Okay, time for another story, please review.

Ch 1 Awakenings

"Raph?" Leo's voice sounded far away. "Raph, can you hear me?"

Raph let out a moan as he attempted to open his eyes.

"Donnie I think he's waking up." Mikey said, his voice sounding a bit shaky.

"Come on Raph," Leo coaxed, "Time to open your eyes."

Raph moaned again and slowly began to open his eyes, he blinked against the bright light until Leo's face finally came into focus. Leo smiled down at him, a look of relief on his face.

"Finally," He breathed. "How do you feel?"

Raph let out a small groan and stared up into Leo's eyes. He continued to look at Leo as he struggled to sit up. "Um, slightly dizzy." Raph said as he put his hand on his head. "What happened?" He looked around and noticed he was in Donnie's lab and laying on the table.

"What's the last thing you remember?" Donnie's face now came into view.

"Uh, we were fighting the foot, right?"

"That sums it up." Mikey said as he stared at his brother, his face still showing a look of concern. "Will he be okay Donnie?"

"Should be," Donnie responded. "The blood samples I took earlier doesn't show any complications but just to make sure whatever Tiger Claw gave him had no lingering effects, I'll take another sample." With that Donnie went to a table and picked up a hypodermic needle and proceeded to take blood out of Raph's arm.

"I'll let you know if I find anything." Donnie said as he walked over to his equipment.

"You just stay here and rest Raph," Leo told him, "I'm sure you'll be back to your old self in no time." Leo stood up and was about to leave when Raph grabbed his arm.

"Um," Leo looked back at him perplexed, "Did you need something?" Leo asked as Raph continued to stare at him.

Raph shook his head and released his arm. "Uh...no...sorry, uh, just...uh...thanks." He said as he attempted to understand why he grabbed Leo's arm.

"How about I make you some soup?" Mikey offered.

"Yeah, uh thanks Mike," Raph said, still feeling somewhat confused. "Sounds great."

Leo and Mikey walked out of the room while Raph watched them leave. A few minutes later, Mikey returned carrying a small bowl of chicken noodle soup, Raph gratefully accepted it and began to eat, all the while watching the door to the lab.

"Uh, where's Leo?" He asked.

"Talking with Master Splinter." Mikey replied. "So what do you remember?"

"Not much." Raph replied while he ate. "I remember we were fighting the foot bots along with Tiger Claw, Xever and Rahzar, and then I heard someone call out to me."

"Yeah, that was Donnie."

"Okay, anyway, I turned to see someone behind me and the next thing I know I feel this pinch in my arm."

"Tiger Claw shot a dart at you." Donnie told him as he came over to him. "I think it was something Stockman cooked up to use on us," He began checking his pulse and looking into his eyes with a small penlight. "At least I don't see anything else, and your blood doesn't show any signs of the drug so just rest here for a few more hours and then you can go lay down in your room."

Donnie then got up and walked out of the lab leaving Mikey and Raph alone. "So that dart knocked me out huh?" Raph asked.

"Like a light bulb, dude." Mikey responded. "You were out for a whole day."

Raph handed him his bowl and laid back down. "I think I'll be okay after a nap."He said with a yawn.

Mikey nodded as he left the lab to go to the kitchen allowing Raph to get some rest.
