Sorry it took so long but I hope it was worth the wait. Reviews are always welcome and once again I own nothing :)

Slowly Leonardo opened his eyes, blinking several times he carefully looked around. Leo was a bit confused why the dojo was in complete darkness and why he was flat on his shell, instead of the lotus position he began his meditation in. He gracefully stood up, stretching his muscles, trying to get the blood flowing again.

Man how long have I been here? Leo thought to himself as he checked his watch hidden under his wrist guard.

"Aww shell. Mikey is going to kill me. It's almost three hours past dinner time and I promised I'd help." Leo grumbled under his breath as he headed for the dojo doorway.

Strange, it's not normally closed and I didn't shut it when I came here to meditate. Leo thought as he slid the door open and entered the common area. The lair was eerily quiet. Master Splinter was away in Japan visiting the Ancient One, and his brothers were usually noisier without their father around.

Where are my brothers? Leo wondered as he walked through the empty, silent living room - even the TV's were off.

As Leo passed Donnie's lab heading for the kitchen, he could hear faint clicking coming from inside.

"Well I know where Donnie is but what about Raph and Mikey?" Leo mused aloud quietly.

Leo got to the kitchen doors and looked inside. He could see Mikey leaning heavily over the sink with one hand, the other one clutching a glass half full of water. Mikey's head hung low, his shoulders hunched up as he shook with silent sobs. Leo's eyes snapped back up to Mikey's half turned face when he realized his baby brother was crying. Looking closer now Leo could see the darker orange in Mikey's mask where his tears had soaked through.

Mikey looks terrible, what happened? Did he and Raph have some kind of fight? Leo thought worriedly. Thinking of Raph where is he? I bet he went out after I told him to stay home; that's the reason why I decided to practice the new mediation that Master Splinter taught me before he left. Leo felt the heat from the previous anger rise as he remembered the argument.

Before he could say anything, Mikey sensed Leo's presence and spun around sharply, his sapphire eyes widening in surprise and shock at the sight of his oldest brother. Leo could've sworn Mikey came the closest color to white that a mutant turtle could become, right in front of him, before Mikey suddenly became rigid and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Leo watched in horror as Mikey dropped the glass he was holding. It broke into several shards, but the jagged bottom half the glass stood straight up. Mikey rocked on his knees for a second before they gave out causing the young turtle to fall forward, his exposed throat heading for the jagged glass bottom.

Leo rushed forward in a blinding speed and caught Mikey before he could hit the deadly object. Leo carefully lowered him to the kitchen floor and quickly pressed two fingers against Mikey's throat seeking a pulse. Underneath his finger tips Leo felt Mikey's heartbeat; it was strong and steady. Letting out a relieved breath, Leo set to work checking his brother over as he laid cradled in his arms. Leo tried to figure out what caused his brother's sudden collapse. He didn't seem to have a sickness or injury that could cause him to collapse.

Leo was about to shout to Donnie for help when he remembered his brother was in his lab and wouldn't hear him through all the sound proofing he had in placed. Reaching down he grabbed for his shell cell but his hands found nothing there. Then Leo remembered it was up stairs charging in his bedroom. Reaching over he quickly freed Mikey's cell from his belt and texted Donnie to come to the kitchen ASAP not knowing what Donnie was working on in the lab, he might not hear the shell cell.

While Leo waited for Donnie, he laid Mikey's head in his lap, keeping a close eye on his brothers breathing and pulse for any sudden changes.

"Mikey, what do you need?" Donnie asked in a tired voice, coming into the kitchen; his head firmly buried in a huge medical textbook.

Why would Donnie be reading that? The only time he digs that out is if one of us is sick or hurt. Leo thought with concern. Then another darker thought entered Leo's head with dread rising in him. I've seen Mikey and Donnie but I haven't seen or heard Raph. Could his hot head brother be lying badly hurt in the infirmary? Leo tried to suppress the urgent need to run there and check. But he pushed it down. Mikey needs me right now. I'll find Raph later after Donnie checks Mikey out. Leo thought determinedly.

"It wasn't Mikey who texted you Don," Leo replied as he carefully laid Mikey's head on the floor before he stood up to give Donnie room to help their brother.

Donnie's head shot up so fast that Leo thought his spine would snap. His chocolate eyes were wide with shock and confusion. The book that he was reading fell to the floor from nerveless fingers. Leo watched as his genius brother lost all his usual color and began to shudder at the sight of his eldest brother, his knees were shaking so badly that they gave out.

"Awww, shell not again," Leo moaned to himself, as he rushed to catch his brother before he could hurt himself. Leo carefully lowered Don who appeared to be catatonic to the floor. His eyes were glazed over and he kept muttering "Not possible" over and over.

"Don? Do you hear me?" Leo repetitively patted Donnie's face, trying to get some sort of reaction out of him.

After a few minutes of Leo trying to snap his purple banded turtle out of it and having no success. Leo decided it was time for different approach. A hard open-handed slap followed up the useless effort, which whipped Donnie's head a little painfully, but it also did the trick.

Donatello's hand shot up to his stinging cheek as he blinked owlishly at Leo.

"...L..Lee..o !" Don yelped, stuttering as if he d never said his brother's name before.

"...Don?..." Was the only thing that came to Leo's confused mind.

Donnie continued to look at Leo slowly as he knelt in front of him. Not really believing his eyes. Then very tentatively Donnie held his right hand lightly against Leo's chest over his brothers heart. Under his hand Donnie could feel his brothers warm plastron as it rose fell with his brothers even light breaths, very faintly he could also make out the gentle beating of his heart.

Leo's Alive! He really is alive! Donnie's mind screamed in rapture that his big brother was actually okay.

Donnie looked into Leo's hazel eyes that were full of confusion and worry as he tried to puzzle out why his brothers were acting so strangely around him.

Before Leo could react, in one swift movement Donnie wrapped himself around Leo in a tight hug. It took only a second for Leonardo to get over his shock and wrap his own arms around Donnie, squeezing him back tightly.

As tears coursed down Donnie's cheeks, he told Leo the horrific story of what happened only hours ago. Leo gently rubbed his brother's shell in a comforting motion as Donatello told him. Leo quietly murmuring soothing words to him as he listened to his younger brother.

After a while the two brothers broke their hug and sat back looking at each other.

"Don't look at me like that genius" Leo stated awkwardly.

"Like what?" Donnie asked his voice slightly shaking still from the shock of Leo being alive.

"Like I've come back from the dead or something, I'm fine." Leo replied "It's Mikey that I'm worried about." Leo continued.

"Mikey? Why? What's wrong with Mikey?" Don asked going into 'Doctor Mode'.
