Splintersons

Chapter 2

Hey yall! Im back! I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! I have brought to you all, the second chapter so I hope you all enjoy this! Now, Onto the story!

I ran faster than I've ever ran before. I don't know how much time Baby has left and that worries me. I could feel the claws of the other little ones digging into my skin but I didn't mind, they were holding on, just like I told them to. I could tell that they were scared, the small chirps that I heard from them. I couldn't tell them that everything was going to be okay because I didn't know it myself if it was going to be but thankfully, I could see the door to my lair coming up. I kept my grip on Baby and spoke loud enough for the others to hear me, "My lair is just up ahead. When I stop, I need you guys to get off so that I can hand you Baby so that I can get the door open. Can you guys watch Baby while I do that?" From the huffs on the sides of my face and the back of my head, I could tell that I offended the little tots. I let out a breathless chuckle and said, "You're right, my bad." By the time I finished speaking, we were in front of the door. I knelt down and let the little tots slid off me before I turned and gently gave Baby to Spike. I stood back up and turned back towards the door and started doing everything I needed to do to open the door. I wanted to make that just in case someone did manage to find it, that it would be difficult to open for them.

First I pressed in a brick that was slightly different from the others, just by touch only. Then I twisted a small knob on a pipe next to the wall and another knob that was hidden on the other side. After that, the door opened and quickly turned back around and held my arms out to Spike to give me Baby but I could see that he was too distracted by what just happened. I had to hold in a chuckle, "I need Baby, Spike. So that I can make him better." That seemed to shake Spike out of his trance and as gently as he could, he laid Baby back in my arms.

I stood back up and made my way into the lair quickly, the little tots right behind me. After we were all inside, the door closed shut behind us, causing the little tots to jump slightly but I was too busy making my way to the small area that I dubbed as the med bay. I laid Baby gently on the cot and quickly got to work. I didn't have the amount of supplies or the same ones I had in my dimension but I made do with what I could make or what I could and right now, I am really glad that I didn't get hurt all that much whenever I went out.

The first thing I got started on was cleaning Baby, wiping off the mud and dried blood, all while looking him over, seeing if there were any other wounds that needed to be taken care of immediately. And thankfully, I didn't see any. After I got him cleaned up, I started an IV and began to take care of the wounds on his head and arms. It took a while because he kept whimpering and his brothers kept trying to climb up on the cot with him. I didn't want to risk giving him any painkillers with how small he was. I could feel my heart breaking even more with each cry and whimper that came out of his little mouth. I finally finished wrapping the last one on his and took a step back, falling onto the chair that was behind me somehow, I wasn't even going to question it. Baby was passed out finally, along with his brothers once I allowed them up on the cot with him. I also decided to start calling the other two Stripes and Softy. I smiled softly at all of them, seeing that they were close to one another. They probably had to be with how their Splinter treated them earlier. When that thought ran across my mind, the soft smile I had turned into a hard frown as I thought about what I should do.

What I really wanted to do was hunt this Splinter down and demand why he treated his sons that way. Well, ex sons. They were my sons now and no one was going to stop me. I suddenly laughed, causing the little tots to jump awake. They looked at me so confused. I waved my hand over at them, wheeling over to them. "Wh-what..unny?" Spike asked. I let out a chuckle and rubbed the top of his head, getting a small churr in response, him pushing his head more into my hand. "Nothing little man. Just thought of what I'm gonna tell my family once I get home with you guys with me." The churring stopped and Spike looked at me with hope in his eyes? It was hard to tell because it was masked with something else, almost like fear but not quite fear.

"We...we...go..ome..wif...you..?" The way he asked that question just shattered what was left of my heart. I looked at all of them with tears starting to gather in my eyes as I nodded, "Yeah, you guys will come home with me." I scooped them all up and set them on my lap, being mindful of Baby's IV line. They all chirped in surprise then looked up at me. Tears started to slowly fall as I smiled at the four of them. "You guys are mine now. And I'm never going to leave you behind, ever." They all had tears in their eyes, Baby crying quietly as he held onto me, hiding his face in my plastron. Spikes lip wobbled as he spoke, "P..p..pomise...?" I nodded, gathering them all up and holding them close as we cried. "I promise...my sons.."
