Chapter 6-Mr. Fix It

Donatello leaned back in his chair. Satisfied, Don took a moment to observe his work on the Triceriton mind probe. It had taken six long months, but the genius turtle had finally finished all of his modifications to the device.

Mira's voice called out from the kitchen. "Don, come and eat."

Pushing back his chair, the purple masked turtle rose. Don headed towards the kitchen to join his roommate for lunch. Roommate. Donatello almost snorted at the thought. Spending the past six months, alone, living with his ex-girlfriend Mira, wasn't exactly Donnie's idea of a good time. Sure, at one point in the past Don and Mira had been more than just friends. He had been crazy about the Utrom psychiatrist. And he was ashamed to admit that, even when her true colors emerged, because it turned out that Mira had one shell of a jealous streak, Don would forgive and forget, far too easily.

Leaving the Utroms and Mira, to reunite with his brothers, gave the soft hearted turtle the out he was looking for. After all, Mira and he couldn't exactly continue dating if he lived on Earth with his brothers, and she returned to the Utrom homeworld with her people. It was the perfect break up. But the plan had been flawed. Mira didn't leave planet Earth with her fellow Utroms. Instead, the manipulative little squid like alien had managed to worm her way back into Don's new life.

Having arrived at the kitchen, Donatello sat in a chair directly across from his roommate. Don's thoughts continued to wander. It's been six months living apart from my brothers. I know that Leo is with the Foot Clan. And Mikey is still at home with Master Splinter. But Raph, he's still out storming the streets looking for revenge on Commander Mozar.

A wave of guilt washed over Donatello. Raph, he was so mad at me. I didn't even get a chance to explain. I never intended for the Triceriton Mind Probe to become a weapon. Donnie began twirling his spoon in the soup as it slowly grew cold. I've got to find him. Tell him the truth.

Taking a distracted sip of his now cold soup, Donatello's thoughts continued. Mikey, he was so hurt with Leo and Raph leaving. And then I left too. I can't even imagine what he must be feeling. Not wanting to attract Mira's attention,Donatello held back a sigh. Leo might be with the Foot, but at least I know that he is safe, for now. And living with Master Splinter, so is Mikey. Donatello's hand clenched into a fist. I can fix this, all of this. I just have to find Raph first. He's the one at the greatest risk right now.

For once, turtle luck was on his side. Donatello tuned back into Mira's conversation at the right time.

"Now that the device is finally finished, I've already sent word to the Triceriton's. They are arriving in the next day or two to pick up the device."

Donatello nodded as he continued to eat his cold soup.

Mira frowned at her quiet roommate. For weeks Mira has struggled to recapture Don's attention. When Don had appeared on her doorstep six months ago, she had been thrilled. At first, Mira thought Don had finally come to his senses and was ready to rekindle their relationship.

She had been wrong.

Mira has tried cooking, cleaning, helping Don repair the Triceriton mind probe, giving him space, getting into his personal space; anything and everything she could think of. All her efforts were in vain. It was like Donatello had become a different turtle. He always had a faraway look in his eyes. Seemed lost in his own thoughts. Clearly his brothers leaving Master Splinter had affected her boyfriend deeply. Mira was at a loss on how to reclaim Don for herself. If only she could take him away and get him to forget about his brothers.

Yet none of that mattered right now. For the first time in many weeks, she had at least some of Don's attention, and she wasn't going to waste the opportunity.

Mira leaned forward, the excitement radiating off of her. "And guess who's coming with them? Commander Mozar."

Donatello looked up. He raised an eyeridge. "What?"

Encouraged by Don's response Mira said. "Not only is he coming to collect the device personally, but, he also wants to meet you."

At this, Donatello put his spoon back into the cold soup. No longer interested in eating, Donatello fully focused on Mira for the first time since sitting down for lunch. "Meet me? Why?"

With a shrug of her shoulders, Mira continued. "I don't really know. He said he wanted to meet the brilliant engineer behind the Triceriton Mind Probe. Maybe he has another device he wants us to build for him?"

Mira began to ramble. "Or perhaps he wants to hire us full-time. We could travel around the galaxy with the Triceritons! Think of all the worlds we could see Don. And the inventions we could create with access to all of that Triceriton technology."

Donatello had to keep from grimacing at the thought. It was bad enough that the purple masked turtle had to live with Mira, fixing the damaged mind probe, while he struggled to think of a plan to fix his broken family. The last thing Don wanted, was to help the Triceritons anymore than he already had.

Once again tuning out his roommate, Donatello picked up his spoon and continued eating his cold soup. His thoughts began to wander back to his brothers. Wait a minute. Commander Mozar is coming to Earth to pick up the mind probe. And Raphael left the lair to find the Commander. This might be my opportunity to finally reconnect with Raph.

Donatello and Mira continued lunch, each absorbed in their own thoughts. The only sound in the room was Mira's nonstop rambling about traveling the galaxy with Don by her side.

A/N: One more plot building chapter to come. Then hold onto your hats folks, it's going to be a wild ride. Virtual slice of pecan pie to those who review!
