"Now for what you really wanted to know…just why you are here…"

Donnie was nudged by something from behind; a glance would clarify just what it was. Ah, a rifle. Got to love the military.

Always so subtle.

He took the hint and began to move down the corridor to a more secluded portion of the lab, Agent Bishop at his side.

After a moment, Bishop continued.

"As is painfully clear to any simpleton, you and your brothers are…unique."

Donnie didn't even look his way.

Duh, next please?

Bishop motioned to a metal chair with a grouping of very angry chains and wires connected to it.

Joy.

Oh, Bishop was still talking, yet Donnie's eyes never left that chair, even as it was indicated that he should sit in it.

"Adrenaline is a hormone that is secreted by the adrenal gland. It has been known to give frantic mothers the ability to lift automobiles off of children who are pinned."

Donnie flinched inadvertently as the cold metal connected with his own flesh. He may be cold blooded but he was far warmer then the uncaring metal he now sat upon. He watched Bishop carefully. He knew Donnie's understanding of science, why was he showing off?

Or was he simply buying time?

His wrists were unshackled if only long enough to bind them tightly to the arms of the chair. A steady whirl of armed weapons kept any attempt at bay. His eyes still locked on Bishop as he felt his legs given the same treatment as his writs.

"Such a sudden burst of energy would prove effective if not priceless in certain situations."

Like war games.

Why not just come out and say it?

"With such unique attributes your brother's adrenaline has proved 129 more powerful than that of a typical human. All while he was unconscious. Now you can see the importance of your consciousness in the tests that follow"

Donnie's eyes moved from Bishop for the first time, toward a young man.

He looked like he tried to emulate every micro movement that was natural to Bishop.

Oh, a fan boy.

Delightful.

It wasn't the boy who attracted his attention, rather what he carried in his right hand. A injection syringe and the same vile fluid that he had seen forced into his brother's veins. Despite himself he tired the restraint on his right arm. The whirl of weapons climbed and Bishop spoke.

"I would not try that, your brother did."

Donnie's eyes cut to Bishop.

Mikey.

"Your brother actually managed to land an attack."

Donnie grinned, go Mikey!

As the man got closer he could see a nasty bruise on his cheek.

"Of course, I couldn't permit him to keep the arm after he did so."

Donnie's heart stopped, his eyes toward a gurney that Bishop motioned toward. What ever was on it was covered, but it was stained red. It was to small to be a body, but…

Bishop spoke again.

"Of course, the best way to obtain such an intense burst of adrenaline is…fear. Mr. Thompson."

A sharp point of pain in his upper arm and Donnie yelped, his eyes had been on the gurney, he had not seem Thompson get so close.

It was suddenly very hard to breath as his pulse screamed in his ears. Donnie lashed out against the restraints but the movements were not of his own choice. His body was trying to escape the pain that now surged through his tired body.

Bishop was smirking as he approached the gurney he had been watching.

The drug took effect and the gray began to cloud his vision, despite his efforts to cling to his surroundings.

Just before he was engulfed by pain and darkness Donnie could see Bishop pick up something…

While Bishop chided.

"Say goodbye to your brother, Michelangelo"

And he could of sworn he saw Mikey's hand wave to him

Sorry it took so long to get around to Donnie's fear but we will find out his greatest fear in the coming chapters.

What do you think of Bishop using the Turtles adrenaline to harness a new drug for his super soldiers?

Believable?

I hope so.

Thanks for everyone who has reviewed.
