"What gave it away?" Hannah asked.

The blue one looked pointedly at her feet, then back up at her. "Why else would you need band-aids on your feet? In the exact same spot? Unless you wore shin bracers a lot."

She narrowed her eyes at him, realizing that she'd been a fool to go out barefooted. "I...need to go," she said, slightly breathless.

She took a step back from them, then another. Without a word she turned and ran headlong to her apartment, trying to escape them. She knew they were ninjas, and they could move fast. She looked behind her as she ran and noticed they weren't following her. They still stood where she'd left them, staring after her. She cursed her stupidity and ran faster. She didn't stop until she'd reached the apartment and slammed the door to her room behind her. When Micah and Grover asked her what was wrong, she'd shouted at them to leave her alone. She hid in her bathroom, curled up in a ball.

It was all her fault. She hadn't been careful enough. She'd thought she could handle Raphael's brothers knowing her secret, but she'd panicked. She was terrified her secret would get out, which would screw the whole quest up. Lena was right–it had been a stupid idea to trust Raph and to want him to tell his brothers. She didn't know them, how could she trust them to keep her secret? They Daimyo would find out, and she and her entire group would be disqualified and kicked out of that dimension. They'd lose the chance to warn everyone about the two evil superpowers that had joined forces. Not to mention the group would lose their credibility, and even if they tried to warn the other races they wouldn't be taken seriously. The world would fall to Gaea and Kronos, and it would be all her fault.

Hannah had single-handedly brought about the destruction of the universe.

Raph tried to tell his brothers when they arrived home, but Fearless just shook him off.

"We already know," he said.

Raphael blinked at his blue-banded brother. "W-what?"

"We found her near the arena," Donatello explained. "We figured it out."

"Yeah, dude. It was her feet," Mikey continued. "She didn't have any shoes on, and she had these two band-aids on them, here." He pointed to a spot on the top of his foot.

"I figured the only way she could've gotten them," Leo finished. "Is if she was wearing metal guards on her shins. They'd dig into her foot, hence the band-aids."

Raph collapsed into an armchair and rested his head in his hands. He tried not to think about how upset Hannah must be, how scared. "You guys can't tell, got it?"

"Why?" Leonardo asked, his voice stern.

Raphael stood up in a flash and got in his brother's face. "This tournament is important to her. To all of her group. She needs to stay in, and if anyone finds out she'll be disqualified."

"So why were you trusted?" Leo fired back. "Did she think you could keep her secret? Did she not think you'd tell us?"

"I...I was sworn to secrecy," Raph said. "But I wanted to tell you guys. It was just–"

"How long have you known?" Leo's voice was quiet, and slightly menacing.

Raph sighed. "Since last night, before I fought Achilles."

"Her name is Hannah," Donny said.

"On the battlefield she's called Achilles. Off, she's Hannah." Raphael rounded on his younger brother. "She's like two different people. Once she puts on that armor, she means business."

"How could you possibly know that?" Leo asked him. "Unless...you've spent time with her?"

"Not much," Raph admitted, sitting back down. "I just spoke with her last night, when we..." he trailed off.

"You...what?"

"Geez, quit grilling me, Leo. It's not like you've never made a mistake."

"Raph, dude," Mikey piped up. "What did you do?"

Raphael rubbed his eyes tiredly. "We made a deal to end our fight in a tie. I didn't want to fight her because she's a girl, and she didn't want to have to really beat me."

"Aw, Raphie actually cares about someone!"

"Stow it, bonehead!"

"Don't yell at him!"

"Quiet!"

Raphael stared at Leo, who had just yelled at them all. He normally wasn't this upset over stuff, but now he looked pretty mad.

"What made you think," he said, his voice shaking in anger. "You had the right to keep this secret from not only us but the Daimyo and the tournament officials themselves?"

Raph knew the answer; he just didn't want to tell his brothers. He didn't want them to know that Raph actually thought very highly of Hannah. From the first time he'd met her, she hadn't looked at him in disgust. He got the feeling that she actually saw him, saw past the shelled exterior to who he really was. And, he felt like he could be himself around her. It was so easy to talk to her, so easy to be around her. She was insanely tough, too. Fighting that ferociously with broken ribs? He didn't think even he could do that.

He realized this after only 24 hours knowing her. Was he crazy? Was he delusional with hope?

Did he care?

His golden eyes seemed to blaze as he stared his older brother down. "She's my friend."

"After 24 hours?" Leo practically shouted.

"I'm outta here." Raph tried to push past his brothers, but Leo stopped him with a firm hand on his shoulder.

"Lemme go, Fearless," the red-banded turtle growled. "I need to blow off some steam."

Leonardo glared right back, but relinquished his hold. "Don't be out too late," he said out of habit, his voice emotionless.

"Tch, right," Raph replied. He slammed the front door behind him and headed straight for Hannah's apartment.

A/N: Hope you guys liked it! Once again, it's not my best work. I think I tried to hard with Leo and Raph's argument...I also just finished watching "Remember the Titans" so I'm not in a "writing an explaining, not much action" chapter...I'm still pumped from the movie :D anyway, please review! Please?
