Ever since he'd last talked to Ironhide, Mikey had been struggling with what he'd been told.
"We needed troops. We didn't have time to wait until they were old enough... they were created to be soldiers. We... raised them as best we could... but they knew their purpose."
Children, sent into battle. The idea just sat badly with him, and he had been thinking about it almost nonstop since the conversation.
Ironhide seemed like a good guy, and he'd sounded ashamed even talking about it. It should have been reassuring, but if anything it confused Mike more. If he was such a nice guy, why would he let something like that happen?
It had kept him awake all night, staring at the ceiling and thinking, wondering what kind of motive could justify it, imagining what it would have been like to be sent out to fight at such a young age. Hell, he and his brothers weren't even allowed out of the sewers until they were 16.
Finally he rolled out of bed and left his room. Maybe someone else would know better.
Mike knocked on Leo's door.
