Chapter 1: Separated


The rain was pouring down when Leonardo woke, but it was hard to move, he felt like a giant hand was holding him down. The blue clad turtle groaned. He felt as if his head was going to split open. Leo attempted to push himself to his feet, but that was a bad idea his leg gave out from under him. He forced himself into a sitting position, it took him a moment to steady himself. He reached his hand down and touched his ankle, it hurt to touch it and from what he could tell it was swollen. Leo looked around him, his katanas were broken in several pieces. He reached his hand up to touch his head and when he brought it down it was covered in blood. He sighed. Leo slowly looked around to look for his brothers, but could not find them anywhere. He went to reach for T-Phone to call his brothers only to find it missing.

It seemed like hours before he could move. With his ankle injury Leo found himself crawling to the edge. Leo awkwardly climbed down the steps, each step was painful. He had to hang on tightly due to the slippery bars. When he got closer to the bottom he lost his footing and crashed down to the ground in a puddle.

Soaking wet, Leo finally made his way to the lair, by the time he got there he lost the strength to move, "Sensei," he croaked out, before collapsing.

Splinter's sensitive ears twitched, he heard his son call his name, "Leonardo!" he called out, running to his son. Splinter slipped one arm under Leo's arms and the other under his knees. He carried him off to his room. He gently placed his son in his bed, "I will be right back my son." Leo did not respond.

Splinter came back with the medical kit. He looked over his son's body there was many minor cuts and bruises, but he had a deep gash just above his mask. Splinter sprayed the gash with a numbing solution, it caused his son to flinch, "I am sorry my son it will all be okay," he began to stitch the wound closed. Then he checked over Leo's ankle, it appeared to be broken. Splinter wrapped up his blue clad son's ankle so that he could not move it.

All Splinter could do was sit by his son's side, wondering where is other three sons were.

It was an hour later when Leo woke up. "Father?" he croaked out weakly, trying to sit up.

"Leonardo," Splinter said quietly, placing a hand on his on to stop him from moving.

"Where are my brothers? What happened?"

"You do not know what happened?" Splinter said.

"No," Leo said, his eyes full of concern.

Splinter looked back down at Leonardo, he was fighting to stay awake, "rest my son, your brothers will come home."

The rain was coming down harder than ever, there was a bolt of lighting and clap of thunder, Donatello woke up. He went move his arm, but pain went shooting down his arm. He groaned as he brought his right arm to his left shoulder, he could feel blood. Donnie went to move again, but he left like his head was going to rip open. Donnie tried to force himself up onto his three good limbs, but he collapsed onto his side. He looked around for his bō staff to help bring to his feet. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his own hand in front of his face. Blindly he moved his hand around, he grunted in pain as his splintered piece of his bō jabbed his finger. He tried to move again, but finally stopped, letting out a sighed he went to reach to his T-Phone. His hand touched the back of his phone, but there was nothing to it anymore, it was broken beyond use.

Donnie was finally able to bring himself to his feet. Donnie finally made his way to the edge of the building, he realized it was April's apartment building. He made his was to fire escape to get to April's window, he was in no condition to get home on his own. As the ledge a flash of lighting blinded him and he fell onto April's balcony.

The thunder woke April up, she saw something fall past her window, she raced over to the window. She opened up the window and looked out to see Donnie's crumpled body. "Donnie!" she yelled out climbing out the window and jumped down to the balcony. She pulled Donnie into her arms. "Donnie?" she said, his breathing was weak. April grabbed her own T-Phone to call Leo, but the phone would not even connect. She tried Raph next, but it was the same thing. Last she tried Mikey's phone, his rang but was never picked up. April awkwardly pulled Donnie into her room.

April used an old night shirt to wrap Donnie's wound on his shoulder. Just as she tied it off the cloth Donnie opened his eyes

"Hey Donnie," she said.

"A-April," he stammered, "w-where am I?"

"My room, I know it was bad idea, but it was raining and cold, and I did not want to see you sick. I knew I could not take down to the sewer this was the only place I could take you." April said.

"Did you call my brothers or sensei?" he asked.

"I tried, Leo and Raph's phones did not even ring and Mikey's phone range but he never picked it up."

Donnie just nodded, "We need to get to the lair." Donnie said.

April helped Donnie down to the lair. It was painful climbing down with his injured shoulder, but he made it down. When they finally got to the lair April helped him down. "Sensei," she called, "I found Donnie."

Splinter came rushing over, April released Donnie to his father's grip.

"Donatello," he said gently, "do you remember anything?"

"No," he moaned, as Splinter helped him to his bed. Splinter told him that Leonardo was home, but his other two brothers we missing.

The rain was lashing against the building, but Raphael could feel the rain through the shattered window. Raph woke up, he shifted he was sitting straight up his hands were tied together roughly with a rope above his head, held in place with his own sai. He used all his strength to dislodge his sai from the wall, only to find he hardly had any strength. Frustrated Raph began to violently pull at his bindings, but he stopped when he felt as if he head was going to split open. After a few more minutes of struggling he finally forced the sai from the wall. Raph rubbed at his wrists, he looked at his knuckles, his skin was raw and stained with blood. His right arm was sore and he could feel glass in his cuts. Raph looked around the abandoned warehouse, he could not find his brothers. Raph searched for his T-Phone to call his brothers, but this screen was cracked and the phone was dead.

Raph finally found enough strength to get up. He walked over to the door and opened it. He walked out into the pouring rain, it was nearing sunrise. He had to get out and down into the sewers before he was noticed. Raph had a hard time lifting the manhole cover since he used all his strength to pull his arms down from the wall. Raph was annoyed this is injured arm was giving him a hard time.

"Anyone know what the shell is going on?" Raph grumbled as he walked down the stair.

"Raphael," Splinter said meeting his son at the liar entrance.

"What the shell is going on?" Raph repeated, "I wake up tied up in a warehouse, on the east side."

"Do you know how you get there my son?" Splinter asked leading Raph the couch.

"If I did-ow!" Raph started but stopped when Splinter began to pull the glass from Raph's arms. Raph complained the entire time. Splinter wrapped up Raph's arms, placing a splint on his right arm.

"Is that Raph I hear?" April said walking out of Leo's room.

"Hey April," Raph said casually.

"Where are the others?" Raph asked.

"Leo and Donnie are in their rooms. Leo is still out of it, but Donnie is awake," April reported.

"And Mikey?" Raph asked

"Don't know he won't pick up his phone," She said.

"Let me try, I just need your phone mine is sort of dead."

"Sure," April said as handed over the phone.

The phone rang, "Sup!" Mikey's voice, then there was a pause.

"Mikey?"

"hahaha! Got ya! I am not here right now catch me later!"

"I hate his voice mail!" Raph snapped, throwing April's phone across the lair.

Leo groaned as he woke up. "Easy my son," Splinter said.

"The others, are they back?" Leo asked panicked.

"Donatello and Raphael came back," Splinter said.

"What about Mikey?"

"When Raphael came home it was almost sun up, Michelangelo must have found shelter for the day," Splinter said with mock certainty.

"Yeah," Leo said, with uncertainty.

There was a knock at the door It was Donnie and Raph. "Good to see you awake Sleeping Beauty," Raph said with a smile.

Leo just glared at Raph. "We need to figure out what happened, we need to find Mikey."

"We don't even know if he is missing yet," Donnie said trying to be optimistic.

"He did not pick up when I called," Raph said.

"Then let's try again," Leo said.

"Here you try," Donnie said tossing him April's phone.

"Sup!" Mikey's voice came over the voicemail Leo went to speak, but the message continued, "hahaha! Got ya! I am not here right now catch me later!"

"Mikey! Pick up!" Leo yelled into the phone, "this is not funny!"

There was a long pause before Splinter spoke, "My sons, what do you remember before waking up?"

Leo sat there blinking, "We were fighting the Foot, near the building I was on," Leo said.

"Then how did me and Donnie here get to out spots?" Raph asked.

"That's what we need to figure out," Leo said.

"You guys work on that I need to make new T-Phones. We are lucky we still have April's," Donnie said glaring at Raph.

"Mikey is the one with the stupid voicemail," Raph huffed.

Leo sat on the couch waiting for Raph and Donnie went out looking for Mikey. Splinter had given them strict instructions to stay to the shadows and avoid all fights, since both of them were injured. Finding Michelangelo was the number one priority. Leo kept staring the new T-Phone in his hand waiting for an update from Raph and Donnie, but he never got one. Instead Donnie and Raph through the door, their heads hung low.

"No Mikey?" Leo sighed.

"We did find this," Raph said brining one of Mikey's nunchaku out from behind his back. It had some blood on it.

Donnie took it from Raph's hand, "I am going to run a scan on the blood, see if it's Mikey's."

Raph sat down next to Leo, "Space Heroes is still a stupid show," he said.

Donnie came back ten minutes later, "It's not Mikey's blood," he hesitated, "it's Leo's."

Leo brought his hand to the cut about his eye. "Mine?"

"Yeah," Donnie said, "even though we all were mutated with the same mutantnigen we still have slightly different DNA. Remember I recorded it once?"

Leo nodded, "You sure it's mine?"

"Positive." Donnie said.

Leo sighed. "What do you think that means?" he said.

This time it was Donnie's turn to sigh, "I wish I knew."

The next day the silence of the lair set in. No one realized how much noise that one orange clad turtle could make. The silence was hard to take, Leo had the TV up louder and Donnie was in his lab with almost everything on. Raph was in his room with music blaring, he hated the song that was on, but he did not care. Splinter was in his room meditation, wishing for silence, so he could concentrate on connecting with Michelangelo.

Hours later Raph dragged Donnie from his lab by the back of his shell, "let's go find Mikey."

"Okay! Okay! I can walk on my own ya know! And watch out for my shoulder!" Donnie snapped as Raph let him go.

"Be safe guys," Leo said, looking at his brothers leave. He sighed. He was the leader, her should be out there with them, not stuck in the lair.

Leo was trying to force himself to stay awake, but it was almost one in the morning and he had not heard for any of his brothers. He tried calling Mikey all night. He was getting sick of hearing the voice mail, to the point where after five rings he would just hang up. He could not take hearing his brother's cheerful voice, it was too painful.

Sleep finally overtook Leo and at three in the morning he found himself being gently shaken awake by Raph of all turtles. "We found half of one of his nunchaku on the roof top of April's apartment building," Raph said, Leo could hear the pain in his brother's voice.

"Only half?" Leo said stifling a yawn.

"Yeah, there is some blood on it too."

"Mikey's?" Leo was desperate to fine some clue as to where Mikey was or could have been.

"Donnie's checking now."

"I tried calling his T-Phone again, still rings and goes to voicemail," Leo sighed.

"I hate that voicemail message," Raph mumbled.

Donnie entered the room. Leo and Raph turned around, waiting to hear. Donnie sighed and hung his head. "It's my blood," he said finally.

"I am seeing a trend here," Raph sighed, "I am guessing we will find the other half of his nunchaku with my blood in the warehouse."

"Sounds about right," Donnie said slowly.

"This makes no sense," Leo said.
