A/N Thanks to everyone who reviewed and followed my first chapter. I really appreciate it. Here's ch 2 and as always see ch 1 for disclaimer
Ch 2 Jealousy and Rage
Donnie struggled to break free from the grasp of his attacker. But they were strong and the purple masked turtle was no match for him. So he closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come. But suddenly a voice cried out, "Get away from my bro!" The thugs looked and saw Mikey charging towards them, spinning his nuchakus. The orange masked turtle jumped up in the air and cried out, "Booyakashaw!" Mikey kicked the thug holding Donnie hard, sending him sailing through the air. But the one with the bo swung it hard, catching Mikey in the face and leaving a large gash down his cheek. Mikey cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Donnie scrambled to his feet and tackled the thug. The bo went crashing to the ground and Donnie quickly grabbed it. Mikey had gotten to his feet by now and Donnie hit the two thieves hard while Mikey did the same with his nuchakus. "You ok Mikey?" Donnie asked, looking at his little brother with concern.
"Yeah I'm good D," Mikey said with a smile, wiping the blood off his cheek. Just then the two brothers heard a thud followed by a grunt. Looking over they saw that the other thieves had just set Raph sailing though the air. The red masked turtle landed hard on his shell and a crack was heard. But Leo had been watching and he along with April and Casey quickly sent the thieves to the ground. Another thief from the truck called out, "Kono oroka-sa de jūbundesu! Masutā wa korera no shōkōhin o hitsuyō to shite imasu! Ikou! (Enough of this foolishness! The Master has need of these supplies! Lets go!)" The other thieves quickly threw a smoke bomb, which blinded the turtles and their friends. When the smoke cleared the van was gone taking the thieves and the supplies with it.
"Well isn't that just great," Leo said with annoyance as he and his brothers and friends coughed violently.
"You ok Raph?" Casey asked, helping Raph to his feet.
"Peachy," Raph grumbled, holding his shell, which had a small crack in it.
"I'll have to tape that when we get home," Donnie said, looking at Raph's shell. But he winced when he reached out with his left arm.
"D I think your arm is broken bro," Mikey said, indicating Donnie's arm, which was swollen slightly.
"Probably," Donnie said, rubbing his arm with a sigh. "Your cheek is gonna need stitches Mikey."
"Ah man," Mikey grumbled, rubbing his cheek, which was still bleeding
"I hope you're happy Raph," Leo said, crossing his arms and glaring at his slightly younger brother.
"Me?!" Raph shouted, glaring right back at Leo. "This ain't on me Leo!"
"If you had just listened to me then this wouldn't of happened!" Leo shouted back. "But instead you had to act like a jerk and do whatever the Hell you wanted to do! And now not only did you get hurt but Mikey and Donnie did to!"
"Guys you can fight about this later," April said, getting between the furious brothers. "Right now we need to get out of here." Then as if on cue police sirens echoed through the air.
"April's right," Leo said, still glaring at Raph. "We need to get back to the lair. Lets go guys." With that the group left, heading back to the lair.

A little while later the turtles were back at the lair, getting their injuries attended to. April and Casey had gone home for the night, knowing Raph and Leo needed to talk things out. Splinter had taped Raph's shell back into place while Leo wrapped Donnie's arm. Splinter was finishing the stitches in Mikey's face. "This should not leave much of a scar Michelangelo," Splinter said as he applied a bandage to the stitches.
"Ah man," Mikey said. "And I was hoping I'd have a badass scar." Mikey grinned when he said this part. But his grin quickly turned into a grimace when he felt a painful tugging at his stitches. "Ow that hurts," he groaned, putting his hand to his injured cheek.
"Mikey I'm sorry," Donnie said, the guilt clear in his voice.
"For what?" Mikey said, surprised by Donnie's apology. "You didn't do anything D."
"Yeah but if I had been paying better attention then that thug wouldn't have gotten my bo away from me," Donnie pointed out.
"Donnie that wasn't your fault," Leo said, putting a comforting hand on his purple masked brother's shoulder. "I think we all know whose fault this is." Leo shot Raph a glare when he said this part.
"Oh no," Raph growled, jumping off the table he had been sitting on. Raph hissed in pain and put his hand to his shell as he landed. But he quickly regained his composure and shouted, "You ain't blamin' me for this Leo! This is all on you!"
"The Hell it is!" Leo shouted, balling his fists in anger. "If you had just listened to me then this wouldn't have happened Raph! I had a good plan and if you had followed it then no one would've gotten hurt and those thugs wouldn't have gotten away. But you were to busy being a jealous asshole to consider the consequences of your actions!"
"Raphael is this true?" Splinter asked, looking at his green eyed son. "Did you not listen to Leonardo's commands?"
"I shouldn't have to," Raph declared, the bitterness and contempt clear in his voice. "I should be the leader. Not him. I should be the one givin' orders not takin' them."
"Raphael," Splinter said, trying his best not to lose his temper. "I chose Leonardo to be leader for a very good reason. He is ready to lead. You are not. Your anger and temper make you do rash things. And what happened tonight is a very good example of this."
"Yeah whatever," Raph grumbled, crossing his arms. Then he thought, "Or maybe its 'cause Leo's always been your favorite. That's the real reason you picked 'im."
"Look Raph," Leo said with a sigh, not wanting to fight anymore. "I don't want us to fight. So please just next time listen to me when I tell you to do or not to do something. I don't want you or anyone else to get hurt again."
"Fine," Raph said with a sigh of his own. "I can see I ain't gonna win this argument. I'll play nice next time."
"That's all I ask," Leo said with a smile. "But I don't know about you guys but I'm pretty beat."
"You and me both bro," Mikey said, putting his arm around Leo.
"I'm just glad the argument is settled," Donnie said with a smile. Raph forced himself to smile back at his slightly younger brother when in actuality he was still seething mad inside. But the red masked turtle knew better than to let his emotions show. He really didn't want to get a lecture from Splinter at the current moment.
"I suggest we all get some sleep," Splinter said. "It has been a very tiresome day."
"Couldn't agree more Sensei," Leo said with another smile. "Good night all." With that the family dispersed, heading for their respective beds. Little did they know that the fight was just beginning.

When Raph got to his bedroom he shut the door and flopped down on his bed, punching the pillows while ignoring the pain that shot through his shell. "Damn Leo," he cursed. "He thinks he's so much better than me. Well I'll show 'im. He thinks I'm just gonna roll over and play dead. Ha think again big brother. I'm gonna prove to Splinter that I'd be a way better leader than Leo. And what better way to do that than by provin' Leo ain't fit to lead. That'll take that smug look off his face." With that Raph let out a slight laugh and got under the covers and turned off the light to get some much needed sleep.
