"It should've been me!" Mona sat down. She planted her face into her hands and cried.
"I'm... I'm so sorry," Jamie bent down next to her. "This is all my fault!"
Mikey started to cry. "Raph..." Leo looked down. Ashes and rubble were burning to the ground. Soon the fire burned out, and everyone was still there. Looking into the burned building.
"Come on, guys. Lets go," Mona said, starting to leave. The others started to also, but not Mikey. Something caught his eye in the pit of ashes. "You coming, Mikey?" Jamie wondered.
"In a minute," he replied. "Hey,  D! I need you to come with me for a minute!" Mikey started for the pile of ashes. Donnie raised an eye brow, but shrugged and followed him. "Coming!"

Leo returned the girls to the lair, and told Splinter what happened.
"Then... The building blew up with- him inside," he explained.
***
Splinter frowned and looked down at the floor. He shut his eyes tightly. "I-I see..." He mumbled.
"W-we also brought with another friend. She was a worker for Doer, but she can be trusted.
***
Panting. Running to the lair.
"Come on, D!"
"I'm going as fast as I can!"
~Pitter patter, pitter patter~

"Mikey and Donnie stayed at the flames for a little. I don't know when they'll be back." Leonardo finished explaining. He sighed a frown, then went to go sit down on the couch next to Jamie. Suddenly, they hears feet pattering against the ground.
~Pitter patter, pitter patter~
"G-guys! Sensei!" Mikey was panting, running into the lair. Leo, Jamie, and Mona all flinched around. "What is it, Mikey?"
"Th... The reason why I stayed back was because... I saw something moving in the... ashes!" He panted, holding his knees to catch his breath.
"I'll get you some water," Sensei walked into the kitchen.
"Where's Donnie?" Mona wondered.
"He's... coming. He told me to run ahead to say something to you."
"What!?"
"It's Raph! He's alive!" Mikey said excitedly. The others looked at him in shock.
"W-what!? H-how!?" Mona exclaimed.
"But we saw the building explode with him inside it," Leo added in. "How is it possible?"
~Pitter patter, pitter patter~
Donatello came in just then. He had his arms wrapped around his shell, with his staff holding something or- someone on his back. Another pair of arms was holding onto Donnie's neck.
"Raph!" Excitedly expressions was on everyone's face. Especially Mona's. They all ran to Donatello to help him with injured Raphael.
"Raph needs medical attention for his wounds," he explained. "I'll get right on that. Set him in my lab."
Leo took his brother and placed him gently on the lab as told. Raphael's stomach went up and down, showing that he was still breathing, but unconscious. Splinter came back in the living room of the lair to give Michelangelo and Donatello some water. Mikey drank his, and so did Donnie.
"I need some cloths and some water!" He instructed. Jamie nodded and went into the kitchen with Leo. Mona went to kneel down next to sleepy Raphael on the lab table. A blanket was on the ground next to her and she gently slid it on top of Raph. She tilted her head as she smoothed the blanket, did a small sigh and smiled. 'I'm glad you're alright!" She thought to herself.
Leo and Jamie came back with wet cloths. They gave them to Donatello and he dabbed them gently on Raphael's scratched wounds.
"A little dabbing here should do the trick," he said, then noticed a small gash on his head. Donnie looked at Mona. "Could you dab this on his head wound?" He asked.
"Hm? Oh, yeah! Of course!" She took the cloth and gently dabbed it on the small gash. Her hands then rubbed it on Raph's head. She sighed another smile. "I'm so glad your alive!" She whispered to herself. Mona gave Raphael a small peck on his cheek.
In the living room, Jamie sat down next to Mike and Leo on couch.
"Alright, Mikey," she said. "How did you know that Raphael was still alive?"
Michelangelo sighed. "Well... Like I said, I saw him in the ashes...
***
Panting heavily. Struggling to get up, but failed.
'Weak... Idiotic...' Doer's words echoed through his mind. Soon, there was a sudden patter.
~Pitter patter, pitter patter~
Mikey ran into the burned down building, with Donnie behind him.
"I know he isn't dead!" He told Donnie. "I saw movement around here!" His eyes couldn't see who it was, because of the ashes and heat making his sight go blurry. Tall and short figures were all he could see.
"M-Mikey? Donnie?" Blackness filled his eyesight.
***
"That's what happened," Mikey finished the explanation. He sighed with relief.
"I'm just... Speechless! He's okay!" Jamie said excitedly. That excitement didn't last long.
