It had been a very bad day for Bart. He had to wake up early, miss breakfast, and some jerk had stolen his Chicken Whizzies! You could push him off a cliff and into the Arctic Ocean, but no one touched the Whizzies. I guess the worst part of his day had been the fact that this shitty morning was only the beginning.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The alarm sounded, just as it always should. Bart rolled out of bed lazily and crashed to the floor. Slowly, he stood up, using his bed to push himself upright. With blurry eyes, he took a peek at the clock.

5:00am.

Wait, WHAT?! 5:00AM?! Bart rubbed his eyes and stared. Why was his alarm going off two hours before it should? He knew that Dick had some plans for the Team today, but that wasn't a great explanation for the early wake-up call.

May as well get up and... Zzzzzz... GAH! Hold it together, dude! the Speedster thought. I'll try to find out why my clock went off so early.

Bart changed out of his pyjamas and stumbled downstairs.

"Hey, Dick! My clock went off ea-" Bart shouted as he made his way into the kitchen. He stopped and stared when he saw that the whole team was sitting around the table, looking back him.

"You're late." Dick smirked.

"LATE?!" Bart cried. "It's 5:00am!"

"Just take a seat, Bart." Cassie groaned.

"Fine." the redhead huffed. He plopped down in a wooden chair next to Jaime and looked over to Dick, who was standing at the head of the table.

"Bats gave me a mission briefing last week, and-" Dick started.

"LAST WEEK?!" Cassie yelled. "SO THIS IS ALL A MISSION?!" The blonde slammed her fist on the table angrily.

"I thought it was obvious," Karen sighed. "Whenever we go on a vacation, it's actually a mission. Honestly, Dick wouldn't take us to Japan without a pretty damn good reason."

"Ugh," Cassie rolled her eyes, crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair. "Go ahead, Boy Wonder. What's the mission?"

"There's been a number of disappearances at a school in Kyoto; the city we're in now. But this school has a University, Highschool and a Middleschool as one huge building." Dick explained. "Our job is to go undercover as students and find out what's going on."

"Wait... We're going to school?" Gar asked.

"Um, yeah." Dick nodded.

"OOOOHHH, THE PAIN! THE PAIN!" Gar clutched his chest. "I THINK I HAVE EBOLA! Oh well, no school for me!"

Jaime chuckled. "Ebola doesn't make you scream and act like you're having a heart attack."

"Oh." Gar rubbed his neck, embarrassed.

"It looks like some of us could use this mission." La'gaan teased.

Gar gave a sarcastic laugh. "Haha yeah, totally."

"Stop fighting!" Barbara commanded.

Both boys gulped, they looked terrified! "Yes ma'am!"

"We're going to school in an hour and a half. Get into your uniforms and meet me down here," Dick said. "Dismissed."
