Chapter 5: Brothers Awakening

Raphael's POV:

Darkness envelopes every bit of my vision making it hard for me to tell if I'm blind-fold or unconscious. The pain in my head was now coursing through every part of my body which made it hard for me to move, think to the most. I slowly open my eyes, but I rapidly close them again firmly due to a horribly bright light shining, what seems to be two centimeters from my eyeballs. I hear faint muffled voices, but they soon get more clear as I pull up the courage to open my eyes and concentrate on what I'm hearing. Once my eyes were completely open, I search every inch of the area I was in. I keep searching around the room until I realize I was in Donnie's lab. It was painfully silent except the beeping and uproarious humming of Donnie's computer monitor, which will always irritate the shell out of me. I pull myself up on my elbows and do my very best to ignore the sharp pains that keep coming to my head, much worse every time. It doesn't take me long to realize that I was connected to a bunch of wires and cords, and I also had IV's placed in both of my arms.

"The heck is all dis stuff?" I ask as I tug on different wires to figure out where they connected. I then shove my hand to my sweating forehead and clench my teeth together in pain.

"Shell, m'head 'urts like_"

Before my most necessary complaining was finished, a purple-masked figure comes strolling into the lab with a severely stressed look on his face. He was obviously in his own little world at the moment since he didn't even look up once since he got in the room. I stared hard at my little brother with a concerned look on my face wondering why he was looking so strained.

"Uuuuhhhhh...D-Donnie, ya 'kay?"

Donnie slowly lifts his head from the ground and gazes at me with wide eyes. His staring lasts for a couple minutes until he suddenly gasps and runs towards me.

"Ra...Raph! Your...awake! Are you okay? Does your head hurt?"

My purple-banned brother asks a series of questions in an incredibly fast pace, making it hard for me to answer even half of a question.

"Take it easy braniac, m'fine. Trus' me bro, if der was anythin' wrong wit me, I would b'sure to tell you just to keep ya outta stresses way."

Me and Donnie share a long stare between each other but I soon curve my lips into a half-smile to quickly shove the awkwardness away. Donnie then lays his hand on my shoulder and pulls me into a tight embrace.

"God Raph. You gave me like twelve heart attacks. You've been out for nearly two days and you scared the loving shell out of all three of us."

Donnie pulls away from me, gently gripping my shoulders and staring into my half-open amber eyes.

"You were screaming extremely loud and alarmed the entire lair. Once we were able to reach you, you were blacked out on the bathroom floor and you started to have an awful seizure that lasted almost five minutes Raphie, I'm truly surprised such a hard and long attack didn't...kill you.

I gasp and widen my eyes to Donnie's terrifying statement. I immediately throw my head up and stare into his dark spotted, tired brown eyes. I truly wasn't expecting death to almost come upon me like that.

"I had...an s-seizure?"

Donnie sadly stares back into my wide open shocked eyes and slowly nods his head in response. I slowly lower my head from Donnie's intense gaze with a continuous wide-eyed stare to the floor. A long silence travels through the lab, but is soon broken by my stressed little brother saying something that nearly puts me into an anxiety attack.

"Th...Then you said...you said_"

Donnie immediately closed his mouth to block the rest of his words out then backed up into a chair and propped his head in his hands. His sudden speech left me speechless, yet leaving me to want to hear more. The scary and feared tone that Donnie has in his voice panics me and causes me to gently cup his face in my hands and stare intensely back into his eyes.

"Don, s'wrong? What did I say?! Please...tell me!"

I raised my voice to an extent to me not yelling at him, just desperate to know how I hurt my little brother and most likely, my other two brothers. Donnie didn't respond back to my pleading shout, only simply shook his head in his shaking hands. It was clear that Donnie has been stressing about something for a long time now. The look on his face obviously showed that he hasn't slept in those two days I was out. His breathing was rather slow and his body was slumped in an exhausted form as he hung his head.

"Donnie?"

I ask in a confused tone. No response was given back to me which gives me the idea that Donnie actually fell asleep. I call his name one more time.

"Don? D'you fall sleep n'me man?"

"Yes Raph? Did you say something?"

His response was weak and stale and strongly convincing me he would black out at any given moment. I quickly swing my legs over my bed and struggle to stand on my feet. I still had wires and IV connected to my arms and head which made it hard to stand without messing something up, but my sleepy brother wasn't but one foot away from me. Once I stand up and coordinate myself to stay on my feet, I rush over to my overly exhausted little brother. I waste no time as I automatically pick him up in my arms and set him gently into my lap and wrap the blanket from the bed firmly, yet comfortably around him. Donnie instantly wraps his arms around my neck as he gets more comfortable in my lap.

"Raphie, I'm worried about you. I just want you to be ok...because it pains me to see you like this."

I raise my head a bit to look into Donnie's chocolate brown eyes and give him a soothing smile. I kiss his temple and nuzzle his cheek as I pull him closer towards me.

"Ahh Donnie. You don' need ta worry lil bro. As long as I know you, Mikey, and even...Fea'less are 'kay, then I'm perfectly fine."

A small snore was spread across the lab. I pop my eyes open a bit wider in surprise and shoot my head up and find out that my braniac Donnie has finally fallen asleep for my prediction, the first time in two freakin days. A soothing smile is spread across my face for now; I know he is finally sleeping. I stay silent and rock back and forth to put Donnie more in a relaxing slumber. The soothing silence lasts a couple minutes until it was broken by Donnie mumbling in his sleep.

"I love you Raph."

I pause for a brief second then smile a half smile and kiss Donnie on his forehead.

"I love ya too lil bro, no matter waz wrong wit me."

AWWW SO CUTE! :3 :3 BUT YA'LL KNOW IZ FAR FROM OVER RIGHT! XD
