"You're home Lenny."
A warm hand on his shoulder as they approach an apartment door. Lisa. His baby sister.

The memories of how they pulled him out of the time stream are still disjointed and painful, so he throws his focus into the moment, into Mick behind him and into Lisa's door ahead.

He has missed her so much.

Leonard raises a hand, one that still doesn't exactly feel like his own, and raps out a familiar pattern.

Lisa is sitting on her couch reading a book when a familiar knock sounds at the door. No. Not it couldn't be...when it sounds again she's up and at the door as fast as she can move throwing it open. She takes one look at Len...at her brother, at Mick behind him, tears filling her eyes, and she pulls her arm back and punches Leonard as hard as she can in the face before pulling him close and hugging him so tightly he's probably having trouble breathing. She's crying, she's practically sobbing as she clings to him. He's alive....he's home.

He doesn't even dodge the punch as it comes in, letting it rock him back on his heels before manicured nails are tangling in his jacket and hauling him in. Leonard wraps his arms around her, burying his face in her hair.

Home.
He's finally home.

Mick shepherds both of his wayward Snarts inside, getting them to the couch and wandering off to the kitchen for the siblings to have a few moments of privacy.

Lisa lets Mick guide them inside and sits down on the couch practically in Len's lap. Her nails are still buried in his coat, her face in his neck. She's stopped crying but she's still clinging because he DIED. They told her he was dead!

"How?! How are you alive?!"

And even as they're moved into the apartment and the couch, Leonard doesn't let go of his sister, even for a moment. His hand tingles in an odd way but that isn't nearly as important as his baby sister, tangling his other hand in her hair as he soothes her.

"Mick. Mick found a way to get me home," he answers roughly. "I'm home now Lise."

"Please tell me you are never leaving like that again. No more heroing Lenny, you leave that to the Flash and his merry band of misfits. You're all I got...you can't leave me like that again. You and Mick and me...we're a family. I can't be a family without you two here." She says slowly shifting so she's just leaning against him her head on his shoulder. "So no more dying. Or I'll kill you."

A tired sound that isn't really a laugh as he curls into his baby sister and breathes in. Home. He's home with Lise and Mick and Leonard has no intention of ever leaving them behind again. "No more leaving. No more dying. I'm home," he swears. "I'm not leaving again, not ever."

"You better not." Lisa grumbles before snuggling just that much closer. "You need a place to stay a while? I can make up the bed in the spare room for you two." She asks because yes she wants them to stay here with her where she can make sure he's actually still alive.

"I promise," he answers and it isn't one that Leonard makes lightly. "Me and Mick are staying in Central for good. And yeah. We can stay here for a couple of days." They have safehouses all over Central, but houses that are too far away from his baby sister.

Lisa is so glad they are staying for good. No more time travel, no more heroes. Just them. Family. She's also so glad they're staying with her for a few days. At least that way she can reaffirm that he's actually there and this isn't a dream because knowing herself as well as she does...she knows she'll probably wake up in the middle of the night afraid he is not really back..so having him there will be good.

"So...food and movies? Also..do you need anything? Shower?"

And if Mick chuckles at the offer of food, Leonard is just going to ignore it because clearly his baby sister picked up more than a few habits from Mick along the way. "Just you Lise. You put on whatever you want. We aren't going anywhere. Not ever again."

"Ordered grub, shove over princess and let me in." Mick says gruffly before plopping down on the other side of the couch putting Lisa in the middle.

Lisa turns and hugs Mick too before just snuggling up close between them both. She's over 30 years old but right now she's acting like she did when she was a child...she's savoring the feeling of having her family close around her for the first time in years. Complete. Whole.

This is home. Safety.
Everything Leonard has ever needed crammed in on one couch. He doesn't pay much attention to the movie, his index finger tracing circles along the pad of his thumb, still getting used to the sensation.

Drifting in time for as long as he had means he gets lost in his head easier than normal, but all it takes is a poke from his sister or a shove from his partner to drag him back to the present. To his family.

If left alone Lisa too will fall asleep between these two much like she used to do as a child. She hasn't felt this safe and content in years. Everything she'd ever need right here in one spot for once content and happy enough with what they too had right here.

When food arrives Mick gets up to get it, setting the pizzas on the coffee table before them and then reclaiming his seat beside Lisa.

Leonard isn't really hungry.
Before he'd fallen into the Oculus he ate like a bird, if at all. Now it takes Mick reminding him to do simple things like eat and drink.

He wonders if that'll ever change, or if a part of him will always be a little more broken, a little more off with his return to them.

But he has Lisa with him. Safe and content curled up half on Mick's broad shoulder and her hand still tangled in his. He's home. Whatever healing he has to do, he can do it with them both.

Lisa eats several slices happy and content. She doesn't comment on Lens lack of eating because he's always been like that. She does make sure to leave snacks on her. Plate in easy reach if he decides he wants a chip or something. This is great. Perfect. Nothing could make it better.

"I'm glad you're both home."

"For good, Lise." He's done being a hero. He just wants to.. adjust to being alive again with the two people who matter the most to him.
