( clenching his free hand , he looks up at the building with scrunched eyebrows . He was raised by the Shredder , who hated Lou and had always deemed him disappointing . . .
And Toshi never wanted to be like that . . . He never wanted to disappoint his father , [...]
( with sparkling eyes One led his brother to the apartment building. Getting a couple odd looks but..he knew his dad was out on important nexus business. )
Do you ever..wanna meet him?
The one you shouldn't fuck with .
(He replies , tail whipping behind him . The krang metal gleams under the lights of the city , pupils narrowing on Draxum as a low hiss escapes him .
His tail rattles menacingly .)
( Churring , a soft smile rests on his face . So he was right . Just a bit of pushing and that's all he needs . )
Maybe seeing all these people again and reliving what you like about them will help ?
( trembling as his head aches.. yet he feels something pop a little. The bond he feels wirh his twin driving those screws in his brain looser each time they were close like this. )
...I can feel you..
( Toshi gasps a little when he's yanked back into the hug . But slowly , he returns the hold and nods his head . )
I'm not leaving . I told you before that you're stuck with me now .
It's going to . But you have to push through eventually if you want to undo it .
It doesnt have to be now .
(Pulling back a little and rubbing a hand over One's head .)
You can work on it .
( but in this case , that's a good thing .
Toshi looks a little surprised that he's on the list . He always gives One such a hard time , he expected to be less to him than this .
Hugging his twin tightly , snuggling against his shoulder with happy purrs . His own , [...]
( Thinking about that for a long while before he slowly looks up to his twin. His heart aches...)
You.
I love you more than anything and..father and..mom cass..the alt you who helped raise me! ...
Dice..too..
( Cue a wince. Thinking about them all made his head pound. )
( tilting his head to one side , his brows scrunched sadly , he leans closer and rubs his snout to One's wet cheek . )
Let me see what I can do .
(He says , tapping his headset . His holographic visor lights up and scans One . All his upgrades light up in gold , including [...]
Toshi...make..make the fog go away. No matter what you have to do..I cant..I can't..be like this.
( slowly One looked to his brothers eyes. Fear reflecting in his own.)
[...] a the new ones . Many little pins in his brain .
It's a very complex surgery . . . But with a strong enough emotional reaction , they're bound to come undone .
But what could make One react enough to overload those pins ? )
You just need something emotionally [...]
You're surprised by this ? I've told you that he's a monster .
(Toshi hums . His hand lifts , wiping gently at his tears . )
But you're still crying . . . So it's definitely reversible , whatever he did .
( putting two and two together , he nods . )
So he kidnapped you and made sure you'd never leave .
( he mutters , his gauntlet-free hand finding One's . )
( slowly One nods his head. )
Lou Jitsu...our birth father was taking me in...he was going to take me away finally so I could come get you and we could leave..
( wiped up the blood on his hand , he licks it off of his finger .
It hardly tastes like blood . More like liquid metal , thick and gross with additives . )
Emotionally ?
I don't..know.
( Not even a flinch is given even as the wound leaks the faintest amounts of blood. )
I .. something is wrong though now I feel...nothing.
