“There’s no platonic explanation for tha-“

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.

Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?

Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.

And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.

When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.

The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.

An alternative Hondo rescues Tech is that Tech isn't well enough to stop Hondo from running around the Galaxy with him for numerous weeks, but eventually Tech is strong enough to lock Hondo in the refresher and contact Phee. They meet up somewhere. She hears Hondo banging around in the refresher.

"...you locked him in the fresher?"

"It was the moment he was least likely to be able to free himself. And, he didn't take his blaster with him."

Phee cackles, knocks on the door. "Bet that's the last time you make that mistake, huh?"

"Genoa! Phee Genoa my peer and trusted ally! If you let me out and help me subdue him I'll make it worth your while."

"No he won't," Tech says as he fiddles with the ship's comm console.

"Do not listen to him! He's an untrustworthy cur!"

Phee is barely holding in tears, she's giggling so hard. "Oh yeah? How much is my while worth to you?"

"At least ten thousand credits."

"Ten thousand to open this door?"

Tech says, "He does not have ten thousand credits."

"He says you ain't got it, Ohnaka." She looks askance at Tech. "How do you know that?"

Sounding confused, Hondo says, "Yes how do you know that?"

"Your personal security is lacking." Something on the console beeps. "There. I should now be able to signal Echo."

"Are you using my ship to send illicit communications? Genoa! I'll make it fifteen."

Phee whistles. "Damn. I dunno, Brown Eyes, this is awful tempting."

"If he could and would pay you, I'd agree. But as he can't--"

"Do not listen to his slander!"

"--and you're quite intelligent enough to know that, I can only assume you're engaging in this to toy with him."

"She would never. You would never."

"Oh wouldn't I," Phee says, and Hondo groans. She bobs her eyebrows at Tech. "Also I wanted to tease you a little."

Tech blinks. "Tease me."

"For running off with a pirate."

"Technically, he ran off with me."

"I did no such thing!"
