Hello! I wanted to answer some comments again, so yah. I can't answer all of them because some of them apply to earlier chapters and some of them are too short to answer but I answered what I could.
yuiko87: No, I don't need help in the Spanish, as you said. I'm just doing it to get ahead in my classes and to give myself and extra elective space. I agree with you when you said you would rather have a blind and happy Leo then a sad one that could see. Hope you enjoy this chapter and good luck and take care to you as well.
LeoLover13: Thank you for the compliment on my story, and I guess you'll just have to keep reading.
leggo lover 99: Yah, Mikey and Donnie will be awkward. But you'll like this chapter, at least I hope you will.
Reader115: Thanks! I thought it was the best way to explain it. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter of your story!
flikaroo: I'm doing my best to keep the characters how they are. A lot of people like to change how they act but I like them just the way they are and I'm glad to see I'm doing a good job of keeping it that way.
: Well, here's more. Hehe. And yes I wanted to have Raph be on Leo's side because I love Leo/Raph fluff. Not to say I don't like the others it's just that these two are my favorite.
lancehurt99: Where to start with this, hmm. Well, first I'm glad you like the story. Second if you could give me more detail about how you would want the story to be that would be nice. I would love to do a story that featured Raph, Leo, and Slash for you but I would prefer it if you told me more detail about how exactly the story would go or specify to me that you would prefer me to make up an idea.
Also I won't be starting another story until I finished this one. I see a lot of writers who try to write two or three stories at once and then they end up forgetting about the old story. I will take request but if I turn down your idea please know that it's only because I felt like I wouldn't be able to make a good enough story based off the idea, not because your idea was bad.
I was going to cut out this first scene but I got so many comments about Raph and Leo fluff that I decided to leave it in. Sorry if it's bad.
Disclaimer: Tmnt is not mine, and neither is Avengers: Age of Ultron, or Thor or Captain America. You'll understand later.
Raph and Leo returned back to the lair. Everyone else was asleep.
"I'm gonna get a drink, you want anythin'?" Raph said.
"No thanks, I'm just gonna make sure everything is ok before I go to sleep." Leo said as he smiled. He walked into Donnie's lab to find that his genius baby brother had fallen asleep on his computer, again. Leo sighed and walked back out to the living room to grab a blanket and a pillow. He then returned to the lab and tossed the blanket over Donnie and then gently lifted his head to place the pillow under him. He smiled at the sight and gave a content sigh. He turned to walk out of the lair, only to find two curios green eyes watching him.
"What?" He said.
Raph just shook his head. "Why do you do stuff like that" he motioned towards Donnie, "for us, but you won't let us help you?"
Leo shrugged. "I don't know. I guess I always figured that I shouldn't need to rely on my brothers like they do for me, I'm the oldest and the leader. It's my responsibility to be there for you."
"So that means we can be there for you?" Raph questioned.
"I-" Leo fell silent. He didn't have a reply for that.
Raph walked up to him. "Leo, you're still our brother. We're here for you just like you're here for us. Remember that alright?" Raph smirked slightly.
Leo smiled. "I'll try Raph."
"Good, now go get some sleep Fearless, you look pretty beat up." Raph gave a toothy grin.
Leo gave a small laugh to that. "Yah, ok. Night Raph." He said as he walked upstairs. "Oh, and Raph?"
"Yah?"
"Thanks" Leo smiled
"Anytime, Leo." Raph smiled back.
Both boys fell asleep with smiles on their faces.
For the next couple days Raph and Leo were almost inseparable. They trained and sparred together whenever they could and when they weren't doing that they were casually bantering with each other. It was just like old times.
Meanwhile Donnie had barely come out of his lab. He felt bad for yelling at Leo like he did, but that's not why he was avoiding him. No, Donnie was working on a cure. Even if Leo didn't want it, Donnie wanted to make it just in case. He couldn't exactly test it, but he was trying to get it as close as he could.
Mikey was at a loss. Every time he was around Leo he felt like he needed to help him or watch out for him. It was a hard habit to break. Leo eventually noticed how upset Mikey was getting about this, and decided to do something.
"Hey Mikey, do you want to watch a movie with me?"
Mikey looked at Leo confused. "But I thought-"
"Just because I can see doesn't mean I can't hear, and if there's a part that's silent you can explain it to me. I know you like fanboying about movies like that." Leo smiled
Mikey smiled back. "Yah Alright dude! Sounds good!"
The boys ended up watching Avengers: Age of Ultron, one of Mikey's favorites. Mikey ended up fanboying about the whole movie and Leo had fun listening to Mikey's comments and freak-outs. By the end of the movie both boys were laughing and having fun.
"Ah man dude! Did you see Thor's face when Captain America almost picked up his hammer?!"
Leo shook his head. "I heard what you said about it, my guess is that he was pretty shocked!" He laughed.
Mikey's smile faded some. "Oh, right dude. Sorry. Man I really wished that mind thingy would've worked! Then you could've watched the movie for real!" Mikey pouted some.
Leo sighed. "It's ok Mikey, and even if it did work I wouldn't have let you do that for me."
"What? Why not?"
"Because then you couldn't watch the movie."
Mikey shook his head and laughed. "Dude, when you enter someone's mind, the person can still see while you're there. Didn't you know that?"
Now Leo looked confused. "No Mikey, I didn't know that. Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was on the notes… Oh right. Sorry." Mikey chuckled nervously.
"It's ok Mikey, it didn't work anyway." Leo sighed.
Mikey looked at his older brother. "Are you sure it didn't work? You look like you're lying."
"What do you mean I look like I'm lying?"
Mikey smiled. "Dude, you are the worst liar ever. I mean I know you used diversions and stuff while we didn't know you were blind, but when it comes to straight up lying your good boy brain kicks in. You have so many tells dude."
"Really, like what?"
"Well. For starters you're always playing with your hands, your feet always cross together, you never look the person in the eye, you sigh at the end of your sentences, you squirm around like you're uncomfortable, and –"
"Ok Mikey, I get it." Leo sighed. "Are- are you mad at me for lying?"
"Not really dude, but I would like to know why you lied."
"Well, I didn't want you giving away your eyes so to speak. At the time I didn't know you could still see when I was in your mind."
Mikey nodded. "Ok, I get it dude. Just promise me no more lies ok? I'm your bro, I can do stuff for you like you do stuff for me!" Mikey said happily.
Leo chuckled. "Ok Mikey, I promise, no more lying."
"Sweet! So you wanna watch some TV? You can use my eyes!" Mikey said in a tempting voice.
Leo chuckled. "Ok Mikey we, we can try it."
The boys tried out Mikey's idea and Leo was surprised that it actually worked. They both were able to watch Space Heroes, actually watch it! This was going great, until Donnie came out and saw them both. "Um, Leo, what are you doing?"
"I'm watching TV." He smiled
"How?" Donnie looked more than confused.
"You know that mind trick that Sensei taught us? Well, Leo used it on me and now we can both watch the TV!" Mikey said with a huge smile.
Donnie rubbed his chin in thought. "Hmm how interesting. Well, anyway Leo, can I talk with you for a minute?"
"Yah sure." He smiled and willed his mind back into his own body before getting up. He was starting to get used to seeing like a normal person.
They both walked into to Donnie's lab and Donnie handed him a small bottle. "Here."
"What is this?"
"It's an antidote, sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?"
"Well, if my calculations are correct, this dose should only have temporary effects. I have one that's permanent, if you ever decided…" Donnie faded out.
Leo smiled. "Thanks Donnie. I, I really appreciate this."
Donnie looked a bit shocked. "Really? You're not mad? I thought you would've been more upset…"
Leo shook his head. "No, I'm grateful that you took the time to make this for me, and who knows? Maybe one day, this will come in handy." He said as he slipped the bottle into his weapons belt.
Donnie smiled, then became a bit sheepish. "Leo, I'm sorry I yelled at you. Raph and I talked a little bit. I understand why you were so resistant. I'm sorry."
Leo shook his head. "It's fine, and I'm sorry to. You were just trying to help the only way you knew how. I shouldn't have been so quick to turn it down."
Donnie smiled and nodded. "Ok, do you want to go watch some TV? We can get Raph and Sensei and make it a family movie night."
"You know what Donnie that sounds like a great idea."
The boys rounded up the rest of the family and sat down to watch a movie, all with smiles on their faces.
I feel like my endings are getting worse. This chapter wasn't one of my best but I feel like it tied up all the loose ends which is something that needed to happen before the next chapter when – oops, almost let it slip. Hehe.
