Don’t read.\nCharacters belong to Nickelodeon. \n\n-\n\nAs soon as Donnie announced that Leo was going into a secondary mutation, Raph’s brain went into overdrive thinking about all that they had to go through when Donnie went through his secondary mutation, but at least this time they had Donnie and his big brain and wouldn’t had to resort to asking one of their enemies for help.\n\nDonnie had enlisted the help of Leatherhead and April in creating a cure for Leo. Leatherhead would be able to recreate the cure that had helped Donnie, but a few tweaks would be needed for it to work for Leo and they had little time, Leo was mutating at a much faster rate than Donnie had. \n\n“D’ya need any help?” Raph asked as Donnie rushed around the lab along with April and Leatherhead. \n\n“No, Raph, if you could just leave us to work on the cure that would be great.” Donnie said without looking at his brother. \n\n“Okay.” Raph said, backing out of the room and closing the door to the lab. \n\n“What’s going on?” Mikey asked, coming out of the kitchen with two drinks in his hands.\n\n“They’re working on the cure and I ain’t allowed in.” Raph said, sitting down on the couch and staring at the blank television sets. Mikey sat down next to him and passed him one of the drinks. \n\n“You know that Donnie likes to be alone most of the time when he’s working on things and this is for Leo’s life so he’s super focused, that and there’s 3 of them in there and it isn’t the biggest of rooms. \n\n“Yeah...I guess...I just hope they come up with something soon, Leo ain’t looking too good.” \n\n“He’s going to be okay Raph.”\n\n“I know, I just hate sitting around waiting.”\n\n“Well we could do something.”\n\n“Like what?” Raph asked. \n\n“I dunno...find out the quick way to see why Leo’s going through a secondary mutation?” Mikey grinned as he set his drink down and his brother copied his movements, his grin much larger. \n\n-\n\nThe man’s head jerked sideways as Raph’s fist once again struck him against his face. \n\n“Ya’ wanna tell me that ya’ don’t know anything again?” Raph said, cracking his knuckles as Mikey kept an eye on the other men in the club. \n\n“Can’t believe they haven’t shut this place down yet.” Mikey mused. \n\n“Can’t believe they ain’t locked you freaks up yet.” One of the men replied.\n\n“Eh, touche.” Mikey grinned, turning back to his brother who was waiting to see if the man he punched was going to give him any information. \n\n“So, ya’ gonna tell me what I wanna know?” Raph said, cracking his knuckles. \n\n“I’m telling ya’ man I don’t know nothin’ I’m just a lackey, I hear things but I ain’t involved!” The man said, holding his hands up.\n\n“And what have ya’ heard?”\n\n“There’s gonna be a meeting near the docks, I dunno what about though.”\n\n“You sure?” Raph said, lifting one of his fists as a threat.\n\n“Yeah man, that’s all I know, I swear!”\n\n“So what do ya say Mike? Fancy goin’ to the docks?” Raph asked his younger brother who grinned at him. \n\n“You know me bro’, up for anything!” And with that the brothers were gone, heading to the docks, leaving the men confused and unsure of what to do next. \n\nRaph and Mikey arrived at the docks in record time, no knowing if the meeting was currently taking place or if they were going to be waiting around for a while. Luckily they didn’t have to wait long as two large military like vehicles and a large van drove into the docks and ten men exited the vehicles and met in between. \n\n“Damn I wish we were closer.” Raph muttered as he pulled out a pair of mini binoculars he kept in his belt, using them to try and read the men’s lips, making out that they were here to do some kind of deal. \n\nThe men were talking for a good ten minutes, during which Raph was able to work out that the men were from three different gangs and were trading money for information that one of the groups had, but they were having disagreements about how much the information was worth and had been arguing, which was getting more heated. \n\n“This ain’t gonna end well.” Raph said as he saw one of reached into the back of his pants where he had hidden a gun. As soon as the gun could be seen by the others, Raph dropped his binoculars and grabbed his sais. \n\n“Raph, no, they’ve got guns.” \n\n“Mike, they’re our only lead, I can’t risk ‘em all getting killed.” He said, before jumping down and joining the men in their fight, knocking one man out instantly. Mikey groaned as he watched his brother fight the man with the gun and jumped down also, not wanting another one of his brother’s to get shot. \n\nAs soon as Mikey entered the fight, a few men ran away, two turtles being too much for them to face, so it didn’t take long for the remaining men to go down. \n\n“Well, that was easy.” Mikey said, kicking the gun away from the unconscious man’s hands. \n\n“Yeah…” Raph said as he made his way around to the back of the van, assuming that it was the vehicle that held what the other men wanted. He opened the doors and his jaw almost dropped, the back of the van was filled to the brim with storage containers and filing cabinets, full of various files. \n\n“What the hell is all this?” Raph said aloud, picking up a handful of files and flicking through them. \n\n“I think this is like one of those classic secret military operation that the government doesn’t want the public to know about.” Mikey said, picking up some different files.\n\n“This shit’s got tons of stuff about that drug…” Raph said as he began to read one of the files. \n\n“And it goes all the way back to the 80’s…” Mikey said. “That’s like my favourite era bro’.”\n\n“Yeah…” Raph responded, distracted by the files in his hand and then by the sirens that could be heard around them. “Shit, someone must have called about the gunshots.” Raph said, picking up some more files. “Take all the files you can carry, we need to show Donnie these, they could help him cure Leo.” \n\n“‘Kay bro’” Mikey said as he grabbed an armful of files and fled out the back of the van and into the shadows as police arrive at the scene and began checking on the men. Raph and Mikey made their way down to the sewers, being careful not to get the files and all the papers included wet. \n\nWhen the two bright banded turtles arrived home with the files they expected that Donnie would be happy for the help and information that they had provided him with, but they were wrong. \n\n“What the hell where you thinking?” Donnie said, burying his face in his hands, rubbing at his eyes. “Beating on some purple dragons, since when did we do that?”\n\n“I was thinking about finding a cure for our dying brother.” Raph said, trying not to shout at his stressed sibling. \n\n“He isn’t dying! How could you say that?” Donnie said, pulling his hands away so that his brother could see his dark stare. \n\n“I’m preparing myself for the worst.” Raph said, calmly and Donnie sighed, meeting Mikey’s sad gaze before looking away. \n\n“Read some of the files Don, there’s tons of shit about this drug going back decades.” Raph said, and Donnie picked up one of the files and opened it, scan reading the first page and turning onto the second page. Soon he was deep into reading the files and Raph and Mikey had left him alone. \n\nThe drug that had been selling in the club had been invented by a scientist working for the government back in the 80’s as an enhancement for the military and was tested on some men. The first trials sounded horrendous, the drug caused such severe mutations and brain damage that all the men that took the drug were shot dead and disposed of so that no one knew how badly the first tests had gone.\n\nReading further into the research Donnie could see that this horrific testing went on for almost a decade before they had even the slightest bit of success, one man, who, after receiving some of the drug, had become super strong, although was still severely deformed and had many mental issues and ending up taking his own life a few months after the experiment. \n\nDuring their years of experimentation, they noticed that some people had mutations in their genes which were enhanced by the drug, the people without mutations were the ones that ended up having severe reactions and the ones who died after taking the drug.\n\nAfter a few successes, the scientists were ready to roll out the drug to other states, but before they could, one of the men destroyed the lab and all the samples that they had before he was shot. All their work had been destroyed with only a small amount of research remaining, but the department had been shut down and all that remained was hidden in the dark. \n\nThe files that had been hidden had obviously resurfaced and somebody had changed the drug so that it would be able to be used recreationally, but the strand that had been introduced into Leo’s system was much closer to the actual drug, meaning that more than one group had access to the drug, but Donnie already knew that as Raph and Mikey had told him that there has been three groups of people. Donnie gathered that the group who had all the information on the drug were the ones who had access to the purest drug - the one in Leo’s system and causing the secondary mutation.\n\nAll of the files that Mikey and Raph had given to him were useful, giving him the full background to the drug, but there wasn’t a great deal of information about how to reverse the effects or how to create a vaccine. The people who made the drug obviously didn’t want to mean to turn back to normal or to help those who had a bad reaction.\n\nAlthough he hated the fact that his brother and his mate had put themselves in a dangerous position to retrieve those files, Donnie wanted the remaining files in hopes that they had something that could help them find a cure. \n\n-\n\nDonnie sat in his lab, typing away on his computer whilst looking through the same file for the tenth time when there was a knock at the lab door. \n\n“Come in!” He called out and Raph and Mikey entered the room. \n\n“Um, ya’ texted us?” Raph said, sounding confused.\n\n“Yes, I wanted to ask you something.” Donnie said, leaving his chair to stand next to his brothers. \n\n“Why did ya’ text us, ya’ coulda just got us, we were watching’ tv.” Raph said and Donnie rolled his eyes.\n\n“Well, I never know if you are actually in the lair or not nowadays.” Donnie said.\n\n“Ya’ still pissed we went out without telling ya’?” Raph asked and Donnie sighed. \n\n“More that you put yourself in harm's way...but I’m going to need you to go it again.”\n\n“What?” Raph and Mikey said in unison. \n\n“I need you to get the rest of the files that were in that van.”\n\n“Why? Ain’t there anything in the files that we got ya’?” Raph asked. \n\n“There’s lots of valuable information in them, but I can’t find anything that might help me make a cure...so we need the other files.” Donnie explained. \n\n“Dunno if we’ll be able to find the other files Don, the cops turned up just as we left, they’ve probably got the van and all the files.” Raph said. \n\n“So, what? We break into police headquarters?” Mikey suggested and his older brothers look at him in shock.\n\n“What? Mikey, we can’t do that!”\n\n“Then what else can we do?” Mikey asked and the room grew silent as the three turtles tried to think of another way that they could find a cure for the vaccine without having to break into the police headquarters. \n\n“I did take a picture of the cars when we were up on the roof, maybe we can track one of the groups down that way?” Mikey suggested.\n\n“Mikey, that’s brilliant, I can track their plates and hopefully, it will lead us to one of the groups.” Donnie said, taking Mikey’s shell cell from him and rushing back to his computer so that he could begin to track the gang members.\n\n“So how long will it take?” Raph asked, as he and Mikey walked over to their taller brother. \n\n“I’ve found them.”\n\n“Wow, that was quick.” Mikey grinned proudly.\n\n“The guy who owns this car is a well known gang member from the Bronx, although has warehouses in all boroughs, I’ve seen news articles about him before, he’s into anything that will make him a lot of money, no wonder he’s into this drug...anyway, I have the address of his warehouse in Manhattan, there’s a good chance that he’s there tonight as the car was seen on security cameras at the address an hour ago and it hasn’t moved.” \n\n“Me and Mikey’ll go and check it...call us if anything happens to Leo?” \n\n“Of course.” Don promised as his two brothers made their way out of the lair.\n\n-\n\nRaph and Mikey had come in through the skylight and had made it into the warehouse without a problem. There were very few hiding places throughout the warehouse, their only way of hiding would be in the shadows, that were few. The two hid around a stack of crates as two men passed them and decided to stay where they were as there was a group of men gathered in a circle ahead and there were no closer hiding spots. \n\nAs one of the men moved out of the way, they noticed a teenage boy tied to a chair, he was sweating profusely and bleeding from his nose and seemed very out of sorts. \n\n“He dead?” One of the men asked.\n\n“Nah, he’s still movin’ an’ breathin’, but I say he ain’t got much time left.” Another man said, moving closer to the boy.\n\n“I thought this was meant to make people better and stronger?” A third man said and the second man sighed loudly. \n\n“Just put him out of his misery.” \n\n“But what about the cure?” Mikey and Raph perked up after hearing that.\n\n“It don’t work you idiot, it’s useless.”\n\n“Maybe it just takes time, we wouldn’t know because ya’ just kill everyone.” The first man said and the third pulled his gun from his belt and held it to the teenager’s head and pulled the trigger. The other men jumped as the gun sounded and the boy slumped in the chair. \n\n“Ugh.” Mikey grimaced, turning away as Raph shook his head at what had just happened. \n\n“Fuckin’ drug dealers.” Raph said as he turned his attention away from the men to look around the warehouse, trying to see if the men had any files like the ones they had back at home. There were plenty of boxes on one side of the warehouse, but Raph couldn’t see what was in them from where he was and couldn’t break into them without alerting the men in the building. \n\n“We ain’t ever gonna have some super soldiers...ain’t that what this is meant to do?” \n\n“Apart from giving ya’ such a great high.” One of the men said and they all laughed. \n\n“Do you think if we get a hold of their version of the cure that Donnie will be able to fix it so that it works?” Mikey asked Raph who nodded.\n\n“Yeah, but where are they keepin’ it?” Raph said, more to himself than Mikey, and started to look at each guy one by one, to see if they were holding anything, but apart from the man with gun they were all empty handed.\n\n“My guess is in one of the boxes, man, I wish I had x-ray vision.” Mikey groaned and his brother rolled his eyes. \n\nThey waited around and listened to the men talk for half an hour before the group left, taking the boy’s body with them. As soon as the door shut behind them, Raph and Mikey came out from their hiding places and made quick work of searching through every box in the warehouse, keeping hold of any paperwork that had mentions of vaccines and cures. They were about to give up hope that they would find the cure that the men were talking about earlier, when they opened the second last box in the warehouse. \n\n“Dude…” Mikey said in awe, as the lid fell away and inside was vials and vials of what they assumed and hoped was the cure, as it was the only other liquid which was not the drug. \n\n“Grab as much as ya’ can Mike, we dunno if this’ll be here tomorrow.” Raph said as he took out a foldaway bag from his belt, this time being prepared and began carefully filling the bag with as many vials as it could carry and Mikey did the same, before they closed the box and made their way out of the warehouse and back into the sewers, heading home having completed their mission for the cure. \n\n-\n\n“Did you find the cure?” Donnie asked, pouncing on his brothers as they walked through the door to their home. \n\n“We got a shit ton of it.” Raph grinned as he and Mikey showed Donnie their bags. \n\n“But the guys that were in the warehouse said that it didn’t work.” Mikey explained and Donnie frowned. \n\n“Did they say why?”\n\n“They were torturing some kid when we got there, when one said to use the cure on him another said that it didn’t work.” \n\n“I’m sure I will be able to tell that for sure.” Donnie said, taking the bags from his brothers and disappearing into his lab.\n\n“Should we follow him or…?”\n\n“We better leave him be.” Raph said and made his way over to the kitchen, with Mikey following behind him. \n\n-\n\nA few hours later Mikey and Raph were called into the lab, as well as Master Splinter, Leatherhead, April and Casey, so that their small group of family and friends were all present. \n\n“Donatello, my son, what have you found?”\n\n“The cure would have only worked for a person who already had mutated DNA, so may have worked on a few number of humans, but I am fairly certain that the cure will work for Leo. I’m going to prepare a vaccine, I just wanted all of you here...in case anything bad were to happen. \n\nThe six other people in the room nodded as Donnie walked around his lab to prepare the vaccine. Donnie nervously, but with still hands, prepared an injection ready to administer a vaccine to his brother, to cue him of his secondary mutation before it could get its claws into him. \n\n“Hold him down.” Donnie instructed to his brothers.\n\nRaph and Mikey stood either side of the cot where he had been strapped down, they held his arms down as he had reacted violently the last time they had tried to do anything to him and didn’t need a repeat of that. \n\n“Ready?” Donnie asked his brothers. When they nodded, he found a vein in his brother’s arm and injected him with the vaccine.It didn’t take long for Leo to start thrashing around on the bed, but thanks to Raph and Mikey, they were able to get all of the vaccine into his brother’s bloodstream. \n\nSlowly Leo calmed down and his eyes closed. Donnie let go of him and checked his pulse, it was slowing down but it didn’t stop, which was a good sign. \n\n“Is he okay?” Mikey asked and Donnie nodded. \n\n“I think so, we just need to keep an eye on him to see if the vaccine has worked.” Donnie said and the others were uncomfortable with how uncertain Donnie sounded, but all they could do was wait and hope that the vaccine had worked and that Leonardo would be back to normal. \n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Seeking Comfort by RomaMarufixx

As soon as Donnie announced that Leo was going into a secondary mutation, Raph’s brain went into overdrive thinking about all that they had to go through when Donnie went through his secondary mutation, but at least this time they had Donnie and his big brain and wouldn’t had to resort to asking one of their enemies for help.

Donnie had enlisted the help of Leatherhead and April in creating a cure for Leo. Leatherhead would be able to recreate the cure that had helped Donnie, but a few tweaks would be needed for it to work for Leo and they had little time, Leo was mutating at a much faster rate than Donnie had.

“D’ya need any help?” Raph asked as Donnie rushed around the lab along with April and Leatherhead.

“No, Raph, if you could just leave us to work on the cure that would be great.” Donnie said without looking at his brother.

“Okay.” Raph said, backing out of the room and closing the door to the lab.

“What’s going on?” Mikey asked, coming out of the kitchen with two drinks in his hands.

“They’re working on the cure and I ain’t allowed in.” Raph said, sitting down on the couch and staring at the blank television sets. Mikey sat down next to him and passed him one of the drinks.

“You know that Donnie likes to be alone most of the time when he’s working on things and this is for Leo’s life so he’s super focused, that and there’s 3 of them in there and it isn’t the biggest of rooms.

“Yeah...I guess...I just hope they come up with something soon, Leo ain’t looking too good.”

“He’s going to be okay Raph.”

“I know, I just hate sitting around waiting.”

“Well we could do something.”

“Like what?” Raph asked.

“I dunno...find out the quick way to see why Leo’s going through a secondary mutation?” Mikey grinned as he set his drink down and his brother copied his movements, his grin much larger.

-

The man’s head jerked sideways as Raph’s fist once again struck him against his face.

“Ya’ wanna tell me that ya’ don’t know anything again?” Raph said, cracking his knuckles as Mikey kept an eye on the other men in the club.

“Can’t believe they haven’t shut this place down yet.” Mikey mused.

“Can’t believe they ain’t locked you freaks up yet.” One of the men replied.

“Eh, touche.”  Mikey grinned, turning back to his brother who was waiting to see if the man he punched was going to give him any information.

“So, ya’ gonna tell me what I wanna know?” Raph said, cracking his knuckles.

“I’m telling ya’ man I don’t know nothin’ I’m just a lackey, I hear things but I ain’t involved!” The man said, holding his hands up.

“And what have ya’ heard?”

“There’s gonna be a meeting near the docks, I dunno what about though.”

“You sure?” Raph said, lifting one of his fists as a threat.

“Yeah man, that’s all I know, I swear!”

“So what do ya say Mike? Fancy goin’ to the docks?” Raph asked his younger brother who grinned at him.

“You know me bro’, up for anything!” And with that the brothers were gone, heading to the docks, leaving the men confused and unsure of what to do next.

Raph and Mikey arrived at the docks in record time, no knowing if the meeting was currently taking place or if they were going to be waiting around for a while. Luckily they didn’t have to wait long as two large military like vehicles and a large van drove into the docks and ten men exited the vehicles and met in between.  

“Damn I wish we were closer.” Raph muttered as he pulled out a pair of mini binoculars he kept in his belt, using them to try and read the men’s lips, making out that they were here to do some kind of deal.

The men were talking for a good ten minutes, during which Raph was able to work out that the men were from three different gangs and were trading money for information that one of the groups had, but they were having disagreements about how much the information was worth and had been arguing, which was getting more heated.

“This ain’t gonna end well.” Raph said as he saw one of reached into the back of his pants where he had hidden a gun. As soon as the gun could be seen by the others, Raph dropped his binoculars and grabbed his sais.  

“Raph, no, they’ve got guns.”

“Mike, they’re our only lead, I can’t risk ‘em all getting killed.” He said, before jumping down and joining the men in their fight, knocking one man out instantly. Mikey groaned as he watched his brother fight the man with the gun and jumped down also, not wanting another one of his brother’s to get shot.

As soon as Mikey entered the fight, a few men ran away, two turtles being too much for them to face, so it didn’t take long for the remaining men to go down.

“Well, that was easy.” Mikey said, kicking the gun away from the unconscious man’s hands.

“Yeah…” Raph said as he made his way around to the back of the van, assuming that it was the vehicle that held what the other men wanted. He opened the doors and his jaw almost dropped, the back of the van was filled to the brim with storage containers and filing cabinets, full of various files.

“What the hell is all this?” Raph said aloud, picking up a handful of files and flicking through them.

“I think this is like one of those classic secret military operation that the government doesn’t want the public to know about.” Mikey said, picking up some different files.

“This shit’s got tons of stuff about that drug…” Raph said as he began to read one of the files.

“And it goes all the way back to the 80’s…” Mikey said. “That’s like my favourite era bro’.”

“Yeah…” Raph responded, distracted by the files in his hand and then by the sirens that could be heard around them. “Shit, someone must have called about the gunshots.” Raph said, picking up some more files. “Take all the files you can carry, we need to show Donnie these, they could help him cure Leo.”

“‘Kay bro’” Mikey said as he grabbed an armful of files and fled out the back of the van and into the shadows as police arrive at the scene and began checking on the men. Raph and Mikey made their way down to the sewers, being careful not to get the files and all the papers included wet.

When the two bright banded turtles arrived home with the files they expected that Donnie would be happy for the help and information that they had provided him with, but they were wrong.

“What the hell where you thinking?” Donnie said, burying his face in his hands, rubbing at his eyes. “Beating on some purple dragons, since when did we do that?”

“I was thinking about finding a cure for our dying brother.” Raph said, trying not to shout at his stressed sibling.

“He isn’t dying! How could you say that?” Donnie said, pulling his hands away so that his brother could see his dark stare.

“I’m preparing myself for the worst.” Raph said, calmly and Donnie sighed, meeting Mikey’s sad gaze before looking away.

“Read some of the files Don, there’s tons of shit about this drug going back decades.” Raph said, and Donnie picked up one of the files and opened it, scan reading the first page and turning onto the second page. Soon he was deep into reading the files and Raph and Mikey had left him alone.

The drug that had been selling in the club had been invented by a scientist working for the government back in the 80’s as an enhancement for the military and was tested on some men. The first trials sounded horrendous, the drug caused such severe mutations and brain damage that all the men that took the drug were shot dead and disposed of so that no one knew how badly the first tests had gone.

Reading further into the research Donnie could see that this horrific testing went on for almost a decade before they had even the slightest bit of success, one man, who, after receiving some of the drug, had become super strong, although was still severely deformed and had many mental issues and ending up taking his own life a few months after the experiment.

During their years of experimentation, they noticed that some people had mutations in their genes which were enhanced by the drug, the people without mutations were the ones that ended up having severe reactions and the ones who died after taking the drug.

After a few successes, the scientists were ready to roll out the drug to other states, but before they could, one of the men destroyed the lab and all the samples that they had before he was shot. All their work had been destroyed with only a small amount of research remaining, but the department had been shut down and all that remained was hidden in the dark.

The files that had been hidden had obviously resurfaced and somebody had changed the drug so that it would be able to be used recreationally, but the strand that had been introduced into Leo’s system was much closer to the actual drug, meaning that more than one group had access to the drug, but Donnie already knew that as Raph and Mikey had told him that there has been three groups of people. Donnie gathered that the group who had all the information on the drug were the ones who had access to the purest drug - the one in Leo’s system and causing the secondary mutation.

All of the files that Mikey and Raph had given to him were useful, giving him the full background to the drug, but there wasn’t a great deal of information about how to reverse the effects or how to create a vaccine. The people who made the drug obviously didn’t want to mean to turn back to normal or to help those who had a bad reaction.

Although he hated the fact that his brother and his mate had put themselves in a dangerous position to retrieve those files, Donnie wanted the remaining files in hopes that they had something that could help them find a cure.

-

Donnie sat in his lab, typing away on his computer whilst looking through the same file for the tenth time when there was a knock at the lab door.

“Come in!” He called out and Raph and Mikey entered the room.

“Um, ya’ texted us?” Raph said, sounding confused.

“Yes, I wanted to ask you something.” Donnie said, leaving his chair to stand next to his brothers.

“Why did ya’ text us, ya’ coulda just got us, we were watching’ tv.” Raph said and Donnie rolled his eyes.

“Well, I never know if you are actually in the lair or not nowadays.” Donnie said.

“Ya’ still pissed we went out without telling ya’?” Raph asked and Donnie sighed.

“More that you put yourself in harm's way...but I’m going to need you to go it again.”

“What?” Raph and Mikey said in unison.  

“I need you to get the rest of the files that were in that van.”

“Why? Ain’t there anything in the files that we got ya’?” Raph asked.

“There’s lots of valuable information in them, but I can’t find anything that might help me make a cure...so we need the other files.” Donnie explained.

“Dunno if we’ll be able to find the other files Don, the cops turned up just as we left, they’ve probably got the van and all the files.” Raph said.

“So, what? We break into police headquarters?” Mikey suggested and his older brothers look at him in shock.

“What? Mikey, we can’t do that!”

“Then what else can we do?” Mikey asked and the room grew silent as the three turtles tried to think of another way that they could find a cure for the vaccine without having to break into the police headquarters.

“I did take a picture of the cars when we were up on the roof, maybe we can track one of the groups down that way?” Mikey suggested.

“Mikey, that’s brilliant, I can track their plates and hopefully, it will lead us to one of the groups.” Donnie said, taking Mikey’s shell cell from him and rushing back to his computer so that he could begin to track the gang members.

“So how long will it take?” Raph asked, as he and Mikey walked over to their taller brother.

“I’ve found them.”

“Wow, that was quick.” Mikey grinned proudly.

“The guy who owns this car is a well known gang member from the Bronx, although has warehouses in all boroughs, I’ve seen news articles about him before, he’s into anything that will make him a lot of money, no wonder he’s into this drug...anyway, I have the address of his warehouse in Manhattan, there’s a good chance that he’s there tonight as the car was seen on security cameras at the address an hour ago and it hasn’t moved.”

“Me and Mikey’ll go and check it...call us if anything happens to Leo?”

“Of course.” Don promised as his two brothers made their way out of the lair.

-

Raph and Mikey had come in through the skylight and had made it into the warehouse without a problem. There were very few hiding places throughout the warehouse, their only way of hiding would be in the shadows, that were few. The two hid around a stack of crates as two men passed them and decided to stay where they were as there was a group of men gathered in a circle ahead and there were no closer hiding spots.

As one of the men moved out of the way, they noticed a teenage boy tied to a chair, he was sweating profusely and bleeding from his nose and seemed very out of sorts.

“He dead?” One of the men asked.

“Nah, he’s still movin’ an’ breathin’, but I say he ain’t got much time left.” Another man said, moving closer to the boy.

“I thought this was meant to make people better and stronger?” A third man said and the second man sighed loudly.

“Just put him out of his misery.”

“But what about the cure?” Mikey and Raph perked up after hearing that.

“It don’t work you idiot, it’s useless.”

“Maybe it just takes time, we wouldn’t know because ya’ just kill everyone.” The first man said and the third pulled his gun from his belt and held it to the teenager’s head and pulled the trigger. The other men jumped as the gun sounded and the boy slumped in the chair.

“Ugh.” Mikey grimaced, turning away as Raph shook his head at what had just happened.

“Fuckin’ drug dealers.” Raph said as he turned his attention away from the men to look around the warehouse, trying to see if the men had any files like the ones they had back at home. There were plenty of boxes on one side of the warehouse, but Raph couldn’t see what was in them from where he was and couldn’t break into them without alerting the men in the building.

“We ain’t ever gonna have some super soldiers...ain’t that what this is meant to do?”

“Apart from giving ya’ such a great high.” One of the men said and they all laughed.

“Do you think if we get a hold of their version of the cure that Donnie will be able to fix it so that it works?” Mikey asked Raph who nodded.

“Yeah, but where are they keepin’ it?” Raph said, more to himself than Mikey, and started to look at each guy one by one, to see if they were holding anything, but apart from the man with gun they were all empty handed.

“My guess is in one of the boxes, man, I wish I had x-ray vision.” Mikey groaned and his brother rolled his eyes.

They waited around and listened to the men talk for half an hour before the group left, taking the boy’s body with them. As soon as the door shut behind them, Raph and Mikey came out from their hiding places and made quick work of searching through every box in the warehouse, keeping hold of any paperwork that had mentions of vaccines and cures. They were about to give up hope that they would find the cure that the men were talking about earlier, when they opened the second last box in the warehouse.

“Dude…” Mikey said in awe, as the lid fell away and inside was vials and vials of what they assumed and hoped was the cure, as it was the only other liquid which was not the drug.

“Grab as much as ya’ can Mike, we dunno if this’ll be here tomorrow.” Raph said as he took out a foldaway bag from his belt, this time being prepared and began carefully filling the bag with as many vials as it could carry and Mikey did the same, before they closed the box and made their way out of the warehouse and back into the sewers, heading home having completed their mission for the cure.

-

“Did you find the cure?” Donnie asked, pouncing on his brothers as they walked through the door to their home.

“We got a shit ton of it.” Raph grinned as he and Mikey showed Donnie their bags.

“But the guys that were in the warehouse said that it didn’t work.” Mikey explained and Donnie frowned.

“Did they say why?”

“They were torturing some kid when we got there, when one said to use the cure on him another said that it didn’t work.”

“I’m sure I will be able to tell that for sure.” Donnie said, taking the bags from his brothers and disappearing into his lab.

“Should we follow him or…?”

“We better leave him be.” Raph said and made his way over to the kitchen, with Mikey following behind him.

-

A few hours later Mikey and Raph were called into the lab, as well as Master Splinter, Leatherhead, April and Casey, so that their small group of family and friends were all present.

“Donatello, my son, what have you found?”

“The cure would have only worked for a person who already had mutated DNA, so may have worked on a few number of humans, but I am fairly certain that the cure will work for Leo. I’m going to prepare a vaccine, I just wanted all of you here...in case anything bad were to happen.

The six other people in the room nodded as Donnie walked around his lab to prepare the vaccine. Donnie nervously, but with still hands, prepared an injection ready to administer a vaccine to his brother, to cue him of his secondary mutation before it could get its claws into him.

“Hold him down.” Donnie instructed to his brothers.

Raph and Mikey stood either side of the cot where he had been strapped down, they held his arms down as he had reacted violently the last time they had tried to do anything to him and didn’t need a repeat of that.

“Ready?” Donnie asked his brothers. When they nodded, he found a vein in his brother’s arm and injected him with the vaccine.It didn’t take long for Leo to start thrashing around on the bed, but thanks to Raph and Mikey, they were able to get all of the vaccine into his brother’s bloodstream.

Slowly Leo calmed down and his eyes closed. Donnie let go of him and checked his pulse, it was slowing down but it didn’t stop, which was a good sign.

“Is he okay?” Mikey asked and Donnie nodded.

“I think so, we just need to keep an eye on him to see if the vaccine has worked.” Donnie said and the others were uncomfortable with how uncertain Donnie sounded, but all they could do was wait and hope that the vaccine had worked and that Leonardo would be back to normal.
