Okay, so this was actually the first fanfic I ever started writing. I haven't finished it yet, but I thought I would publish the first chapter to see if there's any interest. Takes place right after the Mutation Situation. Enjoy.
Chapter 1- Leonardo
"Leo. Leo. Leo! Wake up!" A voice, a familiar one, cuts through the fog in my brain. I groan, not wanting to come to my senses, because I know I'll feel pain. But I hear the voice again, urgent and filled with concern, and I struggle to the surface and open my eyes.
I see my brothers standing over me, a cocktail of emotions on their faces. Concern, relief, and... wariness?
"What... happened?" I ask, hating that my voice is so weak. Every part of my body aches, and I feel... off. Different.
Donnie lets out a sigh of relief. "There was an explosion in my lab. You were the only one nearby, so the rest of us are fine, but..." he trails off, looking worried and afraid. Of me?
"But... what?" I wonder, not sure if I want Donnie to finish. I look at Raph and see concern and only a flicker of his usual rage. I turn to Mikey and see worry, curiosity, and... excitement?
"But what?" I ask again with more force.
Donnie takes a deep breath. "The explosion was caused by some chemicals that spilled into my retro-mutagen. Some of it...got...on you."
"What?" What does Donnie mean, 'Some of it got on me'? I can't understand his words. It's as if he's speaking another language.
"The retro-mutegen." Donnie repeats nervously. "It sort of went everywhere. By the time we reached you..."
His words finally penetrate my daze.
"What...What...What am I?" I ask. I'm obviously not a turtle, like, a real one. So what am I?
Mikey smiles hesitantly, they all do, and Raph says, "Leo, you're... you're..."
"HUMAN" my brothers chorus.
Sorry it's so short, but I'm going to start a new chapter everytime it switches POV's, or when i feel like it's a good cutoff point. So review, tell me what you think, what I van do better (especially what I can do better) and I'll do what I can. I'm going to be rewriting what I have so far, because I think I can do better, so your input will be noted, appreciated, and maybe even used if I like it!
Happy reading/writing, fellow dorks!
