Doctor Donnie

Chapter 6

Donnie woke up on his bed. He hadn't been able to sleep in it since Mikey got sick so it was nice to wake up on something soft. He lay there in silence, relishing in the softness of the sheets before getting up, popping his back.

He walked into the lab and stood in shock at the disaster the lab had turned into overnight. He looked around for Mikey and saw him crouching in a corner. He frowned and stepped forward, hand outstretched to his brother.

Mikey leapt onto him, foam in the corners of his mouth and eyes red. Donnie's eyes widened. His brother had gone rabid.

Mikey wrapped his hands around his brother's throat. Donnie managed to call for help before he lost his ability to breath. Leo and Raph ran in and grabbed Mikey by the arms, pulling him off. Mikey snapped at them.

"Don't let him bite you," Donnie rasped, rubbing his bruised neck.

Raph chained him up in the corner and Leo helped Donnie to his feet. Donnie regained his breathing quickly..

"I have to make an antidote fast. Could you guys keep an eye on him? And make sure he doesn't bite you."

Raph and Leo nodded and Donnie disappeared behind stacks of paper and vials of chemicals.

Leo looked at Raph, who was twirling his sais. He suddenly smirked. "Hey Raph."

"What?" Raph looked at him.

"What d'ya think would happen if Mikey bit one if us?"

"I don't know." Raph raised a brow.

"Aren't you just the tiniest bit curious?" He asked.

"Not particularly, no."

Leo sighed. "You're no fun."

Raph growled. "Oh I'm not fun? Lets see about that." He suddenly pushed Leo towards Mikey.

Leo scrambled backwards from Mikey's snapping jaws.

"Very funny Raph," Leo called.

Raph just laughed. "Scardey turtle."

"Guys I'm serious! If Mikey bites you, you could die! Don't fool around like that!" Donnie called, delicately pouring chemicals into a beaker.

Raph and Leo looked at each other before looking at Mikey. He was hunched over, breathing hard. He looked up at them with red eyes and snarled, foam dripping down to the ground. They looked away quickly.

Donnie put the solution into a syringe and came out, watching Leo and Raph for a few moments. They kept looking at Mikey with fear in their eyes. Donnie sighed sadly and came over, just outside of Mikey's reach. He looked up at him snd for a moment his crystal blue eyes could be seen before he turned back into a snarling monster.

Donnie crouched beside him and Mikey just sat there, looking at his older brother.

For some strange reason, Donnie felt like this was the real Mikey, that he wasn't rabid and was scared of needles.

Knowing he was an idiot, he held out the shot and Mikey shied away from it. He frowned. Maybe somewhere under the mask of illness, Mikey was watching, waiting to be cured.

"I know you're scared of needles," he murmured. Mikey stopped hid struggling. "But it's on,y going to hurt for a few seconds snd then it'll all be over and you'll be better okay? So could you just do this for me?" Donnie asked, unable to keep a pleading tone out of his voice.

Mikey slowly blinked. Donnie held the shot against his shoulder and slowly injected the liquid. He kept eye contact with his younger brother. He could see Mikey trembling softly.

Mikey blinked several times and Donnie saw the baby blue color return. Mikey leaned against Donnie, eyes drooping close.

Donnie held Mikey close. "I'd thought we lost you Mikey," he whispered.

Mikey slowly opened his eyes, glancing up at his brother. He snuggled close to Donnie. "Will I get better now?" He asked softly.

Donnie rubbed Mikey's arms softly. "I hope so little brother." He looked off into space. "I hope so."

I think I'm going to end it at this- I'll have another chapter wrapping it up unless I get some more ideas before spring break ends (two weeks) so get your ideas in!
