In between series: Dimensions

Traitor!

Leo looked up as Donnie walked in.

"Where have you been?!" He said frantically.

Donnie just stared at him, then went to his corner and sat down. "Exploring."

Leo looked at him, raising an eyeridge. "You need to tell me next time, this is a strange new world, and I don't want anyone else to get hurt. Alright?"

"I will... have you found Raph?" Donnie asked.

Mikey looked up. "Wait, Raph's not here?"

Leo shook his head. "Last I saw he had the little... lamb thing, and they were going down the road."

Donnie stood back up. "If he had his T-phone on him... I'll be able to find him." He grabbed his Bo staff.

Leo stood up. "I'm coming with you, Mikey, stay."

Mikey pouted, and grumbled.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea you can't leave Mikey alone." Donnie pointed out. Leo sighed.

"Fine. Mikey! Come, but don't touch ANYTHING."

Donnie frowned then walked out, he wasn't so sure this would end well. The three walked down the street looking for their brother.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

"Where do you think he will be?" Donatello climbed a building and looked around slowly.

"Honestly, I don't know." Leo said sounding tired.

The auburn eyed turtle yelped in surprise as someone jumped down behind them.

"Ya looking for me?" A deep voice grumbled n

Mikey jumped and yelped, Leo turned and looked at Raph.

"Raph! Where'd you go?! And who fixed your arm!?!" Leo said eyes growing wide.

"That doesn't matter. What the heck are you guys doing out here? It's not safe."

Leo rolled his eyes and turned around. "Come on I guys, let's just go."

Raph growled then stopped and sniffed around slowly, he glared darkly at Donnie.

"You... You were with HIM, weren't you?!?"

Donnie stepped backwards quickly. "What?"

"You were with the FLEABAG what the HELL where you doing with IT?!" Raphael shoved his brother away, Don stumbled and frowned.

"Don't call him that! You don't understand him!" Donatello shot back.

"You let him manipulate you!? How dumb are you!?" Raph growled.

Leo stepped in between both of them, and held Raph back. "Donnie, what's going on?" Leo said exasperated.

"I'll tell you what's going on! Don is CONSPIRING with the freaking ratbag who's got RABIES!!"

Leo looked pointedly at Raph. "I was not asking YOU, Raph. I was ASKING Donnie."

"All I did, was speak with him." Don responded calmly.

Raphael started swearing colorfully, Leonardo and Michelangelo had to hold him back.

"Donnie, why? Why? You know what he did to Raph, why?"

"Ever heard of don't judge a book by its cover? I live by that the best I can."

Raph tried to get free. Leo smacked Raph upside the head and turned back to their intelligent brother, Raph growled darkly at Leo.

"What do you mean? He attacked Raph, he's a predator a wolf, we can't trust him."

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH!!" The purple clad turtle yelled as his eyes burned angrily.

"NOT ENOUGH DON!! HE HASN'T BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH UNTIL I GET THROUGH WITH HIM!!" The emerald turtle boomed angrily and tried to get free

Donatello glared and pressed a finger harshly onto Raph's wound making him cry out in pain and he stopped struggling.

"Don't. You. Dare. Say that about him." He growled and stormed off.

Leo looked at Raph. "Take Mikey back, I'm going after Donnie, get to base and STAY."

Leo walked after Donnie, leaving Mikey with Raph. Raph grumbled and held his arm, then went to the base, dragging Mikey behind him.

Donatello was on the beach, just staring at the water thinking. Leo hung back, and thought carefully of what to say.

"He's not EVIL Leonardo." Donnie fiddled with a bandage "You guys just don't understand."

Leo walked up to Donnie and sat down beside his brother.

"You're right, I don't understand. I doubt I ever will. But try to understand how we feel. You've been talking to someone who had severely injured one of our own. I mean, what happened to turtles first?"

"It's still there Leo. Raph got hurt because he was an idiot and acted without thinking."

"No, Raph got hurt because he was protecting that small... thing from the wolf. He was trying to help. Yes there most likely was stupidity involved. But he did the right thing."

"Fine I'm the idiot." Don stood up and started walking off. "Let's just get back to the base." Leo stood up and grabbed Donnie's shoulder, the tallest terrapin flinched and hissed in pain.

"No that's NOT what I said. I said try to understand where we are coming from. How Raph might feel about it. That's all I'm trying to say."

"Okay... I understand... But the wolf isn't as horrible as we think."

Leo threw his hands up in the air as a sign of defeat. "Alright I'll drop it. But you have to do the same. Deal?"

Donnie bit his lip tightly. "Fine, but I'm not going to stop talking to him when the opportunity arises."

Leo started walking and scowled to himself. Would Donnie ever learn?

The auburn eyed turtle followed, determined to learn more about the wolf be free from his torment.
