Surprisingly the teenager's educational exam went incredibly well. When Starla opened the results she was surprised to see there wasn't much missing in her education at all apart from math so she set about enrolling Scarlet into school into grade twelve and Jessie into day care with Bart.

Bart was thrilled he now had two sisters but was less than impressed with the women to men ratio in the house now.

On Scarlet's first day at Central City High School, Starla had her wait in the waiting room whilst she sorted out her enrollment. Sitting there flipping a coin in between her fingers, Scarlet noticed a girl sitting across from her watching her like she was fresh meat. Scarlet shifted in her seat, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear as she looked away. She could see the girl's image in the mirror just seconds before she vanished.

Scarlet's jaw dropped when the girl reappeared moments later. "That's awesome," she grinned, going to sit beside her.

The girl looked at her. "You know I totally did it to freak you out?" she asked.

"It helps when the person you're trying to freak out isn't a meta-human was well," Scarlet pointed out. She looked around the room, seeing that there was no one around, she winked at the printer and it started spitting out paper.

"Danielle Oscar," she smirked. "Friends call me Dani. What else can you do?"

"I'm telepathic and telekinetic," Scarlet told her. "You?"

"Energy manipulation," she answered. "I manipulate the energy around me to make me invisible. Shoot laser beams from my eyes, that's about it. Call me Supergirl and I'm gonna have to kill you."

Scarlet laughed. "Scarlet Lords," she smiled.

Dani moved in her chair so she was facing Scarlet. "Settle something for me, Psi," she spoke, "rumour is that you're Miss Lee's foster kid. True or false?"

Scarlet nodded. "True."

"Miss Oscar," Starla sighed, coming out of the office. "Trouble again?"

Dani rolled her eyes. "I'll have you know that I'm waiting for a pass to leave early, Miss Lee."

Starla handed Scarlet her timetable. "You have history first-I trust you'll attend your classes?" she frowned. "I don't need to be getting pulled aside and told you were skipping class."

Dani got up as the receptionist came out of the filing room. "See you in homeroom," she winked, walking off.

Starla sighed. "I need you to stay away from that girl," she warned her. "Dani marches to the beat of a very unstable drum." She handed Scarlet a piece of paper. "The cheer squad are looking for new members. Maybe you should try that?"

Scarlet cocked an eyebrow. "You're kidding right? I'd rather stab my eyes out with rusty spoons, thanks." She threw the paper in the trash. "Let me make my own fiends, Starla. Not fake friends who will sell me out the first chance that they get. Okay?"

"I'm just trying to help," Starla replied.

"Don't," Scarlet warned her. The girl turned and headed out just as the bell for home room rang. By the time she found where she was actually going, Dani was waiting for her out the front with a guy. "God this place is huge."

Dani laughed. "You act like you've never been to school before."

Scarlet shook her head. "I haven't actually. I had to sit a stupid educational exam before I could come but yeah. Who's that?" she asked, pointing to the boy with her.

"This is Leon," Dani told her, "he's my boyfriend. Leon this is Psi."

"Psi?" the two both asked.

"You called me that earlier," Scarlet frowned, taking a seat in the back of the classroom. "Why?"

"Well you're Psi," Dani answered, "I'm Lightwave and this is Pyro."

Leon shot her a look. "Dani!"

She rolled her eyes. "Relax tightwad, she's like us. So did Miss Lee warn you away from me?" Dani laughed.

She nodded. "Starla did try. She suggested I join the cheer squad."

Dani groaned. "Fake disease spreading skanks!" she snapped just a little loud so the fake disease spreading skanks could hear her.

A girl in a cheerleading outfit turned around. "Fuck off, weirdo.

"Original, Kelly!" Dani shot back. "Guess that's all you can come up with, lack of brain cells and all. I men hell, I shit out things smarter than your whole group of friends combined."

"Better watch your back, slut," she snapped.

Scarlet cocked her head to the side and winked, the chair fell out from underneath the girl Kelly.

Dani burst out laughing as Kelly picked herself up, super embarrassed. "No underwear. Who's the slut now?"

Scarlet sat back as the rest of the class piled inside. God it was so ordinary and strange that she wished she'd never made that agreement with Starla in the first place. A slight giggle formed on her face when she saw a kid wearing a shirt with the Flash lightning bolt on it.

"Class," the home room teacher called out, "we've a new student today, her name is Scarlet Lords, I want you to make her feel welcome. Stand up Scarlet. Tell us a little bit about yourself."

Scarlet groaned and stood up. "I'll make it simple," she spoke up. "Don't try and make friends with me and I won't try and make friends with you. I can see your little minds ticking over, judging based on what you can see, so I'll do you a favour and spare you the trouble of being my friend. I'll be gone in a year so I won't bother remembering any of you. As for any of the gossip you're looking at making or spreading, I'll save you the embarrassment of getting it pathetically wrong. I lived on the streets in Hell's Kitchen with bunch of other street kids and now myself and my sister Jessie are being fostered by Miss Lee." She sat back down, Leon and Dani clapping and laughing.

The teacher sighed. "Thank you for that, Scarlet…right…onto the roll."

"That was kick ass!" Leon laughed. "Nice to meet you Psi."

After school, Scarlet went to pick up Bart and Jessie from day care. Jessie had gotten into a fight with another children older then her and Bart had come to her rescue, both kids were being sent home with a letter to Starla and Barry.

When the three of them got back to the Allen-Lee house, Scarlet found that Barry was already home sitting at the table with a woman about the same age as Starla. Barry smiled when he saw her. "How was school?" he asked.

Scarlet shrugged. "Okay I guess. It's school. Got nothing else to compare it to. Bart and Jessie got into fight at day care."

The woman laughed. "That's my little speedster!"

"Auntie Charlie!" Bart shouted, running over to the woman who was obviously his aunt.

"Scarlet this is my sister Charlotte Allen," Barry introduced her, "Charlie this is Scarlet Lords and Jessie Thomas. We do family dinner on Tuesday when we can."

"Are Harley and Stella coming?" Bart asked. "It's been really, really long time since I saw them. Like forever."

"Pool," Charlie answered, motioning to the backyard.

"Jessie come put your swimmers on!" Bart laughed, grabbing Jessie's hand to drag her upstairs.

"Go join them," Barry told Scarlet. "Just be careful, the twins are hydrokinetic like their mother." He waited for Scarlet to go upstairs to change and turned back to his sister. "Superboy extended an invitation for her to join the YJL," he told her. "She's keeping it from Scarlet."

"Stupid," Charlie snorted. "The twins I told they can join when they're fifteen but they seem more interested in breaking the law and their father then anything."

"Yes," Barry muttered. "God I'll have to tell Starla that Jessie and Bart got into a fight," he sighed. "Bart's being acting out a lot. Has been since they arrived."

"He's a kid," Charlie shrugged, "a kid who never had siblings to spend time with apart from the trouble twosome out there. He's bound to get into trouble at some point. Despite how much of an angel we think our kids are. I mean we covered his little time travel episode didn't we?" She took a sip of her beer with a laugh and sat back listening to the kids play outside.
