The moment they entered the room they knew they should've fought, at least have done something but they didn't. The room was filled with 2 examination tables and there were chains all over the place. Leo and Raph nervously glanced over to each other. The woman snickered because of their reaction and walked towards one examination table and placed Raph's sphere on top of it.

The sphere snapped and for a second Raph felt himself paralyzed. She used the moment to restrain him to the table by his ankles and wrists.

"Let him go. Don't hurt him!" Leo screamed as he desperately tried to move but somehow he couldn't. The woman left Raph alone and turned towards Leo. Her own hollow, purple eyes glanced towards Leo and a shiver went down his spine. Without even saying a single word to him she walked over to the other table.

"Don't ya hurt him. I dare you!" Raph growled from the other table and desperately tried to break his restrains. The iron cuffs cut into his skin but he didn't care. He just wanted to get out of here. Away from this table.

The woman ignored Raph's pleadings and suddenly a dark purple light encircled the sphere of Leo. An agonizing scream erupted from Leo's throat and he convulsed from the pain. A second later his sphere snapped too. Leo sank back on the lab table and remained move less

"Leo!" Raph screamed out. He wasn't moving, Leo wasn't moving! The woman just snickered and placed Leo's wrists and ankles in the restraints too but didn't lock them. Raph frowned slightly when she tilted the table in a vertical position. The restrains prevented him from falling down but when he moved he could just walk off the table.

When Leo slowly came by he blinked a few times, trying to clear his vision. His eyes widened when he saw the woman standing in front of him and he found himself on the examination table. He expected to be restrained but when he looked he saw he wasn't. He frowned and wanted to move but then realized something.

"Raph" Leo squeaked. "I can't move" He whispered and trailed his eyes towards Raph. He couldn't move! He couldn't feel his muscles. He couldn't move his limps. He could just walk away, but he couldn't move! He wasn't restrained but he couldn't leave.

"Very observant" The woman spoke and walked away from Leo. Raph growled lowly when the woman was approaching him. "Don't worry, you may scream" The woman snickered as she grabbed a needle. She carelessly jammed the needle in Raph's arm and pumped the red liquid in his system.

Raph shut his mouth shut. He wasn't going to scream. He couldn't do that to Leo. Hot pain made his way into Raph's system. He twitched heavily and tried everything to get out of the restrains. Escape the pain. He gritted his teeth and suppressed a cry. The pain was unbearable and his body was twitching in every position possible.

Hot burning pain spread to every part of his body. He was on fire. Flames were licking on his body. His insides were burning and the red liquid only continued to spread. Vaguely he heard Leo screaming, pleading to stop. Raph closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He wasn't going to scream, he wasn't going to scream. He wasn't afraid, he wouldn't show weakness.

But at the same time the pain continued to spread, increasing every second. He wasn't going to scream.

Donnie moaned and shifted slightly. He felt something pressing on his plastron but when he opened his eyes he saw it was Mikey. He relaxed when he realized it was just his little brother and let his head sink again. Mikey's breaths were deep and short, indicating he wasn't asleep. Donnie shifted slightly again and looked over to Mikey's form.

He was resting with his head on top of Donnie's plastron, his head turned away from him. "Mikey?" He whispered and touched his little brother's head slightly. As expected Mikey was awake and turned towards Donnie. His eyes were slightly swollen and he had dried tears on his cheeks.

"What's wrong otouto?" Donnie whispered and brought himself up against the wall, ignoring his sore body and rested Mikey's head on his lap. Mikey didn't protest at the movement and gracefully rested his head against Donnie. The collar around his neck slightly pressed against Donnie's skin but he didn't mind. Slowly he began to stroke Mikey's face and looked down on him.

"I want to go home Donnie. I don't want any of you getting hurt" Mikey squeaked in his most innocent voice but avoided Donnie's eyes.

"I know Mikey, I want to go home too." Donnie whispered. Mikey winced slightly and turned on his shell so he could look into Donnie's eyes. "And we will, I know Splinter and April are looking for us. Even Casey"

Donnie closed his eyes slightly. He wanted to go home so badly. He even missed Casey's flirty attitude towards April. He missed Sensei, he missed April. He wanted to back to the lair again. A single tear escaped his eye. He wanted to be home again, just sleep in his own bed and nobody who would hurt them.

He didn't want Leo to get hurt, mentally and physically. He knew he was hurting big because of him and it killed him. He didn't want Raph to get hurt. He was the strongest of them but he too had his limits. He could break too. He could feel pain too.

He didn't want Mikey to get hurt. He wasn't hurting physically, not much though, but he was hurting mentally. The collar and the burn mark. He was owned. And that was the only thing Mikey was really afraid of. Out of the 4 he was troubled the most with the whole turtle thing. He wanted to be acknowledged as a normal human, like they felt.

But instead Nighwatch did to him what he feared the most, treating him like an animal.

Slowly he felt two strong arms engulfing him and he felt Mikey's face nuzzling in his shoulder. "They will save us Donnie, I know they will" He assured him. Donnie smiled and wrapped his arms around his younger brother.

"I love you, you know that right?" He smiled and let his tears drop.

"I love you too Nii-chan" Mikey smiled and nuzzled into Donnie's shoulder even further. Both not noticing the figure that was approaching them.

"Pity" A dark voice snickered in the door opening. The two turtles whipped their heads around to see Nighwatch and Thorn standing there. Mikey whimpered and cowered in fear. The collar around his neck suddenly feeling heavy. Donnie grabbed him harder and pressed his plastron against his. If he wanted Mikey he had to go through him first.

"I suggest you play along" Nighwatch threatened. Mikey whimpered again and looked over to Donnie.

"Donnie?" He whispered afraid and grabbed Donnie's hand and squeezed it tightly. Donnie snorted slightly and glanced over to the 2 enemies standing there.

"I'll go, but you won't hurt my brother" He snorted and carefully released his hold on Mikey. He whimpered in response and wanted to stop Donnie but he was already standing.

"Agreed" Nighwatch nodded. Donnie sighed and bowed his head in defeat. Nighwatch walked over to him and cuffed his hand behind his back. He would do anything to save Mikey. Donnie was pushed towards the door but before he left it he heard Mikey screaming from behind. Donnie's eyes widened and he whipped his head around. Mikey was cowering in the corner of the room. Thorn hovering above him.

With quick movement he attached a chain towards Mikey's collar, like some sort of leash and yanked him up.

"You said you wouldn't hurt him!" Donnie screamed furiously and tried to get to his younger brother but Nighwatch kept pushing him outside the door. Thorn followed Nighwatch, continuously yanking the chain around Mikey's collar. Forcing him along.

"I am not going to hurt him now, don't worry." Nighwatch snickered and they were thrown into a room. He quickly strapped Donnie to the table and Mikey's chain was bound to the wall and he was forced on his knees.

"But I'll make him watch you" He snickered and dangerously walked closer to Donnie.
