Leo looked down at his hands. He was still holding his tea cup. It was from a new set that Machi had given him for his birthday. The whole set was painted in his favorite blue. It was calming. And this was the first time he'd ever used it.

Unfortunately, he was no longer in his meditation room sipping his tea.

He continued to sit where he had landed in his inter-dimensional journey and surveyed the space around him. He had been pulled out of his dimension and into a strange one. Again.

Raphael was going to kill him.

Based on the arm waving and loud tone of voice by the man standing in front of the rest of the group, Leo was going to guess that he'd been pulled in to be an unwilling warrior for another rebellion. The leader was currently spouting the superior merits of their group based on their working transporter and Leo's eyes moved away from the indescript field surrounded by tiki torches and over to the machine the leader was obviously so proud of. Leo almost smirked. If Donnie was here he'd laugh outright at the ancient, huge machine.

What had his life come to that he could tell how outdated an interdimensional transporter was on sight?

He carefully set the tea cup down beside him before he slowly rose to stand. The action caused the group to immediately begin to advance on him. His hands twitched for his swords, which of course he didn't have on him. But as his eyes narrowed in on the round-bellied men coming towards him, he knew he wasn't going to need them.

Their hands were easily knocked away from his shell and he aimed his fist directly for the leader, intent on sending an immediate message to the rest of the group. He had a small amount of vengeful glee as the leader hit the ground with a loud thud.

The other men hesitated for a moment as their leader fell and the turtle moved into a fighting stance. Clearly there hadn't been a plan for how to handle the warrior past just getting him here.

"I was busy," Leo growled.

Another man decided to attack and Leo swung his leg out to land a kick directly into the man's chest, knocking him back and into two other men. Leo side-stepped his small tea cup as he wrapped an arm around the neck of another man and whipped him around so the guy's flailing feet took down another couple guys.

"Zero manners," Leo grumbled as he dropped the guy out of the choke hold and left him to cough on the ground.

He stepped over his tea cup and kicked over a tiki torch before he caught and twisted a random wrist attempting to grab his shoulder.

"Cant even sit and enjoy post-meditation tea without -," A heaving tug and the guy was flipped onto his back to land with a loud grunt before Leo continued to grumble about his interrupted morning.

He glanced back to this group's interdimensional transporter and happily noted that the tiki torch had landed exactly where he had hoped and the ancient machine was already past saving thanks to the fire.

At least one thing was going right this morning.

He ducked down to avoid a wooden stick aimed for his head and swung his leg out to trip the last two men coming for him.

"Oh come on," he groaned as his sweep resulted in one of the men bumping his tea cup as the pudgy man landed hard on the ground. The small blue cup flew across the grass and Leo groaned as his tea was left to soak into the ground. He scooped up the cup and growled when he saw the small chip in the rim. "Perfect," he muttered.

He continued to shake his head as his attention moved to his own transporter. Donatello had made their new interdimensional transporters so small that they were able to be installed into their belts. Donnie liked to say that the main purpose was to make it easier for Leo and Raph to dimension hop and visit Akito at college. But, Leo was pretty sure Donnie was just tired of tracking him down every time he was pulled into a new dimension against his will.

He couldn't really blame him.

He punched in the code that would take him home and glared one last time at the group's leader who was groggily sitting up from where Leo had dropped him earlier.

A moment later he was standing in the middle of his apartment's main room. He sighed as he looked down at his empty, chipped tea cup and turned to head to the kitchen.

Their apartment door swung open and Raph appeared, eyes slightly wide as he scanned the room, which was followed by an obvious moment of relief when he spotted Leo.

Leo cringed as he realized he'd been closed up in his meditation room upstairs while Raph was right outside the door lifting weights in the main dojo room. And Raphael had obviously found the meditation room empty. He briefly wondered if Raph would believe that he was so advanced in his ninjitsu skills that he could exit the dojo without Raphael even noticing.

Raphael kept his eyes pinned on Leo as he closed their apartment door and stalked towards his mate.

"What the fuck happened?" Raph asked, his voice a low grumbling warning.

"Happened?"

Raph's eyes narrowed at Leo's innocent face. "Yer sweating. And ya smell like smoke. And there's no way ya got past me in the dojo."

Leo almost smiled at Raph's immediate denial of the very thought he'd just had. Instead, he turned and continued into the kitchen. He placed the chipped tea cup down on the counter and pulled down a new, clean cup to pour himself a refill.

Raphael picked up the discarded cup and frowned at the obvious blemish. "Leo," he said, his tone demanding.

Leo was finally able to take one long sip of tea before he set down the new cup and moved across the kitchen to wrap his arms around Raphael. He tucked his face into Raph's neck and was grateful when Raph's strong arms went around his shell.

"So help me, Leo, if ya were pulled into another fire -,"

Leo shook his head and kissed Raph's neck, immediately cutting off his lecture.

"I took care of it this time," Leo murmured. "Even destroyed their transporter on the way out."

Raphael growled anyway, although he was slightly relieved he hadn't known Leo had been pulled away until after he'd already returned. This time.

"You want to come help wash the smoke smell off me?"

Raph nodded as he hoisted Leo up by his thighs in order to carry him off to their shower.
