Chapter 2. Four Shadows.
Donnie moved around in his bed. He'd been tossing and turning all night and due to the lack of sleep he was becoming increasingly irritable. He flipped on to his shell letting out an annoyed sigh as he looked up at the ceiling. He'd had enough. What little sleep he did get was interrupted by thoughts and weird vivid dreams about Kari, along with the guilt he felt by his intrusion of her privacy. He had a pang in his chest that wouldn't go away, he knew that he'd done wrong, and this was his bodies way of tormenting him. He sat up and looked over to his little brother who was sleeping soundly, he wasn't feeling guilty in the slightest, why couldn't he be like Mikey? He looked at his clock, it was coming up to 6am. Feeling hopeless he slid out of his curved bed and picked up his combat trousers, he hopped into them as he made his way out of their sleeping area and back to his computers. He needed to tell Kari what he'd done, it was the only way to rid him of his guilt, even if it meant losing his communication with her and whatever this was that he was feeling. Wait a minute, this feeling? What the hell was this that he was feeling? An excitement in his belly, an anxiety building and a smile that grew on his face when he thought of her. He shook his head, it was because she was someone new, that's all, someone else he could talk to other then his brothers, yeah, that was it! But he was never this way when he met April or Casey or Vern. He shook his head again as he sat at his monitors, he kept going over it, trying to figure out this feeling, trying to avoid the obvious answer that kept rolling around in his brain, was it… a crush? "No!" he thought, he was a logical thinker, he could be feeling this way because of anything, a hundred different things, but the answer refused to leave, and as a logical thinker he had no choice but to accept that's what it was, a crush, an attraction. He stared at his keyboard for a moment. The guilt swirled around in his innards. His monitor was on, his keyboard was ready, and his hands were positioned ready to type. He chewed on the inside of his mouth. He couldn't tell her; he couldn't do it and more importantly he didn't want to. He wanted to keep this thing going.
Suddenly he heard a ping from his computer. Kari was online.
The butterflies filled his belly again. He quickly grabbed his mouse and hovered the arrow over the on screen button, he still had her details on the program he'd put in place last night, the one that allowed him to see her messages.
He paused again for a moment as he thought about what he was doing. "God damn it!" he grumbled as he fought with his conscience. He then heard movement behind him. Looking over to the kitchen area he saw Mikey making his way to the bathroom yawning and stretching. Donnie turned back to his monitor. Why couldn't he be like Mikey? He bit his bottom lip then clicked on the button. Who'd have thought that he'd be inspired by his little brother who was crazy and so care free? The chat came up and Kari was talking to Lucy again.
Lucy: Do you realise what time it is? It's the weekend Karri, sleep in for God sake!
Kari: This is different, I've hardly slept.
Lucy: Why? What's wrong? Are you ok?
Kari: Yeah, it's just, that Donnie guy is on my mind, I don't know why, I just can't stop thinking about him.
Donnie's eyes widened as he felt an uncontrollable smile pull on his face. The butterflies were having a party in his stomach.
Lucy: Well, that's a good sign, isn't it?
Kari: I don't know the guy, why am I so, so…
Lucy: Hung up?
Kari: I guess.
Lucy: I don't know. It could be the sense of mystery; you could be thinking about what he looks like behind the screen.
Kari: Ugh! He was so nice, and kind… maybe it because no one has ever been that way with me before.
Lucy: Perhaps. Ooo, btw! Did you check the news?
Kari: No! Have they been spotted again?
Lucy: Looks like it, some guy reported that he was rescued the other day by four shadowed figures, there's footage, I'll send you the link!
Donnie's brow furrowed as he copied the link from Lucy's post.
There was shaky phone footage of the guy running away, then he turned to film four shadow figures taking out his attackers. You couldn't see what they looked like but then Donnie's eyes widened as he rewound the footage and noticed something worrying.
Lucy: Did you see that?!
Kari: What the hell was that?
Lucy: I have a close up, here, I'll send you the pictures.
Donnie waited for Lucy to send the pictures over.
Kari: Oh my god, is that, is that green skin?
Donnie's anxiety started to hit the roof, it was footage of him and his brothers, the green skin they could see was Raph's foot and calf, illuminated by a passing car headlight. They had been filmed before; it was a given that it was going to happen, but they were all so skillful when it came to staying unseen, this however was a little un-nerving.
Lucy: The guy that was saved said that he thinks they were Aliens.
Kari: lolololololololol Oh my god!
Lucy: I know, right? They are mutants, the scales and things, what else could they be?
Kari: There so much stuff been dumped everywhere, toxic stuff and then there are experiments on animals, and there are so many things in the world that haven't even been discovered yet, they could be anything! Hey, Lucy, send me the video of the roof fight that you have, I wanna see it again.
Donnie sat with his mouth open. He watched Lucy go through her files, he saw lots of videos dedicated to the 'Four Shadows!'
Whilst she sent the video to Kari, Donnie was able to snatch her files and save them to his. He started to go through them one by one, seeing loads of videos of him and his brothers fighting crime and jumping from roof to roof. He recognized Kari's voice in one of them, realizing that she and Lucy had on occasion gone out looking for them too.
He could see that they very nearly succeeded in finding them, they had just reached the roof that the guys were on and managed to record them jumping from it. Part of Donnie was worried that they were going to the lengths they were to find them, but the other part was hyped knowing that the girl he liked was actually aware of him and his families existence, to some extent, and was very interested in them.
He laughed to himself as he re-watched the video of the two girls jumping around cheering on the roof after seeing him and his brothers jump away. Lucy was bouncing around going nuts and Kari was holding the phone screaming that they had been so close this time.
"What's this, Donnie?"
Donnie almost choked on his own saliva. It was Leo. He'd been busted, there was no way of hiding the videos that were playing on his monitors.
"Erm, well I… erm" he panicked.
Leo squinted and looked at the footage, then he looked at the messages between the girls and saw the ones referring to Donnie. Leo took a deep breath in and out through his nose.
"The dojo, now!" Leo turned and stormed from Donnie's area. Mikey was making his way back to bed as Leo pointed to him and shouted for him to wake Raph and get to the Dojo immediately. Donnie followed his older brother.
Once in the Dojo Donnie kept his head down as Mikey, and a not so happy Raph walked in. Leo paced as he looked at them all one by one.
"So, anyone wanna tell me what's been going on?" he said with a gravelly tone.
Donnie looked at the others and then stepped forward.
"Leo, this is on me not the others."
Leo looked him up and down.
"What the fuck is going on!?" snapped Raph.
"Ok, so I went on to this chat room, social media thing and got chatting to this girl, Kari…"
"Don't forget Lucy!" smiled Mikey
"You're in this too?" Leo snapped his head at Mike, "…how bout you Raph, you involved?"
Raph glared at his brother in blue, "What! No! don't look at me!"
"Its mainly me… and a little bit of Mikey," Donnie looked back at Leo.
Leo let out a sigh and nodded for him to continue, he knew that he would get the whole truth from Donnie.
"So, there's these two girls, Kari and…"
"Lucy, she's my girlfriend," Mikey gave the biggest smile.
Donnie shook his head and Leo pinched between his nose.
"…Kari and Lucy. It started off out of curiosity really, then Karri popped up needing some help with a laptop, I assisted her and then we just started chatting. She offered to pay for my help…"
"Yer took the money, right?" Raph spat.
"No," Donnie continued, "…I told her it wasn't necessary…"
Raph tutted, "Dumb ass!"
Donnie rolled his eyes.
"…she offered to buy me coffee, she was really sweet about it and grateful for the help,"
"And then what?" Leo pushed.
Donnie and Mikey looked at one another and Donnie carried on.
"I then saw that she was talking to her friend Lucy, turns out that Kari was flirting and getting help from Lucy in talking to me, Mikey came along and we kind of hacked into their web cams…
"Yeah," said Mikey, "…accidentally on purpose though!"
Donnie shook his head again, "…we arranged to chat to them later on today"
"Are you crazy?!" snapped Leo, "…seriously, have you lost your mind? Donnie, I expected more from you. You know how this can endanger our family but yet you chose to pursue it? What were you thinking?!"
"Were they hot?" asked Raph as he completely ignored his brothers lecture.
"Yeah brah! They were sizzlin'!" said Mikey cheerfully as him and Raph knuckled.
"That's besides the point!" snapped Leo, "…this ends now!"
"But Leo," said Donnie as he pushed his glasses back up on to his nose, "…I understand what you're saying and I would completely do what you say but, I think we should monitor them, they…well, they seem to know about us."
Leo furrowed his brows, "what do you mean, what did you do?"
"Nothing, honest. I hacked their computers, and it turns out that they have been hunting us in a way. They have hours of footage of us, nothing showing what we look like, but they are aware of us, they try and track us down as often as they can…"
Leo took another deep sigh and let Donnie continue.
"…from what information I've gathered, they are completely harmless, just a couple of girls trying to see who we are. If anything, they can keep us updated with how exposed we are to the public, I can keep tabs of how our strategies are working and if they need improving. But, they have been closed to catching us, on a few occasions!"
"Wow, we've got groupies!" cheered Mikey, "…hot fan girl groupies!"
Leo shushed Mikey then looked back at Donnie.
"Ok, keep and eye on them, keep doing what you're doing. We'll monitor them until we know that their not a threat. I'll go and inform Sensi…"
Donnie nodded.
"…Get back to what you were all doing!" Leo walked out of the dojo and the others ran back to Donnie's monitors.
"So, these girls are actually into us?" said Raph as he pulled up a chair next to Donnie, Mikey did the same at the opposite side.
"Well, not into us in the way you think, but they are interested in the four shadows that have been helping the city," said Donnie as he pulled up the chat again between Kari and Lucy.
"Ahh dude! Ya need to pull up the web cams again," said Mikey as he picked up a discarded bag of chips from Donnie's desk and proceeded to eat them.
"Yeah! Pull up the web cams Donnie!" said Raph excitedly.
Donnie did as he was told, and the two girls popped up on the screen.
As soon as Donnie saw Kari he felt the flutters in his stomach again.
"Wow," said Raph as he looked at the two closely, "…they both look pretty damn good!"
"Nah-ah Raph, hands off, Lucy's mine and Kari is Donnie's!" Mikey shook his head at the red brute. Raph smirked and looked back at the girls.
Kari was adding a little make up and blush, then she brushed through her hair. Lucy was adding lipstick and lip liner using her computer camera as a mirror. Both were still chatting about the four shadows.
Suddenly Lucy gasped.
Kari: What? What is it?
Lucy: What if Donnie is one of these shadow guys? Maybe that's why he doesn't want to meet yet.
Kari went quiet, the cogs in her brain ticking as she thought.
"Busted!" said Mikey as they all looked at each other.
Donnie waved his hand at Mikey to shush him so he could continue to listen.
Kari: Damn, could you imagine? How hot would that be?
Lucy: Exactly what I was thinking! The green skin would be an added bonus, don't you think?
Both the girls sighed in a dreamy fashion.
"Dude," said Mikey as all three of them stared at the monitors, "…they could actually like us if they met us,"
"Shut yer trap, Mike," said Raph with a chuckle but then he looked back as the screens, "…they couldn't, could they?"
Donnie smiled; a seed of hope had now been planted in his mind. "Maybe they could,"
As the day went on the three continued to watch the girls as they did little fashion shows for each other with new clothes, sang along stupidly to cheesy songs, and discussed old boyfriends.
Lucy: Jason was just a dick! If I ever see him again I'll happily throw a brick at him!
"Sounds like a fuckin jerk baby girl," Mikey shouted at the screen.
"Yeah!" Shouted Raph, "…I'll kick the shit outta him for ya!"
Kari: Well, good riddance! That's what I say. Time to move on to bigger, better things.
Lucy: Like a guy called Donnie?
"Wow Donnie, Lucy really keeps bigging you up to Kari, if you guys get together you'll have to do something really nice for her to say thank you…" Mikey chuckled, "…oh wait, you already did, your introducing her to me!"
Raph rolled his eyes, "Get yer head outta your ass Mikey, she might not even like ya, she ain't met me yet and I don't want yer to worry but, I'd be worried!"
Raph laughed as him and Mikey wrestled. Donnie had been quiet for some time, just listening to the girls conversations about their interests and history and even the dumb stuff. They would talk in funny voices to one another trying to make each other laugh and just play about being stupid, Donnie loved it, seeing normal people doing normal stuff. He wanted that, to be accepted and close to people other than his brothers.
Lucy: What time are we chatting to Donnie and his brother?
Kari: I said 3pm, you got about an hour to get here.
Lucy: Cool, I'll grab some wine on the way. We patrolling tonight?
Kari: You know it!
Lucy: Great! I'll bring my gear! I'll be there in a bit.
Kari: Ok, Bye.
Lucy shut off her computer and the screen minimized to just Kari.
Mikey stretched and gave a yawn.
"Ok dudes, that gives us time to get some food before I start to weave my magic on Lucy!"
"You wish little dude, keep dreamin!" Laughed Raph as he followed.
Donnie gave a stretch also as he continued to watch Kari. He got up from his seat ready to turn the monitors off for a break before his digital date.
He tidied his desk a little before he saw Kari undressing as his eyes flicked back to the screen. His mouth dropped open as he watched her drop her trousers, revealing a tiny black G-string, her top still covering her top half. She then walked over to the desk where her laptop was and reached into her desk side draw pulling out a fairly large dildo.
Donnie let out an uncontrollable goofy giggle as he looked around him to make sure that no one else could see what he could. He picked up his mobile and quickly connected it to his computer. As soon as he could see the two pair he shut down his monitors and locked them so that no one else could access them. He then made his way quickly through the lair to the bathroom hiding a rather prominent erection as he did so.
Now in the bathroom Donnie flung the door closed and locked it. He held his breath for a moment then connected his headset to the phone so he could hear any sounds, he then continued to look at the screen. Kari was now laid on her bed, legs spread, her G-string to the side, inserting the dildo into herself a little at a time.
Donnie nearly fell over; he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He moved over to the toilet seat and sat down still watching her play. He felt his mouth start to water and his dick become harder.
"This is unbelievable!" he whispered to himself.
Kari carried on pushing the dildo into herself and moaned softly, enjoying the stretching sensation.
Donnie's eyes moved down to his crotch, should he take advantage of this? He could feel his cock throbbing with every moan she let out.
He quickly undid his pants and pulled his large penis out of his underpants and began to squeeze it, letting out a moan himself. His precum had already started to lube up his generously sized member, it was thick and long and purple in colour, the tip more red.
He looked back at the screen when he heard Kari's moans become a little deeper, she was using the dildo in her pussy, but her fingers were rubbing her clit. He watched as she pulled the dildo out, pushing her fingers in to use her wetness as lube to help glide her fingers around her engorged mound and folds before pushing the dildo back in, continuing to fuck herself.
"Oh shit!" said Donnie as he licked his lips, this was heaven. He pumped his dick as fast as he could, trying to mimic her thrusts to make it sound and feel like he was fucking her. He had done this before whilst watching porn but this time it was different, he had a thing for this girl and his imagination was running wild at the possibility that they could actually meet. He hissed as his tip became super sensitive, ready for him to bust, but he wanted to hold on until she came, so he could pretend that he'd made her cum, then he'd follow suit. He watched as she started to squirm, he body arching and her panting become a mixture of moans and mumblings, then suddenly she moaned out his name as she reached her peak! His eyes widened, losing control, squirting his load and moaning at the sound of her pushing his name out of her throat while her body convulsed. Donnie let out a breathy moan as the last of his seed ran over his fingers. He looked back at his phone and saw Kari sit up on her bed, pulling the shiny wet dildo from herself.
She looked over to her clock.
"Cool, I have time for a shower before Lucy gets here. Thanks Donnie," she said as she looked at her dildo, "…let's do this again, shall we?"
She made her way past her laptop and to what Donnie assumed was her en suit bathroom. He then heard the shower turn on.
He looked around his own bathroom, he certainly had made a mess and a shower did sound like an amazing idea, but he'd have to wait until the blood flowed back to his other limbs first, there was no way his body would allow him to stand up just yet after that!
