Since multiple languages are being spoken (and I don't speak any of them other than english well) here is the key to describe the languages.
Bold = French
Italics = Romanian
Underlined = Italian
Disclaimer: I don't own any one other then Lily and my friend owns Kin and Catherine. I wish I owned DC comics but sadly I don't.
With that out of the way...here's chapter three of Lark
Chapter 3
Language extravaganza
~Catherine's POV~
Homeroom had been very uneventful, other than Kin and I being late. Kin had immediately became good friends with Dick and they spent the entire time chatting. Lily had been civil but withdrawn; only talking with the debate team captain Barbara Gordon and Dick.
Now Kin and I were walking down the hall, and Kin was complaining about the tight dress shoes that were pinching his toes. I was too busy trying to find the French V room to pay any attention. With dismay I saw the wonder twins turn into a classroom that was in the French Wing of the school. As we got closer my sense of dismay deepened, it was the class that Kin and I had next.
Upon entering the classroom we stood towards the back of the room because Madame Galeto was assigning seats. She was a new teacher and thought it was a fabulous idea to sit people in groups of four by age. I was seated across from Kin which was great and next to Lily which was not so great. Madame Galeto instructed us to use the class to get to know the others at our table.
Kin and Dick immediately continued to talk, this time in fluent french; while Lily and I sat in an awkward silence. With wide smiles our brothers turned to us and in unison said, "Maybe you two should try to talk to each other", then they both winced as we kicked their shins. Lily hesitated and slowly said, "How long have you taken french", what was annoying was she said it really slow.
Quickly I replied letting my annoyance show, "I've taken french for the last eight years. What about you?". Lily quietly said "Four years". After that we talked civilly to one another and the boys joined in once the subject of superheroes came up. Kin and I were more into the conversation then the rich twins, but they were a big part of the conversation. Dick almost said something and Lily looked at him and started rapidly talking in a language that wasn't french, or any of the others I recognized.
~Dick's POV~
I'll be the first to admit that I got a little carried away with the conversation about superheroes, but I know them personally and I am one. I was about to say something about a strange Flash quark when Lily started talking in rapid romanian. "Careful, I know what you were about to say, very few people know the random quarks of the league members. Mainly other superheroes.". I looked at Lily in surprise, she's usually very cautious about what language she speaking and she usually only speaks romanian at the manor. Kin was looking at us curiously and judging by the looks Lily and I were getting nobody else at the table understood romanian. Reluctantly I started speaking romanian as well, "You're right, but can you at least be a little more social? You've said a total of three full sentences to Catherine. She's not going to turn evil.".
Lily reluctantly nodded, "Fine...but you know why I'm withdrawn at school. It limits the amount of people actual villains can use against me if they ever find out about our secret". Now it was my turn to nod but I fired back "I know why, but we are making a scene by talking romanian so we should probably go back to speaking french before you start talking in italian or even worse atlantean". With a small smile she nodded, and I subtly sighed in relief.
~Catherine's POV~
While the other two geniuses talked to each other in rapid hushed tones I turned towards Kin. I spoke to him in a lower tone and started speaking Italian, "Do you have any idea what language they're speaking?" he shook his head and replied "I was hoping you would know considering you're the one who is fluent in five languages".
We didn't notice when the wonder twins stopped talking to each other until Lily asked in fluent italian, "What five languages?". Startled I almost jumped out of my seat and in annoyance turned to the other female twelve year old, "You first, how many languages do you speak?". She slightly smiled and replied, "I speak four languages fluently, but shouldn't we continue this conversation in french? After all, we are in french class".
I easily switched to french, "For your information I speak: italian, english, french, spanish, and gaelic". Lily and Dick both looked impressed and Lily spoke up. "That's pretty amazing. Out of your five I speak: english, french, and italian". Before I could reply the bell rang signaling the end of class.
