Disclaimer: "opens mailbox" no…just my plot and the OCs

Chapter 2: An Interview

"Mr. Hamato, am I correct in saying that you began developing the compact-hydro engine as early as your fifteenth year?" a woman asked.

"That is correct," Don replied, "I actually started laying the grid works for it, unintentionally, when I was ten. We grew up on the streets and it gets cold in New York in the winter."

A couple people chuckled.

"Tell me about your family, we really don't know a lot about them," the woman asked.

"Well, I'm the 'middle child' so to speak, even though there isn't a true middle for four," Don started.

The woman smiled and the others chuckled.

"Leonardo, or Leo as he goes by, is as we say our 'fearless leader', he works for NY S.W.A.T., our father taught us Ninjitsu from the time we could crawl. Leo is a master swordsman and he often would protect us from any punk that would try to mess with us, here's a picture of him," Don added, gesturing toward the screen behind them.

A picture of Leo in full uniform appeared on screen, fierce silver-grey eyes measuring the viewers.

"He looks fearless for sure," the woman laughed.

"Trust me, you don't want him ticked off at you," Don laughed, "He's serious as hell most of the time but he can put our youngest brother to shame in pranks when he wants to. The next brother down in Raphael or Raph, even Raphie, though he hates it when we call him that," Don continued.

The crowd laughed. Don looked straight at the screen

"Leo don't let 'im kill me for that," Don said. The crowd laughed again.

"Raph is our protector and 'secret weapon' as Mikey likes to call him. Raph's got a short fuse and an extremely explosive temper. If you get Leo mad its one thing, you get Raph mad enough to consider you a threat, and you might as well have signed your death wish. Where Leo did his best to keep the punks away from us Raph beat the snot out of the ones that managed to pick on Mikey and I. They never messed with us again."

The crowd chuckled. A picture of Raph appeared on screen. He was leaned over on his motorcycle, shirtless, his tattoo clearly visible. In one hand was his Sai, held almost casually, the other Sai was shoved in his belt.

"I guess I'll stay away from him then," the woman laughed. Don chuckled.

"Both Raph and Leo are married. Raph is recently become a father to twins, Jade and Jaden. Their mother Joanna, is just as rough around the edges as Raph is, and the rest of us are honestly fearing for the world right now," Don laughed, "Leo is happily married to Jane and they are expecting their first, still to early to tell if I'm going to have a niece or nephew."

A few people smiled in the crowd and the woman "awed" softly.

"The youngest of the four of us is Michaelangelo, or Mikey, or Mike when he ticks off Leo," Don continued as a picture of Mikey playing a video game appeared screen.

A couple people laughed.

"He's the baby of the family and it shows," Don laughed, "we all are rather protective of him but he can hold his own in a fight, as we all can. He literally plays video games for a career, and we all figured somehow he would end up doing that."

"So this is your whole family? You don't have anyone special?" the woman asked.

"Oh I do, This is my fiancée Lilly Ush," Don said as he stood up, holing out a hand for Lilly to take as she came on stage. Her light brown hair hanging in curly waves and she was wearing a simple but elegant sundress of pale lavender and pink.

As Don and Lilly returned got settled, the woman returned to her seat.

"So I'm sure everyone is wondering…how did you two meet?" the woman asked.

"Well I'm a secretary at O'Neil Tech and-" Lilly started.

"She was attempting to stalk me," Don put in. Lilly glared at him and swatted his arm.

The crowd laughed.

"You are horrible," Lilly teased. Don grinned and kissed her gently.

The crowd laughed a little.

After the interview was over Don pulled Lilly close.

"I hate interviews," he muttered. She smiled and kissed him gently.

"I know you'd rather be working on something else," she teased gently.

"I'd rather be able to just submit my interview answers via a E-mail," Don grumped. Lilly giggled and leaned into him.

"Sometimes I think you're too shy for your own good love," Lilly laughed.

"So shall we go to lunch before we return to Tech?" Don asked.

"Definitely," Lilly giggled, "Hey are we still going to announce tonight?"

"Probably not, Raph hasn't slept much and Jo…well she's tired and as much as she protests she knows she needs to take it easy. Leo's on call tonight, something about a gang fight, and the Police Department might need Leo's team. Jane's still under the weather, morning sickness isn't being kind to her," Don sighed.

"Well, that's to be expected I guess," Lilly sighed, "What's Mikey up to tonight?"

"Date," Don replied, "He's all excited about it."
