That night, Leo was more than ready to go get his brothers freed from the Foot's custody. April and Splinter went with him. April drove.
Leo had his swords on him, but of course, he couldn't wear his belt anymore.
LH stayed back at the lair to watch the twins. The lair was the safest place for the twins to be.
Splinter and April hid behind a warehouse on foot while Leo stepped out into the open, ready for anything. His turtle senses were tingling. He sensed that the Foot was here somewhere, watching him from the shadows.
"Alright, I'm here! Come out and show yourselves! Release my brothers!" Leo ordered.
The Foot clan flowed from the darkness like a malignant wave.
Leo didn't like the looks of this one bit. He hadn't been in training for some time because of his pregnancy and he knew that fighting wouldn't be good for the baby. But right now, if it came to it, he wouldn't have a choice. He would make sure to protect his belly at all costs.
"Foolish turtle. You fell right into the trap!" A ninja in front of him said.
"Where are my brothers?" Leo demanded.
"Back at the base. Now you too can come quietly, or you will be forced. You don't want something to happen to the baby."
Leo hated the sneer in the ninja's voice. "Just give me my family back!"
"Agent Bishop wants you, so too does Mistress Karai. We are going to give you to them, one way or the other. And you'll see your pathetic family when you're there, eventually."
"Fine. Take me to them." Leo said in a low voice. Fighting was just not a good option right now, otherwise he might have chosen to fight right there and now.
"One condition, drop your weapons."
"Give us the whole harness." Another ordered. "Then we will take you to your brothers."
Leo hated the idea of giving up his katanas, but if he was going to get his brothers back, he was going to have to do as they asked. Leo reluctantly took off his harness and laid it on the ground.
A few ninjas immediately rushed up behind him and grabbed his arms. Leo grunted in pain as his arms were forced behind him and tied up.
"Now we'll take you to the base." One growled.
Leo was now forced to follow them.
"Wait, what about his sedation? We did it with the others." One whispered to the leader.
"Agent Bishop isn't sure if the drugs would harm the baby. He wants him in perfect condition." The leader said.
Splinter and April watched from the distance. They didn't like how Leo was being treated. But if he was going to get the others back, as Splinter had heard, his son had to do this.
"I'm sure he'll be fine, Master Splinter. They want him to be in good shape, as you heard." April said.
"Yes, but I can't help but to be more than concerned for him in his condition." Splinter said.
"We have the trackers on them. We will find them and get them back." April said, placing a hand on the father rat's shoulder.
"Yes. We will follow them."
They called LH. "They have him in their custody, Leatherhead. It was a trap to get Leonardo. But we are going to get him and his brothers out of their custody."
"Yes, you will, Master Splinter." LH said on the other line.
"We can't let Leonardo stay in their evil grip for very long. The life of his child is at risk most of all." Splinter said.
"We will get them out as soon as we can." April said.
…..
Leo had been forced into the back of transport truck, but the ninjas were unusually gentle with him. It was the order that he be handled 'with care.' The ninjas could see the size of his belly. There were some of them who would have loved to kick him right there in that spot to pay him back for all the things he had done to them over time. But it was Bishop's orders to not have him harmed in any way.
Leo knew this was going to be a long drive.
…
Don was currently tied down to a table, being studied right now. More exams had been done on him. He was breathing very hard right now. He felt more than embarrassed than anything as his lower body parts had been examined inside and out.
Nothing had given the humans any answers as to why he had gotten pregnant before, and Donny wasn't talking about it. The scar on his belly had even been examined.
After having looked at the scar, Bishop was just about ready to go inside Don's belly to do exploratory surgery when an announcement came on.
"The final turtle has arrived."
Bishop put down his tools. "It's your lucky day, Donatello. Now I will find some real evidence of how you possibly got pregnant by looking at your pregnant brother."
"Don't you DARE touch him!" Don threatened. "I destroyed your last base, I will do it to this one too!"
"You're in no position to be making threats, Donatello." Bishop said, brushing off what the turtle had said.
Don knew he would be making that threat a promise.
….
Bishop had also had Raph and Mikey examined as well to see if pregnancy was possible for them too. He was trying to see if he could end up with an army of more super soldiers. And neither turtle was happy about it.
Just like Don, the lower parts had been examined. No evidence came from them either. Of course, they hadn't been pregnant. Bishop had just seen regular male mutant turtles. Now he was going to get his answers from Leonardo and his child.
Thanks to Darkunderworld for editing. Next chapter will be kind of tense. Or the next couple of them. Reviews please.
