If you read the original Code Revenge back like 3-4 years ago welcome back! If you are now reading it for the first time, welcome! I hope this story finds you well! I'm going to be focused on Morgan until her story is completely told now. The last time I got up to 28 chapters before giving up for a while, and I wasn't even close to done at that point, so buckle up everyone.

This character and this story have been my children for 6 years, now. I hope you will learn to love and hate Morgan as much as I do.

Morgan's POV

Stage one, observation. This was the most crucial step to any plan, especially if you did not quite have a plan figured out. I wanted to orchestrate a glorious revenge scheme, but I could not if I did not know anything about them personally. To learn about them personally I would have to observe them in their natural environment. In order to do that with the most efficiency, I would need a powerful computer to work with. To do that-

GOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE, TODAY IS-

I sent an impulse to the radio and the voice stopped.

I had been up all night, thinking. This was, of course, because I physiologically could not sleep. I could go into sleep mode, but it was a waste of time. Besides, the one time I tried that, I had hallucinations of this black haired woman surrounded by droning men in suits all closing in. Xana told me to forget it.

Well, anyways, it was time to start the day. I still had to act the part of a student, after all.

I got up from the desk. I could sense that about 5% of my energy had been depleted, just staying idle. That...was not good. The Supercomputer was offline, so I could not draw energy from that. Burning food and absorbing energy from electrical outlets would only provide marginal relief. I had a lot of backup power, thanks to my father, but the fact remained that I needed to get the Supercomputer back online as soon as possible. In the mean time I just had to do some things to preserve power, like go into sleep mode at night, perhaps.

Time for the routines of the morning. The small details are what made or broke a performance. I left my room in a bathrobe and walked swiftly down the hall. The showers were...down the hall and to the left, according to the map. Ah, yes, there it was. I entered the room and it was...largely empty. Did I wake up too early? The time was 5 am.

I shrugged. This just meant I would not have to interact with other people. I could interact well, but I didn't want to if I didn't have to.

I separated the energy of my body which made up my clothing and set it by the showers. I turned on the shower and let the water stream through my hair and down my back. My form could become more solid or gaseous at will, depending on how densely I packed what little material my body was made of. In this way I could be as hard as a diamond on the outside, but completely hollow inside, by the same token I would become a large, but thin, cloud of electrical gas. I alternated between the two, letting the water fall through me and against me. It all made different sounds...

The door opened, and a girl walked in. She was smiling and had her eyes closed, evidently in some sort of zen mode. Then she noticed the sound of the shower. I immediately took on the surface density typical of a human body. Her shoulders slumped and her smile disappeared.

"Ok, who's the wise guy that left the water running?" the girl was about ready to turn the corner to turn off the water.

"I did."

My voice seemed to shock her.

"And who are you?" she asked.

"Sissi."

Sissi...I checked my memory. Elizabeth Delmas. Daughter of Jean-Pierre Delmas, headmaster of Kadic Academy. The first human possession my father had done. She was known to be irritating, but not a major threat or even a major obstacle.

I stopped the water, put a towel on, and met her outside he shower.

"Morgan Xanthos. I arrived yesterday, in the late afternoon. It is a pleasure to meet you." I held out my hand for a handshake, she took it and gave an insincere smile.

"The pleasure's all mine...Now, let's go over a few rules, hm?" Sissi said, she went over to a mirror and started to brush her hair. "Rule one, things go my way around here. Rule two this bathroom is mine until at least 6:30 in the morning. Beauty like mine takes time to accomplish, and privacy. Rule three, stay away from Ulrich Stern, he's mine."

"Ulrich Stern is in a relationship with you?" I asked. I was certain that Ulrich and Yumi were more likely to be in a relationship.

"Well...not yet. But once he sees this new look-"

"I have no interest in a man with no taste."

I dropped the proverbial mic, and left the bathroom.

I went back into my dorm. Still, nobody was up. Classes weren't for another couple hours. There was nothing productive I could do. I could not afford to waste energy being idle as long as I was not connected to the Supercomputer. There was something I wanted to do that evening that would require a sizable amount of energy. I had enough to sustain myself plus the equivalent of three...maybe four activated towers, depending on how complicated the attack was. I did not know how long it would be until I got a good power source. I had to save wherever possible...so, no rampaging through the streets of Paris, killing everyone I could find.

Not yet anyways...it was a rather tempting idea.

I put myself into sleep mode and set an alarm to go off at 7 am, enough time for me to eat breakfast and get to class.

"WAKE UP!"

I sat bolt upright.

"Late on your first day of class, miss Xanthos. You aughta be ashamed! I'll let you off with a warning this time, young lady, but move it! First hour's already half over. Come on, move it!"

"Calm down...I am getting up." I glared sidelong at Jim. He inhaled as though he were about to protest my attitude, but then backed off. I got up, already dressed, and walked out of my room. Jim followed me out and closed the door.

I had those hallucinations again...I tried to recall what exactly happened in it. Something with shadows and heartbeat...and that woman again. Why could I not recall what I had seen? My memory was perfect.

"You know, Morgan. I look forward to learning more about you. I might be a gym teacher, but I also consider myself a mentor, and a friend. You see, this one time when I was in high school-"

"If it is all the same to you, Mr. Morales. I would like to get to class in peace." I cut him off.

"Right, right...Well, stay out of trouble."

I was already gone.

First class today: Physics. Physics with all the Lyoko Warriors, save for Yumi and William.

Fantastic.

Well, no, sarcasm aside, this was fantastic. Although being in the proximity of the Lyoko Warriors irritated me, this was a great place to start observing them in their natural habitat. Odd was drawing, Ulrich looked out the window, Jeremie looked down at his paper, automatically taking notes. His thoughts were likely on something else. Aelita was the only one actually paying attention to the teacher.

"Why are you interrupting my class?!" The teacher...Suzanne Hertz, snapped at me.

"I am new. I overslept."

"Well...if that is the case, make sure not to do it again. Introduce yourself and take a seat. You will have to get the notes from one of your classmates."

I introduced myself simply as Morgan Xanthos, and took the only available seat...right next to Jeremie Belpois.

Well...he would be close if I wanted to electrocute him...but I still did not like being next to the boy who took...everything...from me.

I swallowed my anger. It was unbelievably easy for me to wear the facade of a normal human student. This was what I had been training for my entire life. I paid attention and wrote down everything Hertz said while observing the Warriors in the periphery. Classes were designed to teach people new information, correct? The teacher just kept talking about y=mx+b. I knew that sort of thing as soon as I was created. Just how stupid was the general human population?

That class passed, and then another, and another. They were all the same, all boring. Humans sitting all around me. It was all to keep up appearances, all for observation. It would pay off later. Still, this seemed like a waste of my time. The one interesting class I did have was history. The class was discussing different wars all over the world. It seemed there was not a single point in history that humanity was not in some war or another. Why did humans kill each other? Why did Xana want me to destroy their kind if they were already destroying each other?

Not that I questioned my father...it was just a little strange.

History ended too, and it was lunch time.

I walked across the courtyard on the way to the cafeteria. I could feel everyone looking at me. Some said hushed comments about the strange new girl. Some said some very good things, and some said bad things. Apparently word of my confrontation with Sissi had gotten around. Some kid even dared to say something to my face. Some nerdy kid with glasses and pimples.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing going after Sissi like that?! And what's with that getup, huh?! Are you goth or something?"

The nearby vending machine short circuited and shocked him...oops.

"Stupid vending machine!" He cursed. He turned around and kicked the vending machine hard. "Ow ow ow!" He hopped around, his right foot in pain. I smirked.

"I would appreciate it if you did not use such demeaning labels or stereotypes."

As I walked I could feel every single pair of eyes on me. All those warm bodies...all those beating hearts. I looked like them, superficially, but how was I ever supposed to blend in with them. I was a strange girl in a strange land, and at that moment, I came to the only logical conclusion.

I was alone.
