The Winter Storm Of My Brother's Heart(TMNT/Frozen)

Well Now They Know

(Donnie's P.O.V)

I abruptly woke up and let out a small cry. I looked around me and found myself in my room and in my bed. I looked down at my hands as I tried to catch my breath. I still had my gloves and my brothers still had no idea what had happened to me. Everything was okay, for now at least. It had only been a nightmare, a realistic one, but still a nightmare. It was not the first one. I've had nightmares ever since day one, when I realized that I had new powers, which could be dangerous for the people around me. I sighed and put my hand on my chest and tried to calm myself and stop panting. I heard footsteps outside my door, and after a few seconds, Leo opened the door to my room and looked in. He saw me, and he, beign the caring and protective brother and leader he was, immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Donnie, are you okay? I heard a shout, and it came from your room. Is everything okay?" I looked at my oldest brother. I wanted to tell him the truth, how I longed to tell him and the others what was wrong with me. In the last weeks, I have lived through torture and now that April had forgiven us and came back, I wanted to tell her too. But I knew I couldn't. I just couldn't! I knew they would never understand, and I was also afraid of being pushed away from them and kicked out. With my new powers that grew stronger and stronger every day, I wasn't safe enough to around. I had noticed that when I was calm and collected that it was easier to control the powers, and harder when I was angry, sad or scared or other strong emotions, it was more difficult. I had to be strong and put up with the cold and stern new persona. Even if it meant I had to push the other away from me and slam the door in their faces, and I live alone in my lab for the most of my life. I had to keep them safe, no matter what!

"Y-yes Leo. I'm f-fine., It was just a ni-nightmare. I'm okay. Y-you can go back t-to bed." I made myself stutter and sound shaken up so that he would think I was still shaken up from a bad dream. I knew I wasn't the best actor or liar, but because I was still a little afraid after thinking about hurting my family and April, I made a pretty convincing show. But I was not out of the mousetrap yet. Leo was after all a very protective brother and would do anything to protect us from harm. He walked into my room and closed the door. He sat down on my bed and looked me in the eyes. Or at least he tried to, but I looked away and tried to look tired so Leo would take the hint and leave. But he just stretched out his hand and placed it under my chin and made me look into his eyes. His calm ocean blue eyes met mine and I wanted to avoid his gaze, but could not.

"Donnie, I want you to be honest. I can tell that you are shaken, by a nightmare or not, but I know that something else is wrong. You have acted very strangely lately. You close the door and isolate yourself in your lab or your room and push us away and April. April!We are worried about you. April is hurt and thinks your still mad at her from what she said a few weeks ago, we want to help you, but you're not letting us. At first we thought it was because you were hurt by April's words, but now we are lost. Donnie, please, tell me what's wrong." He leaned out his other hand and tried to caress my cheek, but this time I jerked away from his touch and his hands.

"There is nothing wrong Leo, I'm just stressed... that's all. It's so much going on now. So many mutants, and I'm still working so hard on that retro mutagen. And I'm still trying to recover from the events with Spi-I mean Slash." That last reason was not a complete lie. A few days ago my arm had healed and I could now train with my brothers without it hurting too much, not that I showed up at training much lately. Leo still didn't look convinced, but put on a smile and patted my shoulder, before he walked out of my room.

"Good night bro." I smiled at him and couldn't help but look into his eyes.

"Good night, Leo." I laid back down and tried to fall asleep again, but I couldn't. After a while, I took a look at the alarm clock on my nightstand. 05:47 it read. It was still quite early but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't sleep. So I left my bedroom and went to my lab. Where I could continue to work on a cure on how to fix this, before I could begin the process of retro mutagen again. It wouldn't do anyone any good if I couldn't even touch anything without my gloves. I looked down at my hands, they used to create amazing machines and scientific wonders. And now created the ice and snow and pulled me away from my family and the girl of my dreams. Thanks so much fate or life or whatever it was that decided this. You've pretty much ruined my life.
