Let's do the time warp again~
Who: Leonardo Hamato ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
faceguy and YOU
What: Leo has been aged up... into extra wrinkly adult Leo with added apocalypse vibes
When: Late July/early August
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: Potential for apocalypse talk, body horror, family death, dismemberment
[Master Leonardo, leader of the resistance, wakes up in a place he did not fall asleep - in the softest bed with the silkiest sheets he's felt in, well, ever. And he knows right away that some shenanigans are definitely occurring. This is not hisbeautiful house time, and this is not his beautiful wife body. He doesn't know everything, but enough foreign memories are there to explain that much.
Somehow he's ended up in the body of his younger self, somewhere that is not his own timeline. Weird, but then, his whole life has been weird from the beginning.
He's feeling pretty calm about it, all things considered. While he may not know exactly what's going on, he knows that this is a place his younger self found safe, and he feels like this situation will resolve itself sooner or later. He'll ask Mikey for theories once he's back, assuming he remembers it.
For now, well... might as well take advantage of a world that isn't on its last leg.]
A: Hot Bean Juice - 33-year-old Leo (Open to anyone with access to Dylan Brock's penthouse)
Does this apartment belong to a movie star or something? Swank-kaaay.
[Leo can't help but stare around in awe as he moves through the penthouse - even pre-apocalypse, he'd never been in a place so nice, outside Big Mama's hotel. Hopefully no one thinks he's an intruder; maybe he should come up with a better cover story than, "Don't worry, I'm just temporarily possessing my teen self's body."
Leo at this age is considerably taller than his younger self, just over six feet. He's broad and muscular, and one arm is missing, though luckily for him his big, bulky robot arm came with him. He carries one sword instead of two, a bright red mask wound tight around the hilt. He's got a good number of scars and a good number of wrinkles, but his smile is easy and relaxed as he moves around.
He heads for the kitchen (once he finds it), and quickly finds exactly what he was hoping for.]
Oh, thank you, Pizza Supreme in the Sky.
[It takes him a moment to figure out the coffee maker, but soon enough he has a mug full of steaming hot coffee, inhaling the scent so hard he nearly snorts it all up his nose.]
I've missed this so much.
[He hopes he remembers this; he wants to lord it over Donnie later.]
B: Bless the Rains Down in Michigan - 33-year-old Leo (OTA)
[Realizing his younger self has been living in Michigan, of all places, had been a bit of a shock, but Leo is nothing if not adaptable. He's figured out how to get around this place quickly enough, utilizing his ninja skills, and has taken some time to explore.
Rain moved in about an hour ago and hasn't let up, and Leo is delighted. No one appreciates how nice it is to just sit and let the rain hit your face until the water dries up and is replaced with acid.
Leo's sitting up on a rooftop currently, his feet dangling over the edge, his face just... turned up toward the sky, letting the rain hit it. His mask and scarf and pants are soaked through, but his eyes are closed and his smile is content.
He's remarkably good at noticing when someone is approaching him, no matter how much or how little noise they're making. He doesn't even look, he just speaks.]
You ever think about how great rain is?
C: And I Feel Fine - 40-year-old Leo (OTA)
C1
[Another slip, another distortion, and an older Leo is here again. From even further into the apocalypse now, his face looks even more haggard, his clothes even more dirty and torn, new scars and new furrows covering his skin and shell. Two masks decorate his sword's hilt now, purple and red intertwined.
He's pretty sure he's dead, or will be soon. His time is over, his world is lost. But he sent Casey back, and he has all the faith in the world that Casey will accomplish the task Leo gave him.
Casey is their hope, after all. And hope is a ninja's greatest weapon.
His family is gone, and it stings, but there's a peace Leo feels, too. He'll be back with them again soon - Dad, Raph, and Donnie, who he's missed for so long, April and Mikey, the fresh and still stinging wounds. But first, seems like his soul is taking another detour.
The lights and crowds of Central City are... a lot for someone who's grown so accustomed to the ruins of civilization, and Leo finds himself getting away from it, eventually stopping in a scraggly, rundown park that it doesn't look like many people like to enter. Not that Leo is too worried about anyone attacking him, and he has enough of his younger self's understanding of the world to know he isn't putting him in any danger by being out in public.
He finds a bench and sits on it, just for awhile, watching the pigeons that hop by, the bugs, the wind in the trees.
Life here isn't perfect, he knows: there's crime, there's death, there's suffering. But there's life too, and isn't that incredible?
He just wishes he could have given his own world that back.
He'll stay seated until someone else comes along - if they look like they want the bench, Leo will move to the side.]
Hey, sorry - didn't mean to take up the whole seat, heh.
C2
[Maybe there's a reason people avoid this park, actually, because while Leo is chilling, he hears a crime in progress - specifically a mugging.
Leo gets up, moving quietly to get closer and take a look. It's a human with a gun, and he's not impressed in the slightest.
Soundlessly, Leo moves behind the mugger... and plucks the gun right out of the guy's hand, clicking the safety and then spinning it around his finger.]
I'll be taking that, thank you!
["Hey!" starts the mugger, but when he turns around and gets a look at Leo... he decides to make a hasty retreat.
Maybe you were the victim, or maybe you're just a bystander - either way, catch Leo smirking at the guy's retreating back.]
Ah, come on - [He glances at the person standing there, winking.] - there's no way this handsome face is that scary.
[[OOC: I'll match you if you'd rather do prose than brackets. Also I don't have room for adult Leo icons so you get teen Leo icons but just imagine the big guy, thanks.
Hit me up if you'd like something more specific!]]

no subject
It's when the human is close enough to feasibly grab him that Leo realizes he is the brat, and so he does the only sensible thing he can think to do in this moment.
He spins and kicks Accelerator with his little baby leg.
This doesn't accomplish much other than causing him to unbalance and fall back on his shell.]
Wah!
no subject
He does not fall over, though. Thank god for that. Once he regains his balance he glares.]
Shit, I should leave you like that.
no subject
Unfortunately he is trying to get back on his feet, and the human standing over him looks angry and scary.
So instead of struggling further he pops all his limbs and his head into his shell. Bye!]
no subject
[That....
Okay, he knows normal turtles can do that. It came up when he was doing all that research on turtle species. But Leo nor Donnie have ever done it, so he assumed them being mutated meant they lost the ability.
Apparently not!
Accelerator stares down at the shell, trying to figure out what to do with this. He can't very well leave Leo here like this, so with a sigh he bends down to scoop Leo up under one arm.]
no subject
Leo stays inside his shell, watching out of the gap near his head. Unlike Mikey, who is a box shell, Leo's shell can't enclose him fully - if someone really wanted to hurt him, sticking some kind of weapon through the gaps in his shell would be the way to do it.
On the flip side, it allows him to watch the person who has him and try to determine when the best time to poke out and bite him would be.]
no subject
He's going to take Leo somewhere a little quieter but still public so as to not scare him too much - a park, where he sets him down on a bench before sitting down himself.]
You going to stay in there all day?
[Letting go of his crutch, he rolls his right shoulder to try and relax it.]
no subject
It’s a little hard to see like this, though…
It could be a trap, but slowly Leo pokes his head out, then his arms so he can push himself up. His legs pop out last.
The man doesn’t seem like he’s trying to hurt Leo. Maybe he’s not a bad guy?
Leo scoots away a little just in case. Then he looks up at Accelerator and asks:]
Are you old?
[Because he looks like a teenager, but he has white hair…]
no subject
Anyways, he just sits there, a little annoyed. What a rude question.]
No, the colour of my hair is just a fucking side effect.
no subject
The answer doesn't really make sense to him, though.]
Side effect of what?
no subject
My ability. It's a science thing.
no subject
[Science things are boring! Donnie always tries to tell him about it and sometimes Leo wants to listen but he can't sit still that long.
He kicks his feet off the bench for a second, then looks back up at Accelerator suspiciously.]
Are you gonna eat me?
no subject
No, that's gross.
no subject
Then why'd you kidnap me?
no subject
Because that's what villains do, kidnap people.
[This is probably not the best answer and honestly kind of ridiculous considering all they're doing is sitting on a bench in a public space but it's a melodramatic one that he likes.]
no subject
Leo gets onto his feet on the bench, stepping back and putting his tiny fists up.]
My daddy trained me in... in mar... in fighting! So! I'm real tough!
[So no more bad guy kidnapping!]
no subject
[Accelerator is just going to reach out and jab Leo in his forehead, hard enough to push him over.]
Sure, brat.
no subject
[Leo ends up on his shell again, flailing for a moment at the sudden reorientation. Wow, this bad guy is strong and fast!
Leo grabs the arm rest of the bench and uses it to pull himself back to his feet. Now he has to think! He could run, but this human is bigger and could probably chase him down. And he can't fight him because the bad guy is too strong!
There's only one thing to now.
Leo opens his mouth and starts to yell at the top of his lungs.]
DAAAAAAADDYYYYYYYYY!!
[His lungs are surprisingly big and loud for such a small turtle.]
no subject
Aaaand then Leo starts yelling.
He winces, glances around quickly. A couple people walking by are looking over, good Samaritans and all, and that makes Accelerator a little nervous.]
Shit, you want the cops to show up and haul you away?
no subject
What does he do?
He sniffles, sitting down on the bench.]
I wanna go home…
[Sniff… sniff… rapid blinking…]
no subject
Frowning, he pulls a travel pack of tissues from his pocket and hands it over, because he doesn't have good news.]
That's not really possible, brat. You're stuck here with the rest of us.
no subject
The bad guy is saying he can’t go home, but why should he believe that? Bad guys lie!]
You’re making that up…
no subject
Fuck, I wish I was. Then I could just drop you off with your dad. [And things would be a lot more fine than they are right now.]
no subject
You know my dad!?
no subject
.... Not personally, no. Never met the guy.
[And if he did, he isn't sure how that'd go. Probably horribly, he has no idea what you're supposed to do when you meet someone else's parents.]
I know... about him, though. [That technically isn't a lie.] He sounds okay.
no subject
…Dad says I’m not s’posed to talk to humans. So how you know ‘bout him?
