Another day at Gotham Academy. Oh, joy. Skye sat up and looked at the clock. Six.
"Crap! I'm late for my shower!" she exclaimed. She grabbed a towel off the door and ran down the hall. She pounded on the door. "Ash hurry up! I'm gonna be late!"
"I need time too, ya know!" her brother yelled back.
"Ya, but-" she started.
"'But' what? You have to look good for Richard?" he teased.
"Shuddup Ash! I was gonna say I take an hour to get ready!" she yelled angrily.
Her brother opened the door. "Ya, to get ready for Richard. 'Oh Richard this' or 'Richard that!'" her brother said in a suckish immatation of her.
Skye blushed. Her face the turned back to her usual color. "I do not sound like that!" she exclaimed. "Just because mom and dad are... not with us... doesn't mean you can be mean all the time!" She got in the shower.
10 mins later...
As she got dreesed, she heard a yell. "Ash!" she gasped. she ran downstairs to the living the middle of the room, lay her brother, in a pool of blood. She called Richard, a good friend of hers. "Richard? My brother's dead."
"I'll ask Bruce if he can drive us to school, ok?" came the reply.
"Ok thanks Richard. I owe you one." she hung up. 5 minutes later, Bruce and Richard picked her up. "Hey, thanks for picking me up guys." Skye said sadly.
"No problem," Bruce said, "I'm so sorry about your brother. How'd you like to stay with us?"
"May I? Please?" she asked timidly.
"Of course!" he exclaimed. "You already are there every day." he added under his breath. She broke down and started sobbing into Richard's chest. He put his arm around her, comforting her. She eventually fell asleep and entered dreams of her brother. Listening to her soft snores, Richard soon fell asleep too. Bruce then drove to Walmart to buy stuff for her room. Richard and Skye woke up right when Bruce parked.
"We're late!" Richard exclaimed.
"Calm down." Bruce scolded him. "You can miss a week or two while Skye settles in." Richard looked at Skye.
"Well, alright. Let's go shopping!" Richard said.
