Leo's P.O.V…

God he hurt. What the shell happened. He remembered talking to Raph, then it all came back. He wasn't the leader he wasn't anything and Raph beat him good. God his life was meaningless. He looked around and saw his brothers standing around talking. They did not realize he was awake. "Raph, I don't know if he will believe us. He seems to think that those turtles were us. He really thinks we are like that. How can he think we are like that?" asked Donnie in a sad voice. "He's just messed up right now. He really knows we would never be like this. We just have to convince him that this is all in his mind and he has to snap out of it. You're the genius brainiack think of something." "I don't know, I really don't know. I always thought he knew that we were best friends. How can he think I would never help him?" "Donnie you really never told him. Sure I knew but come on you never told him, we all kind of remained distant with him. You Raph more then anyone." Said Mikey. "I know alright, but I would never hurt Leo, I love him you know that, but he is just so annoying how perfect he is. Sensei loves him the best and he does everything great. I don't know I guess I am just jealous. And if you to blunderheads ever ever tell him I said this I will hurt you." "Geez Raph maybe you should tell him, he might actually see a different side of you and realize that this is a dream. Cause we all know you would never say something like that." Said Mikey with a soft laugh. "Shut it Mikey, I ain't in the mood." Said Raph. This had to be a dream Leo thought Mikey was right Raph would never say this, but then again they didn't know he was awake so maybe Raph really did care. But he was so confused he said he hated him no one wanted him around. Master Splinter even didn't want him to lead anymore, but Master Splinter never seemed disappointed in him before. He always tried to make him proud, maybe this was all in his mind. He needed to think.

The Lab….

"What are we going to do guys. I don't want Leo to die." Said Mikey. "I don't know if he can die in his mind. Do you think that is possible?" asked Donnie. "How the shell should I know you are the smart one." Said Raph. "Yeah he is but I am the sick one and I know that I am not going to die." Said Leo from the table. "LEO!!!" they cried together and ran over to his side. "How are you feeling?" "Don't scare me like that again." "How long you been awake?" All these questions were fired at him at once from all three turtles. He answered all them in order, "Crappy, I will try not to, and for a little bit." "WHAT?" all these said. "You asked me questions I gave you answers." "At least you are joking with us." Said Donnie. "Leo how can you think we would act like that, I mean ok I can understand Raph," "HEY!!" "But, me and Mikey we would never, me especially." Said Donnie. "I don't know I really don't understand what is going on. I came home and you all just started attacking me saying I shouldn't be the leader, even Master Splinter agreed." "Leo you have to know right there that this ain't real. Splinter thinks you're the golden boy. You are the best and non of us compare. It gets really annoying." Said Raph. "Raph you are not helping the situation." Said Donnie in an annoyed voice. "Look, all I am saying Leo is no matter what you are still our brother. Yes you are a pain in the shell and I hate that you are always right and I hate that you are better then me and I hate that you are favored by Splinter, but you are our brother, and we all value your guidance. Yes it gets annoying and God knows I get tired of having to answer to you, but you do it because you care and you want us to be good and not get killed, so please come back to us, I don't want you to die." Said Raph in a sincere voice. "Raph, I don't know what to say, I… OH SHELL!!!" "LEO!!! They all Exclaimed. Leo felt like he was being pulled apart what was happening. He was in so much pain. Then all of a sudden there was a flash of light…

THE LAB REALITY….

Donnie, Raph, and Mikey snapped out of Leo's mind just as quickly as they entered it. "What the shell, what happened is Leo ok?" asked Raph in a worried voice. Splinter looked up from Leonardo to look over his sons they were gone for 4 hours and his son Leonard has still not awakened. "What has happened my sons why have you returned. Did you seek Leonardo? Will he come back?" "Sensei, Said Donnie, We have no idea why we are back. We were with Leo and now we are not. It is too weird. How are his vitals? Did he do anything, move, twitch?" "He has been like this since you left. Nothing has changed. And he remains unchanged still. What happened?" As Donnie and Raph explained Mikey was looking at Leo. He didn't look right. There was something he couldn't put his finger on. "Donnie, look at Leo he don't look right." Said Mikey. "What are you talking about Mikey?" asked Donnie. "LOOK at LEO!!" yelled Mikey. "OK, geez." Said Donnie. Donnie looked at Leo. Mikey was right there was something different about him. He's paler. That's not good. Oh geez what was he supposed to do? Check his pulse his breathing. Donnie did and he noticed his breathing was labored. Not good. "Well what's wrong?" asked Raph in an aggravated voice. "There must be fluid in his lungs. His breathing is labored and his pulse is too fast. Go call April, have her see if she can get her hands on some penicillian and other supplies. NOW!! It's going to be ok Leo we will get you better." Donnie said to Leo.

Leo's Mind….

God what's happening to me? Where did my brothers go. "LEONARDO!!!!" "What who's there?" "LEONARDO!!!" Leo started running to were he thought the voice was coming from. "LEONARDO!!!" Leo ran for what seemed like hours trying to find out were the voice came from. He stopped and listened. "Who are you? What do you want from me? Show yourself!" Leo refused to move another step. He was tired of this game. If this person wanted him so badly they can come to him. He sat down closed his eyes and waited. The voice was coming closer, and closer, until…
