I collapse on the couch as soon as we get back and Raph tries to haul me back to my feet so we can go to Donnie lab. Donnie to the rescue, "It's fine, Raph. She can stay there."
"Whatever," he growls, "Your bone head move almost got you killed, you know that?"
I grin, "Sure it did. It got out in plenty of time, Raphy."
"Actually, you didn't," Don shakes his head, bringing over his medical kit, "The fire fighters had just enough time to get the people by the door and get out. The building collapsed before you'd gotten in the sewer. Half a second more, and you'd be crushed."
"Like I said," I smirk, "Plenty of time." They both shake their heads while Raph walks away and Don sets up next to me. I'm glad he's not hooking me up to the oxygen mask. I'd stopped coughing on the way back. I think it has something to do with our rooftop runs that made my lungs so strong. Maybe cause of how close we are to the smog or maybe it's cause they're in constant overdrive for a good two hours a night. Whatever the case, it makes them good for dealing with smoke. One thing Don does bring over, however, is the sling. I grimace, "Dude-"
"Don't even," he glares at me, taking it out, "I'll check it after Leo's done with you. Until then, put this on and don't take it off. Got it?"
"Yes, doctor Donnie," I roll my eyes as he places it over my head. I slide my aching arm in as he slips me some painkillers. I silently thank him, watching Leo make his way towards us. "Uh-oh."
"That's right, uh oh," Leo crosses his arms, "What on earth were you thinking, running into a burning building like that?"
"I saw people running out and didn't hear sirens," I state, "So I ran in."
"Without calling for backup?" Leo scoffs, somehow offended.
I shake my head, "I called Donnie as soon as I got inside."
"That true?" Leo asks. Donnie nods, "Alright, well-"
"Here are the facts, Leo," I grin up at him, "I did everything by the book. I listened for sirens, I watched where I was going, I did that breathing thing you taught me so the smoke wouldn't affect my lungs as much, and I called Don the moment I was inside," with the smallest smirk I add, "I don't actually see why I'm in trouble."
"She has a point," Donnie interjects. Leo gives him a look, but it disappears just as fast as it arrived. He knows I'm right.
"Fine," he shakes his head, "Though, I'm sure Master Splinter will want to talk to you, too." I grimace at the thought as he adds, "Donnie said you saw Baxter?"
"And the Shredder and Hun," I nod, "They left Baxter there to die. I saw he was trapped and helped him get out." Leo shakes his head at this, obviously not having the same viewpoint on it as I did. "I couldn't just leave him."
He sighs, "I know," and takes the empty seat next to me, "How's your arm? I mean, what happened, anyway?"
"Good!" Mikey shouts, rushing over, "You're done yelling at her. Storytime." He jumps over the couch, landing between Leo and I, "Come on Lex, spill."
I giggle, "Okay, well-"
"Wait a minute," Raph groans, coming over, "I don't want to hear through Mikey." He sits down beside Don on my other side as I tell the story.
