Once Leo and Donnie finally made it to the lair, it was about 2 am in the morning. This means that most of his family would be awake, they were all night owls due to their situation. Leo shared an uneased glance with Donatello before sucking in a deep breath. The red-eared slider stepped inside with his twin brother in toe, the vast opening of his home making him feel incredibly small.

His fear was quickly amplified by a small gasp breaking through his ears, with the added effect of being tackled to the ground. Leonardo let out a loud yelp as a small turtle latched onto his body, he brought his hand to rub the back of his head from the fall as Mikey snuggled into his chest.

"Leo! Leo! LEO! You're back!"

The older turtle blinked a bit before he was yanked back into reality, him glancing down at his younger brother before letting some air out through his nose and patting the boy's head.

"Yes Mikey, I'm back"

The small painted box turtle gave Leo the biggest smile, while Leo and Mikey had their moment Donatello made his way to the kitchen where Raph sat, sprawled over the table with a cup of coffee in his hands. Steam exasperated from the cup to show that it was just recently brewed, bags formed under Raphs eyes as he gazed into the countertop. Silence eats at the room before Donatello's small cough clears the air. The snapping turtle's massive tail flicked while his electric green eyes flicked over to his more minor brother.

"I brought him home"

Raphs face went pale at the mention of his younger brother, his knuckles going white as he clenched the glass mug tightly.

"Is he... I-Is he okay?"

Raphs cracking voice made Donnie's heart sink a little before he pushed it down and walked over to Raph.

"Well he's still an idiot so, I guess he's fine"

The soft shell laughed out while leaning against the enormous turtle's spikey shell, the oldest didn't find his joke very amusing, so he just bit his bottom beak as his face contorted. His eyes trailed back down to the table as his body trembled a bit. Donnie cleared his throat awkwardly feeling very guilty about upsetting Raphael further.

"Well I'm gonna go uh, tell Splinter"

"No no, I will"

Raph dismissed his little brother with a flick of his hand as he shook his head, standing to his feet to reveal his enormous stature. Donnie stumbled back a bit in order to get out of the broad turtle's way. Letting his eyes follow the eldest out of the room, a small sigh escaped his lips as a certain item caught his eyes, he snatched a small plastic jar from the table.

Shaking it in his hands to only find maybe three pills left in it, Donnie turned the container to get a better look. His Sharpie brows furrowed as he read the label.

"Melatonin"

Donnie scrunched his snout as he gazed down at the medicine.

"Oh, Raph...  What are you doing to yourself?..."

Donnie sighed as he placed the container back on the table. That bottle was half full when the softshell left, Raph is going to make himself sick. The purple-clad turtle knew that nothing life-threatening would happen to his older brother if he overdosed on Melatonin. It could only cause headaches, drowsiness, agitation, and/or nausea.

Donnie was surprised that Raph didn't even notice the bruises and busted beak on his face due to the fight he got in with you. Raph is usually the most vigilant about his brother's appearance, he always knew when something was wrong.
