Okay I wasn't sure I should post this last bit but decided to go with it any ways. Once again I own nothing.


After spending half an hour on the couch Donnie finally let Raph go to work off some of his anger with his punching bag.

'Man when I get my hands on Mikey...' Raph's thoughts trailed off as he heard a slight noise near the doorway. Spinning around in one liquid motion Raph saw his baby brother standing there.

All of Raph's anger melted at the sight of his baby brother. Mikey was leaning heavily against the dojo door frame his right arm cradled against his chest. Raph rushed to Mikey's side just in time to catch him as his knees began to buckle.

"Mikey! What s wrong?" Raph asked worriedly.

Mikey ignored Raph's question and looked at his brother with pain glazed sapphire eyes. "Raph I'm sorry for that stupid prank earlier. I didn't mean to hurt you-"

"Hurt!" Raph interrupted. "I ain't the one that looks like death warmed over. What happened!" Raph demanded.

"Donnie..." Mikey replied quietly his voice trailing off.

"Donnie! He did this to you." Raph asked shocked that their gentlest brother could hurt Mikey so badly. Sure he could kick shell like the rest of us but he only got physical against their enemies like the purple dragons or the foot, never against family outside of the dojo.

"It's not Donnie's fault. He thought I was really attacking you... That I had actual killed you." Mikey said defending his genius brother's actions.

"Let me look at that arm." Raph ordered.

Mikey managed to hold still as Raph prodded his arm. When his brother reached a certain spot, Mikey choked back a scream. He pulled away from his brother with tears in brimming in his blue eyes which he quickly brushed them away with his good hand, while he tried to keep the intense pain at bay. Mikey hadn't realized how badly hurt he was until euphoria from the prank wore off.

"Shhh... Shell I'm sorry, Mikey." Raph whispered, looking anxiously at his baby brother. We're going to need Donnie to set this.

Mikey looked at Raph nervously, "Maybe we shouldn't bother him."

"Why shouldn't we go to him?" Raph asked.

"He's probably still mad at me for what I did." Mikey murmured.

"Mikey, it's Donnie. He doesn't hold grudges and he probably doesn't realized how bad he hurt you or you would've been in the infirmary already." Raph said gruffly.

Raph reached down and grabbed his brother's good arm and helped him to his feet. As Mikey straighten up he hissed in pain, nearly doubling over in on himself.

"Mikey, you okay bro." Raph asked his amber eyes full of concern.

"Fine," Mikey said between clenched teeth, "Donnie just gave me a love tap in the chest."

Raph pulled Mikey's good arm over his shoulders to help support Mikey's weight as they slowly walked to the closed Lab door. When they reached the door Mikey hesitated again.

"Do you want me to talk to him first," Raph asked Mikey.

Mikey nodded too scared of Donnie's reaction to say anything. Raph reached up and knocked hard against the door.

"Go away!" Donnie yelled through the closed door.

"Donnie, open up this is important." Raph retorted.

After a few seconds they heard a click and Donnie poked his head out of the door. At first he saw Raph then he noticed Mikey partially hidden behind him.

"I'm busy, Raph. What do you want?" Donnie asked still a little bit angry with his youngest brother.

"We need your help," Raph said as he stepped aside to expose Mikey. Donnie's eyes got the size of saucers as he took in Mikey's swollen right arm that was doubled in size and his slight bent posture as he breathed raggedly through clenched teeth.

"Mikey! Awww shell did I do this to you?" Donnie asked as he reached Mikey's side and gently escorted him to the infirmary cot that was in one corner of the Lab and helped his brother sit down.

"Raph, watch him for a moment." Donnie ordered as he went to fetch the medical supplies.

After a few moments Donnie returned with his arms full and one hand holding a needle. Mikey's eyes widened at the sight of the needle.

"It's okay, Mikey," Donnie said gently as he prepared to inject the needle's contents into Mikey, "it's just a very strong pain killer so I can fix your arm."

After Donnie was finish fixing Mikey up and he was laying comfortable in the cot. Mikey said in a sad drowsy voice as Donnie was preparing to leave, "I'm sorry for everything, bro."

"Shhh... Mikey I shouldn't have hit you so hard in the first place. Get some sleep okay." Donnie said gently as he flicked off the lights hearing soft snoring coming from the bed.

"How is the knucklehead?" Raph as dourly.

"He's got a few broken ribs and his arm is badly broken in two places. It'll be while before he's fully healed." Donnie said sadly.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened," Raph said gently, "You thought he actually hurt me if not killed me out right."

"I know but I shouldn't have hit him so hard." Donnie said morosely.

"Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts." Raph quoted quietly.

"When did you start listening to Splinter?" Donnie asked, his voice filled with awe.

"Some things did get through now and then." Raph replied with a big smirk on his face.

"Thanks, bro." Donnie said.

"Anytime, bro." Raph said giving Donnie a one armed hug.


The End!
