30 || Angry Mutants... Again

Oh, ow. My head.

"Fucking elephant," I muttered, holding my head and cracking my eyes open as I sat up.

I'm gonna kill that bitch when I see her again.

"What about an elephant?" I turned at the sound of his voice. Mikey sat cross-legged in a bed beside the one I was in, which I recognized as Raphael's. "Oh god." Mikey's blue eyes widened in horror. "You guys she has brain damage for sure!"

A groan resonated from the living room. "Mikey, I told you! Her cranium never came into violent contact with anything, so there's no way she could've damaged her brain!" Donnie called, obviously annoyed with his younger brother, who just ignored him and held a hand up in front of my face.

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Two," I said drily. "Mikey, I'm fine. My head just hurts a bit."

"See!" He cried, pointing a finger at me just as Donnie entered the room. "See I told you!"

Well that was the wrong thing to say in front of him.

"Mikey, can you go get her an ice pack, some water and something to eat?" He asked calmly, stopping at the edge of my bed—or really, Raph's.

Wait, where is Raph?

"Where's Raph?" I blurted without a thought. Donnie grimaced and adjusted his glasses nervously.

"Ah, he's with Sensei."

Again? Oh, he is not going to be happy about that.

"He's not in trouble, is he?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to know the answer or not. He bit his lip and briefly glanced away, which was an answer in itself. I groaned and fell back into the bed.

"Damn it, this is all my fault."

"Well..." Donnie began to work up some way to reassure me that it wasn't but trailed off upon realizing that it really was. "I mean, he could've been more discreet in saving you, but...uh." He cleared his throat. "So uhm, how do you feel?"

"Like shit. There's a headache in the back of my head right here..." I sat up and pressed a finger to the spot for a better explanation.

"Yeah, that's where you were hit, that's normal. Anything else?"

"Well I somehow did a high kick and probably pulled something in my groin. But hey, I didn't fall on my face."

He chuckled. "Oh yeah, I've done that before. Just treat it like a sore muscle, it'll heal on its own." I nodded.

"Thanks, Donnie... so uh, what happened?"

"Well I was asleep until Raphael ran in here with you unconscious and yelling at me to fix you, so I don't know much."

Oh my god he's going to kill me. I sighed.

"Well I woke up at around eleven and everyone was passed out, so I left but I somehow zoned out and got myself lost in the sewers. I ended up near the docks where I found the Foot looking for something in the shipping crates. I used the little tracker thing you made, which is awesome by the way, and was going to go hide but then one of them found me and they were speaking Japanese so I had no idea what was going on. Anyways, Raph showed up and distracted them enough for me to escape, but I still got knocked out. And that's all I know. God, he's gonna murder me." I glanced toward Sensei's room a bit fearfully.

"I can sedate him long enough for someone to take you home," Donnie offered, only joking.

I laughed. "Yeah, then he'll wanna kill both of us."
