To recap on what happened on the last chapter, Donnie sparred Raph and won using what Master Splinter taught him.
This chapter is when April figures out the first ingredient in the ooze. Please, no flames.
Sorry about the delay folks, I couldn't think of anything to write for this chapter, but I eventually came up with this. That and that school is over in only two months, so I'm excited for that. So without further ado, here is chapter 7 of 'I Can't See'.
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT, but I wished I did.
One Month Later
Donnie was sitting on his spot on the couch, thinking; just thinking. Thinking about what could happen, thinking of what has happened, thinking of his inventions, thinking about his brothers, thinking about Master Splinter, etc. That was all he could do at the moment.
"DONNIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Mikey yelled looking for his immediate older brother. "I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME!"
"I'M OVER HERE MIKEY!" Don yelled back, trying to make Mikey quiet. Yelling and thinking at the same time just makes a headache. A minute after Don yelled back, Mikey was at his side.
"What do you need Mikey? You know I can only do so much being blind and all." Don asked, not wanting to upset the headache that he just got.
"Are you able to fix my skateboard? It split down the middle and the wheels are stuck." Mikey asked, and from his tone, Donnie figured that he was pouting.
"I guess, your skateboard should be easy enough to fix blindly. But can you lead me to my lab first? It may have been a month and a half since the incident, but I still bump into things, especially your things that you leave around." Donnie said while sighing in exasperation. 'I can never figure out how Mikey was able to leave so many things on the ground at one time. Sure he has Klunk, so there will be cat toys, but still.' Don thought while Mikey lead him to his lab.
"Here you go, and here is the skateboard. Do you need any help getting anything?" Mikey asked while handing the two pieces of his skateboard to Donnie. Mikey wanted to help all that he could for a change for Donnie's sake.
"Yeah, can you get the wood adhesive on the other side of the room? It's on top of the fan's turbines that have to be installed." Donnie said while feeling the board to make sure he doesn't mess up.
"Uh, the wah?" Mikey uttered completely confused. What was an adhesive and a turbine?
"*huff* The wood glue on the fan across the room Mikey." Donnie told Mikey, massaging his head in hopes to relieve his headache.
"Huh, Oh! On It!" Mikey exclaimed while running across the room to get the glue. Once he returned, Don gave him another order. "Now I need you to grab the lubricant beside the fan."
"Uh, do you mean the can that says "Carful, Do Not Spill or Ingest; very slippery and flammable. Keep away from children." Mikey inquired, carefully looking at the can.
"Yes Mikey, that's the can, now bring it here and leave, come back in half an hour and your skateboard should be good as new." Donnie said while waving for Mikey to leave.
Half an Hour Later
"DONNIE! ARE YOU DONE YET?! IM BORED!" Mikey exclaimed, rushing into the lab.
"Yes Mikey, your board is fixed, and you're always bored unless you're playing video games or watching T.V." Donnie informed while handing Mikey his now repaired skateboard. "Now leave me alone. But first, I need you to lead me back to the couch I was previously sitting on when you interrupted.
"Got it." Mikey said while dragging Don across the room.
Leo tapped on April's window this time to let her know he was here this time without giving her a heart attack.
"Come in Leo." April said while still working on her computer.
"How did you know it was me, we all tap on your window the same way when we want to." Leo inquired while sliding in the window.
"I knew it was you because it's always you who comes and checks up on me to see the progress that I am making. And that's not entirely true since Raph bangs on the window, Donnie will tap with his Bo – making an echo, Mikey does his differently every time, and finally, you tap on the window fairly lightly." April informed, still not looking away from her computer.
"Well then, since I learned something, I'm sure Donnie does too. So, how is the analyzing coming along?" Leo asked, really hoping for good news.
"Actually, I was able to crack one ingredient; Ammonium formate, which when heated, it eliminates water, forming formamide. Upon further heating it forms to Hydrogen cyanide and Water. A side reaction of this is the decomposition of formamide to Carbonic oxide and Ammonia." April explained
"Well at least you have one piece of the puzzle, goodnight April." And with that said, Leo left leaving April alone again.
"Master, a ninja has to tell you something." Hun said.
"Send him in." Shredder ordered, and a minute later the ninja came in. "What do you need to tell me that you had to tell me now without being ordered to."
"S-sir, April has figured out one in-ingredient in the ooze that was injected into t-the purple turtle kn-known as Do-Donatello." The ninja stuttered out, having to be the one to tell The Shredder the bad news.
"Do you know what ingredient she figured out? That can give us an estimate of how long before she finishes getting the rest of the chemicals." Shredder ordered.
"Y-yes, she figured out the Ammonium formate, s-sir." The ninja answered back.
"Ha! If it took her two months and a week to figure out the easiest ingredient, than that stupid turtle will be blind for many years to come!" Shredder exclaimed, quite happy of this news. "You may leave." Shredder spoke to the ninja. Once said, the ninja left.
Well here is the seventh chapter of 'I Can't See', hoped you enjoyed it and I will start working on the eighth chapter and hopefully get it uploaded by the end of the month. If not, review saying that I need to hurry. I won't hold it against you.
And if I were you, I would search up each of those chemicals to see what they do.
P.S – it has been two months and seven days since Don has been blind just so you know if anybody out there got confused.
Until then, bye.
