Between You and Me and Him

A silly little 6-question interview with my three F!Leos in an interrogation setting. I made these peepaws sit on a metal chair and suffer through the back pain. This interview was taken after shoving the F!Leos in a room for an hour of talking. No I will not elaborate on how they are in the same room in the first place hehe. This is gonna be a big ol’ block of text oof. (I hope I organized this well enough to be read-able. Coherrent? Not eye-straining? Much see, much read? Idk if not I’ll just post it on ao3)

First Question: What were your first impressions of the others?

Reunion:

Reunion flips the ends of his bandana and says, “Deadbeats.” He smiles then waves his hand to add, “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. DMD has this look in his eyes, it’s almost like he’s filled with this strange sense of determination. Almost like he’s ready for something.” He raises a finger to silence whatever incoming response that may come, to add, “But he also looks exhausted. Like that determination is hidden behind a much-needed, twenty-year-long nap.” He crosses a leg and leans back in his chair, “Now, LCD? The man’s got a crazy look in his eyes. He looks like he lost more sleep than DMD. Hell, I’d bet if you gave him a paper towel, he would use it as a blanket and fall asleep on the floor where he stands.” The slider is silent for a few seconds before adding, “He also looks… broken…? I guess that’s another way a twenty-year-long war can do to a guy. Not everyone is invulnerable, I guess.”

DMD:

DMD shifts in his chair before properly sitting with his hands on his lap. “Reunion…? He looked… bright. I’m sure we all shared the same shocked expression at the time, but he looked so clean and healthy. He looked full.” DMD raises a brow and then says, “Oh, LCD, right.” DMD seems to think for a second before finally answering, “He looks punchable.” After a moment of silence, he adds, “I don’t know what it is, whether the deranged look on the bastard’s face or the fact he looks worse off than me, but something about him doesn’t sit right with me.”

LCD:

LCD refuses to sit down and stands behind the chair. He cautiously eyes his surroundings before answering, “Reunion looks too much like the young Leon from my universe. He kind of pisses me off in that sense. DMD looks so small compared to his actual size. It’s like he’s trying to make himself small, I don’t get it.”

Second Question: What do you think of the others now that you’ve talked to them briefly?

Reunion:

He stays silent, thinking for a moment before answering, “DMD… he’s got a good head on his shoulders. We talked alone for a few seconds, but there was only so much I can relate to the guy. After all… I was able to get my brothers back. I know it’s shitty of me to think this, but…” He hesitates for another second before finishing, “I’m glad that I’m not him.” He stays silent for a few seconds, thinking over what he had said before adding, “I want to punch LCD. It’s like, the more I talk to the guy, the more punchable his face gets.” A strange expression washes over his face as if he carefully thinks his response over. “But I get where he’s coming from… kind of.”

DMD:

He looks away as if processing his thoughts, and says, “I’d trust Reunion with my kids. I’d trust him more than myself. I’d rather the kids stay with him than me. They deserve an adult like him, instead of me.” His eyes narrow and his face distorts to that of one of disgust. A low grumble emanates from his chest as he sits back in his seat. “LCD can eat shit for all I care. I don’t know what he has done, but something tells me he has done shit I would never do. When I find out, he’s going to regret ever coming back to the present.”

LCD:

He paces for a few seconds before he stops. He stares at a wall and then mumbles, “I wish I were them.” He doesn’t say anything else and remains silent.

Third Question: Would you trust the others with your Present Brothers?

Reunion:

The slider nods for a few seconds then releases a quick chuckle. A bright smile stretches on his face before he says, “Fuck no.” His smile dies slightly and he adds, “But if I had to choose… I think I’d trust DMD. He looks like someone that would protect the kids, but at what cost is what I’m concerned about. I wouldn’t bet money on that, but it’s just a feeling.”

DMD:

Without hesitation, the slider answers, “No.” he stands and takes a menacing step forward before adding with a low voice, “If you take my kids, you’d better hope you run far enough where I can’t catch you.” He stops and takes a step back, “Yeah, I’d trust Reunion with my kids, but that would mean I’m dead and gone before they’re with him. I made a promise to those kids, and I won’t be breaking that promise anytime soon.”

LCD:

He turns away from the chair and says, “The kids’d be better off with either of them. Send the kids their way, I won’t fight. They deserve someone better.”

Fourth Question: Not knowing their stories, whose situation would you rather be in, seeing how they came out?

Reunion:

He leans back in his chair and releases a huff of amusement. He raises a brow and crosses his arms in front of his plastron, the slightest creak of his robotic arm scratching slightly against his shell resounds as he says, “Mine. Are you kidding? I got the better end of the stick—just look at me. As much as I hate to admit, they’re strong for being able to keep going despite whatever they went through. For a brief moment, I was them before twenty years were long and forgotten and erased—or reset. I don’t know how different their situation is, but I wouldn’t trade mine for the world.”

DMD:

He leans forward, contemplating his answer before saying, “Seeing Reunion you can tell he has a better story. One that I’m jealous of, but… as much as I would love to be in his situation… I don’t think I deserve it. And, I think the kids would hate me if I chose not to live in my situation. I don’t regret meeting them, but I do regret what I had to leave behind.”

LCD:

He is now staring at the chair, his eyes filled with melancholy and regret. He bites down on nothing for a brief second and swallows, “Either one. Any situation is better. I don’t care whose, just one of them.”

Fifth Question: Would you survive sitting in a room with the Leos, including the younger versions?

Reunion:

Reunion leans back as he crosses his arms over his plastron, cocking his head side-to-side as he weighs his options. “I barely managed to survive a room with the older Leos but throw in the kids?” His whole body cringed and he adds, “Might as well throw me in Big Mama’s Battle Nexus. Fighting ten of her champions would be easier than that.”

DMD:

DMD shakes his head and says, “Leon is a handful as is—add in two of me and two of him? Throw me back to the Krang while you’re at it.”

LCD:

He says nothing but shakes his head.

Sixth Question: If you had to watch over one of the other F!Leo’s younger counterparts, who would you rather watch over?

Reunion:

Reunion leans his head back over his carapace, looking up at the ceiling as he nods slightly to himself. He cocks his head side-to-side again, weighing his options once more. He releases a long breath before finally sitting up straight and uncrossing his arms. He placed his hands on his knees, and answers, “I’ll have to talk to them to see what the Little Leos are like. Seeing how the other old bags like me turned out, the kids might be just as different as we are.” He stays silent for a few seconds, his eyes narrowing before adding with a small smile, “I think I’d like to have a word with LCD’s Little Blue.”

DMD:

DMD breathes in slowly and finally sits back down in his seat. The chair creaks under his weight as it scrapes slightly against the floor. “Another Leon…,” he begins then leans back into his chair. He adds carefully, eyes narrowing in concentration, “I like the kid, I think I’ll keep watching over him. But—,” the slider suddenly cuts himself off. “I am curious how the others are, especially Reunion’s,” the slider finishes before swallowing nothing. “How much happier is Reunion’s Leon?”

LCD:

LCD placed his hands on the top rail of the chair before leaning his weight on it and looking down. “What will it take for them to take Little Leo instead of me watching one of them?”

End.

This became a little angsty (I blame LCD F!Leo) but it was fun! If you have any questions for the F!Leos don’t be hesitant to ask! Honestly, it was harder to come up with questions than it was to come up with their answers haha! Hopefully this isn’t too much of a spoiler on LCD F!Leo’s character since his story is still a work in progress! If I come up with more questions, I’ll just add it to the Between You and Me and Him tag.
