For someone who's been time travelling for years, Renet always hated messing up, but when her staff turned to that crimson red, she hated that more.

"Great." She mumbled to herself, but the three turtles were able to hear. She looked up at the three confused faces, and shook the staff; "it's overheated, we're stuck here." She didn't even look where 'here' was, but her three friends knew where they were.

"We're in the lair, I just can't figure out when," Leo whispered, looking at his surroundings. They ended up in the garage, and with the two doors ajar, anyone can see them. The garage was filled with old rummage toys, and boxes that no one used so Splinter stored it in this room. It was obvious that there was heavy rain earlier from the week, most boxes were wet, and the rags piled up in a soaking seep. He remembers they used the rags all the time to clean up the water from spilling into their home. Leo wanted to look through the boxes, to figure out what year they were in, and how far they were from saving Donnie, but…

"Someone's coming." Raph said in a harsh whisper, and Leo snapped back to reality and grabbed Renet as all four blended into the shadows. Out of habit, their eyes delved into a deep shade of white, quieting their breath and movement as the person passed by them.

They let a few seconds run before Raph poked his head out, to see himself, a younger version of himself, carrying a mug of hot tea to his old room he used to share with…

"We're in the right place, all right." He muttered; eyes glued to his younger self who opened their door wide to show a sick-toddler Donnie.

His brothers' and Renet all poked their heads out, with Leo and Mike looking at each other.

"I don't remember this, what's happening?" Mikey asked, he looked at Leo who shrugged, then to Raph, who failed to respond.

"Raph." Mikey said in annoyance, "what's happening?"

"Shut it, will ya? It's before Donnie and I went out." He whispered or failed to whisper his clear annoyance.

The four can see toddler Donnie propped up on his bed he shared with his brother, Raph who's sitting on the corner of the bed with him. Their voices were so high pitched, but they can hear them loud and clear.
