Summary
Leo had always known, somewhere deep in his bones, that his family attracted trouble. Not just the normal kind that came with being mutant ninja turtles in New York City. Something deeper. Something inevitable. It was clear that something kept drawing catastrophe to them, like moths to flame. His time in Japan only confirmed what he had already suspected...

Summary
Leo woke slowly, the drugs in his system feeling thick and heavy, taking twice the effort to open his eyes. He blinked at the harsh lights above his head, searing into his retinas. So that’s what woke him up. No confusion, no disorientation. Leo hadn’t experienced that in months. He knew exactly where he was...

Summary
Leo jerked against the restraints as the technicians approached, training taking over before conscious thought. Steel bit into his wrists but he couldn't stop fighting. The first touch of ink against skin made him jerk violently. Made something in his chest crack open. Couldn't face what was coming. "Subject requires permanent marking for inventory purposes."

Summary
Time had lost meaning in the endless tests. Day in and day out. Some worse than others. Each breath tasted of antiseptic and copper. The white coats never met his eyes as they collected their samples - muscle, bone marrow, spinal fluid. Each extraction measured and noted with clinical detachment. Blood slicked the table beneath him, warm against cold steel. Leo’s throat was raw. He had promised himself he wouldn’t scream. He’d lied.

Summary
Bishop's hands trembled as he studied the latest reattachment trial data. Critical data, considering how his own clone bodies degraded - nerve pathways dying off piece by piece, forcing him to transfer consciousness before total system failure. Another migraine pulse threatened at the edges of his vision. This body was failing. The episodes were getting worse. This body was failing faster than the last – they all did, each transfer burning through clone tissue like paper. But he was getting closer. He could only hope that this mutant held the key.

Summary
Leo couldn't remember what his brothers' voices sounded like. The thought hit him with sudden, devastating clarity, setting his heart racing against the sensors stuck to his chest. The tank's perfect silence had stolen even his memories of sound, replaced them with an endless void that pressed in like a physical weight. What if he forgot everything?

Summary
The seizures started three days ago. Leo lay strapped to the examination table, muscles trembling with the memory of the last one. But that was the least of his worries. Because Bishop's latest compound was doing something to his brain. He was starting to lose time between episodes. Starting to forget things. Little things at first. What he'd eaten last. When they'd last run tests. Then bigger things. Until this morning, for a moment, he couldn't remember if Mikey's eyes were blue or brown.

Summary
The drugs made time stretch strangely, made everything feel slightly unreal. Made his usual iron control feel fragile, paper-thin. So when Leo's vision started to blur, he didn’t think anything of it. Not at first. The edges of the cell seemed softer somehow, less defined. He blinked hard, trying to clear his vision, fighting down the first tendril of unease. Then the blurring got worse.

Summary
The tube burned. Not just physically - though God, it did burn, scraping his throat raw with every mechanically forced breath. But deeper. A violation that reached past flesh and into something primal. Leo's chest heaved, trying to establish its own rhythm. Fighting against the machine that forced air into his lungs with merciless precision. His body wanted quick, shallow breaths. Panic breathing. But the ventilator didn't care what his body wanted.

Summary
"Your temperature's elevated again." Bishop's fingers traced the line of Leo's jaw, latex catching against skin, "Though that could be from fighting the sedatives." Leo kept his expression neutral even as his stomach churned at the touch. At the way Bishop's hands mapped his face with terrible gentleness. He understood pain. Somehow, this was worse.

Summary
The muscle damage in Leo's shoulder had been getting worse for weeks. What started as tremors had become violent spasms, the traumatized tissue seizing randomly. He couldn't maintain a proper grip anymore. Couldn't trust his own arm to respond when he needed it. Until Bishop noticed how it was affecting his response trials.

Summary
They didn't even bother using his name. He'd stopped counting the days since they first strapped him to a table like this. Since they first began taking him apart piece by piece to see how he worked. But this lab was different. He watched them prep the surgical tools, laying out blades and clamps and bone saws with terrible precision. Watched them marking those careful lines up his arms. Understanding crashed through him like a physical blow. No. They wouldn’t. Not this.

Summary
Raphael couldn't focus on anything but the growing dread as they approached that steel door. Months of searching had led here. To this sterile hallway with its too-bright lights and antiseptic smell that burned his nostrils. The door opened with a soft hiss that felt like a death knell. Two-way glass, his mind supplied distantly. The kind used to observe test subjects. The sound of wheels on tile made his head snap up. Leo.

Summary
The first few days weren't that big of a deal. Leo sometimes went off on his own. Solo patrols, training runs, meditation retreats. They were used to it - used to their big brother needing space, needing time to center himself. The second night, Don tracked Leo's signal to an alley in the warehouse district. The cell was cracked but intact, lying in a puddle like it had been dropped. No blood. No signs of struggle. That should have been comforting. Somehow, it wasn't.

Summary
The smell hit Raph first. Not just antiseptic this time - something deeper. Something wrong. His hands tightened on his sai as they crept through Bishop's facility, every sense straining for movement. For danger. For Leo. Five months of searching. Of too many false leads, too many empty facilities, too many moments of hoping this time, this place would be the one. Please let this be the one.

Summary
Disinfectant. The smell hit first, familiar as breathing now. Leo's heart slammed against his plastron before his eyes even opened, muscle memory preparing for cold steel and latex hands. Leo kept his eyes tightly shut, heart rate already climbing as he tried to catalogue his surroundings without moving. The surface beneath him felt wrong - too soft where there should be steel or concrete. The air too warm, holding scents that couldn't be real. His breath left his lungs as realization hit. Home.

Summary
Raph hadn't slept. None of them had, really. But he was the only one still here when Leo's eyes opened again. The infirmary lights were dimmed. Don's idea, after that first time. After seeing how thel brightness had made Leo's whole body flinch. Raph knew the second Leo woke up. His brother's breathing changed first. Too careful, too measured. Like he'd forgotten how to just breathe. "Still here, Fearless."

Summary
Don's hands didn't shake as he tightened the restraint across Leo's plastron. It was necessary - they both knew it was necessary - but the way Leo's muscles coiled beneath his touch made his chest ache. The harsh infirmary lights caught every surgical line, every deliberate mark they'd left on his brother's skin. Too precise. Too measured. Clinical lines that spoke of calculated cruelty. Leo held himself rigid under Don's examination, every fiber screaming fight or flight. But he stayed still through sheer force of will. Still trying to be their fearless leader, even now.

Summary
Raph found himself counting Leo's breaths again. It was stupid. Pathetic. His brother was right there, sleeping in his own room, safe behind walls reinforced with every security measure Don could think of. But here Raph was. 3 AM. Sitting in the hallway outside Leo's door like some kind of creep. Listening to his brother breathe.

Summary
Three AM. Leo stood in the darkened dojo, watching shadows play across familiar walls. He'd waited until he was certain everyone else was asleep. Until the lair had fallen completely silent. Don had cleared him for light training yesterday. This was Leo's first time training in the dojo since coming home. The first stance felt like betrayal. Felt wrong.
