Angel: Requested by Langel.

Summary: Leo cheers Amy up when he finds that she's sad.

Endlessly by the Cab (Leo and Amy)


Amy smirks at her brothers, her katana in hand. She would be going up against all of them by herself for training today. Splinter sits on his knees, looking between them. "Hajime!" he orders and Amy charges first. She jumps up, her katana in the air but she misses as the four move away. She hears footsteps and backflips over Donnie and Mikey. Leo runs towards her, katanas in hand. She runs up the wall and circles them, to their surprise. Raph tries to catch up with her, but she kicks him down. Raph grumbles and sits down next to Splinter.

Amy lands on the ground. Donnie and Mikey run on opposite sides of her. She looks between the two before jumping up and spinning around, hitting the two with her ponytail. "Ow!" Donnie exclaims before he and Mikey sit down. Amy smirks, knowing he was behind her. She turns to him. He smirks at her. "Don't think I'm going easy on you just because you're my girlfriend," he tells her. She pulls out her katana. "Didn't expect you to," she answers before Shredder enters her mind. She lets out a cry and drops her weapon. "Ames, are you okay?" Leo asks, running over to her. All she could see was Shredder. "Amelia," she hears and she looks at Splinter. The memory of Shredder…

She runs out of the dojo and the others call after her. She pants, running into her room. She slams the door, sliding down it, choking out a sob. She had really thought they were over. They had saved the Earth, everything was supposed to be okay. But…she had punched Shredder to a pulp. She looks down at her hands. His blood had been there. It was a stain on her honor and now she would pay the price, as Tiger Claw had told her before he left. She didn't know why she did it. In fact, nothing came to mind. Ever since that day, she had endless nightmares about Shredder finishing her brothers and father off once and for all because of what she had done. She feared for her family, but mostly herself. She caused so much things to happen to them, yet they still treat her like one of their own. She sighs and hugs her knees, placing her head on them.

A knock is at her door and she stiffens. "Ames?" she hears. She knew it was Leo. He was the only one who called her that. She gulps nervously. "Y-Yeah?" she asks. "Can I come in?" he asks softly in response. She really wasn't prepared to have this conversation, but she couldn't avoid it forever, no matter how much she wanted to. She stands up and opens the door slowly. A few tears trickle down her face, but she angrily wipes them away, hoping he didn't notice. Unfortunately, he did and he steps into her room, locking the door. "Are you okay? What happened back there?" he asks in concern. She bites her bottom lip, glancing away from him. Leo slowly steps up to her and wipes her tears away gently.

She buries her face into his plastron. "N-Nothing," she answers. Leo narrows his eyes. "That didn't look like nothing. You look like you saw something horrible," he argues. "Leo, it doesn't matter," she whispers harshly. "Yes it does! Something is making you upset, and I want you to tell me," he says. She doesn't answer and she looks away from him. "Ames…don't you trust me?" she hears and she looks back at him. He gives her a genuine look and she sighs, sitting down on her bed. "…Shredder…" she answers after a few minutes. Leo raises an eyebrow and sits down next to her. "What do you mean, Shredder?" he asks softly. She twiddles her thumbs.

"When I beat him up…I wasn't really worried about it at first. But then, I started to get nightmares…again," she whispers, closing her eyes painfully. Leo frowns. This wasn't the first time this had happened to her. There was the time he was in a coma, the time she was mind-controlled by Shredder and Jared got mutated, Shredder killing Splinter…Leo's eyes widen. Now it dawned on him. "What happened at the dojo? Was that one of them?" he asks, remembering her eyes. They were scared. She nods slowly. "As soon as I looked at Sensei…I saw Shredder. I really thought these nightmares would end, but apparently not. I guess I deserve them," she explains.

"What are you talking about?" Leo asks. She sighs. "I cause so much trouble around here. First you, then I kidnap Karai and Mark, I made Jared mutate himself, and…I caused Splinter's death. I told him I hated him. Maybe…maybe this is life telling me this is what I deserve. Or maybe it's me," she whispers, rubbing her hands. Leo looks down at them. It was if she was trying to wipe something off, but there was nothing there. Leo glares before placing his hand on hers. "Stop doing that," he tells her. "Doing what?" she asks in confusion. "Stop wiping your hands. You act like you're trying to get something off," Leo explains.

"You don't see it?" she asks. "See what? There's nothing there!" Leo answers. Amy looks down at her hands to see blood. "T-There's blood on my hands. I need to get it off," she stutters, wiping her hands. "Stop it. There's no blood on your hands. You just think that," Leo explains, grabbing her hands. "I need to wipe it off!" she shouts, trying to grab her hands. "Ames. There is nothing there. Nothing. Whose blood do you think it is?" he says, staring into her eyes. "Shredder's," she whispers. Leo growls, making her gasp.

"That's it! Amelia Elizabeth Smith, I will not let you sit here and blame yourself! You did nothing wrong! You never could. I saved you because I love you. I didn't want to suffer like I did. Shredder mind-controlled you and then used Karai and Mark as bait. You weren't in the right mind. Jared risked himself for Karai, not because you were a slave. He did it for his friends. Shredder deserved that beating, he tried to kill you! And Splinter saved you because he sees you as one of his own. Please stop worrying about it. You had nothing to do with his death. You were just mad at him for teaming up with Shredder. I understand that. He killed your mother. But Ames, you had nothing to do with it. With any of it. None of what you said is true. If anything, you're blameless. No matter what you do, we still love you. Always," Leo says, pressing his forehead to hers.

Amy blinks in shock before letting a few tears fall. "I-I know, but it hurts," she sobs, hugging him. "Shh, it's okay. Shh…shh…" he whispers, stroking her back. After a few minutes, she felt much better. "Thanks Leo," she tells him after he let her go. "Of course. Why wouldn't I help my amazingly beautiful, perfect girlfriend?" he answers, smiling. She blushes and smiles at him, pecking his lips. "Aw, Leo. You're so sweet," she says with a grin. "I know. I love you," he replies. "I love you too," she remarks, hugging him.
