Frostfall (Leonardo X Female Reader)

Mutagen Man Unleashed

Later that night, you and Leo met up on your rooftop to discuss what you saw. Secretly, you wished he brought his brothers, they sounded nice but you understood his wariness. He was the leader, he had to protect them, therefore he had to be wary of people. Both of you sat on the ledge of the roof.

"So? What did you find?" Leo asked, his blue eyes piercing yours.

"Okay so I got super eerie vibes in Walter's room, like, evil scientist kind of eerie. I went through his stuff and found this weird-looking key." You explained as you took out the key and placed it on his large green hand. He lifted it up to his face to get a closer look at it before lowering it. "I used it on the big bookshelf and it opened to reveal a secret passage leading down."

"Woah, creepy. Did you go inside?"

"Hell naw, man! I'm too young and beautiful to die." You replied with a hand on your chest..

"Okay okay!" He chuckled "Besides, it could've been dangerous. If you're going to go down there, I'll come with you."

A blush crept its way on your cheeks, feeling moved by his protective motive.You nodded at him and he secured the key on his belt. "Okay then. But then how will you come inside the house without being seen?" He smirked at that.

"I'm a ninja, Y/N, I can never be seen." He replied with a wink.

Oh God. That wink.

You giggled and lightly punched his shoulder, making him chuckle too. Silence fell between the two of you after that, both of you looking out at the beautiful city lights that shone in the dark night. A cold breeze sent shivers down Leo's spine, feeling cold. He wrapped his arms around himself to try and warm himself up and looked over at you. He raised a brow at how unfazed you were by the cold, especially since you were wearing a sleeveless F/C shirt with a turtleneck, dark blue jeans and F/C vans.

"Aren't you cold?" He asked.

"Nope! I'm immune to the cold. Put me in the freezer and I would be just fine." You replied with a cheeky smile, your eyes locking with his.

"How is that possible? Is it... your powers?"

"Yeah."

"What else can you do?"

You gave him a surprised look. He was interested in your powers? Well, he was the only person to know about them after all. That and he was a mutant, naturally he would be curious about humans or in your case, a powered human.

"Well uh... I can create ice constructs like spikes, shields and all. I can create a huge wave of mist from my body, surf on ice bridges, project fog and create a layer of ice on pretty much anything." You replied and his eyes widened.

"Woah, you can do a lot of things."

"Eh. I haven't been able to use them much, though. The only time I did was when the Kraang attacked the school and I saved my friend from being shot. It was a close call. Oh and when I had to defend myself from April's mutant bat of a dad."

Leo cringed at the mention of April's father; he still felt guilty for what happened. You noticed his expression and put a hand on his shoulder softly, giving him a warm smile.

"Hey, it's okay. Accidents happen. I'm not mad at you." You said.

"R-Right." His cheeks felt warmer at your soft touch and he could feel his heart race. "A-Anyway, I think I better head back, my brothers might be wondering where I am."

Your hand retracted itself from his shoulder and went on your lap, eyes avoiding his blue ones. He got up from his sitting position and looked down at you, extending his hand out for you to take. You smiled at him and gladly took his hand. However you were surprised by his inhumane strength as you were practically yanked up on your feet, losing your balance and putting your hands on his plastron to regain it. His hands were on your shoulders to keep you steady. Looking up at his ocean blue eyes, you felt like you lost your breath, you couldn't speak, you couldn't move, you felt light-weighted as if you were floating in space.
