Secrets

Third Person P.O.V.

It was a regular day at Animal High School and everyone was going about minding their own business. The turtles were trying to keep their powers a secret, and Donnie made each of them an anti-power wristband. It was made so that their powers couldn't go off at all, that way they wouldn't cause any hysteria at school. It was around Chemistry class that Donnie came across Crane. They decided to do a chemical experiment, and it was the perfect time for Donnie to talk to Crane about the event that happened the other day.

Donnie: "Hey Crane, mind if I ask you something?"

"Fire away"

"Did you see the newsflash last night?"

"Newsflash?"

"Yeah, channel 6 had a newsflash about croc bandits committing a jewel heist last night, until some heroes stopped them. Based off of local eyewitnesses, there was the Furious Five, the Dragon Warrior and the Tiger Twins. You didn't hear about it?"

Crane then felt like he was cornered mentally. Donnie hit every single detail about what happened that night, yet he won't admit with other students nearby. So he pretended to not have heard about it, and while at it talk to Donnie.

"To be honest, not really. But while we're talking news events, there was a big news event from my side of town about 5 people who captured pig bandits stealing money from a local bank. Did you hear about that by any chance?"

Donnie felt the same bad feeling Crane did, but pretended not to know about it.

"No, not really"

"Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping you knew something about it"

"Same here, friend of mine"

But in their minds, they only wish they could've told each other the shocking news. So they both decided to text the others and tell them what's going on.

Donnie texted his brothers: 'Meet me in the auditorium, i've got something to talk about'

Crane texted his friends: 'Guys i need you in the gym right now. It's urgent'

Later on at lunch in the auditorium...

Leo: "Okay I'm here Donnie, what's the big news that had to be told in the auditorium?"

"There's something we need to talk about, all of us together"

At the same time in the gym,

Tigress: "What is it Crane, I was busy eating"

Crane: "Okay everyone, I gathered you all here for one thing"

Donnie: "Guys, there's no easy way to say this but-"

Crane: "To put it simple-"

Both: "The others know about our powers"

Everyone: "WHAT?!"

Donnie: "In chemistry class, I asked my friend about the news last night, but he said he didn't know about it. He then asked me about other news related to our crime event"

Dannie: "Did you tell him about it?"

Crane: "No, I didn't. He doesn't know, but he's suspicious about it"

Mantis: "How could he get suspicious?"

Donnie: "He mentioned our team name; the 'Ninja guardians' and what the crime was about. He also mentioned how the heroes in the footage looked vaguely familiar compared to us. That's how he got suspicious"

Tigress: "Still, did you just blatantly tell him or?"

Crane: "No, but now he's onto me. He'll probably tell his brothers too"

Leo: "Which is why we'll have to keep a low profile until after school"

Mikey: "Then what?"

Viper: "Nothing but to tell the truth"

Po: "Are you really sure that's a good idea?"

Danny: "But won't our master be mad at us for blowing our cover?"

Leo: "Not unless we tell him everything"

Raph: "Why we should tell him? It won't make that much of a difference"

Monkey: "We're better off telling him than keeping it a secret and getting in even bigger trouble"

Po: "Yeah, maybe you're right"

Donnie: "Then, what time should we meet them?"

Tigress: "Let's wait it out first. We'll see if they make a move or not. If not, we'll search for them at night and see if it's them"

Everyone: "Right"

Donnie and Crane: "I just hope he doesn't freak out about this"

Later that day...

The turtles were back home from school. Donnie was working on his homework, but his mind was on other things. He couldn't stop thinking about the fact that his friend thinks he's been hiding something from him. Leo said that when they get home, he would talk to Splinter about it and see what he would do. Raph was doing sit-ups while Mikey was watching TV. Leo then came out the dojo to talk to everyone

"Okay, I talked to Master Splinter about the whole situation and he took it surprisingly well"

Donnie: "Well?"

"He wants us to go look for them during our patrol. If we spot them, we confront them and try to see who they really are"

Raph: "How will we get to reveal their identities?"

"We'll have to earn their trust in order for that to happen. But we have to start with our alter-egos, we can't just show up as ourselves"

So then, they agreed that when they go out they'll see if their friends have been hiding a secret just like they have.
