Chapter five

Turtle Power

By Wildfire

Leonardo follows behind his brothers it had been about ten minutes since they had escaped the cell. And they were still in this warehouse. He looks up at Michelangelo . "Mikey? Are you sure this is the right way?" He says in a quite whisper.

Michelangelo looks up, shifting Raph's weight a little bit and nods "yeah it is.. it's a long way but if we go the other way we'd end up fighting and in Raph's current condition I don't think that would be the brightest idea..."

Donatello smiles a little. Michelangelo could take charge when need be, it was just rare that he did.

They all walk in complete silence, for about ten more minutes before they reach an old door. The door had huge wholes in it the wood was worn and splintered. Mikey went through the door than goes to the floor. "This room has an entrance to the sewer... I stumbled upon it by accident when wandering the sewers..." Mikey gently sets Raph down and yanks the sewer top open than climbs down. Donatello gently lowers Raphael down to him. After they were all down in the sewers, Donny looks around and instantly knows where they are and knows they aren't to far from home, maybe five minutes or less. Unfortunately Raph didn't have much longer than five minutes.

Hugging Raph close to him Michelangelo hurries along. He couldn't let Raph die.. Sure he was pushy and a jerk but he was his brother.. and he was the best one to make fun of... He loved Raph.

Leonardo walks behind staring at Raph's limp form in Mickey's arms. During all the fights he had, had with Raph all the injury's... he had never thought he would actually lose Raph.. He couldn't imagine what it would be like with out Raphael's smart ass comments or his horrible attitude in the house.

Donatello gets to their home and jumps down and gently takes Raphael as Mickey lowers him down. Donny instantly takes him to his room where are the medical appliances were kept and stored. He lays Raphael down on his bed and starts digging through his stuff trying to find the right thing to be able to save his brothers life. After grabbing about twenty different things he dumps them all on his night stands and quickly gets to work.

Leonardo sat on the living room couch with Mickey right next to him it had been what seemed like hours, since they had brought Raph home. And Donatello was still in there. Master Splinter had gone to April's to try and get some better medicine. Minutes seemed to be hours and hours were like days but there was no news from behind Donatello's door.

"Mickey?"

"Yeah Leo?"

"You think everything's going to be all right?" Leo asks quietly, he knew there was no way for Mickey to actually know but he needed to be reassured. He was scared and he just needed to be talked to.

"I dono, Leo.. I hope so.. It should be... I hope so cause if Raph doesn't come back to us in full than whom will I make fun of?" Mickey says forcing a smile.

Leonardo smiles he was glad Mike was here with him. No matter the situation he always seemed to try and make it a little bit better.

What seemed like hours later Donny comes out looking tired and a lighter shade of green.

Michelangelo and Leo both stand up. "Don?" Leo says taking a step forward.

"I dono.. I did what I could we'll see if he pulls through the night or night... We can just hope.."

"Hoping and waiting! I hate waiting" Mickey says sitting back down on the couch.

Donny lays a gentle hand on Mickey's shoulder "it will be alright.. Raph's a tough dude.. he won't give in that easy!" Donny sits next to Mickey. "You remember when Raph got all pissy because I had taken the batteries out of his stereo? He had given it to me to fix I lied and said I didn't know why it wasn't working cause I wanted the batteries.." He chuckles a little to himself. "And now..."

"yeah..." Mickey finishes for him with a slight nod. "I remember when I sole the money he was saving for pizza... came back to bite me in the butt though when I found out he was saving it for my Christmas gift.."

Leo laughs a little at that "I remember that.. but if I recall right he got you something anyway.."

"yeah but not what I wanted.." Mike looks over at Raphael's door and sighs than nods "He'll be fine.."

****

"I WANT THEM BACK NOW!" A load crash was heard as a window was shattered. "HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY LET THEM ESCAPE?! I HAD THEM BOTH!!!" Shredder grabs a nearby foot solder and throws him into another "WHO WAS SUPPOSE TO BE WATCHING THEM?!"

A young boy was pushed forward he was shaking. "I'm sorry... I had to.." The boy didn't get another word in as Shredder slit his throat and he fell to the ground "I want those turtles found and KILLED! TODAY!"

The foot solders all scurried around to quickly carry out his orders.

After about five minutes no one was left in the room except Shredder and three foot solders. Shredder gestures for one to come over. "how did they get in?"

"we think through the upper window... following two of are less qualified members, we are currently looking into which two those were.. there are only a few choices.."

The shredder nods accepting that for the truth. "When they are found show them how we deal with sloppy members.. if they mess up again kill them!"

The man nods and resumes where he was standing.

Shredder growls the turtles may have escaped him for now but he'd find and kill them soon and they would pay dearly for this embarrassment!

***

It was late or early it was nearly five in the morning and none of the turtles had slept a wink. Leo laid in a reclining chair staring at the ceiling. Mickey had his head on Donny's shoulder and Donatello was staring straight ahead at nothing.

Splinter comes out of the Raphael's room and all the turtles jerk up. "my sons have you not slept at all?" he doesn't wait for an answer. "Your brother is stable.. but still in grave danger.. I have done everything I can in healing methods.. I believe now the best medicine for him is to be surrounded with his loved ones... but go in one at a time.. when you done I want you to sleep.." his voice was quite yet stern and left no room for argument. He than heads for his own room to sleep and rest.

Leonardo quickly stands up and heads for Raphael's room he enters it and sets next to Raphael's bed. "I just want you safe... please wake up.." Leonardo puts his head in his hands.
Raphael doesn't move or wake he just lays there breathing softly.

After a bit Leo leaves and Mikey goes in and later Donny each one than going to bed but none of them were able to sleep though they just laid there wanting to go back to waiting in the living room. It was some how calmer when in the living room when they were waiting together now they seemed distant and alone.

I know this was horrible short but be glad I was able to update.. -_-" gomen ne on the wait though.
