Summary: He has three little brothers, not two. He has three, Leo was sure of it, but why does everyone else tell him otherwise?
Disclaimed: In my head I own TMNT, but in reality there are rules blocking me from making a dream coming true.
What's this ninja picking on someone that's not Mikey, how dare she do such a thing. That's right for today my subject going to be Leo. Why? I have no idea man, but it's just going to be.
"Leo, wake up."
"Guy's move I need room to work."
"My son, it is time for you to return to us."
Leo's eyes slowly opening, taking the sight around him, Raph, Donnie and Master Splinter looking at him with concern and worried expression. His eyes scan the room, he notices that he was in Donnie lab; he counts the faces in front of him.
One…
Two…
Three…
Two brothers and one sensei, he blinks something triggers in his mind trying to tell him something. Something was missing or was it someone? His eyes narrow at the thought, that wasn't possible there had always just been them, Raph and Donnie his two little brothers and of causer his adopted father.
Right?
Maybe his mind was only trying to tell him something, because he doesn't know how he got here, he knows in order to be in Donnie's care you have to be injury in a fight, but he doesn't remember the fight.
"Leo," he turns his head over to his purple mask brother.
"Yeah," he said.
"Do you know who I am?"
"Donnie," Donnie nods, before he points to Raph.
"What about him?"
"Raph," and now he points to Splinter.
"Sensei," he answers and Donnie smiles.
"Well done, Leo. Looks like you've still got your mind."
Someone missing, but who?
He doesn't understand his own thought there had always been three brothers. Him being the oldest, Raph the second oldest and Donnie the youngest in the family, there baby brother that Leo and Raph would do anything to protect.
Right?
Orange.
"What's wrong with him Donnie?" Raph said as he notices Leo looking around.
"Nothing Raph, he should be fine. I don't, I don't un-und-" Donnie had started to panic, he thought he had done everything right, but so far it wasn't working.
Leo's eyes look around as if he was trying to work out something as if he was even trying to find someone. If anything were too happened to his older brothers, because of him Donnie didn't think he could handle the guilt or the pain.
"Donatello my son claim your-self. Your work was well done I believe that your brother is simply only trying to remember the event that took place."
Donnie looks up to Master Splinter with hope in his eyes, he nods in understanding.
"Hey Leo," Donnie said walking towards his brother.
"Yeah Donnie."
"Do you know what happened," Leo shakes his head.
"No."
"You've been in a coma for three weeks Leo. We thought you weren't going to make it through," Donnie said.
"What happen?"
"We were fighting the Shredder and we were trying to protect you, because you were down. But, before he could stab us, you took the blade inserted and we had to quickly withdraw. We manage to escape, but due to blood lost, your body went into shock and then you went into a coma. We almost lost you."
Leo took notice the tears falling down his brother's face, he turned to see Splinter head down in sadness and notice Raph was doing his best not to cry.
"Hey Donnie, cheer up. You saved me didn't you?" Donne nods.
"You want to know why," he nods again, "because you are my baby brother and Raph my little brother."
Leo froze at his own sentence, for some reason it didn't seem right. Sure Donnie was his little brother, but not the baby brother, something was wrong, something was very wrong.
During the next couple of days Leo was force to be on bed rest and he hated every moment. The days seemed fine, it seemed normal his brothers didn't spend anytime with him like they normally did. Raph would always do his own thing and Donnie would always be in his lab, he would have normally been in the dojo if it wasn't for his bed rest.
Orange.
He closes his eyes shut as the word came through his mind again. He didn't understand, where had the word come from? It didn't mean anything to him, but guilt would flood over him every time he would think such a thing.
He sighs before going back to sleep, since it was the only thing he could do.
"Yo Leo, want to watch Space Hero's with me. You're going to turn into an old man if you're all work and no play."
Leo's quickly wakes up at the voice it sounded as if he should know, but he didn't know anyone with that voice. None of his brothers have it, none of their friends, so why is he meant to know it and why does he feel like punching himself for not knowing.
"Check it out bro. I can burp my A, B, C's."
Leo shakes his head and the next thing he knows he starts running out of his room passing a walking Raph. He didn't care about the yawing Donnie that had just come out of the lab and he walked straight into the Dojo, with two lost little brothers behind him wondering what was going on.
"Sensei," he said, the rat didn't open his eyes.
"Yes my son."
"Do we have another brother?"
Raph and Donnie exchanged worried expression and Splinter now opened his eyes, concern about the oldest child.
"I'm sorry my son, but can you repeat that for me."
"Do we have another brother a fourth one… who wears an orange mask?"
Splinter frowns he did not understand where this was coming from, to his knowledge there had never been a fourth turtle, a fourth son. He was worried where this had come from and he could tell by his youngest two sons that they were just as confusion. Leo panic when his father didn't reply straight away, he turns over towards Donnie and Raph who looked just as lost.
They do have another brother, don't they?
Leo's mind wouldn't lie to him, playing memory's that never happened. He knew they were real, because he could feel the emotions from the time it took place.
Happy.
Anger.
Annoyed.
Mikey?
"Sensei, where's Mikey?"
His sensei stood up from his mediation position and walked towards his son, standing in front of a panic Leo. He knew Leo was trying to hide his true emotions from him, but it was no use when he could sense the fear and worry.
"Who is this person you are talking about, child?"
Michelangelo.
"Michelangelo, his name is Michelangelo. Where is he?"
"Leonardo, you must understand. There has never been a fourth turtle and there has never been anyone named Michelangelo."
Leo's expression showed very little emotions as he was trying to stay strong for his brothers, but his eyes showed fear and anger. He felt as if he should be angry at his own sensei for not remembering; fear that something happened to him.
"Thanks little brother."
"But, but he's our little brother, my little brother. Nobody remembers?" He turns to face Raph and Donnie, who took one step back before shaking their head sadly.
"I have three little brothers there's four of us. Why doesn't anyone remember? Why doesn't anyone remember, Michelangelo?"
He couldn't help it, he sobs, he cries, he tried to stay strong, he tried his best, but he failed. He felt strong arms around him, his brothers calling out to him, but something was missing and he knows it.
I know this short, but it's only the first chapter. the next chapters will be the same length that I always write. :)
