The Voided Heart - Sub!Leonardo X Reader

Turmoil

Leo sparred with Master Splinter in the dojo with wooden swords as the others watched. (Y/N) watched as Leo's muscles tense with every block and swing he does. She caught herself in a daze and she started breathing heavily. Raph noticed and smirked at her, and she looked back after shaking her head. (Y/N) was told about what happened while she was away. They met a new mutant ally called the Noxious Avenger, the Mighty Mutanimals had the same parasite she had but stronger, and they met Mondo Gecko.

When Leo sat in front of Master Splinter, (Y/N) held her head with a groan, making everyone else immediately turn towards her. To her it felt like her brain had an unknown heartbeat, and the headache got worse by the second.
Then HE appeared in her vision again for a split second. A flash sparked and she heard a loud whisper, loud enough to muffle the concerned turtles. They escorted her to the living room and sat her down on the couch.

"(Y/N), what's going on?! Talk to us." Donnie said softly with a hand on her shoulder. The whispers in her head stopped, and the headache faded ever so slowly.

"...Ugh, I need to meditate..." She grumbled, then got up and headed to the dojo. The others watched in concern, then looked at each other. Leo emerged from the dojo and watched as (Y/N) paced to the other direction. He frowned, looking back at his brothers.

(Y/N) entered the pleasant room with patterned carpet laid on the ground and weapons on the walls, along with scrolls and art. There, she met Master Splinter sitting on his legs in front of the tall Japanese black pine tree.
"Here to meditate again?" He asked with a kind smile.

"Yeah, I-I know it's the second time today, and I'm sorry if I'm bothering you..."

"You're not bothering me at all, (Y/N). You should not be sorry about taking good care of yourself." He replied.

She nodded with a smile and sat cross-legged in front of him. Her eyes closed, the smile faded, and her chest gently rose and fell with each steady breath. Splinter decided to join in meditating. The silence gave her the calming image of stars in the vast ocean of space, with beautiful tints of blue and violet swirling around the still air. She started to believe that he is finally out of her head, until the sparkles in the air flowed into the form of him. Once again, flashes swiftly went through her eyes, and his inaudible whisper started to grow steady. By each flash, she grunted and flinched.

"WHERE...
WHERE ARE YOU...
WHERE ARE YOU, (Y/N)...
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!"

She shot her eyes open, hyperventilating and cold sweat on her forehead. Splinter had a hand on her shoulder and he stared with frightened eyes.
"What troubles you, my child?" He asked.

"I... I saw him, Splinter. I saw Hajimari, a-again." She was able to say, clasping her hands together.

"Again? So you haven't told us before?" He asked in a slightly serious tone.

"All those times, I thought it was just a connection with him that I should get over, but... I feel like it's more than that." (Y/N) said.

"You must discuss this among all of us." He replied, then got up, along with her. "You could have told us earlier, you know we care about you."

"After all you guys did to help me... you guys are like the family I once had." She mumbled.
When she went into the living room, everyone turned to her, not leaving their positions except Leo, who went up to (Y/N).

"What happened?" He desperately asked. She didn't answer and looked at the ground, then Leo lead (Y/N) to the couch and sat her down, earning everyone's attention. Even Mikey turned the TV off. "Talk to us."

FLASH! "TELL ME."

She blinked roughly and shook her head. "...Hajimari has been messing with my head lately. He's been in flashes of light, interrupting whatever I do at moments. I would hear mumbles and whispers from him that I used to not understand, until a moment ago. He told me to tell him where I am..."
