Donny had been confined to his room for a week. He had been bored out of his mind, but he had only tried to think of his family. He wished they would find him already. But of course, he also recounted that other dimension he had been sent to. Had he been captured by this woman and her company and she had kept him for 30 years?
Don really didn't want to be here that long at all. He could barely tolerate being here as it was. Wherever here was. The poor turtle was tired of feeling this way: miserable. He missed his family terribly.
Over the long week, Beatrice had treated his hands accordingly and were now just covered in scabs without the bandages.
Another thing he had to worry about was, was he actually carrying a baby now? Had the experiment worked? He couldn't help but run his hands over his belly.
After the long week was up, Don was finally allowed out of his room again, but this time, he was taken to a different part of the building. He was taken to a vehicle workshop.
"Let's see what you got to fix all these cars by the end of the week. All the supplies are over there. All supplies that are needed. We just want to see what you can do to fix them." One of the two men said who had been escorting him.
There were 5 different vehicles that needed fixing.
Don was watched during the day in the shop while he was working, but he also kept on looking for a way out so he could get out of here.
Don had worked on his family's vehicles enough to know where all the broken parts were and he found each part and replaced the old one with the new one. All the vehicles were fixed at the end of the week.
Beatrice and her men were impressed with Don's work. This was one field where Don was usually his happiest. He had calmed down a little bit while working in here, but he still would much rather be at home working on his family's or his own projects. He knew he would have much catching up to do with them once he got home.
When he was done working in the shop, Don was put to work in the lab. Some physics kind of stuff. Decoding certain codes and helping with specimens.
He did show some curiosity about the projects, but was still wary.
One day while working in the lab, the man that Don had hurt came into the lab and saw the turtle working.
"Well, if it isn't the turtle that ruined my life!" He yelled at Don, nearly scaring him out of his shell.
Don looked at the man in a horrified way. "You nearly tried to choke me just to get me to cooperate!"
"And I'd do it again if I had to, but next time, it'll be for real! You'll pay for what you did to me!" The man threatened him.
Don knew now more than ever that he wasn't safe here. Some night, this guy could come into his room and try to kill him!
Luckily, Beatrice came into the lab and told him to get out. Don was grateful for that, but he didn't miss the man's hateful scowl at him on the way out.
…
Beatrice was impressed by what this turtle could do now that he was more willing to cooperate. He was definitely worth breeding too. She was waiting for certain signs before she would have him checked.
…
The turtle family and their friends were miserable at having to stop looking for Donatello. They knew he was still out there, but it was getting close to a month and they had found no signs at all from him even being in the city.
Splinter was sure he was still alive, but it seemed so far away anymore.
Raphael was the most determined to keep looking however. None of them wanted to give up, but mainly, all they could hope for was that wherever Don was that he would get away and come back to them. But they would still keep searching for leads whenever possible.
…..
It had now been over a month since his capture, and these days, Donny wasn't feeling too good.
He was sick to his stomach a lot, had headaches, a lot of cramps, and just wanted to rest instead of work. He couldn't keep much food down either.
Once the symptoms were strongest, Beatrice had Don taken back to the exam room and an ultrasound done on him. And there on the screen, was a little embryo on the screen!
The experiment was a success!
Now Don knew there was trouble. If that man ever got his hands on him, he would surely want to kill his baby too. Don knew he needed to escape now more than ever.
One day, he got up the nerve to try to ask her where it was she had brought him.
"Beatrice, where have you brought me exactly to why my family can't find me so easily?"
She knew he would ask her eventually.
"Ohio."
Don's eyes widened. He was far away from them! But it didn't matter to him. He would find a way to get out of here. He just had to bide his time carefully and learn his way around this place. He was mostly kept in the confines of his room, the car shop, or the lab. And sometimes, the exam room.
Don knew that man had to be watching his every move. As his injuries were healing, he had to be summoning up a plan to get his revenge on him.
…
The man was middle aged. It took his leg awhile to heal, but once he got the all clear from his doctor, the man wanted revenge on that pregnant reptile so bad.
…..
Over the last couple of months, Don had dealt with morning sickness quite a bit and was tired of it. He was still working on what Beatrice wanted him to despite any complications the unborn baby was giving him. And by now, he had also seen how he was going to get out of here. He just had to wait for the right moment.
Don was around his tenth week now. His illness symptoms still came and went, but didn't seem as bad.
He wondered if his family was still looking for him. He was sure they were. They wouldn't give up on him.
Don had asked how long this experimental pregnancy was going to go on.
"I have no idea, Donatello, but given there is no egg forming, you could still be carrying it for awhile. But once this one is born, then we'll have an idea of how long you'll be carrying more."
Donny dreaded the idea of carrying any more babies after this one. This pregnancy was already scary enough. And he didn't want this child falling into evil hands.
…..
The man had bided his own time long enough to get revenge on that turtle. He knew Beatrice wanted to have him around, but as long as he had anything to do with it, this turtle wouldn't be around much longer, and the turtle's child would never live to see the light of day!
The man has something very big planned for Donny next chap.
