A/N: This is will be a five chapter fic. I am doing a 100 theme challenge on deviantART. This will cover: under the rain, night, under the stars, hold my hand, and eyes.
The four turtles climbed from the sewer. It was raining heavily, they could hardly see anything much of the time. Once they reached the alleyway Mikey began to jump from puddle to puddle. They reached the fire escape and climbed to roof top. They watched as the humans frantically run from the building and try to find a taxi.
After nearly thirty minutes the rain had slowed down enough for them to see better. During the entire time they had to stop Mikey from jumping in every puddle he could find.
Giving up on puddle jumping Mikey took to poking Raph. The red banded turtle was just about to flip his younger brother when the turtles came across some trouble, Foot soldiers. Leo and Raph went to the far side of the roof, while Donnie and Mikey stayed in their location.
"Booyakasha!" Mikey yelled out madly spinning his nunchaku.
Donnie was spinning his bō staff, but he dropped it when he felt s sharp pain pierce his arm. Donnie dropped to his knees he felt as if his head was going to rip open, his eyes snapped shut. Just as quickly, his eyes opened again, he felt himself reach down for his bō.
"Donnie?" the voice echoed in his head, it sounded like Mikey.
Donnie had no control over his movements. His vision was blurred around the edges. Mikey's back was to his brother, trying to fight off some Foot. Donnie raised his hands above his head and brought his staff down behind Mikey's shell and onto his shoulders, his weapon snapped. Suddenly Donnie felt his world spin, he dropped to the ground.
"What the shell Donnie?" Mikey asked grunting in pain a rubbing his shoulders. Mikey turned around to see his brother lying on the ground, "Donnie?" Mikey whimpered gently shaking his brother. Mikey started to panic, Donnie's breathing became fast. Mikey went to bring Donnie into his arms when he felt a dart sticking out of his brother's arm. "Donnie…" Mikey said, "you need to wake up, you've been poisoned….I think…you know this really your thing." Donnie did not respond. Mikey heard footsteps, he turned around, "Leo-" when he looked up it was Foot soldier, he threw something, it hit Mikey in the masked part of his face. Mikey closed his eyes, and when he opened them he could see nothing, he was blind. "Uh Donnie...wake up! I can't see!"
The rain was coming down harder now. "Mikey, what's going on over here?" Leo asked.
"Donnie went rogue and whacked me with his staff, then he collapsed. I found his in his arm," Mikey said raising the dart, "oh and I'm blind."
"Mikey, you can't see?" Leo asked concerned checking his brother over.
Mikey shook his head, "but, Donnie….he's out of it…."
Leo helped Mikey to his feet. Leo kept a hand on his brother's arm so he could guide him, "it's okay, Raph has Donnie-"
"Is-is he okay? I thinks he's been poisoned…." Mikey was frantically trying to get away from Leo.
"Mikey, calm down we will know more when we get back to the lair," Leo said stopping at the edge of the roof. "be careful going down," Leo told his brother as he climbed down the fire escape, "I am going to help Raph get Donnie down, you stay put when you get down there."
Mikey dropped down from the fire escape and landed in a puddle, jumping in puddles was no fun when he could not see anything at all.
Once they were down in the sewer Leo instructed Mikey to keep a hand on his shoulder while he helped Raph carry Donnie.
The four made their way to the lair. Raph and Leo laid Donnie on the couch and Mikey sat down by Donnie's head.
Splinter came over and check Donnie's pulse, it was steady, normal. Donnie moaned softly.
"Sensei how is he?" Mikey asked trying to look at this father.
"He will be fine," Splinter said, "he should be waking up soon. Now let me see your eyes," Splinter said kneeling down in front of Mikey. "Leonardo, could you bring me a flashlight?"
"Check on Donnie! Not me!" Mikey said turning to his brother, for the first time they saw the welt across Mikey's shoulders where Donnie hit him with his bō.
"Michelangelo, you brother will be okay, now we must check on you. You are injured as well" Splinter said trying to sooth his son. "Does this hurt?" he asked gently touching the welt. Mikey pulled back, "Michelangelo how did that happen?"
"Donnie hit me with his bō. His eyes were crazy."
"I see, the poison must have forced him to attack you," Splinter going to touch the welt again, but Mikey turned way, "Raphael I would like you to get me a wet cloth, it will help keep the swelling down." Raph nodded and left just as Leo was coming back.
"Here you go sensei," Leo said handing his father the flashlight, "could it be blinding powder? Like what Karai hit me with?"
"I cannot be sure," Splinter said. He turned to blinded son flashing the light in his eyes to check their movement. "Michelangelo, do you see anything? Outlines, shapes?"
"No, it's all black," Mikey said his voice was dull.
"Very well, we will have to wait to see if it clears up," Splinter said. Raph walked back and dropped the cloth over Mikey's shoulders.
"Th-thanks Raph," Mikey said, even though he could not see his brother he looked to him, "I want to stay with Donnie," he said.
It was early in the morning, the rain was still falling. Mikey was sleeping on the couch. Donnie sat up and rubbed the spot on his arm where the dart hit him.
"Donnie?" Mikey asked waking up, trying to turn to his brother.
"Mikey, you okay?" Donnie asked seeing his brother's awkward movements.
"Me? How about you? Are you okay?" Mikey turned the questions around on his brother.
"Yeah, my arm is sore, but other than that I am okay. What happened last night?" Donnie asked. "I just remember my arm going numb and well, waking up now."
Mikey swallowed hard and started to explain what happened. He did not get very far when Leo walked in.
"Hey Donnie, good to see you wake," Leo said, "how you feeling?"
"Confused," he said
"Guess you know how Mikey feels," Raph laughed joining Leo.
"Hey!" Mikey said defensively, trying to turn towards Raph.
"Mikey, are you okay?" Donnie asked again.
"You still can't see can you?" Leo said.
Donnie's heart dropped, "Mikey, you're blind?" Mikey nodded. Donnie grabbed Mikey by the shoulders to check his brother's eyes, but Mikey winced in pain. Donnie let go of his brother's shoulders, "what happened?"
"You…you…"
"Is that you were trying to say before?" Donnie asked.
"Yeah," Mikey said as Donnie tried to check his brother over, "so Donnie am I going to be blind forever?"
"I don't know," Donnie said.
"But, I need to see." Reality was setting in on Mikey. Now that he knew Donnie was going to be okay, he could really think about his own problems. It had been nearly five hours since he was blinded, he was only blinded for and hour.
"I know Mikey," Donnie said, "I will figure this out."
Mikey jumped up to his feet and ran out of the lair, he knew it so well he could move around blind. Feeling against the familiar sewer wall he found a ladder and climbed up. Mikey sat in the corner of the alley way letting the heavy rain mix with his tears.
