    Summary

    They did it! They won, krang was no more. They were heroes, the world was safe again.

    So why did Leo fell so empty inside?

    Why did he wake up in a cold sweat every night, reliving the events of that day, of when he was trapped away inside an alternate dimension with the devil?

    And why oh why couldn't he talk about it?

    Why did he always have a grin on his face and a joke on his tongue every time his family tried to bring it up?

    Every time they were together Leo used his quick-whitted humor to assure them he was ok, he was alright, he was righter than rain.

    So why didn't he believe his own words?

    . . .

    Why did it feel like he was dying on the inside?

    -or-

    Leo thought he was going to die when he trapped himself away in the prison dimension with the monstrous Krang Prime, but he was pulled out of Mikey's portal to be brought home and heal with the rest of his family.

    Or he was supposed to heal with them.

    Why couldn't he just open up for once?

    Why did he have to 'cope' with a smile on his face and a joke on his tongue?

    Why did the thought of ending it all seem like a better option - a solution - to . . . well, everything?

    Summary

    Bad Things Happen Bingo prompt: Hurts to Breathe

    It started out as a slight irritation in his chest. Nothing some tea and rest won't fix. Splinter thought to himself as he prepared a fresh pot of tea.

    The irritation in his lungs developed into a wheezing cough over the next several weeks, lingering in his system far longer than expected, much to the old rat’s consternation. The fits of harsh, wet coughs that overtook him at times had drawn the worry of his youngest, who’d come to visit him in the sewers. His boys were all adults now and had moved out for school and work, building the lives for themselves that Splinter had always dreamt they would.

    “Dad, that cough sounds really bad. Didn't you have that same cough when I was here two weeks ago too? You should go to the clinic at the Hidden City, I could take you tomorrow morning. Or at least have Leo check you over, he is going to school for this, ya know. He'd be over in an instant if you asked, Dad.”

    He gave Orange a pat on his hand to help reassure his boy. “That won't be necessary, my son. I will stop by the clinic if it doesn't clear up.”

    Summary

    “Who are you?” Leo asks stupidly.

    “Gio,” the probably imaginary turtle replies.

    Leo’s mouth runs off before he can stop it. “Just Gio? Like Cher?”

    God, he thinks. That was stupid, Leo. Not the time or place, Leo. You’re in the prison dimension. You’re dying here and you can’t even cut the jokes now? Raph was so right about you.

    But the imaginary turtle surprises him by smiling slightly, the corners of his mouth pulling just barely upwards in a way that somehow completely transforms him. Not the time or place for jokes or smiling at them but here they are. Like company.


    Or: a long-lost brother takes the long way home.
