"If only..." Raph's eyes went wide and he dropped his fork full of delicious pancakes. He quietly slipped his eyes around his three brothers and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief when they didn't respond.
"I miss Leo, D..." Mikey cast his eyes downwards to his empty plate.
"I do too." Donnie glared at his white coated plate. He had to stay strong. For Mikey. "But it's ok Mikey! He'll get better, he always have." He propped his head up on his hand as he gave a smile to Mikey. But it quickly dropped. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of that annoying sickening feeling.
It wasn't as if the turtles ever got sick. They always had some sort of flue in the winter when their body tempter weakened because of the bitter cold.
Suddenly Donnie's poor heart did flips in his stomach and he covered his mouth.
"You ok there Donnie? Your looking kind of pale." Raph leaned into the table.
Mikey turned his heavy head to look at his brother and gave a cry!
Donnie could feel the colour in his usually green skin fade and his tongue clung to the roof of his mouth. But it was all so sudden!
"Y-ya. I'm fine!" Donnie snapped as his jaw tightened. He couldn't show any weakness!
"Are you su-"
"Yes! Now leave me alone! Focus on something else for once!" Donnie clenched his fist and his mouth pressed into a thin white line. His body moved up and down like a sea of waves and his eyes fogged.
Raph hitched his breath, his eyes narrowing into small little slits.
"I was trying to be nice!"
"Well stop trying." Donnie pushed his plate away and slid his chair away from the table.
"Where are you going...?" Mikey whimpered, slowly slinking down into his chair.
"Away. I need to get Leo back on his feet." Donnie gave a apologetic frown to Mikey before sauntering off.
"Fine! Go stomp away and wake up the entire city of New York! I won't be there to save you." Raph rolled his eyes a hiss slithering out of his mouth.
Mikey jumped sky high as Raph smashed his fist onto the table.
"Please, Raph, can you calm down?" Mikey whispered eyeing Raph from across the table.
"What do you mean?! Of corse I'm calm!" Raph growled and stormed off.
Mikey looked down at his empty plate then to where Leo always used to sit... He sniffed and rubbed his wet nose.
"Why...? It seems as though everything is falling apart. And it's all because your not here. Please Leo! I need you to come back!" His cheeks grew wet and his eyes turned a bright red.
After a good cry, he picked up his plate and put in in the sink along with Donnie's and Raph's.
Mikey figured he should visit Donnie and Leo. He just didn't want to anger Donnie any more than he already was. So he went with his instincts and he knocked on the lab doors.
"What is it Mikey? I don't have time for you right now." Donnie opened the door and stuck his head out, a frown deepening on his face.
"I-I figured I could help."
"You can't help with this Mikey." Donnie pulled on the door and it started to slide close.
"Come on D! I'm doing nothing!" Mikey pleaded, using his puppy dog eyes.
Donnie groaned and rolled his neck. "Fine. Come in."
"Yay!" Mikey bounced inside the lab but screeched to a halt at what he saw. "Leo...?"
Beads of sweat pored down Leo's brow and his face grew steadily a sickly green.
"What's happening to him?" Mikey whispered slowly stepping forwards.
"I don't know. I've been working at a cure for him, but so far everything that I've given him he ether heaves up or spits out his mouth." Donnie explained.
"But, why?"
"I don't know." Donnie gave a painful sigh as he pressed his hand to Leo's forehead only to suddenly jerk it away!
"Take this bowl and fill it with clean water. I need to find the thermometer quick!" Donnie quickly shoved the bowl into Mikey's face before searching the cupboards for the lone thermometer.
While Mikey zoomed out the lab and to the kitchen working quickly to get the bowl under the tap of warm water. "Hurry!" Came D's frantic voice.
A few minutes later Mikey came in with the bowl in hand, praying that Leo would be ok...
When Donnie looked at Leo's pain ridden face, he saw fear. Fear that laced his sweaty face.
"What's his tempter D?" Mikey asked, coming up from behind.
"33° C / 91.4° F" Donnie sighed, rubbing his own sweat off his brow with his shaky hand. "Five ° over. It could be worse. Do you have the bowl I requested?"
"Ya. Here it is." Mikey passed it to him and Donnie stretched his hand to take it. But just as he was about to, Leo gave a shout and shot up. The bowl slipped out of passing fingers and water swooshed all over.
"Leo! Are you ok?! Can you hear me?!" Donnie ran to his leader and gripped his shoulder.
"Leo!" Mikey cried aloud.
"Get away from me! You monster!" Leo screamed and clawed at Donnie.
"Leo...?" Mikey whimpered as tears filled his baby blue eyes. He folded his hands together and brought it up to his chest.
"Wait! Leo! It's me!" Donnie backed up a bit.
"Get away!" Finally all anger left fearless, but what replaced it was just as horrifying. Leo huddled in a ball, small whimpers escaping his mouth.
"Leo. It's just me and Mikey..." Donnie soothed. He hugged Leo and rubbed his shell, but still whimpers escaped.
"What's going on here?" Raph looked into the room squinting his eyes so he could see. He pushed the door farther and walked in. "What happened?"
"I don't know...everything was ok until he suddenly screamed and then he called D a monster." Mikey pressed his arms together and looked at his chest.
"Is he ok now, Donnie?" Raph folded his arm and cocks his head.
"That's the thing, he passed out again. It seems as though he can't stay awake much longer that three minutes." Donnie scratched his head.
"Um, guys! We have a problem!" Mikey's eyes went wide and he pointed outside the lab doors.
"What?!" Donnie and Raph both responded at once anger playing on their face.
"Master Splinter! April! What are we going to tell them?!" Mikey hopped on one foot.
"Guys! We're back!" April's voice echoed through out the lair. The boy's eyes go wide...
Thanks for reading! Snow fun has left the building!
