Hey, y'all! Next chapter. I don't own anything; leave a review! You know, the usual! If you haven't I suggest for y'all to check out the stealthy stories competition for this year and participate if you want! It'll be fun!

Okay... That's all. Enjoy!

"MONA!" Raph yelled out one last time before he dived into the water in a flawless dive. Seems all the times they had snuck to the huge water supplies in the sewers and played had finally paid off.

"DONNIE!" Leo screamed, hands on his head. "Do something!"

"I'm trying!"

"Try harder!" Leo ran over and leaned over the side of the hovercraft. "I don't see him!" April and Mikey were screaming about flying down or up or something or another Leo was trying to block out, and his genius little brother was full on panicking, mumbling randomequations and "God help me's" while fiddling with the controls. "Donnie!"

"Look!" Mikey yelled over his shouting siblings. "There he is!" A dark green shape bobbed in the water underneath them, cradling a slightly lighter green figure in his arms.

"Donnie!" The figure's cry was barely heard. "A little help here?" Donatello immediately dropped the hovercraft down to the water, causing Leo and Mikey to gasp and grab the rails in panic. Raph kicked his legs frantically to try and get closer, and Leo grabbed Mikey's hand as he leaned as far as he could out over the water and grabbed his brother's hand. Leo grabbed the girl, and Mikey gripped his brother's wrists and yanked him overboard, sending them both tumbling on the floor.

"Quick! April, toss me a blanket!" Leo barked, motioning towards the girl he was gently placing on one of the chairs. "And can you throw Raph a towel?"

"I'm fine," Raph growled, batting April's hand away. She and Donnie exchanged nervous looks, and Donnie beckoned Mikey over with a jerk of his head. He loomed over the girl, putting two fingers behind her neck to check for a pulse. Slow, but steady. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Raph, what were you thinking?!" Leo stood up behind him, hands on his hips. "You could've been killed! I can't even comprehend-" Leo dropped the lecture with a single glare from Raph.

"Er, Raph?" Donnie piped up. Raph looked at him warningly. "I think she cut herself. Here, let me-"

Wait for it...

"WHAT?!" Raph roared. Donnie cowered against the controls, hurriedly turning around and making the hovercraft zoom through the air faster. Leo, in a blink of an eye, was behind Raph, pinning his arms to his shell.

"Raph, calm down; it's just a scratch!" Leo soothed, ignoring the grunts and struggles from Raph. "It'll be okay," he said. "Mikey," he whispered. "Hurry up!"

"You won't even touch her!" Raph growled, spit flying everywhere.

"Mikey," Leo hissed. "Anytime now would be great!" Raph was too preoccupied with cursing and struggling to get out, elbowing and kicking at his older brother, to notice his youngest bro sneak up beside him. Leo winced, knowing he'd have bruises for days. It was only when Michelangelo stuck a needle into his arm with enough drugs in it to make an elephant sleep did he notice.

Leo let Raph go, and the red clad turtle stumbled forward, crashing against the ground. He pushed himself up, and the sedatives began working their magic.

"Oof," Raph grunted, falling back down with a crash. "Mi...keee. Why... did 'ou do that?" Raph's speech was slurring, and Mikey hid partially behind Leo's shell. Eyes drooping, Raph forced himself to turn to the lizard. "Mo... Nah..." He shot one hand out to try and drag himself near her but it fell, and he allowed himself to accept the darkness.

When he awoke the next morning, he was in the lair, in his own room, and in his own hammock. Spike was curled up in his side, eyes closed and tummy moving up and down. He tried rolling over to look at his clock, but everything was hazy and foggy, and he ended up in a heap on the ground.

"The shell?" He mumbled. He tried several times to get up, but his legs felt like they were made of that orange jam Mikey put on everything. When he finally got to his feet with the aid of the dresser and wall, he staggered out into the rest of the lair.

The last thing he remembered was diving into the icy water to save Mona Lisa...

Mona!

Staggering around like a drunkard and bumping into walls, he somehow managed to make his way to the living room; no one was in there.

He felt an overwhelming wave of dizziness and leaned against the couch as nausea overcame him, and he puked all over the floor. He hoped sadistically Leo was the one who'd have to clean it up. He shook the thought from his head and pushed through it; Mona was his number one concern right now.

Raph slowly turned around; the dojo was right behind him. He staggered to the door, clumsily handling the doorknob until he somehow got it to open up. The world was like a kaleidoscope; everything flying around his head.

Master Splinter's ears swiveled to the direction of his second eldest as he heard something crash, and he winced. That sounded like his lamp. He held up a hand and barked a swift "Hajime," and his remaining three sons paused their sparring.

"Mo...Na?" Raph slurred as he stumbled up to Donnie. "Where... Mo...na?" he tried to grab his brother's hand, and Donnie looked at his remaining family with a plea evident in his eyes.

"Uh, Mikey? How much of that sedative did you give him?" Donnie gently pushed Raph's hand off and stepped back, only infuriating the drugged turtle.

Mikey chuckled weakly. "Ummmm... All of it?" Donnie sighed in exasperation and put a hand on Raph's carapace.

"Mona Lisa's safe, okay, Raph? Now, let's go back to bed, alright?" Donnie put one of Raph's arms around his shoulder and half dragged, half carried him out.

"She... Safe?" Raph slurred, head rolling against Donnie's shoulder. Donnie gently laid his brother down in his hammock and tucked him in, wrapping the blanket snugly around his shell. He tried prying his hand out of Raph's grip, but Raph only held on tighter. "Love... You... Donnie." Raph closed his eyes.

"I love you too, bro." Donnie said, pulling his hand loose and listening to his breathing. He was asleep. Donnie tiptoed out of Raph's bedroom, easing the door shut behind him.

Donnie sighed as he walked back into the dojo. "Well?" Leo asked.

"He's asleep."

"What did you tell him?" Mikey asked curiously.

Donnie looked down at his feet. "I told him she was safe."

"What's going to happen when he finds out how she really is?" Mikey said, serious for once in his life.

"I don't know," Donnie sighed. "Maybe she'll wake up before him. He should be out for a few days now. You pretty much over-dosed him!" Mikey smiled sheepishly.

"And if she doesn't?" Leo tilted his head to the side. "What if she never does?"

"Bro!" Mikey scolded. "Don't talk like that! It's just a coma!"

"A coma's a coma," Donnie chided.

"But-"

"Ahem." In their bickering, the turtles had forgotten all about their Sensei. "I suppose training is over for the day; it seems you, my sons, have a lot to discuss." He turned and walked to his room. "I will meditate on the matter." The boys bowed, and Master Splinter shut the door.

"Donnie?" Mikey asked as they walked into the living room. "Can we see Mona now?"

The genius shook his head. "You can see her when Raph does." Mikey stuck out his bottom lip but ran off to go grab a slice of pizza from the fridge.

Leo waited for his youngest brother to leave before turning to Donatello. "Will she really be okay?" Blue eyes searched brown eyes, only to come up with nothing.

"To be honest? I don't know. I hope so, for Raph's sake." Leo nodded, watching Donnie trudge off to his lab, probably going to go check on his patient.

"I hope so, too." Leo whispered. He walked over to the couch, getting ready to plop down and watch the newest episode of Space Heroes.

"Oh! GROSS!" He gagged at the sight of Raph's little upchuck and clamped a hand over his mouth. "Oh, God no! DONNIE! MIKEY! COME CLEAN THIS UP!"

A chorus of two voices came ringing back. "Not it!"

Leo gulped and looked down at it in disgust. "Oh... God help me."
