Yay, new chappie! I appreciated everyone's reviews, I actually did a happy dance! My sister gave me a weird look but it was worth it.
Ok! I've decided to address the peeps who did review, so here goes.
RascalKat: *Chuckles maniacally* Challenge accepted. Can't promise the alpaca will be ok, but... I got nothin. It might die. And oh yeah, creepy is that guys' middle name.
yukio87: whoa whoa, slow down! Ok, um... you'll find out here, halfwayish, some scury stuff, I have that decided and you will find out later, it will match up accordingly with their personalities, and you'll have to find that one out on your own! Don't worry, plenty of Leo whump to be had!
Guest (efarraiz): My Spanish sucks, I'm only in Spanish 1, but from what I got: Yes he did it so his brothers would not get hurt, I shall not tell what that 'it' is though. Mwahaha.
Guest: Thanks! Shan't tell yet, they will in this chapter (thanks for pointing that out) and yes they will take care of them as much as they can! Which is... not much... but... *ahem* yeah. Lastly, probably won't do that, but everything is open as of now.
Whew! Ok, four reviews, so as promised, I will start writing now.
Ya derpy disclaimer, I don't own anything. If I did, would I be here?
Leo looked around. Now that they were alone, they could at least try to discuss plans to escape, as futile as it seemed at the moment. Raph was still out, and considering the high amount of elecricity his body took, he would probably stay that way for at least half an hour.
Mikey was telling them knock-knock jokes, probably to try and keep their minds from the bigger problem. The one they couldn't solve.
Donnie had all but given up on trying to get out of the chains, because one, they were above his head so there was no way he could even see them, and two, the smartest brother had nothing to pick it with.
Leo laughed half-heartedly at Mikey's last joke.
"Ok, ok. I have another. Knock knock!"
Donnie rolled his eyes good-naturedly, glad for the distraction. "Who's there?"
"Little old lady."
"Little old lady who?"
"Wow, I didn't know you could yodel!" Mikey laughed as Donnie huffed and rolled his eyes again.
Leo chuckled. "You got anymore Mikey?"
Said youngest frowned slightly. "No, that was my last one. I can't think of anymore. Sorry."
Donnie gave him a half smile. "It's ok, Mikey. Thanks for the ones you told us."
The room seemed to get darker without the laughter. The three turtles looked over at their sleeping brother. The twitches had stopped by now, and according to Donnie he would be fine after he woke up.
Mikey chewed his lip. He knew Donnie was thinking about it too, asking Leo what he had agreed to. Even when they were little, they were told to never intrude on someone's privacy. Mikey decided this counted as that, but he couldn't hold it in anymore. He just had to know what was going to happen to his eldest brother.
He cleared his throat. "Um, Leo?"
Leo looked over, sensing the seriousness in his youngest brother's voice. He also noticed how Mikey's eyes wouldn't meet his own.
"Yeah, Mikey?"
He shifted in his chains, making them clink together. "What did the doctor ask you? Right before he left earlier?"
It was Leo's turn to chew his lip now. He knew they deserved to know, but he didn't want them to feel guilty about anything.
"He, uh, asked me if I would do anything to protect my brothers. He said Raph was already lined up for the worst of the tests, but there is another test nearly as bad. I agreed to do it, just as long as you two wouldn't be hurt. I'm sorry, I really am, it's just that this is my responsibility."
"Responsibility my ass." Two shocked pairs of eyes snapped to Donnie. He never cursed, not around them at least. That was usually Raph's job.
"Don, if I didn't do this, one of you two would be hurt, and I don't know how badly. I'm just trying to keep you safe." Leo tried to explain after the shock of hearing his little brother cuss wore off.
Donnie just glared. He opened his mouth to reply, but Mikey beat him to it.
"Leo, I know how you feel, but we can handle ourselves. We may be younger, but that doesn't mean we aren't as strong as you and Raph."
Leo stumbled over his next words. "No, I didn't mean you two aren't... it's just that... I can't sit there and know that I could have done something to keep my brothers from being hurt! If I didn't say yes to that... that creep, I would hate myself, so... much."
The two younger turtles looked at each other, both having a loss for words. Deep down, they had both known what Leo had just confirmed. Heck, if they were in his situation, they would have done the same.
Lucky for them, Raph broke the growing silence with a groan.
"Maann, what kind 'o bus hit m'," He slurred.
All three turtles gasped. "RAPH!"
Said turtle winced. "Not so louud, m' ears hur'. An' eyes. An' th' rest o' m'..."
Donnie could tell they were losing him. "Raph," He whisper-yelled, "You need to stay awake, ok? I know you want to fall asleep, but it's possible you have a concussion judging by the way you're sluring. Stay with us, buddy."
Raph's eyes opened a little more and he nodded. "Mmkay Don. Wha'ever you say."
Leo and Mikey stared. All three of them wished they could go over and help or even comfort their injured brother, but the chains wouldn't budge.
Mikey's face brightened suddenly. "I just realized! Raph didn't hear all my awesome knock-knock jokes! Ok, this time, Raph will say 'Who's there?' instead of Donnie. Ok Raphie?"
Raph chuckled lowly. "How can I possibly refuse?"
Leo decided to join in. "Exactly; you can't. He has those puppy dog eyes rigged or something."
That got all four of them to laugh. For the first time since their capture, all four of them were awake and smiling. And even if it was for just a short time, it felt good.
From a room in the facility, Dr. McVay smiled. The cameras and microphones he had set up were working perfectly. This way, he could get to know them without even having the creatures know he was there. The perfect plan.
A knock at his door made him turn around. The Dr. looked expectantly at the man who entered. Seeing what the man had in his hands made him smile.
"Perfect, Lyle. Those will work just wonderfully on the blue one. But first," He got up and went over to a cage hidden in the corner. "We should test this first to make sure it works how it's supposed to, don't you agree?"
Opening the cage, he pulled out an alpaca by the reins.
Lyle snorted. "All right, but you have to hold him still. I know how much these things hate needles." He advanced and pulled off the cap, exposing a large, sharp needle filled with a clear, watery liquid.
The alpaca tried to move away, but McVay wouldn't allow it. "Now, now, we don't want you running off. Don't worry, its just a small pinch, and then... well, if it works, you'll feel like flying."
Lyle carefully inserted the needle and empited it's contents. He patted the animal and waited for the effects to take place.
The alpaca stopped struggling. It stumbled forwards before suddenly careening left and losing its footing, falling against the wall and knocking over a tray with a crash. It's pupils tripled in size before it stopped moving, just the occaisional paw at the ground.
McVay smiled and patted Lyle's shoulder in approval. "I'd say that worked quite nicely. We'll let the turtles spend the night together before we start taking them to their respected rooms. See that Dr. Oakly is ready for Raphael by tomorrow morning, hmm?"
Lyle nodded and walked out.
Alone with the alpaca which was currently... incapacitated, Dr. McVay turned back to his computer. The orange one was telling knock-knock jokes. It took him a while to think of a test for that one. He was so... happy. Optimistic.
So, of course the only thing to do for that one was make everything a complete and utter... nightmare. Only, he wouldn't be able to wake up.
The purple one, now he was a hard one. Very smart, he knew about a lot in the medical field. The Dr. would think of something later for that one.
The blue one- Leo, he remembered, would be drugged of course. And nothing was off limits, as long as he didn't accidentally overdose. Can't have subjects dying, now can we?
The red one. Yes, that one would have the physically painful tests. Usually, he split those tests between two subjects, but that one made him angry. And from the way that turtle talked, he seemed tough enough to take all of it. The Doc chuckled. He wouldn't last three weeks. Not one creature could withstand the pain that Dr. Oakly thought up. He was a very... violent man.
McVay steepled his fingers as he watched the live feed of the room. He would find out everything about these... things. Inside and out.
All he had to do was wait for tomorrow.
Alrighty there's another chapter done! Point out any loopholes, mistakes, tell me what you would like to see in the future. Yes I do have something planned for Donnie, and by my standards it is EVIL.
Okey dokey, I thank everyone who reviewed for this chapter! I will begin writing the next one when I get... four? reviews? That sound reasonable? I don't want to go overboard or anything.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! Till next time, See ya later Alligator!
