Heart of the Hamato Clan

This angst/hurt/comfort story is set five months after Splinter's death (Post Season 4 TMNT 2012)

Mikey ran away to April's Farmhouse after getting coldly berated by his brothers during a messed up patrol. The brothers went to find him there but soon as they found each other, Mikey got bitten by a giant mutated snake while protecting some mutated gophers

What results is after another argument is Mikey finally lashing out to his brothers, venting out years of pent up anger and sadness. But soon Mikey got sicker and was dying due to the strong venom, much to his brothers' horror

Seeking help from the mutated gophers, the brothers are in a race against time to find a cure for the poison in five hours or the poison will kill Mikey.

It is there that the brothers learn the true value and power Mikey holds in the family as well as realising how close they came to breaking apart and vow to do anything to set things right

Can they save their baby brother from an agonising death before it's too late? Will they be able to rekindled their brotherhood or is it the end of the Hamato Clan?
