One shot based on the episode Of Rats and Men
What if Splinter really hurt Leo when he had the sword aiming to kill? What if Leo didn't make it? What if he did make it?
Leo's pov
Oh no.
He's really going to kill me.
Splinter is going to kill me.
"Kill him" Rat King hissed
"Splinter no!" Raph yells wanting to jump in but knowing it's going to risk my life
I watch as Splinter closed his eyes and his hand started to shake.
"Sensei please" I whisper
"Kill him"
"Don't"
"Kill Him!"
"Sensei no!"
"KILL HIM!"
"NOO!"
Swish!
Drip.
Darkness.
…

Raph's pov
No.
Oh god his throat
I can see it from here
...
..
.
"AHHH!" I yell running and tackling the Rat King.
"Get off of me!"
I just kept punching and hitting not stopping even as he bled. I grabbed his throat and tried to strangle him.
"No Raph stop!" I hear Donnie yell
But I couldn't...Because the Rat King made Splinter slit Leo's throat.
Donnie's pov
Oh my god.
Did that really just...
Leo.
"AHHH!" Raph yells running and tackling the Rat king
Mikey ran to splinter and knocked him over. I look at Raph and watch as he strangled the Rat King
"No Raph stop!" I yelled as Mikey ran over to Raph
I ran to Leo's side and screamed at what I saw.
Oh god.
Splinter...he
Oh lord he slit Leo's neck
Mikey's pov
Leo.
My hero.
Splinter just...
No the Rat King did this
Not Splinter.
"AHHH!" Raph yells charging at the Rat King.
I watch as Donnie ran to Leo but I ran ahead and knocked Splinter over, only to knock him out. I looked at Leo and my heart stopped beating.
Oh my god
His throat
Blood
So much.
I'm feeling faint
"No Raph stop!" Donnie yells snapping out if my thoughts
I ran to Raph but he tried to fight back "No let me go!" Raph yells
"Raph stop!" I yell trying to pull Raph's hands off the Rat King's throat.
"No he killed Leo!"
"No he didn't Donnie's treating him if we get home in time we can save him! And we're the good guys, we don't kill Raph! What would Leo say?" I say as Raph stopped
Raph dropped the Rat King's head making him go unconscious as he hit the floor with the sickening crack. Raph gets up and runs towards Leo's side.
"Donnie what do we do?" Raph asked
"Give me your pads now! We got to stop the bleeding!" Donnie yells
Raph and I nod, taking off our gear and giving it to Donnie. Suddenly a line of blood falls out of Leo's mouth.
"DONNIE!" I yell as the line got bigger and darker.
"OH GOD LEO!"
Splinter's pov
Darkness.
What has happened?
"No Raph stop!"
Donatello?
"We're the good guys we don't kill Raph!"
Michelangelo?
"He killed Leo!"
Raphael?
Wait.
What happen to Leonardo?!
I need to return to my sons.
I open my eyes and look around.
"Give me your pads now! We got to stop the bleeding!" I hear Donatello yell
What is he talking about?
Is Leonardo bleeding?
"DONNIE!"
"OH GOD LEO!"
I turn my head and look at my sons only to gasp in horror. Raphael and Michelangelo looked up to see me and their eyes widened.
"What happened to Leonardo!" I yell sitting up and running towards my sons only to have Raphael stand in my way.
"Get away from him!" Raphael yells looking at me fire showing in his eyes.
"My son what are you talking about?" I ask confused.
"You! You did this to him! You're the one who slit his throat!"
What?!
No one's pov
Raph watched as Splinter's eyes widen.
"What are you talking about?"
"You were under the Rat King's control...and you did this" Mikey says pointing to Leo.
Raph watched as splinter sinks to the ground looking at Leo.
"Ok I tied the pads so they stay in place. We need to go, he's got internal bleeding." Donnie says trying to calm.
Raph nods and picks up Leo's limp body running to the lair
"Raph be careful with his wounds!" Donnie yells
Raph nods and runs a bit faster needing to get his pale brother home God he was so angry.
Angry at Rat King for forcing Splinter to hurt Leo.
Angry at Splinter for not fighting the control.
Angry at himself for not being able to do anything.
"Bring him to the lab!" Donnie yells to Raph who didn't even realize he was in the main entrance. Once Leo was settled Donnie and Raph worked on helping Leo.
"Raph as soon as I move the pads press the towel on the wound" Donnie says handing Raph a towel.
"Ready?"
Raph nods
"1"
Raph holds the towel tighter
"2"
Raph leans closer
"3!"
The pads are moved and Raph presses the towel on the wound which makes Leo groan in pain.
"Don we forgot to sedate him" Raph hissed.
"Hold the towel" Donnie says grabbing a sedative putting it Leo's arm. After 15 minutes the blood slows enough for Donnie to start stitching it. Raph went to wash the blood off of Leo and then took a shower himself. After Donnie was done he wrapped a bandage tight but comfortable on Leo's neck. He was about to call Raph when he walked in.
"Can you donate blood for Leo?"
Raph looks at the needle gulping nervously but nods and holds out his arm
*Some Time Later*
Splinter sat in his room worried about his sons especially Leo. Leo was already awake and is informed about what happened.
Would he forgive me?
Would he never love me again?
What about his brothers?
"Master Splinter?"
Splinter looks up to see Donnie.
"Yes?"
"I think you should talk to Leo"
"...I think I should too" Splinter says standing up.
"Make sure he doesn't move his neck much" Donnie says sitting on the couch with a nervous Mikey and a protective Raph. Splinter stood at the door and does a double take.
I don't think I can do this Splinter thinks
"Go"
Master Splinter turns around to see a protective yet understanding Raph.
"He needs ya"
Splinter nods and takes a deep breath entering the lab. He stops moving and looks at his pale son.
"...Oh Leonardo, I'm so sorry my son"
"...i don't blame you Master" Leo whispers softly
"How could you not?"
"Because it was the Rat King not you" Leo answers eyes watching as splinter moves closer to the edge of the bed.
"I'm still sorry my son. You could have...died by my own hands"
"There is nothing to be sorry for" Leo says smiling as Splinter drags him into a hug being mindful of his injury.
"You have a great spirit Leonardo I'm very lucky to have a son like you... All of you" Splinter says turning to the door where the other brothers come in looking sheepish.
The 3 younger brothers run in and join the hug.
"We don't blame you Master Splinter, we love you" all the 4 brothers say at the same time making Splinter smile and hug his sons closer.
"I love you to my sons"
OMG I don't know why this little puppy came into mind. Please R&R and request for more one-shots
