"Ariel, you don't know where we are. Just give me the damn map and-"
"Shut up Kida, I know exactly where we are. Third floor in front of Mr. Banner's science class, and to the right, Mrs. Bonnie's English class – our English class. See, it's right in here,"
Kida's brown eyes grew in panic. "Wait! That's the-"
Ariel opened the door to a fifteen-year-old guy with flaming hair.
"-men's washroom."
Ariel gave a startled yell and promptly slammed the door in the ginger's face. "Please, please, tell me I didn't do that."
"You did, and FYI, we're on the first floor." Kida said, exasperated. "Now how bout you give me that freaking map already?"
A slightly flattened tuff of orange hair came into view, followed by a slighted flattened face. "Well hello beautifuls."
The girls stared.
He sidled up to Kida, "well gorgeous, I always make it my business to aid a breath taking damsel in distress. How can I be of assistance?"
"Uh-I-I-Maybe-You-Uh-English-Class?" Kida stammered, a light blush rising to her cheeks. She looked around hopelessly as if whishing she was anywhere – anywhere, but here.
"What my shrimpy friend is trying to say – do you know where we could find the third floor? Because I swear, I've been up like four flights of stairs and I'm getting nowhere fast."
"No, that's a stupid question, I am not stupid enough to say something like that," Kida glared.
"Hey now, there are no stupid questions, only stupid….."
"Exactly."
"Sooo – what class do you have?" The ginger seemed uncertain for once.
"Bonnie, English." Ariel, said smiling, "my name's Ariel, and the mini chick is Kida."
"West, Wally West." He grinned and led them down the hall.
"Wait don't you have classes?" Kida asked concerned.
"Yep" He winked.
Kida let out a whimper, and whispered, "My god Ariel, he's skipping."
Ariel rolled her eyes, "why do I know you again?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Kida replied.
"Well ladies, what brings you to this sad, sad place."
"Uhh- the law that says we have to go to school?" Confused, Kida looked up at Wally.
"Yeah, sucks right? I've got better things to do, I mean it's not like I'm going to be a doctor – I already…" He trailed off, "Not that I don't like spending my time with sweet babes like you." Wally winked yet again.
Kida blushed.
Ariel snickered, "hey sweetie, that's called being hit on."
"What?"
"Hey Kida!" Ariel ran over to her friend "Are we going to the base today? I think Hannah said we had an assignment…"
"Not here dumbass. People. Could. Hear. You." Kida hissed, "but, yeah, we're supposed to check out some shipping. They think it may actually be an import of venom."
"Sweet, knowing Hannah she'll give us some boring lecture on recklessness again."
Kida sighed, "first off, it's called a briefing, second, it's not me who keeps doing stupid shit, it's you."
"Yeah, well, apparently I'm the only one who likes having a little fun. Jeez, it's not like I've damaged anything important."
"You blew up our supervisors car."
"Hey, it was probably a crappy car anyway."
"It was brand- Oh crap, we really have to go. We'll be late."
"So what?" Ariel blanked, "does it matter?"
"We'll be late."
"Damn, Hannah said she'd string me from a flag pole if I was late. She'll kill us"
"Yeah, but we'll be late."
"Chill, you're ,like, the golden girl, Hannah doesn't want to hang you like a flag."
"Comon" Kida yelled, already far ahead of her, "we're gonna be late!"
"And does anyone listen?" Ariel grumbled running after the quickly disappearing dark haired figure. "Hey, wait up midget!"
"You're late." The girls cowered in front of their Capitan.
"I-I'm sorry Hannah, we-" Kida said, struggling for words.
"You." Hannah whirled on Ariel, completely ignoring Kida's protests. "Do you have any idea how lucky you are to be apart of F.O.X.?"
"Just like winning the lottery, except that I might die at any given moment." Ariel said dryly.
"Oh, I have a feeling you'd accomplish that without our help." Hannah stated. "You. Are a danger to yourself, and others. You're staying here in training, while Rubix is on the Venom case."
"What!" Ariel said angrily, "But she's my damn partner!"
"She's also our smartest agent, and only got paired with you due to age." Hannah said calmly. "Now go walk on your hands or something."
"I really hate her." Ariel muttered as they left.
"I can hear you, and somehow, I think I'll manage."
"Turn to your right, there's some kind of hidden panel"
Kida sighed, it was late, she was bored, and she still had a ton of homework to do. The Venom lead had been a bust – much to Ariel's glee – and she was stuck doing a flipping simulation. This has got to be some kind of insult, she thought, staring at the riddle. Do they think I'm stupid? If these are the clues the riddler leaves, a ten year old kid with a dictionary could have caught him. She glared at the blurring screen, the little icon that was Ariel ran in to a wall. Idiot. She was the same as the first time they met. She'd been in the library when some loud mouth came in. It took her a while, but Kida eventually realized the girl was talking about an actual book – not the colour of her shoes. The girl saw what she was reading and bounced up introducing herself as Ariel Capulet, the girl with over fifty dollars in overdue fees.
She laughed to herself; Ariel had tripped over her shoe again.
"Stupid game, stupid shoe, stupid floor" – Kida laughed – "stupid genius," Ariel muttered unhappily. Sure if she had to admit it she was quite aware of how unlikely it had been for her to make it into F.O.X. She was also aware of how unqualified she was to be Kida's partner. But if she wasn't forced to say it, she wouldn't. She'd, had to beg to even be tested for F.O.X., it was only because of Hannah she'd even passed. They said she wasn't skilled enough, but in some once-in-a-lifetime-act-of-kindness, Hannah stepped in.
She'd figured it out – Kida's identity as Rubix, when her dad died. Leon Capulet – Officer Capulet – shot while working on a homicide case. Then they called in the specialists, Rubix and Hannah Archer. She'd recognized Kida right away, and demanded to be trained by F.O.X.
At first it wasn't about being a hero, to be honest it still wasn't. It was about making sure people like her dad never died, and kids never lost their parents. She'd always had a save the world complex, now she could put it into action. As stupidly cliché as it sounded, she wanted to be a shining knight, protecting others the same way her dad did. That's why she chose the code name Knight, it was a pact made with herself.
"Hey Kida?"
"Yeah?"
"You want to go see Nathalie after school tomorrow? We have a half day, so we can go meet her at Gotham Academy."
