"What do you have to say for yourself Miss Foxx?" Nero slammed his hands on Karen's desk. Karen scoffed in a mocking way and turned her head to the side, avoiding his gaze. Nero kept a straight face but in reality he was losing his patience.

Meanwhile, the Fabulous Four and Elizabeth stood outside Nero's classroom, peeking in through a crack in the door. They couldn't hear the conversation though.

"Damn it, Karen, it's the second day and you're already in trouble," Elizabeth muttered. Shelby rolled her eyes. "Has Karen always been the one to get in trouble like that?" She sneaked a peak through the crack to see Nero speaking and Karen refusing to say anything back. Earlier that day in his class, Karen had made an open disrespectful joke about Nero which made him severely angry, therefore he told her to stay after class.

"Yeah…her parents usually try to keep her out of trouble but they can never actually do that…" Elizabeth sighed heavily. "She always finds a way to get into trouble, she's worse than me and I'm more insane than she is!"

Back in the room, Nero was getting irritated at his student's lack of cooperation. Nero glared at the brunette sitting in her desk.

"You do realize you have three more minutes to get to your next class right?"

"Yeah I know that," Karen met his glance. "I'll tell the Colonel you were lecturing me and I was late because of you."

"Watch your mouth Foxx," Nero snapped. "You're getting on my last nerves and it's only your second day."

"I don't mean to point this out but I think you're enjoying this," Karen smirked. "This is probably the first time someone's ever talked back to you."

Nero chuckled darkly. "That may be true Foxx," he said and walked over to his desk where he started to shuffle papers. "You may go."

Karen nodded and, swinging her backpack over her shoulder walked for the door. Before she could walk out however…

"I'm the last person you want to mess with Foxx," Nero said in a deadly tone. Karen stopped dead in her tracks and smirked. She didn't bother to face him. "Nah," she chuckled evilly. "You're the first." Karen walked out of the classroom, leaving Nero to his thoughts.

"What did he tell you?" Laura asked as they walked to the Colonel's class. Karen shrugged. "He just lectured me, that's all," Karen shrugged off the thought.

"Ah, the new Alphas, ja," said a German-twisted voice from behind them. They all turned to see a fat, stubby boy and a timid-looking bald kid standing next to him. Both Elizabeth and Karen raised an eyebrow but Otto smiled. "Hey guys!"

"Who are you people?" Elizabeth questioned. The fat boy smiled sweetly. "I am Franz Argentblum; my English isn't very good, so please bear with me ja."

"And I'm Nigel Darkdoom, nice to meet you," the bald kid, Nigel, waved shyly.

Elizabeth and Karen nodded happily. They all walked together to Colonel Francisco's class, where they lined up military style.

"Listen up maggots!" the Colonel bellowed. "Today's lesson is physical endurance; which means I'm going to be working you maggots until you collapse, do I make myself clear?"

"Yes sir!"

Meanwhile, Nero sat in his office, watching the young Alphas get screamed at by the Colonel.

"You seem to take an interest in Miss Foxx," a voice said. Nero chuckled. "Probably," the dark haired man turned to the crazy Professor standing before him along with Raven. "She's quite the troublemaker, I'll give you that."

"She's keeping you on your toes, isn't she?" Raven asked. Nero nodded. "Yes, and it's only the second day…"

"And what's left!" Pike laughed. "I've grown fond of Miss Sparrow; she has a really remarkable mind for technology and science; like yours truly." He fixed his bowtie arrogantly; he has the habit of doing so.

"That's very true Pike," Nero said. "She seems to be your double in the world of technology." Nero glanced at the computer screen again. "I see a lot of myself in Foxx when I was her age,"

"When exactly were you that age…?" Raven muttered under her breathe, but Nero's head perked up. "Did you say something Natalya?"

"No Max," she quickly lied.

"You guys are tired already?" Karen turned to the Fabulous Four and Elizabeth, who were gasping furiously because of the ten laps they had run just now. Out of the whole class, Wing and Karen were the only students not breathing their lungs out or sweating like pigs.

"Of course we are!" Otto complained. "You guys are stamina freaks!"

"Alright maggots; now we're going to rock climb!" Colonel Francisco yelled. No one bothered to groan like in regular schools and just took the order. Franz was first; apparently the Colonel likes to see fat boys in pain.

"Hey Wing," Karen nudged him with her elbow. He looked down at her snickering face. "What is it?" he whispered softly.

"If he falls, the volcano will erupt." Karen laughed silently. Wing stood silently for a few seconds, soaking in what she had told him. He then chuckled. "Nice one,"

"You find something funny maggot?" the Colonel neared Wing's face. Wing's expression changed to a serious one in a blink of an eye. "No sir," Wing stared at the Colonel until he huffed and walked away. Wing nudged Karen for getting him in trouble, making her almost lose her balance and she nudged him back, but barely made him move from his standing position.

"Is this a daily thing…?" Elizabeth asked Otto. The albino teen smiled weakly. "I hope not," he shrugged. "I'm guessing its karma; I get to sleep now and because of that, I get exercise, in which I'm not fond of…"

"Me neither, I hate P.E.," Elizabeth watched Franz get yelled at by the Colonel because he chickened out.

It was lunchtime. Everyone was calmly sitting at the table, except Karen and Elizabeth who were getting seconds on dessert.

"Lookie here!" said Block, staring right at Nigel and Franz. They shuddered in fear. Tackle laughed. "They look so scared!" he showed his fist. "Let's beat 'em up!"

"Yeah let's—" Block was interrupted when he saw Karen and Elizabeth walking back to the table. Both henchmen went white at the sight of Karen; and they gave her their best crooked expression when she arrived at the lunch table.

"What are your asses doing at this table?" Karen said and turned to them. "Get out of here."

"Yeah, go lick some ovaries!" Elizabeth inquired. The henchmen nodded dutifully and speed-walked away. The girls sat down and began to eat. Otto laughed. "They're scared of you now!"

"Really, what did I do?" Elizabeth blinked. Laura smiled. "No, he meant Karen,"

"Oh…" Elizabeth sulked in the corner. "No one's ever scared of me…"

"No one's ever scared of me either," Otto smirked, "but I make them eat dirt when they underestimate me."

"Evil; I like that," Elizabeth smirked along with Otto. Karen rolled her eyes and merely continued eating.
