OK, uh, hi. You're all gonna kill me because I'm late. Again. But in my defense, I updated my other stories! And started my Sneefee Hugs One-Shots! Check that out if you haven't! On wit' ze story! Enjoy! Lots of action in this chapter!

Raph, Don, and April went to the Lair as Mike and Casey went to find Leo. Raph grumbled curses as they went into the lab. "Dun care 'bout mah damn leg... Jus' a li'l scratch!" he growled at Don.

The genius sat him on a cot. "Wrong, Raph. You have 3 gashes in your leg that, while not super-deep, still need to at least be disinfected and wrapped!"

Raph crossed his arms and grumbled something incoherent as April sprayed and wrapped his leg.

Don put away the materials. "OK, just stay put for a few-"

Raph jumped up, spinning his sais in his hands. "Like shell! We gotta find Leo!"

Don chuckled tolerantly and spun his bō for show. "Alright. April, will you stay here in case Leo comes back?" he asked, sheathing his bō.

April nodded, and the two turtles went out in search of their brother.

Mike and Casey ran across the rooftops, the city lights their only source of sight. Mike kept calling out," LEO! LEO! WEHRE ARE YOU?!"

Casey rolled his eyes. "He's a friggin' werewolf. 'E ain't gon' answa, numb-nuts!"

Mike stopped calling as they ran a bit faster. "But how do we get him, then?"

"Oh, I dunno," Casey said sarcastically," maybe by usin' the tracka in ya phone!"

Mike stopped in his tracks. "Oh." He took out his Shell Cell and pressed the blue tracker button, and smiled when he saw the blinking blue dot.

Before he and Casey could start running again, Raph called him. "Ya found 'im yet, bonehead?"

Mike rolled his eyes at the nickname. "Yeah. He's at the abandoned warehouse near that part of the city that absolutely nobody goes to."

"Alright. Meet ya dere."

Mike hung up and he and Casey changed direction to the warehouse.

Raph and Don arrived to the warehouse silently, looking around for any sign of Leo. Don said in a quiet whisper to Raph, "Not a sound. We can't afford him running away again-"

Mike's loud voice cut him off. "We're here! Come on out, Leo!"

Don face-palmed as Raph covered Mike's mouth. "So much for silence."

The genius caught Leo's silhouette around a corned and ran a bit closer. "Leo! Please stop running away!"

Leo hesitated and stopped. "Why won't you just listen to me and go away? You're just gonna end up like Raph's leg. Or worse."

Everyone glanced at Raph's leg.

Mike walked a bit closer to his brother. "But you can control yourself now!"

Leo drew back, but Raph went over closer. "Fer once, e's righ', bro," he said, causing Mike to lightly slap him in the arm. "Ya c'n control yerself now."

Leo's mark dimly glowed (though no one noticed) as he grew angrier. "Maybe for now I can. But what about later?"

Don pulled Mike away from Raph and took his place. "We'll never know unless you come with us."

Leo's mark glowed a bit brighter and he growled quietly. "I'm not coming. End of story."

Casey walked directly in front of him. "Yeah, ya are!"

Leo growled ferally and loudly and slashed right through Casey's hockey mask, giving him 3 cuts that would definitely scar.

His brothers pulled their weapons as Leo snarled at them. Don defended himself as Leo came at him. "LEO! Please try to fight this! We know you're stronger than this!"

Leo stopped. "Uh..."

Don smiled a bit as Leo's mark dimmed. "I mean, you've defied death tons of times! and not to take credit, but we helped! So let us help you now!"

Leo's mark stopped glowing. Raph helped the fallen Casey up and used his mask to slow the bleeding. The claws hadn't hit his eye, thankfully. "Well, ya comin', Leo?"

Leo sighed and nodded, not wanting to lose control again.

As they entered the Lair, Raph and Don rushed Casey to the lab as Leo draped over the back of the couch, then drew back as he heard April yell out in surprise. "Sorry, Ms. O'Neil," he apologized as Mike draped next to Leo.

"Where's Casey?" April asked, looking around the room.

Mike pointed to the lab. "Got a little scratch to the face..."

April gasped and jumped up, running to the lab.

Mike took her spot on the couch. "So, uh, what's goin' on?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

Leo looked at him for a second, then shrugged monotonously. "Oh, nothing. Just the fact that I attacked you guys twice and injured Raph and Casey!"

His deep voice gave Mike the chills, but he didn't show it. "Oh, heh, yeah. Other than that?"

Leo glared at him. "I messed up my room, got us captured by the Foot, April's probably gonna be traumatized by me, and I may have to stay like this forever!"

Mike flinched at how loud Leo was, and tried to calm him down. "Uh, well, at least you won't remember when the sun rises?"

Leo forced a smile. "Thanks, Mike. Speaking of, what time is it?"

Mike looked a his Shell Cell. "The sun rises in a few minutes, actually. Why don't ya get to bed. You look like you need it."

Leo playfully rolled his eyes and went to his room. "Night, Mike."

There! I'm sorry again that I was late! BYE! Review, flame, rant, I don't care!
