~Donnie’s POV~
I check the heart monitor and the IV stand again, making sure she's not low on fluids while Chase checks and rewraps some of her bandages. There are none on her left hand.. weird. But when we cleaned her off, she had no injuries on her left arm anyway.
" DON? What are we making for food? " Mikey asked me
" Uh..Chase? Do you want anything in particular? " I ask him.
He shakes his head no.
" Anything, Mikey. " I say back to Mikey.
" So I can make the thing that Leo wanted us to try? "
" N O. " Chase says, with a menacing tone.
" How about we have pizza "
" Sure. "
~ A few days later ~
I walk into the ' hospital room ' to do my usual there but walk in the room to find Rye sitting on the bed while Jax makes tea.
" Oh, hey Don! She's awake! Sorta. She needs caffeine though. " Jax smiles.
Rye just nods, apparently not at the moment.
Jax walks over to Rye with the cup and hands it to her
“ Drink it, but don't burn yourself. ”
" Thank you. " Rye says, smiling calmly.
Rye takes a small sip and places it on the bedside table.
“ BREAKFAST IS DONE!! ” Mikey yells from the kitchen.
Rye quickly covers her ears, appearing to not like the yelling.
“ Mikey. You don't have to yell. Plus not everyone is awake yet. ” Jax says calmly walking out of the room.
Rye uncovers her ears.
“ Sorry, I thought everyone was up already. ”
I take a glance at Rye since she probably isn't able to get up right now. She appears just fine, fiddling with her fingers.
“ Don? Can you wake everyone up? ” Jax asks, poking his head into the room
" What about her? " I say.
“ I will take care of her. ”
" If you say so. "
I walk out of the room to wake everyone up.
~Rye’s POV~
Jax walks up to me and sits down on the chair next to the bed.
I tilt my head and give him a look like " What? ".
“ Okay, so I know this place isn't what you would be used to… maybe, I don't know. Also, I am sorry that you woke up to me checking your temperature ”
" It's fine. And I'm used to a lot of white and bright yellow sooo… "
“ I don't know if that would be considered good or bad but alright, anyway, so you can talk, can you get up or walk at all? Can you stretch your wings, can you feel your wings, can you fly, levitate anything? ”
" I can't walk right now, my blood vessels are cut off right now. I can stretch this one. " I stretch my good wing, the one that's not bandaged. " I can feel both, surprisingly, and I can't fly or levitate without both wings. " I say simply.
“ right, stupid question. Does this hurt? ” he asks, feeling the wing that is in bandages, as he is taking a look at it, Chase walks in.
I flinch at the sudden shock of pain.
“ Oh my god. I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you… *unknown words* ”
" Oh, hey Chase! " I wave. " Also you're good. "
“ *swears in French* ”
" Why the hell are you cursing in French? "
“ you know French? ffffffffuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk ”
" Yeah? I thought everyone knew. "
" People from Heaven, Hell, and The Verses know all languages. They are taught when they enter. " Chase says.
“ oh lord,” Jax says, “ Well I won't be saying that anymore then ”
" Anyways… "
“ Do you want me to bring your food to you or you to your food? ” Jax asks, getting back to the topic
" Doesn't fucking matter, as long as I get food. "
“ mkay… I will bring your food to you, and is it alright if I eat here with you? ”
" I don't care. I don't even know where the hell I am. "
“ You're in the New York sewers ”
" NEW YORK? ISN'T THAT ON EARTH THOUGH? "
“ Y-yeah… uhh why did you say it like that? ”
" Last thing I fucking remember I was fighting another demon. IN HEAVEN! "
“ I fought a demon once as well… I fought it on earth though, it was a very brutal fight and I almost lost… that was like 2.. 5 years ago though ”
" Yeah. Demons are not very kind to humans… and angels due to the fact that the Devil was an angel once. "
" I'm not human though, anyway I'm going to grab your food now "
" Mk… "
Jax leaves, and Don comes back in. Then Chase leaves me alone… sorta.
" Soo… uh… how are you? Sorry, I can't start conversations that well- " I stutter.
" No, it's okay. I can't either. But I'm fine. What did Jax even do after I left? " Don asks, sitting in the guest chair.
" Asked if I could walk, if I could feel my wings. "
" So the usual asking of questions "
" Yup. Basic sh¡t. "
" so… why did he leave you? "
" He went to get me food since I can't move. "
" Okay "
I hear some small beeps.
Sh¡t! Why does it have to run out right now! I think to myself, putting my left arm under my blanket.
" What was that beeping? "
" What beeping? "
" I'm back with the food- I can feel the awkward silence from here, " Jax says as he walks in
" Hehe… yeah… " I say, nodding
" Well… I have to go somewhere so I can't eat with you, but I'm sure if you want Don can stay with you while you eat "
" Uh-huh. "
" Alright, here is your food," he says as he hands me the plate
" Th-Thanks. " I say shakily, almost dropping the plate.
" Careful there "
" It's okay. We're okay. "
" good. Well I really have to go now, I'll see you guys when I get back "
" Alright? "
~Jax's POV~
I walk out of the room, I'm about to go to the surface when Leo walks up to me
"Hi! " Leo says in a cheerful tone.
" Hi~ what's up? "
" Not much, what about you? "
" I was about to head to work. " I say with a smile.
" Aw. I was gonna ask you on a date, but okay. " Leo says, pouting.
" You can come with me and we can go on a date after I finish~ "
" Yes! " He says, pumping his arm up and down.
" Calm down and follow me, it's daytime so we have to be careful. " I say, grabbing his arm.
" Okay… " He drags on.
I put my hood over my head and dragged him to the surface area that I went through, no one was around, per usual. This is going to be the first time any of the turtles find out what I do for work… I hope he doesn't ask too many questions.
" Where are we going? "
" my job, an orphanage. "
" I didn't think that you liked working with kids? "
" Yeah, I grew up with lots of kids and I had to take care of them a lot. "
" Alright… "
" Yeah, it's the one place you won't be looked at weirdly. "
" Okay? "
" Yeah, they like my tail. And no one works while I do so no one knows. "
" Oh. "
" Yeah, what did you think I did to hide this? "
" Because people think people like us are freaks, I dunno? "
" Yeah… they do but the kids love my tail. "
" Mmm. "
" You miss my tail, don't you? "
" Yeah… It's floofy… "
" I'm sorry, I don't want more people fangirling over my tail, but you can while we're on our date today and tonight if you want to come with me. "
" Oki! "
" Okay, here we are. "
" Woah… "
" Cool right, anyway let's head inside. "
" Okay! "
We walked into the building and like normal, the kids jumped on me, they then asked who was with me.
" This is Leo! He's a good- " I start but then realize that he did ask me on a date, so do I consider him my good friend anymore? " He is a friend that may or may not become more. "
" You're gay? " A teen asks me.
" I- uhhh that doesn't concern you, he is going to join me today while I work so be nice and no fighting with others, especially you, Razi. " I warn him.
" Whatever. " Razi huffs, going back to his books.
I look over to Leo and smile at him
" Mr. Jax. Are you going to leave us if you start dating him? " Rosemary asks me.
" Why would I do that? Hanging out with you guys is my favorite part of the day. "
" 'Cause you would be spending more time with him than us… We don't want that to happen. Mr. Razi is nice, and we like playing Castle with him, but we also like playing with you! "
" I know that. That's why I would never let anyone take the time I hang out with you guys away from me "
" Oh, alright! " Rosemary giggles, then goes back to coloring her picture.
I take Leo's hand and introduce him to the children
~Razi's POV~
Jax is back. Ugh. I don't really like him. Making me stick to the rules… the only reason I'm doing this is to get out of the grasp of my always-fighting parents. It's usually about bills, and always ends up with one of the yelling " Maybe if you weren't like this she would still be alive! " By ‘she’ they mean my dead twin sister. She died during birth, making me an only child till my brother was born.
" Mr. Razi, I think someone is going to walk in, look," Sara says, pointing outside
" Oh. I'll go to the front desk. I think Jax is busy right now. " I say blandly
A lady walks in and looks around and talks to some of the kids, usually they walk to the counter first and then go to the kids after they talk to me… weird, oh well. I take this time to relax a bit… Then I fall asleep. Then I woke up to the woman screaming, " WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T ADOPT YOU? I'M LOOKING FOR A CHILD THAT I CAN SPOIL BUT OLD ENOUGH THAT THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES! "
" Ma'am calm down. You can't adopt me because I work here, the oldest child here that you can adopt is Sally, she is 16 years old "
" Hmm… fine. Does she have her driver's license? "
" She knows the rules of the roads but none of the kids have them, you can get it for her though "
" Hmm. That will be the first thing we will do then. "
" Alright, go talk to Razi, he is the one at the counter. I will get Sally ready to go "
The woman comes up to me, and I hand her the paperwork and explain where to sign.
" Alright, so Sally is allergic to these things," Jax says, handing her a paper
" She has allergies? "
" Yes. Her allergies are not that terrible though so you don't have to worry that much "
She finishes signing the papers and takes Sally
I walk to the break room and grab some coffee. The new guy that Jax brought in is in here, watching or scrolling on his phone.
" What's your name? " I ask him
" Oh, uh, Leo. What's yours? " He stutters, probably not expecting me to talk to him.
" Razi, how do you know Jax? Do you live with him or something? "
" Uh… no. We've been friends for a couple of years. "
" And you want to be more? "
" U-uhhhhhhh. "
I think I broke him. Oh well, not my problem. Jax's problem with bringing his boyfriend here. I think and shrug.
Just as I think about him, he shows up. Great
" Hey guys, Jayla is here so I'm heading home, I have things to get done "
" Can I come with you guys? "
" We are going on a date, any other day I might have said yes but I'm sorry "
" Oh... it's fine. I'll ask one of my other non-existent friends. " I say, grabbing my stuff and heading out the door.
