As the leader Leonardo always had to be responsible for all his brothers, making sure none of them gotten into trouble. Who would have guessed he would have done a huge mistake, probably the worse in the whole family of the four turtles and their rat father.

He had fallen in love… madly in love.

Beautiful right? Yeah if it wasn’t that he had fallen for a Foot ninja… he saw the good in her, he was the only one though… despite being enemies the feelings between them were strong… strong enough to be able to put the rivalry aside… and for a short period of time they were happily together…

But good things don’t last… One day she ran off, leaving just a note behind, with a simple apology but not a real explanation… it left Leo heartbroken… but years passed and he still couldn’t forget her… wonder why…

Almost eighteen years went by, your mother rose you alone in the woods, never telling you about your father or uncles… she trained you making sure you could defend yourself in this world of humans, where you were an half mutant made you automatically a target and she didn’t want you to be weak. She loved you a lot, even if you reminded her so much of your father, she missed him dearly, but she couldn’t get back…

After her death you were left alone in the woods, her last wish was you to go to New York, After a few days you finally departed from your childhood home to New York… Wondering why your mother wanted you to go there of all places…

Leonardo and his brothers were now fully adults, knowing nothing about your existence… yet. He thought about your mother, his past lover almost everyday, wondering how things could have went and how was she now…

As usual, at night, the four went on patrol, jumping between buildings with ease and keeping a close eye for anything suspicious… when they spotted something… a figure… it was almost familiar..?
