"Leo?"

"I know what you're here to say, (Y/N). You're here to tell me things I already know, just like April. To say 'I told you so' and tell me to stay away. I know I'm supposed to be leader, ok!? I know-"

"I'm sorry."

. . .

"But do I really seem like the type of person to do that? To tell you 'I told you so' when it's obvious you already know? When you've already learned your lesson? When you're already hurting?"

. . .

"Look at me Leo, and tell me the truth."

"No... You aren't."

"And I want to say I'm sorry because... I'm the one who made those explosives for Karai, and she has a lot more. I made her a lot more, and people are going to get hurt because I won't be there to regulate her and the usage of them anymore."

. . .

. . .

"You're... You're not going to work with them anymore?"

"After what happened to Donnie? Of course not. You're not the only one at fault, Leo. If I hadn't been fighting you so hard about this, then you wouldn't have had to help Karai, and Donnie would be alright."

"But - they were following my T-phone-"

"Does that matter? What matters is that we hurt our family and we hurt each other because I kept... I kept trying to push you guys away... and act older than I really was."

"Ping!"

. . .

"A text from Karai?"

"You got one too, huh?"

"We have to stop her."

"There's no point, Leo. She's convinced this is how she's going to find who she is. She's having an identity crisis and it's not going to be fixed like this. She has to learn that, and with her personality... Well, she's only going to learn that the hard way."

"But we can't just leave her to die."

"We won't."

. . .

"Say the word Leader, and I'll help you knock some sense into her. No more arguments, no more fights. Our time together is too short. Life's too short."

"Then would you, (Y/N)? Would you help me knock some sense into our sister?"

"On one condition."

"Condition? I thought you said-"

"I'm still you're girlfriend. So, kiss me like you mean it."

. . .

"D-don't stare at me like that, it's embarrassin - mph!"

. . .

. . .

. . .

"... You know, you don't look half bad in the black bandana... But I think I still like blue more..."

"Me too."
