They were all safely back at Foot headquarters and the medical staff was done patching them up. Everyone was resting now. Or, at least trying to rest. \n\nTello was still on edge. The stress and panic from the chaotic fight was hard to come down from. The events still played in his mind and he chided himself over things he should have done better. \n\nThough his body was sore, he fared better than some. He was one of the first released from doctor care. Still he lingered in the area, not wanting to be alone.\n\nTello walked through halls of the medical ward, checking in on the others as he passed. \n\nThe worst of the injuries was Michelangelo’s. Despite the cut being clean, his arm had been trampled in the chaos. Any hope of reattaching it was gone. He was in such a state of shock after it happened and he was heavily sedated now. It was possible he has yet to fully process what had happened to him. \n\nRaphael stayed by his side. He blamed himself for what happened. Hun had made that elaborate death trap as a way to get revenge on him. He believed that, if he hadn’t allowed himself to be goaded, maybe they would have had more time to disarm the machine.\n\nOf course, no one else blamed him but he couldn’t let the guilt go. Maybe he needed to hear it from Mikey and until he did the guilt would consume him. \n\nDonatello had burned his hands while working to shut down the machine. There was no reason for that part of the machine to be that hot other than to burn anyone who attempted to disarm it. \n\nThe rush of adrenaline kept him from realizing the severity of the burns until they were all safely in the van and the pain started to set in. Blisters covered his fingers and palms by the time they got back to Foot headquarters. Dr. Chaplin had covered the severe burns with fish skin to help the healing process. Now all Donatello can do is wait and see what the end result will be. \n\nThe bolt that sliced the bridge between Leonardo’s eyes caused nerve damage. They were able to suture the wound and clean the blood from his eyes but the extent of the damage is still unknown. His eyes were bandaged and, like Michelangelo, he was heavily sedated while he healed.\n\nThey were the only three who had to stay in the infirmary for observation. The others had been released after the doctors had tended to their injuries. Sliver had lost half of her tail. Raphael, Michelle, and Rachael had some deep wounds on arms and legs that needed several stiches. Donna’s arm was in a cast, having been broken in three places. Even Tello suffered three broken ribs and a gash on his right cheek. \n\nAs bad as it was, he had to keep telling himself that, it could have been worse. At least they were all alive. \n\nDr. Chaplin had sent in Foot bots to remotely dismantle the device. If Hun had managed to push the button a few more times, several of them would have been dead or dying. His intention was to kill them all, whatever the cost. \n\nTello made it to his destination, the exam room where a doctor was examining Leah’s shoulder wound. Fortunately, there was little damage to the joint, tendons, or nerves but she had to keep the arm immobile while it healed.  \n\nThe doctor was helping Leah into her sling when Tello walked in. “Everything is looking good. I should be able to remove the stiches in about a week.”\n\n“When will I be able to start moving it again,” Leah asked. \n\n“Soon,” the doctor reassured her and handed her a small booklet. “Follow these instructions\n\n“Thank you,” Leah said as the doctor tightened the last strap. “I will see you again in a few days.”\n\nTogether Leah and Tello walked hand in hand down the hall, up the elevator, and too their rooms. There, they cuddled up together on the sofa with her carapace on his chest, and sat in silence. \n\nTears filled his eyes and before he knew it, he was sobbing. The images of everyone getting injured kept flashing in this mind. The thoughts of what could have happened plagued him. He had to keep reminding himself that no one had died. \n\nLeah gently leaned back against him and kissed his cheek. “It’s over. Everyone is going to be okay.”\n\n“I should have shut down that thing faster,” Tello argued. “Cut the power sooner.”\n\n“You didn’t know what would happen,” Leah pointed out. “You, Donny, and Donna did everything right.”\n\n“I don’t know what I would have done if I had lost you,” Tello cried his voice tight with emotion. “When I saw what had happened to Mikey, I froze. Then I saw the bolt hit you. I wanted to die. I turned towards the machine and waited for it to kill me. I couldn’t anything but stand there and watch everyone die again.”\n\n“Nobody died,” Leah said softly but firmly. “No one blames you for what had happened. In fact, Leo, Raph, and Donny all blame themselves. Heck, even Karai is saying how she wished she did things differently.”\n\n“I’m sorry,” Tello whimpered. “I wish I was stronger.”\n\n“You are strong,” Leah soothed, kissing his cheek again. “You have been through so much, but still have the strength to continue. I love you so much.”\n\nTracing his finger down her left arm, he kissed her shoulder as he intertwined his fingers with hers. “I love you too.” With each deep breath he was able to relax a little more, and soon the tears stopped. \n\nHer scent was strong and alluring. He placed his beak against the nape of her neck to take more of it in. \n\nAs his mind began to calm, he felt the prickling of desire begin to flare. Without any thought behind it, he bit her neck and tried to push her forward to mount her. His penis was already starting to emerge from his tail. \n\n“Tello,” Leah shrieked in surprise, throwing her elbow back. \n\nHer elbow grazed his fractured ribs, the searing pain snapping him out of it. With a gasp, he sat back with his hand on his ribs. “Sorry,” he grunted. \n\nAfter a quick check to make sure her shoulder was okay, Leah turned to look at Tello. “What the hell?”\n\n“I wasn’t thinking,” Tello admitted as he carefully got up off the sofa. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”\n\nLeah ran her hand over the bite on her neck and shook her head. “You didn’t bite me that hard and my shoulder’s fine. But why would you…?” She stopped when the realization hit her. “I’m still in heat. After everything that’s happened, I’d forgotten. Did I hurt you?”\n\nLeah moved to get up but Tello indicated for her to stay seated. “I’m fine. The pain’s already starting to fade. You grazed it more than hit it. I’m gonna take a shower to try and clear my head. We’ll figure the rest of this out later.”\n\nLeah stood. “You don’t have to go.”\n\n“As much as I would like to just sit with you and spend a quiet evening alone,” Tello said. “My… body is screaming for more. So much so that it’s starting to hurt.”\n\n“You don’t have to go,” Leah repeated as she stepped around the sofa. \n\n“Sex, Leah,” Tello stated as a matter of fact. “I have an intense need to have sex.”\n\nLeah walked over to Tello and pressed in close. “I know.”\n\n“We really shouldn’t,” Tello mumbled, struggling with his desire to wrestle her to the ground. The fact that it would cause them both a great deal of pain was all that held him back. \n\nLeah looked him in the eyes and with a soft smile asked, “Why not?”\n\n“After everything that’s happened today,” Tello asked. \n\n“Exactly,” Leah said. “After all the bad that has happened, I want to feel something good.”\n\n“We’re hurt,” Tello pointed out. “It will make things difficult.”\n\n“But not impossible,” Leah countered with a smile. “We’ll figure it out.” Taking his hand, Leah led him back to the sofa. By the time he was seated, his penis was fully erect and dripping. He couldn’t fight it. \n\nLeah straddled his legs and then slowly lowered herself on to him, drawing a long churr from him as her soft warmth surrounded him. Biting his lip, he leaned his head back. It was a satisfying sensation that quelled his need for a moment.  \n\nBefore Leah could start moving, Tello placed his hand on her hip. “Stay like this for a moment. I like the way it feels.”\n\n“I like it too.” Leah leaned in to kiss Tello, long and deep. \n\nThe silky warmth could only satisfy their need for so long. His hand tensed, ever so slightly on her thigh as he fought to maintain control. To be reckless would cause them both a great deal of pain. \n\nLeah didn’t need him to say or do anything more. She began to move, gently rocking her hips. When he bucked up against her, she broke the kiss and looked him in the eyes. \n\n“Don’t move. I know you want to, but you need to stay still.”\n\n“Can you move a little faster,” Tello pleaded, squeezing her leg. \n\n“I don’t want to hurt you,” she whispered, though she did pick up the pace. \n\nChurring caused a slight burst of pain much like a cough would have but it wasn’t enough to distract him. His body demanded release and nothing was going to keep him from it. Not as long as Leah was willing to help him reach it. \n\nHe tried to maintain eye contact but his vision blurred as he neared climax. Leaning his head back, he closed his eyes. When his body tensed, the pain from his ribs made it hard to fully enjoy the orgasm but at least his need had been satisfied.  \n\nLeah kissed his lips and let out a satisfied hum. “I love you.”\n\n“I love you too.” When he opened his eyes, he could see the tears that were starting to well up in hers. \n\nShe turned her head in an attempt to hide them. “You’re usually in a daze a little longer than that.”\n\n“My ribs didn’t let me go into a complete stupor.” Cupping her cheek, he gently coaxed her to look at him again and wiped away the tears that had escaped. “It’s okay,” he whispered, “if you’re not okay.”\n\nLeah shook her head and covered his hand with hers. “You’ve been through enough. You don’t need to be burdened with my problems too.”\n\n“That’s not fair to you,” Tello argued. “Besides, bottling it up inside will only hurt us both in the long run. Let it out. We can heal together.”\n\nLeah thought for a moment, her eyes looking down and off to the side as her hand moved up to cover her injured shoulder. “I almost died. When that bolt went through me…. I was so scared. I looked down and I saw one of the Purple Dragons on the ground. A bolt had sliced through her neck. I watched as her life slipped away. It was horrifying.”\n\n“Watching someone die is never easy,” Tello said. “Even when it’s not your fault or fully justified, it’s difficult.”\n\nLeah moved off of Tello’s lap to cuddle up next to him, taking care not to put pressure on her injured shoulder or his ribs. “Saying that out loud did help.”\n\n“It usually does,” Tello said and kissed her head. “We’ll get though this.”\n\nLeah laced her fingers between his and held his hand. “Do you think you’ll be alright to stay near me now? I really don’t want to be alone.”\n\nTello sighed and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. “I hope so. I want nothing more than to hold you for a while.” Closing his eyes, he did his best to clear his mind, grateful that they were both alright. \n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>It had been nearly six hours since their fight with Hun.
