Mission Failed ~ Leonardo x Reader

Chapter Twenty

[Your POV]

After Leo's surgery was a success, Veronica needed to lay down. I went into Casey's bedroom, where she was napping. I smiled when I saw Donnie spooning her, arms around her waist. They were both fast asleep. I gently closed the door and strolled into the master bedroom.

Leo was unconscious, sleeping soundly. I sat next to him, intertwining our fingers and smiling at him. He couldn't see me, but I was so happy he was safe now. Veronica did amazing, and the tracker was removed from his system. Although he lost a lot of blood, Raph was willing to donate his for his brother.

"You done?" Speak of the devil. I flinched and jerked my hand back into my lap. I looked over to see Raph leaning on the door frame.

"You feeling better?" I asked.

"Well I almost passed out after Veronica jabbed that needle in me and I'm still nauseous, but other then that, I am just dandy." Raph said through gritted teeth. I smiled and got up, hugging Raph. His eyes widened and he seemed confused.

"Thank you, for what you did for Leo." I said.

"I-I don't really deserve a thank you." Raph said, patting my back. "He's my brother after all." I smiled and the two of us made our way to the living room, where everyone else was. Mikey's eyes were wide.

"Is Leo awake yet?" He asked hopefully.

I shook my head. "No but he's doing okay. His pulse is normal and he seems to be at peace, at least for now."

"Good, because we may have to move again." Casey said.

"Wait, already?"

"Although Veronica was able to remove the liquidized tracker and Donnie destroyed it, there's no telling if Tigerclaw knows of our current location or not." Blake explained. "Splinter was able to distract our enemies, but there's a possibility that one of them was stalking our location. With the correct resources, we could be found within the day."

"But we can't move Leo, he's still recovering!" I said. "If we force him, he could get hurt."

"They're right, Blake." Zion said. "Veronica just sliced him open a couple hours ago, there's no way he's gonna be able to run rooftop to rooftop."

"Well then...we'll have to keep watch and find a place to hide." Blake said, rubbing his chin in thought, itching his ears. "Casey, is there anyone in this building that we could trust?"

"Oh, just my abuelita a couple doors down." Casey responded.

"Aburrito?" Mikey asked.

"No, 'abuelita'." Casey corrected.

"Like- you know- you're grandma." April said.

"What's a grandma?" Mikey asked.

"Oh Mikey..." Zion mumbled.

"Do you guys wanna meet her?" Casey asked. Mikey and Raph looked at each other.

"Do you think she'd be bothered by...?" Raph pointed at themselves, then side-eyed Blake and his mutations.

"Don't worry, she's blind." Casey said nonchalantly. "Come on, let's go!"

"Hold on, I'll wake Donnie." Raph said, heading into Casey's room. A couple seconds later, Donnie was up and groggily walking out of the room.

"I'll keep an eye on Leo and Veronica while they sleep." Donnie said with a nod, leaning on his staff.

"Keep an eye out for Tigerclaw too, don't just watch your girlfriend sleep." April teased.
