Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays ;)

Chapter 2: We Can Run

Before he even realized what he was doing; Raph burst through the doors causing the two adults inside to turn around wildly.

"Get away from him?" He ordered loudly; swinging a punch with everything he had at the man which only left him in pain of his own. "What the?" He asked as he held his hand in discomfort before looking up to find that the man had not only seemed unfazed by the attack, but had remained on his feet with the same bored expression.

But of course there was one little thing missing – and that being the guy's freaking face.

"You're a robot?" Raph asked in shock, feeling for all the world like he'd just falling into a comic book as the machine reached out to take hold of his arm. "Let go!" He demanded before the thing started dragging him away from Donnie with little effort.

"No! Leave him alone!" He called back as he noticed the woman moving back to the table to continue with whatever they had been doing to his brother before the interruption, which caused the teen's anger to rise in a way that he's never experienced before.

"I said LEAVE HIM ALONE!" He screamed at the top of his lungs before swinging out at the robot once again, but this time his strike connected. His fist ultimately crushed the metal head like it was tinfoil leaving him slightly shocked until he remembered what he was doing and broke away as the machine crumbled to the ground finally allowing him to run back to Donnie.

"Get away!" He ordered the woman, lifting his fists threateningly which caused her to quickly jump back, clearly getting the picture that he was not to be trifled with. Immediately using the time to collect his brother; Raph then turned back to the door and ran, ignoring the protests of the female robot as he high-tailed it down the hall nearly running straight into Mrs. Conway as he did.

"Raphael, what –" She started to ask in shock but he wasn't willing to give her the chance to finished the question as he was more concerned about getting himself and his brother out of that building before the robots caught up with them.

"Get away from me!" He ordered in a panic, quickly throwing a fake punch in an attempt to scare her away.

When she shrieked in terror he knew immediately that she wasn't a robot, but that only meant to him that she was in on it,and as two other caretakers stuck their heads out of their offices to see what was going on Raph made sure to avoid them like the plague as he ran for the front door again.

However when he looked back to see if anyone was catching up to him, he only found Mrs. Campbell calmly walking after him like something out of a horror movie, though by then he had thankfully reached the door and jumped the flight of steps in a single bound to land on the public sidewalk which he felt provided him a small level of protection as he ran back toward the school; all the while chanting under his breath.

"This isn't happening, this isn't happening."

…

"Raph?" Donnie mumbled as said teen ran down the halls of the school, still carrying his brother like he weighed less than a feather.

"Donnie." Raphael responded, quickly maneuvering him around as he could sit him on a bench. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." He answered in a confused manner. "What's going on?"

"Ya wouldn't believe me if I told ya." Raph declared as he looked around in an attempt to right his mind again and remember which classroom Leo and Mikey were in. "Just stay here okay, I'll be right back." He commanded before getting up to run down the hall toward the science room.

Of course once he got there he managed to make an even bigger scene than he would have originally by pulling the door right off its hinges in an attempt to open it. But he'd have to be forgiven for not really giving a shit at the moment.

"What in the world?" The teacher declared in shock as the teen moved to avoid her, not willing to risk interacting with anyone in fear that they were all working with the machines.

"Raph?" Leo's voice brought him out of his panic attack and he quickly looked around to find his older brother on his feet at his desk; looking at him with a worried expression.

"Leo, we gotta go, we gotta go right NOW!" He ordered rushing over to collect his sibling, forcing part of his brain to recognize that his strength seemed to be on overdrive and worked to avoid hurting him.

"Raph, what's going on?" Leo asked again as he was bullied from the room.

"Raphael, what is the meaning of this?" The teacher ordered suddenly right in his personal space causing him to jump like a frightened deer.

"Get away from me!" Raph called in a panic leaving her to stand there in shock as he started forcing Leo to move again.

"Raph, wait – what is –" He started to complain again until his brother rounded on him.

"NO Leo, we can't wait. We gotta get Mikey and get out a here."

"What, why?"

"I'll explain later –" Raph started again only to look over Leo's shoulder and see something he really did want to.

"Your brother is sick." The robot known more commonly as Mrs. Campbell stated calmly as she pulled Donnie to his feet. "He should not be at school." She added sternly as Don attempted to pull away from her, more in response to the way Raph was staring at her in horror then his own concern, but then her grip tightened around his arm like an iron rod and the message became clear.

"Hey." He complained loudly. "That hurts."

"Let him go!" Raph ordered putting his fists up, ready to fight her but she promptly pulled Donnie around to use as a shield, forcing him to back up again.

"Hey!" Leo got in now, none too happy with the way she was treating his sibling. "Let him go."

"You will come with me now." She proclaimed casually as if she did this kind of thing everyday, but for all they knew she did.

"Forget that, let him go!" Raph commanded angrily, but her only response was to twist Donnie's arm behind his back and bare down on him so that they actually heard something pop; causing him to cry out in pain.

"Stop it!" Leo ordered loudly, nearly ready to flat-out attack her by this point, only stopping as he realized that would only cause more torture for Donnie.

"You will come with me now." She repeated just before her head became lost in the confines of the giant Viking head that had stood with its body at the end of the hall only moments before.

Thankfully this caused her to release Donnie and Raph was at his side in a moment, leaving the woman to continue struggling to release herself as none other than – Mikey quietly walked out from behind her with a slightly bemused look about him.

"Hey guys." He called with a little wave in their direction just before Mrs. Campbell broke free of the giant head with a freaky ray of light; allowing her to turn toward the youngest with glowing red eyes.

"Mikey, get over here." Leo ordered and their little brother promptly bolted toward them allowing Leo to collect him before the four started running again.

"What is going on?" Donnie demanded as he managed to keep up with his brothers; even though he was clearly still sick (or otherwise) and was now forced to hold his injured arm to his body, unable to move it without feeling pain.

"Just keep running!" Leo commanded looking back to find the woman walking down the hall after them once more.

"That's gonna be a problem." Mikey announced as they all came to a screeching halt in response to a whole heard of Mr. K lookalikes walking around the corner to block their getaway.

"What the heck?" Donnie responded in shock as Leo looked around for another escape only to find a second group of them charging down a hall on their right.

"Get down!" He called as he rushed to tackle his brothers out of the way, only to hit a nearby wall where the weirdness continued and they proceeded to phase right through it into the thankfully empty classroom on the other side.

"Whoa!" Mikey proclaimed understandably flabbergasted by this, "Okay – when did you turn into a super hero?" He added nervously.

"It was somethin' they did." Raph told them as they got back to their feet. "They were doin' somethin' ta Donnie when I found him, they must have done it ta us too."

"They were?" Donnie asked in confusion before the door to the room suddenly started to shake as someone pounded on it from the other side.

"We'll discuss it later." Leo ordered as he got them moving again, quickly heading for the windows where they were able to finally escape the mad house, only to look back through the glass and discover the robots had knocked down the blockage and were coming after them again.

"Go, go, go!" Leo commanded as he pushed his siblings ahead of him and they rushed into the city, never once stopping to look back at what they were leaving behind.
