[ The video feed loads and Mikey comes into view, frowning in concentration with his tongue sticking out. Computers are not his best subject. After about ten seconds he seems to realize that he's broadcasting and leans in, grabbing the console screen as if he can see everyone if he just gets close enough. ]

Uhhh... hello? This thing on?

[ He waves a two-fingered hand in front of the camera and sits back slightly. ]

So um, anyone know if this turtle gets DSL? 'Cause I gotta send a word back to my bros and I can't find the internet thingy on this computer.

[ Squinting at the console, a look of understanding dawns on his face. ]

Ohhhh what if I press--

Uh huh, that's him.

[ Mikey's just kinda staring at Peter's costume. ]

[He's used to it.]

Oh, good! Well, maybe. You two'll have to sort out for yourselves if you're from the same universe or not.

Yeah. This one's mine, Spidey. Thanks.

Really? Sweet. How many you got left?

Most of us are still waiting on any family, but I think you guys might actually be in the running to be the first to get everyone.

Mikey... would have been the last one. But - Donnie - he went missing a day ago. [And it rips Leo up inside - he's holding it together, but it bothers him deeply to have a brother just disappear.]

Don't let Mikey know.

Yeah, that's more your business than mine, pal.

But you should tell him. At least that way, maybe he'll be a little prepared if it happens to one of you guys.

[YEAH it's more Leo's business, and his tone screams of crossed arms and narrowed eyes. Wrangling his brothers in one capacity or another is something Leo's been doing his entire life and he's a little insulted to be offered such basic instruction. Mikey would be told, and soon, but he needed to hear it from Leo and he needed to hear it in person.]

I know how to handle my brother, thanks.

[Also the idea of Mikey being left here alone does NOT help Leo relax. Over his dead body. No, seriously: Over. His. Dead. Body.]

Wait what?

[ WAIT A SECOND ]

Is that why there's another me here?

Probably.

Welcome to the doppelganger club, pal. We used to have t-shirts, but they looked just like everyone else's.

Doppa-what?

[ Oh wait. Wait a second.

The joke sinks in and Mikey absolutely loses it laughing. ]

[GOSH, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES- oh, right, priorities.]

I wouldn't worry too much about the other you though. Unless they're the evil mirrorverse kind, you're usually pretty safe.

Evil mirrorverse?

[ Mikey perks up. ]

Or like, if they have a big mustache? Or a beard?

Evil twins always have stuff like that.

You'd think, right? That or they'd wear a bunch of black and spend all their free time being ominous.

Don't know for sure though, I've never really encountered an evil one yet.

[Because for a while he was the evil one, thanks symbiote.]

[ Mikey would probably think that was unbearably cool if he knew about Peter's "fun" with the symbiote. ]

We should really keep an eye out for them though. Just in case.
