It's been two weeks since little Leo dropped through a portal onto their table on deaths door. He's had two bad fits since then but was able to be stabilized. Leonardo's never been more grateful to Draxum for engineering Leo  and his brother with superior healing capabilities. Since then Leonardo and his brothers decided to do the run for supplies. Luckily there wasn't any hiccups and everyone came out of it alive. A couple scrapes and bruises but other than that everyone was fine. They desperately needed those supplies even more so now with little Leo's arrival. He and his brothers are still utterly confused with this situation but there was nothing to do but wait until little Leo woke up the answer the many questions that started to build. The little guy had been in and out of consciousness able to sit up and eat but would go right back to sleep. He had nightmare frequently small whimpers and cry's would escape the kid. Along with whispers mostly incoherent and other were of what seemed to be him talking to his brothers well at Leonardo thinks so since his brothers names were said. It was now 6:30am Leonardo was up walking to the med bay to relieve Michelangelo from his post as little Leo's guard. A sudden blaring alarm broke the peaceful silence of the base. Leonardo's wrist band/ comm that Donatello gave each of the brothers showed that the alarm was set off in the med bay.

"MIKEY!?" Leonardo raced toward the med bay followed suit by Raphael and Donatello both who seemed jostled waking from whatever sleep they could get was always hard in the apocalypse you never could know when your next few winks would be. Donatello was typing away at his wrist, checking the cameras he's sure to have set up in the med bay probably to keep an eye on Leonardo when he's stuck in there. Leonardo despite being the team medic was not the best patient, which cause his brother a lot of worry. Donatellos face shifted his harsh lines of worry seeming to relax into his usually neutral ones. Donatello sighs tapping away on his wrist the alarms shutting off. Leonardo and Raphael looked at him expecting some sort of answer.

" Audible sigh, Little Leo's awake." Donatello states and Leonardo and Raphael relax slightly knowing now that it's not something more serious. The brothers arrived at the med bay and open the door to see Michelangelo with tears in his eyes smiling at a now awake little Leo.  Michelangelo turned to his brothers as they stepped into the med bay. Little Leo looking up to see them walk in as well.

"Whoa, older Mikey here was telling me about this place but I didn't really believe until I saw you." Little Leo said in a raspy voice sleep seeming to cling to it but the face the voice was attached to was wide awake and analyzing his surroundings. Leonardo and his brother stepped closer to the bed looking down at the younger Leo.

"So how ya feeling little guy...?" Raphael was the first to speak to the kid. Little Leo looked at him with wide eyes seemingly shocked at Raphael's enormous stature. Little Leo shook himself out of his daze and smiled at Raphael. Seeming to ignore the 'little guy' part of the question.

"I'm doing fine big guy..." little Leo sounded happy but at the same time terribly sad a hint of longing as he looked at Raphael. Raphael seeming to catch on becomes slightly uncomfortable. Leonardo tries switching the attention away from his oldest brother.

"Ya think your up to talking?" Leonardo asked little Leo who shot a look in his direction. The kids eyes seemed to darken as he analyzed Leonardo. A firm line seemed to take the place of the smile that once was there. The change startled Leonardo. He expected some sort of shock or maybe confusion? But the stone cold stare that he was being given was not on the list. The room seems to shift into a darker mood. His brothers looking between Leonard and little Leo. Confusion was on his brothers faces, Leonard's must of shown his own confusion on his face as well.

"I'll talk, but something to eat and drink would be great first. Then you can ask your questions." Little Leo states in a much calmer voice then Leonardo and his brothers were expecting. Michelangelo stood up abruptly breaking the silence that followed little Leo by the screeching of his chair. Michelangelo sent little Leo a gentle smile before looking at his brothers.
"I'll go make some soup for little Leo, you three..." Michelangelo sent his brothers a serious look "watch over little Leo and don't cause trouble." Michelangelo began to walk away but turned around to look at his older brothers before leaving the room. "And don't ask serious questions until I get back cape-ache?" Leonardo and his brothers standing beside him nodded rapidly. They were not going to get in trouble with Dr. Delicate touch, even in the apocalypse Dr. Delicate touch and Dr. Feelings were harder to deal with than the Krang. Michelangelo accepted their nods as a suitable response. Before leaving the doorway and heading to the kitchen. Leonardo and his remaining brothers turned to little Leo who had a nostalgic smile crossing his face as well as what seems to be bitter sadness.
