Prologue:
"Look. Over there. Did you see him?!"
"What are you talking about Mikey? Saw who?"
"Leo! I saw him on that rooftop, right over there!"
"Grrr, that's enough Mikey, there's no time for your stupid games."
"I'm not dude! I'm telling you guys he was out there."
"Calm down, both of you. Mikey, you're seeing things. We haven't seen him for months. I think you're just seeing what you—"
RING RING RING
"If that's Casey, I swear I'm gonna pummel that knucklehead, we don't have time for…"
"You okay Raph, what's wrong?"
"I…It's Leo."
"WHAT?!"
"LEO WHERE ARE YOU! WHERE THE SHELL HAVE YOU BEEN!"
"Meet me at the Byerly building. I'll tell you there. I have to go." BEEP
"What! Leo?! Dammit!"
"What did he say, dude?!"
"Is he alright?!"
"Quiet! He's fine but told us to the Byerly building. Said he'll explain everything"
"Well, what are we waiting for!? Come on D, let's go!"
"Wait Mikey, think for once! Why would Leo all of sudden show up after all these months? It could be a trap for all we know!"
"Then how are going to find out if we don't go then, Raph"
"How about this, we'll go to the lair first to inform Master Splinter, and then we'll cautiously" head to the Byerly building. Cautiously. I'll contact April and Casey as backup if things go wrong. Got it?"
"Then let's go, dudes!"
"Raph, are you sure it could be Leo?"
"I don't know. Let's just hope so, Don. Come on"
Present:
"Leeoo"
"Leo"
"LEO!"
Leonardo snaps his eyes open to see the face of the orange-clad turtle. Along with the other two turtle brothers."Yo, you okay dude? You've been sleeping for a while now."
"What's the matter, fearless leader? Finally losing your touch," Raph teased. Knowing full well how obnoxious the nickname is to Leo. "I'm fine, Raph," Leo says as he rubs his eyes. "I just haven't been getting much sleep lately." Raph then grew concerned, along with the others, since learning how Leo would often get nightmares but, fortunately, they haven't been frequent anymore.
Leo notices their concern and reassures them it's nothing. "Well, it doesn't hurt to examine for a bit." Donnie insists. "I might have some medicine to help you sleep better." Leo still looks reluctant but nods anyway. It couldn't hurt. Leo followed my brothers out to the kitchen where we had our breakfast and did our morning training with Master Splinter. Before Leo could follow Donnie to his lab, Raph pulls him aside. "Look. You know that I am not comfortable with this mushy stuff, right?"
"Heh, you think?" Leo teased. "The point is, Leo. I know things have been weird since you suddenly got powers. And I wanted to tell you that you can trust us. With anything, you know that right Leo?" Leo's eyes went a little wide, seeing how rare it is for Raph to reassure him but he still smiles. "Of course, Raph, I know that. Thanks." Raph smiled back awkwardly. "Cool. Okay, I'll, uh, leave you to it then. Later Leo." he says as he walks back to his spot on the couch, hitting Mikey in the process because he was giving the puppy eyes at them. Leo simply laughs at his brother's theatrics and heads over to the lab.
"Alright Leo, this should be quick." Donnie had Leo sit in front of him, with a flashlight in front of his face. "Now why don't you tell what you've been feeling. Say nausea, new changes in your routine maybe? Headaches or stress? I have noticed that you've been uptight lately," he asks as he examines his eyes to find any abnormalities. "Well yeah, we haven't heard anything from the Foot for weeks now," Leo explains. "But I've…been having headaches and strange nightmares about space and other galaxies. Planets I've never seen before," he adds as Donnie puts the flashlight down
"Hmm, I don't see anything physically wrong with you, Leo. You're probably just adjusting to your new powers. After all, touching a mysterious shrine then suddenly having magical abilities can be overwhelming. It was hard for you at first. But you seem to have managed" Donnie tells him. "Because I haven't used them since I nearly blew us up," Leo states. Donnie takes notice of how Leo's demeanor changed at the mention of powers and decides not to push it. "As far as I'm concerned, your powers managed to save us, we got out of there, didn't we? And you should try to relax about the Foot clan, I've planted enough scanners around the known areas where there has been more foot activity than others," Donnie says. "What if it's not enough!?" Leo exclaims shocking Donnie with his rare outburst. He takes a deep breath before continuing. "I'm….your right, you're probably right. I should just take it easy. I'm sorry for yelling like that, Donnie," Donnie then puts a reassuring hand on his shoulder. It helped a little. "Don't sweat it, bro, I know what it's like to not know the answer to everything and—don't give me that look," he says. As Leo lifted a teasing brow. "Hehe, thanks D, come on we got patrol. Maybe we'll head over to meet Karai, see if she uncovered anything."
"Right behind you," Donnie follows Leo out of the lab to join the others. Unbeknownst to him, the Kraang orb begins receiving a signal. A message came through the orb but wasn't Kraang speaking. It's disruptive with only a few words coming in.
"Earth in view…secure….Leonardo….."
