I DONT OWN TMNT.

"Ugh. My head." Raph brought his hand up to his throbbing head.

All of the sudden a glass of water and two pain killer pills appeared in his hands. As he took the medicine he put the glass on the tiny coffee table that now sat squarely by the couch.

"How are you feeling bro?" Leo asked.

"Uh...fine jus a little headache..." Raph spaced off trying to recall what all had happened. As he racked his brain for recollection he panicked.

"W-wha? Leo! Wha the shell happened? Did I get Mikey? ...did I leave the lair at all?!"

Leo was taken aback. "You...you don't remember? Here just sit tight I'm going to go get Don."

A split second later Leo and Don were standing in front of the now shaken up Raph.

"Raph before I make this assumption I'm going to need you to follow this light and let me take your pulse ok?"

Raph just nodded still a bit freaked out. As Don finished up he looked at Raph with a bit of thoughtfulness.

"You are officially out of shock, the loss of memory is sometimes common. What's the last thing you remember?"

"Uh...I was in a alley I think I was looking for Mikey, but the memory feels like a dream."

Don nodded. "That's normal Raph, with a bit more time you will start remembering again. Just take it easy for a couple of hour's then you can tell us if you remember, alright?"

Raph nodded, he seemed lost in thought. The fact that he couldn't remember scared the shell out of him. He hated it but he couldn't stop it either. "Do-do you guys know what happened?"

Leo stepped forward this time. "All we know is that you called him then apparently found him, then came home carrying him. You were freaking out Raph."

Raphs eyes widened as realization hit.

"Guys..He was dying in my arms! Bleeding out. Right in from of me... I know I found him in the alley but just not where. If that makes any sense..."

Don then put a comforting hand on Raphs shoulder. "Raph your going to probably start remembering big chunks of memory at a time. Just take it easy and if you want, let us know. Ok?"

Raph only nodded in response. "Can I see Mikey?"

Leo and Don both gave each other a glance. "Uh...yea sure. I have to warn you before hand though, Mikey is stable at the moment but there are lots of machines and IVs that are helping him...ok?"

Raph looked at him as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Well...yea I would say so! Why tell me that?"

"Huh...I guess you don't remember freaking out, hmm?"

Raph looked bewildered. "I did?"

"Yea, very much so!"

"Well...I won't."

Leo and Don both nodded. "Alright then, let's go."

As the three turtles entered a the lab a clear small gasp could be heard from Raph.

He went over to the bed, carefully trying to avoid the small cords that littered his path. He gently placed his hand on Mike's shoulder.

"I'm sorry bro, I shouldn't have hit ya, or fought with Leo."

Tears were silently making there way down his face now.

"I do promise you this though, I will sit here till you wake up. I wanna be the first person ya see so I can apologize for everything."

As the days passed Raph did just that, but soon a few hours turned into a day and a day turned into a week and a week quickly became a month. Mikey still hadn't woke up.

Splinter had came home, now a day's he looked older than ever, all he ever did anymore was eat, sleep, and meditate.

Don on the other hand did the complete opposite, to say the least he was a wreck. He drank about four pots of coffee a day and only slept when his body shut down completely. He was still trying to find out why Mikey had not still awaken.

Leo had become very quite and only trained.

Raph kept his promise and stayed by Mikeys bedside, he had gotten less sleep than Don.

But finally after a whole month and two days Mikey had opened his eyes.

"Raph?"

Raph jerked his head up. "MIKEY! Your awake!"

Mikey had flinched at the outburst but quickly recovered with a smile. "Yea...guess I am! Haha."

Before the others could come running in Raph gave Mikey a quick hug, saying sorry as he did so.

"Raph it wasn't your fault! Jeez. Always blaming yourself. I completely forgive you bro."

Raph smiled. "Thanks bro." As he said this the others came running in as well, even Master Splinter.

"Mikey?! Hey bro, how ya doing?!" Don questioned.

"Uh...doing just fine!" Mikey gave everyone a confused look as they circled his bed. "Wha...what happened?"

"My son, do you not remember?"

"Nah, not really. Everything is kinda blurry right now, but as Mikey said this he quickly cringed and screamed.

"Mikey?! Mike! What's wrong bro! Ya gatta talk to me! What's wrong?" Don was panicked to say the least.

"I-I the alley. It's to late." Mikey mumbled as he stared off in space.

The whole mutant family looked at each other as if expecting someone to know the answer as to what was going on.

"Mike! Calm down! Your fine, just take deep breathes." As Don said this he looked Mikey over and as he did he found what he was looking for.

'How did I not see this before?'

Mike's arm had a small bruise and in the middle of that bruise a small pin prick mark could be seen.

"Guys they gave him some sort of injection. I think it's affecting his memory, making him remember it slowly."

Raphs eyes widened. "What does that mean?! Can we stop it?"

Don shook his head solemnly. "No. We can't do anything for him. Just be here for him."

Everyone looked down, trying to figure out what to say. "Mikey just fight through it! You got this! We are all here for you!"

Tears came to Mikeys eye as he cringed and nodded his head.

A whole fifteen minutes later Mikey finally started to settle down.

The whole family's hearts were officially broken now. They had tried to calm the young turtle down and reassure him but they all knew it was in vain.

After the first five minutes they gave up and only sat there, waiting for his cries for help to cease.

At one point everyone was in tears, Mikey had started screaming for them and for the Shredder to stop.

They had once again tried to say things comforting. But it did not work.

Mikey panted as the unforgiving memory ceased.

"M-Mikey...are you alright?" Leo tried to wipe away the tears, but they kept coming making his voice crack.

Mikey nodded, his eyes fresh with tears as well.

"My son, would you care to talk about it?" Splinter tried his best to hide his sorrow as he said this.

"Mhm...I guess."

"Start when ever your ready, Mikey. Don't rush, just take it easy."

Mikey nodded then began.

"I was on a roof top just looking at how pretty the city was, when all of the sudden all kinds of foot ninja start coming from ,what it seemed like, no where!

When I finally got them all defeated the foot legions came! I attempted to fight them but they started throwing all kinds of ninja stars, so I couldn't get one single hit in.

So I started running but as i did i felt somthing hit my arm. It didnt hurt like a ninja star but it felt weird...i dunno...but um anyways... I ended up hiding behind a dumpster in a alley.

T-they found me and they smash the dumpster into me which knocked me into the wall.

I was already bleeding bad a-and I could not see straight but I got up anyways and charged towards one of the elites but right when I was about to hit him a foot ninja from a rooftop shot a arrow at me which hit me in the arm.

It hurt really bad but I knew...I knew I had to keep going and I did.

So I took the foot ninja with the bow and arrow out with a ninja star then surprisingly took the elite out with one hit.

But as I had turned around to the next elite he jumped over me and did a roundhouse kick.

I fell and when I tried to get back up he held a sword against my throat.

Th-then...He asked where my brothers where... so then I got this stupid idea and started annoying him.

I thought...I thought that I could catch him off guard and get a hit in and throw his sword away from him.

But as I made fun of his master which was of course was Shredder, he actually appeared!

Then he pretty much beat the shell outta me, and as he choked me I had yet another 'brilliant' idea and spit right in his face.

He threw me in the dumpster and I layed there...said goodbyes that frankly I was scared that I couldn't have made in person.

I knew I was dying I could feel my own blood and th-there was so much blood! I-I thought I was going insane at times but it was real!"

As Mikey finished he was soon developed in a nice warm hug by the whole family.

As the hug ended Raph spoke. "Its all going to be ok now Mikey. Your never going to be alone again, I promise."

Don and Leo both nodded at this.

Master Splinter smiled. It warmed his heart that his sons were all back to normal and together again.

"My son's I assume you have much to talk about I shall leave you to it." All of the turtles nodded and smiled.

One awkward silence later Raph spoke again.

"Hey...I know I have already said it but...I'm really sorry I hit you Mike. I was so caught up in the moment, and I know that's not a good excuse by any means but-"

Mikey laughed unexpectedly. "Thank you Raph, I know you didn't mean it. I forgave you as soon as you did it."

"I'm sorry to Mikey. We should have solved that way better than we did."

"Its cool bro! I know how you guys are."

"Its not 'cool' Mikey I promise me and Raph will work on this. Ok?"

Mikey smiled. He always knew his bros were there for him but just being in a situation where it actually happened made him even more faithful in them.

"Thanks guys."

As the night went on the brothers all talked about there side of the story and what all had happened.

After about two hours though they were on a completely different topic about how the air couldn't be rainbow colored.

Finally everything was once again whole in the Hamato family.

Thanks again to Nite Train. Glad i could write dis for ya!
