Rooftop Rapture Part II: Payback, Turtle Style

Chapter 5:
The next week and Mikey still haven't awoken. The rest of his family was feeling worse every day Mikey didn't wake up. Especially Leo. He couldn't meditate, couldn't spar, couldn't go out for paroling without thinking of Mikey and what has happened the last time they were out there.

Master Splinter tried trough meditation to talk to his youngest son. So far he didn't succeeded. Splinter was afraid that his soul was hurt to much to come back just yet. But he had to try anyway. Splinter also requested that his sons would get though to Michelangelo by talking to him. His sons did as there father and Sensei asked them to do. But so far it didn't worked.

Raphael's anger has gotten worse over the days and he asked at least twice a day at Donatello if something has chanced with his baby brother Mikey. His mate and genius kept saying the same thing every time he did, it almost sounded like a broken record he really wished to chance: 

“It still haven't chanced, Raph. I'm really worried about him, but also about Leo”. 

This made Raph curious: “What are you talking about?”.

“He's been quiet, way to quiet to be Leo. I know he isn't taking this easy, but I think there's more. Like he's scared or something”.

Raph was shocked to hear this. 'Leo scared? Of what? That Mikey wouldn't be the same when he finally woke up? That Mikey didn't wake up at all? That his relationship been broken?' 

He stopped at that last one. 

'He is scared Mikey will brake up with him! He is scared Mikey doesn't love him anymore! That's it! But Leo was tied up, he couldn't help him. I really hope Mikey doesn't feel that way. For Leo's sake'.

“Raph? Are you okay?” Don asked his mate.

“Huh? Ow... Yeah, yeah I’m fine. I was just thinking. I know what's bothering Leo, at least I think I know. I'm not sure yet, but I'm gonna talk to him about it” Raph answered back, looking into Don's eyes and he know that Don approved his thought of talking to Leo.

“Just be careful with how you ask it. He's really hurt and...” Don couldn't finish because Raph burst out in anger.

“I fucking know Donnie. I'm his fucking brother to remember? I've fucking been there when he brought Mikey in, bleeding and broken” Raph shouted out, not knowing what he said until he calmed down. 

He looked back at Don and saw what damaged he'd done to his brother and mate.

Tears were in Donatello's eyes, ready to fall and the color of his face was lighter, like he was sick. He was shaking and whimpering. He saw that Raph was trying to apologize but he could hear it. He looked down to the floor of the lab. 

'This is getting worse. It's not gonna be okay until Mikey wakes up. But I don't know when he will. It's my fault. I'm not a genius. I can't even take care of my baby brother. It's my fault...'.  


“It's my fault” he whispered but Raph heard it. 

Raph felt guilty about his outburst to his lover. He pulled his Donatello into a tight hug and said: “It's not your fault. It's none of us fault, it's that Dark Don's fault. Blame him for this, not yourself”. 

Don burst out in tears into his brothers arms. Raph felt his arms getting wet from his mate's tears. 

“Shh...Don, i'm sorry. I really am” he puts his hands on Don's cheeks and make his lover look at him. 

“Can you forgive me, please Donnie? I...i didn't mean it. I was just...” he was shushed by Don's fingers on his lips. 

“It's o-okay, Raph. I-i forgive you” he said trough little silent sobs. “I'm not mad at you. I'm just tired”. 

“I understand. It's okay Donnie. I know that you're doing your best to help Mikey” he kissed his mate on the lips.

Don moaned a little in the kiss and returned it. When Raph broke it he finally said: “I'm gonna talk to Leo now”. He kissed Don lightly before letting him go.

Before Raph walked out he said to Don: “I'll be alright. I'll tell you about it tonight. Keep an eye on Mikey and let us know if something's chanced, okay?”.

“Of course, my love” Don nodded and turned back to check Mikey vitals.

Raph's cheeks were a little colored from what Don has said to him, but he didn't minded that. He really liked him like this. He smiled all the way to Leo's room. 

When he finally was at Leo's room he felt a little nervous. Quietly, but firm, he knocked on his door.

“Leo, you there?” he asked. He didn't get an answer and after a minute of silence he tried the door handle, finding the door unlocked. When he looked inside the room he was shocked. The room was empty and the window was open.

“LEO!!!”.
