Artemis found an isolated spot in the library, a temporary safe haven from the boy wonder. Their interactions had left her pride battered and bruised. Sportsmaster may have never spoiled his children, he demanded perfection after all, but the results were hard to argue with a perfect GPA and the ability to take down the entire wrestling team before her first training bra. Ra's had begun his little program of training the next generation in the last couple years it was how she could afford to go to such a nice school like The Melisande Academy of Grace when her parents were either in prison or on the run. Artemis had been proud to be the best in her extracurricular activities with the League of Shadows. Ra's approaching her was evidence of that fact. Yet in the last twenty four hours she had been shown up by the boy wonder. Robin's alter ego, Nix, was the talk of the school for her quirkiness amongst the staff and students. Correcting the teachers' pronunciation in Italian and his unparalleled knowledge of mathematics had made him the classes go to brainiac. 'Robin is just too damn perfect, the person who said there will always be someone better in the world must have been talking about the bird.'

Artemis cracked open her Chemistry book, her professor was an uptight old man that was known by the entire school for his harsh grading standards. She had been studying only for a few minutes when someone sat down setting a paper plate with a slice of pizza on the table. Artemis looked up at Robin then glanced towards the librarian in her office.

"You know there is a no food policy in the library"

"Eat, your mother made me promise to watch over you, to make sure you don't overdo it on studying and miss a meal like you always do."

Artemis noted that she actually was hungry; she glanced at the librarian who was still in the office before grabbing the slice. "Thanks" said Artemis after a few bites.

"That's alright just finish before the librarian catches on to us, Robin's eyes shifted around the room before he leaned back in the chair putting his feet on the table."

"Nix."

"Yes, Atalanta?"

"You're wearing a skirt."

It took Robin a minute to process the fact before sitting down properly

"Sorry."

"I'm just glad you're wearing spanks."

Robin pulled out a laptop, cracking his knuckles before typing away.

Artemis annoyance returned anew with each click of the keyboard preventing her from focusing on the material at hand. 'Couldn't he use one of the school computers, his typing is driving me nuts, wait?'

Artemis closed the book. "I thought you finished the homework in class."

"I did, but I still have homework from my civilian identity."

'That sucks I guess he's taking a leave from his real life.'

Artemis peaked over his shoulder to peak at his work and felt her brain freeze in an attempt to comprehend the equations "What is that?"

"Astrophysics."

'He was a gosh darn genius as well!' Artemis could no longer withstand the brilliance of such perfection "Watch my stuff I'm going to the water fountain for a drink."

Robin nodded returning his attention to the computer typing with gusto.

Artemis reached the fountain and took a quick drink before wandering off.

She felt the need to be alone.

Line break here

Dick had managed to keep his face straight when he showed Artemis the page on astrophysics, he may be a mathlete, but even he struggled with the more advanced aspects of physics. Wally was better at handling such calculations but then he had enhanced his ability to learn in the first place with recreating the flash's accident. Dick switched back to his paper on Much Ado About Nothing, lucky that he had read the play thanks to Bruce and Alfred's love of collecting first editions. When he was around Artemis, he had to ensure the reputation of Robin lived up to the urban legend.

Line break

Artemis kept putting one foot after another as she wandered around the school she passed classrooms filled with students staying late for extracurricular activities. Painting, sculpting, sports, music, the school even offered a Driver's Ed course. Artemis watched as a car swerved erratically through the parking lot abruptly stopping.

The door opens the instructor looks livid "Marika! You didn't even look at the drivers handbook did you?!"

"I swear I did" The petite girl called out as she chased after the teacher.

Artemis was about to leave when one of the girls made a statement.

'What's with the weird guy?'

"Karen I think he might be an otaku; look at the way his hair sticks up in weird ways defying gravity."

Artemis turned around and felt the air catch in her chest. 'That's no otaku that's Klarion the Witch Boy.'

She watched…debating what to do, sure Robin was amazing but even Ra's was careful when dealing and working with a Lord of Chaos.

The witch boy looked around scratching his head "Something is interfering with the spell it keeps leading right to this general area" The Cat meows caressing the lord of chaos's legs. "Interference Teekl!" he growled "Teekl, we'll show them how useless such things are?"

The witch boys facial features begin to twist, Artemis sees the glow in his eyes as the flames begins to cover his hands only for the person next to him grab his wrist.

"There is no need for chaos, the job is to find the girls whereabouts."

"I can bring the chaos." He muttered. "I'll find the girl an…."

"And call down the justice league while you make a scene looking for her? The companion was now in the lord's face.

"I'll force the girl to come forward."

"No, now that we know that the girl is hiding amongst the students, your job ends here."

The lord of Chaos looked hard at his companion sizing him up.

Bright blue eyes clashed with the infinite darkness in the eyes of the witch boy until finally Klarion looked away and sighed "okay, okay, your right."

Artemis let out a sigh of relief the witch boy's companion had just saved the school.

The companion turned towards Artemis noticing her for the first time, "Looks like we have a witness." He grabbed something from his pocket tossing it to the lord of Chaos "You know what to do." he walked away while the lord of chaos raised his arm it began to shine brightly.

"Tegrof gnihtyreve uoy tsuj was dna draeh"

A few Minutes Later

Artemis looked around confused…what was she doing?

"Atalanta" Artemis turned to see Robin walking over. So this is where you disappeared to."

Yeah, sorry, I just needed some fresh air?"

"Let's head back to the dorms I'm beat."

"Hey Nix?"

"Yes Atalanta."

"Can I copy your homework?"
