Hello! I'm back with chapter 4! Thanks for leaving a review and following this story. I appreciate it a lot.

So, enjoy the chapter!

I don't own TMNT.

"What is it?"

Donnie took Leo and Raph to his lab. Finally, he could prove that he was right. He betted that he would find something in their blood that could prove his point. Maybe his brothers didn't accept it yet, but he would make them see. Then, he would find an antidote for Baxter's substance and everything would be normal again. He just needed a blood sample.

"Great! Like three hours ago, Baxter decides to give us the most painful shot in our lives, and now, you won't let us go to sleep if you don't get a blood sample. I'm starting to develop a big hatred towards needles." Raph complained, while Donnie pulled out two syringes, some cotton and alcohol.

"Who cares? I need you to believe me."

"Who cares?! I'll tell you who cares! I care! My arm cares!"

"Donnie, Raph is right. I think that you are going too far. It was just a simple shot."

"The one that's being paranoid is you Donnie. You need to sleep too, you know?"

Donnie just ignored them.

"So, who's first?" He asked.

"I'll go first." Raph responded, as he rolled his eyes and sat down on the chair.

"Okay Raph, just don't move. I'll be done quickly."

"Yes, I know. You don't have to give me the whole introduction. I am aware of what you're going to- Ouch!"

Donnie pulled the needle into Raph's arm without hesitation. He was sick of his brother's complaining.

"Raph, shut up! You don't want to wake up Mikey and Splinter too." Donnie scolded without taking off the sight from Raph's arm.

"Ugh, just get it over with." Raph responded, quickly squeezing his eyes.

"Raph, you are such a crybaby." Leo laughed.

"No I'm not." He yelled.

"Hey! Shut up! Both of you!" Donnie scolded again, as he pulled out the needle. "Okay, you're free to to go."

"Nah, I'll wait for Leo."

"Just be quick Donnie. I want to go to sleep." Leo said as he sat down on the chair.

"Yes, I want to sleep too." Donnie answered, cleaning up Leo's arm and pulling in the needle. Leo closed his eyes and stayed silent the hole process, until Donnie retired the needle.

"All done. You can go to sleep."

"What about you Donnie?" Leo asked.

"I'll stay here, checking the blood samples. It won't take me too long. Like half an hour."

"Uh… Can I stay here with you? I just want to be sure that we are fine and that nothing is happening to us." Raph questioned.

"Sure. You can stay here with me. Just please don't make any mess." Donnie answered. "Do you want to stay too Leo?"

"Yes, but… I'm hungry. I'll go to the kitchen. Do you want something?"

Both of them said no.

"Okay then… I'll be in the kitchen." He said as he stood up and walked out of Donnie's lab.

"Is it just me, or he seems to be acting a little bit odd?" Raph asked.

"No, he's been acting like that since he woke up like an hour ago. I found him on the kitchen. He was pretty sure that an evil man was standing on our kitchen, just as you were pretty sure that Leo was dead when you woke up. That's why I'm worried about you too."

"Donnie, no offense, but I still think that you are overreacting."

"No, I'm not. What's happening to you two it's not normal. It can't be a coincidence."

"You have to understand that it was just a nightmare. Nothing else."

Donnie sighted with frustration. He decided that he didn't wanted to keep arguing about something that in some minutes would be proved.

"So, what was your nightmare about?"

"…I don't really want to talk about it."

"Oh, c'mon Raph. I'm curious."

"Well, then you will stay that way."

Meanwhile, Leo headed to the kitchen. He wasn't hungry. He just didn't understood yet that the man in his nightmare was just a nightmare. He wanted to understand. It all felt so real. He entered to the kitchen and turned on the lights. No one was there. Leo sighted, then, he stood there in silence and closed his eyes. No whistling. It was all silent. The only thing that he heard was silence. Leo opened his eyes. No one there. No danger, but, it still felt like there was. It was just a stupid nightmare. He kept thinking that. It wasn't real. Leo started to walk outside from the kitchen, when he slightly moved a plate. The plate fell to the floor, making a strong breaking glass sound. Leonardo turned around, gasping with fear and ready to fight, when he realized that the kitchen was empty.

Donnie and Raph heard the noise.

"That came from the kitchen right?" Raph asked.

"Probably…" Donnie answered, who quickly stood up and ran to the kitchen worried about Leo. Donnie thought that Leo could be hallucinating.

"Donnie, calm down, he is probably…" Before Raph could finish the phrase, Donnie was outside of the lab and in his way to the kitchen.

Donnie was arriving to the kitchen, when, before he entered, he heard Splinter's voice coming up from the kitchen. He stood there in silence.

"Leonardo! What are you doing awake? It's four o'clock in the morning. You should be sleeping."

Leo didn't said a word before checking again that there was no man in the kitchen.

"Uh… I was just hungry."

"You look scared my son. Are you alright?"

"Yes…" He said, shaking. "Why don't you go back to sleep Sensei? I'll just clean up and go back to sleep too."

"Okay. Leonardo, I want you to know that if anything is wrong with you, you can tell me. That doesn't make you weaker. Are you sure that you don't want to tell me something?"

"I am. Don't worry Sensei. I just freaked out when the plate fell down. I'm alright." Leo lied. He wanted to stop shaking, but he couldn't.

"Well then. Clean up and get back to sleep."

Donnie was still standing outside of the kitchen. When he heard that Splinter was coming out of the kitchen, he ran out of the hall and hided on the living room.

"Donnie, why are you taking so long?" He heard Raph's voice coming out from the lab. Donnie quickly started making signs with his hands, telling him to stay silent and hide. Raph returned the signs with his hands, asking why, until he saw his Sensei coming out of the kitchen. Then, Raph understood and hided. Until Splinter got into the Dojo, they came out. Then Raph walked to talk to Donnie.

"Get back to the lab. I'll go to help Leo to clean up." Donnie talked.

"No, you get back to the lab and I'll help him clean up. I want to go to sleep and I won't until you are done with the blood samples."

"Good point." Donnie answered, as he returned to his lab.

Raph walked into the kitchen. Leo was picking up the pieces of the broken plate. His hands were shaking. It was really difficult for him to pick up the pieces.

"What happened?" Raph asked, making Leo to gasp with fear.

"Oh, it's just you Raph. Sorry, I'm a bit paranoid. I had a nightmare and it wasn't a funny one."

"What was your nightmare?"

"Uh… It was something really stupid, but it freaked me out. You guys left me alone at home and I was punished, so I would have to do the chores. I put my music on and I went to Donnie's lab, then, the music stops playing and someone starts to whistle. T-Then I walk into the kitchen again and… Ouch!" Leo started shaking harder and harder. He cut his hand with broken glass.

"Dude, calm down. No one is here. Stop shaking."

"I know that no one is here, but it all felt so real."

"Then just imagine my nightmare. I saw you die. You were in your room, drowning with your own blood. We could do anything. You were dead." A tear came out of Raph's eyes. He wiped it up. "Well, why don't you go with Donnie so he can take a look at that wound? It is a big one. I think that you will need stitches, but better ask Donnie. I'll clean up the broken glass."

"Thanks Raph." Leo said with a little smile on his face as he walked out of the kitchen.

Leo entered Donnie's lab. Donnie seemed frustrated. He was murmuring to himself things that Leo couldn't understand.

"Is everything alright Donnie?"

"No, it can't be."

"It can't be what?"

"There is nothing."

"Donnie, I don't get you."

"There is nothing in the blood samples. In neither of them. No trace of any medicine."

"Really?" Leo spoke amazed. That meant that he was alright. It was just a nightmare. Nothing related to paranoia.

Donnie looked up to Leo.

"There has to be something… Wait, what happened to your hand?"

"Broken glass."

"Let me see… Leo it's pretty deep. I think that I will have to stitch you up."

"Are you sure it's that bad?"

"Yes Leo. I am sure." Donnie said as he pulled out the emergency kit. "Sit down and give me your hand."

Leo obeyed as Donnie grabbed a gaze and filled it with alcohol.

"Oh, you are not serious, are you?"

"Yes I am Leo. I need to clean it up and we are out of resources. You are lucky that we have anesthesia. Now give me your hand and try not to scream."

Leo hesitated, but he obeyed Donnie's orders. Donnie grabbed the gaze and without any advice to Leo, he started cleaning the wound. Leo squeezed his eyes, but he contained the scream. After an eternity for Leo, Donnie finally finished. Raph entered the lab.

"Told you needed stitches." He said smiling.

"Oh, shut up Raph." Leo answered.

"Donnie, are you done with the blood samples?"

"Yes I am." He responded as he injected anesthesia to Leo's hand.

"Did you found anything?"

Donnie just sighted.

"No, he didn't. We are fine Raph. They were just two terrible nightmares, but nothing else." Leo responded smiling as Donnie began stitching up his wound.

"Wow, those are good news. I really didn't expected them."

"Look guys, I know that I didn't found anything in your blood, but I still think that something is happening to you."

"Oh god Donnie, here you go again. An hour ago, you wanted blood samples to prove that you were right, but now you see that you are not. You have to get it Donnie. Raph and I are alright."

"Guys, you both have to get it. What happened to you tonight was not normal." Donnie talked as he finished stitching up Leo's hand.

"Look Donnie, you can think anything you want, just don't tell Mikey okay? There is no need for him to be as paranoid as you with this situation. I need you to promise that you won't tell neither Splinter or Mikey. As I said, think what you want to think as long as it doesn't involve others. Just keep it to yourself. Good night Donnie." Raph said rolling his eyes as he walked out of the lab.

Donnie just stood there in silence.

"Hey Donnie, don't be sad. You know that Raph can be explosive sometimes, but he is right. We are fine and you proved it. Don't worry okay? You know that we are very thankful and we owe you big time for worrying for both of us, but let it go. We are alright. We should to sleep. It's five in the morning. Thanks for stitching me up."

Both of them got out from the lab and walked to their own rooms. Maybe Leo and Raph were right and there was no side effect. Maybe he was just being paranoid.

So, that was it. Hope you liked it :)
