Why this must be read:
It's an interesting premise, although one not entirely supported by canon. Raphael and Donatello are on their way home after a night at Casey's when they find themselves in a showdown against a freaked out kid with a gun. Facing off against that kind of firepower throws them and shows them how helpless they can really be against their enemies, even with all their training. Now, they've faced guns in canon a hundred times before, but the kid does have the drop on them, and they are in a tight spot. Raphael's reaction is true to form and very real, but it's Donatello's actions that really make the story for me.
"I said, put down the gun," Don repeated, his voice still calm as he spoke, although Raph could tell he was anything but calm; his entire being seemed to tremble with fear.
The boy turned back to look at Raph, the desperation in his eyes having transformed into panic, the tears running down his face gone dry.
"I'm serious," Donatello urged, raising his hand a little higher, holding the gun a little tighter. "Put it down."
