Future Leonardo stepped from the shadows, facing the turtles before nodding over at April, who was smiling tiredly back at him. He then moved himself so that he stood right in front of his younger counterpart, who simply stared up at him open-mouthed.
"L-Leo?" Raph stuttered again, looking at both the older and younger versions in confusion. "Leo...and Leo Two...?"
"Dude, that makes no sense," Mikey responded, folding his arms and cocking his head up at his red-clad brother.
"But standing in an alternate future of New York makes sense?" Raph seemed to question himself on this, rather than it being a question for his younger brother.
"April, just what are the other three doing here?" Future Leonardo demanded gruffly, pointing right at younger Leo's face. April shrugged her shoulders and turned away, causing Leonardo to sniff in Raph and Mikey's direction before shoving Leo out of the way so that he could leave the room.
April winced as the doors slammed behind her before smiling awkwardly at the younger turtles, she mouthed, "Sorry," as she placed her hand on Mikey's shoulder and ushered the three out of the main room and began walking them down the empty hallway.
"What was his problem?" Leo muttered, scuffing his feet against the polished floor.
"I really am sorry," April answered apologetically. "In this timeline, Leo went through so much in the past, he blames himself for the deaths of those close to him. We have all experienced sadness and hatred, but we continue to fight so that the future will again be bright as it once was."
"Sounds tough, April," Raph mumbled, glancing at the woman who simply smiled to her herself.
"At first, it was," she explained, looking up at the bright lights of the ceiling. "But we all had each other to get through the tough stages. Now, seeing all the carnage in the city is a common thing for us. We have literally gotten used to seeing New York like this now."
The three turtles all looked away from April, feeling sympathy for the woman but not wanting to display it to her. She chuckled quietly at them before patting Leo, who was walking beside her, on the back of his shell.
"Enough of this deep, sad talk, okay? Stay positive, guys!" she exclaimed, leading them through another set of double doors before stopping at a large wooden door. She grinned excitedly at their expressions, knowing that they had no idea what was behind the door. She let out another quiet chuckle before opening the latch and swinging the door open.
"APRIL!" yelled Future Raphael and Future Michelangelo in unison, noticing her straight away and then tackling her with a huge double-hug as soon as the woman stepped through the entrance, blocking the entire doorway completely.
"WHOA, DUDES!" Mikey yelped, looking at his older self while Raph and Leo just stared wide-eyed at the size of older Raph and Mikey.
"I got...taller," Raph decided, staring up at the huge red-banded turtle before squinting at the sewed-eyehole. "What the hell happened to me?"
"What happened to my arm?" Mikey whined from the background, pointing at his older-self.
"Guys!" Leo groaned, noticing the two older turtles staring at the three of them with hard expressions.
April winked at the two older turtles, before she and the two both moved out of the way, allowing the three younger turtles to see inside of the large room. The three stared wide-eyed at the figure in one of the beds, who was staring back at them with a similiar expression before it softened into a relieved, overjoyed smile.
"DONNIE!" the three all screamed at once, running up to their purple-clad brother and wrapping their arms around him tightly. Out of all of them, Mikey was the only one who's eyes watered at seeing their brother again but he quickly wiped them before anybody could tell that he was crying.
"We were so worried," Raph laughed, gently pushing Donnie playfully before putting his arm around his younger brother.
"It's good to see you guys," Donnie breathed, grinning at all of them before leaning back against the plump cushion and closing his eyes for a few seconds.
While the four younger turtles reunited, April watched happily, folding her arms and taking a seat beside Angel's bed while the older turtles sat on the empty bed beside Angel, who watched the scene with the same expression as April.
"They're all so cute," she whispered, winking at Raphael, "even you, Raph," which earned a smirk from the adult red-clad turtle.
