Authors Note: Thanks for the Reviews! They really do mean a lot to me and believe me I am updating as quickly as I can, Jee I do feel bad for not updating quicker though because i've been sick for the past week, anyway hopefully the next couple of updates will be quicker.

I've had parts of this little story concoction floating around in my head for a few months with very little justification for putting them in any of the chapters but you asked for badass Cammie and luckily these little nuggets could be just what you're asking for!

WARNING TO ALL ZAMMIE SHIPPERS! NON RELATED ZACH THOUGHTS ARE TO BE IN THIS CHAPTER!

Disclaimer: I didn't own this story. I still don't own this story! No one can replace the books. (Very weird choice on Gallagher Girl quote i know. misquoted anyway. probably isn't remembered by anyone just popped in my head...anywho!)

Chapter. 7 - Gallagher Girls, Circle Legacies and Crash mats (What could go wrong?)

Step 1. Ignore all times on stupid new time table. Cam told herself as an alarm pierced through her peaceful slumber. She had been up way to late the night before for her first day at a spy school. Even if the being up late had been vital for working out an escape plan and the said first day of spy school was one she was defiantly not looking forward to.

None the less she couldn't deny she was a little curious as to what it would be like even if it was owned, taught and run by people she despised more than people showing emotion. Not like her training at the Circle surely. With that thought she was overwhelmed with homesickness and curled tighter in her covers. She missed the gyms and control rooms. The rocky walls. She missed Catherine and Martin. Fuck, Martin. She mentally cursed as she remembered the last time she had seen him. She had never even said goodbye...or sorry. Or perhaps that she had wanted to kiss him ,deep down. But feelings weren't for Spies or Assassins and certainly weren't acceptable in the Circle so it was probably for the best.

Heck she even missed Dr. Steve she thought trying to distract herself from him. Sanders was Martins mentor though, so she couldn't help but remember the running banter between them about whether to take the last name of their mentors. Martin Timothy Goode, Martin Timothy Sanders, Martin Timothy Abrams; She thought Abrams sounded better anyway, she didn't know what he was always kicking up a fuss about...Mrs Cammie Abrams...The title floated into her head and was immediately pushed out with a Woah! Don't open that door!..jeez...What brought that on?! Her unsettling thoughts were broken with voices around her.

"Is she still asleep?" She heard Macey half whisper as bed springs creaked.

"I don't know," Another voice said, one Cameron thought belonged to Bex. "She might have died!" The same voice exclaimed hopefully.Yep, Cam clarified to herself. Defiantly Baxter.

"Shouldn't we wake her?" A soft and sweet and southern voice pipped up. "For breakfast."

"Wouldn't really mind if she starved to death either." Baxter said keeping her voice at normal volume despite the others efforts to keep the very much awake agent asleep.

"Bex give her a chance!" Macey said fairly even with a slight edge of reluctance. "You heard what they said. If we want to get the old Cammie back we've got to try and undo whatever the Circle did to her."

"Problem is I didn't know 'Old Cammie' so I have nothing to put in effort for." said Baxter as Cam could hear the brushing of hair.

" The Morgans knew old Cammie. The Solomons knew old Cammie. Your Parents knew old Cammie." McHenry rattled of like that would change her mind.

"You don't get it do you? How am I the only one who can see that whatever old Cammie" She put air quotes around the name they had all been using. "Was, she's part of them now! Those sick people! The Circle of Cavan they -!"

"Who you've only known about for less than a month." Liz pointed out.

"I don't care! I've heard enough! I've seen enough!" Baxter sighed. "That is bad news." She said and Cam could feel Bex pointing at her. That?! Cameron thought and mentally reminded herself to kick Baxter's ass later.

"But Mr. Morgan and Mr. Solomon put and end to the Circle didn't they? At least that's what Mrs. Solomon said..." Liz asked sounding naive even if the question itself wasn't exactly pointless.

"Yes Liz but just because something finished doesn't mean it's over." McHenry said and Cam could have hugged her in that moment, that is what she had been telling herself ever since that British bafoon had told her what her superiors back at headquarters had not.

"I'm hungry and Krissy probably has all the good waffles by now anyway." Bex said changing the subject abruptly, a few seconds later Cam heard the door slam shut. She lay in bed trying to organise her thoughts for a few minutes, even if that was the only thing she had been able to do here. Eventually she fell into a hectic dream filled sleep.

An hour later she woke back up without a sign of doing so like she always did. Her movements were natural for anybody still sleeping, a natural at blending in and pretending even when she was too tired to tie her shoe laces Catherine used to say. With that thought she suppressed a small smile that was abandoned when her senses shot up moments before a voice said,

"I know your awake."

Her eyes flung open and she immediately turned herself into Circle mode. Yanking her covers up and sending her legs flying in the direction of the voice. she heard a nose crunch and the force of the kick gave her a chance to swing her legs around the back of whoever occupied the chair she kicked away before he could do anything - it was a he - granted Cam could only see the back of his head but she knew who it was as soon as the first word had left his mouth. He tried to counter her next move but they ended up on the floor as Cam reached up for a lamp she knew would be there due to her memorizing the room at first glance.

The lamp hit its mark and he moaned.

"Did that answer your little question Goode?" she said getting off of him.

"You remembered my name?" He winced trying to sound fake flattered but Cameron just hit him hard with the lamp again making him roll to face her in pain as he held the back of his head.

"Jeez, Ms. Cavan is it your period or something?!"

"Are you on your period when you're on some assignment and have to knock out a guard." Cam glared at him and went to land the lamp on his skull again but as he lifted his hands to block the blow she kicked him in the groin.

"Ow! Jesus...Okay, yes. It does answer my question because as much as I would her; My mom would never attack me like that for no reason. Awfully offended that you only see as an equivalent to a guard." Zach said as if he'd rather have it the other way anyway.

"Oh I had plenty of reason. You see where I come from watching someone sleep is on the list of 'okay to attack' and if you don't want to be seen as a guard maybe you shouldn't loiter around the academy passageways." She spat and pressed her foot down on the side of his face.

"Like it or not we come from the same place and I don't know what they told you but people walking in whilst someone is sleeping isn't exactly their top priority."

"Don't pretend your one of us!" Cam almost yelled as she pushed harder with her foot so he could hardly talk and she couldn't see his face.

"Didn't pretend. I don't want to be one of you. Quiet happy here," he said and as Cammie started to compact his face into the ground further he added, "Okay so maybe not right here." She removed her foot and glared down at him.

"Why are you here?! Don't you have a school to go to?! And is it just me you watch sleep? Or does everyone have the pleasure?" She asked bitterly.

"This is my school now and it's just you. It's not everyday an ex-Morgan-that-became-a-crazy-circle-physcopath comes back home."

"I like the ex-Morgan...you better keep it Gallagher boy."

"Gallagher boy? Original." He commented dryly.

"And Ms. Cavan isn't? Are you going to get up or should I just kill you now?" She countered, Zach winced and sat up before she could hit him again.

"I went to Blackthorne. You could try to kill me but I'm afraid that wouldn't work out." He said slightly out of breath with Cameron's foot print still on the side of his face.

"I'm not scared of a boy from a petty little school for assassins that couldn't cope so moved here instead." she looked around the room like the very sight made her want to puke. Zach rolled his eyes and stood up completely.

"Look..I know you hate everyone here and are probably plotting all our murders right now but give it a chance, they have some useful lessons...even Madame Dabney."He said like he was tired of saying it despite never having uttered the words before.

"I don't know or care who that is but no way am I listening to you." She said and cut him a scowl "Shouldn't you be in class?!" She remarked.

"Shouldn't you be in class? first day of school ,right?" He pointed out.

"I'd be worried that anybody ever let you hold a gun if you think I want to be Gallagher's next honour role student. What are you doing here anyway?!" She demanded as an afterthought.

"Wanted to see if you were worth the trouble everybody seems to be going to, if it was possible to get whatever you used to be back." He replied simply.

"And?!" She asked like she didn't care.

Zach rubbed the side of his face that she had trodden on before sighing and saying "It's a long shot." He checked his watch "Not that I care...CoveOps!" He exclaimed and bumped past her and out of the room. Cam through the lamp at the door as she tried to figure out whether what he had said was good or not.

Cameron finally made her way down stairs at a quarter to twelve when the halls were all but empty and any Gallagher Girls on erands were too scared to confront her. Although the school in general didn't know all the facts (besides Krissy, Bex, Macey and Liz. Who had no part in the rumours) word had spread like wild fire and pretty much every student knew she was a Morgan, and that she was bad news.

Countries of the World, room 89. She should have been there an hour ago and walking down the silent halls she heard snippets of each lecture and took great joy in correcting the teachers on their 'facts' in her head. Most of these things however were for the most succesful Circle missions that they weren't blamed for, and everything else they said was disappointingly accurate and although she will never admit it, she may have learned a few things that day.

Reaching the foyer she heard the clinking of metal and smell of food coming from the dinner hall and she remembered how long it had been since she last had a decent meal. She searched the buffet for something, anything. But then she found she couldn't chose anything she was certain wasn't poisoned.

"Miss!" a heavily accented voice called through the kitchen, she glanced up with a look Chef Louis should have recoiled under but he just took a small weary step back as Cammie continued to glare. "Lunch...it's not ready yet. Perhaps if you could go back to class although i don't believe anybody has ever been let of earl..earl..early." He falterd of at the sharpened look on the noticeably new students face as her hand clenched around an apple. Chef Louis new enough to know that she could have probably killed him with that fruit so he started to back away slowly.

Cam's expression suddenly softened and she took a step away with a devious smile that turned into a laugh as the Chef tried to decide whether the laugh was better than the look. As she took her second step away and went to bite the apple Chef Louis let out a releaved sigh only to be hit hard with the red sphere Cameron had chucked at him in the last second, for no reason but the crest on his jacket.

Students could be heard spilling into the corridors and the first few students were making their way towards her, signs that it was now in fact lunch time. Which was Cammie's que to leave.

...

"Ms Baxter! Ms McHenry! Ms Solomon!" Joe Solomon stood by the doors to the dinning hall as he called over three of his students from the opposite end of the foyer.

"Yes Sir." Bex said as she was the first to reach him with Krissy and Macey close behind her.

"Update on Ms. Morgan." He asked without it sounding like a question.

"Liz heard her sneaking out last night but when we went to follow we lost her after a few corridors...she's..." Bex started but faltered not wanting to admit it.

"She's good...Better than us that is" Macey finished and their teacher nodded like he knew more than they did...which, well, he did.

"She came back after a few hours...I want to know why she would chose to stay? If she was that good." Macey finished half hopeing she had changed back without them.

"She had a little run in with Zach, I'm fairly certain he isn't helping matters. I'll have to talk to him about that." he said looking around as if the only male Gallagher attendee was going to jump down from the ceiling...Something he had done on frequent occasions since he had left Blackthorne.

"She missed lessons this morning too. Something tells me she didn't over sleep on accident." Krissy added wanting to say something at least a little helpful.

"I didn't exactly expect her to make the regular effort." Solomon noted and before anyone could say anything further Cam took a step forward next to her new teacher, all of them more than a little shocked nobody had seen her.

"Didn't anybody ever tell you it's rude to talk about someone behind their back?" She asked as the students gaped at her and she turned to Solomon, faining confusion.

"That's the second time I've walked up on Joe Solomon without him noticing...I forget why I ever thought you were good at this." The teacher himself stood without a change in expression but the three students glared at her like she finally crossed some imaginary line.

"Hey!" Krissy was the first to recover from shock. Because an insult directed at Joe Solomon was simply not heard in the halls of the Gallagher Academy. "That's my Dad!"

"I'm aware of that Kristina, but that really doesn't change the fact he's a massive fail." She sounded just like Catherine and didn't even flinch as Krissy dived at her only to be stopped by her fathers arm.

"Ms. Solomon!" He spoke like she was just another student, how they normally worked in school hours, but she glared at him like this time he was being ridiculous. He stared her down until she stepped back, still looking stern.

"I believe Mrs. Solomon is looking for you. Something about a stain on your last good skirt." He spoke as if it was the single most important spy related thing she would ever hear and from the look on her face you would have almost believed it.

"No! No! No! No! No! I was so careful!" And with that distraction she was gone. Bex and Macey still shot daggers, but Cam let out a laugh as a way of showing how scared she was.

"Ladies..." Solomon warned and they slowly backed away, As the teacher left however Bex looked back and mouthed the letters 'P&E'

For her first spying lesson it wasn't a bad one. With the Circle she had always gone to the gym if she had a spare moment and the smell of damp wood around her gave of the same sent that belonged to parts of the Mountain. Cam decided it was better here, at least for this, where she could hurt people she really wanted to.

All students were told to pair up and Bex and Cameron met on a mat near the middle.

"Sure You want to do this?" Baxter laughed. Cameron merely laughed. "I'm kind of unbeaten."

"What makes you think I am?" Cam countered.

Without another word Bex ducked down and sent her head into Cameron's stomach trying to flip her on her back but Cam caught her opponent at the legs and brought her down with her. Bex let out a noise somewhat like a lion and tried choking her with her thighs. Digging her nails into Baxter's legs she escaped and they both swiftly got up to face each other. Without wasting time Cam placed a punch in the center of the Gallagher Girls face causing blood to gush out, she tried to knock Baxter down but Bex pulled at her hair causing her to cry out it in pain. She kicked at her feet but to no avail.

By then most students had stopped to watch the fight unfold, and if they weren't they surly did when Bex started dragging Cam by the hair across the barn as she cried out in pain. They had made there way to Tina Walters and Anna Fetterman's mat by the wall when Cameron stopped pretending to weep and punched Baxter in the stomach making her stagger back. She hadn't been able to feel anything in her head for years.

Before Bex could catch her bearings Cameron tackled her again and landed more well placed punches. Baxter caught her last two fists with her hands and bit down on her fingers until Cam yelled and she drew blood. Bex rolled over so she was dominant and tried strangling her again. The teacher yelled for time out but Cam shot her knee upwards winding her opponent again. Both Ignoring the crowd around them.

Cam dragged Bex up and slammed her against the nearest wall, bending her arm up in an impossible angle. More shouts for them to stop. She let go and Baxter dropped to the floor. She turned around,like it was over. But before she was to far gone Bex kicked out only making her stumble and get angrier. Cam kicked her in the stomach hard and stormed away before anybody could say anything.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw Zach up in the rafts, where she doubted anyone had seen him. She glared as if to say Convinced I'm not a Gallagher Girl yet?

He just sent her the smile she had come to hate and shrugged. Not quite.

She continued out into the rain even angrier. She wanted to go home, and she hated how childish that made her sound. But her list of enemies here was to long to give up the chance.

Now two people are mad me...And by that unrelated Starkid quote I mean now I have completely cocked up two of Cammie's strongest relationships from the original books, but it's all part of the fun! for me anyway... I realise that Chapter wasn't exactly exciting but the next chapter is getting into the important bits and I've got three Zammie moments planned ahead.

WARNING: I cannot promise a Zammie ever after for this series (OR CAN I?!) but there will be a lot of it (OR WILL THEIR?!)

Please Review! This story has now got the most out of everything I've written and I'd really like it if this Chapter got me into the 30's...or Higher! Hey! Tell your friends! just drop a line it could be anything! Not even relevent... your favourite word...or letter...or peice of punctuation, i don't know...
