Finding Donnie and loosing him(Chapter 3)
I updated!! This one is really long!! For me well.... I hope you like it!!
Pain, that in one word is what I felt. I found curling my wings over my shell was the best way to hold them. My new gills were weird, occasionally one of Shredder's hench men would in to change my water, I was a fish. The words sounded so wrong, I was too scared to let them slip out my mouth. Bird, from my wings I concluded I was a Bueto playtptures or Broad Winged Hawk. My turtle features were still strong, feet barely changed, still large, but small claws came off my toes which were slightly thinner. The feathers on my shoulders were dark brown, blending into my thinner,lighter green skin. Some parts of my fingers were in chips, scales. Leading to my webbed hands. The underwings were white. Some part of me longed to be free, the sky, I needed a small fresh water pond... Rahzar placed a mirror in my cell, just to see how much of a freak I was...
Karai walked into my cell, she held a largish water container, I nodded and took in a large breath of water.
"In India,Oscar will tango while playing golf in a hotel in November." The words slipped from her mouth. I frowned. It made no sense, course it didn't... A code! I smiled at the snake mutant, her brown eyes glinted. Once she left a felt free to 'breathe' in the water. Right, so a word code. I replayed the words... India, tango, hotel... Phonetic alphabet! India, was I... Oscar O, tango T, golf G, hotel H, November N...
"What...?" I asked out loud..
"What,What?" Rahzar asked. I bit back my lip.
"What... What's going to happen to me?" I asked. Rahzar laughed.
"That doesn't matter, you won't live much longer..." The words hit me... I didn't want to die, not yet. So many things I wanted to make... Keep back on track, it'll be alright. No it wasn't.
Hmmm.... I racked my brain, good thing I didn't become dumber because of my mutation. Tonight!! Yes!! It made sense, although one T, probably couldn't fit in another tango, I remember I forced Leo to learn it in case we needed to send out messages. So he actually remembered...
Tonight, that seemed forever away, and my day torture was still coming. Just a few hours you can make it through that. Come on. I could, but that wasn't the end... I always viewed myself a realist, looking back I was really optimistic thinking they would come and save me. Thinking I'd be alright...
Screams echoed as I banged on the cage.
"Please." My legs broke under me, I felt my body drop. Fish Face grinned, stabbing the taser into my plastron. Electricity surged through. I spat out my water tube, that was dangerous. At the time it seemed a smart idea, it was horrible. Water, air I needed it. The red mutant laughed.
"I don't think you deserve this back." My sight blurred as I clawed at him. Black dots.
"Give it back, this isn't the worst." Rahzar shrugged, his claws ripped open my mouth to stuff it in. Don't let the tears come, can't let them fall...
*******************
I hunched in the corner, trying to regain my breath. No light, I couldn't see how long my family would take.
"Shh," Leo hissed. "Karai said he'd be around here some where." My heart lifted. They came, I was going to be alright.
"Dude, there's a shadow of there"
Mikey whispered. My ears told me above me, yes they were close.
"Raph you go." Leo whispered.
"No, I ain't asking some stranger if he's seen our brother. My wings were folded over me, they probably thought I was a mutant bird.
"He is here," I said loudly. They hopped down. "If your looking for Donatello."
"Um," Leo asked. "Do you mind telling us where?" I drew in a breath, that just proved it. I was so freaked up my own brothers couldn't recolonise me. My mouth felt dry.
"You're looking at him." The sob was hard to hold back. Leo's face broke.
"Oh... Donnie, what did they do to you?" He and Raph knelt down, allowing me to put my arms around there shoulders. I couldn't hold myself, I just allowed myself to fall into my older brothers arms. Raph smiled at me. Pity, I could see it. There eyes shone with it.
"They... They tripled mutated me." My wings ached so I pulled them out, every bone stretching far as possible.
"Woah!" Mikey shouted.
"Turtle, bird." Leo counted off my animal parts.
"Fish." I finished, showing my webbed hands in the small lights.
"You'll need a new mutant name!" Mikey said excitingly. I shook my head.
"Or I can just stay with my old name?" I moaned, my legs were too weak to run. I felt Raph lift me up and take me to the back of his shell.
"Its alright bro'" Raph whispered. I nodded into his shell.
Once we got into the Shell Razor Raph set me on my chair.
"So what should you be?" Mikey asked excitingly. "Super..." He grinned.
"I don't want a new name!" I shouted, Mikey jumped.
"I'm... I'm sorry dude." Mikey sunk into his chair. My heart flipped.
"I'm sorry Mikey," I muttered. Raph's face was pale. "Look, truthfully I'm scared. That escape, it was too easy. I mean it's Shredder! I don't know which reality you've been living in but... I..." All three sets of eyes were set on me. "I just can't take this." I bowed my head. They knew the truth now.
"Its alright D!" Mikey smiled, putting an arm around me, I could feel my feather ends dig into me. "You don't need a new name! It's just tradition, and I thought you'd want to!" He explained. He was trying, he really was. I could hear it in his tone. But cheering me up wasn't going to happen easily...
When we got back I slipped to my room.
"I just need space." I pleaded. Leo nodded. "Sure"
"I'll bring dinner in later? What you want on your pizza?" Mikey asked. Leo must of read my pleading look. "How about you make something simple Mikey? And I think some clean water," Leo smiled, nudging my tube.
"Yeah I'll need to upgrade this." I turned around.
"Donnie!" Raph shouted. I gave a silent annoyed sigh.
"Yeah?" I asked quietly, his hand gripped my shoulder tightly.
"We're here for you bro'.' He promised. I nodded.
"OK." my voice came out a scared whisper. Raph's eyes were relaxed and attempting comfort. I allowed a smile to slip.
"Don't stay in your room forever." Leo smiled, he waved me off.
Three days.
It was peaceful, but painful. Waterbottles were placed outside
my door.
"I don't know how much you'll need." Leo explained nervously. I grinned.
"It's alright." I promised, taking the liquid to my bedroom.
"Sensei, wants to speak to you." He said. I flinched, Master Splinter? I drew in a breath of water, my gills absorbed the oxygen. I smiled as my new organs relaxed, half of me wanted to cut me up to see my new body make up, no more lungs...
"Only became it's Master Splinter." I said slowly, Leo smiled.
"Yeah, he won't bite." He laughed. I rolled my eyes.
"Its only been 2 weeks since I've seen him I'm not going to forget that." I stumbled out.
"Donatello." Splinter greeted me. His arm reached out, placing a paw on my curled wings. His eyes scanned my change.
"Father?" I asked. Splinter hid his face.
"Donatello, Leonardo informed me of what happened under Shredder's custody. I bowed.
"Hai sensei." Splinter studied my face. For once I didn't try to hide it, Splinter was the one person I still really trusted. Yesterday I over heard Leo and Raph talk about Casey and April. They were at the farm house together, dating... Mikey was trying to keep me happy, Raph tried to help, but he wasn't the best person you'd go to after an experience like the one I'd felt... Leo kept his distance, lucky.
"You have been keeping distant from us," I nodded "we're your family, you cannot ever forget that," I said nothing. "That is why I want you to go on patrol with your brothers tonight."
"No!! No disrespect sensei but I can't! I'm too weak! I'll get pumled in a fight."
"I did not say you had to fight, I simply said to join them, and you have to spend the rest of the day with them." I frowned, generally I'd be fine with that, it would be Raph complaining and growling about some excuse or another.
"Hai." I said reluctantly, bowing.
*********************
So that's the story of how I found myself sitting on the floor of the lounge room, my wings half spread out. Mikey pulled some board games out, laying it on a table Leo found in the sewers yesterday. It had a light scratched pink coat, legs had several chips into it. I smiled.
"What we playing?" I asked, Splinter's words rushed over me, this was my family.
"Monopoly, Cluedo, Panic um... Scrabble."
"Aww we all know who wins those games." Leo laughed groaned. I allowed a smile.
"It's really easy, it just one word. Strategy."
"That, and Mikey's really easy to bribe." Raph laughed.
"I am not!!" Mikey protested.
"Fine, you can't have this entire pepperoni, jellybean and jalapeño pizza to yourself if you give me your first monopoly." Raph smiled.
"Really?!" Mikey grinned.
"No! Raph, just play, I'll deal the money." Leo gave his I'm the leader better listen to me look.
"You do it too Leo." Raph grumbled, picking up his piece in his hands.
"Yeah, but I do it in a more strategical way, Donnie too." Leo admitted in a low voice.
"Seriously dude?!" Mikey shouted as I layer down my three sets. "How?! Every time!! Not fair." Mikey kicked his money across the floor.
"Hey! Getting angry for no reason is my thing!" Raph growled, slamming a foot into the table. Splinters flew lightly off. Leo bit back his lip.
"Or you guys can just forget the fact that Donnie is seriously smarter than everyone here." He shrugged, if I wasn't as smart as I was I would've thought they lost to make me feel better.
"That's not a word!" Mikey shouted, coming into the room, green cup cakes on a tray.
"Is that edible?" Raph asked in disgust.
"I don't know? But that word does not exist." He looked at my word spelled across the Scrabble. I smiled. "Yeah it is."
"That shouldn't be allowed! Not long words!" Mikey placed down the food.
"Just leave it alone, it's English, not Japanese." He looked at Leo, who earlier decided to write Kame, the Japanese word for turtle. Leo rolled his eyes.
"What ever, just like Raph said let's keep playing... That'll be twenty-three points... Yep another high number from Don." Leo muttered, marking down the paper.
"Donnie take a cup cake!" Mikey demanded, shoving the horribly decorated 'cake' at my face.
"Um, does a spew bag come with this?" I asked, giving a light smile. Leo smiled back.
"Year sure I'll go check?" He pretended to stand up.
"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Mikey shouted, angry blush coveted his cheeks.
"I'm just kidding." I said gently, trying to get rid of my smile. "So when's April and Casey getting home?" I asked, pulling up facial muscles.
"Oh... You heard that?" Leo looked scared. "I'm sorry, we should of told you... I guess." Leo struggled to think what to speak.
"It doesn't matter." I said impatiently, try to hide it. Don't see my face. I curled my wings up, dropping my head down.
"Donnie?" Raph asked.
"I'll be fine! Its just a girl." I growled.
"No its not," Leo lightly messaged the top bend of my wings which felt soothing.
"Yeah D, you deserve way better than April." Raph smiled.
"She won't even like me now, I'm a freak of nature." I muttered.
"No your not!" Mikey shouted immediately. Leo and Raph looked at me confused.
"Why would you say that? You never said that before?" Raph frowned.
"That's be cause it didn't matter before, least I looked like something, now I look like some experiment gone wrong, only its not..." I trailed off.
"Your Not A Freak," Mikey said firmly looking me straight in the eye. "Call yourself that and I'll slap you." He said.
"Why?! I am?! I..." I was cut off from a slap across the cheek. "Hey!"
"Donnie please, we want to help," Leo begged. "And we can't do that with out you. Your my little brother, I love you." He said. I nodded. His words hit, I wasn't helping them. Even Raph was mostly keeping in his temper.
"Sorry." I sobbed.
"Look it doesn't matter bro' time for patrol," Leo said confidently.
"Just remember no matter what, we have your back."
"And your shell, and wings." Mikey laughed.
"Yeah..." I backed away as Mikey tried to hug me.
"That's enough for Donnie for the day." Raph roughly grabbed the ends of Mikey's mask.
"What ever!" Leo shouted, tackle hugging all of us. "I love you little brothers!"
Aww our babies!! Yay Donnie's alright!!... Sort of...hehe Leo, poor Don!! Apriltello's gone!! Yes!! Burn in shell stupid half canon!!
