On the roof.

mnt_raph*Raph stands on the corner of his rooftop, barefoot and shirtless. The slightly unhinged look is accented by his lack of sleep and his "badly in need of a haircut", hair. Raph looks down at the doorway to Milliways. He knows it's not going to open, but he can't help watching it anyway.
He isn't angry.
He isn't upset.
In truth, Raph isn't anything.
What do you say to someone who's been spying on your mind?
Someone who's seen both your fears and sins first hand?
Is, I told you so!!, a proper response?
Of course, there is the whole lack of trust issue.
Why couldn't the two of them leave well alone?
He knows it doesn't happen often, but there are times when he says and does things for a reason.
He'd never told Penny about Lucindra, because he didn't want to worry her...or open the "other woman" can of worms.
Besides, what happened to her couldn't possibly happen in Milliways. Not with all of his New York frozen, so it was really a moot point.
He knew he'd have to talk to Tim about what, exactly, it was he was going to be helping with. His plan was to not say anything until they got the the Lair.
Admittedly, it wasn't one of his better plans.
Betrayed, ashamed, scared, angry, and alone, he stares out at the unchanging horizon.
He sighs and wonders how many more things could possible go wrong.
How much more can be broken.*
