TMNT 2012: Mikey's Transformation (Mikey into human story)

I Promise

Raph's POV:

What......just happened.....? One minute this kid was fully conscious, and the next he passed out know Leo's, Don's, and my name right AFTER passing out. HE PASSED OUT THEN SAID OUR NAMES! WHAT THE HECK? The kid is unconscious, and I drop him, and he falls to the ground like a rag doll. If he was acting, he wasn't showing any sign of it.

"What was that?" Leo asked.

"And how did he know you're guy's names?" Casey asked.

"Mikey must have told him." I growled, picking the kid up.

"Raph, what are you doing?" Donnie asked.

"I'm bringing him to the lair. One way or another I'm going to get answers out of him!"

Jamie's POV:

I paced back and forth as I argued with the dispatcher (911 operator).

"I'm sorry, we can't search for him until 24 hours, and you said he has been only missing for 8. If you call me back tomorrow-"

"I can't wait until tomorrow! It's New York City for Pete's sake! The streets are dangerous, and the people here are dangerous! He's only 16, and he doesn't remember most of his life! I'm worried about him, and you should be too! He can be hurt and, and-"

"Maam, please calm down. I'm sorry but these are just the rules. I'll file a report and I'll have the police have an eye out for your son. They will going into the case, after 24 hours have passed. I'm sorry that I can't do more. Please just stay calm, and call us if he comes home." The operator said. I took a long deep breath, trying to calm down. I wiped a few tears off of my cheek.

"Ok, thank you. Good-bye." I said, hanging up. I wanted to scream at the operator, but that would probably only make the situation worse. I couldn't believe it. Michael was missing. How could I calm down from that? It's not like I could say, 'Oh, my 16 year old adopted son that doesn't remember most of his life, and I grew to love has disappeared to who knows where? Oh well! I'll just call the police and sit down by the fire and drink a cup of tea! It's not like Michael could be hurt or anything! That's ridiculous!'  You can't just calm down when someone you love is missing. You just can't. I wiped away all of my tears from crying.

 I was so worried about Michael. I knew that I had to find him, no matter what. I don't want him to be hurt again. I know the last time was my fault, but I messed up his life enough. I try my best to make it better by being a good......well......mother. Mikey never thought of me as his mother, which I was happy about. I didn't want him to. I wanted him to think of me as a friend. Someone he could talk to, and trust. Though, yeah, I treated him as if he were my son, and legally he is, but I'm not upset that he calls me Jamie instead of mom, and that I call him Michael, instead of son. I'm not his mom, and he's not my son, well, biologically anyway. I act like a mom, yes, but I act like a friend too. And that's how Michael treats me. A little as a mom, but mostly as a friend....

"I'm not waiting until tomorrow. I'm going to find him now!" I said, running out the door to find Michael.

Leo's POV:

"Raph, do you really think it's a good idea to bring someone we can't trust INTO THE LAIR?" I yelled at him.

"He's unconscious Leo! He won't see the way there!" Raph yelled back.

"For once, I'm going to side with Raph on this one. If it means finding Mikey, I would do anything. And the kid is clearly unconscious." Donnie pointed out.

"MICHAEL? WHERE ARE YOU?" We hear a voice shout out. It sounded like a woman's voice.

"Guys, that woman is calling out his name!" April said. I looked over, and saw a woman, in her late 20's walking around shouting Michael's name, looking for him.

"Wait, is that his mom?" Donnie asked. I focused on the woman's face and saw that she has been crying. It made my heart break. She was looking for her missing son, and we have him, unconscious, and he was about to be beaten to a pulp by Raph. Something just didn't feel right.... like something was off about this kid, Michael. I couldn't place my finger on it though.

"Come on, let's go before she finds us!" Raph said, about to climb the fire escape carrying Michael on his back like a rag doll.

"Raph! She's looking for Michael! Michael is her son!" I whisper yelled at him.

"So?" Raph whisper yelled back.

"We can't just take her son! Something just doesn't feel right...."

"You probably just have indigestion, now let's go." Raph said, climbing up the ladder again.

"Raph, we can't take him, knowing he has a worried mother after him. What will she think. Look, I'm not saying this kid is good, but we will be horrible people taking him away, making his mother think he's ran away, or hurt!" I told him. Raph looked at me anger filling his eyes. He thought about it for a few seconds, then his eyes softened. He let out a long sigh. He knew I was right. He jumped off of the ladder, and set Michael down carefully. He then, took off Mikey's eye mask off of Michael's head, and  unzipped his bookbag and grabbed Mikey's nunchuck.

"I'm not letting him keep these. They belong to Mikey." Raph said, holding the items tighter. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I know Raph. And I know this is hard, but this is the right thing to do. I can feel it." I told him. He looked at me with sadness, but that sadness turned into anger. He pushed me, and walked a few steps away from me. I gave out a sigh, and looked at Michael. He looked like an average teen, but, he just looked......innocent. It was the look that Mikey always had. For some reason, I felt like this was the right thing to do. It didn't seem like it, but it was. I just know. Michael's mom kept calling his name.

"C'mon guys, let's go." I said. I bumped over a few trash cans before jumping on the roof. Hopefully that got her attention.

Raph's POV:

I stared at Mikey's mask, and nunchucks in my hand. I still didn't want to except that he was gone. It angered me so much. I tightened my hand, holding onto the items tight. I remembered what I did with Mikey. I would only yell at him, punch him, slap him, and argue with him.  What kind of brother am I? I'm the worst. And now when I realized it, there is no going back! I can't tell Mikey how sorry I am until we find him! And we might not! I tried my best not to cry but, the tears came out anyway. Luckily no one was looking at me.

"I promise Mikey, when we find you, and we will find you, I promise to be a better brother. I promise to find you. I promise to not let you get hurt again." I whispered silently, as if he was right there next to me.

Jamie's POV:

As I was looking for Michael, I heard this big crash, I looked over to see where the sound came from and I saw Michael, unconscious, laying on the ground!

"MICHAEL!" I cried, running to him as fast as I could. when I got to him, he looked mostly alright. He did have a bruise or two. I don't know if he got into a fight or what, but I was just glad that he was found. I immediately called the ambulance to take him to the hospital. They would be here any minute. I looked at Michael, and then realized something. His mask was gone. I looked around, but I couldn't see it. I began to here ambulance sirens far away, slowly getting closer. I smiled.

"Thank goodness." I whispered. I looked down at Michael, and smiled.

"Don't worry, your going to be okay. I promise. I won't let anything happen to you again! I already messed up once, and this is my fault too! I should have waited until letting you go to school! This is all my fault! I should be a better parent but....." At this point, I was crying very hard. I was trying to wipe away my tears, but they kept coming. Then, I felt something wrapped around my hand. I looked down, and saw Michael holding my hand. He was still unconscious though. I smiled. It looked like he would be alright.

The ambulance came, and paramedics picked up Michael, and put him on a gurney. We entered the ambulance, as the paramedics looked to make sure he was still breathing and there was nothing they needed to heal right away, that was life threatening.

"I won't let anything happen to you again, I promise."
