House T.M.N.D
a/n: This might not be what I had in mind when I originally set out to do a series. Heck this might not even be the last one in the series, but I do know that I kind of changed the ending of TMNT and Ninjago which this is a continuation from, and I also know that it is based two years forward from when the last chapter ended so the turtles are seventeen. So here it is the third in the series. I guess that makes it a trilogy for now. I own neither the turtles, House M.D. characters or any mentions of the ninja. I do own o/c's though. The word for this chapter coincidentally is trilogy. Enjoy! :)
Chapter 1
Samantha and Raphael were running through the house. "Sensei, Master Splinter!" They yelled. The man stood in front of his second eldest son and his only daughter.
"What is it my children?" He asked them. Samie began by flattering her father in the hope that it would sweeten him up a bit. Raph put his hand of her mouth.
"We were kinda wondering if we could go to a concert in Jersey, just the two of us?" He asked with a pleading face.
"Yes you may. If you promise to call me and check up every so often and if you promise to take the battle-shell." He answered.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Samie said hugging her father tightly before running up to her bedroom to find something to wear.
A month later Raph and Samie were in Jersey and on their way to the concert venue in the battle-shell. Raphael looked at his sister and was shocked to see her pale and a little pasty. "Hey Samie, you feeling okay?" He asked not taking his eyes off of the road.
"I feel fine Raphie. How long till were there?" She asked.
"Not long, maybe five minutes. You sure your okay?" He said.
"Yeah, I'm just excited about the concert." Samie said.
Raph found a parking spot and they climbed out of the battle-shell. Sam took a dizzy turn as she climbed out. Raph turned around and seen his sister leaning against the side of the armoured truck with her hands on her knees. "Samie, you okay sis?" He asked. Samie mumbled an excuse and followed her brother. "Come on sis Maroon 5 is the band we listen to together. And I will be damned if you don't enjoy yourself." He said and wrapped his arms around her protectively. Half way to the entrance and Samie suddenly stopped. Unable to breath and holding her right arm Raph knew that something was up.
"Samie are you okay, is it a stroke or a heart attack?" He asked concerned.
"No. It's the. Wrong arm. Can't. Feel. It. Can't. Move. It." She breathed. By this point a crowd had gathered around the teens and someone had offered to help him carry her to the battle-shell. The man who helped was a bit older and had a cane. He didn't look like he was going to be much help.
"Do you know where the hospital is?" Raph asked.
"Yeah, I do. Why don't you let me give you directions." He said. Raph let him climb into the battle-shell under the strict conditions that he didn't touch anything.
"Samie ya just hold in there sis. I'll call the others when we get to the hospital." Raph said. Sam nodded weakly still struggling to catch her breath.
"You might want to be treated by Doctor House." Said the cane man.
They made it to the hospital and Raph ran his sister into the ER. "Help my sister needs help!" He yelled at the top of his voice. Meanwhile the cane man ran up to his office and called his team into work saying that they have a case. Raph sat beside his sister as an oxygen mask was put on Sam's face. "I promise that I will not leave your side until sensei gets here with the others. Sam nodded and pointed to Raph's shell-cell which hadn't been taken out of his pocket.
"Yeah, it helps if I call him doesn't it." He said. Dialling his father's number. "Hey master splinter you gotta get down here. It's ma sister, she's sick stopped breathing and couldn't move her right arm.
"Tell the doctor treating her that we will be there as soon as possible and ask if they need my permission for anything as you are both still minors." Splinter said down the phone. "And Raphael, remember don't worry your sister is in the best place until she is better." Splinter warned his son.
"Hai sensei. I will keep that in mind." Raph hung up and began to stroke his sister's hair gently as she lay down on a bed. A nurse walked over to them.
"We are ready to transfer you to the ICU now we aren't going to go very fast but the bed will be moving honey." The nice nurse began to put the sides up on the bed before moving it.
They made it to the ICU and on the way passed Doctor House's office. "Hey that's the guy that helped us get here." Raph said.
"If he did that then he probably finds your case interesting enough to need his help with it." The nurse said.
Inside the office four guys and one woman were talking about the case. Their names were Dr Taub, Dr Kutner, Dr Hadley, Dr Foreman and Dr House. "We have a seventeen year old girl with difficulty breathing and a paralysed right arm.
"Well the breathing problem could be an angina attack, we should do an ECG." Foreman suggested.
"If you count in the paralysis then you could possibly say that the kid has atherosclerosis. We should test for that." Hadley otherwise known as thirteen suggested agreeing with Foreman.
"Maybe first we should take her family history and see if it is a genetic condition." Taub contributed.
"Or we could give the patient an ECG before she has a heart-attack or a stroke before her father gets here." Foreman said.
"Kutner, Taub you can perform the ECG and take a family history." House said. "I would say for you two to go and search the house, but right now there is no need to and the girl lives in New York." House said looking at Thirteen and Foreman. "Do whatever until then." He said leaning back on the chair he was sitting down in.
In Samie's room Raph was still with his sister and now regretting getting the extra large soda from the meal they had had on the way down. "Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Samie asked.
"I ain't leaving you." Raph replied. The two doctors came in.
"Hey, we just want to give you an ECG. It's where we make-" Kutner began.
"Make sure my heart is okay, I know." Sam replied. "Electrocardiogram." She smiled weakly at the doctors as they began to explain the tests.
"You don't mind if we take a patient history from you." Taub asked.
"Not at all. I am seventeen, as I assume you know from my chart. I am a non-smoker I study martial arts so I am pretty active. I also don't have any genetic disorders and I couldn't tell you about my parents as we are adopted." Samie said. "Oh, and I broke my right arm about two years ago."
"Both of you are adopted?" Taub asked.
"Us and our three brothers that no doubt are on their way here." Raph asked.
"Have any of them experienced these symptoms, it would help us figure out if it is genetic or not." Taub asked.
"No it wouldn't, unless it was Donatello. But he thankfully hasn't."
"What you have sounds like a heart attack. How many times a week do you practice your art?" Taub asked.
"Every day for a few hours but never more than six hours a day." She replied. Taub wrote down the information he had been given as Taub instructed her that she wouldn't feel any discomfort while the test is being carried out.
About two hours later the siblings fell asleep as their brothers and sensei walked into the room. Leonardo shook Raphael awake. "What happened Raph?" He asked.
"One second we were walking the next she was saying that she couldn't breathe and move her arm. They gave her an ECG and took a history." He replied. "Now you guys stay here I have a date with a urinal." He said before slipping out of the room.
"If they gave her an ECG then they probably thought that the shortness of breath was caused by her heart. And they are probably worried that it is hereditary if they took a history." Donatello said sitting beside his sister on the bed. He picked up her hand and held it as they lay together.
The next morning Samie opened up her eyes and looked around before remembering that she was in hospital. She looked to her left and seen that Donnie was lying beside her. Still unable to move her right arm she used her left to pinch his arm hard enough to wake him. "Ouch. What was that for?" He asked rubbing his arm.
"I couldn't move and you are so difficult to wake up." She replied. "Now shut it before you wake sensei." Samie said sitting herself up. Donnie smiled and went into his ever handy duffel bag.
"I brought you something." He said and flung a pink elephant at her. "Thought that you might have wanted it." He said.
"Thanks Don. You know I love my care bear elephant." Samie said. And gave him a half hug with her good arm. "Raph was amazing last night. I haven't seen that side of him in a while."
"You mean since that jock at school wouldn't leave you alone." Donnie commented.
Michelangelo slowly opened his eyes when hearing the voices speaking. "Hey guys what time is it?" He asked rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"It is nearly nine in the morning." Don replied looking at his digital watch. "I take it you haven't had the results of the ECG yet?" He asked Sam.
"How did you even know about that? And no we haven't, probably get them today."
"Leo made Raph tell us and you can never be too careful when it comes to your symptoms." He replied.
"Do any of you want something to eat?" Mikey put in.
"Get some coffee for everyone, apart from Sensei and Samie."
"I could use some coffee."
"No coffee you nearly had a heart attack last night." Don scolded. Mikey rambled something about getting food for everyone as well and left the room with twenty dollars to get everything.
The doctors came up to the room again, only this time it was to ask about any neurological symptoms. "I forgot my lunch a couple days this week. But I have always had a bit of a slippery mind when it comes down to it."
"And why would that be?" Foreman asked.
"He." Samie said pointing at Leo. "Said that its because I fill my head with random information."
"Or it could be an underlying neurological condition or more likely with your symptoms it could be the beginning of a stroke. We might need to do an MRI to be sure. And for that we would need consent from a parent." Foreman said. He handed Splinter a consent form which he signed. As Foreman left the room Kutner, who was with him, walked closer to Sam. Her face had began to show signs of paralysis on her right side and her heart rate began to quicken. "If think she might be having a stroke, get them out of here. They don't need to see this. We need that MRI now." Kutner yelled while trying to clear her airways.
a/n: Sorry if I went on a bit and yeah, I have one of those care bear elephants. I think its name is lostaheart elephant, correct me if I'm wrong. Oh yeah and I have been wanting to do this one for a long time and I have been waiting since just after I published TMNT and Ninjago.
