Accidental Meeting 17
Don went searching around for Annova after April had told him where she had gone too. Slowly he descended the stairs checking to make sure the traps were off before he continued. Finding they were off he went on in search of his girlfriend finding it odd that she hadn't come back yet. Walking up to the door finding it slightly ajar this worried him. Something wasn't right. Pulling the door open finding papers scattered everywhere but she wasn't obviously visible. Looking up he found her leaning against the window with her knees brought up to her chest forehead resting on them. Slowly he hovered up to her, she didn't even move.. Carefully he brushed her hair out of her face finding her beautiful face marred by tears.
"Annova, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked hovering up so he could sit on the seal next to her. Slowly she uncurled herself looking up at him with a pained expression that was killing him on the inside. "I found out I've been lied to my entire life. I wasn't born, Donnie. I was made. I'm a monster that can be used to destroy every mutant. How can you even love something like me?" She asked tears welling up in her eyes again. She couldn't look at him in that moment afraid of what she might see. He stared at her shocked, but this new revelation didn't change how he felt about her. Don moved forward taking her face in his hands gently turning her face to his.
"I don't care what you are. I don't care what they want to use you for. I love you just the way you are. Now come here I can't stand it when you're sad." He said seriously brushing his thumbs under her eyes to remove the tears. She was shocked that he still excepted as she was. Slowly she crawled into his lap laying her head back on his chest letting out a heavy sigh. "Master Splinter knows what's going on. He's coming here to help us figure out where we go from here." She said quietly running her fingers up to his knee resting there. He sighed relaxing under her touch placing his hand on top of hers. "I'm glad pops is getting out of there. Now let's go through those papers and the data on those computers. We can figure this out together." Don said sweetly kissing the top of her head breathing in her scent.
"Alright I guess we can do that. I want to know but after reading the papers that are everywhere down there, I'm afraid of what I'm going to find." She said softly half turning in his lap pressing a soft kiss on his lips. He smiled leaning down kissing her again this time with a little more fire. She returned it tenfold finding it hard to resist his advances. Brushing her fingertips down his face, shocking them both when her serpent tongue brushed over his bottom lip. She felt the shiver the action produced finding his hands that were resting on her sides began to move down to her hips thumbs caressing her sides. She hummed in approval pressing as close as she could possibly get to him sideways.
They broke apart breathing heavily staring into each others eyes. "W wow, that felt amazing." She breathed out seeming a little bit dazed. He had to agree with her so he leaned in for another one. This time she fully turned around wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms encircling his neck. He pulled her flush to him running one hand up her back while the other remained on her lower back. This time he brushed his tongue her bottom lip surprised when her serpentine tongue slipped out to glide across his. This sent a delicious quake through him.
The moment was effectively ruined when a loud knocking sound came from down below them. Pulling away from each other panting they both looked down to find Leo leaning on the door frame. "Oh lovebirds, we have a guest." He chimed though the look on his face said he was absolutely furious to have caught them. With a heavy sigh Annova jumped down first follow by Don who grabbed ahold of her hand as they walked. "We need to collect these quickly then." She said quickly kneeling down picking up the papers she had scattered everywhere moments ago. Don walked over to the computer to continuing the download he started. Leo sighed and started helping with the papers on the ground. Soon between the two of them they had them all picked up and in order again. Annova found a large carry filer so she started grabbing other files on the desk and in the filing cabinet.
As soon as she had it filled Leo took it from her slinging it over his shoulder. "I got everything downloaded and ready to go." Don announced pulling out his USB cord walking up to her with a smile. "Ok let's get out of here." Leo exclaimed turning walking out with the two following behind. Walking into the den they found Repo and Master Splinter waiting for them. "Repo, what are you doing here?" Annova and Don asked at the same time then looked at each other slightly surprised by each other. "I came to help ya get out of here and to a safe place, princess. After this guy explained the basics of what's going on. I told ya I would come save you for a price, but in this situation I'll wave it." He explained with a smirk sitting back in chair he had found
"What's the plan, pops?" Raph asked crossing his arms over his broad chest wanting to know what's going on. "Your friend here has a place further out he's taking us too. As for what they're planning its not good, my dear. They want to use you as a conduit to kill off every mutant within the city. I'm sure you found information here and maybe a way to stop this before they can try." He said quietly his tone showing the severity of the situation. "Hey ah, what should we do with these two?" Raph asked pointing to the snake mutants still unconscious. "Leave them here they have a tracker planted on them." Splinter said calmly looking them over curiously tugging at his beard.
"Wait why doesn't one of us take them somewhere else to make it look like we're heading back to the city." Mikey exclaimed surprising everyone in the room. "Good thinkin' Mikey. Um who's taking them?" April replied then looked around the room at the crew. "I'll do it since I'm heading back there after I show ya where to go. That way it doesn't look too suspicious." Repo volunteered with a bitter smirk getting up from his seat. "Ok let's get out of here guys." April announced heading for the door before Splinter's cane stopped her. "Something is here." He whispered quietly looking around to the windows and doors.
"What are we going to do?" Leo asked reaching up for one of his swords when Annova raised a hand to him shaking her head no. "They are here for me. I can't keep running if it puts you in danger. A piece of the article said if I sacrifice myself the mutants will be spared. I have to try to save all of you." She said solemnly staring down at the floor not willing to look at anyone. "No we can't let that happen to you. There has to be another way." Don snapped pulling up his screen going through the data he had pulled from it getting more and more horrified as he went.
"There's no way I'm letting them take you either. Donnie and I might fight over you but when it comes down to it we will rise and defend you together." Leo added stepping in between her and the door fully putting the filer bag on his shoulder drawing his swords. "That's right, princess. We gots this." Raph growled slammed his fist into his palm. "Yeah girl, no worries we're standing with you on this. They ain't laying a hand on you." Miley agreed bouncing from foot to foot getting ready. "Well I guess since I'm here I'll just have to defend ya honor too. Can't let these turtle boys show me up." Repo said cracking his neck with a smirk. "I guess these old bones still have some fight in them." Master Splinter said with a smile standing up as straight and as tall as he could.
"Annova, you and April go down to the hidden room. We'll shut the entrance while you activate the traps. I'll call you when its safe." Don said calmly pulling out his no staff before pulling her to him kissing her on the lips before letting go. April took her hand leading her down the stairs. Annova never took her eyes off Don until he was completely out of sight.
Man this was a tough one to write. Seems like things are getting serious. ~L~
