Universe: 2018
Leo fell back, in usual Leon dramatic fashion, onto the black couch in the center of the Lair's living room. He just got done with his latest mission with his brothers, and even though it was just Hypno and Warren, he still felt exhausted and ready to enjoy a chill night. His insomnia had always been awful, but after the whole ordeal with the Krang Leo felt like some nights he only slept enough to keep himself alive.
He let himself relax into the slightly uncomfortable cushions and felt his brain starting to turn off. Just as he was about to completely drift to sleep, he heard the steady dancer like steps of his younger brother.
"Pizzas here!" Mikey shouted so everyone could here from around their neon lit home. Mikey set the pizzas on the the coffee table near Leo, and tilted his head to smile apologetically at his older brother, "Sorry, Leo. Were you asleep?"
"Nah, just resting my eyes." Leo sat up and patted his orange loving brother's head.
"Alright, but promise me you'll get some rest tonight?" Mikey gave his brother a concerned look before running off to get his other two brothers.
"I'll do my best, Mi Hermano." Leo mumbled as he stretched his arms above his head.
"He's got a point."
Leo looked over his shoulder to see Raph walking over to sit beside him.
"If it weren't for your mask those bags under your eyes would be more noticeable than your slider marks." Raph grabbed one of the pizza boxes and opened it up. The pizza was Hawaiian, so Raph held the box out to Leo so the younger turtle could have first dibs on his favorite pizza.
"Thanks." Leo mumbled while taking a slice out, and choosing to ignore his brother's comment.
"Eh? Is that Hawaiian?" Donnie asked as he took the other seat next to Leo.
"Just eat it you weirdo." Leo laughed before taking a bite.
"No worries, Dee, I made sure to get all our favorite's." Mikey pulled the bottom box out from the stack before hopping onto his favorite spot on Raph's shoulder.
"Thank Eisenhower!" Donnie grabbed a box, and looked much happier with its contents. "S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N, can you grab some drinks please?"
In less than 3 second S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N was in the room with four different colored sodas.
"Thank you." Donnie grabbed the drinks off the purple robot, and handed each of his brother's their preferred drink.
"No probs, Bros." S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N said before flying back into Donnie's lab.
Donnie had spent months salvaging what remained of S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N from the Shredder's attack on their previous home, and it took him twice as long as that to complete the robot's new form. It wasn't until recently that the purple robot had been ready to come back to the Hamato family better than new, but still the same lovable terror Donnie considered his child. The other three brothers had wondered why it had taken Donnie so long to rebuild S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N, but were just happy to have him back.
Leo-"So, movie tonight, or-"
Raph-"Rest. Both you and Dee need it."
Raph gave Leo an 'over protective brother' glare.
Leo-"Come on Raphie, I can stay up long enough to watch 1 Jupiter Jim movie."
Donnie-"And I still have several projects to finish before sleep is even a necessity."
Mikey-"No, I'm with Raph. The disaster twin's sleep schedules are a disaster itself."
Mikey and Raph chuckled at the 'twins' unamused faces.
Leo-"Fine, but only if Donnie agrees we're twins."
Leo gave Donnie a pleading look.
Donnie-"Do I really need to keep vocalizing it? For Hawking sake we share a birthday!"
Leo-"Yes."
Leo leaned onto Donnie's shoulder, and kept giving him sad eyes.
"Fine, if it gets you back in your own personal space bubble, Leo we're twins. There, happy?"
Donnie barely finished his sentence before he was tackled by Leo into the couch, and then quickly followed by Mikey leaping on top of both of them, and to the three younger's horror, Raph tackled all his younger brothers off the couch. They all rolled onto the ground with the three smaller turtles laughing on top of their grinning big brother.
"I love you guys." Mikey said happily.
"Us too." The other 3 smiled and hugged their littlest brother.
Universe 2003:
Leonardo was busy focusing on a quick training exercise in the dojo before dinner, when his orange loving brother walked in.
"Hey Bro, pizzas here. You almost done?" Michelangelo asked from a safe distance as his older brother finished up and sheathed his katanas back on to his shell.
"I am now." Leonardo mumbled before walking over to where Michelangelo stood.
The two walked back to the kitchen, where Raphael and Donatello were waiting for them.
"You actually managed to get Fearless out of his personal training montage." Raphael said with a slight smirk.
"Nothing makes a turtle wanna slack off more than pizza!" Michelangelo jumped up onto the counter and grabbed a pizza box.
Leonardo-"It's not like I'm the only one who's been busy. I think this is the first time I've seen Don all week."
Donatello-"Sorry guys, I've been working on this new project, and I'm making such great progress. Every time I get close to a stopping point I end up.. forgetting."
Don had started working on said project shortly after the adventure he and his brothers had with their dimensional counterparts.
Raphael-"What exactly is that hunk of metal supposed to be anyway?"
Donatello-"Well since the other dimensional transporter got fried after our counterparts all went back home, I think I've come up with a more modified version."
Michelangelo-"Is this one also made out of a flashlight?"
Raphael-"Please tell me you aint trying to take us back that wierdo world? If I ever here the words 'Turtle Power' again I think I'll have fewer braincells left than Mikey."
Michelangelo- "Hey!"
Leonardo-"They weren't that bad."
Leonardo tried to defend the other him and his brothers, but the look on his own brother's faces made it clear there was no battle to be won.
Donatello-"Actually, I was hoping to maybe explore some other dimensions. I mean we've only been to 2 counting Turtle Prime, and we didn't exactly have a whole lot of time to explore or enjoy either."
"You call mutant bananas enjoyable?" Mikey laughed.
Donatello-"You know what I mean. The smaller versions of us were, yes, very goofy, and the prime turtles were on their own level of crazy, but just think of all the different possibilities within the Turtleverse."
Donatello already couldn't wait to get back to his lab and continue making progress on his invention.
"Well, just try and take it easy, Don." Leonardo loved how enthusiastic his genius brother was about his projects, and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't intrigued at his brother's words concerning the Turtleverse also, but he still wanted to make sure Donatello didn't exhaust himself.
Raphael-"Well as long as we don't end up with another four Mikey clones I'll be happy."
Raphael barely ducked out of the way from the pizza slice Michelangelo threw at him.
As the brothers all laughed and ate together the machine in Don's lab started to give off purple electricity.
