So sorry for the amount of time it took to update this! My computer was down, along with all my documents. This isnt a very long chapter, but I wanted to at least get something out to you.
A panicked scurrying erupted within the lair as the loud beeping went off. It was no where near the volume of some of their security alarms, but it was still loud enough to be heard for all house hold ears. Don came running out of the kitchen just as Raph emerged from the dojo, and Mikey and Master Splinter from their rooms.
"My son, what is happening?"
"I don't know, it looks like his heart rate has picked up way above average," Don had already run over and shut off the alarm, and turned back to his brother. Leo seemed to be visibly gasping for air, despite his partially unconscious state.
"Donny?" asked Mikey nervously.
"Quiet Mikey, I'm trying to think," Don said, quite firmly.
Leo's breathing was increasing rapidly to an audible pant, much like someone suffering from a seizure.
"What's happening?" Raph panicked as he watched his older brothers body begin to tremble.
"I don't know! This doesn't make any sense!" said Don, checking his pulse.
Just as suddenly as everything had started, it all stopped. Leo's shaking and breathing were no longer rapid and sharp. He lay quite still.
Don paused for only a fraction of a second of a before returning to check his heart rate.
"What's going on? Is he alright? Is he breathing?" Mikey asked. His face had gone pale, and he himself sat on the ground at the foot of the couch, shivering slightly.
"As far as I can tell. His heart rate is back to normal and his breathing's steadied."
There was a momentary silence. Then-
"What the shell was that about? What are we dealing with here?" Raph yelled, making them all jump.
"Raph, I'm only going to ask you once to keep your voice down," replied Don, turning to his livid brother.
"No, I want to know what in the world we are dealing with here. You're the braniac, you know what your doing, so tell us." Raph jabbed his finger firmly into Dons plastron. It was swatted away instantly.
"You cant expect me to have all the answers all the time! I'm not a miracle worker and I'm not God, so lay off!" Dons voice skyrocketed and an icy chill ran down Mikey's spine. He had never, EVER heard his brother snap like that. Sure, he'd snapped a rare, few times before, but never like that. For a second he even thought Rah was going to lunge at Don. His eyes flashed ferociously and his body shook with rage, and he jerked a little bit forward, but he didn't move. A rather confused expression crossed his face. He whipped around to find the hand that was holding him back.
"That's enough Raph." Leo's grip, despite his exhausted state, held firmly to the angry ones wrist.
