    Summary

    An unexpected opportunity comes along for our SAINW-boys, but the price may be too high

    **********************

    Something in the stalled breaths, in the cold silence of the moment, must’ve caught at Renet’s attention, pulling at it like a stray wire pulls at the loose, looping yarn of a sweater—the tiny beginning to a rapid unraveling. Renet’s brow furrowed questioningly.

    “Where should Donnie be, Renet?” Raph probably thought his tone was calm, but it came off as menacing.

    Summary

    The guilt burned like acid, but almost worse was that intent care and worry pulling him apart like taffy. He wanted to hide. He wanted to box himself up in a neat pretty package, plastic and infallible. He couldn’t let go of the feeling that somewhere, there existed a perfect amount of Leo—enough for his family but not too much for everyone else—and he just couldn’t seem to find it.


    Donnie clears some things up for Leo.

    Summary

    Mikey and Donnie play ‘monster’. This is an extension of an opening scene from the episode immediately following "Good Genes".

    ********************************
    “Rooooaaar!” Donnie’s fake-monster bellow echoed from the nearby buildings, layered with his brother’s laughter as Mikey slid under Don’s outstretched arms and vaulted away.

    “Mikey could’ve lost his leg. Donnie could’ve lost his life!” Leo felt sick. “I thought getting us back out here would help us get away from thinking about it for a minute. Move forward. Move past it. I didn’t expect…” Leo’s mouth thinned into a hard line. He rubbed a palm anxiously across his scalp. “I didn’t expect them to bring it with us like this.”

    Summary

    “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”

    Donnie didn’t look up from what he was doing, typing on his laptop at top speed. “Why would you be a worm?”

    “Stop asking for specifics and answer the question.” Leo was sitting on the floor next to his bed. He’d shown up and refused to leave, even though it was four AM.

    “I’m busy, Nardo.” Donnie said, rolling his eyes.

    Summary

    The wonders of their time in the Cretaceous reveal something different about Raph.

    *****************************

    “WHAAAAAT?!” Mikey’s cry rang through the trees, sending a pair of startled Avisaurus wheeling into the sky.

    Raphael just sat there, slack-jawed and confused. Gradually, his eyes narrowed.

    “Raph can see ultraviolet?!” Mikey’s voice was still several octaves too high and loud enough to echo. “Raph can see a color that I can’t see?”
