Dammit, this was supposed to be a one shot! Well, now it's a chapter story XD
Thanks to all of you in here and on Tumblr who wanted me to continue the story.

I don't own TMNT...

"Hey pal, how's Leo doing?" Raph enters the living room, carrying a freezing Mikey in his arms.

"Not good, he's dehydrating." Donnie answers with a frown. Raph put Mikey down besides the warm fire place, and then sits down besides the taller turtle.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"There's a bathtub upstairs, we need to get him up there, but we have to be really careful. He's in a dangerously bad shape, one wrong move and we might kill him."

"That's a big responsibility you're throwing at me bro." Raph unintended snares.

"Don't worry Raph, it's not that far..." Both brothers looks up at the sick unconscious body lying in front of them.

"But what about the bandages and patches? Aren't they gonna, you know, fall off?" Raph worries.

"Yeah, but he isn't bleeding that much anymore. I'll deal with it as soon as he's safe and sound in the tub."

"But we have no water, remember?"

"I managed to fix the shower a bit earlier, I had the feeling we might end up needing it..."

The red clad turtle isn't sure whether it's a good idea or not, but the sudden groan that managed to escape the leaders mouth prompted him to make his decision. "Okay, let's do this. You take the legs, I'll take the upper part."

"Right, just be really careful." They stands up and takes hold of each end, and slowly lifts him off the couch.

"You got him?"

"Yeah, he isn't that heavy, I think we're good." The two starts to move him out of the living room.
Mikey slowly stands up, his legs are shaking, and his head feels heavy, but he has to know what's gonna happen next. He starts to follow, but Donnie manages to stop him.

"Mikey, I'm not sure following us is such a good idea." Raph advises.

"B-but I have to be sure Leo makes it, he's my brother too you know."

"I know, but you need to stay down here. The fire will help you get some body heat back."

"Raph's right, we can't risk you getting hypothermia."

"But-"

"No buts, if you wanna help, then go get April, We'll need to eat something soon. " Donnie acknowledged.

"But wait till your feet is less bluish okay." Raph orders, and Mikey accepts it and stays behind, simply looking their way, as they slowly leave with his big brother in their arms.

"Get well soon Leo..." He simply whispers as he sits back down, and continues to look into the burning flames.

...

It was a minor fight getting up the stairs, but in the end it succeeded. Raph slowly opens the bathroom door by using his elbow, then uses his back to push it forward.

They enters an carefully puts Leo in the bathtub.

"How warm would you like it to be?" Raph asks, as he turn the water on.

"Lukewarm." Don answers as he unties the bandage tied around his stomach.

"You need a hand with that?"

"To untie the bandages? No, I got it, but I could use some help fixing him up. If you can find a soft sponge, then you may start cleaning some of the wounds." Raph gets up and starts looking. He started by opening the cabinet just above the sink, but there were nothing but dust.

"Hey Don, you having any idea where to find one?"

"I think April mentioned something about a closet in the hall, you might find one out there." Raph gives out a weak groan as he leaves the bathroom to enter the hall for the second time.

"Are you kidding me Donnie? There's no closet out here." Raph snarled at his brother from the doorframe.

"Then try the doors, it might be a walk in closet or something." Donnie snarled back.

The red clad turtle then opened every door, getting more and more frustrated as they all led into bedrooms.

"Okay, if I were a sponge, where would I be hiding... The kitchen?" Raph finally got an idea and ran down the stairs, almost tripping over his own feet. He was just about to enter the kitchen, when he heard Mikeys voice.

"Eww April, are you even sure this is eatable? It smells yucky!"

"Yeah Mikey, I promise you, canned food is totally edible."

"And you're sure we won't get sick by it?"

"I'm one hundred percent sure."

The red clad turtle couldn't help but let out a faint smile, before finally entering.

"Hey you two, do you know where to find a soft sponge."

"Yeah, how big do you want it to be?" Mikey asks with a mischievous smile.

"Uhm, I don't think that really matters."

"What color then?"

"Mikey, it doesn't matter, I just need a soft sponge."

"A yellow one then, or do you prefer a red one, maybe blue? Oh, purple!"

"What the shell Mikey, just give it to me already!" Raph is starting to get annoyed, but can't help but smile at how happy his little brother is, despite all the setbacks they're facing, he still tries to keep his head up. No one had as much as smiled for that short amount of time they had been there, so the orange clad turtles sudden happiness was highly appreciated.

"Okay okay, no reason to get all moody, we got an entire kitchen cabinet filled with those things." Mikey opens the said cabinet, and out flies a bunch of small different colored sponges. Mikey picks up a yellow one and tosses it at Raph. It managed to hit his nose before he catches it.

"Thanks, you have no idea how hard this thing was to find."

"That's obvious since it's been down here the whole time. You've just been looking the wrong places bro." Mikey answered amused.

"Well I'll head back upstairs."

"Sure,tell Donnie the dinner's ready soon, since we don't really have anything but canned food and cereal without milk."

"That's alright, I'm not really hungry anyway."

Back in the bathroom, Raph finally arrives. Donnie had managed to pull every single patch off of Leo's sticky skin, and was now busy cleaning his shell and plastron with a bath brush.

"You found it?"

"Yeah I found it." Raph sat down and started cleaning a wound on his throat. "By the way, Mikey wanted me to tell you that dinner's ready in a minute."

"Aww, don't talk about food, it feels like my stomach is turning inside out in hunger."

"Then go eat something, I'll keep an eye on him in the meantime."

"I-I don't know Raph, what if something happens, I have to be here in case-"

"No Donnie, you've been at his side for hours now, you need a break." Donnie was about to protest, but halted when he saw the look in his brothers eyes. "Okay, just keep those wounds clean, if something happens, please tell me."

"Don't worry, nothings gonna happen to fearless..."

Donnie leaves the bathroom, and Raph is finally alone.

"Never again Leo, I promise..."
