Thank you so much for all the reviews and the requests to keep this going. Mucho Gracias amigos! :D Here is another chapter, this time it's in Donatello's point of view. Hope you enjoy it!

Donatello's point of view

My brother, my poor older brother was sitting in a bath tub unconscious. He should be up telling us how to deal with all of the recent events. He should be pushing us to train and formulating a plan to get back to New York. He should be downstairs right now with Mikey watching Space Heroes and Cronan the Barbarian. Instead, he is sitting up here in the bath tub, broken and wounded.

It was my fault that he is in this predicament. If I hadn't argued with him back in the sewer we never would have split up. Leonardo would never have been out in the open like he was, vulnerable to Shredder and Tiger Claw. He never would have been beaten to a pulp and thrown through April's window like a piece of trash.

And Master Splinter, he never would have had to cover for us in order to make an escape out of the sewers. If I hadn't argued with Leo, we wouldn't have had to split up. We could have all gotten out of there and then our Father would have never had to go up against the Shredder like he did.

I shifted slightly and stretched a little. Sitting in this old chair for three hours has taken a toll on my already sore muscles. My tired eyes continue to stare at my brother's still form. The slight movement from his rising and falling chest is all that tells me that he's alive. I grab ahold of his hand and hold it in mine, hoping that this will provide me some comfort.

The chill in that bathroom reminds me that it's still winter as it runs up and down my bare skin. I wish I could put a blanket around my brother. The cold starts to turn his skin a tinge of blue and I decided to turn on the hot water. Hopefully this will chase away the cold.

As I turn on the faucet to the red side of the tub, I flip the switch, and immediately water trickles down on my brother. I place my fingers through the running water and let it's cool touch wash down my hand and arm. When the water starts to warm up, I increase its speed and let it wash over my brother. Steam started to rise up from the tub where he lay. When the water got to his plastron, I shut it off.

"Donnie?" I hear a voice call to me. I know it's Mikey but I didn't feel like talking to him right now. I hesitantly turn around to see my other brother standing in the doorway with a…chicken? What the?

"Donnie, I'm sorry to interrupt but Lucy here is not feeling well. She's not laying eggs and I think something is wrong. Can you take a look at her?" He asked sheepishly.

The chicken didn't fight my brother as he held it there. It made a few clucking sounds but nestled itself in his big three fingered hands. She definitely didn't look good but what the hell did he want me to do? I wasn't a doctor, I was a scientist, an inventor.

"What do you think I can do about it Mikey?" I asked him as I stood up and stretched.

"Well I thought that since you were able to fix us all the time and you were able to help Leo, you could uh," he trailed off. I guess the annoyed look on my face gave him his answer. I was tired and I didn't feel like dealing with him at the moment. Leo was my top priority and I wasn't going to let something like this silly chicken distract me. My blood was starting to boil, and I guess my temper was rising due to the amount of stress that I have been under and the lack of sleep.

Before I could even register what I was going to respond, I went off on my orange banded brother. "I am not a doctor Mikey!" I yelled and made my way to where he was standing. He started to flinch, cowering behind the chicken as he put his hands up in front of his face. When I reached him, I angrily pushed the chicken out of the way so I could look into his eyes. I heard a thump hit the floor and heard Lucy squawk in protest.

I was met with fearful blue eyes but I ignored it. How dare he assume that I could fix his stupid chicken? "Don't ever, EVER come in and tell me that I was able to fix Leo, you hear me?" I screamed in his face. "Look at him, Mikey" I said as I pointed to our leader in the tub. "Does he look 'fixed' to you? I don't think he will ever wake up". My breathing started to increase as I felt a little out of control at that moment. I caught a glimpse of my brother's face as I held tightly onto his arm. Tears were leaking down his face as I let go of him and pushed him away. "I don't care about that chicken. Don't come in and bother me with your stupid…ergh I don't know, you're just being stupid".

Mikey wiped his tears and quickly made a dash through the door. I stood there for a second to recompose myself when Raph came running in. "What the hell, Donnie? I heard yelling all the way from outside. Mikey ran out and he looked like he was crying. What did you say to him?"

It took a moment to process what just happened and then it hit me. "I said some awful things to him" I replied as he picked up Lucy who looked confused as to what was going on. "I'm a terrible brother. I argued with Leo and he got hurt because of me. And now, Mikey…." I trailed off, guilt was hitting me at that moment.

"Donnie," Raph placed a hand on my shoulder. "You're not a bad brother, you just lost your temper. You're tired and just over stressed. I will watch Leo, go after him Donnie." I pulled away from him and took off down the stairs. I ran into April on my way down and she pointed towards the front door, signaling that Mikey went that way. I nodded and continued.

As I opened the door, I was greeted with a winter wonderland. The snow was coming down pretty hard and started to pile up on the van, the windshield completely covered. I quickly realized how cold it was and my brother probably didn't have a coat or boots on. I turned and grabbed my coat off the rack just inside the door. After bundling up, I grabbed the orange winter coat that still hung on the rack and continued on my way out the door.

I quickly shuffled through the white powder and started calling for my brother. "Mikey! Where are you?" I could see my breath hitting the cool air as I yelled for him. I was hoping that he would answer me but I was just greeted with silence.

Great, he's gone off into the woods. I start searching the ground and aha I found his foot prints. They were faint since the snow was already starting to cover them but thank goodness I could try and find him. As I made my way through the wooded area, I started feeling that hint of guilt rise up again. I can't believe I said that to him. I really hurt his feelings.

I followed the trail of footprints to a small hilltop in the small wooded area. They stopped when I reached a tall oak tree. Feeling disappointed that I possibly lost him, I look up. Between the falling flakes that made their way down my face as they fell from the sky, I see a small green figure high up in the tree. Mikey was perched on one of the branches and looked deep in thought. I don't even think he heard me walk over here.

"Mikey!" I said as I placed my hand over my eyes to prevent the snow from getting in. I startle him and before I knew it, he slipped off the branch that he was sitting in thanks to the snow and ice that was forming on it and started to fall. I panic when I see him make his way towards the ground. Not knowing what else to do, I stand directly underneath from where he was tumbling and reached my arms up towards the sky with the anticipation of catching him.

Well, I caught him. Sort of. Suddenly I felt the force of his weight collide with me and we both fell to the ground. I lay there in the snow for a minute before I decide to get up to check on my brother, trying to get my breathing under control since breaking his fall knocked the wind out of me. I started to panic when I didn't see him move from where he fell and quickly checked him over.

"Mikey, Mike, talk to me!" I turned him over and placed my hand on his head as his bright blue eyes opened and looked up at me. He looked confused for a moment and tears started to sting at my eyes as I swallowed the lump that was forming in my throat.

"Donnie?" he asked. He attempted to sit up but I stopped him from moving. I gently place my hands under his armpits and hoist him in a seated position. He started to shiver so I grabbed the orange coat that was lying in the snow next to us and placed it over his shoulders. I pulled him closer to me and tried to warm him up.

"Mikey, I'm sorry" I said through chattered teeth. "Look, let's go back and warm up at the house. We can talk more there". I felt him nod and I carefully lifted him up and supported him as we started to make our way back.

When we reached the house, I quickly yelled for Raph to grab some blankets. I placed Mikey over on the couch by the fireplace and started to check him over for injuries. With nothing but a twisted ankle, I sighed a bit of relief. Raph came in and placed a red flannel blanket over his shoulders. I sat next to him on the couch and nodded to Raph that it was okay to go back upstairs.

"You know where to find me if you need me. Work it out guys" He said as he made his way back up the steps.

Mikey didn't talk during our trip back home and I think he was a little mad at me. I couldn't really blame him if he was. I managed to push him away, yell at him, and then he fell out of a freaking tree. I nudged him to get his attention, pulling him out of the trance that he was in.

"Mikey, I'm really sorry. I don't know what came over me" I said softly. He turned to face me as I continued. "I am such a horrible brother. I yelled at Leo and he got hurt. And I did the same thing to you too". I put my head down in shame and sat quietly. No response from Mikey. I guess he really is pissed.

"Dude, it was my fault for going up in that tree. And Donnie," Mikey guided my eyes back up to his as he placed a hand under my chin. "You're not a terrible brother. I forgave you the moment you yelled at me". Silly Mikey, he always has a heart of gold.

Before I knew it, I was pressed up against him in a hug. Tears sting my eyes and fall down my cheeks as he just held onto me. "I never should have yelled at you, Mikey. I never should have yelled at Leo either. I feel like history repeated itself".

"D, I am sure Leo knows that you are sorry. Its not your fault so don't blame yourself for me or him. We've been through hell these last few weeks". He pulled away and gave me a signature Mikey grin.

"Why were you up in that tree?" I managed to ask as I wiped my tears away.

"It's my place to think. I go there when things get to be too much around here. The view is awesome and has a way of just calming me down when I'm upset".

I half laugh remembering his ankle and reply, "well you won't be climbing trees anytime soon"

"Well, you shouldn't be up in that bathroom for hours at a time. You need your rest, bro". He gave me another cheeky grin and I pull him in towards me. His head rests up against my plastron as I fix my blanket and join it with his so I could put my arms around him. I rest my head on his and start to fiddle with the tails of his mask.

"Leo will wake up Donnie, you'll see. You've done everything you could possibly do, its all up to him now" I hear him mumble. "Stop beating yourself up". I feel him wrap his arms around my torso and pull himself closer into my embrace. I held onto him as I processed what he said. He's right, I need to start living in the present and stop hanging on to what happened in the past. Leo would want us to keep charging forward. Master Splinter would want the same thing too.

I felt Mikey's breathing get slower and more relaxed. I guess he fell asleep. Before I let the much needed rest take over, I whispered, "I love you Mikey".

REVIEW! I think this is the last chapter unless anyone has any other ideas! Not the best chapter, but it's there! Thank you everyone for showing your love for this fic!
