*Searches through endless files and papers looking for my owner ship papers. Finds them* Haha! Says so right here! I am owner of... *Reads through once again* *Sighs* A piece of gum was hiding it. This document clearly states that I don't own TMNT.
Donatello searched amongst the junk yard, looking for any piece of equipment that could be fixed, worked on, or even used. But, unfortunately, he wasn't having much luck. He had found some spare metal parts and wiring, but that was about all.
He sighed. He wasn't getting any closer to making more retromutagen or an antadote for Karai, and, quite frankly, he was getting ticked off. At times he wanted to scream, punch, yell. And at others he wanted to cry and give up.
But this was too important to Sensei and Leo. Too important indeed. With Karai being Splinter's daughter and Leo having a bit of a crush on her as well. But these overwhelming thoughts didn't help Don in the least.
So, here he was, in the midst of midnight, looking for mutagen, metals, wires, or just anything usable. But to no avail.
Suddenly, he heard a gun shot. On instinct he took out his bo staff and whirled around...to find no one. He could faintly hear muffled voices and followed them. It didn't take long to find the source of the voices, but he was soon lead to a scene he'd never thought he'd ever see in his life.
A young boy, no older than sixteen, looked frightened as a street light lit up his jet black hair. Donatello could clearly see the fear built in the boy's blue eyes. Then there were two adults. A woman and a man.
The woman had black hair and green eyes. The man had brown hair and blue eyes. They were holding a baby, no older than four months, and had a gun pointed at the boy.
"Don't do this! She's too young! You can kill me, that's fine! But don't make her suffer! What has she ever done to you! She's two years old for Heaven's sake! I had to name her and feed her what little food we had because you both decided to go off and spend your money on beer!
"If you didn't even want another child, let alone me, why did you two even decide to do something as stupid as that?! The nerve of you both! I swear if I was old enough I'd take Digital and we'd live as far away from you both as possible!" The young boy sounded furious. Wrathful even.
Another gun shot. Donatello already knew what had happened, but had decided to not dare to even look.
But he had to. He needed to figure out what was going to happen to the baby. Digital, was it?
Slowly, he looked up from the safety of his junk pile and watched as the adults put the baby on the ground. They raised the gun and began to pull the trigger...but froze. They appeared to have ear pieces in their ears where it appeared that they had gotten a message. Then they just up and left.
Don knealt down next to the now crying toddler and looked at her. She was dangerously skinny, and had a silver chain around her neck. But this was no ordinary chain. At the end, a heart shaped charm was open with a photo of the toddler and her apparent brother.
Donnie could feel a tear slip from his eye, but now was not the time for crying. No. Now was the time to figure out what he was to do. Another chain was around her neck. Much like an Army man's dog tag. It had her name.
'Digital Shy Harmony'
It was a beautiful name yet a bit unique. But Donatello couldn't judge off of something so basic. Not when he himself was a gigantic turtle. She began to cry, nothing too loud. Donnie picked her up out of the car seat and held her in his strong arms. Rather quickly, Digital's crying ceased.
He couldn't just leave the poor thing here. She'd die of starvation. Donnie would make sure that never happened. The sound of police sirens came into Donatello's hearing range and he knew that they had to get out of there. He placed Digital back in her car seat and picked it up.
He ran to the nearest manhole cover and struggled to get them both in there, but somehow managed. He began to run to the lair in hopes Splinter would understand. But he felt that this was going to be a long night.
Let me know if I should continue. I really like this Digital character! Did you like it, love it, hate it? Let me know. Your opinion matters. :)
