Going back in time probably wasn't Leo's best idea, at first anyways. He wanted to see his family again. He knew it would hurt, but he wanted to know that Casey succeeded, to know that his family was still alive, still thriving, that Raph had beaten the pizza box record.
What he didn't expect was to end up in someone's backyard. A teenager came out of the house. Worrying and fussing, not caring that he was 6ft turtle man, that he had a prosthetic arm, or that it looks like he'd been through hell and back. No. All this kid cared about was if he was hurt.
"Who are you?" Leo hisses as you help him stand. You introduce yourself, in a way you reminded him of his family. You helped him inside and set him on your couch. "Where's your family?"
"Family?" You ask, going to the bathroom and grabbing the first aid kit.
"Parents, siblings?" He asks, holding his side, sitting up a little better.
"Vacation." You said it so nonchalantly, like it was something you answered every day.
"And they left you here? Alone?" Leo presses. You begin to clean his wounds.
"Is there something wrong with that?" You dab some of the excess away.
"Did they make sure you had food? Water? Heating?" He grunts as you apply pressure to one of the wounds that had reopened.
"How did you end up in my backyard?"
"Don't change the subject."
"The answer isn't important."
"Yes it is. You're... What 15?" Leo groans, leaning forward so you can wrap up his plastron. "I have 2 younger brothers. I'd never leave them like this."
"Where are they?"
"What?"
"Your brothers. Where are they?"
"Somewhere in the city. I was going to find them."
"Really?" He plopped back down against the soft cushion. You gave him a disapproving look. "Like this?"
"You'd be surprised."
"Uh huh..." You got up, taking the dirty things and threw them away. "I could call them... If you have their numbers. But then again... you are a turtle man."
"You think I don't have a cell phone because I'm a turtle?"
"No offense, but normal people would be terrified if a giant turtle man came in and asked about phone plans."
"I'll give you that..." Leo sighs, feeling comfortable around this odd teenager. "You said normal people... Are you not normal?"
"Normal is... in the eye of the beholder." You shrug.
"Are you a yo'kai?"
"A what?"
"A yo'kai. They're... Nevermind."
Leo dreamt of his time in the resistance. Of Mikey, specifically when he died, an orange bandana now gracing his katana.
You got him something to eat and drink, making sure he was comfortable and his wounds stayed closed. Soon you left the room and Leo drifted off to sleep.
꒦꒷⚔️꒷꒦
"It'll take everything I have."
He thought about Raph, dying in his arms.
"This isn't your fault."
Raph's last words. He had tried so hard to push them down. Leo felt guilty for the Kraang invasion.
He dreamt about Donnie passing in the medbay.
"The world wasn't meant to be on some 16 year old's shoulders."
How could Donatello, of all people, forgive him? Tell him it's not his fault, tell him that it was okay.
Now he was here, in a time period where they're still alive, 6 years after the Kraang. He wanted to see them one last time. Just once Leo wanted to look upon the face of his brothers, his father, his sister. He wanted to hold them one last time.
Greif. Suffering. Wanting to go back and replace them. They deserved better, yet, he was the one to survive. Why?
Only to wake to a 15 year old, watching him.
"You talk a lot in your sleep." You say. "Who are they? The people you were talking about?"
"My brothers." Leo pants, the dream still fresh.
"They... died, didn't they..." You spoke softer, like you were afraid of upsetting him.
"Yes..." He breathed.
"May I ask... Why are you looking for them?"
"I'm from a different time, the me in this time is 22."
"Yeah right."
"Remember that freak accident 6 years ago? Aliens?"
"Yeah..."
"In my time period we didn't stop them, they took over the world. My... My brothers died fighting them."
"And you came back in time, to a different time period, because you miss them?"
"I am nothing without them."
"Why didn't you say so sooner? Let's go find them!"
You got him a big cloak to cover his 'turtleness' as you called it. You followed him through allies until you got to a sewer hole. He pulled it up, with a little help from you and dropped down.
"No offense, but this doesn't seem very homey to me." You jest.
"Let's hope that even in my advanced age, Donnie's system will still recognize me." Leo nudges you. "You on the other hand will probably be arrested."
"Tell them I'm a friend!"
You 2 continue down the tunnel, Leo pushed the hood off as you approached a door. He pushed it open and alarm bells started ringing.
"Fuck." Leo huffed. "Stay behind me. Donnie has a tendency to attack and ask question later."
Luckily Donnie wasn't the one who came to the door. It was Raph.
"Leo?" Raph lowered his Sai and reached out to him.
"Alright, who tripped the alarm!?" Leo could hear Donnie storming to the entrance. "Leo if you tripped the fucking alarm again-"
"Donnie... Raph..." Leo finally said, tears coming to his eyes. They looked so much better, healthier than the ones he grew up with. He wanted to hug them.
"Tello? Raph? What's..." Mikey walked up behind them. Donnie dropped his bo, shaking his head.
Finally tears fell. Leo fell to his knees, revealing you. It didn't seem to matter though as the other 3 turtles' eyes were still on the old man before you. Mikey rushed forward, pulling Leo into a hug.
"I'm so sorry." Leo hiccupped. "For everything."
Raph knelt down and pulled the 2 into a hug, his head on top of Leo's. Leo continued to apologize, for everything.
"It wasn't your fault." Raphael said. Donnie finally joined to mutants on the floor.
"The world was never supposed to be on one person's shoulders, especially not some kid's."
The words spoken on their death beds now had a new meaning. A weight lifted of Leo's shoulders, he squeezed his brothers, trying to engrain this moment into his brain.
"Who the hell is this kid?" All of you froze, looking up to see a young version of the old man you patch up. "Oh. I ruined a moment, didn't I?"
