The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 38

After I morphed them, and changed them into some more suitable stretchy clothes, and after some slightly bitchy remarks from Raph about

how "I never said anything about tights..."

Then wrapping there wrists with white sports tape for grip.

We were finally ready to try it out....

Well readyish anyways.

"Wow, I never realized how high that was until just now.."

Said Donatello cautiously while holding into the sides of the rig with a death grip.

"Yeah the senses are different as human, we are well... How do I put this?"

I paused awkwardly while trying to reassure him.

"Less indestructible?"

Input Leonardo.

"Yeah that would be it."

I nodded while reaching for the rausin bag that was attached to the side of the rig.

"What's that?"

Asked Donatello while I began tapping the bag against my palms and a little of the white powder that missed my hands rained down off the platform and began gently floating to the ground.

"It's rausin, it makes your hands stop sweating, makes them stickier and well grippier if that's even a word."

I joked before tossing the bag to Michelangelo.

A look of complete déjà Vu washed over his face.

He brought the bag up to his nose and sniffed it.

"That's it!"

He exclaimed.

I gave him a puzzled look.

"This is the smell... This is the stuff you smelled like when we found you, it was such a weird smell and now I know what it is!"

He explained excitedly, like Sherlock Holmes when he cracks a case.

I laughed as I reached for the bar.

My normal, lightly tanned 5 fingered hands, gripped tightly to the trapeze.

"That's how pretty much how most circus girls smell, like perfume and rausin."

I looked down at the net and bit my lip, praying that if he did drop me it would be straight into the net and not sideways or off the edge.

"I ain't got all day."

Said Raph sarcastically as he dangled from the catchers trap.

I heard the covered up fear in his voice and I saw it in his eyes.

He was just as scared as me.

He didn't realize how much of a burden I had put on him.

I could teach his brothers how to fly no problem but the truth of the matter is I can't catch.

I don't know how to so I can't show him.

This is all on him.

"You guys sure your ok with this?"

I asked quietly.

"Are we ok with this?"

Smirked Donnie.

"Did you really just ask that Roxanne?"

Grinned Leonardo.

"Are you kidding?! this is the most fun Iv ever had, it's a real challenge and Im loving it!"
