Don...? I think my hand's numb...
Well, that's not good--

APRIL- Where'd you get the van?
Desperate times, Mikey.

Should I lift him?
Not if you're hand's numb. Mikey, help me.
On it-
Oh geez, Leo...
Alright, Nardo, up you go--

AARGH!!!

Leo's eyes snapped open, suddenly aware that he was now standing.

"Are you sure I shouldn't--" Raph desperately tried. "YES." Donnie sighed, trying to focus on keeping Leo upright. "Careful, careful. Easy Leo..."

Leo huffed instantly before screaming out in pain again, unable to vocalize his feelings any other way.

Mikey winced a bit but still helped hold him up, letting him put all his weight against him "I'm sorry Leo, it's just for a second.."

"Splints-- Clear that back seat!" April exclaimed, keeping the path clear for the four.

Soon enough, they were able to get him to the back of the large, not-so-spotless van. Mikey and Donnie helped him to the ledge. "Just one step up, Leo."

"Oh blue..." Splinter whispered as he saw his son. "Boys, set him here. I'll look after him until we get home."

No one argued, though as they set him down, head in Splinter's lap, the poor teen winced. "HRK---"

"Breath, my son. We're here..." Splinter spoke quietly, making sure Leo wouldn't hit his head as he lay, putting a damp paper towel against one of the many scrapes. He looked up as Donnie spoke to him.
"He needs to stay awake. He has a concussion." The 'man' nodded "Understood."

Leo groaned and looked up weakly. "...Dad?"
"Try to keep your eyes open, Leonardo."

Donnie spoke up, leaning against the closed door of the van, exhausted. "April...Get us home.." The woman simply nodded and started to drive as Mikey looked at his Shakey hands, sniffling.
