A/N: Hehe...I hate people. I got to school quarter to eight, and I didn't get to leave until seven. I was there for almost twelve hours! And I get to do it again tomorrow and all of next week! *headdesk*
Anyway, I'm gonna try to talk one of my friends into posting for me next week while I'm doing that stuff (*mutters about actors and how they should be most prepared*)...But for now, here's this.
I'm amazed at the response this has gotten so far! I mean, I literally hate every other chapter up until chapter twenty-five because of Andrea! So the fact people are enjoying this, I am astonished and I love y'all!
to Heather: ...I'm not going to answer that where everyone can read. If you want, you can contact me some other way (I have a list of links in my profile), and then I'll answer.
"Away!"
Leo turned away from the TV at the rare sound of Don's voice to see him with a few metal things while scooting away from Mikey.
Oh boy, there was no way this could end well.
"Mikey, leave him alone!"
"He won't play!"
Leo let out a sigh at the youngest. How did their father deal with this?
"Didn't Father talk with you about this the other day?" As expected, Mikey shook his head, then continued pestering the turtle in purple.
What happened next, neither of them expected.
"DONATELLO!"
Leo immediately leaped off the couch and quickly worked at trying to stem the blood flow from Mikey's nose courtesy of a piece of metal thrown by Don.
"What?"
Leo took a deep breath and counted to five before letting it out, just as Father had taught him to do if he became frustrated with one of his brothers-which happened more than he would like to admit.
"Why did you throw that at Mikey?"
"Bothering."
Leo let out another breath at how simply Don said that. It was as if he truly didn't understand what was so wrong about what he had done.
Their father once told Leo that Don most likely had mutated differently than the others, which caused him to have problems thinking like they did.
Despite that, Leo often hoped that Donnie would someday be "normal".
A/N: Did I mention I hate this chapter? I'm insanely proud of the last one, but this one...
Everything will be explained at some point. With what I headcanon about Don, there just tends to be a bit of apathy involved sometimes, so...
Two little notes: the puzzle piece had a double symbolism, and Leo actually becomes the first to learn about what's going on. That doesn't happen until the 21st though...
Bye, see y'all tomorrow!
