Raphs always been there for his younger brothers, without fail, even for his own father raphs been a guide, but what about him?
Or
Raph helps his family, and then they finally realize how much he needs help to.
It was dark, and cold. Raph couldn't see anything, he could faintly hear voices screaming out. He couldn't make out what they were saying, but he could tell, those were his brothers. His brothers were screaming. He needed to protect them, but his body wouldn't move. Get up!! He thought It's your job to protect them!! Just get up!! His vision finally started to clear up and he could make out his brothers faces. They were scared, terrified. But...why were they staring at him? Why could he still not move- That's when raph saw it, his arm. It was exactly how it looked when he was being controlled by the krang. He was being controlled again. No...this can't be happening! We defeated the krang! Raph thought to himself. Mikey was to his left, crying on the floor, his face was bleeding, and he was begging raph to stop. Donnie was next to him, his face full of horror, a face that should never be on his purple clad brothers face. Leo...Leo was underneath him, barely conscious. He was beaten and bruised, blood poring from practically everywhere. And it was all raphs fault, raph was the one hitting him. He was supposed to protect his brothers...it wasn't supposed to be this way.. Why!? Why am I so weak! I should be able to fight this! I should be protecting them! Why am I being so useless!?
All of a sudden, raph felt a sharp pain on his head. He finally gained control of his body, so he shot up as fast as he could and looked at his surroundings. He was in his room, next to his bed? He must have fallen off. His hands were shaking and he was sweating more than meatsweats. Just a nightmare.... He backed slowly into the corner of his room, and sank down to the floor, his head in his hands. Just a nightmare....just a nightmare... Raph started crying quietly, shaky sobs escaping his mouth. It's been almost a year, why do I have to have these now? I should...I should be over this...so why... But deep down... Deep down raph knew why. Because what the krang did to him .....it wasn't all the krang... It was part of him to. He hurt his brothers, the monster in him hurt them. Sure the krang controlled him, but the monster? The monster was always raph, every day, every night, the monster is in him. It could try to hurt them at any moment.... If raph was being honest, he was more a danger to them then a help....and it's always been that way.
Mikey's POV:
I woke up at the time I usually do, earlier then the others so I could get started on breakfast. The first thing I noticed was that raph was still asleep, which was odd, because no matter how hard I tried to wake up before him, somehow he always beats me. In fact I don't think I remember a time where I woke up before him. I tried not to think much of it tho, because he deserves some rest, we all do. However now I'm starting to get worried....Leo and donnie have woken up, and raph is still in his room. Donnie, the insomniac that goes to bed hours after everyone and wakes up hours after everyone, is up before raph. Something isn't right....
"Hey Leo, have you talked to raph today? I haven't seen him at all..."
"Hmm no, maybe he's just polishing his plushy collection like he always does, don't worry to much hermano!"
"But he didn't even wake up for breakfast....and he didn't do his morning check in like he usually does! I'm really worried Leo...."
"As am I." Donnie chimed in from behind Leo, where he was sitting on a bean bag fiddling with his tablet.
"I've been texting him for hours because he promised he'd test out my new invention today, incase you were wondering it's a newly modified sentinel being-" Leo shoved his hand in Donnie's face "Yeah no one cares, anyway, are you sure he's not just out with April or Cassandra? It's not like him to just miss breakfast!"
"If that was the case wouldn't he have told one of us? I think we should check on him." I said crossing my arms.
"Yeah yeah you do that, I've got to find someone else to test my invention."
"And I've got a date with a samurai, so good luck hermano!"
"Great bunch of brothers you are."
I said walking to raphs room. I stopped at the curtain of the entrance and knocked lightly. I waited for about two minutes and still no response. Guess it's time for doctor delicate touch to take the reins. I burst through the curtain and held a firm stance.
"Raphael hamato get your butt up now or so help me I'll-.........r-raph?"
The room was poorly lit, and things were thrown everywhere, it might have been a normal sight, if I was in Donnie and Leo's room. But raph was the only one of us who actually tries to keep his room clean. It looks like a wild animal came through here... I heard a low growl from the corner of the room, funny it sounds just like raph when he's sava-.....oh no....
"RAPH!?"
I ran close enough to the corner to finally make out raphs face. He was curled up in a ball, nails digging into his side drawing blood, and I could hear him breathing heavily, snarls in-between. I moved forward slowly, trying not to startle him.
Raphs voice came out loud and commanding making me flinch back abruptly.
"Stay back. I'll just hurt you...."
Ok clearly this isn't a job for doctor delicate touch....more like a job for doctor feelings. And doctor feelings needs his associates.
"It's ok raph, I'm gonna get some help, just... don't move."
Don't worry big brother, you always help us, now it's our turn to return the favor.
