The trip back to the lair took roughly about seven minutes. Against traffic. On two wheels.
And while Don and his brothers (minus Mikey) and Casey all had thought that they were finally going to meet their makers...it hadn't stopped Mikey's sudden, insane impression of a Nascar driver. In fact their horrified screams had only seemed to encourage Mikey to drive faster. Much, much, faster. So when they finally found themselves in the garage above the lair.
Where they then piled out of the van, each of them grousing and cursing Mikey's sucky driving as they each moved away from the vehicle while Mikey unfastened his seatbelt and climbed out of the van behind them. As Don and Casey more or less raced each other across the garage with the woman and didn't bother waiting for the rest of them as one of them hit the button to go down.
After that, time just seemed to blur for all of them once Don locked himself in his lab with the woman and began treating her. Casey had tried to go with him there at the beginning, but due to the uncertainty of the situation- Don had handed him off to Raph and forbad him from entering until he checked things out a little more thoroughly.
An hour passed. Maybe two. And in that time- to distract each other Raph had engaged Casey in a halfhearted game of pool. Mikey was sitting on the couch staring blankly at the large TV that Don had bought them all for Christmas last year while Leo busied himself with pacing around just a few feet from the couch. A low (and steadily growing in volume) growling sound of annoyance escaping him every few seconds or so.
If he had his way once the woman was treated, he'd kill her for practically pouring salt on their wounds. But knowing Don the way he did (not to mention Casey's current mental state) he doubted that that would go over very well. Besides, Don would kick his ass six ways from sunday if he so much as looked at the woman wrong.
He was still pacing when Mikey finally said something that sort of took all the hot air out of him. Sort of. "You know, I know that gal Don's working on isn't April. Not our April anyways. But what if she's a clone or something? Or a genetic experiment or something. You do recall that two years ago when we were caught by Bishop- he took blood from both April and Casey as well as us."
Okay, now that very idea made the blood in his veins freeze as he thought, Oh shit. What if Mikey was right? What if the woman was a creation of Bishop's that had escaped the labs when they had killed the mad man and destroyed his insane experiments?
And if that was the case... "Don!" Leo bellowed, startling Mikey and the others as he quickly made his way over to the lab door and began to beat on it with his fist. The loud sound of his fist hitting the solid steel door echoed through out the lair as he hit the door several more times and then stood back to wait. After all depending on what Don was doing in there- it might take him a moment or so to come to the door and unlock it.
One minute passed. Then two. And finally when the third began to roll around Don opened the door, his expression dark as he glared at his elder brother and hissed, "What." From between clenched teeth. He had been in the middle of doing an ultra sound to make sure that there was no internal bleeding and no need for surgery. Deciding that it would be far better in the long run to just check rather than to simply dismiss the possibility that the woman had suffered worse wounds than were visible and learn later that he could have done something for her.
"I need you to take a blood sample and compare it against ours and the last sample April gave before she got pregnant. You still have it right?" Leo asked. Don frowned at his brother and wondered about the sudden change in attitude but said nothing about it. Instead his mind wandered to something along the lines of, Why would I need to take blood from the woman and compare it to April's and ours? But nodded in response to his brother's question and then slammed the door closed again and resumed his work with the ultra sound since he still needed to do a few things before he got to the blood part of the exam.
