Michelangelo/Mikey's P.O.V.

"Chicken noodle soup again?! From a can? What's wrong with you people?! What did I do to deserve this?! Especially since you let Leo do it!" I cried out to my nearest brother Raph, but despite my woes and worries he only shook his head at me.

"Raphie! Why couldn't you cook instead? Soup isn't that hard!" I groaned as my head yelled in protest to the thought that Leo was in the kitchen. MY kitchen!

"Mikey, if you complain one more time...I'm not going to move ya to the couch!" he said with a glint of determination in his eyes.

"...b-but-" I started to say but he growled,

"You are going to eat and drink this...whether ya WANT TO OR NOT!" Raph shouted at me.

"Raph...yelling at Mikey isn't going to make him eat and I only broke the toaster one time! Jeez, I don't have to be a genius to microwave canned soup!" My older brother Leo said with a slight look of wounded pride on his face as he came into the lab/infirmary carrying the food.

"You made it explode from the inside out Leo, just by making toast and then the black ashes somehow burst into flames once we got it out of the toaster...we have a right to be wary." Donnie reminded him as he sat me up to eat.

"It never happened again after that!" Leo argued.

"That's because Mike wouldn't let ya into the kitchen after that." Raph added in as he and Leo started to argue about it.

I looked to Donnie for some comfort because I didn't really want them to fight. If I was healthy I would ignore it but I couldn't move. My body wouldn't let me and they were yelling at each other right in front of me!

Don seemed to understand just by looking at me and I knew he felt the same way. He didn't really like them fighting either...especially not now.

Donnie made it clear to me that he was the peacekeeper and I shouldn't try to stop them.

I started to remember that day...we were kids in the old lair when we just got our practice weapons. We used wood weapons instead of the real things because I accidentally cut myself on something sharp.

I bled on the floor but it wasn't serious, just a small cut. Raph instantly blamed Leo's Katanas and how he practiced with them without looking out for bystanders.

Leo on the other hand blamed Raph on how he was being careless and brash.

I tried to stop them both by tackling them but instead of stopping them, they accidentally hurt me while they fought against each other.

I only got a few bruises and two more cuts but just that they hurt me and didn't even notice made me cry.

Donnie was just starting to make his lab back then but he must have heard the sounds of their fight coming from the dojo. He ran in looked at me, then ran back out, came back in with a first-aid kit, bandaged me up as he observed Leo and Raph's fight.

When he finished with my injuries he grabbed his huge Bo-staff and whacked them both in the head. I was speechless and anyone would be able to tell because my mouth fell to the floor and didn't come back up with any sound.

"You're both to blame! Instead of helping Mikey, you fought each other while letting him bleed on the floor!" Don said with an icy voice as he got their attention.

Don stared at them with a hard look until Leo tried to speak but Don wouldn't let either of them talk. He then pointed to me and spoke with a deadly calm voice, "He tried to stop you from the looks of it and look at his reward!"

I froze as he walked up to me and pulled my arm towards my brothers and shouted, "YOU BOTH DID THIS!" showing them my bandages. A scary silence came into the room as Don said in a calm, small voice... "Say sorry to Mikey. From now on I am the peacekeeper so no. more. Fighting!"

I remember that day like it was yesterday! I had never seen Don that aggressive until that day and it still gave me goosebumps.

Just then I felt my heart stop for a second and I broke into a cold sweat.
'what the shell?' was the only thought had I had before I fell back into darkness.

Donatello/Donnie or Don's P.O.V.

"Beeep!" that sound scarred me for life, no, for eternity! I only put Mikey on the heart monitor as a precaution but the fact that Mikey fainted after his heart stopped made my blood run cold.

"MIKEY! DON WHAT HAPPENED?!" Leo and Raph yelled at me in sync as I did a quick check on Mikey's vitals.
When I was completely sure Mikey was ok for the time being, I spoke.

"Guys, I...don't know how to say this...but I don't know what happened. I'm going to do a blood test while he's asleep to see if I can get anymore information on what just happened. This has me concerned though...maybe its not just the flu he's infected with."
My two older brothers looked at each other with worried faces...but I don't know what else to tell them.

It is possible that Mikey might diagnosed with something more fatal and the flu is a symptom...or this is a more advanced flu caused by the regular flu and our mutated genes...or it could be Mikey went into a mini shock which caused him to faint but it's not likely...or-

"EARTH TO DONATELLO!" Raph roared with impatience as he threw me out of my train of thought.

"Yes Raphael?!" I shot his legal name (if you can call it that) right back at him in annoyance.

"We have called your name for a while now to get your attention for the past ten minutes! Don what happened to Mikey?" Leo asked with more patience than I had at the moment.

"Leo, if I knew I wouldn't be thinking about what it could be, plus I would have told you!" I snapped in frustration, while looking through my medical books I received from April...April! Of course! She might know something I don't!

"Donnie ya got that i-has-an-idea look on your face. Spill yer guts." Raph said as I turned around to tell them, "Call April over, she can help me find out what Mikey has!"

April's P.O.V.

"Can you come over? Mikey is really sick..." Leo's concerned voice told me everything I needed to know.

"I'll bring some supplies and be right over soon." I answered, making a list on what to bring.

"Thanks April...we really appreciate it." Leo said over the phone.

"You guys are like family to me, so don't worry about it. I'll see you soon alright?"

"Yeah...see you soon."

"Bye." I said as I hung up and started to look for a very big bag to carry the medicines, health products, anything that might be able to help out.

"...maybe I should go to the store..."
