Raphael screamed and woke up in his room in a cold sweat. Panting, he looked around, seeing that he was in his room. He felt a bit woozy, and he rubbed his head. Raph noticed something; his mask wasn't on for some reason! He saw that his blankets and sheets were all torn up. There were also scratch marks on the walls.
"Humph! stupid sewer mice!" He said, yawning. He walked into the lab and stretched. "Morning Donni-" Raphael gasped, seeing Jamie laid on the table,covered in gashes. "Jamie! What happened to you?!" He was about to run to her only to be stopped by Leo.
"Raph! Good to see you man! How you feeling?" He wondered, trying to hide Jamie from Raph seeing.
"What. Happened. To her!?" Raphael exclaimed.
"Well... I'm not sure, but I think that Donnie knows," Leo answered, he let Raph through.
"Donnie! What happened?!" Raph yelled.
Donnie sighed. "You. You did Raph," he replied.
Raph's eyes widened. "W-What!?" He exclaimed in horror.
Jamie opened her eyes, and saw Raph right away. She quickly jumped and backed up as soon as she saw him. "Get away!" Her voice shook.
Raph became startled after her sudden shriek. "But J-Jamie! How did I-" he backed away with his hands up.
"Just st-stay away from me, you... You..." She tensed up.
Raph looked at her. Jamie looked at him.
"Monster, right?" He finished her sentence.
Jamie kept quiet and looked down. Leo started to talk to clear the awkwardness. "Okay, Jamie, you need to get some rest, and Raph, you should probably..." He trailed off.
"Leave. I get it." Raph sighed.
"Just out of the room, though. Not out of the lair." He glared at him and walked out.
***
Around fifteen minutes later, Mona Lisa came in the lair, and was surprised to see Raphael lifting weights. She had a red cloth in her hand.
"Raphael!? Is that you?" She exclaimed and smiled.
He lifted the weights and growled. "No... It's the freaking muffin man! Of course it's me!" He yelled.
"Okay okay," she started to walk to him. Cautiously. "It's just that, I haven't seen you since you were in your coma. How are you?"
"I'm... Good." Raph stuttered, then sat down on the couch, still lifting weights.
"No. You're not. I can tell, Raph," she sat down next to him, still hanging onto the cloth.
He put the weight down and rubbed his hands together. "What happened last night? Why did I attack Jamie?" He asked, mumbling.
"I don't know the why, but you were yelling, saying it was her fault, then you... Then you started to attack her," Mona sighed and looked down. "I honestly have to say it was the..." She trailed off.
He facepalmed and groaned. "The what?"
"Well, if the whole capturing thing didn't happen, then that would've been the most frightening thing I've ever saw. Other than..." Mona looked down.
"Other than what?"
She shook her head. "Never mind," Mona smiled. "Why don't we order something? Pizza?"
"I'm not hungry." He replied and sighed, walking back to his room.
"I'm getting Pizza, guys!" Mona called out.
"Alright! We're going on patrol!" Donnie called back.
"Okay! See you in a bit!"

Raphael was reading his comic book, when he heard a soft knock on his door.
"Come in!" He called, putting his comic down. Of course, it was Mona. She came in, and closed the door with her back facing Raph. He blushed looking at her beautiful figure. When she faced him, he shook it off.
"How are you feeling?"
"I don't know. Okay, I guess."
"If you need something, let me know. Okay?" Raphael nodded, and her a small smile.
"I have something for you," she said.
"You do?" He sat up on his bed. Mona Lisa nodded. "Close your eyes."
Raphael closed his emerald, green eyes. Mona then gently placed the red cloth she was holding onto around his eyes, and tied it at the back of his head in a cube-ish knot. "Okay, you can open!" Mona said, smiling.
Raphael opened his eyes again. He felt around his eyes, to feel his mask! He looked at her and smiled. "Th-thank you," he said.
"You're welcome!" Lisa smiled back. Raphael blushed a little bit, but shook it off. 'Why can't you tell her!?'
***
An hour went by. The guys came back from their patrol at around 7:30am. Raphael didn't want to go because well... He wasn't feeling right. He felt a bit better when his brothers came in.
"Hey, guys!" Mona Lisa greeted them with a warm smile. They settled in.
"I'll be making breakfast!" Mikey called, and ran to the kitchen. Donatello went to his lab, and Leo sat on the couch. Jamie was still recovering from the incident.
"How come Raph didn't want to come on patrol?" Leo suddenly asked.
"I think he's feeling a little sick. He stayed in his room the whole time. I heard a few groans, but I don't know."
"Hey, Mikey!? How have you been doing with breakfast?" Leo asked, changing the subject.
"Great! Scrambled eggs with some cheese and ham sprinkled all over. Can't forget to mention the onions!" Mikey replied, excitedly. "Come on in!" He laid out the eggs. Everyone came into the kitchen. Raphael sat across, diagonally from Mona Lisa. Everyone started eating. Raph poked his eggs, then stabbed them with his fork and put the chunk in his mouth. His eyes started to widen, and water. He looked at Mikey, who had an evilly looking grin on his face.
"H-hot!" Raphael fanned his hands at his face and went to the sing to get a glass of water. He chugged it. Mikey laughed. Mona Lisa looked at Mikey, who was laughing hysterically. "Gotcha, Raph!" He said, laughing. Mikey looked to see that Mona was giving him a stern look. "Here. I got you an extra plate. I promise there's no hot sauce this time. I'll take yours." He switched the plates.
"I'll get Leo so he knows that breakfast is ready," Mona said, as she headed for the dojo.
Mikey looked at Raph. "Dude, I promise that there's no hot sauce!" He assured. Raph stabbed at the eggs and put the fork in his mouth. He chewed them then swallowed them. "See, what'd I tell ya?" Mikey asked, sitting down next to Raphael, eating his own eggs and bacon.
Mona Lisa looked at her friends. 'This feels like... Family,' she thought. Memories flashed back in her mind. Her and her parents eating together laughing, Christmas holidays, the joy and fun they had. Until one day when-
Mona started tearing up. Raph looked up, with the last bit of his eggs in his cheeks. "You okay, Mona?" He wondered. Lisa looked at him, crying. "Mona?" She ran out of the kitchen and out the lair.
"Mona, wait!" Raphael pushed back his chair. It screeched and he ran after her.
Mona kept running out of the lair and into the city. She climbed. A building and hid there. Raph followed closely.  "Mona Lisa?" He asked worriedly, looking around. Mona kept quiet going deeper in her hiding place, not wanting to be seen. Raph heard her movement behind a brick wall and quietly walked over to her. He touched her back. Mona flinched and turned around fast. She looked at Raphael, scared. "Mona? Mona Lisa, what's wrong?" He asked gently. She silently sat in the shadow. He frowned. "Come on, you can tell me," he sat next to her. He had worry in his eyes.
Mona Lisa took a deep breath. "I've experienced some.. Crazy scary events in my life," Mona began to shake a little.
He rubbed her back. "Me too."
"No. Y-You don't understand."
"Why not?"
"Because I've had so many that their marked into my mind. Trapped and can't get out," she edged closer to Raphael for warmth, and put her soft hand on the collar of his shell. He hugged her gently. "I don't think that anyone else has that. Plus, there's no one I can trust about this type of thing."
"Mona, have you even met me?" Raph asked, looking at himself. "I've been through so much these past weeks. I've got a lot, and I mean a LOT of issues trusting people. You've helped me through so much. I've built a trust around you."
"I know what you've been through cause I was there, but there has been terrifying moments in my life from when I was a little girl that still haunt me! They happened when I had nobody." Mona Lisa wrapped her arms around her knees, and rested her forehead. Raphael frowned and pulled her into another hug. "Nobody has ever understood me, and no one ever will," Mona said, still hugging Raph.
Just then,Raph's eyes widened,him having a flashback.
***
The sound of a large thud and crying echoed in his mind. A dumpster was shaking and thuds were heard. It was little 4 year old Raph. A few thugs snatched him up and did this to him. Fortunately, they couldn't tell what or who he was because of how dark it was. Raph sobbed, injured horribly and banging on the dumpster, the dumpster lid locked and held shut.
"Let's take him to the expert. See if he wants to do anything to him," one of the workers said, holding Raphael tightly. Raph cried and screamed, struggling. "Oh calm down, young one! You won't be hurt one bit!" Young Raphael tried to get out of the man's grasp. The men brought the young turtle into a building. They put Raph in a cage. Unexpectedly soon. the lights turned off. A swish sound entered the room.
"Huh?" Raph looked around.
"Who's there!?" The men separated and looked around the room.
There was a little knock on the cage. He looked up at the direction of the knock. Tears ran down his face. The lock on Raph's cage started to giggle. Then the door opened, and a familiar hand reached in and grabbed Raphael. "D-Daddy!" Raph exclaimed, sobbing softly.
The hand that grabbed Raph belonged to Splinter, who didn't say anything. He put his son in his arms, and swished off into the city. The lights turned on. He looked up his father, eyelid slashed deeply with scratches. Splinter looked at his son, who was injured. "It'll be alright, Raphael," his name echoed.
-----
"Raphael? Raphael, RAPHAEL!?" Mona Lisa was still trying to shake him into reality. Raph snapped out of it. He screamed and fell back into the wall, his eyes were widened.
"You, okay?" Mona asked. She ran up to him and held out her hand.
He panted heavily, looking at her. "W-What happened?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing. What happened?"
"I don't know," Raph looked at her. Mona looked back at him. "We should get back to the lair," she suggested, helping him up. Raph rubbed his head and stood up. He smiled at her and they went home.
