Guest suggested 5 different oneshots but I decided to do the one where Splinter has a nightmare first. I haven't written any Splinter oneshots in a while so… yeah… I might be a bit rusty. Also I change the dream turtles from babies to toddlers, I hope that's ok?

Night Time Scare

He needed to hurry.

Needed to get back to safety, back to the lair.

Danger, his senses were screaming at him to go faster.

He should never have left his babies home alone but they were toddlers now and Leonardo had the makings of a great leader and guardian.

That might now help him if Shredder finds them.

No.

Oroku Saki is in Japan, he doesn't know he survived the fire.

Hurry! Hurry!

He was getting closer.

He skidded to a halt and froze, he sniffed the air as his stomach went cold.

Blood, sweat.

Something's wrong.

He crouched down a little and walked through the turnstiles silently, he felt the bile rise up in his throat.

There was blood in and surrounding the play pit in the centre of the common room.

He slowly walked closer, afraid of what he might find.

Afraid of what he knew had happened.

He reached the pit and heaved a sigh of relief.

No bodies.

He looked around worriedly yet did not call out, if the invader was still here he would draw it's attention.

He looked over at the steel door which was slightly open, this was just an empty room with no purpose at the moment.

He slowly walked up to it and opened it carefully.

It creaked as light seeped into the room.

Splinter's heart squeezed when you saw his four young sons cowering in the back.

They were covered in blood and were very pale.

Leonardo lifted his head before leaping up and brandishing a wooden sword.

''GO AWAY!'' He yelled. ''LEAVE MY BROTHERS ALONE!''

''Calm down my son'' Splinter soothed, Leonardo visibly calmed before falling back against his crying brothers. ''What happened?''

''I failed you father… I couldn't protect them'' Leo whimpered. ''The guy with the knives won…''

''You did not fail me my son, you are all safe and alive. That is all that matters'' Splinter soothed, Leonardo looked confused.

''But f-father… we're dead'' Leo frowned.

''What?'' Splinter blinked.

His four little boys were on the floor with blood pooling around them.

''No… NO!'' He yelped as he leapt back.

''Yes'' He spun around to see Shredder standing behind him.

''I took Miwa away and now your sons.'' He cackled. ''You can never protect them from me!''

''NO!'' Splinter yelled as he sat up, that had been a horrible dream!

He panted for a moment before looking at the clock. 2 AM.

''MIKEY!'' Came Raphael's voice from the common room.

Splinter leapt out of bed and rushed to his sons only to find three of them there.

Leonardo scolding Raphael. Michelangelo was lying on the floor with his eyes closed.

''Michelangelo!'' Splinter gasped as he rushed towards his youngest son, he didn't wake up. There was a slight bruise on his head. ''What happened?''

''Raphael tripped Mikey over'' Leo replied as he sent a dirty look at Raph, ''Mike hit his head on the way down''

''Ow'' Mikey groaned as he opened his eyes. ''Dude''

''Are you ok my son?''

Mikey nodded as his father helped him up.

''Sorry Mikey'' Raph smirked. ''Good job ya got such a hard head huh?''

Mike rolled his eyes.

''My sons'' Splinter regained their attention and hugged each of them sparking confusion. He frowned. ''Where is Donatello?''

''He's in his lab Master'' Leo frowned. ''He's been in there all night.''

Splinter felt uneasy.

Would he really be lucky enough for it all to have been a dream or would he find his son dead on the floor.

''Are you sure he's ok?'' He asked worriedly, his boys looked at him then each other.

''Has something happened Sensei?'' Mikey asked as he shuffled closer to Raph.

Their Father told them of his dream and while they all figured it was JUST a dream, they did feel a little worried.

Their father had dreams sometimes that predicted something that was going to happen.

They hoped this was not one of them.

It was highly unlikely seeing as they weren't toddlers anymore.

The four mutants headed over to the lab and knocked on the door, there was no reply.

They now felt even more nervous.

Splinter slid open the door quickly and they all entered the lab to find that Donnie wasn't there.

''D?'' Mikey called worriedly.

''Yeah?'' They looked round to see Donnie coming in through the garage door. ''Hey, what's wrong?''

Mikey hugged Donnie before anyone else could.

''Where were you my son?'' Splinter asked curiously.

''I was just cleaning up the inside of the Shellraiser'' Donnie replied worriedly. ''Why? Has something happened?''

''Father had a nightmare'' Leo replied with a chuckle before explaining it all. Donatello nodded his understanding at the end.

''bad time for me to disappear then huh?'' He chuckled.

''I am glad you are all safe'' Splinter sighed happily as they all went into the living room.

''Wait'' Donnie frowned as he looked closely at Mikey. ''What happened to your head?''

''Raph'' Mikey deadpanned.

''Seriously? This is the third time this week!'' Donnie scolded as he turned to face Raph. ''You can't just knock him out every time he annoys you Raph''

''Apparently he can'' Leo crossed his arms.

Donnie rolled his eyes before slinging an arm around Mikey.

''You guys can be such bullies'' He shook his head.

''Yeah!'' Mikey nodded before smiling at Donnie, ''Thanks D!''

Before Donnie could reply he and Mikey were knocked to the floor by Raph and Leo, who were now pinning them to the floor.

''What were you saying?'' Leo asked with a laugh, he decided to have a little fun for once after the scare his father gave him.

''Watch his head Raph'' Donne warned at Raph who was sitting on Mikey. ''I was saying GET OFF!''

''I don' think ya were Donnie-boy'' Raph smirked. ''I'm sure ya said somethin' about us bein' bullies?''

Splinter chuckled as he walked back to his room.

While his sons may annoy each other and mess about he knew they would protect each other to the end. He need not worry about Shredder sneaking up on them and killing them, his boys were a strong team when together and they would stop at nothing to keep each other safe.

He was proud to say the least and knew he would sleep peacefully with the knowledge of his sons being safe.

That's it for today so if you guys could leave me some more requests I would be super thankful!
