Awkward || Rise! Donatello x OC

7 Day on the Town

Opal got ready for the day while listening to music on her record player. She chose to wear an oversized black knitted sweater with a star pattern on the front. She wore it as a dress as it reached her mid-thighs and paired it with some fishnets and put on her mary janes with some matching leg warmers. She tied her hair up into a half ponytail with a star clip and added matching jewelry before grabbing a purse and filling it with her essentials. She was doing her makeup when she heard a knock on her window as usual. She opened it for Donnie and welcomed him in while she walked back to her desk and finished her makeup.

"Are you ready to spend the day digging through piles of garbage and avoiding a savage mantis cat?" Donnie asked, referring to their plans. He had invited her to go to Repo Mantis Salvage to gather supplies.

"Hell yeah!" She said, smiling at him through the mirror. She finished her makeup quickly and turned around to see him staring at her. He blushed and looked away, making her grin. She stood up from her seat and walked over to where he sat on her bed. She offered him a hand and they climbed out the window together. They later arrived at Repos but before they went in Donnie stopped Opal.

"Please stay close, ok? Repo is not a nice guy and we have to be careful. Oh! And don't forget to use hand sanitizer," Donnie said, handing her a pocket-sized bottle.

"Okey dokey!" Opal said, taking it and dropping it into her purse. The two walked into the salvage yard and began scavenging for parts. Opal wasn't sure really what they were looking for because Donnie never mentioned what he needed parts for, so she spent the majority of her time following him around and playing with the random junk she found.

Donnie had his goggles on and was looking through piles for something mystic. He found a couple of useful engine parts but he was struggling to find what he was looking for. He turned to Opal who was hitting her Juul while playing with some scrap metal. When he looked at her his goggles picked up major mystic energy. 'What? That's impossible...' He taught. He paused for a moment before putting them on top of his head and walking to her.

"Hey Opal?" he asked and she turned to look at him.

"Yes?" She replied.

"What do you know about the mystic world?" He asked subtly, trying to learn more.

"Just what you've told me, sorry if I'm not much help..." She answered guiltily rubbing the back of her neck.

"No, no it's not that. I was just curious because I never really asked," Donnie reassured her.

"What exactly are we looking for?" She asked.

"There's a certain mystic metal that I need for an experiment. It's the same kind that I used to make my googles actually. I was hoping there would be some discarded here, but I suspect I may have to go to the hidden city to get it," He said disappointed.

"Can I come with?" She asked hopefully.

"Umm, maybe... I don't know if it's really the safest place for a human," He pondered the thought, but his focus was broken when he was met by her pleading eyes. "Fine, let's just stop by the lair first," He gave in immediately, making her cheer happily. "Come on, better get going before we run into Repo," Donnie said, putting an arm around her while they walked.

He glanced down at her, she was paying little attention to where she was going and instead letting him guide her, seemingly lost in her thoughts as usual. He thought about the mystic energy he saw, I was like a red aura surrounding her, fiery and violent. He tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe his goggles just malfunctioned... no, no, not possible.

Later on, Opal and Donnie made it to the lair and walked into his lab. Donnie opened up a cabinet and pulled out a box and set it on the table in front of Opal. She watched as he pulled out children's knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet.
