Okay, I finally saw what Young Justice made the WatchTower look like, so basically forget anything and everything Sparrow has previously stated on its design, because that's all based of the Justice League Unlimited version and it's too different.

I don't like Barbara/Batgirl…like at all…so be warned, there will be some minor bashing going on there…

I don't own anything!

"Any news?" I questioned, strolling into the WatchTower.

"Hey kid," Flash greeted.

"Still no new development on how Star Labs got those chemicals into their possession," Aquaman informed.

I nodded and reclined in my spot. The League Council was seated around the U-shaped conference table. Batman was seated at the very middle (since he's the leader) while the main council sat immediately near him. Since I was 'technically' one of the original founders, regarding the fact that I had been present during the original alien invasion and when the seven council members agreed to form the League, I got to sit between Batman and Flash in the midst of the senior members…and by seniors I definitely meant that they've been with the League longer, not that they were old or anything…even though they kinda were…but you didn't hear that from me!

"Is it possible they know about the you-know-what?" I asked quietly. If whoever did know about the League's laser…well let's just say that that would not be a very asterous day.

"Possibly," Batman replied after a short pause.

"So…what would we do then?" I persisted.

"Destroy it," Superman suggested shortly.

"Oh," I said. "Simpler than I thought."

"Not all plans need to be elaborate," Aquaman stated.

"All fun plans though," I mumbled, resting my head on my hand.

The others laughed at that. It seems like the adults loved to make fun of younger people's antics. They've been doing that since I was five. It was getting, no, scratch that, it has been pretty annoying.

Rolling my eyes, I got up from my seat and went to go take my monitor shift. Staring blankly at the screen for about an hour, our deep-space scanner showed no signs of any alien invasions. Thank God, invasions were such a pain in the rear end.

"Good morning, Mistress Kairi," Alfred called as he opened my blinds.

I groaned into my pillow and pulled my sheets over my head. "Five more minutes, Alfred," I whined.

"You are not pulling that on me, Mistress Kairi," Alfred replied more sternly. I didn't respond. "Don't make me get the bucket," he threatened.

My eyes opened up immediately and I sat bolt upright. "Okay, okay, I'm up, I'm up!" I shouted, scrambling out of my tangle of sheets and leaping off the bed. Since the sheets were wrapped around my feet, I tripped on them and fell flat on my face. "I'm okay," I groaned, sitting up and rubbing my forehead.

I heard Alfred sigh. "I realize, Mistress Kairi, that this is your ritual for the first day of school, but most you always hurt yourself while getting out of bed?"

"Yes, now if you'll excuse me, I must get ready for school," I mumbled and Alfred turned to leave, an amused smile on his face.

Sighing, I got up and took a shower. Thinking back, this did happen to me every year. Alfred would wake me up, I would try to stay in bed, he would force me to get up, and as I was getting ready, I would hurt myself. Handling the world's number one villains: piece of cake. Performing everyday procedures: not so much.

I changed into my Gotham Academy uniform: a navy blue too short skirt, white collared shirt, navy blazer with the red and yellow school emblem (I was one of the few girls that wore that instead of the sweater vest), red tie, black Mary Jane shoes (bleh!), and a thin red headband to hold my bangs back (I usually wore it to make sure I didn't look too much like Sparrow and instead looked like a billionaire's daughter). With Artemis going to our school, Dick and I would have to be a bit more careful…like we would, though.

Grabbing my navy knapsack-styled bookbag, I rushed through the hall and down the staircase. "Morning Bruce," I called, grabbing an apple and sitting beside him at the counter. "Morning Dick," I continued as he joined us.

Alfred served us eggs, bacon, and toast. After eating, Dick and I bid our farewells, deciding to walk to school.

Gotham Academy was located in the better part of Gotham and was only two miles from Wayne Manor. Typically, we would stop by Commissioner Gordon's house to pick Barbara up, but her mom always liked to drive her on the first day.

"I can't believe Artemis is going to our school," I thought out loud.

Dick laughed, not his creepy Robin laugh, but his softer 'circus-turned-rich-kid' laugh. "Yeah," he agreed. "Bruce said we'll have to be more careful now."

We shared a serious look before we burst out laughing. "Yeah, right," I mumbled.

It took us 25 minutes to get to school, mostly because it was nice out and we decided to not rush. The school had always reminded me of a modern day castle, with small spires and everything. It was our first year at the school, even though technically we both should still be at Gotham Middle (Bruce had gotten us to take a test so we could skip a grade and be in the same class as Barbara).

"Kairi!" I heard a familiar voice call right before one of my closest friends barreled into me and lifted me up in a bear hug.

"Hey, Susie," I managed to gasp out. As soon as she had picked me up, she dropped me and hugged Dick.

Susie McLeary had ginger hair with dark emerald green eyes. She was the chubbiest kid in school, but she was also one of the kindest that got along with anyone (as long as they gave her a chance). I had been friends with her since the third grade, when I started going to a private school instead of home schooling.

"How was your guys' summer?" Susie gushed excitedly. Being from a moderately rich Irish family, she always spent the summer over in Ireland, so we only got to hang out during the school year.

"Pretty good," I told her, smirking as she walked alongside the two of us.

"What about yours?" Dick asked.

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Same old, same old," she grinned. "This year my cousin, Adam, 'accidently' dumped a bucket of Scottish beer on my Grandda'," Susie laughed and I couldn't help but join in her infectious chuckle.

"Was he drunk for the rest of the summer? From what you say, he can't hold his alcohol for his life," a deeper voice replied from behind.

"Sadly, yes, he was rather loony the rest of the time, Jayden," Susie grinned at the male brunette behind us.

"Hey," he smiled.

"Sup' Jayden," I hugged him.

Jayden Greenwood was a shy nerd with a secretly chaotic and pranking side. His brown hair was shaggy and his eyes were the color of dark chocolate. In sixth grade, Dick and I had stood up for him against some bullies. After we talked to him, he suggested we prank the bullies. Dick and I were all too happy to comply. Ever since then we had worked on devising devious plans against teachers and students we disliked, sometimes actually following through with them.

"Anyone seen Ethan?" Barbara asked as the red head came up to join us. "We have first period in Mrs. Craley's and I was hoping we could walk to class together."

"No idea," Dick said and I shrugged.

We had made our way to the main commons, and I had my legs folded under me as I sat on top of a picnic table. Dick was beside me on the table while Susie and Jayden were seated on the actually seats.

"We'll help you look though," Susie suggested, getting up.

Standing up, I jumped onto the bench before hopping onto the ground. I was about to follow the others and find Ethan when I noticed a familiar face at the corner of my eye. Turning to look at her, I made sure it was actually Artemis.

Smirking, I reached up and tugged on Dick's sleeve. "New girl," I informed him.

He looked back and shared my smirk. "Shall we be friendly?" he asked, indicating the camera on his phone.

"We shall," I replied deviously.

Hurrying over to the archer, I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and stepped up to her right side while Dick came up on her left.

"We'll laugh about this someday," Dick smirked, holding up his phone to take a picture.

Right at the last second, I stuck up a peace sign and stuck out my tongue. Once the flash went off, Dick and I hurried off back to our friends, laughing the entire way.

"Dick," Barbara started. "What was that about?" she asked in an accusing tone.

As much as I considered Barbara my friend, her flirty, and slightly obsessed, behavior over Dick grated the ends of my nerves every single day. That and the fact that whenever he was around she completely ignored Susie, Jayden, Ethan, and me.

"Nothing, Barbara. Just being friendly to the new girl," Dick assured her.

She stormed off…as always.

The first bell rang and we made our way through the throng of high-schoolers and to our first periods.

This was a relatively long chappie! Yay! I'm just going to say that Jayden and Susie are based on some of ma peeps! So yeah!
