Hi again! Late, as always. Sorry. Lots of stories, which was probably a bad idea. And I have to do the sequel to Wolf Bites soon, so that's great. And that one's in a bigger book, and not done yet, so it'll take quite a while. Enjoy this headcanon! It takes place during the Space arc and after the season 4 finale.
Leo has no clue of what to do now that his father is gone, and he's terrified about not knowing how he's going provide for his brothers.
Leo sighed as he twisted in his new bed. He turned again. And again. This bed was so uncomfortable. It was a piece of metal under the mattress, he could swear on his life. He finally gave up and sat up, looking at the walls of is quarters.
Splinter...
Why...
Leo sniffled and put his head in his hands. It was his fault that his father was dead. He should've been there to stop the Shredder from stabbing his father.
Oh, God...
How would he take care of his brothers? He didn't know how to be sensei. He didn't know how to make them listen to him. He'd always had his father to guide him, but now... What if they couldn't save him in 6 months? What if they had to go the rest of their lives without Splinter?
The blue-clad leader lay back down and sobbed into his pillow for the rest of the night until he fell asleep, tears staining the pillow.
Leo sobbed as he stood next to Raphael at Splinter's funeral. April went up and put flowers on the grave. Leo grasped the walking stick he held even harder as he walked up and put the green, jade cane next to the flowers. He stood back as they all stood there, grieving. Now what? There was no way to bring Sensei back now! No time travel, no nothing. He was his brothers' Sensei, now...
No...
He couldn't boss them around without Splinter there to support him. He couldn't provide for them anymore. Soon, people started making their way back to the farmhouse, and quite a while after that, Leo went into the woods, and sat by the lake.
What if... What if Shredder was still alive?
Oh, no...
Couldn't think of another way to end it. Sorry. Review, rant, flame, check out my community, and vote on my poll before May 25! BYE!
