Donatello sat alone at his computer deep in thought not realizing he was talking out loud.
"Intelligent, friendly, loyal, helpful, and invisible...
Invisible...
My wonderful brother wouldn't like to hear me say such things, but in my heart I know it's true. I am invisible to them, insignificant, nothing but a fixer. A simple machine located in the background, that's good for nothing but rudimentary task.
I never was that good at the whole ninja thing. No mater how hard I tried, or how much I practiced I could never come close to matching their outstanding skills.
I've contemplated running away before.
They don't really need me after all. If something breaks they can always take it to April. She should be able to fix it. Besides they probably wouldn't even notice that I left, at least not until something was broken.
Maybe they would miss me, surely father would. But then again maybe not, even he knows my lack of skills and of form in the dojo. That's why I have the bo, isn't it? At least that's what Raph said the day we were given our weapons.
Leo would be mad at me for leaving the clan. But I think he'd get over it, they'd be better off without me anyway.
Micky might miss me more than the others. We sort of hung out...well...we used to.
If Leo would be mad than Raph would be livid, not because I left, but because I did it before him...
Yes, I've contemplated it many times... And at one point even truly considered it. But I know what the world, what they, would be like if I left... I could never deal with that...
Knowing that they would fall apart without my presents, even if I can't believe, I wont let it happen.
So I guess I'm left being nothing more than invisible... Unheard. Unseen. Alone within my family."
Donnie let out a sigh as he started typing a new algorithm onto his computer
"You're not," There they stood the visible family...
