Chapter 2: The Mutant Scientist
Far, Far, Far away from New York in a small house in a quiet neighborhood in Madrid, Spain. Where a mutant scientist was raising his only daughter.
Aubrey-Rose sat on the windowsill, Reading her favorite book, Beauty and The Beast.
She was just about to read the best part when she heard her father walk through the door.
"Hey Aubrey, come here!"
"Coming papa" Aubrey said, she walked down the stairs "Back from the grocery store already?"
"Yeah, there weren't many people in the store, did we get any mail today?" He asked, setting the groceries down in the kitchen.
"Just a couple of paychecks from your job, a bill for the lights, and a letter from Leonardo Hamato?"
Donnie froze when he heard his distant brother's name. It's been years since he's heard from him.
"Um.. w-what letter Aubrey?"
"From Leonardo Hamato, do you know him?"
He became deadly quiet for a few moments. Unsure where to begin. Yet he had to at some point.
"Yeah.. Aubrey I think you should sit down for this."
Aubrey was confused but she sat down, as her father began to explain.
"Aubrey, this letter is from my older brother, Leo... I haven't spoken to him, or the others in.. years."
"Others? There's more of us?" Aubrey questioned.
"Yeah.. there's more of us. There's Raph, he was.. probably still is, the hothead of the family and Mikey.. he, probably still is, the prankster out of the.. five of us."
"You keep saying five? There was another sibling?"
"There is.. maybe was, although I'm not even sure if the others are in contact with her to be sure."
"Oh, well maybe we should read this letter! Maybe he wants to talk"
"Yeah, you're right!" He smiled, opened up the letter and started to read it.
Dear Donnie,
It's been too long, hasn't it? I've missed you and the others a lot. Me, your niece, Leah and my friend, Coral are planning a nice barbecue to reunite all of us once again. We're hoping you and Aubrey could come! It's on the 15th in Central Park! We can't wait to see you both.
See you two then,
Leo.
"He seems nice! Maybe we should go"
He chuckled and smiled. "We should, it'll be nice for you to meet the rest of.. this dysfunctional family."
"I'll call my school and tell them about a family emergency! I'll make a schedule"
"Good, wanna help me make your favorite?"
"Yes, Let me set the table"
"Thanks Aubrey"
