Casey was getting impatient. They had been in the bathroom for half an hour, making him the one in charge of the sick.
He were wiping the sweat off of Raph's forehead, when the turtle started mumbling feebly.
"Raph? Can you hear me? How are you feeling?"
He whined in response, tightening his head.
"Your head, it's still sore, isn't it?"
He nodded as his nose started bleeding. Casey used the rag to wipe it away.
"You're gonna be okay, I promise."
Raph opened his eyes, looking at the teen.
"Dude, you're eyes! Its like, they're losing their color... Know what, I'll get Donnie."
Casey was about to stand, when the red clad turtle grabbed his collar, eyes going white.
"Raph?"
Donatello shivered as Aprils cold hand touched his shell for the tenth time.
The crack was covered in a thick layer of resin by now.
She wasn't a doctor, she hadn't even studied medicine, so mending a wound like this was a pain in the shell, literally.
Her hands were shaking, afraid of doing something wrong.
"It's okay April, you're doing great."
"No I'm not, I'm not a nurse, and this is just... I'm not even sure I'm doing it right."
She sighed, then looked at it. It wasn't professional, but it would have to go for now.
"April? Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, what's on your mind?"
"Well, you see, I've been thinking and..."
The genius sighed in frustration, trying to find words, when a cry came from the living room.
"HELP! APRIL, DONNIE, ANYONE!"
It was Casey, no doubt. April finished the work she started, though the bandage had to wait.
She lifted the partly paralyzed Donnie back onto the wheelchair, then hurried out of the bathroom.
Casey were lying on the floor, a crazy Raphael on top of him.
"Raph's gone nuts, he's trying to bite me! Do something!"
The teen was in utter panic, looking at the mad turtle.
"Casey, there's a pressure point under his jaw, do you know where that is?"
"Of cause I do! But he'll bite my hand of if I try! You gotta distract him!"
"Right! Hey Raph, you ugly excuse of a turtle!"
No reaction. Don then turned his focus to his bo staff leaning against the wall.
"April, poke him with my bo!"
"What?! Are you crazy!"
"Just do it!"
April then grabbed the staff and carefully poked his shoulder, making his focus turn to her.
"Now Casey!"
The teen then pressed a finger under his jaw, but nothing happened.
"Guys, it's not working!" Casey panicked as Raph stood up, then headed in Aprils direction.
"Crap! April, run!"
The young redhead didn't have to be told twice as she sprinted through the living room,
and into the bathroom, locking the door from the inside.
The red clad turtle now stood outside the door, waiting.
"What's happenening?!" The genius looked confused at Casey.
"Really Don, really? Ya need glasses or something? Raph just tried to eat my face!"
"Yeah but, why would he even... Unless..."
"Unless what?" The teen asked worried.
"I'll need to take another blood test, I might have missed something..."
"What are you even talking about?"
"I'm talking mind control. Something made Raph mind shut down, and now we gotta find a way to change him back"
"So, some kinda serum?"
"It's possible, but how did the kraang even get it?"
"Who cares, this is so cool! Like a real zombie apocalypse!"
"No Casey, this is not cool, it's dangerous!"
"Blablabla, as long as I get to kill some undead!"
"First, no one's dead, second, you wouldn't kill Raph!"
He looked at him thinking, then shook his head.
"I didn't think so. Now, to run a proper test, I'll need the centrifuge from my lab, hopefully it didn't break during the fight..."
"No problem, I'll go get it for ya!"
"No way! You aren't leaving the apartment!"
"Come on, I'll be careful. Besides, I know what to do, I've read a bunch of survival journals,
just in case something like this would happen. I'll be back in less than an hour!"
With that Casey left through the window
No way this mission could go wrong in any way...
Meanwhile, Donnie still had a brother, guarding the locked bathroom door like a watchdog,
and he had to come up with a way to knock him unconscious, without hurting him, while being stuck to a wheelchair...
Why did things always have to be so damn complicated?!
Plot twist and cliffhanger? Yep! It was too short? Yep! XD Leave a review, and tell the author how ya feel about it.
Was it a shock, did ya kinda expect it? Im curious ;P
