{TMNT 2003 Fanfic} - Dream

( WARNING : This is not Turtle x Turtle related at all, this is purely just some family scenarios with no relationships at all what’s so ever. Just regular day in the life turtle stuff)

Leo watched in horror as Kari's sword was up to his neck as he sat on his knees. Blood fell down his forehead as he watched his brothers fight the Kari bots in front of him and he couldn't even help them. He sent them here in order to defeat Shredder once and for all like they had planned. This time he was going to be defeated for good, even against his brothers wishes of doing this another day. He wanted to do this now to get it over with, it was his revenge, his pay back against him for hurting his family over the years. He should have listened to his brothers when they said not to go, he really should have as soon as their plan started to fail. He could taste the defeat as soon as they walked in.

Mikey went down first, screaming bloody murder as 5 swords went through his shell and out the front. He was trying to ddge as best he could out of the way as he smashed their heads one by one. But even his quick moves and reflexes couldn't save him from the robots attacking. Mikey gazed around at his brothers yelling his name, blood dripped from his mouth as his eyes landed on Leo to the side of him across the room. He smiled one last time at him, coughing out a puddle of blood in front of him before his eyes rolled in to the back of his head as he fell forward. He didn't even move when the Kari bots removed the swords from his body and plunged them in to his chest yet again. To make him stay dead for good,

"Donnie cover my right!" Raph yelled over to his brother as he pulled his sai out from the bots chest. He was being blinded with rage as he fought, he couldn't save his brother so he had to make sure Donnie would make it out okay. Attacking another one to the side of him that cut in to his arm deeply. Donnie did as he was told and covered his hot headed brothers right. Knocking away the swords that tried to kill them both. As Raph finished off the bots next to him he turned around and knocked away one that was heading for his brother. Hearing he blood curdling scream as he turned his head. A sword went through his younger brother's stomach through the back side of his shell. Raph yelled at the top of his lungs and hit the bot away, dropping his brother to the floor with a thud as he groaned in pain.

Leo screamed out to them but it was almost like they couldn't hear them at all. He just watched and stared in horror at them fighting with out him. Choking back on a sob as he watched them fight in pain. Rage blinded one and hopelessness blinded the other. Donnie tried to stand up and watched his older brother fight to keep the bots away from the both of them. Blocking another sword from hitting him as best he could. Raph caught Donnie from falling as he stabbed the nearest bot to them. His brother chuckled softly as Raph held on to him tight,

"Let me go Raph, I'm slowing you down and you know it....you can't continue fighting like this with dead weight"

"I'm not doing that Don! Don't ever fucking say that. We are going to make it!" Raph yelled as he hit another bot in the chest and tore up its wires. Making it explode around the others so they could have time to get away. Donnie was only getting weaker and weaker as Raph held him, losing blood by the second from how deep his wound was. The hot headed brother set him down up against the wall and got ready to fight. Slashing away the metal arrows that shot at him. He lunged forward and grabbed a bot by the head, destroying it as best he could with his arm now injured. But what he didn't realize was some of the bots had gotten around his fighting area. Once he heard the scream soon silenced he knew he had failed his other younger brother too. Raph started to cry, one of the moments Leo never usually seen from his younger brother. He choked back on a sob as he lunged forward screaming in rage, only to get his arm grabbed by the shredder. The diabolical laugh was heard through out the area as the shredder bent Raph's arm like a plastic pipe. Hearing the loud pop from the broken bones in his body shattering from his touch. Shredder walked forward towards Leonardo as he sat there on the floor. Eyes red and blurry as he tried to get out of her grasp, sobbing for them to leave his brother alone like he had been doing the whole time. He couldn't watch this anymore, all of his family gone right in front of him.

"Finally....you are all dealt with....say bye to your brother you stupid reptile" The shredder shouted as he held Raphael in his grasp. Hearing his brother's cries made him weak and sick to his stomach. Leo reached out for him as he screamed his name. But he was to late, his claw came through Raph's neck as he reached out toward him in return. His body lay still and motion less on the floor in front of him with a pool of blood surrounding him. Kari let go of Leonardo and let him fall forward. Cradling his brother's lifeless body in his arms, crying out in pain, hatred and defeat as he held him tighter and tighter. Crying out for his brother's crying out for his sensi, not believing anything he was seeing.

"Kill me......KILL ME DAMN IT.....please....please I-I....I can't d-do this.....I c-can't live with out t-them....m-my brothers a-are all I have e-ever had!"

"I wish this would not end this way Leonardo.....as you wish my old friend....I am sorry" with on quick swipe everything was gone.

----------------------------

Leonardo gasped as he sat up in his bed, tears streamed down his face as he sat there. Sweat rolled down his forehead and neck. He held his hands over his eyes as he sat there in silence, trying to calm himself down somewhat from his panic rising with in him. He gazed over to the side of his bed, his eyes still had a blur to them but he could make out that it was 2 in the morning almost. Leo closed his eyes as he pictured what had happened with in his dream over and over again. He has had nightmares before but this was one of the worst ones, especially involving his brothers. That's right his brothers!

The blue masked turtle slipped out of his bed quickly and opened up his door as silently as he could. Making his way down the hall where his brothers rooms were. His panic never left his body as he traveled down towards them. A mix of thought and emotion filled his head as he walked, what if it wasn't a dream. What if they were gone like what happened, Leo shook his head as he took a deep breath. Stopping by Mikey's door first that was shut. He sighed as he carefully opened up the door and gazed in. His little brother was asleep on his bed, his teddy bear in one hand and the corner of his blanket in his other as he laid sprawled out on top of his mattress. Clunk laid next to him curled up in to a ball. The sight made Leo smile softly, erasing worry some that he had but he still needed to check up on the others.

Leo shut his door almost all the way, leaving a small crack as he checked on the opposite side to the smartest of the group. Donnie's door was all the way opened from what Leo could tell. The blue masked turtle gazed in and found him on his stomach with no blanket on. His head was buried in to his pillow, Leo slowly walked in to his younger brothers room and grabbed his blanket at the end of the bed. Donnie must have came from the lab after working all night since he didn't even get his blanket. Leo slowly laid Don's light purple blanket on top of him, tensing up when his brother moved and curled up on his side. Leo only shook his head as he let his breath go. Making his way out of his brother's room slowly so he wouldn't wake him. Now it was down to his hot headed brother's room. After seeing both his younger brothers safe and in bed he felt he didn't necessarily need to. But he wanted to check just to be sure any way,

The oldest brother finally made it down to Raphael's room, the door had the standing out "Keep Out" sign but he knew he would enter anyway. He entered slowly, not even hearing the light snoring his brother would usually do when he sleeps. Leo opened up his door all the way and found his brother way no where to be seen in his field of vision. That's when he started to panic slightly as he gazed around in his brother's room. Finding no trace of him but his weapons and biking gear were still there. Raph was never known for sleep walking either, that was usually Mikey on occasion which was a pain to deal with.

The oldest brother sighed as he ran his hand against the back of his neck as he quickly made his way down back the hallway and in to the main living space they had. He gazed around, the lab first since it was there but as he came back. He saw the red masked turtle laying down on the couch long ways. Watching old reruns of his wrestling show with his eyes getting heavy from lack of sleep. Leo smirked softly as he watched him from a far, thinking he could not see him for now. He loved it when the person Raph was wanting to win won the match. He watched as the corners of Raph's lips raised in to a smile. Since everyone was asleep he couldn't really be overly loud. But Leo could see him muttered yes a few times and what move he predicted they would do next. After a while Leo walked in to the room, watching his brother's green eyes follow him as he walked over. Raphael stretched as he moved his legs for Leo to sit down. Rubbing his eyes slightly to wake himself up some.

"What are you doing up Raph isn't it kinda late since we have training in the morning?" Leo asked softly to not alert anyone asleep in the lair. Raph shrugged softly as he moved the TV remote on to the arm of the couch.

"I don''t wanna hear it from you fearless, I could ask you the same thing......listen I ah....I heard you in yer room. You okay? Did your nightmare mess you up?" Raph asked in a soft and concerned voice that Leo and anyone barely heard anymore since he was little. Leo smiled softly as he watched Raph's expression. They both let the tough act go for once that they kept up daily. Leo's smile fell as he nodded his head, recalling everything that happened in his nightmare. But what surprised him was Raph's arm out wide, smirking as he signaled him to come over to him. They haven't really done anything like this in a long time. They stopped telling the others about nightmares they have had that have haunted their dreams. But when they were little they would always depend on each other to calm them down from the horrid dreams they would have. As much as Raph hated to admit it he loved when Leo would calm him down like his brothers when they were scared. Raph would always do the same for him if Leo had nightmares too in return as if it were a debt to pay.

Leo was hesitant at first but soon came over. Wrapping his arms tightly around Raph for support as he felt tears start to form in his eyes. The act took Raph by surprise but he soon wrapped his arms around his brother tightly in their embrace. He would never get used to his big brother's scared and sad face that he rarely got to see. They were almost like polar opposites but somethings evidently ran in the family when it came to wearing a mask and hiding true feelings. They both hid their emotions for the others on occasion even though from what it seemed like both of them could see past their own charades they played. Each of them knew the other's traits like the back of their hands at times, others they needed a written manual on how they acted.

"You wanna talk about it bro?If ya don't that's fine too I understand...." Raph asked softly as he rubbed his brother's back to calm him down. Raph wasn't really one to be loving like this so Leo was going to take every bit he could out of his brother. It warmed his heart to see him this way and wished he could see him more like this. He knew his brother was all ears at the moment and would listen to everything he said. But at the same time he felt like he didn't want to tell him of his horrid nightmare that bothered him. Not wanting to make this a bigger deal when he could just forget about it and never tell anyone.

"Everyone....e-everyone died.....I couldn't save y-you guys while you were fighting and you d-died right in front of me....just a few feet away...there was just so much blood and...i-it was all so horrible how you a-all"

"Hey calm down fearless we're alright and safe here in the lair, we haven't even left tonight or all day for that matter."

"Yeah we haven't left Leo" The two oldest turtles peaked over and found their two younger brother standing there in the hallway. They both weren't sure how long they had been standing there, but the jig was up for them and they couldn't deny it either. Donnie still had his tired look and Mikey held on to his blanket tightly as they stood there next to each other. Leo chuckled softly as they walked over to them sitting on to the couch. Raph moved a small bit more so the could fit in with the hug they shared. Making sure their older brother was actually okay instead of joking around. Which he never did about this kind of stuff to be honest.

"I thought you guys were asleep when I checked on you"

"Technically we were trying to, but we heard you and when you came in to our rooms to check up on us I figured Mikey did the same and faked being asleep...i wanted to make sure you were alright but I wasn't sure how too." Donnie replied along with Mikey nodding his head in agreement. Leo chuckled as he shook his head, feeling like he was selfish for acting this way in front of his brothers. He has seen all three of them, broken down, depressed in ways, and scared from a nightmare. But he was supposed to be their protector, the one to tell them it was alright. Not the other way around how it was at the moment.

"Whatever you dreamed is not real dude, we are right here and just fine....well Raphie doesn't look fine, still looks kinda ugly to me"

"Hey!"

"Guys we are having a moment come on" Donnie replied over both of them. Canceling out the smirk and the glare on both Raph and Mikey's faces. But the act only made their brother laugh slightly. Which resulted in them smiling, Mikey grabbed Donnie and Raph and pulled them closer to complete the hug once more. It seemed like they stayed like that for a couple of minutes before letting go.

"Everything is gonna be alright Leo okay. We are right here with you" Donnie said with a small yawn as he stared in to his older brother's blue eyes. Making Leo nod his head softly as he yawned in return, leaning his head back up against the couch.Raphael yawned slightly as he laid back and rested his head up against the arm of the couch. Leo's sleepy body followed after in the little space between him the the couch cushions. Donnie only rolled his eyes as he touched the button on the side that popped out the make shift bed that Casey slept on when he stayed over. But before he could even lay down all the way Mikey pounced on to Raph laying there. Knocking the wind out of him slightly as he laid there up against him and the brainiac. Raph couldn't help but smile as Mikey pulled the blanket he had closer toward him instead of sharing with the others. He shared a quick glance at Donnie as they heard Both their youngest and oldest brothers snores as they laid there. Donnie shrugged lightly as he shut his eyes and curled in to the back of Mikey to get more comfortable. Leaving the hot head basically trapped by his brothers in the middle area. But never the less he felt like he could sleep a little bit better knowing they were there by his side. Just like how Leo felt at the moment to know they were alright and safe.
