the cut on your leg had started to heal but it was deeper than you thought; after some days you still had a slightly open injury.

that's why during training you tried to do less attacks and more defensive trick.

you still hadn't told anything to the others, not wanting to make them put you in the sidelines with everything that was happening up in the surface.

god why where you always so useless? always the one that ends up hurt. always the one that's a burden.

you shook your head to not get lost in your thoughts.

you were watching raph and leo do some more training, they had asked you if you wanted to fight with them but you had declined getting some confused glance thrown in your way.

still you set down near the wall, your pen and notebook in your hands as you hoped to get out of your art block.

you didn't.

you were getting really mad over this, ever since you had gone out to the surface you hadn't done a single drawing and it was making you crazy.

not for the drawing alone but for the fact that your millions of thoughts were blocking you even in something as simple as this.

luckily donnie came into the room stopping the brothers' training and your millions of questions.

he found you set in a corner and he gave his brothers a look that you didn't quite catch, they did a conversation with their eyes something along the lines of

'why isn't she training with you?'

'she didn't want to'

'why?'

'we don't know but she's acting real strange'

'so i'm not the only one that think so, interesti-'

"alright guys will you stop this 'brothers telepathy' thank you?" your voice interrupted their conversation.

leo and raph turned around to find you up in your feet with crossed arms.

you tilted your head as nobody dared to say anything and you rolled your eyes before opening your mouth.

"dee, did you needed something? what are you doing here?"

the realisation hit him and a smile came to his face at the idea of showing you his new creation.

"oh yeah, right! check it out, we are about to take our ninjutsu to a whole new level."

"cool." commented leo.

"last night, i figured out how to make ninja smoke bombs!" he screamed before showing you, he threw an egg to the floor and a purple smoke appeared before the same cloud appeared behind you with him in it.

"that's so crazy" you murmured speechless.

leo nodded with you while saying a 'wow' to compliment his brother.

"-now, to make 'em, i carefully drill two holes in an eggshell without cracking it, slowly blow out the contents, wait for the inside to dry, then pour in flash powder and seal both holes with wax." explained donatello only to be interrupted by you and raphael.

"blah, blah, science, blah."

"we don't care"

"do it again!" you both said together excitement filling you over.
