"Um Leatherhead?" Mikey asked the mutant crock. "Yes Michelangelo?" He replied waiting for the answer. "Is Leo gonna be ok?" Mikey asked timidly slightly cowering into Donnie who was curious at their older brother's well being.
"Mentally we are not sure. However physically I can tell you he is doing fine. Both his wrists healed nicely, so did his leg and arm. The marks on his back however have not healed and will take longer unless he tells us how they got there in the first place. Other than that your brother's strength is back as you have seen." LH concluded. Mikey giggled a bit remembering how easily Leo took down Slash, twice.
"Do you boys know how the marks got on to his shell and plastron?" LH asked calmly and both Donnie and Mikey shot each other a look before looking over to Raph who was by an unconscious Leo's side sleeping soundly. Donnie then slowly nodded and Mikey nodded afterwards. "Would you please tell us?" Splinter said sitting next to Mikey who snuggled into him immediately . Donnie nodded and whispered something inaudible. "Repeat please Donatello" Splinter sked as no-one heard. "Whip" Donnie whispered so silently but LH and Splinter heard and a sign of worry, pity and anger flashed through their eyes. "He took a longer beating to save us from it" Mikey whimpered into hiss father's soft fur. He was so grateful to have such a loving family, through this harsh time. "What's going on?" Raph asked waking up from his sleep. He still had a hand clenched into Leo's and turned at the sound of Mikey crying. "Mike?" Raph asked and regretted it as soon as he saw a tears steiken Mikey. "What happened?" Raph asked in a demanding tone. "Relax Raphael we were talking about what happened in your time as captives" Splinter explained. Raph tensed slightly looking back over to Leo. "The Shredder seems to have targeted your brother more." LH concluded walking over to Raph he then patted him on the shoulder and checked Leo's vitals. "That bad excuse for a can opener will pay, for what he did" Raph growled back.
Mikey giggled at Raph's very inventive nickname and said his own. "Yeah that wannabe transformer needs a taste of his own medicine. "Raph, Donnie and Mikey began laughing while Splinter let his smile show through, it was nice to see his sons laugh again. "Yeah he needs to take his fork hands and go back to the kitchen" Donnie joined in and everyone kept laughing. April and Casey walked in and couldn't help but be confused at the scene in front of them. "What happened?" April asked and the Turtles were in stitches. Splinter composed himself and repeated the funny nicknames for the Shredder. "So let me get this straight The Shredder is a Can opener, Who is a wannabe transformer and has forks for hands who lives in a kitchen?" Casey asked and it was silent for a second and then everyone burst out into laughter.
Kurtzman then walked in to see everyone crying with laughter. "What exactly did I miss?" Kurtzman asked.
"A step towards healing" Splinter replied as everyone settled down and watched a Krognard marathon.
A/N: Ok so I read over "Shredded" today and I saw how I had injured them so I decided to just clean that up. Other than that I was watching a TMNT Chibi on Youtube which was too cute for me to handle so then I wrote this. Hope you liked it.
