Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Autoshop by pacphys

Autoshop (Donatello-Raphael | G | 1,721 words): Donatello and Raphael, working on their vehicles together. This is a lovely quiet moment for these two with brotherly bonding.

Excerpt:
They'd been here for quite a while, just working. Both turtles were coated in grease and were quite happy that way. The only words passed between them, the occasional requests for various tools. Raph had been slightly startled by Donatello's question. He had actually forgotten that his brother was there. Even with the tool noises Don invariably made from time to time, it was still easy to forget about the quiet turtle's presence.

Even though it was easy to tune out the fact that Donatello was there at all, the turtle in purple did bring a sense of calm to the warehouse that wasn't present at any other time. Tools were much less likely to be thrown when Donatello was around than when Raph was alone or if Casey was there working with him. Raph was always careful with the expensive ones, but wrenches would fly on a fairly regular basis. He didn't quite know what it was, but he never got as frustrated when Donnie was around.

     >>What makes you think I'd be interested in that?

     >>i saw you speak on cellular proteomics last year at the commons in metropolis

Querl had, in fact, been a speaker last year, but he had been in what the humans would quaintly called disguise.
