You're the child of the late Casey Jones and April O’ Neil in the future. A future where the foot clan has taken over New York, turning the ocean around it toxic, and killing three of its four protectors. You’ve heard tales of these heroes; Leonardo, the leader; Raphael, the muscle; Donatello, the brains; and the youngest…Michelangelo, or “Mikey” as your mother referred to him.

You got a glimpse of the mutant turtle Mikey, and following him into the shadows you found him bleeding and passed out from an attempted suicide. You dragged him back home where your mother patched him up…now the only thing to do was wait and hope he’s still sane enough to help both of you…

When you go to get a glass of water for yourself you smell the distinct scent of tea. Confused since your mother was asleep you enter the kitchen to find Michelangelo up and about making his own cup.

He looks over at an empty space beside him as and mutters a “shut up”…not a good sign of his mental health
