikey turned his head to look shyly at Leo, a flush coloring the youngster's neck and face. Leo immediately smelled a change in Mikey's scent; a spike in his pheromones that teased and tantalized Leo's senses.\n\n\tLeo hoped he could hold it together until he was sure that Mikey understood the signals the younger turtle was sending him. Feeling his arousal growing, Leo had an idea that it was going to take every bit of focus he could muster not to simply pounce on Mikey.\n\nTBC................\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tThe compassion Leo felt must have shown on his face, because Mikey ducked his head and said, ``Sorry Leo; that was kind of a heavy thing to lay on you.''

\tMikey held the door open for Leo to pass through and stepped in behind his guest.  The room they entered was a space of about ten feet wide and twelve feet deep.  Attached to the walls were counters where ticket sellers conducted business and which now held an assortment of dishes, canned goods, and other food stuffs.  Against the furthest wall was a mini-refrigerator, a microwave and a small two burner electric stove.

\t``My kitchen,'' Mikey said as Leo glanced around.

\t``Where do you get the electricity from?'' Leo asked.

\t``I have a gas generator,'' Mikey told him, putting the water bottles on a counter.  ``Come on, set the platter down and I'll give you the grand tour.''

\tLeo placed the snacks on the nearest counter and followed his host.  On opposite walls of the `kitchen' were two doors and Mikey took the one that went to the right first.  The room they entered was obviously used as a storage space; shelves held all manner of things from electronics, to bedding and clothes, to toys and books, and a lot of other things that Leo couldn't take in with one glance.

\tA smaller room off of that one was where Mikey's generator stood.  There was a table covered in tools and several large canisters of gasoline stood against the far wall.

\t``I keep the generator as far from where I sleep as I possibly can,'' Mikey said.  ``That way if it catches fire or blows up I have a chance of getting out alive.''

\t``Where did you get all of these things?'' Leo asked.

\t``My school was pretty much a total loss after the fire,'' Mikey said, ``but some things didn't burn.  The teacher's lounge was hardly touched by the flames and I was able to sneak past the police who were guarding the scene and get their mini fridge, TV and microwave.  The oven was one they replaced because it was too small and it was in the basement; the fire didn't reach down there.  I got the generator from the basement too.''

\t``That must have required some stealth to get in and back out with such large items,'' Leo said, once again amazed at the young turtles ability and ingenuity.

\t``I've had a lot of practice,'' Mikey said simply.  ``There's another way down here in the old tunnels, `cause obviously this stuff wouldn't fit in the pipe we came through.  Let me show you the rest of my home.''

\tRetracing their steps, Mikey led the way into the left wing of his home.  There was a short hallway off the kitchen and then it opened out into a large room that had probably at one time been the station manager's office.

\tMichelangelo had turned this space into a bedroom.  Against the farthest wall were several wooden pallets pushed together and stacked two deep, atop which sat a queen sized mattress.  There were shelves holding books, a coffee table and nightstand, and a short sturdy dresser which held Mikey's television set.

\tA small desk stood against another wall, on top of it was a lamp, a laptop computer, and writing materials.  The walls were decorated with murals and posters, mostly of super heroes, but there was one good sized poster of Bruce Lee.

\tThe wall above the desk held weapons; a couple of bo staffs, a shelf of shuriken and spikes, another set of nunchucks, and an assortment of bladed weapons.

\t``My bedroom,'' Mikey said unnecessarily and when Leo turned to look at him, he saw that the younger turtle seemed a little ill at ease.

\t``It looks very comfortable,'' Leo said.  ``You've got everything here.''

\t``Everything except a bathroom,'' Mikey said, recovering a bit of his humor.  ``The one we came through was the men's room but it's wrecked, so I use the women's room.  It's nicer and closer to here anyway.  Fresh water still comes in there and I dragged a tub from the junkyard down here so I can bathe.  I just have to heat the water on the stove first.  I use a big bucket for washing the dirty dishes.''

\t``I'm very impressed,'' Leo said.

\tMikey shrugged, appearing nervous.  ``The internet helped me figure out a lot of stuff.  Um, I don't have any chairs but the bed is comfortable if you don't mind sitting there with me.''

\tLeo struggled to hide his excitement, though his heart began to pound a little faster.  There was absolutely no other place he'd rather be than on a bed with Mikey.

\t``I don't mind that at all, Mikey,'' Leo said, moving over to the bed and taking a seat.  Patting the spot next to him, Leo said, ``Join me.  You have a story to finish and I can't wait to hear it.''

\tThe young turtle glanced up at Leo and then looked down as he walked across the room.  Slowly lowering himself onto the bed, Mikey sat close enough to Leo that the older turtle could feel his body heat.

\tMikey turned his head to look shyly at Leo, a flush coloring the youngster's neck and face.  Leo immediately smelled a change in Mikey's scent; a spike in his pheromones that teased and tantalized Leo's senses.

\tLeo hoped he could hold it together until he was sure that Mikey understood the signals the younger turtle was sending him.  Feeling his arousal growing, Leo had an idea that it was going to take every bit of focus he could muster not to simply pounce on Mikey.
