In case anyone had any questions...Yes, this is a Donnie/OC. Meaning Donnie and my character, Kara, will be together.. eventually. Can't rush these things! But if you have any ideas you would like to share then, please do so. I appreciate all of you that review/enjoy my story! Ahem, on with the story!
The brothers had just returned from another patrol and came back with a robot body. Kara stared at it for a few seconds and watched as Donnie went all turbo nerd on them. She giggled finding him adorkable and sighed softly watching him work but snapped out of it seeing him show off his arm for April to feel his goosebumps. She looked down at her feet knowing April was pretty smart for her age plus she was cute. "Can't beat smart and cute!" the little voice in her head chimed. She groaned softly and fell back on the beanie bag chair she was occupying. She had nothing against April, the time she has spent with her down here was pretty cool. April became her friend, which she showed April how much that meant to her by lifting her off the ground in a 'Mikey' hug. Yet, every time Donnie gave her his full attention it struck a chord in her heart. It wasn't an angry/jealousy chord...ok, it was, but it was also a sad one. She placed her hand over her heart just as Master Splinter walked up to her from behind. "Is there something troubling you, my dear?" She closed her eyes, shaking her head. "I don't really want to talk about it right now, if that's ok with you, Master." He nodded his head, leaning over and touched hers. "I will always be here when you need to talk." She smiled at him and closed her eyes to his fatherly touch before sitting up and watched as April stormed off. "Where is she going?"
Kara was watching Raph feed his turtle, who just found out was named Spike, Leo was watching his all-time favorite Space Heroes show. She thought about inviting them to her place to actually do something but figured he would just hog her tv and watch his show on the flatscreen and in high definition, so she decided to wait for another time. Thinking it was time to head home she got up but felt a small vibration which caused her to stumble to the floor in surprise. She looked towards where it came from and after seeing Mikey hug his pizza as if letting go meant the destruction of life as they knew it, she saw a mini metal turtle come into view and stop. "Take me to your leader." It said in Don's voice.
"Leo, it's for you." Mikey said while Leo and Raph came into view.
"What is this thing?" Leo asked with his arms at his hips.
"Lady." Donnie said looking towards Kara's direction, smiling. "Gentlemen, and Raphael." She giggled at him as Raph made a face at him. "This is the future of ninjitsu."
"I always thought the future of ninjitsu would be..taller." Raph stated as Mikey walked up to it, speaking in a baby voice. "Aw, he's so cute." He smiled brightly at it while scratching under its chin going, "Coochy Coochy Coo." Its eyes lit up and suddenly a whole arsenal of weapons came out of it, along with a bat with a nail stuck into it causing Mikey to jump back with a start, falling over. "Hehe, he doesn't like being tickled." He said, pushing the top of its head while patting it.
"Woah, Donnie! That's so cool!" Kara walked over to it, bending her knees so that she was eye level and examined it. "Mikey's right, it is pretty cute." She grinned sheepishly as she placed her hand on the side of its face causing Donnie to blush.
"Hehe, thanks Kara." He rubbed the back of his head shyly while holding the remote control for the chibi turtle.
"Oh!" Kara hopped up and went to Donnie's lab, grabbing a permanent marker and came back out sitting beside the metal turtle and began drawing on it. "This turtlebots gonna need some cool designs on it." She smiled as she began to draw flames on its arms. She wasn't the best artist, but she could doodle designs.
"Hey! I name stuff. That's my thing!" Mikey yelled, giving a pout.
"Well fine, what would you name it then?" She asked not looking away.
"Isn't it cool? I reversed engineered it from the Kraang droid." Donnie said while Mikey made faces at it.
"Okay...why?" Leo asked with curiosity or suspicion, she couldn't tell for she was too focused on adding the finishing touches to its arm.
"So, the droid can handle the dangerous stuff while we stay out of harm's way." Donnie explained to Leo.
"Finished!" Kara yelled happily, jumping up from her sitting position and lifted up the arm with ease to show the others. Leo smiled at her looking like a parent whose young child was showing them a piece of artwork they did at school. "Nice job, Kara." She pouted her lips some but grinned as Mikey took the arm from her, looking at it. "Cooool."
Raph ignored her while talking with Donnie. "Oh, I get it. This is for wimps who are too afraid to fight."
"No, this is for wimps who are too smart to fight." Donnie said as a matter-of-fact. "I-I mean.." Kara giggled, pointing at Donnie. "Hehe, you called yourself a wimp."
Mikey interrupted Donnie before he could say anything and smiled. "Oh, I know! Let's call it Metal Head! Why you ask? Cause he's got a head and he's-"
"We get it." Leo sighed, smacking his head. "I don't need a toaster fighting my battles for me."
Kara got up knowing this was going to lead to a demonstration and decided to leave.
"I'm leaving guys, see ya." She said trying to get their attention but heard Donnie telling his brothers to attack the drone. She sighed and turned to leave, muttering under her voice. "Bet you would pay attention if April was leaving.." She pulled her hood over her head and left.
Kara was riding home after getting herself some fast food from her favorite burger place and was jamming to her music through her earphones but blinked, seeing cars flashing their lights. She stopped her scooter and paused her music hearing the alarms go off. "Must be Metal Head." She chuckled and followed after the sound till she saw the guys and April in an alleyway. "Hey-" BAM! She flinched as Metalhead fell into a dumpster. "-Guys..."
"Oh, hey Kara. How'd you find us." Donnie asked through Metalhead with a speaker.
She leaned back some, pointing at the cars with her thumb. "Followed the trail of car alarms you guys set off." They all grabbed their ears in pain when Donnie's voice came out of the megaphone. She groaned in pain hearing his voice return to a normal volume.
"Guys, we gotta do something! The Kraang are going to poison the water supply with mutagen!" April shouted to them in worry.
"The whole city will become a disaster area." Leo started.
"There'd be mutants everywhere!" Donnie said in a worried tone.
"Think of all the friends we could make!" Mikey said while hugging Metalhead. They all gave him, including Kara, a "seriously?" look. "Excuse me for being a glass half full guy."
"Let's go." Leo said while he and Raph looked at each other before running off.
"Yeah, the Kraang don't stand a chance." Donnie said while following after them.
"Donnie," Leo started as he held his hand out to stop Metalhead. "I need you stand back. Metalhead is just too clumsy. It'll get in our way."
"Clumsy?!" Donnie yelled while throwing his arms out accidentally knocking down some trashcans. "I did that on purpose to emphasis my point."
"You're not coming, Donnie." Leo said shaking his head as they ran off. Metalhead slumped his shoulders while April patted them. Kara looked up and pointed at the roofs. "We'll be able to watch them from up there."
While April and Donnie watched the building his brothers snuck into Kara was enjoying her dinner, sitting on the ledge with her feet dangling next to April. She glanced over hearing the whirring sound and saw 'Metalhead' watching April and looked down thinking this was a mistake to tag along while taking a sip of her soda. She blinked hearing Donnie ask, "So, uh, do you like heavy metal? Hehe.." Kara smiled at him and shook her head one word coming to mind as she took another bite of her burger. "Adorkable.."
As Donnie zoomed in on the visor to get a closer look at April, he ended up watching Kara eat her food and couldn't help but blush but blinked when April looked back at him and quickly turned away causing her to huff, roll her eyes, and turn her attention back to the building. Donnie took this chance and zoomed in once more this time, looking at Kara, noticing the pink lights flashing from the Kraang weapons made her glow. "Look at her. She's so beautiful." He said as hearts floated around him, moving closer to the screen. "With this monitor she can't tell I'm staring."
"You do know that's not muted, right?" April questioned staring at Metalhead.
Kara looked hearing him trying to cover his mistake and sighed, thinking the situation just got awkward and it was time for her to leave. Not feeling hungry, which was completely new to her, she wrapped up whatever she didn't finish and tossed it down to one of the trashcans in the alley, having it land right inside. She grinned, wiping her hands on her pants thinking having all the trashcans everywhere finally got some use. She hopped off the ledge about to retire for the night when a pink laser flew by where she was just sitting at. She froze, her eyes bugged out knowing if she was there another second, she would have been dead.
"Are you ok?!" April asked moving as another one was fired, barely missing her as well.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kara said giving her a reassuring smile and looked down at the building hearing Mikey yell "Ahhhhh, they're everywhere! Ruuuunnnn!" Kara clenched her fists wanting to help so badly but knew, without a weapon, she wouldn't be much help specially with robots; she'd break her hand if she tried.
"I don't care what Leo says, I'm going to help them!" Metalhead hopped up on the ledge and jumped to the building, falling through the cement and in the middle of the battlefield.
Offering April a ride home to let the turtles take care of it, knowing, trusting, Donnie would prevail in the end.
After waving goodnight to April she headed home and sat on the couch, showered and pjed while flipping through the channels. Deciding to play a game she put on a Karaoke like game and put on her favorite song "Young and Beautiful" by Lana Del Rey.
"I've seen the world. Done it all. Had my cake now.
Diamonds, Brilliant. In Bel Air now.
Hot summer nights, mid July.
When you and I were forever wild.
The crazy days, city lights.
The way you'd play with me like a child."
As she sang the chorus while swaying to the song the balcony door slowly crept open.
"See? Just like I said." Mikey said while Raph had him in a headlock.
"Good boy." He grinned but stared in awe along with Donnie and Leo as they heard her sing. Donnie's face turned pink as he stared, stars shining around her as she sang. "Beautiful.." He thought but blinked seeing Mikey creeping up on her.
"Wait!" Leo hissed but stopped seeing Kara wasn't singing anymore as the song finished. He noticed her shoulder's trembling and gulped able to see a vein popping out of her head.
"I thought I told you...to shower before entering here!" She yelled while tackling Mikey to the ground before he could to her causing him to scream like a little girl. She had his head in a headlock while dragging him to the bathroom. "And don't come out till the raw sewage smell is gone!" She slammed the door and turned around to close the balcony door but blinked seeing the other three and blushed. "Oh...he-hey guys! I didn't see you there!" She rubbed the back of her head but quickly covered her nose. "Ugh, sorry guys but you have to bathe too so two of you go and join Mikey." Before they could protest she held up her hand. "There's a separate shower and a large tub to fit two of you, now get!" She yelled, pointing at the bathroom as Leo and Raph rushed in not wanting to be tackled like Mikey was. She sighed and leaned against the doorway while Donnie stayed outside, respecting her rule, til the bathroom was ready for him to use.
"You have a nice place." He started, getting a quick peek inside.
"Yeah, it has its perks." She shrugged, blushing while playing with a lock of her hair.
"You sing beautifully..." He said, twiddling his thumbs while blushing as well.
She looked at him and gave him a small smile. "Thank you. I can also play the electric and acoustic guitar. It's one of the talents I got from my dad." She blinked, hearing yelling and splashing in the bathroom and knew they were going to leave her a mess to clean up. "H-How did it go with the Kraang?"
He looked down sadly as he told her Metalhead was taken over and had to be destroyed.
"Aww, I liked him. He was cute." She pouted.
"Not as cute as you.." he whispered causing her to turn her head.
"Did you say something?" She blinked as he waved his hands in front of him giving her a weak smile.
"Who, me? Oh no, no. I didn't" He saw the boys walk out of the bathroom shiny and new and hopped over to the bathroom for his turn.
"Wow guys. You really clean up nicely!" She laughed and began to show them around.
When Donnie came out of the bathroom, clean, they started having a blast. She showed them all kinds of different games, specially DDR! The guys were having so much fun, it made her happy. She yawned softly sitting on the couch while Raph and Leo were battling each other in DDR, Mikey was raiding her fridge and Donnie was looking through her game and movie collection. She hugged one of the couch pillows and laid her head against the arm of the couch watching the boys through closing eyelids till she fell asleep.
While Raph shouted in victory at winning Donnie noticed Kara asleep on the couch and hushed them all, pointing at her.
They nodded and Donnie picked her up blinking in surprise at how heavy she felt despite her slim appearance but took her to what he assumed was her bedroom. There was a large bed in the middle with a large walk-in closet where her dresser was, a desk with a laptop, books, and two guitars leaning against the desk and next to the door was an entertainment center with an Xbox and Wii along with a TV and radio. He gently laid her in bed, covering her with the blankets and bent down, kissing the top of her head smiling down at her. He blushed softly realizing what he did but noticed she smiled in her sleep making him smile more before slowly closing the door. They turn everything off and leave for the night one thought in his mind as they head home. "I can't believe I kissed her!"
