Chapter 4

"Raph can tell you," Leo said.

Raph frowned at Leo, "Why can't you?"

"Oh I just thought you would like to," Leo replied.

"Donnie got mind controlled by the Kraang when we ran into them on our way back home. We're injured because when Donnie attacked the Kraang, the Kraang thought Donnie was still on our side. So the Kraang started to attack us, and there was a lot of Kraang droids," Mikey said.

Leo and Raph were both surprised. It was in fact Raph's fault that the Kraang shot at them. Also it was some what Raph's fault Donnie got mind controlled.

Splinter was silent for a while, but after maybe three minutes of silence he spoke, "Come my sons. We should get you cleaned up." Splinter headed towards Donnie's lab.

"Mikey why did you not tell him what really happened?" Raph asked.

"I can't stand seeing you two fight anymore plus I hate seeing you get in trouble. Its been happening a lot lately. I just need a break with all this stuff going on," Mikey replied. He started towards the lab.

Leo and Raph silently followed. Leo gave Raph a frown before he entered the lab. Raph used the wall to help him inside. In the lab, Mikey was sitting on a table as Splinter worked on his arm. Splinter was carefully taking the bullet out of Mikey's arm using tweezers. Once the bullet was out, Master Splinter cleaned the blood off of his arm. Then he grabbed antibiotics to prevent infection. After that Master Splinter carefully wrapped up Mikey's arm. The bandage was soaked with his blood not long after it was on.

"We'll change the bandage before you go to bed. Raphael come here," Splinter said helping Mikey down. Raph sat on the table. Splinter cleaned the tweezers and started with Raph's arm.

"So what should we be doing?" Leo asked Splinter.

Splinter sighed, "We will figure something out."

"Hopefully soon...ow," Raph yelped as Splinter took the bullet out. Splinter did the same process he did with Mikey. Then he went to Raph's leg. The leg was a problem and would take longer to heal.

"You are going to have to take it slow, so your leg can heal," Splinter said.

"What?! But then how can I go help Donnie out?" Raph said.

"You will have to wait," Splinter said. Raph hated that. He wanted to help Donnie not sit and wait till his leg heals.

"Don't worry Raph we will keep you updated with everything that happens," Mikey promised.

"But I want to help out," Raph said.

"I'm sorry Raph you can't," Leo said. Raph sighed.

"Well I'm going to bed," Mikey yawned.

"Let me change the bandage," Splinter said grabbing a new one. After wrapping up Mikey's arm they both walked out.

"You can't keep me in the lair while you go help Donnie," Raph said to Leo.

"If you would've just let the Kraang go none of this would've happened," Leo said back to him.

Raph kept quiet. What could he say to that? Raph stared down at his bloodied bandage. He was going to have to change it soon. Leo noticed Raph reaching for another bandage.

"Want help with that?" Leo asked. Raph smiled in agreement. Leo carefully took the bloodied bandage off, cleaned the blood, and put a new bandage on. "Come on let's get some rest." Leo helped Raph to his room then went to his own.

In the morning Raph checked his leg. The bandage was soaked in blood. The bandage on his arm was soaked too, but it was dry blood. Raph walked out of his room. He didn't know what time it was, but Raph guessed it was early considering he was the only one up. He walked into Donnie's lab. Raph grabbed for a new bandage, and started unwrapping the one on his leg. When Raph took it off, he wanted to cry. It was still bleeding. No signs of any blood clotting. "This whole having to wait thing is going to be longer than I thought," Raph thought.

Raph stood up. He didn't want to wait anymore. "I can fight with a hurt leg," Raph thought. Raph walked into the dojo. He began training. It hurt, but if he wanted to prove himself he had to suck it up. Raph took out his sais and spun them around in his hands. He kicked his good leg in the air. Raph winced at the pain of all his weight going on his bad leg.

"What are you doing Raph?" Leo shouted at him.

Raph jumped. When he saw that it was Leo he took a deep breath. "I can do this. I don't need to sit and do nothing."

"Are you kidding me? Look at your leg," Leo said.

"Uh," Raph looked down at his leg. The blood was dripping down Raph's leg. Raph wasn't a doctor and noticed that he didn't tie the bandage that well.

"Follow me," Leo said leaving the dojo. They headed towards Donnie's lab. Leo grabbed a new bandage and wrapped Raph's leg up. "Sit on the couch and stay on there," Leo commanded.

Raph sat on the couch having his bad leg laying across the couch, and his other one dangling on the side of the couch. Raph turned the TV on. "This is Channel 6 news. There has been an explosion and robbery at the bank. This explosion killed six people. The police have investigated the crime scene to see who could have done this, but only found one clue." They showed a picture of the clue. It was a picture of one of their shurikens. Which means Donnie must be behind this.
