But really, he is!","writing":"Chapter 13-\n\n\tLeo awoke from his long day time resting and found that the sun was slowly starting to go down. The room started glowing a gold tint around the mint green turtle. Leo’s eyes widen. \n\n\t[i]Shit, April could get home any minute.[/I]\n\n\tHe shouted out for her just in case she was home. No answer. Leo sighed in relief and got up, the room spun and he sat back down. One hand caressing his head. He waited a few minutes before trying a second attempt. Slowly getting up, his free hand supporting him with the arm of the couch. He hobbled over to the kitchen, dumping a few pain killers in his palm and stuffing them in his belt pocket before taking one right now. Gulping the water bottle till empty and throwing it away. \n\n\tSighing, he leaned against the table and contemplating the popcorn ceiling till the headache finally went away. He walked over to the window and unlocked it, hopping out, closing it behind him, before climbing up the fire escape.\n\n. . .\n\n\tApril walked through the door of her apartment. Huffing as her bag fell from her shoulder, she swung it off her arm and landed with a thud on the ground.\n\n\t“Leo! I’m home!”\n\n\tWhen no answer came she just shrugged. Guessing that her ninja mutant friend decided to leave. She went over to the kitchen and dug around the refrigerator, grabbing a water bottle. \n\n\tShe felt a vibration in her pocket and she grabbed out her T-phone Don had given her.\n\n\t“Hello?”\n\n\t[i]“Hey April. This is Donnie. I was wondering if you’ve seen Leo around. He didn’t come home last night.”[/i]\n\n\t“Yeah, he was just here. He spent the night. I assumed he just left.”\n\n\t[i]“Do you have any clue where?”[/i]\n\n\t“No. If he hasn’t arrived back home in ten minutes. Call me.”\n\n[i]\t“Alright, I’ll check in with Casey to see if he stopped by there.”[/i]\n\n\t“I likely doubt that would be any place Leo would want to go, but we’ll see. Bye Don.” She hung up the phone and gazed at it worriedly before sighing and stuffing it back in her pocket. She hoped Leo had the sense to go home. She really didn’t want to think what might happen if Leo gets emotional in the middle of New York. She prayed not something reckless.\n\n. . .\n\n\tLeo sat on the edge of the roof top as he watched a few busy people fly by either in cars, bikes, or walking. He sighed and rubbed the space between his eyes. Being outside and here hasn’t helped him with anything! He was still as confused and upset as ever and gained little to no courage to go home. \n\n\tHe couldn’t even get him brave enough to call Donnie to make sure they don’t worry too much about him. Then again, he could call April and leave her a message for his family. He shook his head, in that case he might as well leave them his address. He was sure they would find a way to track him down. Even though he left his T-phone at April’s apartment. On purpose of course.\n\n\tWith a depressed sigh, the mint green turtle got back on his feet and ran. Didn’t know where to, but he found the exercise to be helpful in relaxing his tired mind. He would meditate but he could never find the peace and quiet out here that he would need.\n\n\tLeo stopped suddenly at the edge of a roof top. Looking down in the alley way. He couldn’t have told anyone how long and far he’s been running, but he didn’t exactly care. He just knew that he had worn himself down. He grumbled, hopping down the fire escape. He’ll just take the long way down.\n\n\tAs soon as his feet landed on the cold concrete of the bottom of the alleyway. He felt his not alone instincts tingling. \n\n\tLeo looked through the shadows of the alleyway. Nothing. Maybe it was just paranoia again. Leo groaned and rubbed his temples.\n\n\t[i]I’m over doing it. I need to find somewhere to rest and maybe get something to eat.[/I]\n\n\tLeo would have hopped to the fire escape across from him but he found his ankle was caught in rope. He gazed at it in confusion before he bent down to untie it only for the knot to tighten and suddenly jerk his foot out from under him. The sapphire eyed terrapin yelped in astonishment and collapsed with a scrape of his shell against concrete. \n\n\tFoot ninja’s appeared from everywhere, shadows in corners, windows, roofs. And they surrounded him completely. Leo quickly tried to pull and untie the knot of the rope but it wouldn’t budge. He growled and decided to deal with this the easier way. Reaching behind him, his hand was planning to grope the handle of his sword but he found nothing but air. He tapped his shell and looked behind him. He forgot he left his sword.\n\n\tHe tugged against the rope and brought two foot bots out from the crowd and towards him. He kicked one, stood up, and grabbed the second bots neck, hammering its medal head into his knee. He tried to untie the knot and again his overly large fingers didn’t do nothing to the blood stopping knot. \n\n\tHe spotted two more bots from his peripheral vision and ducked quickly. The foot ninjas tripped over his shell and went sprawling in front of him. Leo smirked at the sight and swiftly pushed himself up to his feet. Back flipped to avoid a sword to the head and he flew right over top several, landing on the other side of the group easily. He fiddled more with the knot but growled as he failed the third time, scooping up the hanging rope, he leapt off the ground and to the fire escape. Climbing up. \n\n\tChains this time wrapped around his other ankle and yanked him down. Leo’s body smashed against the medal stairs, he rolled to his shell to prevent a broken nose as he was pulled farther down. He gripped a hold of a drain pipe and held on like his personal life line. \n\n\tLooking upwards, he wasn’t predicting for two more foot bots to come from above him. Holding sharp weapons that looked ready to chop his head clean off. Leo let go of the pipe and allowed himself to slide. Grabbing onto the edge of the steps of the fire escape. His legs hanging off the end. He looked around himself for a good hole to escape through. He couldn’t find squat as he was surrounded in a wall of foot ninja’s. He tried to pull himself back up, but the chain around his ankle prevented him from doing so. Another amount of bots grabbed the loose rope and continued to pull. Leo’s grip on the edge slipping.\n\n\tThe blue masked ninja looked above him. Those two bots he left behind were right there, and if they were alive he swore they would be smirking at him. \n\n\tOne’s foot had come up and hammered down on Leo’s fingers. Pressing hard. Leo gave a hiss pulling his hand out and shaking it in pain. He was hanging now by one hand, and that was more than enough for his enemy’s to defeat him. Leo watched before he could do anything as the others foot squished his other hand. The sapphire eyes screwed closed as he tried to withstand the pain and get himself back up, but the longer he struggled, the harder it seemed to be before his hand slipped and he fell into the group of ninja bots.\n\n. . .\n\n\tExactly ten minutes as April had instructed, her T-phone went off into a vibrating frenzy. She took the shell cell out and clicked the answer button. Holding the receiver to her ear.\n\n\t“Did you find him?” She asked. Already knowing who it was.\n\n\t[i]“No. Casey said he didn’t hear a word from him. He hasn’t come home and he certainly hasn’t called yet.”[/i]\n\n\t“Have you tried tracking down his phone to see where he is?”\n\n\t[i]“I was just about to do that.”[/i]\n\n\t“Okay, I’ll try calling him again.” April hung up the phone and started pressing in the numbers of the blue clad turtles number. She could hear that soft familiar ring tone muffled. She searched around the apartment. Checking under and around things till she entered the couch. She got down on her hands and knees, scrambling under the couch till her fingers wrapped around something. Pulling it out, her green eyes went huge as she spotted Leo’s phone.\n\n. . .\n\n\t“Well Donatello? Any news?” Master Splinter asked worriedly as Don got off the phone with April the third time.\n\n\t“Just as the computer say’s Sensei. Leo left his phone at April’s. We have no clue where he’s at now.”\n \n\t“Then we can’t wait here any longer. I know Leonardo is going through some stuff, but staying away from home for two nights is unacceptable.”\n\n\t“But Sensei, don’t you think Leo will come home when he’s ready? He’s probably out there trying to clear his head. You know.” Mikey cut in. Raph growled under his breath. He tucked himself away in a corner. Casually leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest.\n\n\t“That selfish prick.” He mumbled under his breath. Earning a sharp glare from Splinter as his ears caught a hold of the statement.\n\n\t“My sons, we must leave now. Both the kraang and the Shredder are searching for us and if they have gotten a hold of Leonardo[s]---[/s]“ \n\n\t“Sensei, I’m sure he’s just fine.” Don interrupted him.\n\n\t“We can’t take the risk. Grab what you need and hurry out immediately.” Without any more questions the three turtles left the room, packing themselves up with their weapons and any useful tools. Rushing out of the lair. While the old rat watched his sons go, he had confined himself in the corner of the dojo, sitting in the traditional meditation position. Taking deep breaths and closed his eyes. Hoping maybe he could get a connection. Somehow.\n\n\t\t[i][center]Leonardo. . . [/center]\n\n\t\t\t\tLeonardo, can you hear me?\n\n\n\t[right]AAAAAAHHHH![/right]\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLEONARDO!\n\n[/i]. . .\n\n\t“Well? Anything?” Don looked towards his two brothers. Mikey shook his head, his facial expression that was once happy with an over grown smile was completely down into a frown. \n\n\t“Nothing Don. No sign of him anywhere.”\n\n\t“Raph?”\n\n\t“No. Nothing.” \n\n\tDon frowned at this. “Then we got to keep moving. We have to find some sort of clue.”\n\n\tThe three turtles kept on moving as instructed. Don looked behind him at Raph in concern. He was at the back of the pack, his head hanging low and he looked to be under tons of stress. Which in some cases he couldn’t blame him for. \n\n\tWhat he really wanted to know was what exactly was going through that emerald reptiles head. He looked distressed, but yet he always seemed angry ever since that night. Or perhaps he was just as confused about his own emotions. Don wanted to halt everything and demand answers but they had a more important task ahead of them. Those answers would be completely useless if they couldn’t find their oldest brother. \n\n\t“Hey Don! I think I found something!” The shout of the youngest snapped Don out of his thoughts. He spotted Mikey kneeling against the edge of the rooftop, looking upon an alleyway.\n\n\t“What is it Mikey!?”\n\n\t“It looks to be a war zone.” Without any more time to spare, the leaf green turtle hopped off the roof and crawled down the fire escape. \n\n\tLooking around, the evidence of a fight taking place was all over the ground and walls. There was throwing stars and knives all stuck in walls and garbage cans. Cuts and gashes on the concrete. Even left over pieces of dark black garb was deserted on the ground and rolled as the wind picked it up.\n\n\tMikey walked over to one of the throwing stars. Tugging it out of the wall, he studied the steel. \n\n\tDon walked over and stomped on one of the loose fabrics before it could get away from them. Picking it up, he gasped. The foot symbol imprinted on it.\n\n\t“Don, I think the foot kidnapped Leo.”\n\n\t“Either that, or Leo escaped barely with his life.”\n\n\t“But I don’t see any evidence of Leo escaping. There would be trails of blood leading away from the battle zone. Don’t you think?” Don nodded.\n\n\tTo Don’s horror though, there as blood. Heavily coating the stones of the building. It dripped only in one place from the looks of it. It looked like they were dragging Leo, but then the blood stains cut off. Don studied the area thoroughly.\n\n\tRaph on the other hand, had his hands stuffed in his belt pockets as he looked around the area. Feeling the sight hurt deeper than he was fond of. Getting out of his brothers way, he leapt on the other fire escape and walked around it. He flinched when he found even more of that copper smelling liquid dripping between the bars. Looking like the small pieces of medal cut through his brother’s skin. Closing his eyes and taking a breath, he tried to block out the smell and sight. \n\n\tOkay, just because he yelled at him, and pretty much said he hated him. Didn’t mean he wanted Leo tortured, or dead.\n\n\tWith a sigh, Raph walked farther up the fire escape. Then his movements froze. Blue. He caught the sight of blue. \n\n\tTurning around he slowly made his way back down the steps. There was more fabric blowing in the wind. He kneeled down and grabbed the blue cloth, tugging it off of where it got caught on the end. It was Leo’s mask. Blood stained and torn. Raph frowned and rubbed the stitches between his fingers. Holding the mask up to his face he took in the scent. He sneered when most of his older brothers smell was covered up in copper stench. \n\n\t[i]Looks like Master Splinter was right.[/i] \n\n\tRaph wrapped the mask in his hand and held it close to his mouth. Giving it a small kiss. Tears puddled up in his emerald eyes.\n\n\t[i]Leo was kidnapped.[/i]\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Chapter 13-

Looking like the small pieces of medal cut through his brother’s skin. Closing his eyes and taking a breath, he tried to block out the smell and sight.

\tOkay, just because he yelled at him, and pretty much said he hated him. Didn’t mean he wanted Leo tortured, or dead.

\tWith a sigh, Raph walked farther up the fire escape. Then his movements froze. Blue. He caught the sight of blue.

\tTurning around he slowly made his way back down the steps. There was more fabric blowing in the wind. He kneeled down and grabbed the blue cloth, tugging it off of where it got caught on the end. It was Leo’s mask. Blood stained and torn. Raph frowned and rubbed the stitches between his fingers. Holding the mask up to his face he took in the scent. He sneered when most of his older brothers smell was covered up in copper stench.

\tLooks like Master Splinter was right.

\tRaph wrapped the mask in his hand and held it close to his mouth. Giving it a small kiss. Tears puddled up in his emerald eyes.

\tLeo was kidnapped.
