Painful Looks

Raphael walked into his room, staring at his mirror. He looked at his self and looked down at his arm. He unraveled bandages that were wrapped around his upper bicep. There was three large stitches and a small red dot marked on his skin as if he was injected with some liquid. Raph remembered Doer injecting him with something in the fire before Doer's death. He growled,clenching his fist. A bruise surrounded the injected area. Mona Lisa knocked on Raphael's door before entering. 'It's polite to knock first rather than walking right in,' she thought. Raphael heard and quickly wrapped his wound back up.
"May I come in?" A soft voice asked him.
"U-Uh... Yeah." Raph stuttered. Mona walked in slowly and closed the door behind her, then she sat on his bed beside him. "You okay?" She wondered.
Raph nodded, rubbing his bandages. He noticed that it started to get warmer in his room. He tugged at his shell a little bit, and started to sweat.
"Well, there's left over pizza and pizza gyoza in the fridge, just so you know," Mona informed.
"Uh, okay. Thanks," he felt sweat run down. "Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just me?"
"Mm, no. Not really," she answered. "Or to me that is. I think it's just you."
"Damn, why is it so warm in here?" Raphael mumbled.
"Well, I just wanted you to know that there's food in the fridge for you. Since you didn't eat dinner last night. I made sure that Mikey wouldn't eat it," she winked. "See you later." Mona started to leave. Raph looked at her and stood up, but he felt woozy and stumbled forward.
"Whoa! You okay there, Raphael?" Mona quickly went to him. She caught him before he fell. "I-I don't feel so good..." He said. His head began to hurt.
"Do you need space? Cause I could leave. It is a pretty small room."
"G-Get me to the couch," Raph said, being helped up.
"Alright!" Mona Lisa grabbed Raph and helped walk to the couch in the main room. He leaned on her shoulder while walking, as if his leg was broken, but it wasn't. He just needed the support.
Raph held his head and laid on the couch, placing a pillow under his head. Mona looked at him. "Do you need anything?" She wondered.
"W-Water please." Mona got up and went into the kitchen to get some water. She came back and gave it to Raphael. Raph drank all of it in at least fifteen seconds.
"Whoa there. Don't drink it too fast, or you'll get the hiccups!" Raphael hiccuped and groaned, sneezing. It was a tight sneeze. Donnie walked out of the lab. "What's going on?" He wondered.
"Raph just has the hiccups, Don," Mona informed. "How are you today?"
"Pretty good, I guess."
"Well that's good. Hey, I'm going to check how Jamie's doing. Be back in a bit!" She walked to Jamie's room.
"Bye..." Donnie said.
*Two weeks later*
There was a knock at April's door. April opened it and saw the guys,Jamie,and Casey. Only two of the guys though. "Uh, hey guys. What's up?"
They looked like they were all geared up. "There was a mutant outbreak with Bebop and Rocksteady. They're running around destroying stuff so we gotta handle that. Only there's one problem," Casey said, looking back. Everyone stepped out of the way. There stood a sick Raphael, being helped by Mona Lisa and Mikey. He sneezed a tight, loud sneeze, then wiped his nose with a tissue he had in his hand.
"Raphael is sick," Mona started. "He has been for the last two weeks. Now that there's a mutant outbreak, we needed a place for him to stay since he's in really bad shape."
"So your asking me to turtle-sit?" April asked.
"Well, just to look after him until he feels better?" Mikey replied, nervously.
"You won't be alone. I haven't done much training to fight, and I don't know who this Bebop and Rocksteady is, but I may be some help with Raphael."
"Alright. Thanks, Mona." April gave her a warm smile. Raph did another tight sneeze. He stumbled a little on Mikey and Mona's shoulders. "Easy, Raph," Mikey said, cautiously.
"No problem, and thank you as well," she said. Mikey left Raph on Mona's shoulders, and April helped her carry him inside. Raphael sneezed loudly again. "Easy there, Raphael," Mona gestured. He coughed. "Sorry."
"It's okay. Here, let's lay him on the couch here, April." Raph was laid down and covered up with a blanket. "Hey, April?" Mona looked at her. "Do you have an ice pack?" She wondered.
"Yeah. In the fridge." She replied. She fluffed Raphael's pillows, and gently pulled up the blanket more on him to his neck. "Thanks," Mona went to the freezer to get an ice pack. She got it and went to nurse Raphael, but Raphael was already out cold.
"Whao, Raph! You're freezing!" She exclaimed.
"I am?" He asked, tired.
Mona nodded. "Mhm. As soon as I put the ice pack on you, you got really cold!"
"Really?" Raphael shivered. "I-I see what you mean."
"You should get some rest," Mona suggested. She decided to tuck Raph in more with the blanket that was covering his body.
"We should leave him alone now, Mona," April suggested. She got up and left the room.
An hour later, the power goes out.
"Great! Just when we were making dinner." Mona protested. A scream was heard from the main room. Mona and April ran into the room where they heard the scream and looked around the room.
Raphael was on the ground, clutching his bandaged upper bicep. The blanket laid on the ground next to him as well as a shattered lamp. "Raph!? What happened!?" Mona asked worriedly shocked.  She ran to him and bent down to his level.
"T-The cuts on my arm! T-they hurt like shell all of the sudden! Burning an-" A small crashed was heard from downstairs. "What is going on here!?" Mona wondered, angrily. She started for downstairs. "April? Could you look after Raph? I'm checking downstairs." April went down with her. "He can probably handle himself." They both disappear into the basement.
***
Raphael growled and moaned, looking at his arm, which grew very muscular. He yelled in pain, not very loud. His other arm and legs became muscular as well.
"Okay, let's see what we have here," Mona said, curiously. She headed for the basement, with April following behind. Mona Lisa and April turned on a flashlight that they found and looked around the basement.
"Whoa!" Mona exclaimed. "April, you have your own lab!?"
"Oh well, uh... It's my dad's actually. He's a scientist."
"Cool! So, what do you think did the noise?"
"I have no idea. A mysterious mutant maybe?"
"To create a small noise? I don't think so. Maybe something broke."
A roar was heard upstairs.
Mona Lisa flinched around and looked up the stairs, scared. "Okay. What. Was. That!?" She said, shaking.
"I-I don't know," April said. She started to slowly walk up the stairs, but stopped.
"Come on! It's not like the what ever the "surprise" is is going to come out first!" They continued on. 
April ran back up the stairs and shined the flashlight in the kitchen. She gasped, covering her mouth. Mona quickly ran up the stair and shut the door behind her. She then ran over to April who was just staring at the kitchen.
"April, what're you-" Mona started to say, but she saw what April was looking at and gasped as well.
Raphael was in the light, looking deformed and hideous. "H-Help.. Me..." He said in a raspy, dark, and monstrous voice.
Mona sprinted to action. "April, come on!" She insisted, but April hesitated.
"No... STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Raph roared, running past them.
"But... you just said to help you-" Mona started to say, getting closer to him again holding out her hand, palm facing down, but was shocked for what was about to happen next.
Raphael roared and pushed her out of the way, running into the basement. Mona crashed into the wall on her side, leaving a big pain and landed on the floor on her stomach. She struggled to get up, but the first time she tried, she couldn't. She could the second time. Mona stood up and grabbed her arm. April ran to help her. "You okay?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine.." Mona got up and went downstairs with April. "What's. Going. On!?" Mona whispered a question, panting. April shined a light around the basement. Mona Lisa looked around, then saw a read eye glance. A cold deep glance that there was no getting out of. Mona kept staring at the stare. 'Why can't I move?' She thought. Red beady eyes stared into her soul. Mona tried to not look at the stare, but it was useless. She fainted. Blackness filled her eyesight. "Help" was the last word she heard.
"Mona Lisa!" April exclaimed and hugged her tightly and protectively. Raph had transformed into a lizard/alligator/turtle hybrid. He roared ferociously.
