Author's Note: This is still on a slight hiatus. This update means NOTHING! XD Seriously, though, I had THIS part finished back when the fic went on its hiatus. I was just struggling to finish the next scene to make it a good long chapter. Though, I looked back on what I had and felt...pity. I have to at least finish THIS first scene! It's Mikey's current dilemma I've been battling recently. Stay tuned for a little help session after. I NEED to break this writer's block!

When Jared said they had arrived, Raph handed Mikey over to Donny and gave his younger brother a glare. "Now go." He said in a harsh whisper. When Donny refused to move, Jared took his hand and started pulling him to the exit.

"Alright, alright! I'm going!" Donny said as he finally started moving.

Raph watched until he was out of sight before he turned towards the lab's door. He looked into the window of the door to survey the room inside. All he could see was a lab table and counters laden with chemicals in beakers and other such tools Raph couldn't name. At one of the counters, Svone was sitting at a computer system; that was all Raph needed to see. He wanted to burst into the room right then, but he knew that may not be a good idea. He didn't think he could fight Svone at that moment with his brothers all needing him and his father possibly dying back at the lair.

When he saw Svone get up and disappear out of his sight through another door, Raph took his chance. He quietly opened the door and looked inside. His eyes landed on Leonardo's slumped form on the floor and he quickly ran over. "Leo, hey, come on, wake up, bro!" Raph whispered as he lifted his elder brother off the floor. Leo didn't respond, causing Raph to worry. His hand touched a strange wetness behind Leo's head and he quickly looked at his brother's blood on his hand. Turning Leo's head a little, Raph saw where the blood was coming from: a bruised cut Raph assumed was caused by being hit by something hard. He didn't think it looked too serious and he knew he had to get out of here soon. He lifted Leo up over his shoulder and started to run out of the room, still trying to rouse his unconscious brother.

He made it outside the premises without incident and was glad to see Donny waiting for him with Mikey. "Is he okay?" Don asked with a glance at Leo as they headed home.

"I don't know…" Raph answered, "He was hit hard on tha back o' his head and he hasn't woken up yet."

"I'll check him out when we get home."

"No, yer goin' ta bed. I'll look at 'im." Raph said with a pointed glare. Donny just sighed and looked away in response, knowing he could not argue.

Raph was there when Leo woke up the next morning. The elder turtle instantly brought a hand to the back of his head before he even opened his eyes. The groan from his brother told Raph that Leo's head was paining him. "'Bout time ya woke up." Raph said quietly.

Leo quickly opened one eye to glance at him before he spoke. "How long was I out…?" He asked as he tried to remember what happened prior to cause his head so much pain.

"Eh, about six hours. How ya feelin'?" Raph asked next.

"Like somebody took a drill to my head…" Leo slowly rolled to a sitting position and cradled his head in his hands. "Ugh, what happened to me anyway?"

"Rememba tha fight with Svone?"

"Ah, kinda." He slowly rubbed a hand along his bandaged head. "I remember attacking him but…I think that's all I can remember before everything goes fuzzy…"

"Well Svone caught ya fer a litta bit." Raph said.

"What about Mikey? And Master Splinter?" Leo asked, his voice going up a little as he remembered.

"Mikey's…up in his room probably. He can't remember a thing… and Splinter… He's not doin' very good… Tha bastards broke his spine. He'll neva walk again even if he does recover…"

Where…where am I? I look at my surroundings. It feels like I should remember them but…why can't I? At least I'm not tied up anymore… I get off the bed and stumble to the door. It takes me a few times to get it open before I walk out onto a balcony.

"Mikey?"

I look around, trying hard to place where I am. But…but nothing's clicking… What's wrong with me? Where am I?! I back away from the railing but freeze when I bump into something. I whirl around and stare at it- him…

"Mikey, you should stay in your room for now…"

"…Huh?" I look around myself to make sure he's talking to me. "M-me?"

"Yes…" He's says it almost sadly. His eyes do not meet mine anymore. What did I do…?

"I-I'm sorry…?" I'm still so confused.

"No." He says, firmly, "It's not you." He nearly looks at me then before his eyes go back down. "I didn't want to believe it…"

"Huh?"

He shook his head and I saw him smile. "Forget about it. Just… Nevermind. Are you hungry?"

"I don't know…" My eyes skirt around my surroundings. "Um…where-where am I…?"

His sigh causes my eyes to find him again. "Home. Just home."

"Oh…" Why don't I know that?

"Mew?"

I nearly jump when something furry brushes against my leg and then something wet. I glance down at the orange cat. "Mew?" It looks at me with sad eyes. Why?

"Hey, come here kitty." I hear him say and I turn to see him bent down with a hand out. My eyes watch the purple fabric stream out behind his head almost mesmerized. "I'll get you some milk."

"Mew?" My eyes are drawn back to the cat as its tail flicks back and forth against my leg; its eyes watching his fingers. Finally its ear twitches before it starts to walk forward and rubs against his hand.

"Good kitty." He says as he scratches behind the cat's ears and then lifts him off the ground. "Sorry." He says to me. And then he's gone.

I look after him before reaching my hand back and grip the fabric there to bring it forward: orange. I play with it between my fingers. Why is that important…? What does it mean?

The fabric slips from my fingers as I slammed with a migraine so fierce, I end up on my knees. I don't even know when I start screaming…

Raph was on his feet and at the door of the lab as soon as the screaming began. "Donny! What's goin' on?!" He yelled before turning his head at the sound of movement behind him. "Don't even think about it, Leo. Ya ain't goin' anywhere."

"Raph." Was Leo's only growled complaint as he head fell back on the cot. His eyes still watched the door.

"Donny?!" Raph tried again.

"I'm busy, Raph!" Donny yelled back.

"What's goin' on?!"

"It's Mikey!"

No one noticed Splinter's fingers twitch…

The screaming eventually stopped, but Mikey didn't wake up. Donny said it had something to do with escaping pain. Raph didn't care. He just wanted his brother's eyes to open again. He also wanted Mikey's memory to return when he did and he wanted his sensei to be alright. The old rat hadn't woken yet either. Only Leo was finally allowed to do as he wished when Donny determined his head injury wouldn't deter him from doing so.

The hours were piling up, but Mikey was still unmoving. Raph's hatred of Svone grew with each second that ticked away. He swore vengeance. He was going to hunt him down and kill him for all this. His little brothers shouldn't have to suffer. He could see how Donny was still trying to cope with his own imprisonment. This definitely wasn't helping.

"Donny, why ain't he wakin' up?" Raph finally asked after hours of waiting.

"It's a coma, Raph." Donny sighed, having thought the same thing for some time now. "He'll wake up when he's ready."

"Guys, April called." Leo said as he walked over, rubbing his fingers over his head injury. "She's coming down…"

"Is your head bothering you?" Donny asked immediately.

"No, just itches a little." Leo said, quickly removing his hand like he was caught doing something bad.

"It's probably healing then. Don't itch it."

Leo barely acknowledged that as he continued. "She's bringing Chinese. She wouldn't take no for an answer. Do you think you guys can eat?"

"I guess," Raph said, "Aren't real hungry though."

"Same here." Donny added.

"Didn't think so. Try to eat anyway. Neither of you have eaten all day."

"Same goes fer you, fearless." Raph said with a glance at him.

"I can't eat…" He said as his eyes found his sensei's unmoving form.

"If we do, you will too." Donny said pointedly as he wrapped his arm around his eldest brother.

"I'll try." Again, his fingers found the injury on the back of his head. The gesture was near unconsciously done.

"Leo."

And then they were at his sides again as if nothing had happened.
