Slash and Leatherhead were preparing the next round of needles which were now done and ready. "Youngest to oldest?" Slash asked, LH only nodded as they walked over to a sleeping Mikey. Slash held his arm while the needle was poked in, Mikey stirred but never awoke. Leo Heard him stir and started to get worried he watched in horror as the same needle was put into Don and Raph. "Alright Leonardo, just relax" Leatherhead stated. Casey had his hand under Leo's other one for comfort and when Slash tried to grab Leo's arm he stiffened and pulled his arm close to himself. "Hey Leo it's ok dude, they are gonna help you" Casey encouraged Leo was still terrified and refused." Mr Jones may we speak with you" Yeah course" Casey replied as Leatherhead brought him to one side.

"Do you know why he is so scared?" LH asked Casey, but he just shook his head. "Well we need to get the needle into his body somehow" He replied. "You won't be able to do it while he is asleep" Casey said to the confused LH "Why not, that might be our only option"

"You haven't seen Leo sleep" Casey replied as he walked back to Leo to get him to calm down.

"Come on Leo it will be ok."

Leo reluctantly nodded and LH placed the needle into his arm, he whimpered and hid but it was almost over. "That's it Leo almost done" Casey repeated until finally the needle was out. Soon after Leo fell asleep on the couch with Raph snuggled into his Plastron.

April's POV:

we got back to the warehouse and I placed the food in the makeshift kitchen and walked to where the guys were, I stopped in my tracks however when I heard Casey encouraging I heard light snoring so I walked in. Casey stared at me for a minute before turning to Leo and Raph sleeping. Leatherhead was just changing the IV in Leo's arm and then he bandaged the spot where it was to stop Leo yanking it out.

It was around Tea time now and we were sitting eating. The guys had woken up (excluding Leo who was currently sedated from the needle earlier) and were a bit disoriented at first but then saw they were together and that they were ok.

NO POV

"Is Leo ok?" Donnie asked cautiously noticing he hadn't spoken. "He's asleep Donnie" Casey replied.

"Did he take the needle?" Donnie once again asked. "Yes Donatello he did" Splinter replied.

Everyone sat talking and relaxing until we heard heavy breathing which scared us all we turned around to see Leo kicking in his sleep. Casey ran over with Splinter as Raph got closer. "Leonardo...shh it's alright my son you are safe." Splinter reassured. Suddenly Leo's eyes snapped open and he shot up "Mikey!" he screamed looking around the room until he saw Mikey with April and Donnie. At the sound of his name Mikey ran to Leo and dearly hugged him not letting go for dear life. Leo returned the hug as everyone sat wide eyed at what just occurred. "Are you hungry my sons?" Splinter spoke as his sons nodded (excluding Leo who was not letting go of Mikey) Splinter went to get some food.

"They need the injections again" LH spoke up to the turtles who were close together. Raph and Donnie were huddled together but listened and had their needles done. However when Slash approached Mikey and him Leo lashed out and brought his body in front of Mikey. "Don't touch him!" Leo shouted at Slash who was about to go in with the needle again when Leo dived on him and brought him to the ground. "Leo get off...come on man" Casey shouted trying to pry Leo's hands from around Slash. "Leonardo!" Splinter shouted he then ran over to his son and pulled him off of Slash . Leo then took defensive and stayed in front of Mikey. Who was now ready to fight with his brother. Splinter and Casey after a hard battle managed to get Leo sedated and away from Slash. While LH had a now also sedated Mikey, who was waking up from the small dose where Leo was given a full syringe.

Slash later went out but went to somewhere no one expected him to go...

"Master Shredder Slash has arrived" Tiger Claw announce as Slash walked into the building.

"What news of the turtles." Shredder asked him.

"They are all alive and can be re-captured soon"

"And what of their attitudes"

"Michelangelo, has not changed much but is more serious, Donatello has a need to be with someone at all times. Raphael is more protective but has softened up"

"And what of Leonardo"

"he has grown shy and skittish, though he still protects his brothers he is haunted by nightmares and is often a pain in the butt"

"Pathetic, he shall soon fall and his family after him."

"How are you to do that?"

"With your help Leonardo shall pay!"
