Abducted (rottmnt fanfic)

Progress

Shelldon's pov:

It had been a while since anyone had talked to me, they were focused on getting Donnie back and that was okay, and before that, they were focused on their missions, which was also okay. But now they needed my help, they needed me to help find Donnie. The card didn't look familiar, but I hadn't scanned it properly yet. "Where did you find that? Where's it from?"

"We found it near where Donnie was when he was taken, we know where he was when he was taken and this is a big clue to find out where he was taken to." Leo explained, sitting down in a chair that Donnie would usually sit in when talking to me. "We need you to analyze the card, find out anything you can about the person that owns this ID, the company they work for, anything you can find. Even if some information is no longer relevant, like if this is an old company brand and it was rebranded or if this is a pseudonym for someone. We just need to know anything we can."

"I can do that." I nodded slowly, looking at the card. It was probably going to be a little harder to scan than most cards since some companies like this really didn't like it when people figured out where it was from. Especially if it was a shady company like this. I started the scan, feeling gears turning in my head, and not in the metaphorical sense. Information started to pop into my field of vision almost immediately, information regarding the person, the location, everything. There was a lot of information missing though, there were no known locations, the website it was connected to was shady, the person didn't exist in anything but website records. This was definitely a fake name, the company apparently really didn't want to be found. They had rebranded and everything, it was fairly recent from what I could tell. "I found out what I could."

"Alright, I'm gonna write it down, gimme a sec." Leo scrambled around the lab, looking for something to write on and with, he clearly had forgotten Donnie's organization even though Donnie went over it meticulously with the group. Then again, when would Leo remember something like that? He soon sat down again, clicking a pen he'd found before putting it to a piece of paper. "I'm ready, hit me."

"Okay, it has a lot of past names, it rebrands so often that they have to recycle old names sometimes." I explained, assessing how to explain this in a way that wasn't just binary code. "They're working on rebranding again, so I can't figure out what their current name is. There aren't any locations this place is known to be at, the website's not really trustworthy, so I'm not clicking on any links on it so I don't get a virus, and this person doesn't exist in anything other than records on this website."

"We need to find out anything we can about this place. What are the previous names?" Leo asked, folding his arms while thinking.

"Well, one of them was-" I was going to explain, but an update came through into my mind.

"Was?" Leo urged me to continue, but I ignored that, refreshing the website. It had a new name finally, that was good to know.

"Their current name is Light Labs." I explained. "Not the most creative name, but if they rebrand all the time, the creativity of the name doesn't really matter."

"Light Labs, we can look for that." Leo seemed to brighten up at there being new information, he quickly wrote it down. "Do they have a logo?"

"It's just a sun, a moon, and a star." I showed the logo to him by making myself a projector for a few seconds. He looked at it, then sketched it onto the paper. "But if they have buildings, they probably won't be advertising that it's where they're staying. They seem to really value privacy and secrecy, so they won't hang up a billboard about it."

"I know, but any information is better than no information. If we find an updated badge, we'll be able to connect it to where Donnie might be. Plus, word of mouth might get us something. We can go to the Mystic City and ask people about this card or the lab." Leo explained his train of thought.
