Part 4. Resistance

Despite that it took all his speed and agility to avoid Raph's attack as he run past him, jumped forward and knocked down Leo with his bo. Not the hardest, but definitely very efficient and accurate strike. Having grunted deeply, leader fell back on his shell. Not wasting any time Don grasped Mikey's wrist and pulled him to the lab's direction, while their senior brother laid on the floor, trying to focus his gaze and shaking his head in a small stun. He was out of action for some time, but unfortunately there was another problem.

Bigger problem. Literally.

Raph stood in front of the lab's door, watching every Don's move with his eyes narrowed. There was no possible way to avoid him. Breathing deeply, hothead growled quietly and Don stopped for a moment, still holding Mikey's hand. Genius assessed the situation. They could fight, of course, but Leo's stun wasn't eternal, so Donatello couldn't let wasting time. He and Mikey won't stand long against both elder brothers. It was necessary to think of something. And quick.

Hearing Leo's groan behind them, Donnie understood that unfortunately they wouldn't able to manage their way to lab together. Violet-clad terrapin threw one quick glance on Mikey. The youngest of the clan was scared, embarrassed and confused. He definitely wasn't ready for what was going on. Not that Donatello himself was, but at least genius realized what happened with their siblings and why they acted like that. But that didn't change the point that Mikey didn't deserve being taken by one of them against his own will. Don just couldn't let this happen, after all, with both elder brothers out of their mind, he was the one to answer for the youngest.

"To my lab!" Donnie whispered sharply.

With these words he pushed orange-clad terrapin away from him and moved in the opposite direction. As expected, Raph jumped to him, leaving the way free, and Mikey took his chance to run inside the lab. A moment later he appeared in the aperture and flinched as he saw Raphael blocking Don's strike and knocking out bo from his hands. When dark green fingers had grabbed genius's wrists Mikey jerked to help, but stopped immediately at the loud shout.

"No!" Donatello yelled. "Get back and close the door!"

But how could Mikey do that after the way Donnie had saved him? He noticed that all Raph's attention had been focused upon genius, who kept on struggling, though it seemed to be an idle attempt against larger turtle's strength. It was a chance! Mikey run past them as fast as he could, picked up Don's bo and raised his hand to blow a strike and knock down elder brother. He didn't want to see what Raphael intended to do with Donatello.

Unfortunately, the same trick rarely can be used twice. Especially, when you're dealing with ninjas.

Pushing Don away sharply and tripping him up to make fall down, Raph dodged the attack, turned and grasped Mikey's forearm. And before youngest terrapin could do something, he was sent into a short, but very fast flight towards the opposite wall. Donatello gasped, when Mikey reached the destination with a slight moan and fell on the floor. At least it was a relief that Raphael didn't use his full strength. It was more like he just shook off some annoying insect of his hand. Maybe elder brother was able to control himself a bit after all.

Donnie didn't have enough time to think about it though. Strong hand took hold of his wrist once again and forced to get up. Sharp turn and a second later he was pushed to the corner of the room and pressed to the wall by Raph's weight. Dark green mutant gazed at his catch with strong and obvious hunger in his eyes and that caused shivers to run down Donnie's spine.

"Raph… listen… You don't want to hurt me, right?" Donatello tried to make his voice sound convincing and calm.

But golden orbs flickered almost hypnotizing, and their expression was telling that yes, their master wanted to 'hurt' Donnie, he wanted to 'hurt' him right now and he wanted to 'hurt' him so badly…

"L-let go off me, and… I'll h-help you…" Don struggled with words as fear once again started to fill him. "I'll think of s-something… You and Leo…"

Next moment he realized that it wasn't such a good idea mentioning their leader's name. Raphael frowned sharply, his eyes flashed with anger and his fingers clenched on Don's wrist even tighter, making violet masked ninja let out quiet painful hiss. Larger terrapin didn't say anything – probably, his state was an obstacle to that – but Donatello got the message without much difficulty.

Raph was jealous.

Don's breath caught in his throat. Least of all he wanted to anger hothead now. But Donnie didn't manage to process the following situation, because Raphael suddenly growled very low, leaned forward and pressed his lips to Don's. Well, that was definitely unexpected… And it was even more unexpected when Raph took the advantage of surprise and confusion and pushed his tongue into brother's mouth.

Looked like those shivers in genius's spine called for back up, and now there was a whole army of them, marching through his body. Feeling that wet and warm tongue caressing and exploring his insides, Donatello found himself incapable to resist this brother's 'attack'. He closed his eyes, listening to sensations and failing to hold unexpected moan as Raphael's hand slid down his side and rubbed olive thigh.

Did he really… enjoy this somehow? Donnie didn't want to confess it, but he simply couldn't deny it, he was never the one to deny reality… Besides, Raph smelled somehow… different, just like Leo before. But hothead's scent was more forceful, sharp and even piercing, it was almost... irresistible. Of course, it was the effect of his specific state, but Don didn't care at the moment. He almost forgot about it, continuing to melt in those powerful hands, as their movements and touches became more direct and insistent…

Loud scream jerked Donatello from his stun. He opened his eyes sharply to see Leo drugging their youngest brother across living room to his bedroom. Leader forced both siblings' arms behind his back, holding them fiercely, and snorted heavily. Whimpering quietly, Mikey desperately tried to free himself, but this time Leonardo was focused and determined to get what he wanted. And he definitely wasn't going to let go off his catch.

Blue eyes were filled with tears. And because of their pleading glance Don's brain started working properly once again.

He broke the kiss, ignoring displeased growl from Raphael, and touched his lips to dark green shoulder. Sniffing a bit surprised, hothead waited for the continuation. Donnie mentally asked brother's forgiveness for what he was going to do and then fiercely bit warm skin, feeling the taste of blood in his mouth. Having roared at the sharp pain, Raphael jerked and instinctively stepped back.

And that was exactly what Donnie needed. He ducked down, jumped forward, avoiding Raph's hands, and rushed towards Leo, not wasting precious seconds to look back. There was only one coherent thought in his mind as he clearly realized that Leonardo was quite pissed off after the strike and Raphael wasn't very happy with that bite either. It was useless and, probably, even dangerous to fight them now or do anything that would make them more discontent with their chosen mates; there was no possible help from outside and it was no use in appealing to brother's common sense, so genius intended to use last thing he had at his disposal.

Raph's jealousy.

Having stopped, Leo watched over Don's approach with narrowed eyes, he seemed to be a little curious about what he intended to do. Violet-clad terrapin tried not to pay attention to heavy breathing behind as he continued running in leader's direction; he just couldn't be distracted and let Raphael catch him. Fortunately, the distance wasn't that long. With last jump genius reached Mikey, who was still trapped in elder brother's arms. It seemed like Leonardo didn't take Don as some threat, but when genius grasped orange masked ninja and tried to pull him out of strong embrace, senior brother did exactly what Donatello expected him to do - he growled discontentedly and blew quick strike to knock him down.

As in Raph's case punch wasn't very hard, more like warning, but Donnie collapsed on the floor with loud groan, having caught a bit confused look from Leo.

Genius hoped he acted convincing. And judging by angry roar from behind, he succeeded in this. All he had to do now was sit and watch how pissed off Raphael was going to tear apart the one who dared to harm his chosen mate.

Trying to suppress stings of conscience and repeating that he had no other options, Donatello crawled away as frowning Leonardo had pushed Mikey to the side before Raphael jumped on him with low grunt. In a moment elder brothers became growling and hissing mass of muscles, battling and rolling all over the room, as they tried to overpower one another. Not very pleasant view…

Violet masked ninja flinched, feeling soft touch to his shoulder, but it was Mikey. Youngest of the clan helped him get up and suddenly hugged him tightly.

"Thanks, Donnie…" Mikey whispered hardly audible.

Smiling slightly, Donatello stroke his head in attempt to comfort little brother.

"It's ok…" Genius muttered quietly although he knew that it wasn't actually true. "Let's get back to my lab. I have an idea."

Mikey only nodded not saying anything. He shivered deeply, but it wasn't surprising under the circumstances. Having sighed, Donnie took hold of his hand and made their way to the lab as fast as he could. Fortunately this time Leo and Raph were so busy with each other, that this escape was completely unnoticed. Listening to their growls and grunts, Donatello hoped desperately that this time one of them would knock out another and make his task a little easier.

Having closed metal lab door behind them, Don let go of his brother and let out long and deep sigh.

They were safe.

For now.
