Chapter 4
The rumble of a motor could be heard coming towards the fighting frenzy. The fighters were briefly blinded by headlights as an armored truck skid to a stop a few feet away, some of the Foot jumping out of the way of the vehicle to avoid been ran over. The two turtles glanced at each other, Donny grinning as he twirled his bo staff in his finger tips.
"Looks like he figured it out without any trouble," he proclaimed proudly.
"Looks like..." Raphael disarmed a Foot of it's nunchucks.
Michelangelo and Leonardo jumped out of the back of the Battle-shell, wielding their own weapons.
"Having a party? Without US!" Mikey questioned, looking a little hurt, "Now, that's jus' not right!"
"Sorry, bro'. Hadn't had the chance to drop ya' a' line," Raph smirked at his youngest brother, knocking one of the ninjas away with a well placed kick to the head, "We've been having too much fun to think about it, ya' know?"
"You kidding, Raph? I forgot all about calling!" Don stated as he used his weapon to balance himself, planting both feet in the stomach of a Foot ninja. The force of the kick threw the ninja back into two others, "I've been more interested in kicking some serious ninja ass! OW! Damnit...!"
Raph's head snapped towards the explanation, both in surprise and concern. Concerned that HIS Donny was harmed and surprised at the foul language that had escaped from him. The turtle in red immediately took notice that Don was no longer behind him. Instead, he was on the ground beside a nearby tree. The younger turtle was clutching his upper arm while using his bo as a leverage to get up. With a running leap, Raphael flipped over some of the ninjas to land in front of Donny. He spun around just in time to deliver a side kick to an adversary and knocked away three of the Foot.
"You alright?" he asked with a glance back, a kantana being blocked with a sai.
"Yea... I-I'm fine. Just a careless mistake, that's all," Don reassured with a slight pink across his cheeks, unable to believe what his mind was telling him about how Raph had to have feelings for him. Donny breathed deep, his reassurance not lasting long as he applied pressure to the injured arm, "Ow... damn... I think it's gonna need stitches..."
Raph happened to look back to catch a glimpse of the injury. It was a cut, most likely from a blade, and was about four inches long and maybe about an inch deep. With narrowing eyes, the turtle tucked away a sai and pulled Donny to his feet by his uninjured arm.
"It's s'pose to be Mikey that gets hurt, not you," Raph couldn't help but remark as Don winced at putting weight on his left foot.
Inside, Raph was literally squirming with worry. Just how bad was Donny hurt? That blade didn't hit a major artery, did it? What about...?
'Not NOW, you numb skull! Get Don to the Battle-shell, damnit!'
Err... right!
"C'mon, let's get you to the truck," Raph stated.
He pulled Don behind him as he made way towards the vehicle. Donny tried to pull away but received a glare in response from his brother and was given no choice but to follow. In his desperation to get Don to the safety of the Battle-shell, Raph didn't even realize how many ninjas he took out as he passed them by, resulting in a quick ending fight.
"Wait! What about Lance?" Don questioned as Raphael sat him in one of the seats inside the vehicle.
"I'll get him," Raph assured, taking down a first aid kit just as Mike and Leo climbed into the truck.
The kit was handed to Leo as Raph passed him and jumped back out, heading for the hiding spot that the trio had previously been. He found a few unconscious Foot soldiers that had been thrown in that particular direction, but no sign of Lance.
"Lance?" Raphael separated a bush and looked behind it. Nope. He called again, "Hey, Lance? Lance? C'mon, I told Don I'll come get ya'. Lance... huh..?"
Raph straightened and turned as the bushes behind him rustled, one of his hands reaching for a sai. The bushes parted to reveal the teen, chewing his lower lip as he looked around.
"The fight's over?" Lance asked, "Is Donny ok?"
"Yeah, he should be fine. He got injured, but I'm sure it's nothing really serious," the turtle answered, reassuring himself as well as the human, "C'mon. Let's get you to the truck, huh?"
The duo returned to the Battle-shell to find Donatello eyeing the needle that was held in Leo's hand. His ankle was already wrapped, yet his arm was still clutched under his palm.
"Umm... How about we just wrap it for now, and I'll let Splinter do the stitching when we get home?" Donny then noticed Lance and Raph entering the truck, his brother closing the door after them, "Lance! You ok?"
Lance chuckled, "I should be asking YOU that. Here, let's see, my man."
Donny began to protest as his friend started to pry his fingers away, "I'm fine! Honest! Lance, don't worry about me!"
"Whatever, Donny. That's what they all say. Now let's see it," Lance argued back and continued to pull away the blood covered hand.
The other three turtles decided to stand back and watch, interested in what was going to happen. Besides, if this was really Donny's friend, then he wouldn't do anything to harm their brother.
The human succeeded in his prying and wiped the blood away with a clean cloth. Leo arched a brow as he watched the boy apply peroxide to the wound, which earned a hiss from Donny. Lance blew gently on the injury to ease the stinging then pulled away to inspect the damage. He asked for the needle that was held in Leo's hand, at which it was turned over to him. Don, in result of the exchange of the needle for a smile, pulled away as Lance reproached him. Lance rolled his eyes in amusement.
"Oh, sit still. This'll only take a sec, bro'."
Donatello eyed him warily, "That's what you said LAST time, remember? Then you had to go back and redo the entire thing!"
"That was before moms gave me tips in using needles," Lance gripped the turtle's elbow firmly, "Now, hold still, ya' big baby."
"Who are you calling a baby? OWW! Shit, watch where you poke that... ow!" Donatello cursed again, getting arched brows from his brothers, "Damnit, Lance! I'll be fine! Let go! ...Ow...!"
The mocha teen raised his head from his task to give his friend a withering look that would've sent even Raph running for the hills. Yet, the look didn't seem to phase Donny. Instead, he 'humph'ed, looking away while propping his chin in the hand of his good arm. His gaze landed on his brother that his dreams and thoughts constantly revolved around. Gaze dropping almost instantly to the floor, he winced slightly at the pinpricks from the needle, cheeks heating up.
Lance watched his reaction, and, to his surprise, caught Mike's eye. They both grinned, each knowing what the purple clad ninja was thinking. Thats when all of the turtles were broken from their thoughts at hearing sirens approaching the park. Mike jumped into the driver's seat, Lance able to make the last two stitches and snip the thread as the engine revved up. Lance gripped the back of the seat that Donatello sat in, truck lurching forwards. With all of the unconscious ninjas in the path, it was a big surprise that they were able to get past them without running over any of the Foot.
Leonardo sat in the passenger seat next to Mikey, buckling his seatbelt after being able to sit down, "To the lair, Mike."
As the turtle in orange drove, Lance managed to regain his balance, pulling out some guaze and surgical tape from the first aid kit. He wrapped Don's arm smuggly, not allowing the guaze to pull free from it's restraints. Don examined the dressings when he was done.
"Wow... You've gotten better," the teen mutant seemed impressed, smirking slightly at Lance's barely audible blush.
Raphael gripped Lance's shoulder firmly in a friendly way, "Ya' know, we jus' might have ta' recruit ya'." he grinned.
The African American teen's blush became more apparent against his dark skin at the compliment. He didn't have many friends and didn't receive many compliments. His blush didn't last very long, though. Mike swerved, throwing the three in back around. Lance landed sideways in one of the neighboring seats. Raph,. on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He hit the side of the vehicle and landed on the floor on his back. Donatello was thrown from his own seat, getting a cushion called Raphael to land on.
"Argg... Mikey! Easy, you numbskull!" Raph winced, eyes closing, hand rubbing the back of his head, not yet noticing the position he and his brother was in.
Raphael may not have noticed it, but Donny sure did. His cheeks flushed bright red against his green skin as he pushed himself up off of Raph's chest. The movement was something that Raph didn't miss, though. His closed eyes opened to look up at his younger brother, absently noting the bright blush across his face.
Doesn't he look cute...? Raph thought amusingly to himself. His eyes widened slightly in disbelief, but he couldn't deny that he'd thought it. It was just unavoidable. But that didn't make it any less true. Donny DID look cute with that blush... Then it hit him. Did he have feelings for his brother...? The answer echoed in the back of his mind.
Yes...
Chapter 4
Well, well, well... this is an interesting place to stop, wouldn't you say so. At least it doesn't have a major cliffhanger! lol Alright guys, I hope you enjoyed. My neck has been killing me for typing all four of these chapters that I updated (they would be in the MD section, along with 'Ducks and Turtles Unite!' Yes, I DID update it too!).
Once again, I ask for setup ideas. I have no idea WHERE to begin on the next chapter. thinks maybe... ah.. that should work... anyway, if anyone has any ideas that I could use to setup up Don and Raph, could you be a dear and email them to me?
