Wow, Has it really been 6 months since I've managed to update? I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure all of my old readers have given up on me. I keep thinking of this and working on it some, but never end up finishing it. I really need to write the whole story before I post anymore chapter story's. I will finish this someday tho, that I promise you. In fact I am not letting myself post any one shots until I've gotten at least one chapter posted for this one, for every one shot I post.

Chapter 14: Adjusting

Leo woke early, as usual, though finding a dog on his feet was new. Taking a deep breath his mind quickly went over what had happened in the last few days. 'He was home' the idea still seamed to need time to sink in.

Leo frowned as he thought further on the recent events, it seamed there was going to be trouble with his ... brothers? Or at least with one of them. He took a deep breath, and got up, the only way to deal with what was to come was to meet it head on.

Walking out of his room he glanced into the open door of the next room. Master Splinter sat there, his hand just touching Mikey's. Mikey himself, looked to be in a troubled sleep.

"Good Morning, Leonardo." Master Splinter called, turning to look at him.

'Leonardo' he had to admit it was odd to finally have a real name, the sound seamed so familiar, and yet... alien.

"Good Morning... " 'Father.. Master.. Splinter... Sensei...' He frowned choosing not to say any name. Master Splinter seamed to understand but simply gave him a small smile and a nod before turning back to Mikey.

Leo left the door way, it seamed wrong to stand and watch. He didn't go far before the sound of someone throwing up made him turn and glance in the bathroom. Raph was hunched over the toilet.

"What the shell are you lookin at?" Raph said as soon as he noticed Leo was looking at him. " Get outa here." He sneered, grabbing the nearest object and throwing it at Leo.

Leo dodged it quickly, the item shattering on the wall beside him. Leo took this chance to hurry past Raph and down into the main room. There, April was pacing her baby on her shoulder, and Don, sat on the couch reading the tablet Leo had given him. He looked sleep deprived, a cup of hot liquid in his hand and didn't seam to even notice that Leo had entered the room.

"Morning Leo" April called as she walked past him.

"Good Morning.. April." He said pleasantly, April smiled at him and turned back to her baby.

Continuing to the kitchen Leo searched for a cup in the cabinets, finding one He placed it into a machine next to the cabinets.

"Tea, Hot" He told it, expecting his cup to fill, When nothing happened, he tried a different language... then a few more. Finally he ventured to push buttons on the machine, Leo stepped back as it made a crashing noise... followed by ice spewing out onto the floor.

'Its going to be a long day' Leo thought as he bent down to clean up his mess, throwing the ice into the sink. Once he'd finished he glanced to his cup and the 'food replicator', (that only seamed to make ice). 'Well its not tea but it will do' Leo thought to himself as his mind made his plan. Taking his cup back over to the ice maker, this time getting ice in the cup, before filling it with water from the sink. As he turned around he noticed that April, was staring at him, as well as Master Splinter from the top of the stairs. Both wore a bewildered look, one that made Leo feel like he was a idiot for not knowing what he was suppose to do.

Leo sat at the table staring at it for a moment, 'definitely going to be a long day' he thought taking a deep breath 'well, at least they can't say I didn't learn from my mistake', he finished the thought as he took a drink of his ice water.

Leo jumped as a whistle went off, standing quickly, as if they were under attack.

Master Splinter patted him on the shoulder as he walked by, grabbing a steaming kettle from the stove. The sound stopped as Splinter poured out the Kettle into a pair of cups.

Leo sat back down, disappointed with himself. He was jumping at everything, and confused about everything. He sighed as he realized he was going to have to relearn everything from scratch... again.

Master Splinter came back by him, holding out a cup of hot tea.

"Thank you." Leo spoke softly, looking up to Master Splinter, and accepting the cup. Leo relaxed as he took a drink. He had to admit, however they made tea here, was a lot better than anywhere else he'd been.

Master Splinter simply nodded in acknowledgement, something on his face saying it wasn't odd at all that Leo wanted tea first thing in the morning. Splinter didn't stay downstairs long, heading back up to Mikey's room almost as soon as he'd arrived. April left the room as well.

Leo stared at Don while drinking his tea, though Don seamed oblivious to it.

He had to admit this wasn't quite what he had expected. 'It will just take time' He told himself as a wet nose pushed its way onto his lap. Leo chuckled slightly. 'At least someone is happy to see me', he thought as he patted the dogs head. That's when the dog walked over to the front door and scratched at it, whimpering.

Guessing what she wanted, Leo let Keiko outside. He stood in the door way for a minute glancing back at Don, before deciding some morning training would do him some good, and headed outside.

Leo ran several kata's in the grass before trying a new kick. He knew the instant he started it that that move was going to end badly, and he barely managed to keep himself from landing face first into the dirt.

"And you really think your our brother?" A rough voice came from the house.

Leo looked to see Raph standing on the porch, glaring at him.

"You know I'm getting pretty sick of your attitude... the least you could do is appreciate the fact that I saved you, and your family"

Leo didn't miss the anger in Raph's eyes flared at the tone he used with him.

Leo caught Raph's movement just in time as he came barreling off the porch after him. They shared several strikes, anger fueling both.

That's when he noticed Raph's eyes, amber eyes filled with fiery rage. He'd seen them before... Leo took a kick in the chest and fell backward, but his mind was no longer in the moment.

Memories flashed before him... he was in a training room? No.. on a building... He wasn't sure, all he was certain of were those angry eyes, and one fact he couldn't shake.

"You... Tried to kill me." Leo spoke looking up at the turtle standing in front of him.

In good news, My writers block on this seams to of eased, I've got the next chapter ready for editing, so It should be up by Monday, and the chapter after that is coming together in my mind, I'll start jotting down part of it tonight and see how far it goes!
