Welp, here's my attempt at another tmnt fic. Umm, one warning before we begin: The updates to this story will be slow. I want to make sure I get the character's reactions on point. This prologue will be very short, but I've already started on chapter one.

Genre: A dash of hurt/comfort, a pinch of adventure, a spoonful of tragedy, a hella lotta angst with a sprinkling of horror.

2012-verse! Leo can travel through dimensions! Dimension-traveler Leo! He really just wants to go home!

Prologue: Here We Go Again

. . . . . .

Everything was still but now it's moving again.

There's never silence.

His right eye is throbbing, and he can feel liquid stream down his face but chooses to ignore it – it's better to ignore the pain. Reality is re-shaping and morphing, probably bringing him to who-the fuck-knows where.

Again.

He just went limp and watched the inconsistent colors clash repeatedly over and over again. On the very few occasions, the colors would intertwine and come together as one. The sight of the colors clinging to each other had, once, made his heart throb rapidly in excitement and would bring a smile to his face. But now, it only caused him heartache. They were just false promises of what he desired because they were the same as the ones on that day.

Sensei-Master Splinter – no, Father...

Green eyes...bad temper but soft heart...Raphael...

Tall...gap between two front teeth...Donatello...

Freckles...big, sunny smile...Michaelangelo...

...my brothers.

He reached up to cover his already bandaged eye, a small spark of hope and determination burned within his chest. His next destination was coming closer.

'One day,' he inwardly promised, 'I'll return, so please...please wait for me!'

Laughter echoes within the depths of his mind and a sharp pain licks at his covered eye.

Your fire will burn out, just as it always does.


Hope you all enjoyed that little prologue~
