Donnie tried again when he had his brothers full attention. They all looked at him.

"What I was trying to say earlier was that we might have come across another universe! Those look a likes were more than that!", exclaimed Donnie.

"You mean some colorful bunch of chumps that look like they're still babies are another version of us? Ugh, I'm done with this already. We don't have to talk to them right?", asked Raph with his arms behind his head.

"No not really, they seem to be doing fine. Although I'm not sure what happened for this to occur in the first place.", admitted Donnie as he looked over his laptop.

They all stood there for a moment and decided to leave them all alone. That is until Leo asked a big question.

"Do they... have a Splinter?", he said as he couldn't remember seeing them in the machine as they walked a round.

"Uh, not sure. I think so since they seemed to be very carefree. I mean from what I have seen they also live in a world full of mutants? Or something? I haven't seen any humans and everything in the city seemed so.... Alive but also dangerous.", he said.

Raph grunted and decided to leave the conversation where it was. He began to walk a way to go sulk in his room. He lost that fight with Leo.

He picked up his comic on the way. Mikey calling out after him with a bounce in his step. He waved him off, wanting to cool down.

Mikey comically pouted with crossed arms when Leo offered to watch TV and eat pizza with him.

"Only if I get to pick what movie to watch!", Mikey said.

"Okay...sure.", Leo relented.

Donnie watched them all just leave him behind and deadpanned.

"Okay...", he griped, "I'll just run a few test by myself! That's for being interested in this discovery with me!", he finished with a huff.

Donnie lost that fake heat in his eyes to grin and run back to his lab. He knew his brothers were excited to have something new happen, but they didn't have any reason to mess with these new them.

As long as these turtles were okay and looking chipper, they wouldn't reach out.
