Splinter is so clever. I love it!

Leo's nonexistent lying and acting skills never cease to amaze me. XD I know Leo is pretty much "mr. perfect" but there's three things I headcanon he wouldn't be able to do even if his life depended on it. And that's lie, sing, and whistle.

This chapter is still so wholesome!
I would have never known how to write a training session with the turtles in the condition they're in. But this is just brilliant :)

"Because in my dreams I can still see."
*Water blasts from my eyes like from two fire hoses.* Donnie boy! Nuuuuu!

Poor Raph is all dead inside by this point. I totally understand the whole thing with not wanting to use a wheelchair. Once he sits into one he'll fully embrace and show the fact that he's crippled. :( That hurts. It's kind of like going from being "Raph" to being "that cripple in a wheelchair". At least I think that's how he sees it.

But Leo's right to be rougher with him. He's been sulking for long enough. Even though even when I had read this story for the first time I was kind of hoping for some hugs and tears. But that's because Raph's my favorite and I like to see him suffering. It seems you didn't satisfy that with me and I had to write IHS. XD

Leo... QoQ
The ending of this chapter made me smile but it didn't really make me feel happy. I just want to give out more hugs. Aww Leo, you poor baby

But what really made me happy is the acknowledgement that knobs suck and that handles are superior in every way! Go handles! Wooo!

I'm never going to get over the fact that you made Raph say fuck in your story. XD

But on a more serious note, can I just hug everybody? Donnie? A strong protective hug. Mikey? A warm nuzzly hug. Leo? Gentle caring hug with my head on top of his. Splinter? A come-here-rat-dad compassionate hug. Raph? Forcefully pining his arms to his bed I'm-going-to-hug-you-if-it's-the-last-thing-I-do type of hug.

I still can't believe Rocksteady didn't make it into the history books. That's so sad. XD Renet should fix that and do an interview with him ...also because I like the way you write his dialogue.
Slavic accents are funny. Though I'm surprisingly bad at doing one. Except when it happens unintentionally of course!

Why do I feel I would act just like Raph in this chapter? I don't like that. And it doesn't make sense because I don't agree with what he's doing and I'm so frustrated with him and I want to kick his butt back into the lab.
But I guess I sometimes want to kick my own butt too. So I guess it does make sense... O.o

I'm rereading your story and this chapter, man... My achy breaky heart. I love Leo and Donnie's conversation here, especially towards the end where Leo actually has to find a way to comfort Donnie after his first few (in a way, a little cheesy) attempts get practically rejected by Donnie.
It's easy to write feel-good encouragement speeches but it's hard to make them unique, grounded and believable.

‘Start from the first page. That way you’ll know what he’s talking about.’ Excuse me if you need me I’ll be face down in that convenient puddle of tears over there.

Wow... Wow. That was seriously amazing...! Wow! Oh my gosh, wow. I can't believe they won't remember it! That kinda sucks, but it is better this way. Wow, amazing fantastic job!

Splinter, surely you must realize the foolhardiness of trying to find the scepter when you don't even know what it looks like! You'd think that he'd realize the importance of proper communication with his sons, but apparently not. This is rather frustrating for me, both because I think Splinter is smarter than this, and also because I'm sure that the outcome will be rather negative.

I'm glad that Splinter brought up the possibility of Mikey having to leave him behind. While I would usually have unconditional faith in Splinter's fighting capability and overall badassery, we've already seen Tigerclaw use the time scepter to win once, and I'm sure he'd have no qualms using it again. That thing is basically a way for Tigerclaw to hack every battle he has, by just duplicating himself and getting the upper hand. And, even without using the scepter, if Tigerclaw or one of the other mutants threatens to hurt one of the A team, then I doubt Splinter or Mikey will be able to rescue them that easily.

Mikey is as funny to read as ever. I like how you're able to still keep him very true to his original character through his inner thoughts alone.

Anyways, though I have bad feelings about it, I hope their mission goes well in the end. Leo and Raph need to get out, along with Renet of course!

I loved this chapter just like I loved the ones before it, but I have to wonder; why don't they try contacting someone like Dr. Rockwell to help? They'd definitely have met him by this point, and with his scientific knowledge he might be able to come up with some sort of temporary, if not permanent, solution for dealing with the turtles disabilities and experimenting on the purple dust.

Also, not sure if you're going to include them later or not, but it would be great to see outside characters like April and Casey reacting to what's happened with the B team. Donnie not being able to see April would definitely provide for some angst, and I'm sure Casey would become super indignant and mad about what's happened and try to get revenge with the A team. But if they aren't included, it's not the end of the world.

I've been binging this story every chance I get during my college break, and will continue doing so! I'm really excited to see where you take the plot and how you'll eventually resolve this.

Amazing ending! Loved every bit of this story and I’m almost sad it’s over. But the ending really makes it perfect. Thank you for writing this, I’ll be sure to read more of your work as soon as I can!

Wow Raph! That’s awesome! I can’t wait for all of this to get back to normal! I knew Leo would be hesitant, but Renet is right. They have to fix the timeline.
So good! I can’t wait to see how this ends!
