This looks awesome! What does uncle Donnie & mikey look like in their 30s?
Pt 1 with Uncle Leo
Of course Donnie was the one who gave Casey the knife.
The apocalypse forces Donnie to finally build his battle shell. Without Draxum to guide him in training, Mikey had to figure out his mystic powers all by himself. His left arm is pretty much all scarred and held together by bandages. In a few years Donnie will probably have to build him a robot arm, when it finally disintegrates from Mikey being too stubborn to stop using his powers.
Leo was actually pretty adamant that he didn’t want to train Casey, no matter how many times the kid begged, because Leo was terrified that Casey would hate him when they were through. He’s not really sure how to make training safe, while still making sure Casey learns what he needs to in order to survive. As a sensei, he has to constantly ask everyone what proper training for a child would be—standing on glass for hours on end to train his legs?…No? What about a 100 handstand pushups using only two fingers? No again….okay…what should he do if Casey doesn’t learn after a few tries? He would never do the things Saki did to him, but without those punishments how is he supposed to make the lessons stick? Leo knows it’s wrong, but he hardly had any time to actually train under Splinter before the Kraang invaded. Usagi is a big help in the beginning.
Leo also has clear moments where he goes into Scary Mode on the battlefield, and the bloodlust that he worked so hard to banish from his mind comes back full-force. In these moments, his allies know to stay out of his way—they’re lucky if he can tell the difference between ally and enemy.
When Raph died—it was protecting Leo’s back in battle. As a result, Leo disappeared for four days, and everyone thought he’d died too, but Leo eventually makes his way back to their current base. When he returns covered in blood, he doesn’t talk to anyone for a full month. April and Mikey step up to lead, while Donnie stays with Leo and basically takes care of him, as Leo refused to take care of himself.
