The one with a frozen heart

A/N: Okay, I am sorry for the delay but after I posted the last chapter I gave myself a few days break, but then I found out that my dad and I are going to visit my cousins on Monday and not come home until Friday, so I had to figure out how to finish the story quicker, seeing how I will be gone five days.

But enough about that, how many got surprised while reading the last chapter? It actually hurt in my heart to write that last part, but fear not my friends, I have a new chapter for you and I hope it will comfort those who are scared for our favorite purple clad turtle.

Can I just take a moment and give you all a great big thank you, for now I have just as many reviews as my other story, The winter storm of my brother's heart, and I am so grateful for that. Thank you so much and please, review and tell me what you think, it doesn't have to be positive but just tell me what I can do better, and I would be grateful if someone could give me tips on how to write fight scenes, cause I feel ashamed of how mine turns out.


Chapter 16, I have been changed for good

(Raph's P.O.V)

"NO!"

"DONNIE!"

"DONATELLO!" I heard the screams around me, but I didn't care about it. The moment I saw the rope getting sliced by the shuriken I threw, I kicked Tiger Claw in the head and ran past and jumped up to the edge of the vat and looked down into the glowing mutagen and tried to see my brother. I heard Leo in the background and he was yelling at Shredder.

"Shredder! You monster, you will pay for this!" Shredder only laughed darkly and for once I didn't feel my blood boil. I was busy with something else at the moment.

"Oh really? I see it was a way of paying back. You took your Master's daughter back from me, and I took your son away from him. It's what I call a win-win." But while they bickered I saw something weird. The ice had started to freeze almost the moment Donnie fell into it and now the mutagen was completely frozen. I looked through the ice and squinted my eyes to try and see better and saw something move in there.

For a moment I thought I should leave it and try to rescue my other brothers, April, Casey and Karai, but instead I took out my sai and started to stab the ice, trying to make a hole in the frozen mutagen. That caught the others interest too and I heard Leo ask what I was doing but I didn't answer.

Then something busted through the ice and I was prepared for the worst. A monster, a blob or maybe even some cross between turtle and fly, since Stockfly was the last one to touch him. But what I saw was beyond my expectations. It was Donnie, and nothing had changed about him. He was himself and didn't even seem mindless. He didn't get up immediately, he just had his arms stretched out over the ice and had his head resting against it too and just breathed in and out.

"Donnie...?" I wanted to ask him if he was alright and how he avoided being mutated, but I decided to let him breath first, I just placed my hand on his shoulder to let him know I was there. After about a minute he looked up from the ice and met my eyes.

"Man, talk about luck that I have ice powers." He said it weakly and tried to smile a little. I let out a small laugh and gave him a hand to help him up, and he took it gratefully. As he got up I couldn't help myself anymore. I pulled him into my arms and hugged him as tight as I could. I felt him choke a little and got stiff, but I didn't care.

"Don't ever scare me like that, ever again!" I felt him relax and place his arms around my shell and I fought my tears. He also laughed a little.

"What? You're the one who threw that shuriken." I got both surprised, and surprisingly really angry. I pulled away slapped him across his head, like I usually did on Mikey. He cried out in pain and rubbed his head and looked at me with a scowl.

"Do you think it's about that? You stayed in the building to fight off Shredder! Have you lost your mind completely?!" He looked a little surprised and it looked like he was about to yell back at me, but in the middle of his yell he saw something behind me and cried out.

"Yeah, well- Raph look out!" I looked behind me and I had my sai in my hands and out of my belt just in time to block Tiger Claw's sword and kicked him in the chin, making him stumble a little but then swung his sword at my head, but I did a backwards hand volt and kicked the sword out of his hand.


(Normal P.O.V)

Donnie had jumped down to the floor and took the sword Splinter had dropped when he was caught in the ropes. First he kicked a foot-soldier away and punched another one and cut through the ropes that held Master Splinter and then gave him the sword. Master Splinter looked relived and placed both hands on Donnie's shoulders and looked him in the eyes.

"My son, are you alright?" He nodded and smiled Master Splinter. He then got serious and turned to the cages and grabbed his staff that Shredder had leaned against the wall and ran to free the others, while Splinter handled the Shredder who ran forward to attack again.

"I don't know how your son managed to get himself out of the mutagen without hurting himself or get mutated, but I will have him!" Donnie ran towards Leo's cage and placed the staff so he could bend it open. Leo looked up at Donnie relief and pretty much flew up from the floor and placed both hands on his shoulders in a tight grip.

"You're such an idiot, you know that?" Donnie rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Yeah, I've heard. Come on, let's free the others!" Leo nodded and grabbed his katanas, that he had dropped when he got trapped and ran towards to Mikey's cage and freed him while Donnie helped April. April also flew up and hugged him around his neck and nuzzled her face in his neck.

"Donnie, you idiot. Never do anything like that again." Donnie sighed and as April pulled herself away from he crossed his arm over his chest.

"Okay, I get it! I'm an idiot, now no one else has to clarify that can we focus on what's happening right now?" He sounded a little annoyed and walked up to Karai's cage and freed her and Mikey did the same with Casey's. Raph turned towards his brothers as he tried to hold of Tiger Claw and while he tried to remain on his feet, he yelled at the others.

"Hey, guys! A little help here!?" He barely said those words before he got knocked to the ground and rolled out of the way before Tiger Claw managed to stab him in the head. Leo ran to slice one robot in half and the blocked an attack from Fishface. Mikey ran towards Rahzar and hit him in the head with his nunchucks. It made him lose focus, but only for a few seconds. Then he tried to hit Mikey in the stomach, and Mikey just managed to get out of the way but got sliced in the arm.

Casey and April stuck to the robots and let the turtles and rat and his daughter to handle the mutants and Shredder, knowing they were to powerful for them, for now. Karai ran up to Raph and helped him with Tiger Claw, much to his annoyance, but he accepted the help anyway.

Donnie ran up to the frozen mutagen and started to pick up pieces of the ice Raph and stabbed and started to throw it at every robot and mutant he could, and with a little touch of his powers they became really effective grenades. They either exploded in the attackers face or made their arms go off or something like that.

"Well would you look at that. Mutagen can be useful!" He smiled to himself and then picked up another one, only to realize it was the last piece of lose ice. He swallowed and then thought over a few new ideas on how to fight them, and then realized that he still had his powers and threw at last piece and it exploded it Rahzar's face, making him yelp like a real dog. Then he started to just throw his own ice powers at the robots and mutants, sometimes it missed and sometimes it didn't.


(Donnie's P.O.V)

The fight had only lasted a few minutes and I was already sick of it. I had been awake since 3 AM and the little rest I had until then had been very short and I wanted to get some real rest. I looked at the Shredder and Splinter where they fought a few feet away and then I looked to the others and they all looked very tired. I met Leo's eyes and while I shot ice at Fishface head I yelled at him.

"Leo! We have to get out of here, now!For my sake of not for yours!" Leo kicked a soldier off and threw away the now unconscious Fishface.

"Some of us, or all of us?" He said and a hint sarcasm. I had to take a deep breath before I talked again. I know I had left them back there and that it was a bad idea, they didn't have to rub it in.

"All of us! I'll create a distraction and then we'll get out of here! Sounds like a plan?" Leo barely had time to nod before he got kicked in the side and fell to the ground. I started to focus on both wind and snow at the same time like I had done when I created the big blizzard and then let it blow. Snow started to blow around the entire warehouse and most of the robots froze into thick ice and the mutants got to the ground.

"Guys, let's get out of here!" And we started to run towards the exit and seven out of eight had a little trouble getting through the strong wind, but as soon as we got out it got easier for them. I heard the Shredder yell behind us in anger and defeat, but we kept on running until we got to a roof top far away from the lab. We took a moment to breath and then Mikey looked up from the ground, where he was sitting on his knees.

"Wow, that almost ended bad." Casey looked up too and turned to me, but I didn't see it. I was busy, leaning against a chimney and tried to catch my breath. I didn't see Casey until he shoved his face into my.

"Yeah, what the heck were you thinking!? You could've gotten us all killed!" My fatigue got replaced with annoyance and a little anger and shoved him away from me.

"Well you guys didn't have to go after me you know! In fact, I could've gotten out of there on my own!" Leo looked up at us and put on a serious face.

"Yeah, but you said once that you were through with slamming the door in our faces. That you wouldn't leave us out of your life anymore, remember?" I opened my mouth but I couldn't think of any good comeback and sighed in defeat and sat down on the chimney and lowered my head and placed my hands on my knees. I heard April's voice, and thank god she was a little softer and not so accusing.

"What were you thinking?" I sighed and looked away from them. I don't know why I felt ashamed, I just did. I shook my head and tried to find the right words.

"I don't know. I guess I just wanted to get you out of that place, I didn't really think of me getting killed in the process as long as you got out." I heard someone walk over to me and felt that someone places his arm around my shoulder. I looked up at Master Splinter, who looked both stern and comforting at the same time.

"Donatello, I have said it before, you are both generous and selfless, which are both very good qualities to have. You always put others needs in front of your own, but while you musn't forget about us, you cannot forget yourself. We want you safe just as much as you want us safe. Don't forget that my son." I sighed again and looked down at the ground.

"Hai Sensei." Raph looked up at me and spoke for the first time in a long time.

"That reminds me, how the heck did you avoid getting mutated?! The ice didn't start forming immediately, so how did you do it?" It hadn't hit me once how I did that. I guess I had other thing to think about. I thought it, and then shrugged at Raph.

"I have no idea. I guess, when I fell towards the mutagen I was so scared my powers leaked. Like the fear triggered them and froze the mutagen, protecting me from the effects of the mutagen. It's a possibility, I don't know." April shrugged and moved or to me and threw her arms around my neck.

"Well, I don't care how it happened. I'm just glad you're okay." I felt a small blush appear on my cheeks. Then I saw Karai, who was standing a little bit from us with her arms crossed over her chest and looked like she felt left out. So as soon as April let go of my neck I walked over to her and smiled at her.

"Karai, I owe you a big thank you. Thank you so much, for helping me with saving my family. And I'm sorry I didn't trust you before on that roof top." I stretched out my hand for her to shake, and she took it.

"It's nothing to mention. It was the least I could for every time I've tried to kill you." I smiled and then got shoved out the way by Leo who smiled excitedly at her. I looked at him disapprovingly and then got up from the ground and walked over to the others.

"So does this mean you're through with the Shredder? Will you join our side and stay with us?" I cringed a little at him. Was that how I was around April? Karai looked at Leo, and seemed to think it over.

"Well, since Shredder is going to be after me now, I guess I have no choice. I mean, if it's okay with you?" Leo looked at the rest of. Mikey and I nodded, Raph still didn't look convinced but nodded with a small smile. But it was mostly Master Splinter's permission Leo was looking for and he nodded.

"Sure, you can come with us. Casey, April, want us to help you home?" Casey shook his head and adjusted the bag over his shoulder.

"Nah, I'm good. Casey Jones can get home by himself. It's explaining to dad where I've been that will be the challenge." He more mumbled that last part and then climbed down the building and used his skates to get home faster. April looked at me and smiled a little.

"Uh, Donnie? Do you mind helping me get home?" I got surprised. Usually April would want to get home by herself, and she wanted me to help her home. I looked at the others and Leo nodded approvingly.

"Yeah, you go ahead. Just get straight home afterwards." I nodded and April and I started to walk towards her apartment. Usually I would try to start a conversation, but I was too shy to try to be cool. April cleared her throat and I looked at her.


(April's P.O.V)

A/N: The song will have about the same kind of texting as the duet between April and Donnie in chapter 14.

"Uh, Donnie. When we were about to break into the Baxter's lab, I heard what you and Shredder was talking about. You know, about Casey and..." I trailed off and saw Donnie pale and look away.

"Oh, you did? So you heard, everything? About you and..." Now he trailed off and I nodded. Now it felt awkward again and I thought over what I should say next. I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable, but still I didn't want him to give up hope or give him false hope. I took a deep breath through my nose and looked him in the eyes.

"Look Donnie, I don't want to let you down or give false hope right now, so please try to see this through my point of view, okay?" He nodded, but didn't smile or show any emotions at all. I took another breath and looked him in his eyes.

"Donnie, my life has gone through so many changes since last year, I mean I've found out I'm a half-alien mutant and have a whole alien race after me. And that's just a few things, and I don't think I'm ready for a romantic life right now. There's too many things going on right now. I hope you can understand." He took a breath but didn't look away from my eyes.

"Yeah, I understand. A lot of things are going on right now, and you have other things to think about right now, I get it. I just want you to know that whatever you choose I will accept it. Either if you choose me, or I will be forced to let go. I only want you to be happy." I couldn't help but smile at him. He was just too sweet.

We came to my apartment all too soon and the sun had already started to rise. It was a good thing it was Friday night and there was no school tomorrow. I could sleep all I wanted and didn't have to worry about any important things. Donnie helped me to the fire escape and opened the window for me, like a gentleman. I jumped in immediately felt how tired I was. But I turned around to say good-bye before Donnie left.

"Good night Donnie. And thank you for what you did tonight. But you have to stop risking your life for those you love. There's been three times now." Donnie blushed and nodded so little I almost didn't see it. Then he waved nervously at me with a goofy smile.

"Uh, good night April, hope we'll see you soon. When you get back on your feet of course. You should be out an run just yet, seeing that so much happened this night! Uh, not that I should tell you what you should do, you should do what you think is right, but you know-!" I laughed a little at his rambling, in a way it was kinda cute. I leaned through the window and kissed him on the cheek, making blush harder but he stopped talking.

"I'll see you in a few days. And you should get home too Donnie." He nodded and waved before jumping to the roof next to our apartment but out eyes locked again as he turned around and looked at me, like that first day we met.

"Who can say if I've been changed for the better but Because I knew you." I smiled slightly and remembered that first night. My life might have become so much weirder, but I didn't anything to change. Well, not so much anyway.

"Because I knew you I have been changed for good" He started to run away and jump from roof top to roof top and I looked after him until he disappeared in the sun light that started to spread over the city. I closed the window and just went to bed without brushing my teeth or even taking my clothes off. I was too exhausted to care that I slept with dirty hair and sweaty clothes. But I was awake enough to take my shoes off anyway.


A/N: Again, sorry for the wait but I said it before I needed to plan a few things out and I will try to write an epilogue and have it up tomorrow or later today, we'll see, but if I don't have it up it won't be up for a while, just so you know. I hope you can have patience with me if I can't have it up by tomorrow.
