The air in Tiger Claw's hideout was thick with damp and the sharp scent of cordite. Crouched behind a wall of crumbling brick, you—Leonardo—kept your eyes fixed on the villain's back as he inspected a cart laden with stolen explosives. A sudden shuffle, a muffled curse: Mikey had stumbled into Raph. Raph's anger hissed out, a spark in the dark. Donnie groaned quietly, the sound dripping with dread.

The shadows seemed to press closer as your brothers' silent, urgent looks landed on you, their leader, in the breathless moment before everything broke.
