Draxum's Twins AU Snippets #15
TW: brief mention of blood
Donnie shakily held up his bo staff at two turtles - Mikey and Raph. He hadn't known his supposed "long lost brothers" very long, but it was enough to show him that he wanted what they had.
A loving father who actually cared about them and didn't treat them as toy soldiers. Or, a stable home that didn't smell like chemicals and blood.
Why couldn't he and Leo have that-?
"Donnie," Raph slowly approached him, his hands held up in the air. Behind him, Mikey watched with wide eyes. As the snapping turtle drew closer, Donnie focused his weapon at him, his finger hovering over the button that would trigger its activation. "Put the weapon down. You don't want to do this."
He's right, Donnie thought to himself. I don't.
But, what choice did he have?
"Just give me the piece of the mystic armor, Raphael," Donnie demanded, harshly; emotionlessly. Just like Draxum taught him.
"We can talk about this, D," Mikey piped up, forcing a small smile on his face. "You don't have to do this-"
"Yes, I do!" Donnie screamed. His weapon shook in his hands, and he forced himself to grip it tighter. "If I don't, Draxum'll-"
Raph paused, his plastron practically at the tip of Donnie's tech bo. The snapping turtle slowly reached out to Donnie. "He'll-?"
"He'll kill Leo," Donnie swallowed hard, and he glared up at Raph. "And, I can't let that happen."
Swiftly, Donnie pressed the button on his bo, the weapon transforming into a mallet. Before Raph could react, Donnie swung it into the snapping turtle's side.
