~ Chapter 17 ~

I sighed and wiped some sweat from my forehead. "Dang, how can Donnie do this? It's tiring."

April glance up from our machine. "I dunno, but at least we're doing something."

Irma pushed up her glasses. "According to these blueprints...the 'battery' of this machine is a ooze called mutagen."

I nodded. "You've seen my powers, right Irma?"

Irma nodded her head. "You were flying in the air when I discovered the turtles!"

"Well, the mutagen is what gave me those powers and what turned the turtles into mutant turtles."

Casey grunted. "So how is Red a mutant if she never got gooped?"

Donnie frowned. "She was born a mutant, Jones."

Casey stood up. "I know I said we were cool but I didn't know that, turtle."

"Oh, a wise guy!"

I made my katana appear. "Both of you better shut the shell up before this blade is sticking out both of your heads!" I snapped.

"Jeez, sorry." Casey grumbled and sat back down before continuing working on the machine.

"Hey, Nick?" April asked.

I glanced up from wiring some stuff. "Yeah?"

"Your voice...its different."

I shrugged. "I'm just talkin' like I should be."

Irma tapped her pen to her chin. "I think that red button goes...on the bottom...right?"

Donnie's eyes fell flat. "You're holding the paper upside down."

Irma's eyes shot open. "What? Ugh..."

April chuckled. "Are you half asleep again?"

She rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Huh? No..."

I smirked. "I think you meant 'Huh? Yeah...'."

Irma pouted. "I haven't had sleep in, like, almost five days!"

"Why?" Casey asked.

Irma blushed. "Well..."

Raph walked inside the Donnie's lab. "Mind if I borrow Nick for a sec?"

April nodded and smirked. "As long as you give her back."

I stood up and followed Raph as he went into the hall.

"What's up?" I asked.

He sighed. "That was a risky thing you pulled a few hours ago."

"What was?"

He crossed his arms. "Killing yourself. It didn't even cross your mind that I couldn't figure out your powers. I could've just freaked out."

"But you didn't!" I said.

"You seriously need to think things through."

I scoffed. "Me? You're sounding like Leo!"

Raph raised an eyebrow. "Your getting mad."

"No I'm not!"

"Yeah, you are. You just yelled at me!"

My face grew red. "I'm not mad!!"

Raph crossed his arms. "Okay, what's bothering you. Getting mad out of the blue ain't normal."

"Nothing is bothering me...honestly!"
