Finding Leatherhead

Roaming the city unseen was proving to be much more difficult in the day than at night. Leo perched himself in the shadows of an alley and motioned for his brothers to follow. Keeping close with Karai was beginning to pay off. Leo knew exactly where Shredder's last hideout was and how to get there. His eyes scanned the area for pedestrians before running into the dimly lit building.

Behind him, Raph and the others were cautiously following his lead. Once all inside, Leo motioned for them to fan out and see what they could find. Not a full minute later,

"Guys..?"

Leo, Raph and Mikey turned and headed in the direction of Donnie's voice. "What is it, Donnie?"

Donnie was holding a small vile filled with a bluish liquid. "I can't be certain. I need to run some chemical tests on it first." He carefully poured the contents of the vile into a small container and closed the lid. "I'll take it back home, you guys keep looking."

Leo shook his head. "I don't like you going alone. Even if it's only daylight, Shredder seems to be in the middle of one of his crazy plans and I won't risk you getting hurt. Mikey, you go with Donnie. Raph and I will stay here and see what else we can find. We'll meet up later." Donnie and Mikey both gave a curt nod before heading back out.

"Well, let's get cracking."

Leo nodded and the two brothers split up to search through the remains of the old hideout.

"Come on Don! Let me help!" Mikey whined, throwing himself down on his knees. "Pleeeeease?!" Receiving a shake of the head, Mikey continued. "Donnie! Donniiiiieeeee pleeeeaseeee???"

Donnie threw his hands into the air in frustration. "Alright, fine! Mikey, hold this." Donnie handed his little brother the container in which the liquid was held. "Don't. Drop. It."

Mikey nodded eagerly. "Yeah, yeah okay!" He held the container up close to his face and examined the contents. He moved his wrist around, swirling the liquid in small circles. "Hehe, it's like a little whirlpool." He smiled brightly.

Donnie rolled his eyes and began to prepare for the tests.

Raph found himself in front of a large computer. Pressing a small red button, the computer roared to life. Raph examined the map that now appeared on the screen. A small red dot could be seen moving across the map of a city. Narrowing his eyes, Raph could make out the name of the city at the bottom of the screen. "Leo!"

Leo was there in an instant. "What is it?"

Raph pointed a finger at the screen. "Gotham City. If what you said is true, I'm guessing that red dot is Leatherhead so that Shredder could keep an eye on where he is."

Leo nodded. "Good work, Raph. But why would Leatherhead be working with Shredder in the first place?"

"I don't know." Raph shrugged. "But I bet if we go to Gotham City, we'll find out."

Leonardo's the leader in blue, does anything it takes to get his ninjas through. Donatello is a fellow-

"Hello?" Leo answered, raising his phone to his head, ignoring a questioning look from Raph.

"Leo! It's Donnie! You and Raph need to get back here. There's something you need to know."

"On the way." Leo pressed 'end call' and turned to Raph. "Sounds like Donnie found something. Let's go!"

Raph smirked. "Okay Leo, now about that ringtone..."

Leo growled. "Later."

Donnie was looking more anxious than usual as Raph and Leo entered his lab. "Guys, I know why Leatherhead is working with Shredder." Leo gave him an encouraging nod. "Well I tested this substance and found that it actually has the capability to control the mind!"

Raph and Leo exchanged a terrified glance. "So, what you're saying is, whatever Shredder tells him to do.."

"He'll do it without a second thought." Donnie finished. "We need to find Leatherhead before Shredder makes him do something awful."

Raph smirked. "Well, I found out where Gotham City is. We go there. We find Leatherhead. We kick Shredder's ass."

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Mikey shouted.

Leo smiled. "Then let's go get our friend back."
