Megan Morse was an ordinary girl.
Except... for the fact that she had eleven brothers and sisters.
It was September 9th and her first day at Gotham Academy. She had been home-schooled most of her life and wasn't sure how well she'd fit in with kids who have known each other for years. For most of the July and August months she had stayed with her uncle, John Jones. He was the soft-spoken archaeology professor at the nearby Gotham University, a gardener, and cared for his niece like his own child.
Megan woke up that morning an hour earlier than planned and felt butterflies. Whether it was from anxiety or joy she didn't know. She put on her uniform, a white button-up blouse, a navy sweater-vest, a red tie, and a navy pleated skirt that came just above her knees. Thinking her uncle wasn't up she went to the kitchen to make breakfast but saw him, spatula in hand, making pancakes (organic, of course. Her uncle refused to have anything that wasn't) and eggs.
"Oh. Megan, good morning!" The tall African-American man smiled cheerfully.
"Good morning uncle John! I didn't think you were awake yet and I was hoping I could make breakfast for once." Megan said sheepishly.
"That is thoughtful of you, Megan. However, you and I both know your cooking skills are a bit lacking." The grown man chuckled, recalling the time she burnt a batch of snickerdoodles, "But how would you like to come help me with the pancakes?" he asked smiling.
The young girl beamed, she always wanted to cook, just like her mother "I'd love to!".
Half an hour later the duo sat eating their slightly-too-golden/brown pancakes and eggs, watching the news and talking about whatever odd things had happened so far. Living in Gotham, where kindergarteners carried mace, was like living in the breeding ground for crime. Most crimes usually happened in the lower west side and at night, but in the mornings they would recap yesterday's events, or talk about how stupid criminals tried to rob stores in broad daylight.
The most talked about crimes were usually done by the numerous Mafias residing in Gotham. Those crimes were the most successful, especially by the three most notorious, "The Shadows", "The Light", and another that happened to be nameless. The success of these three Mafias is probably because until this very day people still didn't know who ran them. All that is known about them is that both the nameless Mafia and "The Shadows" are connected to "The Light", despite being rivals. Other Mafias, like the "Ice" Mafia, named for their use of dry ice in torture methods, are too messy with covering their tracks, thus leading to their arrest.
"There haven't been any crimes by the shadows lately...Do you think they might be planning something, Uncle John?"
"Maybe, but it's best not to dwell on such matters." he paused then added, "Are you nervous about going to school?"
After a slight pause Megan said "I'll admit that I'm a bit nervous, yea." She played some more with the scrambled yellow-white mess on her plate, "But I have a feeling I'll get used to things pretty quickly!" Megan smiled.
"Good. You'll do great, Megan. You are an intelligent girl with a heart of gold, you'll fit right in!" John reassured.
"I hope so." was all Megan mumbled.
"Go get ready. I'll clean up the table."
"Okay. Thanks Uncle John." Megan said giving her uncle a hug and leaving for her room.
She did her hair and makeup and got her backpack to meet her uncle at the door. It was her first day at Gotham Academy, prestigious school for the uber smart or uber rich. It was a good thing her family was wealthy. Not to say Megan wasn't smart, she was, but to get into GA you had to be Einstein. Looking up at the gigantic iron gate and equally gigantic school behind it to say she was overwhelmed was an understatement.
Less than a second after she was marveling at the academy she felt something knock her down.
"WHOA!" Leave it up to the track star of Gotham to be so clumsy.
Wallace "Wally" West: Gotham Academy's #1 Track Star, Science prodigy, Ladies man, and Class Clown.
His dad wanted him to be in the family business. His father was a lawyer, and so was his grandfather and great-grandfather, and Wally's dad expected him to do the same. Wally, however, had always wanted to be a forensic scientist like his uncle Barry. But right now the only thing on his mind was his best friend, Dick Grayson. Wally spotted him across the long brick pathway and ran over to the freshman screaming "DICK, DI-" right until he toppled over the pretty redhead.
"Ohmigod, I'msosorry, Ididn'tevenseeyouthere! Areyouokay?" Wally said at a, what should be, impossible speed.
"Huh?" the redhead was still on the ground.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh, um, yea. I think so." She mumbled.
"Good. I'm Wally, by the way." He held out a hand. "And you are?"
"Megan. Megan Morse. I'm new."
"That explains it! I mean it's a big school but you didn't look familiar. You have a liaison?"
"Yes, her name is-" She pulled out the piece of paper from her backpack and read it out loud. "Raven Roth."
With a sound of disgust and an eye-roll he mumbled "Uh...I hate her."
At that moment said girl appeared, hood up, music blaring, and wisps of purple hair sticking out from under the hood.
"You must be Megan." She said monotonously.
"Yeah! How did you know?" Megan asked, ignoring Wally's previous comment.
"She can sense happiness and rushes to corrupt it." Wally begrudged.
"Wally, or should I say Wallace, nice to see you again." She said with a ghost of a smirk then turned to Megan, "You're the only new girl here." Raven said, obviously annoyed by Megan's perkiness.
"Raven, nice to see you too" Wally said with sickeningly sweet tone.
"Look, I don't wanna be here and since you know Wally how about he becomes your liaison? K, bye." without another word Raven turned around and walked away.
"I guess you're my new liaison?" Megan said to Wally.
"I guess I am. I'll show you around the school in a second, let's just go and bother a freshman first." Wally winked.
"Why would we do that? That's mean!" Megan gasped.
"You'll understand why in a second." He promised.
