This is my very first chapter story and a plot which is bothering me for months now. I will just try it out and if you guys like it I'll continue. I also noticed a lot of people put disclaimers on their stories so I'll just do the same.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT.

When I wake up, the first thing that hits me is that everything hurts. The second thing, are the memories. At first my head is calm and a little fuzzy but within seconds all I can see are flashes of green, blue, red, purple and brown swirling around in my mind. Playing tag around the sewers. Leo reading to me. Raph showing me a wrestling move. Donnie giving me the toy car he had found and fixed. Master Splinter making my favorite tea. Us finishing our first kata. Our first night alone at the lair. Our first fight. Our first horror movie marathon. Our first time topside. Saving April. The time we fought Shredder. The Technodrome. Our party after. Meeting Casey. The Kraang invasion.

My head clears enough for me to be able to stand up. It still throbs painfully but at least it's manageable. I peek through the slits of my eyes and immediately know I'm in an abandoned, half-collapsed, sewer tunnel. One I recognize. I stand up shakily. I need to make it to the lair. Donnie can probably fix whatever is wrong with me or at least give me some painkillers. I notice I'm swaying but I can stay upright. With one hand on the slick, sewer walls for support, I stumble towards my home.

I don't know if it was because my head was woozy and painful. Or maybe I just didn't care to check my surroundings. But if I had taken the time just to look behind me, a lot of questions would already have been answered.

I have no idea how long I've been gone but I hope it isn't too long. If I could only remember how I managed to get myself knocked out in that tunnel. My gear is gone and so is my mask. Was it an attack? I wish I would at least still have my phone so I can contact the guys and tell them I'm okay. But no such luck. When I know I'm close to the entrance of the subway station, I start calling for help. My head is killing me and the world starts spinning again. Suddenly a body slams into mine. Soft hands slowly reach for my arms as if they're scared they would go right through me. When they finally touch me I hear a gasp. I lift my tired eyes slowly and my vision is invaded by a blur of powerful blue. I can hear my name. All of my names. 'Mike, Mikey, Michelangelo.' No Bonehead though. The insults are more Raph's job. The hands are now lifting me up by my shoulders. Only now I notice I'm sitting on my knees instead of standing. I must have collapsed.

I try to get my shaky legs under my body when it happens. A hot, bright flash makes its way through my skull. I know I'm screaming but I can't hear myself. When I open my eyes I see a dark blue. Not the mask of my brother though. It's darker. Like it's night. I feel gravel under me, no sewer floor. Rain pours down. Then another flash, like lightning, and I'm back in the sewers. Leo's eyes, almost seeming light blue after the darker colour I've just seen, watch me worriedly. Now I'm sure I've screamed. I want to reassure him that the pain is over but I can't. Dark spots, black this time, evade my vision till it's completely covered. The last thing I notice is Leo catching me when I fall into his arms.

I hope you liked it ;)
