Leo's Mind...
The guys found themselves back in the lair. They each took off in different directions to find Leo. Finally Mike shouted "FOUND HIM, DOJO." Donnie and Raph ran to the dojo, to find Mikey sitting next to a very drawn looking Leo.
"Come on Leo, you got to believe me, we are the real brothers not the ones that didn't want you around." Said Mikey.
"Listen, I don't know what to believe and all I want to be is left alone. Please just leave me alone. Why can I not get away from you?" Leo said.
"Because we are going to bug you until you get off your ass and realize we are real and that we want you around and that we would never want you dead." Said Raph
"I don't know how to believe you Raph, it is all confusing and I just want to close my eyes for awhile and go to sleep. Can I do that? Can I just think without you guys bothering me?" pleaded Leo.
"Leo, please listen to us. We just want you to come back with us. You kicked Master Splinter out of your mind the first time. Then we got kicked out, then Master Splinter came back and you kicked him out again. Now we are back, and trust me I am as confused as you, but this is real we are real and we don't want to lose you." Said Donnie
"Donnie, you are not losing me. I am right here. You are right here and no matter where I go you keep showing up. Look, I know I failed, I let myself be seen and captured. I was sloppy. But I didn't think that you guys thought I did that bad of a job." Said Leo
"Look, I am tired of trying to spare your feelings. Yes what you did was stupid, but it was right. You saved the girl. That was great, but you got shot, that was stupid, you got caught, even stupider. But, that doesn't change the fact that you are a good leader, that you defeated the Shredder, and that you make us faster, stronger, and better then we could ever be. Now snap out of this self loathing SHIT and start being the leader you are supposed to be." Said Raph annoyed.
"How did you know I saved the girl?" asked Leo.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Out of all the things I said you picked up on that. Leo listen and listen good. I was listening in when you were talking to Donnie in the lab back in the real world not your mind. Why can you not see what is in your face. We are real us not the others that hate you or want you gone. Sure you are a pain in the shell always perfect, always making us work harder, but you are still our brother. NOW snap out of this and lets get the shell back to the real world; wrestling is coming on." Said Raph.
"I don't know." Said Leo still confused.
Just then 3 turtles came walking into the dojo.
"Well, this is a shock." Said (mind Raph).
"I thought I was dreaming about me getting the shell kicked out of me. But it was me that did it." Said (mind Mikey).
Leo was looking at the 3 turtles in amazement.
"Donnie, how the shell is this possible?" said Raph
"I believe that Leo's Mind is trying to find out what is real and finally we might be getting to him." Said Donnie.
"GOOD, so that means I can beat the living shell out of this me." Said Raph.
"I think that sounds really good. This might be what Leo needs." Said Donnie.
The real turtles took out there weapons and faced their doubles. Leo stood up and backed away. "What the shell is happening" thought Leo.
