[The feed flickers on - or maybe it's not the feed that's flickering. The room is dark, black, everything burned and sooty-looking. Small fires are eating away at what's left.]

[In the midst of it, one terrified Turtle.]

Please help me...

Action

[raavashing]

[Wan had never visited Donatello's home, but he knew where it was. He recognized the signs of an out of control fire and didn't bother asking after the turtle's well being or if he should come over. He was out his window and flying to Donnie's as fast he could get there. With the damage from the fire, the turtle's window wasn't a concern in getting through.

As Wan landed the heat drew out of the immediate area, making the floor safe for him to land on. He had to focus a bit more than usual with fires and from it he recognized that someone else with the power over the element was involved.]

Donatello? You asked for help...

[But the fires only pop up again, fueled by Don's fear and panic. Wan undoubtedly had better control, but Don's sudden power is strong.]

Here! I'm here!

[Wan had to focus more, keep pulling the fires away from where they sprouted and it was strangely difficult. He hadn't know Donatello could do this.

He moved in closer to the turtle, following the voice.]

You need to calm down. Steady your breathing. Can you try to meditate?

[That's a tall order right now, but - okay. He's meditated his way out of worse situations than this.]

[He pulls himself together, and tries to quiet his thoughts.]

[The fires don't get any smaller, but they stop jumping so fiercely.]

[Wan finally got to Donnie's side, his focus still on trying to control the fires.]

Okay, now that you're sort of there, I need you to stop meditating properly. Keep your thoughts on your breathing and only your breathing. This is going to be weird for you, but fire is controlled by the breath. Breathe evenly, a count of four in and a count of four out. Not slow, but not fast.
