It's Okay To Be Different | TMNT Donnie X OC Love Story

that was a bad idea

Maya tightened her lips and made a strangled noise as Mikey squeezed the life out of her.

"M...Mikey. I can't breathe. MIKEY!"

Mikey released his grip and sparkled his puppy eyes at her. "I'm sorry! You just look so cute and I love you so much!"

"Mmm...!" Maya continued to make her strained noises of anxiousness. "So you like it?"

"Why wouldn't I? You're like the cutest thing in the world!"

"Gross, you guys!" Raph sneered, making a gagging motion. "You guys are so lovey dovey, it's sickening. At this time of day, too..."

"Mehh," Maya mocked. "Shut up Raph."

"Hey! What'd you say to me?!"

The ship shook, as if Raph's anger caused the stir.

"Hang on everyone! We're going to crash!" It was Fugitoid from the nearby control room, who seemed to be in a panic.

The vehicle tossed and turned, the turtles feeling a strange sense of deja vu as they crashed.

When everyone awoke, Fugitoid helped to guide the teens off the ship with their space gear on. Iris had been given a last minute space suit as well, which was accented in a gray color. The moon they were on was freezing. A rise of smoke signaled someone else crashed along with them.

"We only have a limited power supply left." Honeycutt announced. "But there's some irrilium up ahead. We'll need to get it before everything goes out. If the power stops, we may die on this moon."

"Great pep talk, Fugitoid." Raph groaned.

"I'm so cold!" Maya flailed her arms around.

Raziel watched everyone shiver in pain. It took him a minute to realize why he himself wasn't cold. "Oh." He removed his shirt. His chest held faint pinkish scars underneath his pectorals. With the black garment in his grasp, he handed it to Donatello. "Here. I know reptiles are cold blooded."

"Th-thanks."

Jophiel subtly handed Raziel her sweater, since she had some layers of clothing. "Decency, Raz."

Raziel's hair fluffed up like an upset cat. "Leave me alone, Jophy!"

As Leo led the way up the mountain, Iris began spacing out. Taking a good look at their new environment, they seemed to be lost around the constant white. It felt like a more solid version of the sea, and they hated it. Why did everything remind them of that stupid place? As they dragged behind, a wall of metal bumped against their back.

"My apologies, Professor. I should take in my surroundings better."

"It's quite alright, Iris. Are you feeling cold? Is it hard for you to breathe? My hands can warm up if you need."

"It's cold? I didn't notice. Thank you for the offer, though."

Despite the handicap that Iris had and felt like they dragged the group down with, the Professor was always there to cheer them up. Iris smiled to themselves as they continued up the mountain with everyone else.
