The Lab Reality 2 hours later….

Leo shot up off the table and gasped. "LEO!!!" cried Raph. Leo was finding it hard to breath hard to understand. What was going on, why was he hurting all over? Were was that voice? Why was Donnie standing over him. "What?" he whispered. "Leo, can you understand me?" asked Donnie in a concerned voice. "I don't understand, voice…pain…I…" It hurt to much to talk, Leo just didn't understand why he was in the lab. "It's Ok, Leo the pain will stop soon. I have you on some heavy pain killers and your finding it hard to breath because there is water in your lungs, but slowly the water is getting out." Said Donnie. "I… don't… understand… where … voice?" "Leo, there is no voice only us." Said Raph concerned. "Donnie, what the shell is going on?" "I don't know Raph, he is on a lot of medication. You should go wake up Master Splinter and Michaelangelo to let them know he's awake." "OK, be right back Leo, don't go away." Said Raph jokingly. Leo was looking at Donnie with a confused hurt expression. Why was he helping him now, when before he wouldn't touch him. Why was Raph being nice and where was that voice.

"It's ok Leo, you will understand soon. You were out for a couple of days, but it will all be better soon." "Why… are you… helping… me?" "Leo, that was not me in your mind. I would always help you. You're my brother and I love you. You have to believe that I would never turn my back on you. Leo you can't possible think that I would intentionally keep you hurting." "It was a dream? I am still the leader?" Leo asked with hope in his eyes. "Leo, we would never want you NOT to be the leader. Trust me bro, I could not handle Raph being the leader. He doesn't think things through he is unorganized, besides Leo you're my best friend. I need you." "WHAT!!!" "Yeah, the guys thought you would act like that. I thought you knew. I only really talk to you. Sure I love Raph and Mikey, but I could always talk to you." "But, you never said anything Donnie, I thought you and Mikey…" "Nah, I love the block head, but I can't talk to him, and forget Raph, he wouldn't understand." "I never knew, I just thought that you put up with me. Really Donnie?" asked Leo like a little kid with hope in his eyes. "Leo, you really are the only one that understands me." Leo had tears in his eyes. "You don't hate me?" he whispered. "I could never hate you bro." Said Donnie as he bent down and hugged Leo. Leo couldn't help it, he started crying. He really thought that Donnie wanted nothing to do with him. "Um guys, can we come in?" asked Mikey timidly. Donnie pulled back slowly and looked at Leo with a smile. "I don't know guys, what do you think Leo?" "I really don't care." Leo said quietly. "My son, said Splinter, How are you feeling?" "I am tired Sensei, and I am in pain." Said Leo quietly not meeting Splinter's eyes. "I believe there is something else troubling you my son. What is wrong?" "Nothing, sensei. I would just like to rest if that is alright with you." "Leonardo, I… that is fine my son. We will talk when you are feeling better." "I'll be back to check on you later, Leo." "Donnie…" said Leo "It will be fine Leo. I promise."

Mikey's P.O.V…

Mikey was looking at Leo with a sad expression on his face. Raph was looking everywhere but at Leo. "Um, how you feeling bro?" asked Mikey nervously.
