Leo's Room..."Oh, my son what has the Shredder done to you to make you so sad?" asked Splinter to his sleeping son. Donnie walked into the room with his supplies. "Is Michelangelo, better my son?"
"He has a bad cut to his head, but I think he will wake up soon. It looked a lot worse then what it was thank God. When Raph walked in with Mikey bleeding like that I thought the worst at first." Said Donnie as he went to Leo's side. Donnie began to rinse out the cuts with Peroxide. It was good that Leo was out it would of hurt a lot. He then stitched up the worst cut on Leo's plastron, it was deep, but it was not bleeding that badly. Donnie was surprised that Leo could even of walked with all the blood loss the infection in his body. Leo was really a strong leader. 30 minuets later Donnie was all done the penicillin was in and all the cuts were taken care of. Splinter put his herbs on Leo's bruises and now the waiting game began.
Leo's Mind...Leo was sitting in the dark with his knees to his chin. "So, this is it. I'm dead. I thought it would be a little more then this." Said Leo to himself.
"Dude it is dark in here." Said a voice
"MIKEY!!!" said Leo as he jumped up and looked around.
"Leo, that you? Where are you I can't see nothing in here." Said Mikey from a distance.
"I'll keep talking Mikey follow my voice. God, Mikey I'm glad you're here. I thought this was it and I would be alone forever. I am so sorry I should have been there." Said Leo.
"Leo what are you talking about?" said Mikey as he stood in front of him.
"When the Elite killed you. I should have been there. I was taking by the Shredder you guys were in the cell with the Elite. I should have been there with you. I could of stopped them Mikey, but I thought it was not real and I couldn't be part of the foot." Said Leo desperately wanting Mikey to believe him.
"Leo, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know where I am. Last thing I remember I was with Raph and we were fighting the foot and the Shredder. Then the Shredder grabbed me and that is it." Said Mikey as he looked around.
"I don't understand. That is not how it happened the Elite had you guys and one of them killed you." Said Leo.
"Yo, dude I think you were tricked. Me, Donnie, and Raph were never in a room with the Elite." Said Mikey looking at Leo like he was nuts.
"But, I saw you. It was you I am sure." Said Leo confused.
"Leo, it was a trick. I was with Raph not Donnie. Donnie left the building to get you to the lair. Where are Donnie and Raph?" asked Mikey.
"I don't get it. So, you didn't die?" said Leo.
"Not that I know of. And if this place is death it sucks." Said Mikey.
"No, it can't be if your not dead, then we must be in my mind, or possible yours." Said Leo.
"Why would I be in your mind dude? I think I would stay in my mind." Said Mikey.
"You must be unconscious or something. And I needed someone, so you must have been drawn here." Said Leo.
"Leo, I want to get out of here. I don't like it." Said Mikey.
"Mikey, before we go back, I need to know if you will forgive me?" asked Leo.
"What for?" asked Mikey.
"For not saving you. For letting you die. For everything." Said Leo.
"Leo, I didn't die. I am not dead. So there is nothing to forgive." Said Mikey.
"But, if it was real. I didn't do anything. I failed you, our family, our Sensei. I should have done what the Shredder wanted. I should of joined him then you would not have died." Said Leo.
"Leo, I wouldn't want you to do that. Look bro, I know I'm not the smart one like Donnie or the tough fighter like Raph, or a great leader like you, but I do know something and that is you have to be true to yourself. And I know you Leo, honor is important to you. You did what was right for you, besides it didn't happen so we're cool." Said Mikey.
Leo was shocked, Mikey the joker, Mikey the prankster, actually took some of Master Splinter's teachings to heart.
"Thanks, Mikey. How about we go home now?" asked Leo
"Yeah, dude, I am starving." Said Mikey.
"Nice to meat you starving, I'm Leo." Said Leo as he held his hand out.
"Cute, Leo really cute." Said Mikey as he grabbed Leo's hand and gave him a huge hug. "Now, lets get out of here and eat."
The Lab..."What a rush." Said Mikey from the table.
"MIKEY!!!" said Raph as he rushed to his side. "Your awake your ok. It's about time bonehead. You had me worried it's been 2 days." Said Raph angrily.
"Raph, what are talking about? Where's Leo? He was just here." Said Mikey.
"Mikey Leo's been in his room the whole time. He, ah.. ain't doing so good." Said Raph as he looked away from Mikey.
"What are you talking about dude." Said Mikey as he began to sit up.
"Hey, don't move. Let me get Donnie, he might not want you to move." Said Raph as he rushed out the door to Donnie's room. He burst through the door, waking up Donnie.
"Raph, what the shell are you doing?" said Donnie.
"Don, he's awake." Said Raph.
"Leo's awake?" asked Donnie as he got up.
"No, Mikey, I think you should check him over see if he's ok. He thought Leo was in the room with him." Said Raph as they both made their way to the lab. There sitting up on the table was Mikey looking a little pale, but up and around.
"Donnie, what the shell is going on. Where's Leo. Raph said he's in his room, but he was with me not too long ago." Said Mikey.
"Easy there Mikey, lay back down. Let me check you over and make sure your ok. How many fingers you see?"
"Three, and I am fine. I just want to talk to Leo about were we where. Come on Donnie let me up and let me go to Leo's room. Raph said he was in his room this whole time. I don't think he would mind if I went to see him." Said Mikey as he jumped off the table, he swayed slightly and Donnie held him. "I'm fine, just got up a little too fast. Now I have to see Leo. I want to know what the shell that was." Mikey went out the lab door and ran to Leo's room. Donnie and Raph stayed in the lab.
"Do you think Mikey should see Leo, Donnie?" asked Raph.
"I think it might help Leo to hear a more happy voice. You know how Mikey can cheer up anybody, well maybe he can do the same for Leo." Said Donnie as he Raph walked out the lab to their own rooms for some much needed sleep.
Ok this is the second to last chapter. I thought it would be good to know that Mikey was up and around and that Leo was still out. More suspense. I will write more...
