TMNT: Blue

Chapter fourteen

Raph's Point of View:

I was absolutely livid! How dare he! How dare he be so thoughtless in his decision! What was I sayin'? How dare they! Heads were goin' ta roll and both were green.

"What tha shell were ya thinkin' walkin' in here without bandagin' yourself first, Mikey?" I snarled as I paced outside of tha door of tha room that my mate had been laid in after he had fainted, "Leo is in no condition ta handle seein' ya like that."

"I didn't…Donnie said…," Mikey babbled as I all but breathed fire and brimstone, "I didn't mean to, Raphie! I didn't mean to upset Leo and I'm so sorry! Donnie told me to wait until we got to April's to deal with my injury. It's not even a very deep wound and…I feel so bad. I'm sorry!"

"My son, this was not thought out well," Father interrupted as he bandaged Mikey's arm as I digested this new information, "Leonardo has been near frantic in worry over you and Donatello. For you to come here dripping in blood was too much for your brother's delicate system. The hormones from the pregnancy has made him very emotional compared to how he is normally. I realize that you were following Donatello's orders, but more thought needs to be taken into consideration from now on. Even when Leonardo is no longer pregnant, the twins cannot be exposed to shocks like this at a young age. Think things through more, Michelangelo."

"Hai, Sensei," Mikey agreed lookin' contrite.

"Ya had better be glad that I was close enough ta catch my mate before he fell hard," I sniped still not mollified, "I understand that ya were followin' Donnie's orders now, but I'm still goin' ta take a chunk out of both of your asses later when I know Blue is okay."

Mikey blanched as Father glared at me for my choice of language. Screw all of it. I'd use whatever words I wanted ta until I knew that my mate was fine. I started when Donnie exited tha door behind me.

"Leo is going to be okay, Raph," tha Genius reported before I got a word out, "He's still unconscious, but doing perfectly fine."

"What tha fuck happened ta my mate?" I demanded angrily, "How can ya say that Blue is fine when he just passed out like that? What about tha twins? Are tha babies okay?"

"Calm down, Raph," Donnie ordered as I snarled once again, "Leo had a bit of a shock so his mind simply shut down. The Imps are doing fine. Don't yell at Mikey anymore. It was my fault. I told our baby brother that I would see to him once we got here. I didn't even think that Leo would react like that and I should have. I heard everything that Father said out here and he is right. I wasn't thinking things through very well and I am so sorry for that."

I growled as I nodded and hurried inta tha room that housed my mate. Blue was too pale for my likin' and I sat next ta him on tha bed. I took his hand in mine and watched over him as he slept. I breathed deeply as I remembered back ta tha panic of catchin' my mate as he slumped over in a dead faint.

"What happened?" I asked as I sensed that Don had slipped inta tha room behind me, "It ain't like ya ta not think everythin' through. This had better be one shell of a story for ya ta have been so thoughtless around my pregnant mate, Donnie."

"I know. I don't know where my head was. I really have no excuse besides trying to think on my feet quickly. After you guys got away, Mikey and I snuck out the garage entrance and looped around so that Bishop wouldn't know how close he was to the lair. LH acted as if he had called us in for back up when he spotted us," my brother began as he pulled up a chair beside me, "Bishop began screaming at Mikey and I the minute he saw us about where his 'projects" were.

"I'm goin' ta skin that man alive one day," I gritted out as I stroked Blue's hand in mine, "Projects. I'm goin' ta cut out his tongue and make him regret that word. I'll make him regret ever thinkin' about tha Imps as somethin' ta dissect. Asshole."
