Leo pulled the manhole lid off, instead of the usually dirty alley or homeless man didn't meet his eye, instead memories. He could see the smashed trash can, were Mikey had decided smashed the Battle shell in to it. Leo felt a smile flicker on his lips as the memory came back to him.

Mikey frown "please can I drive the Battle shell" he said rubbing playfully against Donnie. Donnie frowned eyeing Leo and Raph, who were shaking their heads. Donnie sighed bowing his head.

"I'm going to regret this aren't I?" Slightly unsure .

Leo nodded watching Mikey climbed into the front seat, his blue eyes sparkled mischievously. His brothers quickly sensed danger from to the too well known face. Donnie face palmed in the passenger seat.

"TURN NOW!" Donnie shouted, his eyes wide, he stared at the alley way. Mikey's eyes were straight and determine on a trash can. Donnie's heart missed a beat, he couldn't actually be thinking?

Mikey foot pressed hard on the accelerator. The world darkened.

Mikey popped his head up as he pushed the door open. The Battle shell was one its side. Mikey felt a black eye forming, definitely worth it. Raph growled "MIKEY!" he shouted kicking the back door open "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"

"eeep" Mikey squealed climbing up the ladder near by. Leo groaned crawling out of the armoured car, his entire body hurt. He quickly helped Donnie out, who was on the side, The Battle shell had fallen.

"mental note" Donnie muttered slightly leaning on his staff "NEVER LET MIKEY DRIVE THE BATTLE SHELL," he shouted glaring at their younger brother. Mikey shrugged climbing into the back pulling a hawaiian pizza form it's box. Donnie sighed giving up.

"help me turn it over, so I can do some quick repairs to get it back to the lair, good thing I have spare tools in The Battle shell" he said annoyed, still glaring at Mikey.

"My sons" Splinter said as the turtles trudged back to the lair. He noted on the wounds the brothers were holding.

"what happened?" he asked concerned

"I'll tell you what happened," Raph shouted "Mikey happened" He stormed to direction of the dojo, probably to let is anger out on his punching bag.

Splinter eyed Mikey disappointly, his eyebrows raised .

Leo smiled at the memory of his brothers, he pushed tears back as he climbed to the roof of the restaurant building. The cold night air felt good. He heard the wind slash his masks ends around.

Leo hoped going for a run would help, he carefully form a map in his head, where he would go.

Every were he looked memory's, he noted the alleyway, where their first fight against foot ninja/Purple dragons . He half snorted, as he remembered they had thought foot ninja were hard enemies. Their first fight against The shredder, their brother recent fight against The Shredder, his brothers final fight…

Back at home

Leo layed on his bed breathing deeply, his brothers deaths replayed in his head. Every where he looked, memories. He couldn't pass a room without memories flooding his view. Mikey's childish grin that gave away a plan for a prank. Raph's annoyed face after Mikey stole his piece of pizza. Donnie concentrating on an invention or science project. The rooftops hadn't helped, Leo had hoped the rooves would help wash the pain for an hour, but up their had only made it

worse. A thought entered him while he was up their, was it really a good idea? He could leave, somewhere with no memories. Not a city or anywhere with a sewer. Country side, no where near Casey's farm. Maybe not even in America. He'd take the chopper, hide it. Leo sighed his mind argued the choice. Should he? He wished Splinter or his brothers where here. April or Casey... Actually not Casey. They'd know...

2 days later

Leo relaxed his mind, meditating. He knew Splinter always used meditating a good way to make decisions. Besides he knew his sensei would recommend it, that or listen to your heart, which he'd tried, several times. He didn't know what is heart said any more. All he could feel from it, was the empty unfillable hole formed at his family' s death.

He knew the answer he couldn't take. He WOULD leave. Take Donnie's old chopper find an isolated place, no humans, no memories, no pain. A new life...
