Jun 05, 2010 16:50

[Donny turns on the screen, looking very nervous.. and perhaps a bit afraid as he adjusts the communicator. When he's satisfied he straightens and glances just offscreen to where Raph is.] I.. I think I'm ready.

Come on Donny, ya can do this. [Raph says off camera, sounding a bit supportive.] Ya only have ta do this once.

[That earns a smile ( Read more... )

[As he listens Danny slowly blanches white as a ghost. he couldn't help but see all the similarities with his own dark future. He squeezes his eyes shut as he desperately tries to force the memories back down.

A home long abandoned, crippled by age and neglect. Valerie, ten years older and jaded by grief and suffering. Vicious in her attacks like he had never seen before. Trapped by a monster with his face. Tied up with ectoplasmic rope on the graves of his family and best friends.

He couldn't lose to this. He just couldn't. They were memories. As far as anyone else was concerned, none of that had ever happened.

And it was Don who needed help now. Don who needed support. Don who didn't need to know anything about his own private nightmare. He could handle it. He had to handle it. For everyone's sake.]

[Leo had been pacing while Donatello spoke, recalling the images he'd seen while holding the War Staff and his most recent visions when he touched his brother. It made it so vivid in his minds eye that he hadn't even noticed when he paused in front of the communicator. His arms folded protectively over his plastron and his gaze unfocused.

When the comm shut off he sighed tiredly. It was progress. It's what needed to happen...but it still felt like it wasn't enough. He rubbed his eyes.]

Now what...

[In a battle he could change plans or come up with strategies at the drop of a hat, but...with his brothers he- he couldn't think of what else to do. He was at a lose and it was something he hated feeling.]

...shell.

[Danny sank down lower against the wall he was leaned up against as he fought desperately to regain control of himself. He didn't have time for this! He couldn't break down now. Don and the other roommates could not see him like this. This was his problem. His alone.

His fault. His responsibility. Danny couldn't let anyone know. Don... His friend already had enough problems with his own bad future. This would just make him feel worse. Danny would handle this by himself, no matter what it took.]

[At least Donny had Raph with him for the moment, how ever long that might need to be. Straightening up, he gave a short sigh and moved towards the hall window. Minato and Mikey were in the living room...and Leo felt another weight on his shoulders. Mikey would not be taking this too well...Leo would be leaving his door unlocked for the next few nights. In case this brought anything back up.

For any one.

He slipped towards one of the windows, enjoying the slight breeze before starting to head towards the roof. Glancing into their upstairs apartment he paused. There was someone in there...but he had ever- Danny. Maybe he could ask the younger teen to keep and eye on Donny for him.

Slipping into the rooms he was about to call out when he spotted the boy.]

Danny?

[Danny jerks his head up warily from where he had been huddled against the wall. The teen's eyes were wide with alarm, and there was a definite pallor to his skin.]

[Leo pauses, remembering what happened when he'd woken Danny up a few nights before.]

Easy, it's me, Leo.

[The normal mask of calm and collected leader slips on and he kneels arm length.]

Come on, Danny. Snap out of it.

[Danny frowns darkly and roughly scrubs his face with the back of his hand.]

I... I'm fine. No problem. Nothing to worry about.

At least I didn't have to duck this time.

[There's a ghost of a smile, but it doesn't last long.]

What happened. Did something come after you?

[His playful response is automatic, but there isn't any real feeling behind it. It comes off as robotic, almost dead.]

I'm not that bad. Usually.

...No. I'm fine. Nothing happened. Nothing came after me.

[That's his third sign that something really is wrong.]

Danny, what happened. You look...like you saw a spirit.

[He's not hiding the fact that he's not buying it.]

[If it was possible for Danny to blanch any whiter he would be doing that right now. The boy tries to jump to his feet as his eyes flick warily around the room.]

Where? Where is it?

[Leo's eyes narrowed in confusion. He'd been exaggerating about how Danny looked before- now...he really did look like he had seen a ghost.]

Where's what?

[Danny continues looking around the room frantically.]

The ghost! You just mentioned a ghost! I have to stop it!

[Now Leo was really confused, but also starting to worry a lot more. As far as he could sense, there wasn't any ghosts in the room. Dangerous or otherwise.]

...Danny. There aren't any ghosts here. At least none that can be dangerous enough to stop.

*pause*

How would you stop a ghost anyways?

[No ghost? But... No. He hadn't said. Just a figure of speech. He knew that. But he'd allowed himself to panic over just the word. Because he had been thinking too much about that time. And because even if a ghost had been here he wouldn't have been able to feel it. What kind of hero was he?]

...So, you didn't mean it? There really isn't one here?

No. Just a figure of speech.

[He looked up at Danny, watching the panic in the boy's eyes. The stance that shouted he was ready for the unexpected. The feeling of doubt that suddenly came into the room.]

What's going on Danny.
