Look who updated XD No but really, giant writers blog, yet I managed to finally finish this chapter.
Yes its short, but short is better than nothing right? Besides, you're gonna get a lot of info in this...

I do not own TMNT

Raphael had been leaning tiredly against the bathroom door for more than fifteen minutes, and Donnie was getting worried.
Whenever the genius tried talking to him, he would simply groan in respond.
The thought of knocking him unconscious had left his mind completely, knowing the dangers of doing so.

The red clad turtle was exhausting himself, and yet he didn't even seem to realize it.

After a while he was starting to lose balance, and slowly slid down the door, eyes closing.
He waited a little longer to be sure he was asleep.

"It's okay April, you can come out now." Don assured as he wheeled himself towards him.
She opened the door ajar and left the bathroom, not able to open it fully as the unconscious turtle was leaning against it.

"What happened to him? He starts off weak and feeble, and then suddenly he tries biting Casey's face off.
That's not a symptom of meningitis, is it?"

"No, it's not, but I don't think he's thinking by himself, it's almost like... He had to do it, even though he didn't have the energy to..."

April looked questioned at him as she lifted the sleeping form from the cold floor and back to the couch.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm not saying it is, but... Remember I told you about those wasps we fought about a year ago?
Well, when they stung us, they released chemicals that invaded our brain, and made us protective slaves over an egg.
Not only that, but if an infected individual, in this case Leo, bit someone who wasn't infected, he would spread the parasite.
In conclusion, there could be behavior controlling parasites involved in this, which is, actually, really smart"

"So, what you're saying is, if someone who's already infected, bit you, he would infect you too?"

"Of cause it's just a theory, I'm not 100% percent sure yet..."

Donny suddenly had a revelation.

"Hey, they were covered in a thick layer of a weird, smelly goop after a patrol, the same goop that made them ill the next day.
If we could get a sample of that, I might be able to find a cure!"

"Right, and where are we gonna find that?"

"Since we're dealing with krang, lucky guess, it's hidden somewhere in the TCRI building."

"Right, and how do we gain access?"

"That's the problem, since the place isn't exactly wheelchair friendly, I won't be able to get inside."

"So, it would be up to me and Casey to get the goop."

"It's gonna be dangerous April, and if something happens, we won't be there to help you."

"I know, but we gotta try, or your brothers, and all of New York city may fall into incurable sickness.
We have to at least try, or this might end in a pandemic."

The genius hesitated, but a single look at his diseased, almost lifeless brothers made his blood run cold.
He couldn't give up on them, even if it meant that he had to send his love of his life into an alien headquarter,
the same aliens that wants her head on a silver plate.

"...You're right, we don't have any other choices, yet I don't think your dad is gonna agree to this."

Yes, Kirby wasn't in New York at the time being, but that didn't mean he wouldn't care if his daughter ended up hurt, or worse, dead.

"I've done plenty of things without his permission, and I'll rather safe the world and get grounded, than let my family suffer like this."

"Well then, guess I'll have to teach you the modern ways of hacking krang tech."

As always, thanks for reading and sticking around, and reviews are still highly appreciated.
