Astral Assembly

Raphael follows Leonardo's lead back to their bodies - and hugging the smaller counterpart close, knowing it had to suck to be drawn away from his brothers and back to the distant somewhere with them -


Still they were all sort of brothers so he does give the smaller pudgier funny Raph a snug and waits for Leonardo to help guide them all the way back.

Raphie did not want to go, he did wish to hang and just be with his brothers longer, however, he does know Donatello needed to rest and recover and that all of the other brothers aside from Lee were less trained and could not maintain this much longer.


So he accepts the last warmth, touches, and affections from his dragon and one ball of energy brothers before they moved on. Making sure to have BigM, Lee and Randal bundled close and guide them back across the distance and space.

The kitsune Mikey is so amazed he wooooows a little, " that is soooo cool I mean I vaguely recall that time an ancient wizard ghost gave, Leo, Raph, and I powers of lightning, thunder and wind and really cool hats, though the whole being mind-controlled by him was not cool. Hah pizza distracted us though - fighting over pizza." he laughs and accepts Leo's words as is smiling much happier to know. And he had a vague idea of what those felt like...

It is a bittersweet sort of sad to watch and feel as the others depart. But Leonardo knows they have to - they all know they have to eventually find each other in the physical world.


He does immediately miss the gone ones, but is relieved for most the part they are all reasonable sound of mind and body, even Don now with a little help. Not tip top shape all of them by a long shot but reasonably able and well. Though probably would be tired after all of this.

Leo hadn't been thrilled with how Don had returned to his body, but the connection was made, and his brother would feel better in time. Before he left the area entirely, he nuzzled Don once more, filling his brother with as much energy as he dared. Don seemed to sigh slightly in relief. Leo will take that. He doesn't actually give them energy like he had Don, but he does give them a sort of sense of connection that will hopefully soothe some of the shock of the intense one they just severed.

Secure in the knowledge that this whole group has fully returned to their bodies, and all connections were made properly, he moves on. Next up... Check on Lee. He's less worried about Mike's group because at least all of his companions had been whole at the time they had left. Lee had been only a ball of energy, like Don.

But Raphie and Lee both know what they're doing, and the weakened ball of energy made it back on it's own. Leo smiled and gave a gentle astral nuzzle to this group as well.

Like with Don, he feeds Lee a little spiritual energy. and... maybe something a little calming for Raph's physical body...

Then Leo is on his way again, checking on Mike, and nuzzling those there with that same light, soft connecting nuzzle.

Then back, following the path of his traveling companions out of the astral space they had been in. He can feel the sharp tug of his own body. After all this, and doing what he could to help Don and Lee as much as possible, Leo is pretty well spent too. He remains in his astral form a moment longer though, nuzzling and connecting each of his traveling companions as he had the others. It's a fine thread, especially compared to what they had felt moments ago, but... it's better than nothing.
