Donny and Chloe were racing towards the lair as fast as they could. When they got there, they headed straight for the lab.
Raph was lying on the cot unconscious. Donny raced over, checked to see if his brother was breathing and was relieved to hear he was.
"We need to get an IV set up," Donny instructed.
"Got it," Chloe agreed and then the two of them went to get the necessary items and set them up.
The two of them worked together to get Raph hooked up to the IV. When they were done, they sat down on an empty cot.
"I should've forgiven Raph when I had the chance and instead I shut him out," Donny admitted, feeling guilty for blocking his older brother's attempts to contact him.
"The important thing right now is for Raph to pull through," Chloe pointed out.
"Chloe's right," Leo said, appearing in the doorway. "Glad you're back, Donny."
"Same here," Donny said and then asked, "Is Sensei here?"
"He went to see April and Casey," Leo replied.
"What about Mikey?"
"He's in his room."
"Would you be able to get him in here?" Donny requested.
"I'll let him know you're here," Leo replied and then left the lab.
A few moments later, Mikey entered the lab. Donny noticed that his brother's eyes were red and puffy and his mask was soaked.
"How is he?" Mikey asked, referring to Raph.
"Still alive," Donny replied simply.
"Will he make it?"
"I'll do my best to make sure he does."
Mikey and Donny wrapped their arms around each other and squeezed tightly. They stayed in that position for a while.
Later, Donny and Chloe were keeping an eye on Raph. Leo was still in the dojo training and Mikey was currently in the kitchen.
"How are you doing?" Chloe asked.
"I'll be fine as soon as Raph wakes up," Donny replied.
"Do you want to read the note he sent you?"
"I'm not ready to read it yet."
"Are you ready for some pizza?" Mikey asked from the doorway.
"I could use something to eat," Chloe replied.
"I'm not hungry," Donny admitted.
"You need to eat," Leo said, appearing in the doorway.
"How about leaving some pizza here and I'll eat when I'm ready?" Donny suggested.
"That might work," Chloe admitted.
"I'll get some plates and drinks and leave some pizza here for you," Mikey offered and then took off.
"Maybe having some food will help," Chloe suggested.
"You might be right," Donny agreed.
Mikey was playing video games in the entertainment area when Leo walked by. Mikey signaled to his brother to come join him.
"I'm not in the mood to play video games right now," Leo said simply.
"I wasn't going to ask you to play," Mikey said, putting the game aside and turning off the TV.
"Did you want to check on our brothers?"
"Sure, that would be great."
In the lab, Donny and Chloe were eating pizza while keeping an eye on Raph's condition. Just then, Mikey and Leo appeared in the doorway.
"We wanted to see how everything was," Leo admitted.
"Getting better but he still hasn't woken up," Donny said simply.
"Are you staying here tonight?" Mikey asked Chloe.
"I need to get home but call if you need anything," Chloe replied as she and Mikey wrapped their arms around each other and then pulled away. Then Chloe left the lab.
Donny spent time talking to Raph and ended up falling asleep on the cot that he put next to his brother. He didn't notice Splinter enter the lab and put a large blanket across the two of them and then leave the lab.
