RaphLeo

LeoRaph is the family ship between Raphael and Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom.

TMNT
Leo returns home to his family and talks with Master Splinter. Splinter suggests that Leo talk with Raph, since him leaving affected him, though he'll never admit. Raph standing on the other side of the door, listening in. Splinter calls attention to Raph and he awkwardly steps forward, giving Leo a "welcome back". Leo says that it's good to see him, and they exchange a few awkward pleasantries, before Raph says that he's going to bed. He walks by Donnie sleeping on the couch and wakes him, telling him to say hi to Leo before he leaves again.

They meet on the rooftops, and Raph asks why they're up there. Leo says that he said he'd get the team back in order, and that while he's been gone a vigilante called the Night Watcher has taken over. But his days are numbered. Raph says that the Night Watcher was the only guy to pick up slack while Leo was gone, and crime never took a break. Leo just did. Their arguing is interrupted by a roar, and Raph decides to lead them to the source. Leo tries to stop them, but they all follow Raph anyways.

The morning after their fight with the monster, Raph is mad about how they god beat. Leo says it's embarrassing that Raph can't even follow a simple order, but Raph says that he's been back for five minutes and he's already dictating some master plan. Leo asks if he's accusing him of it all being his fault, and asks if he's the only one that has to be responsible. Raph says that Leo is the trained master, but Mikey puts their fighting to a rest as Splinter walks in.

After Raph recovers from being knocked out, and they find out Winters is behind it, Raph asks where they can find him. Leo says they're not doing anything without Splinter's blessing, and Raph says that Leo shouldn't quote a yearbook he hasn't followed in over a year. Leo tells Raph to get whatever it is off his chest, but he won't debate Splinters order, and Raph just says that he quits. He then storms out and puts on his Night Watcher outfit, planning to dish out his own form of vigilante justice.

Out as the Night Watcher, Raph is suddenly confronted with Leo who chases him through the city. They end up stopping on a rooftop, where Leo tries to talk him down. Raph can't believe that Leo is actually lecturing him, and decides that it's time to teach him a lesson. Leo says he doesn't want to do this, and the two start fighting as Leo taunts him. Leo gets a good hit in, and knocks his helmet off, being completely taken aback that the Night Watcher is Raph. Raph punches him and says that he's so smug and thinks that the world revolves around him. Raph says they got along fine without Leo, and Leo asks how Raph's vigilante-ism qualifies as just fine. Raph says that Leo can't just come home and expect everyone to fall in line, and Leo said he was training to be a better leader for his family. Raph asks if he ever said he wanted to be led, and that he's better off on his own. Leo says he's not ready and that Leo is better than him. Raph pulls out his sai's and says he disagrees, and Leo tells him not to do this. Raph says he's done taking orders, and Leo pulls out his swords, starting their fight.

Raph ends up breaking Leo's swords and pins Leo to the ground, before panicking over what he's done. He runs away, when Leo is kidnapped by Winter's siblings. He let's out a scream, which Raph hears. He immediately turns back to rescue Leo, but is unable to catch up and save him. Letting out a loud scream of "No!". Raph returns to the lair and tells Master Splinter he understands why he chose Leo to be the leader, and that Leo was taken.

Once they break into Winters tower, Raph finds Leo and Donnie breaks the cage open. Raph helps Leo out, and hands Leo's swords, saying he's gonna need them if he's gonna get them out of there. Leo takes them, and says he's gonna need Raph as well.
