Summary: A short one-shot where I attempt to write out Leonardo's darker emotions. I had a heck of a time trying to find Leo's darker emotions… He's just too well adjusted. But after several hours of thinking, it finally hit me!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Mirage does.
You are our Father. Our Sensei. From the earliest age possible you have trained us in ninjitsu. You trained us to be fighters.
Every night we go out into the city to fight your enemies. We restore the honor that was taken from your master Hamato Yoshi. We take the revenge that you are unable to take.
Revenge. That is the real reason that we fight.
You tell us that we fight for honor. You tell us that we fight for peace.
I used to believe these lies once. I used to think of myself as a kind of super-hero, fighting only to save other people. Perhaps you have even convinced yourself that this is so.
But it isn't!
Why else would you train four CHILDREN to fight your battles for you? We are only 16 years old, can't you see that? Most people our age are still worrying about school and homework. We are worrying about fighting, and death.
There is only one reason why I keep fighting your battles, and that is that by fighting these battles we are doing some good, even if it is only by accident.
Yes, I will fight your battles, Sensei, but there is one catch. If your vendetta takes the life of any of my brothers there will be no place on Earth that can hide you from my wrath.
