Hidden Strengths

Robin was sitting in the cave doing his homework. It was all so easy except for the English homework. His teacher just did not seem to appreciate his affinity for prefixes and suffixes. Even Bruce thought they were funny and made sense and Bruce was the smartest person that he knew! And if he could make The Batman appreciate his word play, you would think that he could charm his teacher.

Sighing, he started his math homework. He was taking multivariable calculus, even though he personally thought that he could be in a higher class because it was just so easy. He was halfway done when the team entered the room. "Hey Rob! What are you up to?" Wally asked before zooming over to his friend.

Looking over his shoulder, Wally could not make out what his friend was doing. "What is that?"

Robin looked up with scrunched up eyebrows. "My math homework." He said slowly, unsure of what Wally did not comprehend. The guy might be a chemistry whiz, but he could be quite slow sometimes.

"Obviously. I meant that it looks really complicated. What kind of math is it?" Wally complained as he flopped into the chair beside his friend. Hearing Wally's remark, the rest of the team came to look at Robin's homework.

M'gann turned to Robin with her head cocked in confusion. "Robin, Superboy and I are in the same math class and we are older than you, yet we have yet to see this kind of math."

Robin scoffed. Seeing M'gann's hurt look, his face softened slightly. "Ms. M, I'm a certified genius, that has skipped quite a few grades, and am in the highest level math class offered at my school. This is still too easy for me, but I would have to go to a college class. And I don't have time for that. This math is very underwhelming."

Wally gave him a scrutinizing look before saying, "Not whelming?"

Robin returned the look before saying , "No not whelming but underwhelming."

Turning back to his homework, the team watched in amazement as he quickly scribbled answers to the remaining four problems. Seeing the questioning gazes he shrugged. "I did them in my head while we were talking." Shoveling his homework back into his bag he turned to the team. "I'm finished, does anyone want to do anything before the mighty Daddybats summons me back to Gotham?"

Receiving nods, he grabbed his bag to stash in his room. When he was gone, they turned to eachother. "He thinks that that is underwhelming? And he did it in his head? Are we sure that he does not have any superpowers?"
