April froze as soon as the stuff met her body.
It burned her skin and froze her blood.
She screamed, letting out precious air.
She gasped for breath. Things were growing blurry. She needed air...
"Guys!"
Donatello looked up. He had turned Michelangelo away, so his young brother did not have to witness the horror of seeing someone get mutated.
"What?"
Raphael gasped.
"The girl. She didn't mutate!"
Donatello stood. He walked up to the bars of the cage and peered out. The men had dragged the redheaded girl out of the mutagen, and she still looked human.
Leonardo frowned.
"She isn't...dead, is she?"
Raph scoffed.
"Nah. They would've tossed her into the rejects bin if that were the case."
There was talking, then some kind of agreement. One of the men hoisted the girl over his shoulder.
Donnie nodded.
"They won't toss her away. They're going to want to do tests on her."
Mikey tilted his head.
"Look, dudes. They're bringing her over here."
The man who carried her bent down and unlocked the cage. He threw the girl in, and she landed with a quiet thump.
"Don't eat her!" The man laughed. He locked the cage, then walked away.
