Hi there! I'm out of school today so I'm writing this chapter early!
Now like I said in the previous chapter, scientific and biological explanations shall be fabricated in later chapters (Not obvious things, but different body parts or chemicals.) My only reason for this is because Iori is an extraterrestrial, and anything that she's used to or has can be explained though almost anything. So to make it more Sci-Fi, I will both write my own explanations and receive theories from readers! (If you guys want to write theories, anyway.) I'll be sure to give you credit and I can't wait for the cool stuff you guys send me. I might also put in other projects I have in mind.
Now this chapter is going to be like a little, short filler to get to know Iori better. With all that said, enjoy your reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT series but I have made the OC's. I don't like to say 'own' because I feel like a creepy master…

Donnie walked over to his metal desk, jotting down notes on his clipboard. Iori watched him as he sat across from her, placing the clipboard on his lap. He examined his scribbles a bit more, adjusting his glasses between lines. He then cleared his throat, gaining Iori's attention, and tapped his pen on the edge of the board. "Now, Miss Nyeki," Donnie started, "Although you've given us enough information to please, I still feel the need to question you a little more in order to gain more info on you and your lifestyle." Iori blinked, her lifestyle wasn't that much excitement. Well, if you don't count the traveling across the stars part as excitement.
Donnie quickly glanced over his notes, "First things first. Because you are staying with us for four weeks, it would be nice if you could tell me just some health and safety precautions you might need us to know."
Iori thought for a second, "Well I guess I could talk about my diet. Shenzians like me exert a lot of energy, even if we're not in motion," Donnie began writing, "because of this; I require a lot of carbohydrates, lipids, and protein. They make up most of my diet, but of course vegetables and fiber help too."
"Care to name any food you usually eat?"
"Hmm…I guess I can say candies, calktam, sinjou, kazuya..."
Donnie stopped writing, "calktam and kazu-what?"
"My bad, forgot to explain that those are basically what you call beef, chicken, and pork here." Iori scratched the back of her head, "I also eat seafood, grains, and starches too, but they're sort of nutrition. I guess you can say I can eat all the good stuff." She waited for Donnie to laugh at her joke, but as she saw he continued writing, she sighed and sat further in her seat. "Are there any dishes you're familiar with?" Donnie asked. "I'm not familiar with some dishes in America, but I do know some from Japan. I'll research on some later. I need to learn what to make you guys, right?" Donnie looked up at Iori only for a short time before looking back down on his clipboard. "Diet is good, how about health?"
"Well, I guess you already know about my purple blood, so that's not something I have to explain. I regenerate from an injury pretty quickly, but high voltage electricity can leave some damage. I have to be careful of severe head, neck, and spinal damage, oh and drowning; pretty much the same as a human, but with way more damage intake." Donnie looked up from his clipboard, "Are there any abilities we should know about? I mean, it's not every day we find an extraterrestrial in our lair."
Iori had to think about that. When she meets people for the first time, she tends to be a bit of a show off when showing her 'abilities'. She liked to have people in awe, and a question like this would possibly blow that whole thing. "Not any that you need to know of…yet."
Donnie was puzzled for a moment and adjusted his glasses,
"Explain."
This took Iori aback. Usually when she declined, people didn't bother her about it. This one, however, wanted to know everything. It's understandable, she's a stranger and he wants to know if he can keep his family safe. Nonetheless it surprised her. 'I think I might like this one,' she smirked internally.
"Not much to explain, Donatello. There's nothing I can do that can put you in harm's way (lie.) The only thing you should know right now is that I have strength about seven times more than a human, can run and jump really fast, have super hearing, fangs and…uh…" She tapped her head, "I'm a fast learner. Pretty much a super human." She smiled then quickly gasped, "Oh and I have been trained in various fighting techniques, so in case someone else comes in here and wants trouble, I can totally kick their ass." Donnie chuckled lightly; she spoke like his elder brother.
He placed the clipboard back onto the desk and stood. Iori watched him rise up; she didn't notice he was the tallest brother. She also noted that he was a pointdexter, though it wasn't a bad thing, she liked pointdexters. She also found it very responsible of him to gather information from her, rather than just letting her stroll around and cause mayhem. If she didn't know any better, she would've thought he was the eldest brother, and the alpha. She pushed that idea in the back of her head when she stood up and followed Donnie out of the lab.

That was the filler chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. As I said earlier, I would like to receive some theories on different things about Iori and the turtles, just so I can make the story better. In the future, I'm also going to be writing her language, like 'calktam' and such. Don't worry, I'll translate it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, toodles~
