You were stopping crime, I think that counts you as law abiding by intent.

I did like what you were up to though. So glad you kept the suit.

[heyunderoos]

If we go by the accords, no, extremely illegal. I was a horrible criminal all along. [Another kiss for Leo's shoulder, and then at the edge of his plastron.]

You just like gazing at my ass when I put the suit on. [Its a fond tease if anything.]

[neonleon]

Heh. The worst.

[Leo gives Peter's waist a gentle squeeze, wary of the wound still.]

Yeah? So what if I do? It's a good view.

[heyunderoos]

Can you believe, you married a hardened criminal? [And another kiss to Leo's shoulder, because Peter just wants his husband to get as much affection as he deserves.

The squeeze just makes him smile.]

Pretty sure only you think that, but thank you. Thank you for gazing.

[neonleon]

Oh, I can promise you, I am not the only one. Guarantee by this time tomorrow, this room is gonna be full of get well cards and gifts for you from all your secret admirers.

[heyunderoos]

[That knocks another laugh out of Peter. A hard enough one he winces, burying his face against Leo's shoulder with a pained exhale.

He pushes through it, just trying to not ruin the moment. Thinking about his husband at least makes him happy. Enough to wax a little poetically on him.] Still pretty sure you're the one with admirers, they can't keep their eyes off of you.

Handsome face, beautiful dark eyes, strong hands, perfect voice- [He leans into Leo a little more.]

[neonleon]

[Peter leaning more into him, Leo smiles and gently nudges the tray out of the way so he can wrap both arms around him.]

Sorry to say, babe, but I'm an acquired taste. Very few around here go for turtle. You and that one lizard youkai that's like eight hundred years old.

[heyunderoos]

Psh. I know people are attracted to you. Its not an acquired taste. [Peter would prefer to just sit completely in Leo's lap and squish into him, but that's for later. Being held like this at least helps him feel better.]

If they aren't, they have serious problems. Ones I can't really help them with. [He kisses the underside of his husband's jaw.]

[neonleon]

Oh, agreed. They're missing out.

But with it just being you and old Lizard Gram, I think you have some serious competition.

[heyunderoos]

Not the first senior citizen I've taken in a fight. Probably not the last. [He phrases it just as strangely to make his husband laugh.]

[neonleon]

[And he gets it, honest and rumbling a bit in his chest.]

We'll set up an official fighting ring and everything. Sell tickets.

[heyunderoos]

Set the prices just right, and we'll get everything worth bartering for just because of one fight. [The laugh just makes Peter trill quietly back, just enjoying the feeling of his husband's laugh as much as he does the sound of it.]

[neonleon]

A lot of problems solved.

Buuuut to get you in fighting form, first we gotta make sure you rest and heal up. How're you feeling?

[heyunderoos]

[Peter sighs a little at the shift, not surprised by it. He exhales a little, resting a tentative hand over the injury, not putting any actual weight on it.] Tired. I should probably sleep a bit more to help the healing. I finished the soup, and it'll do a lot of the work.

[neonleon]

Good. All right.

[He kisses Peter's temple.] Rest. I've got a couple things I've gotta look at, but I'll be back by the time you wake up. All right?

[heyunderoos]

[Peter bites back another sigh, but nods slightly. Pressing a brief kiss against Leo's jaw as he moves to get himself settled back properly onto the cot that makes up the med bay bed. He has to leave his husband's hold, and he doesn't like it.]

Okay, just... remember to take a breather where you can. [Its a fairly gentle reminder as Peter starts to lay back down.]

[neonleon]

[Leo leaves him an arm for leverage if he wants, not wanting to take his hands off him. He, at least, grips Peter's shoulder gently.]

I will. Soon as I come back in an hour or so.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter nods a little at that, smiling at the contact. All he wants right now is to hold onto Leo. He's trying to be patient.

They still have a big conversation to have later, he has to recover and jump back into arranging things.

For now he just lays a hand against Leo's hand on his shoulder. He smiles at his husband as he settles in.] Hopefully, I'll actually get a little sleep in, if not, I'll regale with exciting tales of just laying here staring at the ceiling.

[neonleon]

Hey, I'm not used to seeing this ceiling so I would love to hear those tales.

[He looks down at Peter just.. Watching him. He's not looking forward to the conversation they'll continue, but for now? He leans down to kiss him briefly, lingering a bit.]

I'll be back.

[heyunderoos]

[Peter readily returns the kiss, just reaching up to gently coax his fingers against his husband's cheek. If Peter could, he'd keep Leo all to himself for just a while longer.]

I'll hold you to that, handsome. [He presses another peck against Leo's lips before he can entirely get away.] I'll be waiting.

[neonleon]

[Leo presses his forehead to Peter's for a moment, breathing him in.]

My own sleeping beauty, huh? I'll kiss you awake when I get back.

[One last kiss for the road, he thinks, before he's on his way. Leo takes a confusing, disorienting route that Donnie gave him a map for to the new room, checking the specifications he requested, and whatever his brother needs to go over with him. Getting a few other details that Donnie had found out from looking at the first bit of footage.

Leo's tired. He's so tired but a new kind of energy is giving his steps the weight to carry him down to the brig. He looks at the guards once with a nod before stepping in. It only takes a second to flick at a control on his arm shutting the audio recorder off as the guards step away.

The whole idea of a brig isn't one everyone agreed with, but sometimes necessary. They hadn't really had a need to use much except to break up a couple fights over the years. This, though, was being taken with the most seriousness the base has seen outside of Krang attacks. But they'd tried to at least make it nice. Smooth the underground stone, run electricity in. Make the cells hospitable as much as they could any other room in the base. They're all fighting the same enemy, so it never sat right with anyone to make the brig miserable.]

Morning! Now that we're all awake, figured we had some time to talk. [His voice is boisterous and bright, but there's an edge undercutting it.]

[heyunderoos]

[Fitzberg doesn't deem it worth his attention to stand at Leo's arrival, just mildly looking up from his hands as the turtle's voice rings out.

His shoulders are tight with obvious tension, but his expression is unimpressed. He expected some kind of visit sooner, so the waiting has been dull.]

Finally 'gracing' me with your presence?

[neonleon]

[Leo stops just at the bars and gives a lol whistle.]

Admire the directness. Not my style, really, I like the warm up chat, y'know?

[He wants to hope this is all a misunderstanding, hope that maybe this can be smoothed over easily and they don't have to do anything more than put this guy out on patrol more often or something. That good humor with Peter before he left wasn't solely for Peter's sake.]

You really got some attention for someone who's only been here a couple weeks! Everyone's gonna be talking about this for a while.

[heyunderoos]

[Carl Fitzberg sits up a little further, frowning at Leo.]

Its a good thing people will be talking about this. They need to know about the inequality in this place. Someone has to make real change happen here.

[neonleon]

[Leo comes to crouch in front of the bars, still watching him. He keeps his posture casual, elbows resting on his knees as he looks up at him.]

Hey, that's important. Like that your head's in the right space wanting equality. What's on your mind, let's hear it.
