Leonardo closed the door to the lab, instantly the sounds of Mikey's respirator and the gentle whirring of the other machines were cut off and the lair was once again silent...Splinter sat in there with his youngest son, taking his turn while Donny got some sleep...
"How is he?"
Raphs low growl reached him across the room..
"Not good...he's still in a coma...He almost died Raph..."
"You think I dont know that? I was there! same as you"
Leo shook his head and looked back at the door, they had almost lost him...they had almost lost Mikey...
"We can't have this Raph..."
"Are you blaming-?"
"No..I'm not ..."
There was something in his brothers voice, something dark...Raph squented at Leo... From here he was just a black figure in the gloom...
After a moment Leo spoke...
" we can't let this happen Raph...we have to take him out...now...before he can hurt this family any more..."
It took him a second to realize what Leo had just said...
Raphs eyes narrowed.
" my thoughts exactly..."
"Me and you... We can end this...together..."
Leo started towards the dojo...he returned a moment later, swords in hand...
"for Mikey.."
Raph gripped his sai , coming to stand beside his elder brother...
"For Mikey..."
Both new this was suicide mission...both of them knew they might never see their family again...but there was no other way...it was worth it...if they could keep the others safe...it would all be worth it...
