Hey! I'm back. Thank you to BakaClara, Cheetachan, animefairi + Datninjaturtle for reviewing the last chapter and to everyone who's favourited and followed so far.

See chapter 1 for disclaimer and let's crack on.

Well. It had taken him two nights but Raph had done extensive research [I.E. googled it] and come up with a couple of ideas for how to help his brothers out with their insomnia.

Now to just get them…

He knocked on Donnie's door before standing back and waiting.

Two seconds later the door was opened and Donnie's face glared round the door at him. "What do you want, Raphael? I'm working on something."

"I want you to come into the living room."

"…Why?"

Red rolled his eyes. "So I can help you and Leo out with your insomnia, duh-brain."

Don's fore-head creased and he opened the door, leaned against the doorframe, folded his arms and explained. "I actually don't have insomnia, Raphie. Leonardo's the one with insomnia."

"But it's midnight and you're still awake."

"Yeah – because you goofballs cause me so much stress in the day it means I can only work on my inventions during the night. And I do make sure to go to sleep no later than 4 AM."

Raph frowned. "We train at 5AM."

"Yeah, that's why I make sure to get at least an hour in." While Raph was still processing the fact that Don sometimes functioned with one hour of sleep Purple decided the conversation was over and shut the door on him.

"…Yeah…well – we'll discuss it another time then!" Raph ran a hand across his brow. One brother down, one to go.

He turned round and jumped slightly when he saw Leo leaning casually against his door. "…How long have you been there?"

"A little while." Leo said, vaguely. "So-" He changed the subject. "…You really think you can help me sleep?"

Raph grinned widely and said. "Yeah! I have a couple of ideas, come with me." And he hurried off down the corridor. Leo paused and debated returning to his room, before shaking his head and following behind.

To say the blue banded turtle was sceptical was an understatement. What had Raphael come up with that he hadn't already tried? Leo had tried hot drinks, hot showers, physical activity, no physical activity, reading himself to sleep, not reading himself to sleep and anything in between. To be honest he was getting a little annoyed with it all.

This was why, when Raph led him into the kitchen, Leo knew what he was thinking. "Oh no. No way, nada, no. This ain't gonna work."

Red looked at him in bewilderment. "You don't even know what I'm gonna do yet!"

"Oh yeah? Let me guess. You're gonna make me a hot drink of either tea, green tea or milk and hope that'll do the trick. Well, I tell you this from trial and error, Raphie - it won't." Blue folded his arms and leaned against the doorframe, defiantly.

Raph had a weird sense of deja vu – before realising he was actually thinking about Donnie – and said, as brightly as he could. "Well, maybe so, but have you tried…" He turned round and reached down to Splinters cupboard.

Leo unfolded his arms and stepped towards his brother, gingerly. "Raph, what are you doing? That's Splinters cupboard, we're not allowed to touch it. See?" And gestured towards the sign that said, in hand-written calligraphy.

'Splinter's stash – Keep out. My sons – this means you!'

"Ah, don't worry he won't mind if it'll help you out." Raph said, confidently while rummaging around in the back of the cupboard.

Privately Leo seriously doubted that statement – their father was quite protective over things he deemed 'his' - but wisely chose not to mention it.

"Ah-hah!" Raph withdraw his arm triumphantly, holding a stash of hot chocolate in his hand. "Here we go. Dad's not-so-secret stash of Hot Chocolate! If this doesn't do the trick nothing will."

Leo nodded and reached out for it, but Raph held it up high and said. "Ah-ah! I read on line you're meant to calm your mind and that means no thinking about anything. So you sit down and relax and I'll make your drink."

Blue considered arguing, but decided against it and sat down.

Five minutes later a steaming glass of hot chocolate appeared in front of him and Leo lifted it gingerly – mindful of the fact his hand was still recovering and sipped at it.

Raph sat directly opposite him and supported his head on his hands, while watching his brother intently.

After a couple of sips, Leo sighed and said. "Raph, I can't really drink this with you staring at me like a creep."

"Sorry." Raph covered his eyes and Leo took the opportunity to throw the whole thing down his throat, breaking into coughs after he'd done so.

Hearing this his older brother got up and slapped Blue on the back a couple of times.

"Okay so that didn't work." Raph said, once Leo had had a glass of water and returned to his normal shade of green. "But this definitely will. Come with me."

With an air of reluctance Leonardo followed his brother, muttering under his breath all the while. Then he frowned as they were being led into the dojo. "What the…er, Raphie – hate to break it to you, but exercise won't help."

"We're not exercising. We're meditating. C'mon, sit down."

Feeling slightly confused Leo sat down in a meditative pose and waited.

Raph took a deep breath in and said. "Now lie down."

Now Leo was really confused, but did as was asked. "Raph, I'm not sure-" He began.

His brothers held a hand out and shushed him. "Just trust me, Leon. Now close your eyes and picture a field."

To which Blue gave a side-wades look to Red, who couldn't see him because his eyes were closed.

"And everything is calm and you're relaxed and there are sheep and…and." Raph gave a wide yawn before saying, sleepily. "And they're leaping over…over a…hhmm."

There was a couple of seconds while Leo waited for Raph to carry on. When he didn't the slider said. "Er…Raphie? Don't keep me hanging, what are they-" He looked left and stopped mid-sentence when he saw his older brother had fallen asleep.

Leo sighed and got up. So much for the grand plan to help him fall asleep then. He headed to Raph's room, unhooked the hammock and headed back out.

When he reached the dojo he arranged the hammock over his brother trying to make a blanket of some sort – thought it looked fairly ridiculous given Raph's size – and having done that bowed out the dojo and headed back to bed with four and a half hours to kill.
