Red Vs. Blue (New Version)

Loyalty

RAPH
I walked into the lab and Alexis was gone. It was just Donnie hunched over his computer. He swiveled around when he heard me enter the room.
"Leo took her to his room. It's more comfortable than the table," he told me while he ate a pop tart.
I mumbled 'okay' and went to Leo's room where he sat with her. She was tucked into his bed looking adorable.
      Leo saw me  and told me to wait, before he kissed her hand. She looked over at me and her mouth curled into a small smile. God. She makes my heart stop when she looks at me. Leo nodded towards the main room and I followed him there after holding her gaze a few seconds more.
"So, Alex believes you two are together," he said matter of fact. "I can forgive that. What I can't forgive is you making out with her before we found out she has amnesia." I looked down at the floor and sighed.
"I'm sorry Leo," I struggled to say. "I got caught up in the moment and-"
He cut me off, "You kissed Alex. I mean- you know what she means to me. You acted like I wasn't even there, like I don't even exist! Like I haven't been romantically involved with her the last year.          
"You're right," I conceded.
"I can't trust you anymore. You understand." Leo was usually the serious one but he was even more serious than usual. He was hurt and he put his walls up and I betrayed his trust. "She believes she's with you now, but what about when she remembers me?"
He was right. Once she remembers how I hurt her and how Leo was always there for her, I'll be history.
"You can spend time with her, only because it will be stressful for her if you don't. But as soon as she's back to normal..."
He let the sentence hang in the air.
And then I time traveled.
      Leo was meditating in the dojo and Alexis was doing yoga in the main room in her little blue shorts. Fucking blue. I was in the kitchen pretending to read while I watched her in her down dog pose. Then the familiar opening to Rump Shaker started playing. Sigh Mikey.
     Alex got up, walked over to Mikey and started dancing with him. He was behind her facing her back while she shook her ass on him and danced to the music. She could be quite the tease.  Leo came storming in within moments, eyes wide with anger. I looked over at Donnie who was slack jawed, peering over his laptop at her. My hand instinctively went to my crotch to cover any stirrings. Mikey, who was normally just innocent and fun, had a look of lust in his eyes as he went to grip her hips.
    "MIKEY!" Leo barked. Mikey stopped dead in his tracks and his head shot over to Leo who was seething. Mikey's arms dropped and he stepped back from Alexis, who was now dancing her way over to Leo. She got extremely close to him and seductively danced. She danced and went down low, her eyes quickly grazing his crotch and then back up. She looked at me like that once. It hurt to see. She smirked at him.  The look on Leo's face was unreadable. He shook his head before grabbing her by her wrist and leading her to his bedroom.
    "Have fun, you two!" Donnie yelled before taking a sip from his juice box.
    "What are you talking about?" I growled, staring at Leo's, now shut, door.
    Donnie looked at me like 'are you serious?'           "This is a game they play." I shrugged, irritated. "She does what she can to piss him off and then they.... Ya know..."
    "They do it," Mikey said, collapsing on the couch, adjusting himself. "Leo's so lucky," he said dreamily.
    "How do you know?" I'm sure I was sneering.
    "He asked me to make a few things for him... some shackles... a spreader bar..."
    Okay. I knew what that was from porn. It's exactly what it sounded like. It spread her legs.... for him...
    "I'll say it again, Leo's so lucky." Mikey said shaking his head.
I walked towards the weight room like I was going to workout, but stopped and when Donnie and Mikey weren't looking I quietly went to Leo's door to listen. I knew it was a bad idea. It was only going to upset me. But I had to hear her. There's no way she enjoys herself more with him.
"Did I not tell you not to dance in front of my brothers?" I heard him ask, sternly.
"Yes."
    "Yes, WHAT?!" I heard her gasp. What was he doing to her?
"Yes, sensei." Of course he would ask her to call him that. Egomaniac. I shook my head.
"Why did you disobey me? Do you think it's funny?"
She was quiet for a minute.
    "Answer me," I heard a smack.
    "No, sensei."
    "I'm going to punish you for that."
Curiosity got the best of me and I cracked the door and peeked in. Alex was shackled, standing up, her arms above her head. He stood before her. She was stripped down to her bra and panties. God, I missed seeing her body.
"You're mine! Do you understand? You dance only for me. Tell me you understand!"
    "I understand," she said breathlessly.
    "How do you think I feel watching all my brothers want to fuck you? The way I do. They are so jealous of me right now." He was right about that. "I'm going to make you cum so hard you scream my name. I want everyone to hear that I'm the one fucking you. I'm the one making you cum. You. Are. Mine."
I saw him touching her... there... that used to be mine. "My good girl. Always wet for me."
    I couldn't handle it anymore.  I had to relieve myself. Even getting fucked by my stupid brother, she was so fucking hot. I imagined she was under me, moaning my name, trying to squirm from my embrace. I can see why Lameonardo liked tying her up.
      I went to the weight room and within 30 minutes I heard her. I could actually hear her screaming his name.
"Whatever you say, Sensei," I said bitterly. The memory pissed me off and it just slipped out.
Leo stopped dead in his tracks as he was leaving the room and spun around to face me. His eyes were wide with anger. He pointed a finger at me, "Because we're all on edge and stressed out, I will let that go. But say something like that to me again and see what happens."
"You can't order me around like you do with her," I said leaning towards him, meeting his gaze.
"I'm warning you, Raphael," Leo said taking an aggressive stance.
"You treat her like a whore! It's YOUR fault she got hurt! If you loved her even a little bit you'd have made sure this didn't happen!" Leonardo grabbed his swords from his back. He was so angry I thought he'd break his jaw from clenching it. "She belongs with me!"
Leo sneered at me. I could see a fight was inescapable and I drew my sais. We both took battle stances. "C'mon, Sensei," I said condescendingly.  "Try and teach me a lesson."  He knew I was stronger than him. Sure, he was more skilled as a ninja, but I could easily take him down.
He came at me, swinging his swords. I blocked all his attempts with my sais and then got a lucky shot and cut his shoulder. It seemed to anger him even more. He came at me fast and somehow nicked my thigh. I barely felt it. I was focused on taking him down.
Then Donnie and Mikey came in and tried to break us up. They both came to me and held me back, as I struggled against them. Leo pointed his blade at me and said, "We are no longer brothers."  His blue eyes were black.

ALEXIS
I heard yelling from the living room. I decided to get up and see what was happening. I had to pee anyway. This IV was hydrating me so much, I felt like I constantly had to go to the bathroom. I got up slowly and changed my shirt, slipping on a t shirt. Ow. My back stung so much. And my muscles were screaming in pain. But I felt like I needed to stretch them out a little.
By the time I got to the living room, nothing was happening. Leo was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands, alone.
"You okay, Leo?" I asked as I hobbled down to sit with him. He immediately sat up straight and turned his attention on me.
"Hey, do you need help? Careful!" He was poised to stand.
I sat down next to him gingerly. He looked at me, in my eyes. He looked sad.
"I have something I need to tell you. It's going to be hard for you to hear."
      It was then I noticed the cut on his shoulder. "Oh my god," I said, examining it. "What happened? 
      He shook his head, "Just Raph," he said, almost as an aside before he told me he had to tell me something again. Why would Raphael do this?  I had zero idea what he could possibly tell me, so I was curious and prepared myself.
"You have amnesia."
That seems like a joke. I don't feel like I don't remember things.
"You're actually with me." I looked at him, confused. "You and Raph broke up a while ago."
      "Shut up, quit playing around," I said. The idea of not being with Raph gave me a quick stab of pain in my heart. "It's not funny."
      "I'm not kidding, Alex," his voice was serious, his attention focused on me.
      He wasn't joking. It was true?  Raph and I broke up?  Then why did he kiss me?  Why did he tell me he loved me?  My stomach became tied in knots. I felt like I might throw up. I lost Raph.  Again.
     "You're serious," I said, tears welling up in my eyes. It's not like being with Leo would be the worst thing in the world. He was a good enough guy.  He was talented and loyal and had great morals. But I was in love with Raph. I always had been.  How did I get over him enough to be with Leo?
       "Good job, fearless," I heard Raph say from the other side of the room. "Good job sticking to the plan."  Leo's jaw clenched and his eyes turned steel blue. 
      "Go. Away."
       "Donnie said specifically not to tell her because it would cause her undue stress. But you had to be selfish and do what's good for you."
      Leo looked down and then to me. "I know you think you love him," he said in a measured way of speaking, "but don't throw away what we have just because right now you can't remember it."
      "Be honest," Raph walked towards us. "Did you tell her for her good or yours?"
Leo flew towards Raph, knocking him on the ground. They began to fight, rolling all over the place, grunting and punching.
I screamed for Donnie and Mikey.
"Not again!" Mikey said as he ran to Raph to try to hold him back from Leo.
Both Leo and Raph struggled to break free. Since Mikey and Donnie were focusing on Raph, I decided to take Leo's hand and try to lead him away.
"Leo, please, take me back to your room, I don't feel so good." His attention was immediately on me as if Raph wasn't even there. He picked me up gently and took me back to his room.

LEO
I sat her on my bed. The fight with Raph wasn't forgotten but it wasn't on the forefront of my mind either. I smoothed her hair down and tucked her in. Then all of a sudden, her lips were pressed against mine. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding and I grabbed for her. Gently. As if she was made of glass. She might as well have been. I sighed into the kiss as her tongue slipped between my lips. Did she remember now? I tasted her mouth, careful not to get too rough. I felt myself getting turned on. The thought that maybe I had her back after losing her.... I pulled myself away from her, both of us panting slightly.
"Do you remember?" I asked, hope lacing my voice.
She gave a half smile and shook her head so subtly anyone else would have missed it. "I just wanted to see if it would jog my memory."
My heart sank. "Oh." I could tell it didn't.
"I still felt something though," she added. Hope filled my heart again.
     "Why did we break up? Me and Raph." She asked after a few quiet moments.
     "That's a question for him." Fuck. She was going to want to talk to him.

ALEXIS
"You told me you loved me," Raph began. "I didn't say it back." He stood in the doorway of Leo's room. Donnie took Leo to the far side of the lair so Raph and I could talk.
     My face automatically turned into a scowl. I remembered that. I remember telling him I loved him and he left. He left me. "But you told me you love me when I woke up."
     Raph's eyes met mine. "I know.  I'm sorry.  I got caught up in the moment."  He blinked slightly. "You're in love with Leo," he choked out.  I could see his eyes get glassy. He was going to cry?  "You don't love me anymore."  He couldn't even look me in the eyes to say it.
