Chapter Seven:
The girls and I were all super excited as the guys led us to the lair. We couldn't believe this was happening! They were real and we were going to the place we have wanted to go to for years!
When we got to the entrance, which just looked like a blank wall, mind you, Donny pulled the pipe that made the door appear. Then he put in the code. We watched amazed.
When the door completely opened, the guys led us into the lair, where we were even more amazed as we gazed around the room. TV doesn't give this place justice! This was probably one of the coolest places I've ever seen!
"Do you mind if I look over your injuries? I want to make sure they don't get infected."Don asked me after a minute of us staring in awe.
"Sure."I said, following him through the lair.
He led me straight to the lair where he had me sit on what looked like a hospital bed. Cool, wonder how he managed to get that. Donny walked over to a cabinet and got out what looked like an industrial first aid kit.
"Well, at least you guys never have to worry about not being prepared."I said, with a smile.
He nodded.
"Yeah, we need all this with the amounts of injuries these guys seem to get. It's like we can't go one day without someone getting hurt."Donny explained as he shook his head. But I saw the smile he had too.
I knew Donny care for his family with all his heart and that he'd do anything for them. Just like his brothers would do anything for one another. This family had to be close knit because they're all each other have.
I felt another pang of sadness and hurt. I remember how close knit my family had been before the accident. . . No! Don't think about it.
I focused back on Donny as he took off the bandages on my head, careful not to hurt me more than I already was. Once they were off, I glanced over at them and noted the amount of blood on them.
I shivered.
"I can't believe it was possible for him to do that to me without me dieing."I told him, shaking my head.
He nodded in understanding. He had been through too, no doubt. Mikey did say it has happened to all of them.
"We all wondered the same thing. He knocked us all unconscious when he hooked us up to the machine so we don't know how he did it. I just remember it hurting like shell."
"Same here, it was the worst kind of pain I've ever felt. I was in a car accident once and even that pain felt like a pinch compared to that."I told him, and the pain and sadness returned.
"Yeah, I bet. What happened with the car crash?"He asked, sounding slightly curious and concerned as he wrapped my head back up.
"I don't remember much. I was driving my sister to school and a drunk driver slammed into the passenger side. My sister was killed instantly. I lived, but I spent a little over a month in a coma. The doctors almost gave up hope that I would live. For the longest time I blamed myself for her death. I was depressed and that hurt my parents a lot. I didn't even get to go to her funeral." Tears were already collecting in my eyes. "After a while I realized that it wasn't my fault my sister was killed. It was the drunk drivers fault. He was arrested the moment he got out of the hospital for man slaughter and drunk driver. The bastard deserves more than 25 years in prison, but that's what he got."
A couple of tears had escaped and I hastily wiped them away. Don had already gone over my other injuries as I had told the story and had gotten them clean and bandaged. After that, he had just sat there and listened to my story intently.
"I'm so sorry about your sister."He said, taking my hand and squeezing it.
"Thank you, for listening to me."I said, giving him a small smile. "So what's my diagnostic?"
"I don't think it's infected, but I will need to check on it every day. You're wrist is sprained, so you'll need to keep it in the sling for about a week. Make sure you ice it every day too. Just don't try to work yourself to hard, you might damage yourself more."He answered.
I nodded, but then Leo poked his head in the door. I immediately felt the butterflies I had felt at Shredder's tower, but surprisingly, they weren't as strong as before. I don't know why, but I was beginning to fell a strong pull towards Don instead.
"Are you guys done? Splinter is out now and he wants to meet Jenny."He asked us.
"Yep, we're done, right Don."I said as I got up and looked over at Don.
"Yep, let's go."He nodded and left through the door Leo had just occupied.
I followed Donny back into the living room where everyone was gathered around by the couch. We walked over to them. I saw Splinter sitting on the recycliner. I walked up to him and bowed. He stood up and bowed back before sitting down once more.
"Hello."I said and stood straight up again.
"Hello child, you must be Jenny." He said, smiling gently and fatherly at me.
"Yes, I am."I nodded.
"Welcome to our home. I hope you are comfortable here. You may stay as long as you like."He told me, reassuringly.
"We don't want to intrude for too long. We are just here until it is safe."I explained, but I smiled at his kindness. I knew he was really kind, of course, but it was nice to see so in real life.
He just nodded in understanding.
"I have a question, where are we going to sleep at?" Jess asked, as she looked around the room like she was expecting four beds to just appear.
"Hmm, that is a good question. Leonardo, why don't you share a room with Michelangelo and Donatello you share a room with Raphael. Then you girls can split those two rooms."Master Splinter decided and the guys bowed in understanding.
"Are you sure? We don't want to kick you guys out of your rooms. We could always make room in here with some blankets."I told him, not really wanting to intrude upon the most amazing people, err animals? - In the world!
"It's fine with us. We'll set up a cot in each of the rooms so we won't have to move the beds around tonight."Leo explained.
Splinter nodded before he stood up.
"Good, you girls can decide which room you want. I am going to mediate before I retired."He said before he turned and left to go to his room.
"Alright dudettes, now you just gotta choose whose room you want. I'm gonna make a couple pizzas for us."Mikey said.
"I'll help, I love making pizza."Jessica said, grinning.
She jumped up and followed him into the kitchen. Autumn watched her leave, looking a little jealous. I tilted my head in confusion. Why was Autumn jealous, Jess does making pizzas and we have a plan.
Of course, with life, your plans never work out the way you want it. Knowing the guys in real life and imagining them is different.
"I'm gonna go work on my bike." Raph said gruffly.
"Can I help?"Mandy asked, looking excited about working on a bike, and hanging out with the Raphael.
He raised his eye brow as he looked her over. She looked like a princess, but I knew she was a bad ass who loved motorcycles and kicking anyone's ass who messed with her.
"I dunno princess, can ya handle a motorcycle."He asked her.
She huffed and glared daggers at him. He shouldn't have called her that. This was going to be interesting.
"Don't you dare call me a princess or I'll kick your ass. And yes I can handle a motorcycle, I've built my own. You got a problem with how I look."She hissed, looking ready to punch him.
"Whatever, come on." He said, surprised before shrugging and indicating for her to follow him out.
Mandy smiled at us before following him. Now it was just me, Autumn, Leo, and Donny in the living room. An awkward silence filled the room. After a second, Leo cleared his throat.
"I'm gonna go mediate."Leo said, turning around to leave.
"I'll come with you, I haven't mediated in a while and I kinda miss the peace."Autumn said as she jumped up. He nodded and they walked out, leaving me and Donny alone.
"So, what kind of invention are you working on right now?"I asked, turning towards him.
"I'm just modifying the battle shell right now."He answered with a smile that I returned.
"Believe it or not, I'm an expert with cars. I'm actually majoring in quantum physics and engineering. I've always loved science and cars."I explained.
"Really? Would you like to help me?" He asked.
"Sure, I would love to."I answered, nodding enthusiastically.
I followed him to the elevator because the battle shell would be up in the garage, of course. I smiled as I followed him. I had a feeling that we all were going to get along just fine here.
