Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
since there is little content about this verse I decided to make this post for it but if you want me to do it for the 2012 or 2014/16 tell me and I gladly do it!
Before I start I would like to say that I love that there are multiple verses because the guys personalities varies from each one and so, some of their personality traits too. That being said I hope you enjoy my headcanons! <3
1. Who is a night owl?: I think that Leo would be the night owl in these verse. His days on the jungle would keep him awake once he came back home. Everything was so different, from the environment to his brothers. Especially Raph. He would spend hours thinking on his quality of leader of the team as well as his relationship with his brothers, how the training trip affected diverse aspects of his life. Leo would meditate about his own persona, and how all that time alone might have changed him.
2. Who is a morning person?: MIKEY seriously, you would think that living in a sewer would be everything but interesting but this guys has the ability to find amusement in the smallest things and what better what of finding out new things than to wake up early in the morning. I can also see Donnie as a morning person, he enjoys the silent bc that make his job easier (cuz there are o distractions)
3. Are they cuddlers?
I think all of them would love to cuddle with their s/o but ones more than others. Here is the list from the most cuddly to the less:
Mikey Cuddly 10 / 10
Leo (surprisingly) Cuddly 9.5 /10
Raph Cuddly 9 / 10
Donnie Cuddly 8 / 10
4. Who is the big spoon?: Raph, Leo
5. Who is the little spoon?: Mikey (I have the feeling that he likes to be held)
Can be both: Donnie
6. What is their favourite sleeping position (individually)?:
Leo: on his back, or leaned on his right side. He sleeps peacefully but is a light sleeper.
Raph: On his back with both flexed arms and hands below his head, or just on his back but holding a pillow.
Donnie: Practically sitting tbh (due to his job) but usually falls asleep siting in front the computer.
Mikey: curled-up fetal position, sometimes holding a pillow
7. Who steals all the blankets?:
Mikey and Raph still all the blankets.
Donnie’s and Leo’s S/O still the blankets.
8. Who falls asleep mid-conversation?: Only the youngest of the brothers!
Raph
Mikey
9. Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares? (from the one who is more likely to the least likely)
Mikey: His nightmares are about birthday parties (and this is canon lol)
Raph: About himself as the nightwatcher, crossing the line and killing someone out of rage. Also could be about Leo dying while he was training far from home.
Leo: From weird things he saw on the jungle to lose one of his siblings in battle.
Donnie: rarely has nightmares
10. Who kisses their s/o awake in the morning?:
Leo and Mikey kiss their s/o awake in the morning
Donnie and Raph are kissed awake by their s/o in the morning
hope you like it!
TINY TURTLE-
Here it is just not in video format.
Kirby has some dark humor due to him living with some interesting yokai.
Up close shots of the two, they have a enemies to friends relationship that does end up romantic but that’s later on in the future, like after what happens in the ROTTMNT movie.
Part 4!
This is what I did last then I took a break again, and now I’m working on it again! I’ll post. Character sheets and stuff of these two mysterious characters and such!
I hope everyone will be patient and enjoys!
Part 1 , Part 5
Part 3!
Look at that art style shift! Now why is that?! Okay so I had took a year long break as I wanted to focus on my original stories and yeah, I had forgot about my comic until I think TMNT MM was released I think, this was uploaded around September 12 - November 12, 2023!
My art has improved and I’m glad of how far I’ve come! Even storytelling wise. I do reread my stuff to make sure I don’t have anything misspelled or misunderstood as I suffer with dyslexia. Like really badly. My brain thinks faster than what my hands can keep up with. So I do apologize if I do have some stuff misspelled!
Part 1 , Part 4
Part 2!
I will be honest, Leo is a bit of a shit head in this old art interpretation and honestly I might bring it back slightly, lol
Also I’m noticing how different my art looks back then from now and you’ll notice it in the next part ha-
Part 1 , Part 3
I’m reuploading this comic cause I am still working on it, it’s called I sometimes go from one special interest to another,, this one and the next post I originally made on September 23, 2021. The story is still the same however!
Taking place a couple of months after the fight with Shredder and with Leonardo now as the leader, he has a ego due to said fight with Shredder. Is he ready for his first real mission as the leader and for what comes his way?
Also the comic is called Oblivious Sonder AU, cuz I mean it is a sorta AU but also not??? Idk it just has characters that I made myself and some from past iterations that I wanted to put in.
Part 2
*It can be about anything and from any iteration.*
Hi everyone! I’ve wanted to know the most common criticisms about the franchise for a while now, so why not ask now.
I believe some of you know that I wrote a post about my own version of the TMNT. One of my strategies for writing it is to read fans fair criticisms and not making the same mistakes as the previous iterations.
I haven’t found a lot so I would like to know what you guys disliked(fill free to say your likes too) about the franchise.
You can talk about characters, plot, etc. from any iteration. Talk about multiple iterations if you want.
Thanks for reading! 😊❤️
Hi everyone! Ever since I’ve seen some Instagram posts about TMNT fans’ versions of the show, I’ve wanted to do this. But most of them had drawings so I felt insecure since I’m not a great artist. But I still wanted to give it a try.
Anyway, lets get this started.
Note: This is in beta and changes might happen in the future.
…………………………………
It all starts similarly like the other versions.
The turtles want to explore the city and sneak out. Everything is as normal as New York can be, but it changes when the ninja turtles come across a certain red head (😉) sneaking around. They follow her and discover an alien ship. Having no choice to take the role as the new girl’s protectors, the turtles watch over as she gains information on the aliens such as their species- the Kraang- and their objective with Earth. When the girl is captured, the brothers save her and escape.
She reveals herself to be April O’Neil and explains what she was doing. April is a high school sophomore who works in a news station as an intern, and she wants to prove her abilities with a breakout story. Unlike other versions, the turtles and April don’t have an immediate connection and have no expectations to meet again. The turtles are distrustful of humans since their father/sensei warned them that being accepted by humans will be nearly impossible. Due to underlying issues, April is prone to avoiding people and rarely lets anyone in, except her roommate and best friend Irma. It would take a few episodes for their friendship to really grow and develop.
Splinter doesn’t intervene with his sons’ visits to the city for weeks until they come back injured from a Kraang fight. He decides to ban them from leaving the house in his extreme view of keeping them safe. Splinter lifts the rule when he learns the gravity of the Kraang. With that, he trains his sons harder than ever.
The first season focuses on the brothers’ relationship and growth as a team. Leo learns how to mature and become a leader; Donnie learns to follow his instincts more. Raphael learns to get over his insecure and impulsive nature. Mikey learns to be more mature and open with negative feelings.
The Shredder takes a backseat as the villain until season two, though he appears in season one alongside Karai.
[B]“A” Plots:
-Turtles vs. Kraang
-Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mikey arcs begin: 1-3 episodes will focus on each of them
-April/Turtles’ Friendship
[B]“B” Plots:
-April’s Past
-Splinter’s Past
-Shredder
-Karai/Leo’s Relationship
-Casey/April/Irma Friendship
……………………………
This is all I have so far. I’ve only just started on this and I mostly focused on characterization and character development. I’ll have more info to reveal once I post about the characters. I’ve been thinking about writing my version as a book, but I don’t know. It would be fun to see people’s thoughts.
I hope you enjoyed it! 😊
Comment your thoughts.
Mine: One of Leo’s greatest wishes is to be a father.
I had a hard time picking 2003 or 2012 Leo for this headcanon, but a friend helped me decide.
So, what made me pick 2012 Leo over the 2003 version was just the vibes or hints the show gave that Leo had this fatherly nature. Plus, did you see him holding baby Karai and having tea time with that little girl? That is true dad power.
2003 Leo was also an option since I read a lot of fics that added the wish to be a father to his character. It actually works well with him.
What do you guys think? 😊❤️TMNT
The 2012 version of TMNT is pretty well-known for not having the best characters' storyline endings. Timothy/Pulveriser, Fugitoid, and Alopex are the ones I have heard the most.
I'm curious to see which characters will have the most votes.
If I had to pick, I would say Timothy. He stayed as a frozen mutant even after Donatello found a cure. The Pulveriser may not be the best character but he deserved a happy ending.
Leo almost dying twice and Splinter’s death effected Donnie more than the others.
*MENTIONS OF BLOOD & DEATH*
This is one of my favorite headcanons I wrote since I really delve into Donnie’s character even if it is not canon.
I came to the conclusion based on something Donnie said in season 5 in the Monster arc. While in a fight, Donnie mentioned that he hated blood. Someone had a headcanon that Splinter’s death was the reason. After getting stabbed and dropped from a building, there would be a lot of blood, but it was censored.
With Leo, Donnie felt like it was his fault his brother almost died the first time because Leo separated from the group after their argument.
I don’t know if I overanalyzed Donnie’s reaction to Leo’s second near death experience. I know the brothers were all there, but Donnie was sort of the medic and was trying to revive Leo. A lot of things must have been going through his head. Like if he does the wrong or no action, Leo will die and it will be his fault. Everyone would be devastated, but Donnie would make it tougher to handle since he will always wonder, “I healed him once, why couldn’t I do it again?” It would eat away at him of what might have been.
Leo survived, but those questions will never stop running through Donnie’s mind.
Splinter’s death had an affect on him because as I mentioned before, Donnie is the medic of the family. Seeing that he couldn’t do anything to save his father, only hug him along with his brothers. For the first few months, Donnie will try to find ways to prevent someone from dying, so he could save any of his loved ones.
Well, that’s it. Can’t believe I wrote so much.
What do you guys think? 😊❤️
This is based on their style and interest in music from the episode “Al Be Back.” The episode is basically about them fighting Albeartos with the power of music.
Raphael: Adele, Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande, and John Legend.
Donatello: Calvin Harris, Zedd, Galantis, Lady Gaga, Alesso, Daft Punk, Disclosure, Broadway Musicals.
Leonardo: Queen, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Journey, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin
Michelangelo: Missy Elliot, NF, Drake, Macklemore, Logic, Twenty One Pilot, Post Malone.
What do you guys think? Comment what you think their favorite artists or songs would be. 😊❤️
I’ve got this idea because I’m in a meeting about learning the community and terms. I wanted to do this during Pride month, but forgot.
Any versions you can think of.
Here are mine:
2003 Version:
Leo: Gay

So, this version of April is pretty controversial, especially beyond this community. Many fans accuse her of being a toxic, manipulative women. Even some fans would use derogatory words. For me, she is not so bad. Not my favorite, but pretty okay.
I’m not trying to convince others to change their minds. I respect everyone’s opinions because everyone matters is many ways. All I want to do is explain how I see April and get some of you guys’ opinions.
Hope you enjoy this analysis! And comment down below if you would like me to analyze another character.
Anyway, here we go.
The Main Issues
Season 2:
This season was where it all began with April hate train.
I think almost everyone can agree that April wasn’t so bad in season one, maybe even likable. At least, I did.
But all that potential love went down the drain once season two started.
The first episode, called “The Mutation Situation,” takes place a few months after they defeat the Kraang and the Shredder disappeared. Everything seemed fine since April’s dad was back and the city hadn’t been attacked. But, the Turtles once again have to face the Kraang and stop them from transporting their mutagen supply. They asked for April and her dad’s help to find the ship, though she had to trick him into doing it. The four brothers destroyed the ship, but they paid the price because all of the mutagen in the ship fell off, scattered across the city. One of the vials was going to drop on April, except her father took the hit and mutated into a human-sized bat.
Kirby kidnaps April and the guys have to save her. Once they did, Michelangelo reveals that him and his brother’s were indirectly responsible for the incident.
April gets so mad and storms off, wishing to never see them again.
Okay, so from my perspective, I understand why April broke down and said those hurtful things the first time. She went through a lot during the first season. With her dad being held captive for so long, getting kidnapped and probed by the Kraang, and being forced to relinquish most of her old life.
I’m surprised she isn’t even a bit traumatized.
When April believed the Kraang were defeated and her dad was safe, she was happy to have her life back in some kind of order. Yet, in basically a day, that whole dream died right in front of her. She was tired of all the fighting, and lost it when she realized she would have to again. In her irrational, emotional mind, I think she was angry at the turtles for more than just accidentally mutating her dad. She associated them as the start to all the craziness she didn’t want.
After everything she went through, April was desperate to have some clarity that she was willing to throw away her close friends.
I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have apologized. April needed to apologize.
What I didn’t condone from this arc was her yelling at Donnie in “Target: April O’Neil.” She went a bit off line and at least should’ve had some sense in what she was saying. Maybe Donnie practically stalking got her upset, but I get why people would get upset with her over that.
The Love Triangle:
This love triangle was the worst written plot point in this show. I still love the show, but god this needed so much work.
I believe there were some Apritello shippers around season one. I kind of shipped them.
This ship was ruined once season two came around with that April arc and introducing Casey.
I love Casey, but he was mostly used as a plot device for the love triangle. He had so much more potential than what he got.
Based on the comments about the triangle, most people have an issue with their belief that April was manipulating the guys and how unclear the status of either Apritello or Capril.
I just got to say that poor April was dragged through the mud because of the writer’s mistakes. They confused the h*ll out of us, or at least me, with all the will they, won’t they switcheroo. It was hard to tell if April liked Donnie, Casey, both, or none of them. I think the main goal with this triangle was the writers indecision to either follow the 2003 version’s lead with Capril or go their own path with Apritello. If they had decided, this plot point would have been so much better.
To be honest, I think the writers stopped April from making a decision to make the show “interesting. ”In season 3, it seemed like April wanted to be with Donnie. Casey and her were also acting more like friends instead of love interests. Yet, in the first episode of season 4, they had to make him get love struck over her new outfit.
Ughh... the writers confused me too much.
I think it didn’t come to fans’ minds that maybe April was confused with her feelings. Maybe she liked both guys and didn’t reject both of them outright because of her need to clear her head. Sure, it was a bad idea to be honest with them, but people make mistakes.
“The Power Inside Her”:
People are a bit harsh towards April in this episode. I totally get how they feel, though their hate for her could have clouded their judgment.
The biggest complaint I have seen about this episode is the fans being angry with April for not breaking from the alien’s control. Compared to the aeon, Za-Naron, April is a not that experience with her mental powers. Communicating or using their mental powers is normal for the Aeons, while April figured out how to use them a few months or a year ago. As she kept the crystal, Za-Naron control over her grew stronger. I think that if any other character like Leo or Donnie, fans would be more lenient since their writing was way better.
Of course, April needed to apologize for temporary killing Donnie, and hurting her friends; good thing she did. I don’t hold it against her as much as other fans.
Conclusion:
After finishing the analysis, I concluded that April is a victim of bad writing instead of a terrible character. I know there’s an argument that the writing doesn’t really play a part with liking or disliking a character, but it does. Writers decide every character’s actions and create the person they’ll become. Reducing April to a plot device for romance was terrible. Not seeing April’s potential was one of the greatest disappointments in TMNT 2012.
If you still don’t like April, that’s fine. I’m not trying to change your mind. All I want is to open their perspectives and see that all the hate April gets can be explained.
Hope you enjoyed this analysis. Comment down below your thoughts.
Do you agree or disagree?

It was dark, cold, and wet as Malik was laying flat on his back on the wet, sandy, shore line of a beach. A bruise had formed a dark shade of purple on his forehead, his cloths were soaked for the cold ocean waters as fingers began to sink a little onto the sand as time went on for who knows how long now.
Voice: Brother, please wake up.
Malik: hm... w-what? *sits up and rubs his head*
Malik noticed a little plastic bag tied to his wrist, that looked like the other half was torn apart from it.
Malik: ... (what happen?)
Voice: Don't you remember what happened brother? What happened to the artist... out at sea?
Malik turned immediately pale as the memories of what happened came rushing back to him. The narrow escape they had with two templar agents, the water ride down the New York water canal, getting hit twice in the forehead, him and Leonardo getting sent out to sea- ... Leonardo... Leonardo-
Malik: DA VINCI! *gets up and starts looking around frantically* DA VINCI! LEO! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? LEONARDO!!!
Malik starts running down the shore, looking around for the renaissance artist, when not a moment later, Malik makes a sharp stop as he skids across the sand to see by the shoreline someone laying unconscious in the sand.
Malik: Leonardo?! *runs over to the person*
Sure enough, it was Leonardo. He was found laying on his side shivering from the cold waters tgat have left also soaked his cloths. His beret, luck for him, was just a few inches away from his person, sitting soaked and dirtied by the sand. His wrist also had the other half of the plastic bag that Leonardo had tied around both him and Malik's wrist.
Malik: Leo! *helps lift him a bit, but keeps him on his side* Hey! Leonardo! *slaps him a bit on the cheek* Hey! come on Leonardo! Speak to me damn it!
Malik couldn't help but remember something similar like this happening once. Back when he and Altair were novices, Malik rememberes a particular time when he was trying to teach Altair how to swim. His brother Kadar was there to support them as Malik tried to coach Altair how to swim. Only for Altair to end up being accidentally swept up by the current the minute he tried to get his first stroke in. Malik had to not only save him, but also resuscitate him while his brother panicked the whole time.
"in a whisper"
Malik: "Novice. Never again." *turns Leonardo over and is about to resuscitate him*
Just before Malik could do anything, Leonardo began to move a little, when all of a sudden he quickly sat up straight and began to cough up all the sea water from his lungs, regaining his breath after the water was all out.
Leonardo: *still shaking a bit* *cough* *cough* uh... M-Malik?
Malik: *face covered in the coughed up sea water* . . . charming, but yes- *wipes the water off his face* it's me.
Leonardo: S-Scusate about that M-Malik. *grabs his Beret and wrings out a bit of the water*
Malik: *sighs* it's fine Leonardo. Belive me, you could have done worse to me while waking up from something like that.
Leonardo: *puts his hat back on his head* How so?
Malik: Well, *takes the plastic off his wrist* like you could have socked me clean in the jaw or eye while waking up.
Leonardo: *chuckles* had a personal first hand experiences, I'm guessing? *takes the plastic off his wrist too*
Malik's mouth formed a straight line as he remembered the aftermath of resuscitating Altair back to life. The first time it happened he could see Altair's chest rising and falling like normal. Signaling that he was still alive, but he didn't move other then that. Not until Malik got closer, mid-way saying his name, Altair shot up and socked Malik in the face out of reflex. Altair apologized after words but the memory of how hard he hit him just kind of stuck with him. He also remembered how his brother's worry turned into laughter at his brothers poor misfortune. The second time however, happend kind of similarly, but he ended up getting hit in the eye instead. He stopped trying to teach Altair how to swim after that.
Malik: -_- ... ya, you can say that. Let's go with that... how are you feeling?
Leonardo: Much better now. *forms a small smile* Thanks to you of course.
Malik: it was no trouble. "not the first time I had to save a drowning man".
Leonardo: *tilts his head in curiosity at Malik* ...
Malik: ... What? Is something-
Leonardo: *grabs both side of Malik's head, pulls his forehead up closer to himself and seems to be examining Malik's forehead*
Malik: Hey! *struggles in his grip* What hell are you doing!?
Leonardo: My that's quite the nasty bruise you have on your head. You need medical attention right away!
Malik: *breaks free from Leonardo's grip* I'm fine for now Leonardo.
Leonardo: are you sure? A bruise like that on the head would have knocked you cold at least for a long while.
Malik didn't want to think about how long they might have been there for, seeing how it is now pitch back in the night means they have been a drift at sea for hours. He was just glad he didn't lose his memories or got some kind of head trauma. Who knows if Leonardo would have woken up if Malik hadn't waken up as well.
Malik: ... I'm fine really Leonardo.
He didn't want to think about that.
Malik: *quickly stands up* Now let's- *almost tips over from dizziness* wow-!
Leonardo: *catches him and sits him back down* I think other wise.
Malik: Ugh- I told you I'll be ok. I just stood up to quickly... what of yourself? Your lungs were practically like water balloons when I found you.
Leonardo: I am still breathing, am I not. Though it seems like one of us will pass out not only from exhaustion, but a hit to the head as well.
Malik: *sighs* Look, once we find shelter for the night, you can mother me all you like. *searches his jacket pocket for the drive* at least we escaped with the-
Malik felt around his pocket for the drive only to find, it wasn't in there.
Malik: sh*t!
Leonardo: what's wrong, Malik?
Malik: Damn it! The drive is gone! It could have been carried off MILES out to sea for all-
Leonardo: *pulls out the drive in the plastic baggie* this?
Malik: ...
Leonardo: *chuckles* have no fear my friend, it is safe with me.
Malik: *sighs in relief* thank god you suggested that we carry it in a plastic bag.
Leonardo: Wel, looking back on it now, it wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Malik: *nods* guess so.
Leonardo: ... *looks around* ... uh... Malik?
Malik: yes Leo?
Leonardo: Where are we exactly?
Malik: ... I'm not sure? *slowly stands up this time and Helps Leonardo up*
The two turned around to see a large metal fence concreted down, sperating the beach from a roadway that was illuminated by street lights. Not to far from the road was a billboard, while the roadway continued on towards a large city.
Leonardo: ... are we still in New York? Or are we... some place else?
Malik: hm... that billboard might give us a bit more information. I doubt our phones will work, after being washed up from the shores. *starts walking towards the fence*
Leonardo: *puts the drive away and quickly follows behind*
Once they got to the Fence, Malik began to swiftly climb up over the fence. Despite getting his prosthetic arm wet, it still functioned as normal as he scaled the chain linked fence. He'll have to thank Rebecca again later for the water tight protection. Once he reached the top, he dropped down with a tuck an roll landing perfectly on the other side.
Leonardo: ...
Malik: ok, your turn Leonardo. Be quick though, I fear someone will not want us to be here this time of hour.
Leonardo: coming! ... *starts to slowly climb the fence*
Leonardo slowly made his way up the chain linked fence, making sure not to slip or miss place his footing. Once he reached the top he froze as he looked down, suddenly realizing now how tall he underestimated the fence.
Malik: ... well? What's the hold up?
Leonardo: it's uh... rather high... don't you think?
Malik: come now Leonardo, your over exaggerating.
The fence seemed to be a 12 feet tall fence. To Leonardo this might as well have been a building ledge. Malik however.
Malik: it's just a short drop down, nothing more.
Leonardo: *gulps* uh... I think I'll just climb down. *is getting ready to climb down* you'll catch me if I fall right?
Malik: *sighs* you have my word.
Leonardo: Grazie. *starts to make a slow decent down*
As he got closer half way down the water dripping from his clothes caused Leonardo to slip by accident as he began to fall the rest of the way down.
Leonardo: AAAH! MALIK! CATCH ME CATCHMECATCHME-
Malik: HOLD ON! *Jumps over to Leonardo and catches him*
The gravity pulled the two down as Malik caught Leonardo, but sadly got the worst of it as Leonardo landed on top of him.
Leonardo: *laying on top of Malik* ugh... grazie Malik... for catching me...
Malik: no trouble Leonardo... no trouble at all... now would you be so kind... as to get off of me now?
Leonardo: oh! *quickly gets off of Malik* scusate Malik. *scratches the back of his head*
Malik: *gets up* it's fine Leonardo. *sighs* now then, let's see where we are. *walks towards the Billboard*
Leonardo: *follows behind*
Once they reached the billboard. Their eyes widen almost in perfect unison as they read; welcome to Jacksonville Florida. Malik's left eye started to twitch as he kept re-reading the billboard over and over in his head.
Leonardo: uh... Malik? ...
Malik: *through gridded teeth* yes? Leonardo?
Leonardo: ... We some how seem to have ended up in Florida...
Malik: I can see that quite well Leonardo... what I want to know is... How. The. hell. Did WE END UP IN FLORIDA!!!
Leonardo: ... Well... look on the bright side Malik.
Malik: *just glares a Leonardo* how... I wanna know... how exactly there is a bright side to all this?
Leonardo: . . . At least we're not dead? *shrugs sheepishly and nervously*
Malik: . . . Heh. . . Heheh... Haha! *insane laughter* at least we're not dead he says! Haha! nahn lam namta! (We're not dead!) Haha- *slowly just falls onto his knees* Uugh... we're so screwed. . .
Leonardo: ... *puts his index finger to his chin* maybe that hit to the head did more damage then I feared.
Malik: ... *sighs* L-Look I'm sorry... I will admit... that was probably not a pleasant sight to see... it's late, we're tired... *stands back up* let's just start walking towards the city and find a place to stay... *Yawns* Then we'll wake up with a more rested minds and plan our way back home, before William comes to pick up the drive in New York.
Leonardo: *nods* sounds like a good plan to me.
Malik: good, now let's make our way over then... it's going to be a long walk. *starts walking in the direction of the city*
Leonardo: *is about to follow Malik but suddenly stops and turns around* hm?
Leonardo turns around in the opposite direction of city and notices a bright light, not to far from where he was standing.
Leonardo: *turns back over at Malik before looking back at the bright light, then back to Malik* ... *starts rushing toward the bright lights*
Malik: *walking exhaustedly towards the city* ... *starts to rub his forehead from the pain* Ugh... Leonardo... I want to apologize for... all this- and before you say, oh it's not your fault, nothing could have been done, like you always do... I just want to say that I still can't help but feel responsible for dragging us both into this mess... Gah! I shouldn't have left my guard down even for a second! ... I shouldn't have been so distracted in my own mind from the past... But I guess... maybe there wasn't much that could have been done... just... glad that your safe... Heh, I guess not being dead really is a bright side after all? ... *sighs* looks like it's going to be a long walk... just, wish we had a quicker way to get to the city.
The sound of a bus slowly pulling up next to Malik, grabs his attention as he looks up at the bus as it stops. The bus doors open, as Leonardo pokes half of his upper body out the bus to great Malik.
Leonardo: Then wish no more my friend! Hop in!
Malik: *is just stunned* ... w-what?
Leonardo: *chuckles* I don't think this a good time to get cold feet my friend! especially after being in cold waters for so long.
Malik: . . .
Leonardo: Well, come along. it's quite warm in here! *retreats back into the bus*
Malik: I... *quickly makes his way into the bus*
It was a tour bus with comfortable seating. Leonardo sat in the front second row of the bus by the window, waving Malik down.
Leonardo: Ah, Malik! Glad your cold feet didn't freeze you completely!
Malik: how... where did you-
Bus driver: your friend here saw my floodlights were on and he stopped by to help me get my bus back up and running again.
Malik: he did? *turns over to Leonardo*
Leonardo: *smiles* Si, I noticed Alvin's bus was stranded on the side of the road before I followed you.
Alvin: Yep, the man wanted to check and see if everything was ok. I told him that my bus had broke down while on my way back to Jacksonville, and he offered me a hand and helped me fix up my bus.
Leonardo: *nods* Alvin, was kind enough to offer us a free ride, to a cheap motel he knows about in the city that we can stay in.
Alvin: Think of it as just a thank you for helping me get back to Jacksonville.
Malik: I... I see... uh- thank you, Alvin.
Alvin: anytime.
Malik: *goes to sit next to Leonardo*
The bus doors close as the bus started to move again.
Leonardo: *just looking out the window, seeming to be lost in his head smiling*
Malik: ... (how does he do that?) ... hey.
Leonardo: hm? *turns to face Malik* Yes Malik?
Malik: look, I'm glad you helped the man with his bus, but next time... Tell me, if you see anything. Instead of wondering off towards it, ok? I didn't even noticed that you weren't even behind me anymore.
Leonardo: *nods* Of course, I'll let you know next time if I see anything.
Malik: Good. We don't want anything bad happening to you Leo. You know-
Leonardo: *sighs* I know, I know. "I play such an important role in history..." *his smile fades*
Malik: ... I know that I'm not good with... emotions but... I know you don't exactly like being restrained by such rules and they seem rather-
Leonardo: imprisoning...
Malik: ... *sighs* im sorry if it seems that way, but understand we do care about you and your safety and after the incident at Abstergo...
Leonardo: . . . *just looks way towards the window, with a look of anxiousness, his hands folded neatly on his lap* ...
Malik: ... never mind, I know you rather keep that in the past.
Leonardo: ...
Malik: ... (it's werid seeing Leonardo when he's like this... it's almost... weirdly... unnatural?) ... I'm sorry about-
Leonardo: it's fine Malik, *looks at him* I understand. *gives Malik a small soft smile*
Malik: ... *nods* glad you understand. *yawns* Once we get there... we'll think of a plan from there... and we'll be home in no time at all. *relaxes back in his seat a bit and closes his eyes*
Leonardo: ... *continues his gaze towards the window in thought*
Leonardo's mind couldn't help but revisit that day... he rememberes it still clear as day as if ti happened just yesterday, despite it happening only two months ago (his ability to remember things with great detail is a blessing and a curse). He really hoped that working on other projects and helping the assassins from the house would help his mind move on and hopefully forgot everything that happened that day. His eyes slowly grow heavy as exhaustion washes over him.
He remembered how it all happened, how could he not? After all, it all happened so fast, how just a simple mission as this went south so quickly. The mission was seemed easy enough, find where Abstergo was hiding one of Leonardo's old notebooks for information and have Leonardo himself decode it. However this plan was meet with great heated debate among the assassins, on whether or not Leo should even in come in the first place. One side was concerned with the fact that if something should happen to him everything would go into shambles time as they knew it now, would no longer be what it is. The others thought this would get the job done quicker and over with, considering how old they pages must be by now, they couldn't risk the notebook being damged if they were more then likely to most get into a fight with old enemies. Ezio was very much against the idea of this plan and actually tried to get people to have Leonardo speak for himself on this matter, but William proposed they vote on this matter.
They all agreed and just like that, the plan for Leonardo to tag along had won the votes, with William being the final vote. Ezio argued with William for an hour straight that this was a terrible idea and that it was best to just bring the journal back for Leonardo to decode from the safty of their home. But arguing was fruitless.
Ezio was Angery beyond degree for this and told Leonardo that if something happened to him, William would pay heavily for this. Leonardo told Ezio that maybe things won't be to bad, but Even Leonardo was a bit frightened by this decision. On the drive over to Abostergo Ezio tried to make Leonardo feel more comfortable about this whole thing, as well as no doubt trying to make himself feel a bit better. Jacob would also through a few words of encouragement and laughs in, and soon Ezio started to have a bit of pride in his voice when he was talking with Leonardo in the van. Letting him now that he'll be by his side and will keep a close eye on him while infiltrating Abstergo.
Weridly enough during Ezio's talking Malik was the first one to speak up truthfully about this whole matter.
Flash back
Ezio: Just stay close by, and don't stay to far from us.
Leonardo: *nods* I will.
Ezio: Bene! Don't worry, mio Amico, you'll be safe with us around, and I'll make sure you-
Malik: but that doesn't mean there is a chance that he could end up hurt.
Everyone glances over at Malik Who was sitting across from the two, while Altair was sitting right next to him both arms crossed and all.
Malik: ... or worse.
Jacob: *sitting next to Ezio* <whispers to Ezio> "well someone's being edgy."
Ezio: *nods with Jacob in agreement* don't be so negative Malik, he'll-
Malik: I'm not being negative, I'm simply being realistic here.
Ezio: realistically negative.
Malik: realistic none the less. Remember, you weren't to keen on having him come along in the first place either.
Malik was one of the people who agreed that this was a bad idea from the start for Leonardo to come along with them inside the main office headquarters of the templar company.
Ezio: Si and I'm just trying to help Leonardo feel less worried about-
Malik: The only reason you act this way now, is because it helps you forget and hide the possible ugly realities that might follow suit with this decision, Ezio.
Ezio: ...
Leonardo: ...
Always so ruthless honesty. Like a knight and his trusty sword of truth, slaying a dragon of lies, or defeating a wizard of illusion, even when it wasn't pretty. Leonardo will admit that it's admirable, but he himself prefers to be gently honest then brutal. Something both he and Malik had in common. They both didn't like lying, but in cases when they needed to. Leonardo isn't good at lying, even if it was to save his own life, but he will give himself the befit of the doubt that at least he could hide half the truth (when he tried to hide Ezio from guards). While Malik on the other hand, was criminally good at it, but he only ever lied when it was for assassin purposes.
Shaun: *driving the van* calm down you two save it for Abstergo.
Desmond: *sitting next to Altair* ya, come on Malik, what did we talk to you about being harshly honest. We don't need a very grim idea of how things could go wrong.
Malik: *just shrugs* just saying.
Ezio: ... *has a worried and sad expression on his face*
Leonardo: ... *gulps and slouchs a little in his seat*
Arno: *sitting next to Leonardo* ...
Malik: *arms crossed over his chest* ... you have something to say French Novice?
Arno: Er- Uhm! Uh... we'll... it's just... uh-
Malik: you know I will not apologize for saying what is true. Leonardo is a grown @$$ man, with high knowledge and understanding. He can handle a simple "reality check", as they call it.
Something else Leonardo has noted about Malik is that he would never apologize for what he knew was truth especially in this case... cause it was. No matter how hard he wanted to denie Malik's words, it was true, he could get hurt or worse on this mission. After all, this was the main headquarters of Abstergo Inc. after all, home to not only the head CEO of the company, but also where their great enemies of the past also reside in. Usually at lest three of the assassins make it home with near severe injuries. Leonardo should know, cause he had to help take carr of the three unluck assassins back to health when they got home... hoping they do- which they do thankful.
That's why they usually send nearly the whole house or at least six of them to such a mission to the enemy HQ.
Leonardo: ... *fidgety with his hands*
Altair: ... Malik only says this because it is best to mentally prepare yourself for what could happen.
Malik: *looks in Leonardo's direction and nods at him*
Leonardo: *just nods back in response* ...
Leonardo wouldn't say he and Malik were all to close, but occasionally they would work together on projects, have casual conversations every now, maybe talk a bit about this modern society, and sometimes talk about their- as Malik puts it- "Their best assassin Novice friends". Leonardo found that title quite funny, a secret nickname for the two to refer to their two best closest friends.
In truth, he likes to consider Malik as a good friend. Malik was enjoyable to talk to and they had a lot of things in common. Despite his... darkside, but none the less, Leonardo knew he only means well in the end.
Jacob: *sitting next to Ezio and Evie* ... Awkward~.
Evie: *elbows her brother*
Jacob: Ow!
Well Jacob was certainly right about the van ride begin awkward the whole drive there. When they were getting out and getting ready to infiltrate the Company building, Altair put Leonardo's movement on pause for a moment by putting a hand on his shoulder.
Altair: Hey.
Leonardo: Hm?
Altair: don't worry to much about what Malik said. Though the possibility is still present, it is rather low considering your circumstance. In fact you actually have a higher advantage on coming out of this place unharmed then any of us here.
Leonardo: oh? And why is that?
Altair: because-
Leonardo didn't know whether to believe it was just bad luck.
Altair: -you have an important part to play that will one day bring forth this generation's future.
Being at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Altair: After all, a few things might be missing here and there, if not even important things, if something was to happen to you,-
Or maybe a jinx of some kind, despite not being all that superstitious himself.
Altair: -so I'm pretty sure Abstergo wouldn't wanna take such a risk on your life.
But...
Leonardo: huh... *smiles* I suppose you have a point there!
That sound...
Altair: *small smile* Now don't use that as an excuse to be risky ok. Ezio still has a point to stay as close to us as possable and to never stray far from us ok.
Leonardo: *nods* I shall stick to you all like glue, You have my word!
That loud and dreadful sound...
Altair: good.
Leonardo: Grazie Altair!
Altair: of course. Also, another thing.
... I was so scared ...
Altair: *pats Leo on the shoulder* don't try to play hero.
Man this took WAAAAAAAAY to long to make, welp now it's here hope you all enjoyed this new episode of-
SO CUUUUUUUUUTE!!!
[Click to see the image better cause Tumblr be like that]
Ok... so it all started... when I was roming the internet thinking about assassin's creed and saw a drawing of Kirby in a little red beret like Leonardo's, while holding a paint brush... and that's when I decided to draw this adorable little drawing 🤩!
I'm super proud of it too! I've never been so dedicated to a drawing like this! Leonardo has a bit of paint from Kirby's brush on his face and lol Ezio and Meta Knight in the background 😆.
I wish I could have done a more colorful background but I wasn't sure what color to make it 😔 if you have any suggestions for background color, I'd love to here them!
Leonardo: Magnifico! How exciting! What a fascinating and adorable little creature!
Kirby: Poyo! Poyo!
Ezio: ...
Meta Knight: ...
Ezio: ... I would die for them.
Meta Knight: agreed.
Assassin's Creed Lost in Modern Ages AU
Ezio: *leaping from building to building* (in his head) (I'm not jealous.)
Ezio leaps from one medium-size building to the next.
Ezio: (I just want to spend some time with my great, great... well grandson.)
His pace starts to speed up a bit.
Ezio: (I'm not jealous. Ezio Auditore da Firenze? jealous? Never.)
And a bit more.
Ezio: (what do I have to be jealous of? I have admired the Mentor's work for years, why should I be jealous? He's great, he's smart, he reformed the ways the creed-)
He's almost at a sprint.
Ezio: (I mean I get why Desmond would want to be around him and everything, but surely he hasn't forgotten about me- the rest of us... right?)
Small child: *staring at Ezio* ...
Ezio is now in full speed as he's running across rooftops and is practically running a marathon at this point. People below have yet to notice, but it isn't until he reaches the ground that people start to stare as he waits by the gas station that Desmond is in.
Ezio: ... what?
Small child: ... are you a cosplayer?
Ezio: ... uh... sure, I am.
Small child: ... cool! *takes a picture of Ezio and walks away*
Ezio: ... (I probably should have changed before I came out here... what's a cosplayer?)
Soon Desmond walks out of the gas station caring a plastic bag full of snacks.
Desmond: ok that should be- E-EZIO!?
Ezio: Ciao Desmond!
Desmond: gramps two, what hell are you doing out here in public-! *whispers* "with your assassin robes on!"
Ezio: I might have forgotten to change out before coming out here...
Ezio: well I- ... (it has just accrued to me that... I did not think this all the way through) uh...
Desmond: *groans in frustration and starts to push Ezio towards a nearby alleyway*
Ezio: Easy! Easy! I only came out here to speak with you.
Desmond: *inhales and exhales heavily* ok! So explain to me what made you come out here that is so important that you forgot to change out of your assassin attire?
Desmond: ... you ok Gramps two-
Ezio: Uh! Si! Si! I just remembered it was because uh- I wanted to know iii- *looking frantically behind Desmond for ideas*
Lucky for Ezio his hood was up and the dark alley added an extra cover for his facial features, otherwise, he'd probably looked more suspicious to Desmond than he already seemed. As he looks frantically for something, anything that could help him. He then quickly noticed a billboard that was advertising for a live boxing match tomorrow night.
Ezio: -iiiiif you would like to see that! *points to the billboard behind Desmond*
Desmond: *turns around* uh... boxing match?
Ezio: Si! Yes! I forgot to ask you this morning so I uh- wanted to rush over to you! I wanted to know ahead of time before the tickets were sold out! ... that's why I forgot to change... no other reason at all... not out of jealou- what.
Desmond: what? ... were you about to say jealous-
Ezio: I said would you like to go see it... just the two of us... and no one else...
Desmond: 🤨 ... and that's it? That's what you rushed all this way for?
Ezio: ... si. (bene. As they would say, nailed it Ezio!)
Desmond: *thinking* hm... sure I'll bite, I'll come with you to go see it.
Ezio: Bene! I'll get the tickets and we can go tomorrow night together, it'll be fun!
Ezio: oh, uh- *chuckles* si of course Desmond, you have my word.
Desmond: ya alright. Just promise me that you'll change into your modern wear before we go, ok?
Desmond: cool, I'll see you back at home gramps two. *starts to walk out the alley* oh you might wanna take the more backdoor routes home. Don't want any Abstergo workers or people finding our location.
Ezio: ah! Yes, of course.
Desmond: alright, see you at home gramps two. *leaves to his motorcycle*
Ezio: ... I really hope no one saw me... I'm sure it'll be fine. *starts making his way through the dark alleyway*
Back at home.
Desmond: *walks in and closes the door* hey guys, I'm home!
Shaun: ah, welcome back... so...
Desmond: ... so what?
Rebecca: Did Ezio happen to run into you while you were getting snacks?
Desmond: ya, I'm assuming you all saw him running out the door in his assassin robes?
Leonardo: Si, we did.
Jacob: well we didn't see him do it, but he was gone and the front door was open... Yeah pretty much.
Connor: So, what did he say to you exactly?
Desmond: Oh, he just wanted to know if I'd like to see a boxing match tomorrow night.
Connor: oh really?
Desmond: ya, guess he wants it to be just the two of us.
Jacob: Tch! did he also tell you that he was- HOLD ON A SECOND! Do you mean tomorrow night's boxing match between frantoio the destroyer and King Rook!?
Desmond: I think so? Why?
Jacob: LUCKY BASTARD! I'm a HUGE fan of King Rook! They say he was taught how to fight, by joining every single street fight club from all around the world! His way of fighting is JUST like back in the street fight club me and Evie were in!
Shaun: Of course you are.
Rebecca: Well why don't you go?
Jacob: *sighs* UUUUUUGH! CAUSE EVIEEEE WON'T LET MEEEE!
Desmond: why doesn't she let you go?
Jacob: I don't know, something about the usual reasons, like the tickets are super expensive, something about being a menace to society and bla bla bla all that rubbish.
Connor: sounds completely reasonable.
Jacob: no it isn't!
Desmond: you can just watch it here-
Altair: *comes down the stair in his modern wear* Hey, you ready to go Desmond?
Altair is wearing a white zip-up jacket with the hoodie over his head, navy blue jeans, and a red belt with the silver buckle that had the assassin's creed logo on it, and black and white sneakers.
Desmond: Oh- Ya I'm ready to go! *holds up the plastic bag* I got the snacks for us to sneak into the movie theater.
Altair: *nods*
Desmond: *quickly moves the snacks to his backback and zips it up* we'll be back once the movie's over guys.
Shaun: alright, see you then.
Rebecca: have fun you two.
Both Desmond and Altair nod as they leave for the movies, a few moments after they left Ezio walks into the house.
Connor: So, a boxing match huh?
Ezio: what was I supposed to say!?
Shaun: how about nothing at all!? Or not doing what you just did in your assassin robes! Which you could have completely compromised our location! Like what if you were spotted in public by Abstergo?!
Ezio: I was in the clear, only a child spotted me.
Shaun: What the bloody hell Ezio! That still doesn't make it better!
Ezio: they only thought I was a "cosplayer" of some kind... whatever that is.
Rebecca: *snickers* Haha! A COSPLAYER!
Shaun: ok you, stop laughing this is serious!
Rebecca: *snorts* haha! S-sorry Shaun *wheezes*
Shaun: And you! *points to Ezio* you need to stop this before this goes where I think it's going!
Ezio: what's the harm in taking Desmond to see a fighting match?
Connor: A lot of things Ezio, a lot of things. Like- how are you gonna get tickets this soon? And from what Jacob told us, their very expletives tickets, Ezio.
Ezio: oh don't worry about that Connor *walks by Shaun* I have my ways.
Shaun: Ezio this is a ridiculous plan. You're acting like one of those high school girls with a weird obsession, jealousy problem.
Ezio: I'm not jealous!
Shaun: yes you- *feels his wallet is missing* Bloody hell, now I lost my wallet again. Just great! I'll be right back. But this conversation isn't over! *walks upstairs*
Rebecca: *sighs* I better go help him find it before he starts getting in a more sour mood. *follows Shaun*
Ezio: ... *heads to the living room computer and gets on it*
Connor: Ezio! Come on! ... Leonardo, you've been quiet this whole time... don't you think you should say something to Ezio.
Leonardo: well I-
Jacob: ya, after all, he is your best friend. He'll listen to you more than us.
Leonardo: ... *sighs and walks over to Ezio* Ezio... you need to calm yourself. You and I both know you can't afford those tickets on your own, and this will no doubt spiral into something worse than you think it will. I ask, pls, let this go. You have nothing to be jealous of Altair spending some time with Desmond. I'm speaking to you as your closest friend, fratello, please don't push this any further.
Ezio: Your right about one thing Leonardo. I may not be able to get those tickets myself- *pulls out Shaun's wallet and pulls out a credit card from it* but I'm sure Shaun won't mind if I used this.
Jacob: Oh- Ho Ho! Ezio you mad bastard! Haha!
Leonardo: Ey- Ezio!
Ezio: what!? It's not the first time I've stolen Shaun's credit card, or the only one.
Jacob: ah so true, I steal it on an almost regular basis.
Connor: Well I never have-
Jacob: lies! All of it! LIES!
Connor: ... tch- ok I've stolen it- once! And it was one time!
Leonard: what for?
Connor: I-... I needed the money to... t-to get Aveline something...
Jacob and Ezio: ... 😏 *lift their eyebrows up and down*
Connor: . . . What!?
Jacob: 😏 ... you like her-
Connor: T-THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS FRYE!
Ezio: heh, sure Connor~.
Leonardo: May we please get back on topic now? This is about Ezio's jealousy problem, not Connor's awkward love life.
Connor: CAN WE STOP BRING THAT UP!?!? But yes! He does have a point about Ezio!
Leonardo: Si. Now, Ezio you can't go through with this!
Ezio: I'm already on the website for the tickets, and I can tell you that this is happening.
Leonardo: What will happen after you and Desmond watch the fight!? What would you have gained from this? Desmond's attention for only a few hours? And what happens once it's all over? Nothing much would change. The only thing that would change is your drive to only gain more and more of Desmond's attention.
Ezio: I just want to spend some time with him Leonardo, this has nothing to do with jealousy.
Leonardo: Desmond is hurting right now! You will only hurt him more!
Ezio: I would never desire hurt and pain on him!!! I only desire to help him with whatever he needs. as his great-great-great- ...well grandfather.
Leonardo: ... Ezio... you need to let him deal with this how he wants to. Doing this out of spite on another or jealousy can only bring disastro.
Ezio: ... *orders the tickets* I only want to give him the best... spend some quality time together as famiglia... something that I only had for such a short time...
Leonardo: ... *sighs* very well Ezio, if that is your choice... I won't stop you.
Jacob: wait what?
Connor: what!?
Ezio: *forms a weak smile* Thank you for understanding my friend.
Ezio turns off the computer, before getting up and hugging Leonardo. Leonardo didn't resist as they hugged.
Ezio: grazie Leonardo.
Leonardo: of course my friend.
Once they part, Ezio puts the credit card back into Shaun's wallet and leaves it on the kitchen counter as if it were never stolen and heads upstairs to his room.
Connor: Leonardo why did-
Leonardo: The thing with Ezio is, sometimes you have to let him learn his lesson the hard way. Just like Jacob-
Jacob: hey!
Leonardo: it's painful and it pains me to do it, but sometimes it's the only way he'll learn. He'll crash and burn, and when he comes back after. Just give the man a cold stern talking to, for good measure, and if he's still willing to listen. Only then will you be able to help him truly.
Connor: ... *sighs* you know him better than any of us- well other than Desmond. I'll trust you on your word Leonardo.
Leonardo: Mhm, trust me. This is the only way he will understand his mistake.
Connor: just hope the crash won't be too bad for him.
Jacob: *on the computer holding Shaun's credit card* ya, hope so too.
Connor: ... really Jacob!?
Jacob: what!?
Leonardo: put Shaun's credit card down Jacob.
Jacob: ok let me see if I'm hearing you right- so it's ok for Ezio, to steal and use it, but not me!?
Leonardo: he needs to learn his lesson. As for you- *takes the credit card away from Jacob's hands and puts it back in the wallet*
Jacob: hey! Come on Leo!
Leonardo: you still have many things to learn.
Jacob: bah! Your no fun... so what do we do now then?
Leonardo: prepare ourselves to help Ezio get up when he crashes. Which all we can really do is wait.
Bounce scene:
At the movie theater.
Desmond and Altair were watching the movie in the movie theater together. They were halfway through it when Desmond's phone suddenly started to vibrate in his pocket. Luckily it was on silent, less they risk getting kicked out.
Desmond: hm? *pulls out his phone and checks who it is* . . . *clenches his right hand on the seat's armrest and starts taking in heavy breaths*
Desmond: *tries to take control of his breathing* I-I can't.
Altair: *glances his eyes at him* ...
Desmond: *seems to be having a small panic attack*
Altair: Breath Desmond. Remember to ease your breathing.
His right arm starts to dimly shine patterns a bit from under his black opera glove. His right eye slowly starts to glow and his heart rate increases at a fast pace. Desmond's body tenses the longer he stares at the contact caller on his phone as it vibrated in his hand. Panic slowly formed into rage, he want to answer it, he wanted to scream at the caller on the other end, curse him out right there and now. T̶̜̓o̷̲̣͋̏ ̴͉̓m̷̡͉͑̚à̸̖k̷̠̓̅͜ę̴̭̀̈́ ̸̩̖͆ḥ̴͍̈́͝i̸̼̝̾m̷̼̄ ̵̱̇h̸͔̓̐ũ̶͇͝ŗ̶̼́t̴̨͜͝ ̸̧̤̀̌l̵̳͝͝ȉ̸͕̘k̷̯̗̅̚é̸͈͓ ̶͙͍́h̸͓̟̉e̵̞͠ ̴̮͈̚d̶̻̏͠i̷͓͘d̵̯̅̈́ ̷̢͈̽ḩ̷͎̈́i̴̛̹m̵͇̭̃ . . .

Altair: *puts a firm but gentle hand on Desmond's shoulder* you don't have to deal with his bullsh*t Desmond.
D̵̠̐͋͜ē̷̲͓͠ś̷͕̲m̶o̷̙͑̓n̶̯̹̋̆d: *heavy breathing* . . . He-
Altair: You don't need to answer him if you know it's only going to make you angry and anxious.
D̵͓̿e̸̮̬̒̕s̶̨̽̆m̵̧̭̆̓ond: . . . *squeezes the phone in his hand*
Altair: Listen, He chose to miss out on a good opportunity to spend time with you. You have every right to be angry with him and every equal right not to answer him at all. Let his call go to voice mail and let's just enjoy the rest of our movie, ok?
Desmond: ... *his eye stops glowing* ... ya... your right. *put his phone back in his pocket*
Altair: *nods and faces back at the screen but keeps his hand on Desmond's shoulder* ... I will always be with you.
Desmond begins to try and reset his breathing as he begins to count in his head...
one. He takes a deep breath in and out, his heart rate increases, and his grip on the armrest tightens as he hears and feels the vibration of his phone, the sound ringing loudly to his ears only as an echo.
Two. He breaths in and out again, he feels his eye start to glow again as the movie became a blur to his vision as his phone vibrated again.
Three. Desmond suddenly feels like he's on the edge of loosening it when he suddenly feels Altair rubbing his back gently. Desmond glances over at him. Altair's own eyes dimly glowed from the darkness of his hood, as he focused them towards the large screen up front as he began to hum something in Arabic quietly to Desmond.
Desmond felt... safe, calm, and loved, like nothing in the world could ever hurt him. He suddenly readied himself as he suddenly feels his phone vibrate again. Let's do this.
One. He breathes, ignoring everything going on around him, remembering Altair's words. "you don't have to deal with his bullsh*t Desmond.", His phone vibrates. His eye stops glowing.
Two. "You have every right to be angry with him and every equal right to not to answer him at all.", His phone vibrates again. His arm stops glowing through his black opera glove and his grip on the armrest loosens.
Three. "I will always be with you." His phone vibrates for the last time, as his body finally relaxes completely. his vision and mind cleared. The two continue to watch the movie in peace, without any issues for the rest of the evening.
Desmond: ... *smiles* thanks gramps.
Altair: ... *forms a small smile* dayiman alhafidu.
Assassin's creed Lost in modern ages
It was the next day, Desmond and Altair were sitting on the couch next to each other. Altair was reading a novel while Desmond was reading a superhero-based comic. Rebecca and Shaun were sitting at the dining room table watching them a far while Connor, Jacob, Ezio, and Leonardo were talking with one another close by, all while Ezio continues staring at Altair and Desmond.
Rebecca: Aw, Shaun look at those two, it's like watching two twin brothers bonding with each other.
Shaun: you say brothers, I say experimental clones gone wrong.
Rebecca: oh stop it, Shaun they're just reading.
Shaun: exactly, so if you're making a big deal out of this then so will I. I mean just look at them.
A shot of Altair and Desmond just... reading their things.
Shaun: their facial expressions right now look almost bloody identical... some of their expressions.
Rebecca: I still think it's cute, it's not often we get to see Altair actually "bond" with any of the others.
Shaun: ya we'll I still say a cloning experiment gone wrong.
Leonardo: -so then turns out you can't use metal thin cables as a substitute for rubber covered wires, though luckily the man didn't hurt himself too badly, I was almost given a fright when he got shocked, he seemed ok afterward, but I think I learned something new after- ... Ezio?
Ezio: *staring at Altair and Desmond* . . .
Leonardo: Ezio?
Ezio: . . .
Leonardo: ...? *taps on Ezio's shoulder* Ezio are you even listening to me?
Ezio: *snaps out of it* hm? Oh, sorry Leonardo, you were saying about the wires?
Leonardo: Ezio you have been acting very strange since yesterday, is something wrong?
Ezio: I'm fine Leonardo, just have a lot on my mind right now.
Connor: are you sure? Cause you were staring at Altair and Desmond for an odd and uncomfortably long time yesterday and you're continuing to do so today. You might as well just tell us what's going on cause this is getting ridiculous.
Jacob: Heh! maybe he's jealous that those two hang out a lot.
Ezio: I am not!!!
Jacob: ... I was just joking, calm down.
Connor: ... Ezio, your getting kind of defensive about this.
Ezio: I'm not getting defensive, I'm simply pointing out the fact that I'm not jealous of Altair spending more time with Desmond than Desmond does with me.
Connor: ...
Leonardo: ...
Jacob: ... *snickers* oh my god you are jealous of Altair aren't you!
Ezio: what!? Me!? Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Jealous!? Nonsense!
Leonardo: well what you just said was oddly specific for someone who claims they're not jealous of someone else.
Connor: and you're not doing that good of a job hiding that fact.
Ezio: ... so... what if I am.
Leonardo: Ezio there is no need to be jealous, you're a family as a whole. There is no need to feel this way.
Jacob: Ya, I mean so what if they look the same, act the same, share the same favorite activities, and-
Connor: *puts a hand over Jacob's mouth* exactly, Leonardo. Besides Desmond cares for each and every one of us equally. Trust me, you're only setting yourself up for something that's going to end badly for you and Desmond.
Jacob: ... *licks Connors hand*
Connor: *flinches away in disgust* Ew gross Jacob!
Jacob: >=P
Ezio: *sighs* maybe you guys are right... maybe I'm just letting this get to me.
Leonardo: bene, glad we put a stop to this, before things got any worse.
Suddenly Desmond's phone starts to go off, as he puts his comic book down and pulls out his smartphone. He has a small surprised look on his face when he saw the contact on his phone.
Connor: ...
Leonardo: ...
Jacob: ...
Desmond: ... hey I'll be right back, I gotta take this. *gets up*
Altair: *nods at him*
Desmond: *heads outside to the front*
Connor: ... *sighs with nervous laughter* for a second I thought something bad was gonna happen to set this whole thing into chaos...
Leonardo: *nervous laughter* Si.
Jacob: ya that was a close one... so who do you think called Desmond?
Ezio: *shrugs*
Ezio, Connor, and Jacob walked over to one of the front windows and peeked through the curtains as they watched Desmond answer the phone and put it up to his ear as he seems like he's saying hello, and then letting who was on the other line speak. Desmond then speaks, unsure of what he is saying from the window. A few seconds into the conversation he seemed confused at first, then changed to an excited and happy expression. It didn't last long however as his facial expression began to slowly morph from joy to disappointed, pacing back and forth, as he starts talking again.
Jacob: ... who do you think he's talking to?
Connor: I don't know...
Ezio: whoever they are... whatever they're telling Desmond is making him a bit... upset.
Leonardo: are they? By how much?
Desmond seems to look stressed as the Isu lines on his right charcoal black arm and eyes begin to glow a bright gold as he shouted an audible-
Desmond: WHY!? Why can't you ever just-! *takes in a deep breath in and out*
Desmond calms himself down till his arm stopped glowing, his right eye however still held a dim glow, as he continues the call, his voice goes back to quiet.
Connor: ... really upset...
Leonardo: oh my...
Ezio: ...
Jacob: ... wow...
As Desmond slows down his pacing he finally comes to a stop and he hangs up the phone. The three quickly sprung away from the window back where they were standing and glanced away when the door opened to let a very upset Desmond inside.
Rebecca: ... you ok Desmond?
Desmond: . . .
Shaun: um... earth to Desmond?
Altair: *glances over Desmond, with his golden eye visibly showing from his hood*
Desmond: ... *takes in a deep breath then exhales* ya... *his eye stops glowing completely* I'm fine. . . hey uh... Altair?
Altair: *turns over fully to Desmond* yes?
Desmond: uh... do you want to go see a movie later? Cause I got an extra ticket to go see one and uh... he-
Altair: he bailed on you last minute... again?
Desmond: ... *nods yes*
Altair: *sighs* Alright, I'll get my things ready, just tell me when we're able to go and I'll be ready.
Desmond: cool, movie starts at one. Sorry if it's a bit of a short notice.
Ezio: . . .
Altair: *marks his book and closes it* It's fine Desmond. We'll meet back in the living in an hour and a half. Will you ok driving?
Desmond: I think I'll be ok.
Altair: *nods then heads up stairs*
Shaun: ... wwwhat was that all about?
Desmond: nothing important. *goes into the kitchen to get his keys for his motorcycle*
Rebecca: you sure? That yelling outside didn't sound like "nothing important". Sounded super important, at least to you anyway.
Desmond: It's all sorted out now becs. *grabs his keys* don't worry about it. *starts walking towards the door* Anyways, I'm heading to the gas station to get movie snacks, cause the prices for theater snacks are, sh*****t. Later *heads out the door*
Connor: ... that was... something?
Leonardo: well Desmond hasn't been feeling all that well as of late.
Jacob: you've talked to him lately?
Leonardo: mhm, I have, I always ask everyone how they are doing.
Connor: so what's been with him?
Leonardo: things haven't been going so well for him for these past three months for him. He keeps saying he'll be fine soon enough... but I don't think much has changed, if not slightly worsen.
Jacob: how come?
Leonardo: I'm not sure. He refuses to tell me the key reasoning behind it. All I know is that he's been feeling down for the past months, for his personal life, and that's all he told me.
Connor: *sighs* Desmond probably has a lot on his plate, that phone call was probably something important.
Jacob: Maybe he just needs a bit of cheering up! Right Ezio- ...
Ezio: O_O . . .
Jacob: oh bloody hell.
Leonardo: Ezio... we just went over this.
Ezio: . . .
Connor: Ezio, what's-
Ezio: HE INVITED HIM TO A MOVIE! RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!! AND OUT OF EVERYONE HERE, HE PICKED ALTAIR TO SEE IT!?!? WHY!?!?
Connor: Ezio calm down!
Leonardo: easy amigo!
Jacob: it's not that big of a deal!
Ezio: Not that big of a deal!?!? It's a huge deal! A massive one at that!
Shaun: what are you all yelling about!?!?
Connor: Ezio's jealous of Altair because Desmond's been hanging out with him more often than him.
Jacob: ya Ezio's jelly, cause Desmond is around Altair more.
Leonardo: and- ...
Jacob: ... what?
Leonardo: jelly?
Jacob: ya that's what I said he's jelly, that Altair is spending more time with Desmond. Ezio's jelly. Jelly~.
Leonardo: ... never in my life have I ever heard anyone, use jelly, as an alternative word for jealous.
Jacob: I know right! I just heard it a while back, and I found it really hilarious, so I started using it myself and-
Rebecca: uh, guys.
Leonardo: hm?
Jacob: what?
Rebecca: Ezio's gone...
They all look to where Ezio once stood... he was gone.
Connor: ... *looks at the front door* and the front door is open...
Shaun: oh, bloody hell.
Rebecca: ... I think he was still wearing his assassin robes too...
Jacob: ...
Leonardo: ...
Shaun: ...
Connor: 😑 ... sh*t.

Leonardo: absolutely not Jacob.
