(With Raph)

Raph finally found his big brother in the dojo, doing the Dragon-through-the-flame kata, which they all knew only Laila could do.

"Hey, Raph."

"Hey."

"Any reason why you're in here?"

"Laila wants to see ya." Raph saw Leo tense up.

"I don't know if I can face her, not after..."

"Well, she thinks ya hate her, so are ya gonna let her believe that?" Raph left the dojo and Leo left as well to go see Laila, despite all the pain it caused him to see her ever since the day they rescued her from Sacks. He headed up to Donnie's lab and hesitantly opened the door, there was Donnie applying more stitches on Laila.

"Hey, Leo." Laila noticed Leo and she beamed.

"Hey." He saw Donnie put the needle aside and he left.

Leo sat down beside the bed, keeping his gaze away from Laila. All he ever had was visions of Laila in the cage, shock collar on, beaten, almost dead.

"Oniichan? You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Oniichan-"

"Laila, I don't hate you," Laila blinked in surprise before she realized that Raph must have told him that she thought he hated her.

"Then how come you haven't come to see me?"

"I-"

"Oniichan?"

"I just-everytime I see you, I get flashbacks of when we found you in that cage, I'm sorry Imoto."

"It's not your fault-"

"If I haven't started that argument, you wouldn't have left, gotten kidnapped and you wouldn't be injured like this."

"Leo, I chose to leave the lair, so technially it's my fault for leaving."

"Imoto...I'm sorry I didn't get there in time to protect you."

"It's fine, there wasn't anything you could've done to stop it anyways..you know you're sounding like Raph." Leo couldn't help but chuckle as he pet her head. Noticing her half asleep, he turned to leave, but felt Laila's hand on his arm.

"Stay, oniichan, please..." Laila had her puppy eyes as she looked at him and Leo flinched, trying to avoid giving in, but he couldn't.

"Alright." He sat back down and Laila's eyes brightened even more turning them into a very light gray.

"I love you oniichan."

"I love you too, imoto." Leo hesitantly put his hand on her cheek and Laila leaned into it, as if she was on autopilot before sleep overtook her.
