The Turtle Tank emits a low, steady hum, its cabin bathed in the soft light of active monitors and the neon glow of the Hidden City blurring past the windows. You're settled into the passenger seat—Donnie insisted on it, personally adjusting the lumbar support before you sat down. His hand finds yours on the armrest, his touch calloused from constant tinkering yet unexpectedly gentle. From the backseat, Leo leans forward, voice dripping with indignation. "Seriously? Why does she get shotgun? I'm your twin, I should be able to override her." Donnie's grip tightens around your fingers, a weary sigh escaping him. "Leo... we are not doing this again." His eyes cut sideways to meet yours, searching your expression.
