Raphael placed his hand on Don's knee. "Hey lil bro; cheer up. Ya did good. Everything's gonna be alright." Donatello shot his head up. He couldn't believe his eyes. Raphael kneeled before him completely unharmed. Stunned, he reached to touch his brother. "Raph, you're alright and healed. But how? I saw you die. I watched as we killed you. You can't be here right now; you just can't." The rational side of Donatello's brain told him that this isn't real but how can he be dreaming if he is already awake. His mind raced as evident in his eyes. Raphael saw his brother's eyes racing and knew; once again, he was over thinking. "Brainiac, quit over thinking for once and listen; just leave everything ta me and I'll take care of it. Don't worry about anything." Don was confused; not quite sure what Raph meant by that."But Raph; how can you take care of anything when I can't even save you? I failed and you are paying the ultimate price for my failure." Tears fell from Don's eyes. His body racked with uncontrollable sobs. Raphael wrapped his arms around his genius brother. "Ya didn't fail at anything Don. Especially ya didn't fail me. Without you Donatello, I would have been dead a long time ago. Remember all the times ya stitched me up cause I went running off again." Raph tried to reassure his brother. "Yes I did Raphael. And from what I've seen; I attacked you out of vengeance. For all the times you woke me up cause you went out looking for fights again. I heard myself taking pleasure in hitting you for all the times you woke me up and took advantage of me never wanting to say no. You can't even tell me it's not true." Raphael didn't want but as with Mikey, he wasn't going to tell Don what happened. "Tell me Raphael, did we attack you?" Raphael pushed Donatello away just enough to level eyes with him. "I can't answer that; yer gonna have ta figure that out yerself. But I will tell you this Donatello; you are not a failure and you have not failed me. Understand that bro, ya didn't. Just promise me that you'll stay yerself and keep taking care of Leo and Mikey. They need ya Donnie. Just keep doing what ya do best and taking care of us. Like I said, let me handle this and everything will be alright. Ya can't lose me that easily and from now on; I'll start taking care of my own minor wounds." Donatello nodded. "Just like you told Mikey." Raph smiled. Good, he had gotten his message across. "Yep just like I told Mikey. Now it's time for ya ta wake up." Donatello snapped open his eyes. He looked down at his brother. "Thanks Raphael."
