The Kitchen of the Lair...

It seemed like a typical morning. Mikey was making breakfast, Donnie was reading the newspaper, Raph was staring off into space waiting for his eggs, and Master Splinter was drinking his tea. The only thing missing was Leo. The guys knew Leo was up. But they were wondering why he was not out there with them.

"Maybe we should check on him." Said Mikey from the stove.

"Nah, he's just trying to think of what he is going to say, about last night." Said Raph.

"What exactly went on when we went to bed?" asked Donnie, putting down his paper to look at Raph.

"He'll tell you. I want to see your reactions to it." Said Raph. Just then Leo walked in and everyone looked at him.

"How did you sleep my son?" asked Splinter.

"Not well Sensei. Mikey can I have some coffee?" asked Leo.

"Coming up." Said Mikey.

"So, what did you guys talk about?" asked Don.

"I'm surprised Raph didn't tell you guys." Said Leo tiredly.

"I figured you should tell them, and get their reaction." Said Raph looking at Leo. Mikey handed Leo his coffee, and Leo smiled his thanks. He took the first sip and felt a little steadier and better.

"I told Raph that I believe I know who it was that attacked me." Said Leo.

"Yeah, we figured that bro, but who was it?" asked Donnie.

"I believe it was the Shredder." Said Leo. Leo looked around the faces of his family. Donnie had a stunned look on his face, Raph's said nothing, Mikey had his mouth opened shocked, and Splinter had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Why do you believe it was Shredder, my son?" asked Splinter.

"Sensei, I keep on relieving that night. And, each time it becomes more and more real and more and more frightening. Last night, it was the most clear it has been. The eyes, the laughing, and the claw. I know it was him there was such anger, and enjoyment in seeing me suffer. I don't know how he did it, but it was him, and if we don't stop him, anyone of us could be next and he knows I survived." Said Leo.

"But, Leo you killed him." Said Mikey.

"Don't you think I know that." Snapped Leo as he jumped up from the table to pace. "I killed him, but he came back. I don't know how he did but he did. And I don't want to see anyone of you face what I went through. I don't want my family dead, because I couldn't stop him." Leo couldn't stay there; he had to get some air. He left the kitchen and went out the lair door. Raphael got up to go after him.

"No, Raphael sit. Leonardo has to come to terms with this in his own way. Let him go. I must go to my room to meditate. My sons you go to the dojo after breakfast and train. Leonardo will be back, if what Leonardo says is true, and I believe it is, then we have an even deadly foe to deal with." Splinter got up from his chair and walked to his room.

"God Raph, what are we gonna do? If this was Shredder, then he can attack us and we would never know until it was too late. How are we going to find him?" asked Donnie.

"First, we are going to eat breakfast, then train. When Leo gets back he will have a plan, then we will do what we always do. We will kick Shell." Said Raph. Mikey handed out the eggs and laid a plate out for Leo.

In the sewers...

"God, what are we going to do? He can come at us anytime. We don't know were he is. We could all die." Leo thought to himself.

"LEONARDO!!!"

"WHAT? Who's there? Show yourself." Said Leo

"LEONARDO!! Do you think that I would just leave you be? I am coming for you and when I am done with you, your retched family is next."

"Show yourself Shredder. Let me fight you like before. Enough of these mind games." Said Leo.

"I believe I am enjoying this too much. You will die turtle. I will kill you, and nothing will bring you back it is just a matter of when and where. Be prepared to die." Said Shredder.

"SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!!! FIGHT ME!!!" screamed Leo. But there was no answer. Leo sank down to his knees. How could he fight something that was illusion, but real? He had to find Shredder in human form, he couldn't fight him mentally there was no way he was strong enough, the last encounter proved that. But how would he find Shredder? Hun! He needed to trail Hun if he did that surly Hun would lead him to the Shredder. He needed his brothers. He ran as fast as his tired legs would carry him. What he really needed was to get 100 better. If he couldn't even run back to the lair how was he supposed to face his enemy? He couldn't think of that now, what mattered was finding the Shredder, he would think of the rest later.
