Oh, one of those. [Did it actually look like one of those-]
...don't suppose that one thing would be any good on the intruder, would it? [He taps his neck. He's not sure how aware Belos might be of things, but not saying something may make a difference.]
Maybe. I don't know. [That ring is wrapped up in so many other issues. Leo's own surety that it would have worked on Shredder, only for Big Mama to turn it around.]
It would have been my choice and one I only made because my teammate wouldn't just trust me! We could have threaded the needle, but he refused to think of anyone else, but himself!
One, not innocent. In fact, the only reason I haven't been hostile to her is because he asked me not to. Because unlike him, I can be considerate on what's important to my teammates!
Two, it would have been a few hours of badness compared to three days and we would have had healing for a bunch of other people!
Three, it was for a lot of sakes! Loki's, Crow's, hell, even her sake in trying to thread that needle! It just also included you!
It wasn't just yours! You didn't see Loki! The fact I wasted time arguing with him, Loki suffered more. He was suffering until our powers came back. Everything about that game, every step, was just more and more proof that I should have listened to my instincts.
You were just the absolute worst cherry on top. I told him I was willing to risk a loss because I knew you wouldn't want someone else to be hurt, but because he wouldn't give the smallest concession in return...
Everyone hurt.
The girl, Loki, Crow, you, Raph, and me...
[He wraps his arms around himself and the tears are forming at the corner of his eyes.]
You said big brothers protect little brothers, but because I wasn't willing to be as ruthless as I know I can be, you...you were...

...what was the purple button? [OF COURSE HE NOTICED THE PURPLE THING.]
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
What purple button?
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
Oh. That was one of Big Mama's short-range teleport coins for an exit from there.

Probably.
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
Are we gonna have to fight you again if we end up there?
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
No. You can just go in and get whatever, I'm not fighting you again.
[He didn't wanna do it in the first place.]
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
....how bad is it?
How hurt is he?
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
[He looks down at the ground now, not wanting to look Donnie in the face for it.]
He hasn't been able to fight back for a few days now.
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
When the ninpo cut out?
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
Re: 2nd - BATTLE NEXUS NYC
[He's shaking, a hand going over his eyes.]
I knew it. I knew I should have been selfish. I knew it.

Then quietly:]
You all seemed to think I should know how to do it in just a few months.
no subject
It wasn't about knowing how. It was about taking it seriously, not running off without us. Or at least letting us know you were.
Did you forget how often I'd criticize Raph?
no subject
I was never going to be good enough, so why bother?
