At some point I'd like Mikey to really show his brothers that he's capable of handing them their shells if he really wanted. That's why I think a mind controlled Mikey would be terrifying…and deadly effective. So here's my idea of a dark "Clash of the Mutanimals" AU. Assumption is while controlled you don't know what's happening and have no memory of it after.

Flinch

One second. That's all it took to put the smartest person you know on his carapace out cold, a steady trickle of blood forming a puddle under the best brain you know you'd ever get the chance to witness.

One heartbeat. That's all it took and one of the best warriors you'll ever know is bleeding out on the floor behind you because he was cocky and didn't pay attention to the enemy in the first moments of this confrontation.

The enemy with your little brother's face.

Now you're all that's left in the face of this evil, but how can you possibly cut him down? How when he wears your happy-go-lucky baby brother's face, which is now eerily stony and laser focused on you?

He's fast. You knew that but never fully understood the extent until he cut down Raphael with startling precision. One strike with the bladed gauntlets and whatever artery he cut is leaking Raph's life all over the floor behind you. Raph hadn't even time to blink. But he isn't just fast.

He's agile too. The ability to turn on a dime was always his strong point. It made his path clear when he could dodge around Donnie's bo and knock him across the room, slamming his head against the brick wall. Now more than ever it will probably be your undoing.

Don't let him know it hurts. Your heart tells your head. What?

Show emotion and Shredder will release him from his control and your baby brother will have to watch your life spill out over his arms. He'll never forgive himself if he has to watch your face as you die by his hand.

Just barely you notice him change weight. He's about to strike and you know while you might be able to block the first attack; the second will more than likely get through. He knows all your moves after all.

If you love Michelangelo…your heart screams and rattles against your ribs as he starts to charge you...

If you love your brother Leo,

Don't. Flinch.
