Symbiosis

|Chapter 37|

~Two Weeks Later~

POV Leo:

"Wait so how would I say my name?", looking over from the phone Donnie made for me, I stared at the notepad in his hands, watching as he tried spelling it out only to fail instantly. "Bro if you really want to learn you have to learn the alphabet first", Donnie groaned as I reached for his notepad, I snickered at his annoyance, "Why though?! I can learn that later-"

"Dee-", staring at Donnie, I placed my hand on his shoulder as he peered at Donnie through squinted, "...if you don't learn the alphabet you won't know if you are pronouncing it right or not"

"Leonardo is right, Donatello. To learn the basics of any language, you must understand the building blocks of said language," speaking calmly, their Dad continued only to finish as he spit his hot teeth, chuckling under my breath. I smirked as Donnie glared at me. Groaning once again, I turned towards the side and whispered under my breath, barely audible to Donnie or any of the others around the room, "Venom, can you teach Dee the Kraang alphabet?"

"Sure. But we better go out tonight, I'm starving..."

Pinching the bridge of my snout, I sighed as I squeezed my eyes shut, "Fine..."

"Yes!"

I didn't even get a moment to ready myself as Venom fronted, but before I was pushed towards the back, I whispered loudly, "But please use my voice!"

POV Venom:

Lifting my host's arms in the air, I could feel the aches and pains slowly disappear with each passing moment, but not completely. Scratching the back of Terra's neck, I looked down at the notepad in my hand, "Wah?... Donatello, this isn't even close to how the Kraang writes-", placing the notepad off to the side, I looked back over towards Donatello, but as our eyes met he looked from one eye to the other, his mind focusing on something, his eyes squinting harder and harder, "uhhhhhh...do I have something on my face Dee?". His eyes widened as he pointed at me, peering around the room, I noticed everyone's attention was turned toward us, but the blue turtle and the human girl could tell something was wrong, I needed to get their attention away from their conversation, "Bro don't! You know is rude to point? I think I heard that somewhere...anyways! Let's start with the first twenty-five letters-"

"The first?! " I nodded my head. I looked at the others from the corner of my eye. Some of them went back to their tasks, while one continued to stare at me, 'April...I think that was her name...'

"Alright, so this is what is going to happen, I'm going to tell you the twenty-five and then we are going to go over each letter until you get it right, okay?...alright-", I didn't wait for his reply as I thought back to the first letters I taught Terra, "a̸͍̥͔̒̈ a̶̻̲͊̿̒̕ͅͅi̴̙̪͗̊͒͘ a̷̧̿̉̋u̶̧̱͌͜ a̷̺̭̯̓y̴͇̗̾̌ b̷͕͋̒ b̶̹͑ý̶̪͓̇ c̸͇͖̤̈́̽̄ c̷̡̙͎̜̋c̶̦̼̳̪͋̒̚ ç̸̻̿̎̍̈͜ḧ̴̢͍́ ç̵̺͆̇̆̒ͅl̴͎͈̀͠ c̷̗̑͝ÿ̷̼ d̶̗̻̥̰͆͠ d̸͖̾̓d̸̝̋ ḓ̶̗̭̋́̌̾ḧ̵̨̦́ ḏ̸̓͝s̵̘̃ d̷̳̳̂̂̈ỳ̶̧ e̴̗͝ ę̶̝̄ã̵̧̠ e̵͉͍͐ĭ̷̺̙͘ e̸̛̝̪̕y̷̟̋̾ f̸̦̐̂ f̶̠̈́͐ĩ̸͕͊ f̵̛͍o̸̡͔̐ f̸͎̓h̸̰̦̋̊ f̷͈̣͗y̴͙̒͗...alright you ready for the first letter?", Donatello just stared at me, turning my body on the couch, I made my body face him straight on. I laid my hands in the dip of my host lap, only to fall straight onto Krisa's head, I froze, watching as her calm big red eyes changed to wide dilated eyes as quiet whimpers spilled out. Gasping, I looked down at her as I held her face, my hands cupping her cheeks as my thumb rubbed over the spot my wrist landed, "Oh Bubba...". Looking up from Krisa, I looked back at Krisa, and planted a peck on top of her barren skull, "Papa, is so sooooo sorry, Bubba-", rubbing the area with my thumb, my hands pulled her cheeks up as I pressed my forehead against her, "Does it still hurt or are you okay?...", I waited for something, a hug, a nod, honestly anything, but instead she turned her face down towards her lap, playing with the strings in my pants.
