After the cockroach looking monster came after him, he thought this fight would last a lifetime. It was hard to even hit it without the long claws coming at you.

Leo punched at the ugly thing and it wrapped a claw around his forearm. It ripped off his wrist guard. The young ninja then threw a second punch with the same hand. The bug grabbed it again, but Leonardo couldn't get his arm away fast enough.

The claw dug into his arm, and it stung. There was a burning sensation going up fro the wound to his strong bicep. Leo winced, but refused to let out a cry. He unsheathed a sword and sliced the stomach open, making blue gel go everywhere. His arm was leaking blood, and a weird blackish color fluid. Leonardo grabbed his wrist guard and took out an extra one.

He wrapped both around the wound, to make sure that his brother's won't notice it. Raph ran up to him, breathless. They seemed to have beaten the monster, but Don tripped over a pipe and got a deep gash in his leg. Then Raph's concerns turned to Leo.

"Bro, you okay?"

"Yeah. Let's get Don home and take care of his wound. We don't want the risk of infection." Leo answered. He walked home, satisfied that his younger brother didn't notice his arm. The young turtle held his burning and aching arm on the way home. But, he would not tell his brothers about the claw getting him.

What his brothers don't know won't hurt them.

A/N: This chapter is meant to be short!! Ummm… Just letting you know.

The scene takes place in Season 4 when Bishop has the monsters running in the sewers. I switched everything though. Yeah, Don never gets infected. This is part one of my "What if…" series. Hope it's a good start!
