*Life of Death*

Life and Barbara walked (or ran) to their History class. They skidded down the hallway. They were so busy in talking they forgot about the class. "Come On. Hurry" Barbara said as she ran. "I am coming…" Life said running behind the red head. They reached the class.

"O.K… we're… huh… ten minutes late." Barbara said catching her breath and looking at her wrist watch. "So much… for first…day of school" Life said as she breathed heavily. Barbara nodded and opened the door.

Miss Dora looked at the two. A book was in her hand. The teacher smiled at the two students standing at the door. "Well it's nice to see that you joined us Miss. Gordon" Miss Dora said as she placed a hand on her hip.

"Well… um… actually..." Barbara tried to come up with an excuse.

"I was lost and she helped me out" Life blurted out a lie.

Barbara gave her a look before smiling at the teacher. "Well… that was nice of Miss Gordon. You can take a seat now" Miss Dora said. Barbara at once walked to the second seat and sat with Bette.

"I suppose you're new here?" The teacher slightly tilted her head at Life.

"Yes. Miss I just joined." Life answered.

Miss Dora walked to her table and picked up a register. She turned some pages. "What is your name? Dear" She asked the teenager. "Life. Life Gina." Life said nervously. "Ah. Here we are. Life Gina Crock" Miss Dora said closing the register.

"That's a sweet name you have dear," She said earning a smile from the younger girl.

The woman stood infront of the class before saying, "Well… you all have a new classmate and I want one of you to help Miss. Gina in her studies in case she gets left behind and…" Miss Dora said and then opened her mouth again to add something when a hand shot up in the air.

"I'll help her out Madam" The boy said flashing a smile. Life looked at the boy.

He had dark black hair filled with hair gel, crystal blue eyes and a really clean uniform. He looked to be from a wealthy family but his eyes were filled with mischief.

Life narrowed her eyes, until it hit her in the head. That! That was the jerk that attacked her (in her point of view) and then took a photo of her…! Without her permission! Oh he was so in for a beating.

Life growled in anger. Just then the teacher said "Why? Mr. Grayson! That will be delightful dear!" Miss Dora exclaimed causing the teen standing beside her to twitch at the decision.

"Miss. Gina from now on Mr. Grayson will help you and if you're ever confused in something or need something you can ask Richard or I am always there." The woman said.

"You can take your seat with him." She said grabbing the book from her table. Life walked to her seat next to Mister Perfect with heavy steps.

She placed her books on the table and sat next to him. "Well I guess we're gonna be together from now on." The boy said playing with the tip of his pencil, a wide grin on his face as he examined her.

Life ignored him and turned the pages of her book but it didn't seem to work on the ebony sitting next to her. "My names Richard but you can call me Dick." Dick smiled as he tangled the pencil in his fingers.

Life gave him a stupid look before saying "My name's Life and you are supposed to call me Life. I think I should spell it for you L-I-F-E. Life!" She said harshly before turning her attention to Miss Dora who was saying something about the Mughal Kings. "Hundreds of years ago…" Miss Dora began.

Even the first words were so boring. Ah! Life sunk into her seat and closed her eyes for a minute.

This was going to be a long day. (Increasing the alphabet O)

*Life of Death*

Why was she in this school? This wasn't a school; it was more like a cage of torture. Okay. Take a deep breath and think what you have gone through. Umm… getting bickered by a bunch of lousy cheerleaders, Then casting a spell to get revenge AKA breaking Dad's first rule but hey they were asking for it!, Then meeting a girl who has good taste in friends, After that running through the hall way and getting late for your first class in your new school, Meeting a teacher who is just so sweet that it might make you vomit. Oh and the most important thing getting a weird boy who just wouldn't shut up no matter how much you try to insult him sitting next to you.

Well… Life Gina Crock, Death, the daughter of Sportsmaster and Gina Crock a dark magician couldn't ask for more.

This was the fourth class and Life was bored out of her mind. She started thinking about last night's encounter with Batman and Robin. She couldn't help but grin on the reaction of Robin's face. Then she started looking out of the window. She wished she could go out there and break someone's bones or maybe she could cause some trouble or maybe saving a stupid kitten from a tree might do the trick.

Anything sounded good. She was so lost in thoughts that she didn't sense the teacher's eyes getting locked on her.

Dick glanced at the teacher before whispering "Life," from the corner of his mouth. The raven haired girl ignored. "Life," He mumbled again.

Still no response.

Dick nudged her by his shoulder breaking the stream of her thoughts. "What is it?" She said glaring at him. In response Dick pointed to look up with his eyeballs. At first, she didn't understand but then she looked up.

She was an old woman in her thirties, Goofy glasses on her eyes, wrinkle filled cheeks and white hair tied in a bun. Life swallowed a curse in her throat.

The woman, whose name was, Miss. Battleaxe looked at the empty notebook infront of the teen.

Life could've sworn her eyes turned into stones there.

"You look like your new here?" Miss. Battleaxe asked as venom dropped from her voice. "Yes Madam" Life said, calmly.

"I suppose you already have notes like Mr. Grayson has?" She said, smirking.

Oh so that's was he wouldn't shut up because he's already done his work. Life thought.

"I've asked you something Miss. Gina" Miss Battleaxe said as her eyes narrowed at her notebook.

Damn! Even with those glasses she could read clearly.

"Uh… Yeah I guess?" Life said, unsure what to say. Miss. Battleaxe gave a creepy smile as she tapped her fingers on the younger girl's desk. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind solving this equation".

Life gave her a strange look, not enjoying the whole situation.

Miss. Battleaxe's lips brought themselves up into a straight line. "Solve Question number 6 of the Exercise 7.4" The woman said as she placed a chalk infront of the girl.

Life got up from her seat, picked up the chalk and walked to the black board with the book in her hand. Miss. Battleaxe nonchalantly started roaming in the room, a book braced in her hand as she carefully read it.

Everyone was busy as they all tried to solve the equation on their notebooks. Each and every head was down except for the ebony haired boy who sat on his seat, his eyes locked at the raven that was standing near the black board.

Life looked at the book and sighed. Man did she hate Math! She always hated the dreaded subject and would end up getting marks even less than average in it. Life bit her lip. The question was so difficult. Even seeing it made her headache.

How was she supposed to know what this stupid algebra meant! If she ever met the guy who created it, oh she was going to shoot a bullet straight through his brain.

She was thinking that she'll probably get detention for lying and not paying attention in class. Ah! But it was the first day of this stupid school! Daddy would be so disappointed.

She glanced at the question one more time when something hit the side of her forehead though it wasn't painful; she looked around only to find a paper airplane lying infront of her feet. She picked it up and unfolded it. To her surprise it was the answer of the problem. Life looked around and stopped when it met the Math Geek, only to find him winking at her.

Life gave Dick a thanking smile and quickly started writing on the board.

The chalk went up and down, right and left, it gave a clicking sound as it touched the black board.

Hurriedly, she finished the solution as it touched the end of the board. "Done Madam" She said turning around and crumpling the paper in her hand.

Miss Battleaxe raised her head ready to insult her and give her detention but when she looked at the board, her eyes widened behind her glasses, she didn't believe what she saw. She rubbed her eyes and again stared at the board, checking for the fourth time that the answer was correct.

Not sure, what to say she cleared her throat and talked as her eyes didn't left the board, checking for any mistake. "Mr. Grayson is the answer correct?" She asked, curiously, adjusting her glasses on her nose. "Yes Madam Battleaxe." Dick replied grinning.

Life smiled at her teacher, the piece of paper behind her back. The old lady cleared her throat before saying "You can take your seat." Life happily walked to her seat and she completely ignored the grin that the blue eyed boy was giving her.

The bell rang and everyone got up to go to their other class. Life picked up her bag, just when she heard someone cough. Life's head tilted upward.

Her silver eyes met with blue.

"So, can I see your schedule?" Dick asked a smirk on his lips. "Yeah sure" Life replied dryly as they both walked out of the class.

She pulled out her schedule and threw it in the air. Dick grabbed it and began reading it, as a smile lit up his face. "Looks like we have the same schedule…" He said shoving it infront of her face. "G-R-E-A-T!" Life growled.

What did she have to do to get rid of him?

Dick completely ignored her and handed it back to her. "So…?" He said, trying to break the ice. "Who's your favorite super hero?" He asked, knowing that she was going to say Batman.

He meant come on! All Gothamies loved Batman.

"I don't like super heroes" She answered, not showing any concern.

At this, Dick went silent for a moment, he then once again opened his mouth "Okay… So… what do you think about Robin?" He asked, trying to act casual.

Life raised an eyebrow "Who?" Dick nearly fell to the ground at her response. "Robin! The boy wonder," He said scratching the back of his head. "Oh that!" Life smiled at the last encounter with him, the image of bat symbols dancing in her head. She couldn't help but laugh. "Well… I really don't like Bird Boy that much"

Dick twitched at the nick name. "I really like him," He said, calmly. She gave him a stupid look before saying, "Oh come on Rick!"

"It's Dick," He corrected her.

"Yeah! Whatever…" She just rolled her eyes as she swayed her hand in the air as if she didn't care.

"I mean who would like a boy jumping around in a stupid tight spandex just to show how muscular he is," She said, dropping her shoulders.

Dick could feel his cheeks burn at her answer.

"Uh…Uh… so um... you like villains?" He tried to ask but his voice stuttered. He knew his cheeks were red. "Hmm…" Life closed her eyes as she thought about it. "The Joker's pretty cool…"

Dick's body trembled as he heard his 'uncle J's name. "You like The Joker!" He said, horrified.

"Yeah… I guess" She shrugged in response.

Dick shook his head. She was different from the others. He didn't know anyone in his school who liked villains more than superheroes rather than being a fan of Joker. "Do you like protégés?" He said, thinking that she might say Aqualad, Speedy. "There sidekicks," Life corrected him.

Man! Did he just hate the word Sidekick.

"No one in particular." She answered. "Oh come on, tell one?" He said, in hope that she might say his name.

"I don't remember their names" She countered.

Dick's eyebrows joined as he swallowed, "Well there's Aqualad, Speedy, Kid Flash and Robin" He said his name lastly that she may choose it. He didn't mention M'Gann a hundred percent sure that she wouldn't know about her.

"What was the last one you said?" She said, as if lost in thought.

Dick's heart bounced in his chest. "Robin." He said smiling.

The next words that came from her mouth made him want to cry.

"No, no the second last?" She said. "Kid Flash?" He said it more like a question.

"Is'nt his name Flash. Jr?" She goofily looked at him.

He mentally face palmed but he let out a chuckle that no one got his best friend's name right."Ahan."

"Well… I guess super speed is sort of cool?" She said, slyly. She examined his facial expressions. Life mentally chuckled that she was just playing with his head.

At once, the black haired beauty stopped in her tracks. "Aren't we supposed to go to Chemistry class?" She said, crossing her arms on her chest.

Dick smiled in response. "Well I already have notes so we got the fifth period free." He said cheerfully.

Life raised an eyebrow before sighing. She opened her eyes and glared at him "Correction!You have notes,I don't!" She said the words with pure anger.

"Weeellll…" Dick said as he ran a hand through his hair. "I'll just give you the photo state." He said only to see the raven glare at him. "Or you can go and hear the boring lectures…" He said as he smiled slyly.

Life's eyes widened as she thought about hearing the teacher nag about the models of atoms. She at once walked towards him. "You're going to give me the notes right?" She said, grey eyes looking straight into the blue ones.

"You have my word" He said, placing a hand on his chest. Life rolled her eyes in response.

Okay, so he helped her out then he was going to give her notes so it wasn't wrong to be a bit nice with him right? Life thought.

"So who's your favorite villain?" She asked as they entered an empty hall way.

Dick was a bit shocked at her sudden behavior but then he smiled, thinking that maybe they could get along. "I guess I like Death." He said as he remembered the magician.

Even though he had a score to settle with her but her powers and her combat was worth complementing. Life would've choked if she was eating something but she wasn't so it didn't give a good effect. "D-D-Death?" She said stuttering a bit.

Dick didn't pay any attention to how strange her voice was sounding. "She is pretty cute." He said closing his eyes as he tried to remember last night incident. Life could definitely feel the temperature rise and her cheeks were red but she shook her head trying to get rid of the statement that was bouncing in her mind.

"Where are we going?" She asked, changing the topic as they reached a door. Dick smiled before opening the door and giving a gesture to enter it. "Ladies first," Life walked in and nearly fainted because of the scene infront of her.

It couldn't be, it just couldn't be… Oh but it was… Her nightmare was right infront of her.

It was the library!

Dick quickly followed behind. Life was still recovering from the horror when an old lady stepped beside her.

"Why hello Mr. Grayson! What a pleasant surprise!" The librarian exclaimed with happiness. "Oh and you've brought a friend. How sweet!" She said eyeing Life.

Life still wasn't sure what was happening when Dick came beside her. "Hi Madam Linda how are you?" He said cheerfully.

"Oh I am just fine dear, just working you know?" Miss. Linda said as she placed some books on her desk. The old woman let out a sigh and stretched her arms.

She looked at Life who was standing there uncomfortably. "Hello sweetie! I believe you a friend of Mr. Grayson?" Miss. Linda asked. Life nodded her head in agreement. "Mr. Grayson if your free will you kindly stay here? I need to go to the Principal, some library business." Miss. Linda said.

"Sure. Me and Life are free!" Dick said joyfully. Life hand an urge to slap him on the neck but she just smiled at the old lady holding back her desire.

"Ah. Thank you. I'll be back in next period" Miss. Linda said as she hurriedly walked to the door.

"Oh and dear." She looked at the girl.

"Yes Madam," Life said, worriedly.

"That's a very sweet name you have there" She smiled at the younger girl. Life only blushed in response. "Ah… Thank you… Miss," Dick snickered but stopped when he received a glare from the girl.

Miss. Linda exited the office. Life felt a relieved when there were no longer the sounds of the woman's footsteps.

The teen helped herself on the desk and pulled out an apple from her bag. Dick went to the C section to see some books. The girl pulled an apple out from her bag and began to eat it. She was starting to feel hungry so she hurriedly ate the apple. When she had fully gobbled it down and took the last bite, a bright blue light was shot out of nowhere. The world at one turned dark and it took a few minutes for her to think what just happened.

That dweeb snapped a picture of her!

She looked at the C section with hatred as she heard a cackle. She threw what was left of the apple in the trash bin and jogged towards the place. She looked behind from a shelf to see him snickering as Dick typed something on his Smartphone.

He was so doomed!

Life silently walked towards him until she was one and a half feet away from him. She cleared her throat inorder to show her presence.

Can't risk the secret identity now can we?

Dick at once turned around startled by the sound. She was standing right behind him, glaring daggers at him. Dick didn't know what to worry about? About her being angry or the fact that she approached him so silently and he didn't know it. He was a Bat! Bats were the one to sneak on people not the other way around! He felt a bit relax that Bruce wasn't around or else he was in for a good lecture of being aware of your surroundings.

"Uh…" He said completely sounding stupid.

"This is the second time you nearly blinded me!" Life said harshly.

"Ah… I don't recall anything?" He said smirking.

"Don't worry Rick! I'll make sure you remember" Life said as venom dripped from her voice.

Oh she was going to enjoy this.

"It's Dick." Dick reminded her.

"As if I care!" She grunted. She extended her hand before saying, "Now be a good boy and delete the pictures" She ordered him.

"Oh yeah," Dick grinned as he leaned in close to her. "I like being a bad boy" He said, flashing her a smile.

Life didn't care she tried to snatch the phone from him. And the next things that happened Life couldn't properly fix them in. She was now lying on the ground, her arm bent behind her back with a weight on top of her. "Not so tough now are we?" Dick smirked, as he pressed her to the ground.

Okay, she wasn't going to hold back anymore.

She quickly kicked him backwards with her leg. Dick got up a bit surprised when suddenly he was pinned to the shelf, a few books fell because of the jerk. "Now, what were you saying?" She said pinning him harder to the shelf.\

Dick's eyes widened he couldn't believed what the hell just happened?

"Now delete those photos or else I am going to break you're your cell phone!" She commanded.

"Alright! Alright! You win just let go of me" Dick said even though he could fight back. She let go of the raven. He looked at her before deleting the photo.

"Can I keep the first one?" He said with puppy dog eyes.

Life nearly laughed but seeing those eyes only made her heart melt a little. "No, Dick." She refused.

Dick smirked before saying "Looks like you finally got my name right." Life blushed but seeing him pin her so easily to the ground impressed her a bit. "I guess, you can keep the first one." She tilted her head before laughing.

"As a memorial for our friendship"

Dick smiled and he could already see her and Babs giggling like friends. Oh and one more thing came to his mind:

He was going to ask Alfred if he could loosen up his costume.

A\N: Well that took a lot of time but since Holidays have started I am going to update faster.

Happy Holidays Guys!
