Leo was just minding his business, in the middle of painting Raph's nails when suddenly his form fizzled out like a glitch in the universe.
When he opened his eyes, he was in some sort of... Stadium? Maybe? There were so many other turtles around, all seeming to be different versions of him and his siblings. His form warped and shifted as panic rose up into his throat, only calmed by the feeling of Raph's hand upon his shoulder.
"Uhh, Leo? Where are we?"
Leo shrugged, closing the bottle of nail polish for the moment.
He heard a loud crash from somewhere far off, and he felt Raph flinch. He startled as well, neck snapping loudly as he found himself staring at the now nearly upside-down crowd.
A different version of him, a more /alive/ version glanced at him in horror.
A version of him and Donnie in fancy outfits simply waved.
"Nice scarves, guys! Probably should invest in one of those myself, huh? Might help with uh..." He motioned towards his very broken neck. "This whole situation. Mind givin' me a little help, Raphie?"
Raph simply sighed, presumably rolling her eyes before Leo felt his neck snap back into place. He rolled his shoulders, groaning.
"God, that never gets better. You'd think being dead would mean I'd stop getting sore!"
Raph snorted.
"I'm just glad ya stopped complainin' about your back for once. Makes you sound like Dad."
Leo gasped in fake offense.
"I am nothing like dad! /I/ don't have to do the congo to fix my back problems!"
Raph laughed a little louder.
"I don't think anythin' could fix what you got goin' back there, bro."
Leo hummed, deep in thought.
"Maybe if I fall off another roof it'll fix me!" He laughed, and Raph felt her heart twinge.
She's glad he can at least joke about it now, even if she'll never be able to.
Raph pushes the memory of Leo bleeding out in her arms away, and focuses on moving through the crowd to find a place to sit.
"You still gotta finish my nails, Leo!" She wiggles her nails in his face, giggling when he playfully snaps his beak at her.
"Yeah, yeah, I know! I'll finish 'em in a sec, O great Princess Raphie." He ends the sentence with a dramatic bow, nearly falling over with how hard he's laughing.
Raph smiles fondly at her little brother, his happiness contagious.
"Seriously though, where the hell are we?"
Leo just shrugs again.
"I dunno, probably some sort of uhh..." Leo finds a place to sit on the floor. "Some sort of competition? Maybe? Or like, a pageant or something."
He waves Raph over, patting the spot next to him excitedly.
"Now sit down! Your nails are gonna have to be /perfect/ for this!"
