Looking around, his vision was blurry. Exhaling a breath bubbles suddenly appeared. He was in water. That much he manage to figure out. He just couldn’t figure out how or why. He couldn’t remember anything for that matter of fact, the past several events were nothing but fuzzy. He was half conscious as it was and his mind was barely working. \n\n\t[i]. . . Shredder?[/i]\n\n\tHe could see the man. Oroku Saki was standing outside of the tank Leo was placed in. He looked to be yelling at someone. \n\n\t[i]Baxter . . . Stockman?[/i]\n\n\tThe words that they were speaking to each other was muffled, but he knew that Baxter must have failed at something and he was getting the lecture of his life. What he failed at he couldn’t have been sure of. Leo looked down at himself. He had cords connected to his skin. Everything seemed to be okay. Maybe what Baxter failed at was him. \n\n\tWhatever lights were in the room were suddenly shut off into complete darkness. Leo looked around through the tank. His hands pressing against the glass, trying to make out what exactly was happening. \n\n\tRed lights started flashing and a muffled alarm went off. There was shadows moving. Ones he couldn’t figure out.\n\n\tOne shadow in particular came really close to the tank. Leo yanked his hands back and hugged them to his chest. He couldn’t move very well so he remained floating in the middle, plus the cords wouldn’t allow him to go anywhere. There was pounding on the glass from the other side and Leo couldn’t help but wonder what in the hell was going on. The next flash of red lights, he spotted three shadows this time by the glass. \n\n\tOne was messing around a panel of buttons and next thing you know the water in his tank started draining. When the water was completely gone Leo’s feet stepped on the bottom but his knees were too weak to remain standing and he ended up falling. He was expecting to smash against the walls but apparently the glass had opened for reasons he wouldn’t know. Landing in a pair of arms. \n\n\t“. . . eo! Leo. . . !” He recognized that voice. He heard it before. He just didn’t know where. “Donnie, is he okay?” It was deeper and rougher than the others that were rambling on his other side. \n\n\tHe could feel people touching him all over his skin. He felt cold and wet. He shivered and released a small sound that resembled a groan.\n\n\t“He should be fine. I’ll need some instruments from my lab to be sure.” Leo let out a stronger groan. Another lab? That’s all he needed was to be put into another tank for experiments. He herd movements around him. \n\n\t“It’s going to be okay Leo. I got you.” Leo didn’t know why, but the sound of that man’s voice comforted him. It was more of a gut feeling that he should trust whoever was talking to him. \n\n\t“Come on! We got to go!” \n\n\tAn arm hooked around his legs while another supported his shell. Lifting him up from the ground. He knew the name of that voice. It was on the tip of his tongue. He saw him every time he slept. \n\n\t“R-Raph[s]---[/s]” Leo muffled out. Feeling a small kiss on his forehead. He could feel himself on the verge of unconsciousness. \n\n\t“I got you Leo. Don’t worry. You’re safe.”\n\n. . .\n\n\tRaph paced the outside of his brother’s lab. He wanted so bad to have been in there, making sure that Leo was alright but Don had instructed him to wait outside. To make matters worse Master Splinter, Mikey, and his other two friends insisted that was the best thing to do. With a scowl, Raph had followed the commands much to his discomfort.\n\n\tIt had been an hour tops since they brought their older brother home finally. Leo had been unconscious the whole ride there. Thankfully though the escape back out wasn’t so hard. In fact, it was easy. Almost too easy. Raph had thought, but he shook the thought aside for now. He was just grateful he finally could get his brother back.\n\n\tRaph jumped in surprise when the door finally opened. Don walked in, wiping away the sweat from his forehead. \n\n\t“Well Don!?” The emerald turtle asked frantically.\n\n\t“Calm down Raph. He’s going to be fine. Just needed a lot of patching up, but I ran tests and he’s perfectly healthy.”\n\n\t“No side effects from the experiments? Nothing?” \n\n\tDon shook his head. “I assure you Raph. Leo is fine. Whatever experiments they performed had failed.” Raph closed his eyes, letting out a sigh of relief. \n\n\t“Anything we can do for him now?”\n\n\t“Just take him to his room. He needs to sleep.” Raph nodded. Walking past his genius sibling and into the lab. He frowned when he caught sight of the mint green turtle. Laying still on the cot. More still than to his liking. Walking over, he rested his hand on Leo’s arm. His fingers trailing along the smooth skin. He stared at that face, Leo looked calm and peaceful in his deep slumber. He couldn’t help the smile that played on his facial features. The back of his hand caressed the cheek. \n\n\t“Raph[s]---[/s]” The whisper came so soft Raph had almost missed it. \n\n\t“Don’t worry. I got you.” He murmured back. Picking Leo up carefully. Peeling away the IV tube from his arm. He carried the sapphire eyed terrapin out of the lab. Ignoring the stares he found himself getting and proceeded his way down the hall into Leo’s room. He laid the turtle down on the blue made bed, pulling the blankets up to his chin. \n\n\t“Get some rest.” \n\n\tWith that, Raph left the room. Giving back a glance over his shoulder before shutting the door. Standing on the other side, his shell leaning against the wood. Groaning and rubbing the space between his eyes. \n\n\tPushing himself away from the door he made his way into his room. Collapsing on his hammock. Shifting enough that he could get balanced. \n\n\tRaph gazed at the brick ceiling above him. He remembered seeing this same exact ceiling every day of his life. Finding himself studying the nicks, cranny’s, and cracks that marked over the stone to the point he memorized it like the back of his hand. Creating a map in his mind. Just like he made a map of New York City. To be able to know everything and every place. Apparently all his work had failed. That whole time Leo was missing, every hint they got of where exactly Shredder was keeping him always finished in a dead end. \n\n\tAnd that was the worst three weeks of his life.\n\n\tRaph was restless, he wouldn’t stop for nothing till he found his brother. [i]That [/i]he swore to himself. But he wasn’t the only one, Don had locked himself in his lab hours at a time trying to track down Leo. Mikey was either in the dojo working out or in his room doing Raph didn’t know what. Neither did he know about Casey and April. He lost updates on everyone else after some time. His family had insisted several times that he must stop to sleep or eat. Raph wouldn’t give himself that type of luxury. The guilt he constantly felt prevented the food to be swallowed and for sleep to be way past his reach. So he never bothered.\n\n\tHis thoughts would continuously remind him of what he had said to Leo. Okay, so most of it was true. He was emotionally bothered by the thought that he had fallen in love with a girl and in reality it was his brother in disguise.\n\n\tThe thought that Leo could stoop so low as to deceive him in such a way was unbelievable. Their whole lives together, he always thought of that blue masked ninja to be the perfect son. The fearless leader. Apparently he wasn’t so fearless, and not as perfect as he always pictured him. He would have figured that if anyone was to be responsible for the cruel prank it would be Mikey, but even then he wouldn’t think Mikey would have gone that far. \n\n\tRaph groaned and rubbed between his eyes. His thoughts were giving him a head ache.\n\n\tLeo had told him he loved him and at first he was incredibly creeped out by the thought[s]---[/s]\n\n\tNow not so much.\n\n\t[i]This is one fucked up situation we’re in.[/i]\n\n\tThe knock on the door snapped Raph out of his thoughts, and caused his heart to nearly jump out of his chest in the process. Raph stared at the door for a few seconds persuading his legs to swing off the hammock. A skill he learned how to do over the years. He walked to the door and paused.\n\n\t“Who is it?”\n\n\t“. . . It’s Mikey.” The answer was hesitant and sounded guilty. Raph blinked, he wouldn’t have expected Mikey would be one to want to pay him a visit. He figured the youngest would be at Leo’s bedside responding to every groan. He shook the thought away and opened the door. Leaning casually against the door frame.\n\n\t“What do ya want?”\n\n\t“I-I wanted to talk to you Raph.” \n\n\tRaph stared at the orange masked ninja before he nodded and moved out the way so Mikey could enter. He couldn’t remember the last time he’s seen the rambunctious turtle so nervous and shy in his life. Mikey stood in the corner, rubbing his arms and gazing at the ground. Raph followed and sat on his press bench, staring curiously at Mikey.\n\n\t“So what did you want to talk about?”\n\n\t“I’m sorry Raph. This is my fault.”\n\n\t“What?”\n\n\t“What happened between you and Leo wasn’t his fault. It was mine.” Raph stared, mouth agape. Okay, now he was confused.\n\n\t“Okay, what are you rambling about now?”\n\n\t“It was a prank I pulled on Leo, Raph!” Mikey shouted out. Tears clouding his vision. “I wanted Leo to play truth or dare with me and Donnie, and he did. I persuaded him to pick dare and when he did I dared him to dress up like a girl. Don helped with the breasts and figure. April dressed him up. This was supposed to last a week. That’s how long I arranged it. Anyway, the night you met Lyric. I talked him into pretending he was someone else. I kept that up with him for the past week. Getting him deeper and deeper into the mess till the point Leo had to find a way to drag himself out.”\n\n\tRaph gawked at his youngest sibling in astonishment. That wasn’t the explanation he was expecting to get or from who he was going to get it from, but he had to admit that did clarify a lot of things. \n\n\t“Please don’t be mad at Leo anymore Raph. It wasn’t his fault.”\n\n\tRaph sighed and shook his head. “I’m not mad at Leo anymore Mikey. Nor am I with you. I’m just[s]---[/s] confused.” \n\n\t“It wasn’t just his fault Raph.” The emerald turtle looked up and found both Donnie and April standing in the front door. “We’re just as responsible as Mikey is.”\n\n Raph looked over the group that was in his room.\n\n“Be mad at anyone of us. But don’t blame any of this on Leo.” April cut in. \n\n“I’m not. I already told Mikey I’m not mad anymore.” Raph sighed and gave them a stern look. “But Mikey had told me that this prank lasted for only a week before you stopped. So it was Leo’s fault that it took that long to tell me, where he should have told me as soon as you guy’s let him off the prank.” \n\n“But[s]---[/s]” April tried to protest, but was immediately interrupted. \n\n“I don’t care if you guys are the one that dragged him in there in the first place. No matter how deep in the situation he had gotten. It was wrong of him to continue with it instead of telling me the truth. If it wasn’t for as long as it was, I may have forgiven him easier. But not right now.” \n\n“That’s not fair.”\n\n“Life isn’t fair Donnie. But doesn’t mean I’m not going to forgive you three any sooner.” The group was silent for several moments before nodding. Exiting the room. Raph stared at the door a few minutes before laying down on his press bench and rubbing his head and grumbling. Even though things has gotten cleared up. He was just as confused as ever.\n\nRaph was plenty of relieved and happy that they had gotten Leo back from the clutches of Shredder’s paws before anything bad really happened. \n\nBut now as soon as Leo wakes up he was going to have to figure out a way of apologizing for his behavior than find a way to forgive Leo at the same time. \n\nThe red masked ninja rolled off the press bench and back to his hammock. Making himself comfortable and stared at the same ceiling. If only the answer was just scratched on the brick. Raph sighed and closed his eyes. He needed some shut eye as well, then maybe the answer will reveal itself in his sleep. \n\nHis hopes of an answer appearing was crushed when a pair of sapphire eyes that he had fallen in love with showed their way into his dream. Raph grumbled and opened his own eyes. This was definitely going to be harder than he thought it would be.\n\nRaph rolled to his side. His hand reaching for the night stand. Opening the drawer he grabbed ahold of the pill bottle inside he had snatched from the bathroom cabinets. He had been needing to use them more often than is probably healthy for him, but his mind hadn’t allowed him that many peaceful nights all on his own. \n\nHe downed the pills easily and set the bottle to the side. Waiting impatiently for them to take effect. \n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Chapter 14-

\tLeo’s eyes peeked open. His body was sore and strangely warm. He tried to move but he felt himself floating. Looking around, his vision was blurry. Exhaling a breath bubbles suddenly appeared. He was in water. That much he manage to figure out. He just couldn’t figure out how or why. He couldn’t remember anything for that matter of fact, the past several events were nothing but fuzzy.

\tNow not so much.

\tThis is one fucked up situation we’re in.

\tThe knock on the door snapped Raph out of his thoughts, and caused his heart to nearly jump out of his chest in the process. Raph stared at the door for a few seconds persuading his legs to swing off the hammock. A skill he learned how to do over the years. He walked to the door and paused.

\t“It wasn’t just his fault Raph.” The emerald turtle looked up and found both Donnie and April standing in the front door. “We’re just as responsible as Mikey is.”

 Raph looked over the group that was in his room.

“Be mad at anyone of us. But don’t blame any of this on Leo.” April cut in.

“I’m not. I already told Mikey I’m not mad anymore.” Raph sighed and gave them a stern look. “But Mikey had told me that this prank lasted for only a week before you stopped.

Raph stared at the door a few minutes before laying down on his press bench and rubbing his head and grumbling. Even though things has gotten cleared up. He was just as confused as ever.

Raph was plenty of relieved and happy that they had gotten Leo back from the clutches of Shredder’s paws before anything bad really happened.

But now as soon as Leo wakes up he was going to have to figure out a way of apologizing for his behavior than find a way to forgive Leo at the same time.

The red masked ninja rolled off the press bench and back to his hammock. Making himself comfortable and stared at the same ceiling. If only the answer was just scratched on the brick. Raph sighed and closed his eyes. He needed some shut eye as well, then maybe the answer will reveal itself in his sleep.

His hopes of an answer appearing was crushed when a pair of sapphire eyes that he had fallen in love with showed their way into his dream. Raph grumbled and opened his own eyes. This was definitely going to be harder than he thought it would be.

Raph rolled to his side. His hand reaching for the night stand. Opening the drawer he grabbed ahold of the pill bottle inside he had snatched from the bathroom cabinets. He had been needing to use them more often than is probably healthy for him, but his mind hadn’t allowed him that many peaceful nights all on his own.

He downed the pills easily and set the bottle to the side. Waiting impatiently for them to take effect.
