Kallie looked around the picnic tables in the garden for any sign of Bruce when she saw Sienna waving from what was obviously the popular table under a beautiful gazebo. Not seeing Bruce anywhere, and having been unable to find him inside, she shrugged and headed for the group of flawless young people.

Sighing she plastered on yet another fake smile on her face as she thought darkly, 'I guess I might as well stick with the sharks for now.'

Stepping gingerly onto the polished oak floor boards she gave a shy smile and said, "Um, hi. I'm Kallie." She gave a slight curtsey before flushing like a tomato in embarrassment.

Sienna just chuckled as if people curtsied before her every day. Smiling serenely she said to those around her, "Those are real manners. The kind only learned in such a cultured place like Paris. It is so lovely there in the Spring."

"Yes, but I much preferred my time spent in Dubai. We only stayed two months, but it was just amazing." Taking the seat left free to Sienna's right yet again she tossed her curls over her shoulder she smiled brightly and pretended to listen to the inane chatter flowing around her.

'I wonder what Bruce is doing,' she thought resting her chin on her palm and pushing the leaves of her salad around on her plate. 'I'm sure it's got to be better than this.'

"Has anyone ever told you you look like that one super hot black model. You know, the one with the weird name? Alanna, Alena..."

"Athena, yeah," Kallie said with a sigh, "I wish I were have as beautiful."

Once again snickering changed the subject as Bruce walked out of the cafeteria doors with a lunch from home. He looked around for a second until he caught her eye. Looking pointedly at the group she was sitting with he headed for an isolated bench beneath a shady willow tree.

Standing up she looked at Sienna and said calmly, "Thank you so much for inviting me to have lunch with you, but I really must be going. It seems I have other plans after all. I guess you did help simplify my decision after all. Oh, and since I'm sure you're the type to go digging, yes I am Athena's secret daughter, yes I can prove it, and no we cannot start over." With that she went over and sat down next to Bruce.

Bruce glanced up and smirked. "It seems I may have underestimated you Kalliope Krystal. Whatever you said must have really been something. It looks like their sending in the clowns."

Kallie looked over her shoulder and rolled her eyes as two beefy jocks headed in their direction. "Ugh, can we get out of here? I just don't think I can deal with so much ignorance at once."

Bruce looked at her in shock and asked, "What about Detective Gordon? Won't he be angry with you?"

"Nah, Uncle Jim just doesn't want me home alone. He thinks I should be around kids my own age. Technically I don't even need to go to school. My IQ is 139 so its not like I'm here for my education. So, if you come with me to make sure I'm safe and with someone my own age he can't get mad."

"Fine, but only if we go back to my home first. We can decide on what to do next when we get there."

"As long as its not here I don't care where we go."
