Couldn't wait to update XD so here it is...

Again I do not own TMNT nickelodeon does...

Days passed and neither Leonardo, Raphael nor Donatello could locate him. Donatello even tried the tracker he had implanted on their shell cells, but the device had somehow been disconnected. Today the three turtle were getting ready for another search to find Michelangelo. They were heading to the garage but the turtles suddenly heard the main entrance to the lair open. Thinking their lost brother had finally come home all three turned heel and went to said place. Yet disappointed filled their faces when they saw that it was their human friend Casey Jones and no Michelangelo. "Hey Case, got any news on finding Mikey?" asked Leonardo.

"News? No. Mikey? Yes." the man answered him with a smile on his face. Before any of them could ask him what he had meant a wobbly Michelangelo entered the room. "Mikey!" all three yelled in unison as they ran towards said turtle.

"Where the shell have you been!?" first asked Donatello.

"Do you know how worried we've been?" second was Leonardo without letting Michelangelo answer.

"I swear if this was some kind of prank of yers-" Raphael threatened half-heartedly. Actually he was glad that his younger brother had come home. Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello kept asking Michelangelo different questions at the same time.

"Guys" Casey said. Still they kept asking questions as if they hadn't heard him. "GUYS!" this time all three turned to him. "I should probably tell ya' that when I found him, he was wonderin' in the alleys with a weird loopy look on 'is face" said Casey with a worried expression on his face. Realization finally dawned on the turtles as they looked back at Michelangelo seeing him, really seeing him for the first time in days. The turtle in question indeed looked spaced and pale. Donatello couldn't figure out why. He checked for pulse which was too low for comfort. "Come on let's take him to the lab. It's a miracle he's still standing" said Donatello with urgency. In minutes the three turtle and the human were in said place where Leonardo and Raphael laid their somewhat dazed younger brother on the bed.

"I'll see what I can do. You guys can wait outside" Donatello said to his brothers and Casey. All three nodded and exited the lab. "Call if you need anything" Leonardo said before exiting. Donatello nodded and began his examinations.

After three hours Donatello finally came out of the lab and headed toward the living room. The minute he stepped into the living room he got bombarded by his two brothers and the human.

"Well I did every test that could think of. He seems to be fine, although I had to give him a blood transfer since he was very low on it -which was what I was worried about- and found three sort of chemicals that I haven't identified yet and starved. End of story he need rest. If he wakes up tell me, I'll be in my room" Donatello said tiredly. Leonardo was the first to notice that Donatello looked somewhat pale and asked "Uh.. Donnie where did you get the blood for the transfer?" it was then that Raphael and Casey noticed why the blue clad turtle had asked.

Donatello only gave a wanton smile. "Like I said tell me when Mikey wakes up" before any of them said anything else Donatello headed towards his room and closed his door.

Seven hours had passed and Michelangelo didn't wake up. Donatello only got out of his room to go to the kitchen to grab a glass of water or something to eat once in a while. Leonardo sat beside his youngest brother keeping watch to make sure everything was fine, for now.

Leonardo was so focused on his little brother that he almost jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Cool it fearless it's just me" Raphael said and removed his hand. "Sorry, I didn't hear you come in" Leonardo said without looking at him.

"Nothing yet?"

"No"

Raphael looked at both brothers in concern. Though he would never admit it openly he was worried about Michelangelo but the one who worried him most right now was Leonardo. The blue masked clad hadn't left their younger brother's side since Donatello gave the news and that had been seven freaking hours ago. "Leo, go get somethin' to eat and rest. I'll watch over Mikey while ya do" Raph said to the eldest. "Don't worry Raph, I'm fine, I can keep watching Mikey for a while longer" Leonardo said moving nothing but his lips.

"Bro, you've been here for seven hours straight you haven't eaten and not to mention you've barely slept this last few days searching for Mikey. He's here now, he's safe, you can relax a degree and at least get sometin' tah eat"

Leonardo looked up at him and simply said "I'm not tired". Raphael -being as short tempered as he is- was about to yell at their eldest brother but was cut off by a soft moan coming from Michelangelo's direction. Both blue and red masked clads turned their heads to see a somewhat thrashing Michelangelo. "Mikey?" asked Leonardo. Michelangelo in turn did not respond. Upon closer inspection both turtles saw that he was also sweating. Leonardo quickly felt Michelangelo's forehead, which was like hot lava. "Raph, get Donatello, a cloth and some cold water. Mikey's burning up". At this Raph only nodded and went out of the room. Seconds later Donatello was at Leonardo's side with a thermometer at hand. Donatello put the thermometer in Michelangelo's mouth hoping that he wouldn't spit it out. By some sort or miracle he didn't and when the thermometer beeped Donatello took it and sucked in his breath. "What?" asked Leonardo. "He's over 45 degrees. We need to cool him down" Donatello said. As if summoned Raphael came into the room with a bucket filled with iced water and a towel cloth in each hand. Raphael quickly handed said things to Donatello and the purple masked clad soaked the towel cloth and put it on Michelangelo's forehead. At this the young clad seemed to calm down a little. Sadly every time the cloth lost its coldness he would start thrashing again. Donatello was starting to panic, he had no idea what was happening to their brother. "Raph I need you to fill the bathroom tub with cold water" Raphael nodded and went out of the room. Donatello now looked at Leonardo and said "Leo see if you can contact Leader-Head and ask him if he could meet us here. If not call April, maybe she might know what type of fever Mikey has" Leonardo nodded and also headed out of the room. 'Oh Mikey, what's going on with you?' Donatello thought with worry.

After what seemed hours Michelangelo finally cooled down. With Leatherhead's help they discovered that the three chemicals that Donatello could not identify weren't even from earth they were chemicals that were only found in some parts of space.

"Now the only questions that remain are; why are those chemicals in his body? Who put injected it to him and why?" Said Leonardo to his brothers, Leatherhead and the human. Looking up he saw Raphael already heading for the door. "Raph where are you going? We need to discuss a plan" Leonardo scolded the second oldest. "OUT!" Raphael shouted opening and slamming the door shut after he went through it.

The red masked terrapin walked among the shadows in silence. Making sure no one saw or heard him. He walked to central park without really thinking about it. It was as if he was in auto-pilot. He sat near the lake that has always been there. Raphael liked coming here mostly because of the tranquility it always had. "Aw geez, and here I thought I was the only one here" a feminine voice came from behind. Raphael sprang into action at that moment taking out his twin Sais. "Don't worry I'm not here to fight. Mainly 'cus I'm not a fighting people person and secondly I'm unarmed" she said and sat down in front of the lake. Raphael put away his Sais but instead of sitting he turned to walk away. "I didn't come here to take yer spot you know. You can stay. It doesn't bother neither me nor the lake so why leave?" the girl said. The terrapin was weighing his options he did want some time away from the lair but also he didn't want to risk blowing his identity. The girl patted the ground next to her and waited patiently for the turtle.

Raphael sighed and sat back down on the ground where the shadows covered his body. Away from the girl, so she couldn't see him.

Minutes passed and neither of them spoke one word. The girl was distracted by the lake as was Raph. At least that's what he thought until she said.

"He must be in pretty bad shape if you do not dare to see him"

Raph's head snapped towards the girl's direction, eyes growing wide. She was now standing. He stood quickly prepared for anything that might come his way. Slowly reaching for his Sais again. Only to find they weren't there. 'what the!?' he thought. "Like it told you I don't want to fight." The girl said getting Raphael's attention. He saw that in her hand were his two custom made Sai blades. Raphael was rapidly becoming angry. He never liked anyone touching his Sais without his permission.

The girl sensing that he was becoming angry decided to return what was rightfully his. Stretching her arm towards him she said "I noticed that you were reaching for them. I took them because I thought you would attack."

He reluctantly took them back. Putting them back where they belong. "How did you know?" Raph asked. Speaking for the first time since the girl got there.

"Oh so you do speak?" she said amazed. "Anyways, let's say it was mostly written all over your body movements"

"A sixth sense?"

"Yeah, something like that. Name's Cree by the way" The girl said looking at the figure next to her.

"Raphael" the terrapin said crossing his arms.

"Why so monotone?" she asked.

"Why so trusting?" Raphael replied. The girl looked surprised by what the turtle said. She chuckle and said "who ever said I was?"

"Then why are you talking to me, a complete stranger? For all you know I could be a mugger" he said. Cree looked up and turned to where he was, seriousness taking her young features.

"Sadly for you I actually know WHO and WHAT you are Raphael Hamato"

To the next chappie's~ :D
