Turtle Nurse

Karai and her forces were too strong and too many, Donnie and his brothers saw that when they first encountered them on the roof of a bank.

Donnie knocked down Foot after Foot and still they kept coming in a seemingly never- ending ocean.

They kept backing him up.

He was cut, bruised and bleeding in several various places, and was starting to lose consciousness.

Then with a final kick Don was hit over the side of a building into the darkness below.

He landed on a fire escape.

He barely had and consciousness left, but he knew the foot would come looking for him.

With his last bit of strength he pulled open a nearby window, fell into somebody's bathroom and passed out…

"Mom, I'm going to take a bath ok." Miranda said, walking down the hall to the bathroom in the back.

Miranda went in, shut the door and locked it before she noticed the figure on the floor.

She gasped.

He wasn't human but that wasn't the reason she had gasped.

It was because he was covered in several deep gashes that were oozing blood.

She knelt beside him to see if he was breathing.

He was.

She lifted his head into her lap.

He moaned.

She had to clean his wounds but how?

Miranda mentally kicked herself.

"You're in a bathroom dummy put him in the tub." She thought to herself.

She put his head gently on the ground again.

She got up and went to the other side near his head.

She grabbed his arm and put it over her shoulders and lifted

As his shoulders came off the ground she grabbed underneath them and brought him to his feet.

Then, slowly but carefully, she lowered him into the tub.

She started the water and made sure it wasn't too hot.

Then she got a rag from under the sink.

As the tub filled the blood from his wounds turned the water red. Miranda dabbed at his cuts and face with the washcloth.

Suddenly he started mumbling and stirring.

Miranda froze watching him…

Donnie's P.O.V.

Donnie could feel himself regaining consciousness.

Felt warm and wet at the same time and something soft kept dabbing at his skin.

Then there was a sudden shock that went through his body as it realized how much pain it was in.

He tried to cry out but all that would come out was mumbled sounds.

Donnie was now trying to force his eyes open.

At first his vision was blurred, but as he focused he could see a girl staring at him with a worried.

Donnie slowly looked at his surroundings.

He was in a tub with bloody water.

He tried to move but his body jabbed him with pain, plus the girl put her hand on his shoulder to steady him.

"Don't move, please your wounds are very deep and they must be cleansed." The girl said.

Donnie was silent as he let what she had said seep in.

Besides the heat radiating from the tub, he felt strangely warm.

"So do you have a name?" She asked him quietly.

Donnie turned to look at her.

His throat was very dry but he managed to get out one word.

"Donatello." He said hoarsely.

The girl looked at him surprised he had answered her.

"I'm Miranda." She said smiling at him.

She reached down in between his feet and pulled the bath plug.

"I cleaned your wounds as best I could." She said getting a towel for him, grabbing some bandages from under the sink too.

She hung the towel over her are like she was a butler.

"Alright, your gonna have to stand up but I'll help you." She said.

She grabbed one of his arms and helped him get up and out of the tub.

Then, with a blush, rubbed him down with the towel.

"Ok I'm going to sit you down so I can wrap your wounds ok." She told him.

Don nodded slightly.

Miranda worked quickly, and in no time had him bandaged up.

Donnie still felt hot.

Normal P.O.V.

Miranda noticed that his skin was a little warmer then a reptile's should be.

She felt his forehead.

"Oh it looks like you have a fever." She said pulling her hand away.

"And a headache." Donatello mumbled.

Miranda smiled.

She was happy to see he was feeling at least a little better.

Suddenly the door handle rattled.

"Miranda, you better not be still in that bathtub young lady." Her mother said through the door.

"Um no mom, I-I'm not". Miranda stuttered.

"Why do you sound so guilty, open the door I'm coming in." Her mom said rattling the handle some more.

"NO MOM DON'T COME IN!" Miranda yelled.
