Not home
"RAPH!" Leo shouted as he shot up from his sleep.
For a minute he thought that it was all a nightmare, until he looked around.
He wasn't home.
He was in some alley. "Maybe, I actually made a portal somewhere else?" He thought.
He got up and quietly walked to the street. He peeked around the corner and got suprised as he didn't see any humans on the street. He hid back in the alleyway, when he saw a huge mutant rhino come from one of the corners of the street.
"Mutant casually going on the street of New York?!" he thought to himself. Now the realization came.
This isn't his New York.
He looked around once more. Well, it looked like New York, but really faded and quiet.
As Leo was looking around himself, he didn't notice the horribly placed can in the middle of the alley.
He backed into it and it fell over. It made a loud noise in the quiet alley.
Leo's eyes widened as he heard the loud thumping of the rhino's feet from the street.
Louder and louder.
He backed in the end of the alley.
There was no manhole. And the rooftop was too high for him to reach.
He was cornered.
The steps were still getting louder by the second.
Until something pulled him onto the rooftop and he let out a quiet yelp.
Or rather someone.
The stranger put a hand over his mouth and shushed him.
Leo watched as the rhino ran into the alley and looked around for the intruder. Thankfully he couldn't see them on the rooftop.
The stranger put their hand away when the rhino walked away from the alley suspiciously.
The stranger turned Leo to face them.
Leo got a quick look at the figure, they had a faded hoodie with it's hood up, but had a very similar goggles.
The stranger gasped and stumbled backwards. Then they got to their feet and ran across the rooftops.
Leo wanted to call out after them, but then he remembered, that he doesn't want to attract attention, so he ran after the stranger instead.
Their steps were hardly heard even in the silence. And they were really quick too.
Leo had hard time catching up to them.
They were getting further away. "Dammit!" Leo thought.
The stranger jumped down into an alley. So Leo followed.
But they weren't there anymore.
Suddenly a quiet voice sounded behind him.
"…Leo?"
