Hello new reader, thanks for clicking on this TMNT 2012 fanficion.
Now I got this little idea, and couldn't help writing it down, so be prepared for fluff, and sickness, and so on.
P.S I'm seriously busy with too many things lately, and though I've never tried having a beta, I could really use one...
P.P.S I'm really bad at kraang talk XD
- I don't own TMNT
Three turtles were standing right outside an old warehouse, trying to pick the lock with no luck...
"You still think it was smart leaving Don at home?"
"No, but he was too tired to function. I did what was best for him."
"What about what's best for the team? It isn't our fault he stayed up all night. Again!"
"I know Raph, but ever since father stopped breathing, he haven't been himself."
"Well things change, Splinter had to leave us sooner or later."
"...Later had been fine."
"Yeah, but that didn't happen. Come on, it's half a year ago now, he has to move on."
"Right, because you sure did."
That comment made Raphs blood boil.
Sure he hadn't exactly been an angel the last six months, but he was getting stronger.
What Donnie did to himself only made him weaker.
"No one's perfect oh fearless leader, of course I miss him, but that won't make him come back."
Leo was getting ready to fight his brother when the youngest placed himself in between them.
"Could you two please shut up about Splinter, he's gone, no reason to keep talking about him."
"Right, sorry Mikey..."
"We won't mention him no more."
"Thanks. So, how do we get in now that D isn't here to pick the lock?"
"That's easy, we make our own way in."
"No we don't, no reason to start an alarm."
"Then what do you suggest?"
"... What about sneaking through the open window?" Leo smoothly pointed upwards.
"Oh. Guess that'll work too."
They took out their climbing claws and started climbing the red brick wall.
They got to the window and entered the facility.
"So, what are we looking for exactly?"
"Mutated Mutagen. Donnie mentioned something about a warehouse filled up with it."
"And you just guessed this was the place?"
"Well no, I got the address from his computer."
"Then let's get this over with."
They stood on the metal balcony, looking down at a pair of kraang. They were carrying mutagen canisters.
"Well, I only see about three canisters, shouldn't there be more?"
"Shhh, I'm trying to listen!"
"Kraang is ready to transport the mutagen back to Kraang in what humans calculates as, a minute."
"That is good news to Kraang. Kraang will follow Kraang back to Kraang."
They entered a truck, then drove off. The turtles jumped down from the balcony to the floor.
"Great, we came too late."
"Maybe not, look." Leo pointed at a purple slime trail that led out to the back of the warehouse.
"What are we waiting for then, let's go kick some shell!"
"Raph wait, we don't know what's hiding in there!"
"Who cares, whatever it is, it's dead soon!"
"And kraangy!" Mikey reminded him.
"Exactly, that should be reason enough to let it be!"
"Whatever happened to our fearless leader, is he really scared? You gonna pee your shell?
Come on, how bad can it be? Mikey, you're with me, aren't you?"
"Yeah I'll come... Sorry Leo..."
"You two, come back here! Dammit! Wait, I'm coming too!"
They stealthily followed the trail. It smelled kinda funky, but no one even mentioned it.
It suddenly ended right in front of a heap of wooden boxes.
"Great, we lost it! Good job Leo!"
"How can we lose something we haven't even seen yet? And why's it my fault?"
"I don't know, maybe because you were too busy chickening out on us!"
"I'm not a chicken, I'm just not gonna risk any of you getting hurt!"
"We do this kinda stuff all the time, and getting hurt is just a part of it!"
"I know but- Wait, What was that?"
They froze in place and listened closely, trying to find the source of the loud slimy sound,
when a big blue gelatinous monster appeared from behind the boxes.
"Ah shell!"
"What is that thing!"
"Don't know Mikey, but we have to stop it! Look out!"
Raph yelled, as the big blob started firing purple slime at them. Mikey didn't manage to duck in time, and was hit right in the face.
"Eww gross! Get it off of me, get it off of me!"
"Mikey, stop panicking!"
"No, it's inside my mouth, it's inside my mouth! I ate it! I ate purple goop!"
"Focus! The thing's still shooting at us!" Raph yelled.
"I got it guys, stay back!" Leo yelled as he sliced the jelly thing in two with his katana.
Apparently he had managed to slice something inside of it that made it spatter with the purple substance in such an amount, that you almost could swim in it.
"This is so gross!" Raph yelled, as he tried to get it off his arms and face.
"Guys, it's inside my mouth again!"
"Please be quiet! The things dead."
"So?"
"So, we have no reason to stay here anymore. Let's get home and get a shower."
"What about the truck? We can't just let them get away!" Raph protested as he tried to empty his ears.
"They're long gone now, there's no reason to go searching."
"Then what about you go home, then I'll go search for it."
"That's too risky, we stay together! Besides, if Donnie finds out that we got here by using his laptop without permission, it won't be pretty."
"Yeah, can't we just go home!" Mikey pegged while cleaning his tongue off with his hands.
"Raph?"
"Okay fine! Guess I'm kinda beat anyway."
"Dibs on the shower!"
Raph agreed and they headed home.
Early next morning in the lair
Donnie had been asleep for hours, but finally woke at about five AM.
*Yawn* "What time is it?" He looked at the watch on his night table. "Five? Is it that early?"
Donnie rubbed his eyes, stood up, stretched out a bit, took his arm and knee patches on, and then his bandanna, then leaved his room.
As he walked into the hall that divided the four bedrooms he heard the sound of a turned on TV, which was weird,
cause his brothers didn't wake up before at least eight, since the patrols often lasted till about one AM.
He didn't know how long it had taken them this time though.
He slowly headed into the living room, where he found Mikey on the couch watching cartoon. He looked a bit pale. He decides to sit down beside him.
"Hey Mikey, you up already?"
"I've been up for about an hour."
"Really? How come?"
"My stomach feels funny. Here, try and lie your hand on it."
Donnie lies his hand on his little brothers plastron to be greeted with a loud violent gurgle.
"Can you feel it?"
"Yeah, but don't worry, probably just something you ate. Your stomach is just trying to digest it."
"Yeah, maybe your right."
"Just sit tight, I'll get you some water."
"Thanks."
Donnie entered the kitchen. He opened a cupboard, took out a glass and filled it with water. After that he found some alka selterz.
Now that he was in there, he decided to make some coffee.
He had just started the machine when he saw Raph standing in the door frame. He looked tired.
"Hey Raph, you stayed up all night? You look beaten."
"Yeah, and I feel that way too."
He then fully entered the kitchen, and spotted the glass and pills standing on the table.
"Hey Don, who's the pills for?"
"Mikey, he's not feeling too well."
"Really? But Mike's never sick. You sure he isn't faking it?"
"I don't think it's that bad either, just an upset stomach, though he did look a bit pale."
"Well, tell the goofball to get well soon cause-woe"
Raph stopped mid sentence as a sudden dizziness rushed over him. He leaned on the sink with both hands, waiting for the world to stop spinning.
"Bro, you okay?" Donnie asked as he poured coffee into a mug.
"Yeah I'm fine, felt dizzy for a moment, but it's gone now."
"You sure yo-"
"I said I'm fine!"
"Okay okay, sorry for asking..."
Don left the kitchen and headed back into the living room. Mikey were now hugging his stomach tightly, head hung low. Donnie sat down beside him.
"You feeling better or worse?"
"Worse."
"What's different?"
"I'm dizzy, and it feels like my stomach is knotting."
"I see... Here, take this."
"What is it?"
"It's medicine, it'll help you feel better."
Mikey looked at him a bit skeptical before accepting it. The bubbling water tasted awful, but he trusted the genius.
Donnie laid a hand on the younger turtles forehead. He did feel a bit feverish.
"When did you start to feel ill?"
"Some hours after the mission. I didn't feel anything when we were outside, but as we came home, I started to feel really tired."
"Were you the only one feeling more tired than usual?"
"No, Raph was tired too. But it was a long night, guess everyone had a need for sleep."
Another loud rumbling sound came from the orange clad turtles stomach, and a small whimper escaped his mouth.
"Try and lie down, it might help." He did as told and lied down, his head in Donnie's lab.
Donnie rubbed small soothing circles on his little brothers plastron, which seemed to help a bit.
Then Raph left the kitchen and entered the room. He walked to the couch, and leaned on it weakly.
"Hey Donnie, you got anymore of that medicine of yours?"
"Sure, why? Are you feeling sick too?"
"Maybe a little lightheaded. Not like I can't take care of it myself you know!"
"It's in the kitchen cupboard closest to the door frame , top shelf."
"Top shelf?"
"Yes, is that a problem? Something you want me to get for you?"
"No, that's fine, I'll get it myself." Raph headed for the kitchen again.
"I could help you know, if you weren't so stubborn."
"Just stay with Mikey, I'm not a baby anymore, I can take care of myself."
"hey, I heard that!" Mikey protested.
"Besides, there's no shame in asking for help."
"Yeah whatever."
"Wait, where's Leo?" Donnie suddenly asked.
"I don't know, lucky guess, he's inside the dojo meditating."
"Hey Mikey, I have to leave for a second buddy."
"That's alright, now I got Raph to keep me company."
"Forget it, I aren't gonna entertain you Mikey!" Could be heard from the kitchen.
Raph was right. Inside the dojo were Leo, meditating as he did every morning, though he didn't seem as concentrated as he used to.
"Hey Leo, you busy?"
"No, I'm not. You may enter." Donnie did as told and sat down beside his blue masked brother, who stopped his meditating.
"You seem unfocused. Is something bothering ya?"
"No not really, just tired."
"You aren't feeling a slight dizziness, maybe a sore head, stomach?"
"uhm, no, I don't think so. Maybe a bit of a headache, nothing more at the moment. Why you ask?"
"What happened last night. Did something happen while on patrol?"
"Well, uhm, we tracked down that place you highlighted on your laptop."
"You looked at my laptop without my permission? That thing is private! Don't you ever touch my things!"
"I know, sorry about that, but none the less we got there, saw the kraang carrying mutagen canisters and then they took off.
We investigated first floor when a huge blue gelatinous monster threw slime at us. I managed to kill it, but at the end all of us were covered in slime.
Mikey even managed to eat some of it by accident."
"And why didn't any of you tell me this?"
"You were sleeping, and we believed it wasn't of any emergency."
"Oh well, then I'll happily tell you that Mikey is lying on the couch, complaining about an upset stomach, and Raph is too stubborn as always,
and won't admit that he's ill too. You're the leader, this is your responsibility! You're the oldest, the one in charge of everything,
you have to report every possible danger to me, or else I can't help you! So please, if you're feeling any kinda side effects since the mission, tell me."
Leo was quiet for a second before answering. He didn't dare saying he felt sick too, he couldn't be...
"Okay fine, I might be feeling a bit dizzy, but that could be anything."
"Don't you be stubborn too Leo, it's for your own good."
Don could feel the presence of another turtle standing at the entrance to the dojo. He turned around to discover that that turtle was Raphael himself.
"Hey Don, I'm not tall enough to reach it, could you... Maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"...Help me reach it." Raph whispered embarrassed.
"Of course I' will. What's brothers for?"
"Wait, did you just ask for someone's help Raph?"
"Just shut up Leo, I'm not in the mood."
"You're never in the mood..."
"You two, please spare all your frustrations till later. Raph, go sit on the couch, I'll be there in a minute to make a medical examination,
and Leo, I'll have to ask you to do the same."
Both brothers nodded and did as ordered.
This is gonna be difficult...
