Today was a night like any other, his father Splinter had sent Mikey and his brothers to get the groceries, something they did 2 or 3 times a week along with the list that Splinter gave them of the things they had to bring home

Tonight it was Mikey's turn to bring the cleaning products, he was glad because normally Leo would send him to get the chips, and Mikey took that order thinking that his brothers now had more confidence in him, and this time he would try not to get distracted, well, that's what he thought

Mikey easily got the cleaning products, although the cashier at the store almost caught him, he managed to avoid her successfully, Mikey felt more confident, as if his self-esteem had improved to 1000%, so he wanted to show his brothers that he was not just the funny little brother, he told his brothers that this time he would take a shortcut to get home, his brothers were confused but they gave Mikey their vote of confidence Just to see if he was really capable

Mikey happily jumped from rooftop to rooftop, wanting to get to the sewers before his brothers, until he reached a rooftop where there was a human looking at the sky while listening to music on his headphones, the human quickly noticed Mikey's presence, the human's face was full of surprise and amazement as he looked at Mikey. While Mikey was on the verge of cardiac arrest, it was the first time he saw a human so close and that a human looked at him, and deep down, he felt panic, thinking that if the human touched him, he would die, since his father always told him that the touch of a human was deadly, it sounded silly but now that memory was more vivid thanks to fear

Mikey stared at the human trying to think of what to do, nerves consumed him while the human was just watching him

"Uh- eh... I-I'm not real! I-I'm like... eh... Marvel's new effects and cgi! That! I-I'll soon disappear... uh... buuuuuhhhh or whatever sound ghosts make" he said stuttering while his hands shook
