The air in the lair thickens with sudden tension as Leonardo returns, his shell scuffed and his expression exhausted from a grueling solo mission. With a tenderness that contrasts his warrior nature, he carefully reveals the small treasure held in his arms: a mutant infant named Venus. Raphael doesn't waste a second, letting out a sharp, sarcastic laugh and joking about who exactly got Leo pregnant, causing the leader to close his eyes in a moment of sheer exasperation. Donnie leans in, eyes narrowing with scientific curiosity as he demands to know where she came from, and Leo confirms she was a rescue from the Foot Clan. Mikey, eyes wide and beaming with joy, practically bounces on his heels, asking if this means they're all officially uncles now.
