With Spider Bytez knocked out and the night saved, the turtle trio high three-ed to a job well done. It didn't take a genius to realize it very late in the night; they all felt worn out, the fight being more challenging than normal thanks to a reduced number of team members. They had prevailed however, and were now heading home to get some well-earned R and R. Michelangelo had been distracted during the fight due to constantly checking his T-phone which, luckily, he could do when running away from a giant spider. April hadn't answered any of his texts lately but according to Leonardo, the teen girl had reported that Donatello was in a happier, stable condition.

Maybe it was the fatigue but the walk back to the sewer's lair felt longer than normal. Michelangelo checked his t-phone again, not seeing any messages. "You guys think they are okay?"

"Geeze, you've been checking that thing all night! It's a good thing Leo and I can take Spider Bytez by ourselves because other than bait, you've been checked out." Raphael replied as he stuck his hands behind his head as Michelangelo just looked at his phone again. Like the rest of his family, he was worried about their brother's condition but trusted April enough to call if there was any problems.

"Raph…" Leonardo replied with a warning tone before turning to his little brother in orange, "Master Splinter is in the lair with them, if there was a problem April knows to get him. You shouldn't worry so much."

Raphael lowered his arms and smirked as the group turned into a tunnel, "Donnie-boy is probably in Heaven right now with April taking care of him. He probably has her so busy that she can't touch the phone."

"You think so?"

"Sure! He's probably milking it and making April spoon feed him as we speak! I wouldn't be surprised if we walked in on Donnie acting like a baby."

Leonardo rolled his eyes at his normally tougher younger brother. He knew that the red banded turtle was only saying this in an attempt to distract Michelangelo for the moment, but did he have to say such ridiculous things? Donatello was ill, but there is no way he would treat April in such a way and even if he tried, April would not put up with it.

Michelangelo grinned, "I doubt April is as good of a cook as I am! After all, who was the inventor of deep fried chocolate covered marshmallow pizza rolls hmm?" It was working though. The turtle in orange felt better and was acting like his old self, stopping every once and awhile to check out things that felt through the sewer grates.

"Once you took out the pepperoni and peppers, it was actually pretty good." Leonardo admitted as they approached the entrance of the lair. "If it wasn't so late I actually wouldn't mind eating of them right now. Who knew it would take so long to track down Spider Bytez?"

"Well, that's one pounding that the ugly bug is not going to recover from any time soon." Raphael bragged as he stopped at the entrance of the turnstiles. He felt pretty proud of his fighting tonight and wasn't shy about expressing it.

Leonardo nodded tiredly as he stopped by Raphael, "Hopefully he'll think twice before terrorizing the neighborhood again. It's a shame we couldn't collect a sample for Donnie though. It might have helped in his recovery." He yawned a bit before stretching. "Though, April said that he seemed to be in a better mood and wasn't suffering from any side effects as badly when she first got there, so that good."

Once Michelangelo caught up, the group jumped over the turnstiles. Approaching the rec room, they noticed two figures on the couch facing a blank screen, indicating that movie they have been watching was long since over and currently in power saving mode. April and Donatello were fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket, their heads resting against the couch but facing each other, inches from the opposite person. Michelangelo just tilted his head to the side, looking at the couple on the couch as his brothers only looked at each other.

"Should we wake them?" Raphael asked their leader as he turned off the television and movie player.

"Donnie needs the rest and it's not like April hasn't slept here before; I don't see the problem." Leonardo replied, too tired to really protest.

Raphael only shrugged his shoulders, "Whatever." The older brothers both turned to head to their own rooms respectively.

Michelangelo however, didn't head to bed so quickly. An idea popped into his head and quickly ran to his room. Not surprisingly, it wasn't very clean and many comics, video games and other childish things were scattered around the room. He dove under his bed, trying to find the object he desired, but had no such luck.

"Where was it last…?" Michelangelo spoke aloud before a light bulb went off in his head. With great speed, the orange banded turtle headed towards Donatello's lab. Pausing at the door's frame, he glanced around the room before seeing his treasured item. Grabbing it, he carefully tip-toed back to the couple on the couch and held up what he had been searching for.

An old fashion instant camera.

Making sure the flash was on, Michelangelo lifted the device to his eyes and focused. A bright flash went off and the whirring of the film processing sounded as the device spit out a gray photo. He removed it and set the camera down as he shook the photo, waiting for it to process. As the picture became clearer, the ninja grinned at it.

"Mikey?" a tired voice called out. Donatello had been woken up by the flash of the camera. He stirred and sat up on the couch.

Sticking the evidence behind his back, Michelangelo turned to face his injured brother. "Good morning sleepyhead!" He replied enthusiastically, but quietly enough not to wake the sleeping girl. "It looks like you have a fun night." He gestured towards April who had slipped closer to the mutant and was now resting on him.

"Huh?" the half asleep teenager groaned out, trying to focus. He looked to his side and saw the red headed beauty asleep on him. His face flared up in embarrassment he felt himself go hot. Another bright flash went off and Donatello turned to see his younger brother waving a photo that he just took. "Mikey!" He growled out quietly as he started to adjust April in order to get up, only to feel pain in his right leg, reminding him that he was injured. "Give me that photo," He demanded.

The younger turtle only grinned as he showed both pictures to Donatello, "Poor Donnie, can't stop Dr. Prankenstien from taking totally embarrassing photos. Awww look, you're drooling, maybe I'll show April these when she wakes up."

"Mikey…" the turtle in purple growled out before freezing as he felt April move against him. He carefully turned to look at the sleeping beauty. When she didn't budge again he relaxed and started to turn back to the prankster.

Another flash went off and Donatello was temporarily blinded as his eyes tried to adjust to the sudden bright light. He rubbed his eyes frantically to see, but as soon as he could, he realized that the young ninja took his blindness as an advantage to escape.

"Smart thinking Mikey…" Donatello had to admit. He was amazed that April had not woken up during this whole ordeal but he had to be grateful for that. For now, Michelangelo had the upper hand and was sure he would use it as blackmail, but Donatello had a few ideas up his sleeve on how to get back to get back at his younger brother.

Relaxing back against the couch, he looked at the teen next to him and smiled at her beautiful sleeping form, taking in the moment. In a way, he was glad he was awake to see it and wish this moment could last longer. Making a mental note to scan the photos to his computer before destroying them in remembrance of the night, Donatello adjusted the blanket around the two of them, closed his eyes and allowed himself to enjoy what moment they did have.
