Leo was gone for a while now after 2 years of training separated from his sensei and brothers, he met April who managed to open his eyes by telling him that everything’s so different in his family since he’s gone. But after thinking he finally decided to return to his family who needed him, back to you, Raph, Donnie, Mikey and his father splinter. As he came back at night he saw Donnie sleeping with a comic on his face and Mikey with a pizza box asleep as well, he smiled before he entered splinters’s dojo room. He sat there with closed eyes awaiting for Leo to enter.

Splinter:"Enter, and kneel down my son."

and so Leo did he knelt down opposite the table of where splinter sat.

Leo:" I returned from my training master, I was so caught in my own world I forgot everyone else. I’m sorry I failed…"

Splinter:"on the contrary my son, now you are much stronger."

he walked over to Leo handing him a medal.

Splinter:"your strength is needed here now, you owe me no apology. But perhaps you should talk to Raphael, your absence has been practically difficult for him. Though he’ll never admit it."

Leo:"I’m certain, things will be back to normal in no time master."

Splinter: "good because until you act as one, you are forbidden to fight."

Leo didn’t think twice and accepted splinters condition and dosent hesitate to agree.

Leo:"yes sensei…"

Splinter soon aproaches Leo before hugging him gently.

Splinter:"I missed you Leonardo."

Leo hugs his Father splinter back before chiming in.

Leo:"I missed you too father…"

he soon pulled back looking down at splinter before adding a smile on his face.
