Leo was pleasantly surprised to see the lights on at Lisa’s. Usually, she would “forget” to turn them on until he got there and did it himself. She looked a little nervous when she opened the door and he didn’t know why.

“Hey!” he said, stepping quickly in. “It looks really cozy in here.” He smiled as he pulled his coat and hat off and hung them on the hooks in the entryway.

“Yeah,” she smiled, shyly. “I’m trying.” She shrugged and looked at her feet for a moment.

Leonardo looked down at her lowered head, wishing that he could take her pain away. He’d always been big and strong. Always the oldest and always the leader. He’d never felt as violated and as vulnerable as she must. Still, since he’d been the only witness to her suffering, he felt like he had a better understanding of how she might feel than anyone else did.

“I know you are,” he said, gently. Lisa smiled up at him, her eyes glistening. She turned and led him into the living room. Leonardo couldn’t stop his eyes from drifting town to her hips. He wanted to feel those curves again.

“I rented a movie,” she said. “I don’t know if you want to watch it or not.” There’s popcorn, too.”

Leo was glad her back was to him so she couldn’t see the shocked look on his face. This was new. “That sounds great!” he said, quickly. “What did you get? ‘Enchanted?’” He chuckled a little, enjoying that he could tease her a little.

Lisa rolled her eyes - she wasn’t that girly! “I didn’t know you liked that kind of thing, Leo,” she teased back. “Actually, I got “Death Race,” cause I thought you might like it. Have you seen it?”

Leo smiled as she chatted away. Why was it so much easier to talk to her at night? Leo unfastened his utility belt and set it on her coffee table next to a lace doily. He tucked his long, dangerous swords under the end of the couch, so they’d be out of the way, but still within reach.

“Want me to make the popcorn?” he asked.

“Sure,” Lisa said. “I’ll fire up the dvd player.”

Leo went into the pretty little kitchen and opened the cupboard next to the fridge where she seemed to keep her dry goods. He’d been here so much lately, that he was starting to learn where her stuff was. He found the popcorn and chucked it into the microwave before pressing a couple of buttons with his big finger. He liked Lisa’s house; it was clean and cheerful. Leo liked things to be neat and tidy; Mike’s bedroom drove him insane but there was nothing he could do about that bomb test site. He hated to admit it, but he even liked all the girly stuff that Lisa had decorated the place with. The lair wasn’t fancy; dudes didn’t use doilies, but some part of him appreciated the effort Lisa had put into decorating and making what was really a cheap, tiny house into a cozy home.

He sighed and shook his head tiredly. Don had given them an awkward talk during supper about how they needed to be more understanding about girly things if they ever wanted to get anywhere with a woman.

“I don’t want to sound like Professor Know-It-All or anything guys,” Don had started as they‘d tucked into their pizza.

“Oh hell, what is it now?” Raphael sighed. “Are we eatin’ too many trans fats again?”

“No, bro,” Mike said, “We’re not washing our hands well enough after we’ve been to the bathroom.”

“Really?” Raph grinned, “I thought he was gonna tell us about how we don’t read enough.”

“I read,” Mike said, as he stuffed half a slice into his mouth. “I read in the bathroom.”

“And do ya wash yer hands?” Raph snickered, batting his eyes at Mike.

“Do you?” Mike countered.

“Actually, jerks,” Don cut in, “I wanted to talk to you about girls.” Three green heads snapped to attention and the eating stopped.

“Boobs, legs, or butts?” Mike asked.

“Quiet, Mike!” Leo shushed, at his youngest brother. He wanted to hear anything Don had to say about girls.

“Well, it is kinda about a body part,” Don said, gritting his teeth. He knew what their reactions were going to be, but this had to be done.

“Pussy?” Raph snickered. Leo swatted him in the back of the head. “What?” Raphael snapped. “Don’t act like you don’t think about it.”

“Actually,” Don said, rubbing the back of his neck, self-consciously. “Raphael’s kinda right.” He cringed as his brothers’ mouths fell open. They weren’t going to like this. “I just thought that maybe we should talk about the menstrual cycle.”

“Eww!” Mick groaned, pushing his pizza away. “Goodbye, appetite!”

“I’m serious!” Don said. “You guys can’t get grossed out about it like you do - Charlie says that girls really hate that and that only total jerks make a big deal out of it.”

The conversation had gone downhill fast.

The microwave pinged at Leonardo and he pulled the hot bag out and dumped the popcorn into a bowl before heading back to the living room. He stopped short when he saw Lisa bent over with her curvy, round backside to him. She didn’t seem to know he was there as she hummed to herself and blew the dust from the dvd tray. Leo twitched inside his shell and felt himself blushing in shame. This was the first time he’d seen her look happy and here he was, checking out her butt. She set the disc back in and pressed a button. The dvd started to play and she stood up, looking satisfyed.

“Oh!” she jumped when she turned around and saw the ninja standing behind her. She smiled and sat down on one end of the couch. “I don’t use that thing much,” she explained. “It was full of dust and wouldn’t play.”

Leonardo grimaced and settled down on the opposite end of the couch. “We use ours so much that Don has had to replace parts in it,” he said. He passed her the bowl of popcorn and leaned back into the small couch.

“You can put your feet on the coffee table,” Lisa smiled. “You don’t look very comfortable.”

She was right. Leonardo’s big legs stuck out a mile. He smiled and set his two-toed feet up on the table. Lisa looked at them as the movie started; they were so different from her own. She remembered how it had felt when Leonardo had washed her hands for her; she hadn’t really noticed at the time that she had two fingers more than him because he was being so kind to her... maybe that was how Charlie saw Donatello... maybe Charlie was so used to Don that she didn’t notice the differences anymore. Maybe their love made them forget the differences.

“We think your feet are weird, too,” Leonardo’s voice cut into her thoughts. Lisa looked quickly up to his face, embarrassed that she’d been caught staring. He didn’t look mad, though... his eyes danced with laughter.

“I wonder what Bubba’s toes looked like,” she found herself saying.

“He was wearing steel-toed army boots,” Leo said, “so his feet were probably normal enough.” Bubba had been wearing pants and a shirt, too. Sometimes Leo wished that he could wear clothes, but the thought of wearing jeans seemed silly to him when he was never cold and his uh... dude things weren’t visible.

They sat in silence for a while, watching the movie. There wasn’t much of a plot to it, but the cars were cool.

“I feel bad for the other women he raped,” Lisa said quietly. “Well, I guess I should say that I feel bad for their families.” Any woman that Bubba had raped was dead. “And the families of Frank’s victims, too. They still think he’s out there, hurting people. They don’t know that you...” she trailed off and looked at Leonardo’s big arms.

“I killed him,” Leonardo said firmly. “You saw me do it. Bubba is dead and he can’t hurt you or anyone else again. Same goes for Frank. You saw his body after Mike and I dealt with him.” He looked over at Lisa with gentle eyes. “But I understand what you mean. It’s too bad that the families will never know.”

They watched the movie for another few minutes.

“But you know what?” Leo said. “You know that they’re gone. Maybe the families will live with the fear and the nightmares forever, but you don’t have to. You lived. You know that they can’t hurt you again.”

Lisa nodded. Leo was right. “I’m scared to be alone,” she said, so quietly that he almost missed it.

“Well you don’t have to be scared now,” Leo said, reaching across the couch for some popcorn. “I’m here and you’re not alone.”

“But you have to be away from your family to babysit me,” Lisa said. “It makes me feel bad. And I hate that you have to sleep on this tiny couch.” She looked up at him. He was watching the movie again. He looked back to her and turned so he was facing her.

“I don’t mind,” he said, earnestly. “I like spending time with you... even if you have five toes.”

Lisa burst out laughing and Leo found himself grinning. Maybe he had a little Mike in him after all.
