AN: So hey I'm back with another chapter and as you will learn this story is about to evolve into something you might not have been expecting but hopefully all it will do is amplify it and keep you on the edge of your…well whatever your sitting on while reading this.

Chapter 7

"So you gonna tell us what happened after you got back with all those cuties" Wally asked Sin as they did a warm up spar.

"Nope" Sin said simply blocking a quick series of kicks from Wally.

"So not cool I thought we were bro's come on man" Wally frowned rolling away from a flipping axe kick.

"We are but some things just aren't meant to be talked about" Sin grinned.

"Ugh so lame" Wally threw more kicks at Sin.

"Besides don't you have a girl" Sin asked blocking the kicks easily.

"What are you talking about" Wally grunted blocking a few light jabs.

"The blonde haired girl from the archery team I always see you flirting with her" Sin said ducking under a jumping spin kick.

"Dude he flirts with everybody" Logan joked.

"You mean Artemis…she won't even give me the time of day every time I try to ask her out she just brushes me off" Wally frowned.

"Have you ever tried asking her seriously" Sin asked catching one of Wally's kicks.

"What do you mean I asked her over a dozen times she should know I'm serious" Wally tried to jump and kick Sin with his free leg but Sin caught it and he ended up landing flat on his back.

"I mean ask her seriously no jokes and or stupid pickup lines" Sin said helping Wally get to his feet.

"Dude no way that would work you gotta make the girl laugh" Logan yelled as he got thrown halfway across the room by Richard.

"Yeah I gotta agree with string bean on this one laughter is the key" Victor said blocking a right hook from Conner.

"Yeah if you can make a girl laugh you she'll fall for you guaranteed" Richard agreed.

"Are you guys serious okay yes laughter is the key to getting a girl to loosen up and relax around you but that's just the first step if you really want her to fall for you, you have to get serious give her compliments notice the little changes and adjustments she dose to see if you will notice, making a girl fall for you isn't one big step, it's a bunch of baby steps and by the time she realizes she's fallen for you, you'll already have a special place in her heart….seriously how have you guys been getting chicks without knowing that" Sin asked confused.

"Good looks" Conner shrugged making the other guys quickly nod in agreement.

"You guys are something else…alright Wally I'll make you a deal if my advice doesn't work I'll buy you boys dinner…if it does work you all admit that I'm the master when it comes to women" Sin offered.

"Deal" Wally quickly agreed.

"Okay everyone hit the showers I've got to see this" Richard smirked.

"Oh yeah free food is the best food" Victor cheered.

Once everyone had showered and changed into regular street clothes they head over to the archery ranged.

"Okay that's her what do I do" Wally asked as Artemis and a group of girls were walking towards them with bows over their shoulders.

"Walk over to her and give her a sincere compliment then ask her out on a date" Sin advised.

"A sincere compliment like what" Wally asked.

"Ask her if she cut her hair shorter and then tell her you like the way it looks because the way it frames her face really brings out her eyes…if she ask if you're serious reassure her and tell her you always thought she had beautiful eyes" Sin advised. Wally nodded and walked over.

"This isn't gonna work" Victor said with his arms crossed.

"Dudes gonna crash and burn" Logan agreed.

/Artemis POV/

I saw Wally and his group of friends walking towards me and my friends. I always thought he was pretty cute but he was a goofball and a flirt and I could never take him seriously. He'd asked me out several times but always in a way where I couldn't tell if he was serious or not so I always brushed him off. I still liked him though he made me laugh I just wish he'd show me a bit of his serious side. I saw him start walking over toward me with his usual grin and I was already expecting his usual flirtatious banter.

"Hey Artemis….did you happen to cut you hair" Wally asked.

Well this was a surprise I hadn't expected him to notice, I had only cut it an inch or so shorter.

"Yeah why" I asked hopping it didn't make me look bad.

"I like it…I mean it looks good on you, the way it frames your face really accents your eyes" Wally said giving her a genuine smile.

I felt my heart skip a beat and I found myself nervously twirling my fingers in my hair. "You really think so" I asked trying to hide my blush.

"Yeah I mean I've always thought you had beautiful eyes to be honest" Wally said scratching the back of his next nervously.

I was speechless Wally was actually being serious and Oh my gosh was he blushing.

"Hey so look if you're free this afternoon I was wondering if you'd want to catch a movie and maybe get some ice cream or something, you know nothing to crazy" Wally asked.

I had to force myself not to scream yes I'd never seen this side of Wally before it was shy but serious and even though I liked him as a goofball it was nice to see this side of him. "I like ice cream…and a movie sound great here text me the time you were planning on picking me up" I quickly scribbled down my number on a lose piece of paper and handed it to him. Before realizing I was in a rush to get to my next class. "Sorry I gotta run" I said walking away with a smile on my face.

/regular POV/

The guys stood their arms crossed as Wally walked over to them with a confused look.

"Hey man don't sweat it we can't all be a ladies' man" Richard said placing a hand on Wally's shoulder.

"Yeah man it'll be okay" Logan nodded.

"Yeah if she rejected you it's no big deal on the bright side we get a free meal baby" Victor cheered.

"Dudes she didn't reject me she said yes to the date and she gave me her number" Wally said holding up the slip of paper.

Everyone's jaws dropped except for Sin's who was sitting there smirking.

"But how" Conner asked in disbelief.

"I just did exactly what Sin said and she said yes dude your awesome how'd you know what I should say anyway" Wally asked.

"It's a skill I picked up you just have to know how to read a person is all…when she was you walking down the hallway she immediately touched her hair a sign that she'd probably done something to it since you last talked and from the amount of lose strands she had on her shoulder I figured she'd got it cut recently" Sin shrugged.

"Dude what were you before you became a college student a spy or something" Logan asked.

"Nah I wasn't anything like that" Sin laughed.

"Still that's a pretty impressive skill I'll have to look into learning it" Richard said with a hand on his chin.

"Dude do you really need more chicks aren't you dating a model" Logan complained.

"You mean Kori yeah we're going on six months" Richard smiled.

"Like you're one to talk aren't you still dating that Terra chick" Victor teased Logan.

"Yeah she's a real catch isn't she" Logan swooned. "Besides Vic last time I checked you and Karen were still going at it on the regular"

"How'd you know that" Victor asked putting Logan in a friendly headlock.

"I saw her coming out of you apartment when I was coming over for video game night from the way she was walking it wasn't hard to put two and two together" Logan revealed.

"Oh…yeah I guess we're going steady now" Victor admitted letting Logan go.

"Well looks like you all are hitched up guess me and Conner are the only single ones left" Sin sighed.

"Dude I wouldn't exactly call living in house full of beautiful women who have the hots for you being single" Conner complained.

"Seriously there's only so much luck in the world for guys and you must be holding onto all of it right now" Wally complained.

"Who was it again that just got you a date with your dream girl" Sin raised an eyebrow at Wally.

"Yeah you're right thanks again bro" Wally said fist bumping Sin.

"No problem but if we're done with practice I have a couple of errands to run so I'll catch you guys later" Sin said looking at his watch.

"Yo Sin don't forget we have our first fight card tomorrow make sure you get plenty of rest" Richard yelled after him as he took off down the hall.

Back at the boarding house.

Dinah woke up with one of the worst hang overs of her life she was usually the one taking care of the girls after they had a long night and she knew she wouldn't be the only one with a bad hangover. She struggled to get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to work on breakfast only to find Rose and Jade eating a plate of waffles bacon and scrambled eggs.

"Rose it's pretty rare for you to cook especially after a night of drinking" Dinah said walking over the already made pot of coffee.

"I didn't cook this I thought you did" Rose said looking up at Dinah.

"I just woke up there was no way I was gonna get up before noon after the way I drank last night" Dinah sighed sitting down at the table holding her head. "Maybe Argent cooked"

"Not after she almost burned the house down last time she tried to cook and her friends are just as bad as she is" Rose sighed.

"Then that just leaves Kole" Jade said.

"Mmmm something smells delicious who cooked breakfast" Kole yawned wiping her eyes as she came down the stair behind trudged the hung over trio of Argent, Harley and Jinx.

"Well looks like it wasn't Kole either" Jade sighed.

"Well it definitely wasn't Casper the friendly ghost so it must've been-"

"SIN COOKED US BREAKFAST" Kole squealed irritatingly loud.

"Please keep your voice down Kole and how do you know that" Dinah asked rubbing her temples.

"He left a note" Kole said pulling a sticky note off the microwave.

"What does it say" Argent asked.

"Good morning to all the beautiful girls of the boarding house I woke up early so I decided to make you all breakfast I figured most of you would have hangovers so I also made a special remedy that always helped me recover from a hangover it's in the pitcher in the fridge one glass should do the trick I'll see you all later when I get home" Kole read off the letter. Argent, Harley, and Jinx rushed over to the fridge and threw it open finding the pitcher of black liquid sitting on the center shelf. Argent grabbed it while Harley grabbed enough cups for everyone. Argent poured everyone a glass, the pitcher had just enough for everyone to have one glass.

"Well down the hatch" Jade said downing her glass.

"Hmmm it kind of taste like blackberries mixed with mango" Rose said trying to identify the unique taste.

"Yeah it taste pretty good" Dinah admitted.

"Oh man my head already feels better" Argent sighed in relief sitting back in her chair.

"Yeah mine to wow that worked fast" Jade cheered.

"Sin could make a fortune if he sold this recipe" Harley said finishing her glass.

"No doubt about it" Jinx agreed.

"I wonder where he learned to make it" Kole said as head and stomach settled almost instantly.

"Who knows he really doesn't like talking about his past" Rose sighed.

"Why not" Jade asked.

"We don't know but it couldn't have been pretty every time we try to bring it up his eyes turn cold and his voice gets edge to it that make me shiver" Dinah admitted.

"Have you tried looking up his school records, family history, or even look to see if he was an arrest record" Jade asked. When no one answered she rolled her eyes. "Rose go get me your laptop". Once Jade had Rose's laptop her fingers were like a blur on the keys everyone gathered around her to see what she was doing.

"So watcha doing" Jinx asked.

"I'm trying to see if I can bring up any of his school records or any records on him at all" Jade said without slowing down. After a few minutes she stopped and everyone waited to see if she found something. "Okay I managed to find a few things but…I really can't make any sense of it" Jade said frustrated.

"What do you mean" Rose asked.

"Well I found some of his school records but….there are like 20 of them from school all over the world and not only that some of them are really exclusive world class schools" Jade said looking over the list.

"You mean like the school millionaires send their kids to" Harley asked.

"I'm talking about the schools billionaires send their kids to" Jade said making them all glance at each other nervously.

"So what you're saying is Sin is the heir to some kind of massive fortune" Rose asked.

"I don't know but some of these aren't just elementary middle or high schools their colleges on here to but the dates just don't add up" Jade said scrolling through some of the colleges. "Like if this date was correct that would mean Sin got a master's degree in botany when he was 14" Jade gasped.

"That can't be right….although does anyone know exactly how smart Sin is" Rose asked. Everyone shook their heads "Thought so" Rose sighed.

"Now that I think about it Sin isn't even looking for a job so how was he expecting to pay rent" Argent asked.

"Well he already paid for the entire year" Dinah admitted.

"When did he pay you" Kole asked.

"The first night he got here" Dinah answered.

"So you're telling me he just came down here and gave you 10 grand and that didn't make you wonder anything" Rose shook her head.

"Well he gave me 12 grand said the other 2 was for anything I might need so no I didn't exactly ask any questions" Dinah scowled.

"So he just shows up like some sexy bad boy god and hands you a stack of money and you just let him stay here he could've been some crazy rapping psychopath for all you knew" Argent threw he hands in the air.

"It's not rape if you like it" Jinx said in a sing song manner.

"Shut up yah hornball" Argent rolled her eyes.

"So according to these records Sin could be a genies and a heir to a massive fortune" Dinah said as her head as starting to hurt again.

"Yeah that's what they seem to be pointing to" Jade said closing the laptop.

"But why would he be here I get it JCU is one of the best colleges in the country but it doesn't even break the top 10 some of schools on that list were in the top five in the world" Rose sighed.

"Who knows maybe we should just ask him" Argent suggested.

"Yeah that seems like the easiest solution" Kole agreed.

"Anyway we'll ask him when he gets back until then let's eat I'm starving" Dinah said going back over to the table.

To where Sin is.

Sin cracked his neck as he left an alley way leaving three unconscious men lying against a dumpster. They'd made the mistake of trying to rob him when he passed by one of them even had the balls to pull a knife on him but a broken arms ended that threat in a heartbeat. Sin kept walking around whistling an easy tune in one of the worst neighborhoods in jump city. He kept walking until he came to an abandoned parking garage, he ducked through a hole in the fence and quickly made his way into the old structure he came to an open elevator shaft and jumped down it. He fell straight down about two stories before landing on a pile of mattresses. After straightening out his clothes he walked out of the elevator shaft like it was nothing and walked down the pitch black hallway until he came out into the underground garage.

"You wanted to see me" Sin said into the darkness. A Single light turned on with woman standing under it in a tight black dress with one polished black heel up on a metal suitcase.

"I have a job for you" The woman said tapping her heel on the briefcase.

"I thought I was on vacation and the mattresses were a nice touch made the landing a lot softer" Sin sighed.

"My father sends his apologies but this particular job must be completed by you there is no one else with the required skill set and please you would've been fine without them" The woman smiled.

"What about you I'm sure you could complete it no problem" Sin asked.

"I've already been assigned another task…though mine is not nearly as exciting as yours" The woman huffed.

"Does part of that excitement you mention include the two dozen men you have hiding in the shadows" Sin asked.

"I see you are as sharp as ever, I was afraid you had gotten soft living with all those beautiful girls" The woman smirked.

"I figured you would have me spied on" Sin sighed.

"As one of our greatest assets you don't possibly think we would've left you unsupervised" The woman chuckled.

"Not really any way let's get this little test of yours over with" Sin said removing a trick link in the chains he always wore on his pants causing the thick chains to break into four pieces he warped on piece around his each of his shins and another around each of his forearms before taking his fight stance. There was no sign of anything moving until Sin dodged a kicked aimed for his head. A dozen more kicks and punches came out of the shadows. Sin easily ducked or blocked every strike after almost a minute of avoiding he started to strike back every time he blocked he would return with a hard kick or punch most of his strikes carried enough power to drop whoever was unlucky enough to be on the receiving end. After just a few more minutes the underground garage was filled with pained groaning.

"As impressive as always" The woman clapped a few times.

"Do I ever disappointed" Sin said with a cocky smirk.

"No you never do…especially in the bedroom" the woman licked her lips.

"Well who was it that taught me everything I know" Sin grinned.

"You were a very eager and quick study not to mention my favorite student" The woman said her voice taking a sultry tone.

"I was your only student" Sin laughed.

"Well I don't think anyone else could've survived the training" The woman said pushing the suite case over and sliding it over to him with a flick of her heel.

"I don't doubt that" Sin picked up the suite case and opened it to see his usual payment.

"You know you could make so much more in the field" The woman sighed.

"I already told your father I'm done with that I just want a nice normal life" Sin sighed.

"But do you really…I know you Sin I've worked with you I've seen the look in your eyes on mission such an intense burning passion for your work it still sets me on fire thinking about it. That's why your taking all these little side jobs isn't it to try to get that rush again even if it's just a small one…face it you were meant for this life" The woman said seriously.

"I take these side jobs because I still need money for school and other things" Sin sighed.

"Like taking those cute little girls you live with out on dates" The woman laughed.
"Maybe so" Sin chuckled.

"Whatever you tell yourself to help you sleep at night Sin…but just so you know your place is always open. My father misses you and so do I and the others you'll always have us even if the world reject what you really are we will always be family" The woman said letting a bit of sadness into her voice.

"I know…tell your father I send my regards would you Talia" Sin said turning to leave.

"I will…please don't be a stranger I'm sure my father would like a visit from you even if it is unannounced" Talia smiled watching him walk away.

"I'll think about after all I don't think one of the most powerful men in the world would have time for so college kid" Sin waved disappearing into the darkness.

"We shall look forward to your visit…until then we shall be watching" Talia said disappearing into the darkness as well.

Sin mad his way out of the parking lot and back down the street after a 20 minute walk he made it to where he'd parked his bike throwing the suite case into his back pack her started the engine and headed back to the boarding house. It was about a 40 minute drive to get back home and by that time it was about 4pm so he was sure the girls had woken up and eaten. When he finally pulled up outside the boarding house and walked in the front door he felt like he'd just walked into an interrogation scene from some 90s movie all the girls were still there sitting on the couches looking at him as if he was some hard to figure out puzzle.

"Hey girls what's up" Sin grinned trying to break the tension.

"Go ahead and take a seat Sin we have some questions for you" Rose said with her fingers crossed. Sin took a seat of one of the kitchen chairs that had been moved into the living room with the obvious intent for him to sit on it.

"What's going on girls" He asked.

"We were gonna ask you the exact same thing…now how would you like to explain this" Dinah walked and sat Rose's laptop in front on Sin on the table so he could see the long list on school running down the page. Sin started to sweat as only one thought came to mind

'FUCK'

AN: Okay so yeah time to get the plot rolling with this story as you may have figured out this is gonna get very in depth. Each chapter is gonna leave you with more questions than the last for instance why the Hell would Sin be meeting with Talia, what kind of jobs is he doing for her, what kind of jobs did he use to do with her, and what is his connection with her father, not to mention how will the girls react to all of this. Who knows…I mean I know but I'm not telling you'll just have to keep reading and find out. As always don't be afraid to review and let me know what you think.
