   Summary

   Okay. So this was a time loop. On the absolute worst day of their lives. This couldn’t have happened on the day Lou Mike Tony's gave them free extra pizza?

   “Mikey, you okay?”

   He turned to see Leo lying on the Staten Island lot between Raph and Donnie, just like before. But unlike before, Leo’s eyes didn’t drift to his surroundings. They caught Mikey’s face and stayed there. He looked…horrified.

   Mikey felt a drop roll down his cheek, leaving warmth trailing behind. He reached up to wipe it away. It stung. Mikey turned his palm to see it smeared with blood.

   "Just a scratch.” Mikey caught his reflection and winced. And he’d thought Raph’s eye looked bad... But the sting merely highlighted a realization.

   This didn’t happen last time.

   As he glanced back toward Leo, who curled up with jagged breaths and eyes pinched shut, a determination settled in Mikey. Just like how they changed things for Casey’s timeline, the events of these time loops weren’t set in stone.

   And Mikey was going to do whatever it takes to save his brother’s life.

   This movie makes time travel canon and they think I’m NOT going to use it to time loop torture my favorite blue boy? Please.
