During the Krognard marathon, Master Splinter, LH, April and Casey fell asleep. "Should we let them sleep?" Mikey asked Raph who was sitting next to Leo. "Yeah little brother they need a break, we will wake um up when fearless is awake." Raph replied he had left the couch a while ago to check on Leo and then just never moved again.
A few hours later.
"Donnie , Mikey!" Raph shout whispered. "What is it Raph?" Asked a tired Donatello. "It's Leo he is squeezing my hand, I think he's waking up" Raph said. "Mikey wake up Lh" Donnie said moving to Raph's side. Soon enough Lh and Mikey were standing near Leo too
Slowly but surely Leo's Azure eyes opened, "Hey bro, How ya feeling?" Raph asked lightly squeezing Leo's hand." Good" Leo whispered back. "LH why does he sound so drousy?" Mikey asked as concern flashed through his eyes. "It's just the drug wearing off Michelangelo. Raphael can you and Donatello sit Leonardo up so I can take the breathing mask off?" LH asked getting ready to take the mask off. Donnie and Raph nodded as they moved into position. They lifted Leo's head and LH took the mask off. The lay him back down and Raph went back to holding his hand in his own. "What happened while I was out?" Leo asked quietly. "Well we were talking about you know who and how he's a pathetic excuse for a can opener and a wannabe transformer who has fork hands and lives in a kitchen." Mikey repeated, to his relief Leo smiled and even added to their list."Mikey?"
"Yeah Leo?" Mikey answered. "You forgot that he looks like a cheese grater." Leo replied as Raph snickered and Donnie had to hold his mouth from laughing so he didn't wake Master Splinter up. "eww, that would be some horrible cheese!" Mikey shouted disgusted and no-one could hold it in anymore and they just burst out laughing, including LH.
"Can't anyone get any sleep around here" Casey growled as he awoke to the sound of roaring laughter. "Good to see you're awake bonehead" Raph whispered back.
"At least you guys are happy, right Casey?!" April stated nudging past Casey towards Leo's bed. "Yeah Casey don't be such a ninkenpoop!" Mikey growled playfully, Casey joined them and was laughing at Mikey's insult.
"It's good to see you awake Leonardo" Splinter said walking across the room. "Leo smiled and nodded as his father placed a kiss across his forehead. Splinter then walked out to the kitchen and made some soup as well as some oatmeal for the others. April joined Splinter in the kitchen to help with breakfast as Casey helped Leo sit up in his bed and Raph, Mikey and Donnie sat back on the couch.
"Breakfast's a comin!" April shouted as she handed the Oatmeal to the 3 turtles on the ground. Soon Dr Rockwell , LH , Kurtzman , Pete and Slash joined them.
"Splinter my friend" LH said in the kitchen. "Yes LH" He answered. "Leonardo will not be able to eat on his own and need to be fed or given his meal in a mug." LH told him. "Thank you LH, for looking after my sons." and with that they all sat down to eat.
"Here Leonardo, do not be ashamed if you need help my son." Splinter handed Leo the cup and sat next to him. Leo nodded gratefully and started on his meal. "Thank you Splinter and April" Rockwell said before putting his dish into the sink and then he walked over to Leonardo's bed.
"Do you mind if I ask you a few questions Leonardo?" Rockwell asked calmly so he didn't scare him. Leo only nodded and gave his empty mug to Master Splinter.
"Thank you, are you in any pain?" Rockwell asked.
Leo nodded, "My shell hurts a lot" He said in small whisper
"Okay , do you have a headache?"
Leo shook his head. "Does it hurt when you breathe?"
Leo slightly nodded "Only sometimes" he yet again whispered.
"That's all I need for now, thank you"
"Your welcome" he whispered softly, "Hey Leo Space Heroes is on" Mikey called from the TV. Leo turned to the TV and they watched Space Heroes. A happy family once again.
Yet they were all oblivious about what was to come...
