this story is based off of tmnt 2012 series while the turtles, april and casey are at the farmhouse

i don't own tmnt

opening

it was morning at Aprils old farmhouse. there was only two bedrooms so everybody had to share a room with someone els. leo and raph were on one room, while donnie and Mikey were in another. april would sleep on the couch and casey had a air mattress, but he normally slept in the car he was working on in the barn. no one knew why, he just did.

they have been there for 3 months now and its only been a week since leo woke up. none of them knew if splinter was alive or not, but it seemed like the combination of almost losing leo and not knowing if splinter was alive was making the family just fall apart. they were almost always just doing their own thing. donnie in his lab, Mikey watching tv or cooking, raph training with casey. casey training with raph or working on the car, and april writing in her journal. the only one left was leo. nobody really knew what leo did all day, it seemed like a mystery to everyone. nobody ever asked, and if they did, leo would would just say "nothing"

he was still hurt and had to use a wooden crutch to get around. leo had hurt his right leg during the ambush at that construction sight during the invasion, he would mope around and beat himself up for being so weak, helpless, and just plain...not good enough. leo thought he failed his family, and was the only one who thought it, but leo was not the only one who was mentally struggling.

donnie still blamed himself for leo getting ambushed and hurt, he remembered that argument he had with leo like it was yesterday. he wanted to apologies to leo but he was just waiting until leo was ready to talk about it.

leo went through some intense trauma with the shredder , but if he wanted to be strong for his brothers, he had to get over it. like they would always say, "if one of us goes down, we all go down" leo was just trying his best, but it was all just too much for leo, he didn't know what to do. he got unwanted attention every time he would be in pain because of his stupid leg and he hated it.

all raph wanted to do was help leo heal so they could go back to new York and take down the kraang. leo was the only reason they were at that farmhouse, and he knew it, thats why he was so hard on himself.

authors note: its not much, but it should explain whats going on at the moment. you could say this was a teaser but it does not explain the adventure that awates. chapter 1 will be going up soom so stay tooned.
