CHAPTER 2 of Baby Blues is out!!
The portal closed.
It closed, and there Donnie was, on the ground, doing nothing. Feeling nothing.
That's not to say that something inside him didn't break at the knowledge that Leo was on the other side of that damned portal. The portal that had brought the extraterrestrial tyrants into his little, safe world and shattered it. Donnie shattered along with it - the hot tears spilling down his face were all the evidence he needed.
The softshell’s mind mimicked the eerie quiet that pooled through the streets of New York City. His brain was an overflowing variable, looping back to zero because it encountered something it couldn’t contain. Donnie was desperately grabbing at his thoughts, but they had turned to water in his hands, slipping down through his cold fingers and hitting the pavement beneath his feet.
He didn’t see Mikey raise his arms and let out a cry that would've burst his already fractured heart. He didn’t hear Raph trying to console his baby brother. He didn’t see the sparks that leapt off Mikey’s fingertips. He didn’t feel the cold stone hit his feet as he ran to his brothers, or see how Raph almost doubled over in pain when he grabbed onto Mikey’s shoulder. He didn’t even feel the spider-webbing burn creeping up his right arm as he assisted his family in tearing a hole in reality.
Through it all, Donnie felt nothing.
