I'M BACK DUDES AND DUDETTES!
Repeat: I'm not the turtles owner. ^_^ Enjoy!
LOST MEMORIES.
2-DO I KNOW YOU?
The turtles returned to the lair, carrying with his wounded brother Leonardo. Raph and Mikey put him on his bed while Donatello cleaned the blood on his head and bandaging it.
"Is he… gonna make it, Don?" Mikey asked.
"Maybe... but what worries me the most is the hit on his head, but… we'll know more about his condition tomorrow" Donatello said sadly.
Both turtles left the room. Raphael stayed.
"I screwed it… I really did it this time! … Leo… I'm so sorry bro…" Raph said placing a hand on his brother' shoulder.
Next day… Mikey got up early and was in the kitchen. Don had to tell Master Splinter what happened last night, so… he went to his Master's room. On the other side, at Leo's room… Raph had finally fallen asleep after an entire night of vigil.
He was deeply slept, so deep… that he didn't notice his brother was starting to move. Slowly, Leo opened his eyes and blinked them twice. He started to look around the room... when Mikey came in with his breakfast.
"Wakey wakey, Raphie boy!... HEY… LEO'S AWAKE!"
Raphael woke up and saw his big brother finally awake.
"HEY BRO… I'm glad to see you're ok! So… how ya feeling?"
"My head is killing me… but I have only one question"
"Eh… ok bro… go ahead…"
"Who are you?"
Both turtles stared at each other in surprise.
"And… who am I!"
"Oh-oh!" both turtles said at the same time.
On Splinter's room, things were going not so bad.
"Mmm… I see. Your brother went too far this time… I hope his wounds are not serious"
"He only has some scratches on his arms and legs… but the wound on his head… sensei, I-I really did my best but…"
"Say no more my son. I will talk to Raphael and Leonardo…"
"DONNIE… MASTER SPLINTER… LEO'S AWAKE… BUT…" Mikey screamed as he entered into Splinter's room.
"Those are good news my son… "
"Wait… there was something more that you wanted to say…"
"YEAH… he's awake… but, HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE US! HE EVEN DOESN'T KNOW WHO HE IS!"
"Shell! I knew this was gonna happen!" Don said angrily and left Splinter's room.
"Master… do you think Leo will forget us… forever!"
"I do not know, my son… I do not know" the old rat said sadly.
Donatello arrived just to see a confused Leonardo and a worried Raphael.
"Don… finally you're here! What da shell is going on with him?"
"He's got amnesia, Raph. That's why I was worried about that hit on his head… I'll have to do some tests… eh… Leo…"
"Leo? That's my name?"
"Well… actually… your full name is…"
"Leonardo! My son!" Splinter said as he entered into Leo's room.
"Hmm… Leonardo… yeah, now I remember! And that voice… Master Splinter?"
"My son… do you remember me?"
"Well yeah… I'm not so sure how…"
"Maybe the sound of Master Splinter's voice activated Leo's hippocampus making him to search into his inner memories and…"
"BLAH BLAH BLAH… THIS AIN'T TIME FOR YOUR MEDICINE LESSONS BRAINIAC!" Raph said angrily.
"Donatello? … Of course! How can I forget my genius bro! " Leo said slapping his forehead.
"See what I mean! Only strong memories can make him to remember us"
"Hey Don… who is he? Is he ok again… is he gonna be alright!" Mikey asked desperately.
"Easy bro… he only has a little amnesia… but…"
"AHHH! I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE! WHEN DR. MALIGNUS HIT HIS BLASTER INTO SILVER SENTRY… THAT WAS THE WORST DAY FOR THE JUSTICE FORCE!"
"Mikey, bro! Je je… you and your comic books…" Leo said with a smirk.
"HE REMEMBERS ME… HE REMEMBERS ME!" the youngest turtle said and hugged his big brother.
"*Sigh* well… at least your amnesia wasn't so severe as I thought. Just in case… I'll have to do some tests Leo"
"Sure… but my head is still aching"
"Don't worry… you'll be fine"
"Hey Leo… ah… I… hafta… thank ya… "
"Mmm?"
"Ya know… 'bout yesterday…"
"Eh… I don't know what you're talking about… eh… what's your name?"
"Don't cha say ya don't know me… Fearless!"
"I'm sorry but… I can't remember you… I really can't!"
"Stop kidding me, it ain't funny!"
"Raphael… your brother had passed through a terrible accident… that actually was caused by your imprudence! It is necessary to give him time to recover. Do not pressure him"
"Maybe that part of his memories was the most affected because of the hit… but like I said, I have to do some tests… c'mon Leo"
Everybody but Raph left the room. He couldn't believe his brother had just forgotten him. In Don's lab… Leonardo's head was full with weird cables, all connected to several brain's analysis devices.
"Eh… Don… this is too weird!"
"Hang on just a sec, Leo. I have to be sure your brain didn't suffer mayor damage."
"Hey… about the other one… on my room… who is he anyway?"
"Are you sure you don't remember him? Raphael sounds familiar to you?"
"No… I'm kinda sure I've never heard that name before"
"Mmm… this is strange" Don said looking at the results on his computer.
"It seems that everything is ok…"
"Except for that Raphael guy that I can't remember" Leo sighed.
"I don't get it… you remember us, but you can't remember him… Mmm… maybe it's because… no, no… just forget it"
"What?"
"Well… strong memories of us bring your memories back to you… "
"And?"
"Let's just say… the only strong memory you could have about Raph is the time when he almost stab you a couple of months ago"
"HE TRIED TO STAB ME?"
"Oh-oh… I've shouldn't had told you that yet!"
Well, actually this story has place two months after the fight that Leo and Raph had on the 2007 CG movie. Raph didn't really wanted to stab him but he was nearly close to do it so… I decided to put that. ^_^ I'm still waiting some ideas for a Donatello' story.
