---------------------------------------------------------

Back at the base, Casey was sat, back against the large garage-ish door. The air was still and silent, but the softest sound of sobs filled the air as the teen hugged himself tightly.

All of the sudden, he flinched as a rattle began. The door behind him began to lift up with some creeks and groans. Two lights shown in the distance and only got brighter as the vehicle got closer.

"Outta the way Casey!"

Said teen covered his eyes to block out the harsh light, before standing up. "Oh--Right-!" He moved to the side, as the large van sped inside. As it parked, Raph was the first one to get out. His damaged eye closed, as he turned to look over. "Casey?"

Tears filled Casey's eyes, as he stumbled over his words. "Raphael- I-I-" In an instant, he had his arms around the snapping turtle the best he could, sobbing loudly as he spoke. "I'm so sorry!"

Taken a bit aback, Raph hugged him softly "It's okay. It's okay, breath. You're okay..." "But Sensei Leo- Leonardo-- He's- He-" 

"He's been better..." Came a raspy voice, causing Casey to perk up and look over, into the van. "But he's still kicking." 

The black-haired boy smiled widely, stifling his sobs to the best of his ability. "Sensei..."

"Alright everybody. Listen up." Donatello stood in front of Leo but faced everyone else as he spoke. "I need Nardo moved to the med-bay. Casey, you can help me with that. April, please take care of Mikey. Dad, take Raph." 

The three nodded "Right!" 

As April, Splinter, Raph and Mikey walked off, Donnie turned to face his twin. "We're going to get you up and inside, alright?" Leo simply sighed but nodded "This'll be fun..." Don rolled his eyes and spoke up. "I need you to not pass out." "I'll do my best-"

"I'm serious, Leo." He grabbed his brother from the Back, and slowly forced him to sit up, Casey doing the same, resulting in Leo to wince. "S-So-- Am I." "Careful- Remember to breath, sensei..."

"Casey. We get up on three." "Breath..Breath..."

"One"

"Two"

"Three!"
