He bristled. It was a slight movement, but Leah would easily be able to see it in how he drew back his shoulders, tight and tense, and scrunched up his snout as his eyes narrowed.

“You don’t get to make that decision for me.” It was a plain statement, but as firm as anything he had ever said to her. He was angry himself, confused and hurt, and it infuriated him all the more that she refused to hear him out. Refused to even try to work through things. “I know that your answer to someone doing something on this level is to scorch the earth and let slip the dogs of war, but that is not how I process or work through a problem. Hate her all you want, but I still want to try to make this right.”

The genius turned away at that, rustling through the haphazardly placed objects on his desk, his whole stance still tense. Leah had likely seen it a million times before, how he stood when his brothers were annoying him, how he planted his feet when he was geniunely angry. It wasn’t as frequent as Raph’s outbursts, but he had a temper, and it was burning brightly now.

Possibly more so than she’d ever seen it before.

“I looked her in the eye when she killed me, you know. I didn’t have much of a choice. And I can tell you without any hint of uncertainty that the thing looking back at me was not April O'Neil. It was something else, huge and terrifying and… and a legitimate monster. Even if it didn’t think it was. Knowing that, I can’t be angry at her. I can be angry at her decision not to listen to me, but I’m not going to start blaming her for what she did just because you think I should.”

« 🔧 »      “I don’t give a SHIT!” There was nothing nearby to grab, to throw, and so instead the human slammed her fist into the wall. She had so much pent up anger, so much FIRE burning inside that she couldn’t stand it. “This is her fuckin’ fault, Donatello. This is ENTIRELY her fault for everything she chose to do to, and while you can smile and nod and try to work out your crush, I will not let her stupidity destroy this goddamned family!”

Another punch, then another. Her anger was flaring now, and it took all she had not to physically lash out at Donnie or his experiments. The wall would have to do. Skin split, blood beading across the side of her hand and pinky finger, but Leah paid it no mind. This was better than accidentally hurting her brother.

“If you’re not angry at her, then you’re a DAMNED FOOL. I don’t give a shit if your rage isn’t like mine, but if you’re not fuckin’ angry that she did this to herself– and TO YOU– then you are the goddamned STUPIDEST turtle i have ever met. You can want to go and pet her hand and tell her there, there, but fuckin’ shit, I will punch her in the face the next time I see her.”

She clenched her hand harder, causing lines of skin to split further up, and she let it. Pain was easier to deal with. Anger was her natural state, but anger at Donnie was unusual. Anger mixed with fear and pain were even more so. Her head was starting to hurt. She just couldn’t understand. 

“If you want to go meet her, fine. But don’t you dare bring her here, ‘cause this time, there ain’t no fuckin’ space demon to turn my bullet AGAINST ME.”
