    Summary

    There was just so much damage.

    Claw marks running down his plastron, a chip in his shell. His head was bruised badly but Donnie couldn't check for a concussion in this state, and there was a ring of marks around his neck that Donnie had patched up quick before they left April's. He was a mess of broken skin and bones and Donnie had never dealt with so much damage before. He didn't even know where to start.

    A moment in the truck, as they're on the way to the farmhouse.

    Summary

    "His brother’s there, witness to his selfish act, to his crime; witness to his head now poised over that steady rhythm, a hand grasping on for dear life.

    Thump, thump, thump, sings the heart. It brings a small, shaky smile to Leo’s face – one that pulls at muscles long forgotten. He’s surprised they even know how to work after all this time.

    Donnie, however, doesn’t seem to share his sense of elation. His eyes are wide, incredulous and disbelieving. A tremor goes up and down his hands, visible even this far away as an accusing finger locks on target.

    ‘What did you do?'"


    Actions have consequences, and now Leonardo's paying the price. All he had ever wanted was for the pain to stop - for things to return to normal. Now that it has, he's about to realize just how much he has yet to learn.

    Or: maybe messing around with your dead father's scrolls isn't such a good idea. It is, in fact, a Very Bad Idea.

    Summary

    Sometimes, people stray and become lost in the darkness, become lost in the suffering, plough even further into the pain when they think they're on the right path- only to find themselves even deeper into the tenebrous despair and become blind with anguish and grief, robbed of everything, crumbling and breaking until there is nothing left of them and they are beyond redemption.

    Sadly, Leo is one of them.

    Summary

    It hadn’t gone so poorly at first. They were able to get into the building fine, just a small group of 8 including Leo. Donatello had gone over what they would need to do a thousand times. Leo knew all of the structural beams immediately. They were able to set the charges and exfiltrate without any suspicion. They even got so far as to detonate the charges and destroy the portal.

    However, something unexpected happened.

    Summary

    The mirror doesn't recognize him. Or maybe he doesn't recognize what's in the mirror. Leonardo-shaped. Leonardo-colored. Leonardo-sized. But not Leonardo.
