As I promised, here's another chapter.
I was surrounded by the darkness. It wasn't threatnin' or anythin' like that. In fact, it was quite welcoming. Then I saw a white light that looked far away but in came closer every few seconds. When it got closer I started to feel pain. At first it was dull and I barely noticed it but now it is too strong for me. It felt overpowering, I heard voices in the background. Then I realized it was the voices of my family and friends.
I opened my eyes to see that I was lying on a cot in Donnie's lab/infirmary with someone staring at me. Said person was sitting in a chair. Once it realized that I was awake, it jumped out of the chair and hugged me. "Thank god you're awake," Case said as he started to cry. I winced as his body crushed my bandaged ribs. Case then looked at me and let go. "Oh man I am so sorry, I'll go and get the others." He said.
I started to move my arms to sit up but one of them felt odd. I looked down and saw that my left arm was in a cast. /Damn/ I thought to myself. Ape, Master Splinter, Leo, Mikey, Donnie, and Case all came in. They looked like they hadn't slept for a while. "Raph," Ape said as she swung her arms around my neck and gave me big hug while crying.
"What's goin' on?" I asked, my words were probably slurred and raspy from waking up and being strangled earlier.
"My son," Master Splinter said while looking me straight in the eyes so I could see if he's lyin' to me, "do you remember the fight with the Shreadder?" I nodded. "Well tell me, what is the last part you remember before falling unconscious."
"I remember the fight, getting strangled by the bastard, and thrown in the air, but after that, nothin'," I told them, as my voice got clearer. I watched Leo, Donnie and Mikey flinch as I mentioned about getting thrown. "Why what happened after that?" I could tell that they new something that they weren't telling me.
"As you see Raphael, your brothers are not too comfortable talking about this," Master Splinter said, motioning at them. /Yeah but why?/ I thought. As if he was reading my mind he continued talking, "from what they have told us, we know that you were indeed thrown in the air, but while you fell towards the floor of the roof, they were trying to get to you because there was a bomb in the building," my eyes widened when Master Splinter said that, "but they were a bit too far away and they couldn't reach you fast enough, your body hit the floor, your lower part of your right leg twisted and broke in three places," I looked around the room just to see that all of their eyes were downcast. "But as they ran the bomb was ticking and went off while they were running."
"Um, can I get a drink before I hear the rest of this," I asked, suddenly I was dying for a drink. Master Splinter nodded to me. "Thanks." I started to get up but everyone jumped up and pushed me back down, and I mean everyone.
"We'll get you a drink," Donnie said as he left.
"You need to lay down and rest," Leo ordered, "Mikey, April, and Casey will keep you company while we are gone." Just as he left, I heard the door lock.
"So, whatta do" Case said while sitting on the edge of the bed 'cause Ape had the chair and Mikey was lying on the floor. "Whatta do," he kept saying over and over again.
All of a sudden Mikey started to grin madly, and not a funny grin but the type I get when I'm plannin' something bad for Leo or Mikey. "I have an idea Casey," Mikey said mischievously as he stood up still grinnin' like there was no tomorrow, "but you're probably not up for it."
"You know me Mike," Case said standing up also, "I never give up a idea if it's a good one." They both stood and looked each other in the eyes.
"Alright, we can... wrestle!!!" Mikey yelled the last part as he tackled Case over one of Donnie's tables. Ape looked really worried. She probably thought that they were going to break something of Donnie's and get hurt.
"We should stop them," I said as I started to get back up. I got about half way out before Ape spoke up.
"I'll take care of them you need to relax." She tried to push me back in the bed, but I resisted.
"You can take down Mikey but probably not him and Case," I said still getting up.
"Fine," Ape said finally giving up, "but how do I take down Mikey?" She and I both looked at them to see that they had broken mostly all of Donnie's tables, vials filled with chemicals, bookshelves, and equipment. There were live wires everywhere.
"Simple," I replied calmly while smiling, "you tell him that if he doesn't quit it that he doesn't get any pizza, TV, or videogames for two months." Ape nodded and started to take down Mikey but stopped and looked at me.
"How will you deal with that hockey loving idiot?" She asked me curiously.
I replied with a simple answer, one that she should have seen coming but didn't, "Grab him and put him in a headlock."
"WHAT?!" Ape yelled as loud as I thought she could. "You cant, you're injured and in pain, that will hurt you more than you are hurt now."
"Not if he doesn't flip me over like an omelet," I said half joking, but I knew that I had a very high chance of being flipped if Case wasn't expecting it. "Don't worry 'bout it." We both went over to them. Mikey was chasing Case around the room. As I snuck up on Case I heard Ape yelling at Mikey. I snickered lightly so Case couldn't hear me. The moron was still running around. If Donnie had a smaller lab he would have seen that Mikey had stopped.
Not waiting for him to stop to see Mikey, I ran behind him and grabbed him around the neck with my good arm. But before I could put my other arm around his neck and lock his arms, or say stop, he grabbed my arm and flipped me onto a non-broken table. I was slightly stunned 'cause my head hit the floor pretty hard when I broke through the table. In a ton of pain I heard Case talk. "Take that Mike," he said not seeing the color of my bandana yet.
"Damn," I mumbled as I tried to move but was in too fatigued and in way too much pain. I looked up and saw Case staring at me with wide eyes. Luckily, Ape was still yelling at Mikey so she didn't see me on the floor.
"Oh shit Raph, I'm so sorry," he said in a worried voice, as he helped me up. "I thought you were Mikey, damn did I hurt you?" When I was fully standing, my knees buckled and I started to fall but Case held me up.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine in a little," I said starting to be able to stand again. Ape must've seen me struggling to stand 'cause in a heartbeat, she and Mikey were at my side. I saw her and Mikey look concerned at me.
"What happened to him?" Ape asked Case as she, Mikey, and Case all kept me from falling over. Case looked at the ground and muttered something softly, so no one could hear what he said. "What did you say Casey?" Ape asked with worry of what had happened to me.
"I thought that he was Mike, so when he grabbed me, I flipped him over and he went through a table," Case said while staring at the floor. "I'm really sorry man, I didn't know it was you."
"Case, it's all right, I'm fine, don't worry 'bout me," I said finally starting to stand up straight. I looked around Donnie's lab/infirmary and saw that it was demolished. Everyone in the room looked around also. All of the tables but two were smashed, broken glass was everywhere, live wires were cracking, chemicals were spilt, it looked like a couple hurricanes tornadoes, and twisters went through the place. "Donnie's gonna kill us," I said.
"Um April, please tell me that Don's chemicals aren't flammable," Mikey said nervously as he saw the live wires were near the chemicals. Our luck was shown as the chemicals caught fire.
"Fuck!" I yelled as we all ran to the door. "Please tell me that Leo gave one of you a key." They all shook their heads while I was hoping that one would nod. "Looks like we break it down then," I said as I inspected the lock. I would need a key or a lock pick to open this type of door, and seeing how we have neither, we had two choices, to be burned alive, or break down the door.
"Hey April," Case said, "You and Raph stand back as me and Mike break down the door." I was about to speak up when I started to cough.
"Raph are you all right?" Mikey asked concerned 'cause I couldn't stop coughing. I gave him a thumbs up but fell to my knees coughing.
"Hurry up you two," Ape said as she tried to help me up. I think that Case and Mikey nodded but before they could bust down the door, a click was heard and Leo, Donnie, and Master Splinter opened the door. When they did, they were met with a wall of smoke. I could hear them coughing as they breathed in the smoke.
Case, Ape and Mikey must have left the room because I could no longer hear them near me. Suddenly I felt someone grab my arms and jerk me to my feet while I was coughing heavily. All of a sudden I felt lightheaded and sick. I saw a bright light and saw Ape, Case, Master Splinter, and Mikey all standing outside of the door.
That meant that either Donnie or Leo was helping me. I really hoped it was the former 'cause if it were Leo I'd probably never hear the end of it. When I looked to see who it was, I saw Donnie smiling at me; he looked happy that I was all right. Then I heard a sound that I haven't heard since Leo tried to cook. It was the sound of a fire extinguisher; Ape gave us one for when Leo or Donnie were going to cook.
I'll end it here. Reviews get more chapters
