"Leo, I don't see how we're supposed to find Leatherhead in a city this big." Raph commented, looking around from their spot on a rooftop. "We'll be up all night and then some."

"Leatherhead is our friend. I don't know about you guys but I don't care how long it takes. We will find him." Mikey replied. He walked forward until he stood at his brother's side. "Maybe we should split up."

Leo nodded. "Good idea, Mikey. You and Raph take the east side. Donnie and I will take the west." Receiving nods of acknowledgment, Leo continued. "This is probably one of the most dangerous cities in the country so stay safe and stay alert. Move out."

Raph jumped down, landing silently on the ground below. He turned to his younger brother and made a motion for him to follow. Mikey, not as gracefully, landed with a thud. "Owww."

"Shh! Mikey!"

"Sorry!" Mikey gave an apologetic grin before gripping his nunchucks and moving silently along Raph through the alley. His eyes narrowed as he spotted a few shady-looking men corner a woman. Mikey turned to Raph only to realize that the other turtle had vanished and was making a beeline for the thugs.

The woman pressed her back up against the wall. "Please, don't hurt me!" She pleaded, putting her hands up in defense. "I'll give you my money just please don't hurt me." Her eyes widened as the men moved closer. The tallest of the three only chuckled. "Girly, we want a lot more than just your money." He gave a sly smile and the rest of his followers laughed alongside him. The woman screamed and slumped to the ground in fear.

Raph gave a loud battle cry and he threw himself at one of the guys. He delivered several quick jabs and the man went down. This, of course, caught the attention of the other two. One of them dared to charge at Raph who gave a swift sweep of his foot, successfully knocking the man to the ground. Raph turned to the last man who ran as fast as he could the minute his eyes locked on Raph's.

Mikey gave a light pat on Raph's shell as he came up. "Good job there Raph, next time how about you save one for me, okay?" Mikey turned to the woman and held his hand out to help her up.

The woman slowly reached for it and gasped once she felt the cold reptilian skin. She stood up and rapidly blinked her eyes, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. "Y-you're t-turtles?!" She gaped. Mikey gave her a big smile. "H-h-ahhhh!" The woman screamed once more as she ran out of the alley as fast as her legs could carry her.

"You're welcome!" Raph shouted angrily after her. "Unbelievable."

"Anything Donnie?"

Donnie narrowed his eyes as he searched the streets before him. "Nothing yet." Donnie gave a small jump as something buzzed. He pulled out his shell-phone to see that April was calling. "April, hi."

"Hey Don! Just calling to see if you guys found Leatherhead yet."

Donnie shook his head and then mentally slapped himself. Right. April can't see him. "Um, no actually we haven't found him yet."

"Maybe I should come help? We'll find him faster the more people we have looking."

"I don't know, April. This city is supposed to be even more dangerous then the one back home."

Donnie could practically feel the eye-roll April was probably giving him. "I'm not completely helpless you know, Donnie. Splinter has been teaching me for a while now."

Donnie knew better than to argue. "Alright. But just be careful April. Text me when you get here."

"Yes, mom."

It was Donnie's turn to roll his eyes as he hung up. He turned to Leo. "April's coming. Even though I think she's better off staying at home, well, there's really no use in arguing with her once she makes a decision."

Leo did his best to hide the smirk creeping onto his face. "Yeah I know. Come on, with any luck we'll find Leatherhead before she gets here."

~~~

The wind whipped harshly against Leatherhead's face as he made his way to the meeting place. His master, Shredder was finally in Gotham. He would be pleased to know that the boy was in Leatherhead's possession.

"What is wrong with you?!" Shredder growled, upon Leatherhead entering and placing the unconscious child on the floor.

Maybe not.

Leatherhead bowed. "Master Shredder, you told me to-"

"I told you to get rid of him! Not bring him to me!" Shredder took a menacing step forward. "You will pay for disobeying your master."

"But-but maybe he could prove to be useful! You said this is where the Batman lives!" Leatherhead sputtered as Shredder drew closer. "Maybe the boy knows something! We can take out the Batman for good and Gotham will be ours!"

Shredder stopped and Leatherhead breathed a sigh of relief. "Hm. Perhaps you are not as useless as I had originally thought. Tie the boy up. Let me know when he wakes."

Leatherhead bowed. "Yes, Master Shredder."
