Donnie awoke from his sleep by a violent beeping sound coming from his alarm clock, which was right beside him.

he lifted his arm trying to find the snooze button or any button to make the wretched noise stop

he couldn't find it, this really annoyed him it seems as if it were giving him a headache from every beep it made. after forever searching for any button at all to stop the incoherent beeping he knocked the alarm clock off his dresser. he knew he would regret it later but now he didnt care as long as it was quiet now

he sat up in his bed feeling more groggy than ever, tiredly, he got up and tied his bandana on, put on his goggles, arm and knee pads, feet and arm coverings, the digital wrist computer that seemed to always be on his arm,and lastly his shell protector. how could he ever forget it?, for he thought he was useless and weak without it.

he wished that he could just stay in the nice comforts of his bed all day and not worry about any problem that may happen today.

he heard his brothers voices in the other room, slowly adjusting to being awake, he wondered how long he'd been sleeping, on what time it was

he looked at the cracked alarm clock on the floor, it read '10:13'

"10:13!?, damn it."

he left his room slowly and zombie-ish, still very tired he saw his rat father on his chair watching television "finally awake i see now, purple" splinter said when he spoted his second son walking out of his room.

donnie did not answer, he made his way down to the kitchen where his brothers were chatting along, tied up in a conversation, eating.

again donnie said no words he just grabbed an apple from the fridge, and silently ate it, taking no mind of what his brother were doing, wanting no part of the conversation for he felt tired enough as is. He wasn't looking in his other 3 siblings directions but he could feel their gaze meeting his cold ignorance but Donnie knew one of them will break the sweet silence he was right when the oldests voice broke the tension "mornin don! how did you sleep?"

a soft and quiet response took a few seconds to splurt out, "im fine raph"

it send chills up the others spines. none of them knew how to start a conversation with donnie. it WAS... donnie after all. there was no way to start a conversation with him.

Donnie hated that

Donnie hated how his brothers always acted towards him. He hated how they acted like donnie would carry a knife with him and in the middle of the night hold it to their throats while they slept, in short, like he was to be scared of... okay MAYBE he kind of would do that but that was like far in the back of his possibilities... Maybe. But he hated it how they saw him as if he were a deadly thorn on a rose bush, that if were to come in contact with would cause an immediate game over. Were they really that scared of him?... the answer he wanted or needed was uncertain.

He finished his apple and threw it in the garbage, walking away trying to make little to no contact with anyone for he was no in the mood

Donnie went into the direction of his lab wondering if he could serve a small purpose there. he turned on the lights, which were a dim faded purple but vision was still usable there Donatello let out a stressed and tired sigh, and sat down at his desk where sat his tech, paper including the blueprint ones along with screwdrivers, a pencil aslong as a sharpener at the edge, he waved his hand slowly over the materials, feeling the nice cold feeling of the paper for it hasn't been touched for hours

he closed his eyes admiring the dead and cold silence of his lab, besides all the gear and tech he left out another tired sigh.

Donnie loved his alone time but... it does kind of get lonely with just himself and maybe boring from time to time

Donnie shook his head. How could he think that? Now is not the time to be lazy. He needs to go to work.... but on what? there was so much to get done but he was struck on what he should do. if only his brothers could help him figure this out.

'no... Don't ask for help... you don't need it.' Donnie thought to himself pushing the pens and pencils aside in the process, he thought no...he KNEW if he asked his brother for help, for anything! they would change their view of him to weaker than they already think

so in this case...

no asking for help.

He hunched his back over and began working... hmmm... maybe his battle shell could use a few more upgrades... it wouldnt hurt to add some more things to it i think? the question made donnie think for a few moments bringing a screw driver to his battle shell. taking out the screws and opening the back, revealing wires, chip cards, and a lot more tech stuff

'where to start...' Donnie thought to himself. Not even being a question... Did he know what he even wanted to add? maybe some more protection?

no....

For some reason... The fact that donnie had no idea what to do with his tech made him mad... he threw the screw driver across the room in a fit before letting out a huge sigh. He never really did like it when he didn't know what to do, he never liked it at all actually... he was supposed to be the family's brains, the tech guy, you know a person they need to go to if they needed something fixed.

All the stress that Donnie had was soon pushed to the side when he heard a huge "BANG" right on his lab door making Donnie get up and rush to the door to open it, almost tripping on the way. when donnie opened the door he didnt have time to say 'what' or 'hi' instead he was swooped of his feet by his older brother, Raph who was in a hurry

Raph ran with Donnie in his arms all the way to the turtle tank and in that moments rush raph practically threw donnie in the tank

"Raph what are you doing?!" Donnie hissed slightly, getting back up and sitting in a chair

"Pops said we could go topside!" Raph said it with excitement as Leo and Mikeys his other brothers hopped in after them. Donnie let out another huge sigh

nothing like starting out the day like getting dragged out of your comfort zone......

-sorry this is short but this is the end of the chapter! I'll be working on the next one soon
