Chapter 1: Rescue

Leo woke to the feeling of straps holding him down, he turned his head, golden-brown eyes flicking over his surroundings. He was in a lab of sorts.

"Well Hello Leonardo, glad to see you," a man said as he walked out of the shadows and into the room. Leo's eye's narrowed and he growled.

"Bishop," Leo spat.

"Glad you remember me," Bishop said with a chuckle. Leo shifted against the straps, testing them, they didn't give. Bishop chuckled as he picked up a syringe. He pulged the needle into Leo's upper thigh. Leo grunted in pain. Bishop pulled the syringe out, it was filled with white liguid. Leo's eyes blazed.

"I'm going to dispose of you of course...nothing wrong with taking a few samples first," Bishop said smugly. Leo growled.

Bishop took a knife and removed the edge of Leo's uppper plastron. Leo snarled in pain. Bishop also removed a chunk of Leo's carapace. Leo's eyes rolled into the back of his head after Bishop injected him with something...hours later in a cage, Leo screamed and thrashed on the cement floor as Bishop examined Leo's "samples". A man came in and waited to be recognised.

"Yes?" Bishop demaned without looking up.

"The serum is ready sir," the man replied.

"Good, I'll give it to him in a few days after that injection wears off," Bishop replied, smiling a little.

*One Week Later*

Raph dropped down into a cell block, Don and Mike beside him.

"Don work your magic...tell us what cell," Raph hissed urgently.

"I hope he's ok," Mike whispered. Don quickly hacked into one of the computers and began sorting through the files.

"Cell 689," Don said quickly. Raph sprinted away eyes flicking across the numbers on the doors, Don and Mike hard behind him. Raph skidded to a stop when he saw the door. Mike nearly ran into him, Don nearly sprinted past. Raph smashed the lock and opened the door. Leo lay sprawled on the ground, limp, and horrifyingly pale. Mike pushed forward and knelt down. Don and Raph quickly coming forward behind him. A weak moan reached their ears as Mike gently rolled Leo over. Raph cussed at the sight of all the wounds, bruises, and injection marks. Raph quickly pulled Leo into his arms and stood up, holding him bridal style. Leo's head lulled against Raph's plastron, moaning softly. Mike touched Leo's forehead. Don glanced around, looking to make sure no one was coming.

"Hang in there bro," he whispered. Don gestured for them to follow. They almost made it out without incident, but Bishop must have noticed Leo's absence. Alarms started going off. Raph froze and growled, Leo whimpered against Raph.

"I got ya bro," Raph growled," hang in there." Bishop appeared on a cat walk above them, seconds later men began running in.

"Shoot them!" ordered Bishop. Darts rained down and the guys did their best to dodge. Raph grunted as dart hit his arm. Leo groaned as Raph stumbled. Don and Mike were flanking him. Somehow they got out and made it to the chopper. Raph laid Leo down onto a small stretcher. Raph ripped the dark from his arm and tossed it aside. Don frantically got the chopper going, Mike grabbed the First Aid Kit and dropped down next to Raph. Don took off the chopper barely avoiding missles.

"Donnie! Let me drive you're the medic around here! Help Leo!" Raph growled as he took over pushing Don in Leo and Mike's direction. Don sat down and started looking Leo over. He shuttered and bit back a sob when he saw the brand on Leo's arm. The brand read, B45C689TL, clearly and painfully on Leo's forearm. Mike sobbed and cradled Leo's head gently.

"Oh Bro..what did he do to you?" Don breathed. Leo moaned softly.

"Don, I got hit with one of those darts..." Raph said suddenly.

"So did I," Don said softly, he looked at Mike. He nodded.

"We all did," Don said bitterly," Raph are you feeling ok?"

"Yeah, nothing seems wrong," Raph mumbled," If I start feeling weird I'll let ya know."

"Alright, Mikey hand me that antibotic and start cleaning out those cuts," Don ordered. Mike quickly got to work.

"Why is he so pale Don?" Mike asked despretely, cradling Leo gently. Mike pulled Leo into a hug and adjusted the blanket that was covering him.

"Don I think he's running a fever," Mike said a few minutes later. Don glanced over and then moved to Leo's side, touching Leo's forehead.

"You're right Mike, Raph how are you feeling?" Don said quickly.

"Fine, Don its freakin me out..." Raph said replied quickly," Ya think Leo's got an infection?"

"Must be...hang in there bro, we're getting close," Don finished softly as Leo moaned.

April was pacing the lair, wringing her hands. Casey was sitting on the couch flipping through channels without stopping to see what was on. Don had contacted them a few hours ago. They were due back any minute. The sound of the door opening made April turn. Casey scrambled off the couch and tripped and nearly face-planted. Don came sprinting in.

"April! Is the infirmary ready?" Don asked despretely.

"Yes, where is he?" April asked asshe followed Don to the Infirmary.

"Raph is carrying him in, he's running a fever...April we gotta get this fever to break...he's not strong enough to break it himself.... we have to get some food in him, I don't think he's eaten in days," Don replied quickly. April grabbed the medical equipment Don shoved at her.

Raph burst in carrying a very limp figure. Mike tried to come in as well but Don ordered him out.

"Go make some chicken broth! Or something easy on the stomach now Mike! He needs food!!" Don ordered frantically. Mike paused only for a moment and then rushed toward the kitchen. Raph laid Leo down onto the Infirmary bed and stepped back, letting Don in. Leo moaned and shivered as Don looked him over.

"Don'y?" Leo slurred. Don nearly cried and gently cradled Leo's shoulders.

"Yeah its me bro," Don whispered. Don looked at April and pointed at the syringe he had laid out.

"Anitbotics, he needs all the help he can get," Don said softly. April nodded and handed Don the syringe.

Leo's eyes fluttered open a moment, landed on the syringe and he went balistic.

"NO!" Leo screamed, thrashing on the bed," NO PLEASE! NO! NO! PLEASE! PLEASE!" Raph grabbed him and tried to make him lay still.

"Bro its ok! Leo! Leo! Don get rid of that thing! He's freaking out!" Raph ordered. Don tossed the syringe to April and joined Raph's attempts to calm Leo down.

"Leo, shhh...shhh...its ok....shhh...shhh...Leo bro shhh...its ok," Don comforted quietly. After a few minutes Leo calapsed from exaustion, breathing in ragged gasps. Raph and Don continued to quietly comfort Leo, finally he went limp.

"I'm an idiot...I'm an idiot...I'm an idiot," Don sobbed softly. April put a hand on Don's shoulder.

"Donnie, you were trying to help him," April whispered.

"Bishop was injecting him...I-I should've know not to..." Don whispered. Raph smacked him. Don's jaw dropped open. April looked startled.

"Shut-up...and help him, Don he-" Raph started.

Thud.

Raph hit the ground.

Don blinked and then scrambled forward.

"Nonononononononono," Don said frantically, rushing forward. Seconds later there was a loud "crash" from the kitchen accompanied by a loud "Mikey!!" from Casey.

"April, we were darted with something....it must be kicking i-," Don gasped as he slumped on top of Raph.

"GUYS!" April gasped. Leo moaned and shuttered.

*Two hours later*

"Wah? Hpnd?" Don mumbled.

"You passed out, you're running a fever...there...its not a posion Don...like it wasjust supposedto make you sick...Leo's fever gone down...rest Don, go back to sleep," April said softly. Don's eyes fluttered shut.
