April POV.
I sighed as I stretched my bruised body. My mind still raced from the other nights event with "The Creep" as Mikey called it. That thing had given us quite a beat down, but at least no of us were seriously injured.
Well except for Leo...
He was still recovering from his fight with the Shredder and and pushed himself beyond his limit to try and save us. Then he stayed up all night with Donnie to make sure Raph was put back to normal.
Raph awoke up with just being a little sore and tired, but other wise ok. Everyone was happy and we made our way back to the house. But as soon as we stepped inside, Leo collapsed in a heap on the porch.
"Leo!" Raph yelled
He ran to Leo's side and rolled him on his shell. Leo was breathing funny and he looked very pale. Sweat rolled down his forehead and he looked like he was clutching his chest
Mikey and Donnie ran to Leo's side also.
"What's wrong with Donnie?!" Mikey asked frantically.
Donnie shook his head as he gently ran his hands over Leo's upper plastron. Leo gasped as Donnie pressed on his right side, where Shredder had slashed him. His brown eyes widened as Leo started gasping for air.
"Raph! Help me get him inside April grab me the med kit! It's by the kitchen table! Casey! Grab some ice from the fridge! Mikey! Get some damp cloths!"
Donnie ordered.
Normally, Casey would object to taking orders from Donatello, but I guessed he sensed the urgency of the situation and ran inside without question.
The turtles quickly lifted up Leo and I ran into the kitchen. The red box stood out like a apple tree in pine forest.
"Donnie's box" glowed in bright yellow letters as I grab it by the handle.
I went into the living room where they Leo stretched out the couch. His swords, sheath, elbow and knee pads, and his mask and been removed. He was gasping harder for breath and groaning in pain. Donnie quickly took the box from me and opened it. Taking out what looked like to be a mini x-Ray, he scanned Leo's chest. His face was stern and I knew he was in his zone.
Raph was getting impatient, but I knew he was just worried about Leo.
"What's wrong with him Donnie?!" His voice was filled with worry.
Donnie held up a "one moment" finger.
He sighed and stopped scanning Leo's chest. Talking out what looked like a big needle, he poked it into Leo's side. Leo grunted but soon he was breathing easier though he still looked like to be in a lot of pain.
"Raph, help me lift him up. April see that bandage? I need you to wrap out around Leo's chest, but not to tight."
Raph huffed but did as he was told.
"Uh!" Leo gasped in pain. Donnie placed his three fingered on his brother.
"I know it hurts Leo, but just bare with us for awhile longer."
Leo opened his pain-filled blue eyes a slit and gave a slight nod.
I quickly and gently wrapped his torso and shoulder and they set him back gently on the couch. Leonardo sighed a little in relief and his breathing became a little steadier. It was then Mikey and Casey came back with the damp cloths and ice. Donnie put the the cloth on Leo's forehead and put the ice on His knee, which had swelled to twice it's normal size.
"Now will you tell us what's wrong Donnie?!" Raph asked
Donnie scowled.
"If you would calm down, then I'll explain, Raph!" He yelled back.
Mickey stepped between the two hotheads.
"Whoa bros! Just chill! Let's think about Leo for now." He said calmly.
Raph gritted his teeth but just crossed his arms. Mikey sighed a breath of relief. Donnie placed a hand on Leo's forehead.
"Leo has several broken bruised and a fractured rib. It was pressing against lung causing him pain. He also has fever. Probably from straining his body too much. The fight with the Creep really took it out of him. He still hasn't recovered from what Shredder did to him. His shoulder was injured pretty badly too." Donnie explained.
I looked at Leonardo. His skin was pale from the fever and he was still breathing funny.
"But why is he still breathing funny?" I asked.
Donnie shook his head.
"He has an infection, but I don't know where. Probably from the lack of sleep and overstraining. I don't have any sort medicine that will help him though."
He said his voice dripping in defeat.
I touch his shoulder. I heard Casey growl mildly with annoyance. I ignored him.
"Don't worry Don. I know you'll figure out someway to help Leo. You've done it before." I said trying to encourage.
He gave a small smile.
"Thanks April, but I just don't have the proper medicine to give."
Suddenly, Casey's face beamed.
"Hey! Let's try the grocery store in sure they have something that should help."
"That's a great idea Casey!" I exclaimed. "We need to get some groceries anyway."
I took his hand, and I swore I saw him blush a bit.
"We'll be back in a couple hours. There's plenty of clean cloths and ice in the fridge. It should be enough to keep his fever down. I'll see what they have at the store."
With that, me and Casey took the party wagon and raced down the dirt road.
A few hours later....
The sky was dark by the time we got back. I had box of groceries along with pain pills and fever reducers for Leo. Casey stayed behind to fix the party wagon.
As I step into the house to see the most precious thing. I whipped out my t-phone and took a pic.
Leo was resting peacefully. His knee propped up on pillows. The cloth had been removed from his forehead and he was breathing normally. Don was kneeled next to him, his hand clasping Leo's. Mikey was laying on stomach in top the couch resting his hand Leo's uninjured leg. Raph was leaning against the left side of the couch, his head resting against the arm where Leo's head was.
I've never seen them so content since New York. I was happy for them and I now have a picture to remind them by.
The End.
