Summary
This time, their visiting counterparts were younger, smarter, and a lot better at disappearing into thin air and shadows than the previous ones had been.
"We're here looking for our sensei," the little Leo told them. "Maybe you could help?"

Summary
There’s a sudden interruption of light. It’s like a tiny, localized dawn in this corner of Brooklyn alone. A glowing circle hangs over the pier, spilling warm yellow across the water and the boardwalk.
Mikey’s senses go to war with themselves. Obviously, historically, random portals are no good. His head knows that. But his heart is soothed by it, the way he feels when Raph is late coming home from patrol and he finally walks through the door.
It’s golden and gentle and it feels like family.
His brothers are tense, but they haven’t sprung into action yet. No one’s speaking. They must feel it, too.
Rise!Mikey’s portal in the prison dimension takes Leo a little bit farther than he meant for it to. 12!Mikey finds a familiar-looking stranger.

Summary
“While I can understand why a wave of short-circuiting neurons in your brain might seem like the most logical explanation for this,” Donatello says, which makes goddamn one of them, “I can promise you that this is real. You fell through a portal in Brooklyn.”
“A portal?” Blue asks. “A yellow one?”
“Yeah! You remember?” Mikey says brightly.
“I remember the light,” he replies slowly. He sets his cup down, and his hand drifts over to the crumpled-up photo sitting on the cot beside him. He doesn’t lift it or look at it, he just sets his hand on it, like he’s taking strength from its existence. “It was so dark and cold, and then the sun came out. I think I reached for it. I don’t know how I ended up here.”
Rise!Mikey's portal in the prison dimension takes Leo a little bit farther than he meant for it to. 03!Raph is beginning to wonder if he and his brothers will ever have a normal day, like, ever.

Summary
Splinter could not say he had ever taken the time to consider what it might have been like to meet another version of himself—one who had lived a similar life but had made different choices. He almost did not recognize himself at all in the fussy, short-tempered mutant sitting beside him.
From the way Lou was acting, it was as if he was any ordinary parent whose ordinary children had been taken in the night.
