==Some minutes later

"SCHOOL!" Everyone yelled out.

"Yes, I need you guys to attend school. It'll be a way to interact with your fellow teammates outside of missions." Batman's gravelly voice rang out.

"But this is a mission. You want us to keep watch on a potential villain." Kaldur spoke out.

"Yes." Batman nodded, "But you guys won't be there all the time. That's why I've rented out an apartment for you. Go as you please, but don't cause trouble. Remember, your mission is to check out Mr. Ford, an English teacher who may well be the thief of a very powerful weapon. You guys will be attending the same school as the thief, and I want a report every day. Now, for your identities, I want you guys to go into your civilian identities. You have to trust each other, at all times." Batman stressed the last part, making sure it stayed engraved.

"Uh. What about me?" Superboy asked.

Batman simply replied, "Your identity is Conner Kent."

Superboy shrugged his shoulders, not knowing that the last name he had was the same as the original from whom he was cloned.

"Now, go and change, and meet back here in half an hour. I'll finish preparing everything." Batman ordered.

==Half an hour later

The team came back in, all dressed in their civvies, and lugging a suitcase each.

"Now, you guys all have to have partners, someone who will keep an eye out on you, and if there is a problem, will alert the rest of the team. You must be able to open to the other person, so this partnership will be based on trust, and potential issues you need to break. Now: Conner, you're going to be with Megan."

Megan and Conner blushed, remembering the incident from earlier.

"Wally, you're going to be with Artemis."

While the two would have been ecstatic at this idea, appearances were appearances.

"Come on! Why do I have to be stuck with this Goddess of Strife? Why can't I get Rob?" Wally spluttered out.

"Goddess of Strife! What's that supposed to mean!" Artemis roared.

"You call yourself Artemis, who is the Goddess of the Hunt, but really, you should have been named Eris, the Goddess of Strife! " Wally yelled back.

"This, is why I want you guys as partners. Work out your issues, and stop bickering." Batman growled, drawing the two teens from their angry tirade. "So Kaldur, you and Dick are together." Batman finished. "You guys are going to be attending the Happy Harbour High School, which you guys have already trashed. Remember, keep a low profile."

The team grabbed their stuff, as well as the key to the apartment, and left off to the city, off to their new mission: school.

==Some hours later

It was a pretty big apartment, all things considered. It consisted of a living room, which was well sized, six rooms, albeit not being very big, it fit a desk and a bed. There were two bathrooms, one for each gender, and a medium sized kitchen, just in case.

"Is everyone settled in?" Kaldur asked.

Everyone mumbled their consent as they went back to the living room, and settled in.

"Good, now, I think it'd be best that everyone says their full real names, so that we know who we are. My name is going to be Kaldur Ahm, since I do not possess a last name, as it's required here." Kaldur stated.

"I'm next!" Wally stood up. "Name's Wally West, and-" Wally started

"You should pay homage to your name and go away, far, far to the west." Artemis added, smirking.

"Well, princess, if I did that, I would end up right back here, since the world is round, going in one direction would get be back where I started." Wally retorted.

"Enough. Both of you." Kaldur stopped the two of them from going any farther. "Megan, you want to continue?"

"Sure. I'm Megan Morse, and does this skin tone look ok for me?" Megan asked, for she had just changed her skin colour to match a human's. It was a pale peach colour, and everyone agreed that she looked just fine in that colour.

"Well, everyone knows mine. Conner Kent." Conner muttered. "Not much to say about me."

Everyone looked at Artemis, and she sighed "I'm guessing everyone's looks means I have to go. Name's Artemis Crock."

"You mean, your name is your superhero name!" Wally spluttered out.

"Yeah, Wall-Man, it is." Artemis growled back.

"And Robin-" Kaldur turned to the last member of their team.

"I'm Richard Grayson, you can call me Dick, but no jokes." Dick replied, the last part sounding like a threat worthy of his mentor.

"Well, we probably should go out and see the town, as well as get some food." Wally offered.

"Good idea, but we go with our partners. Yes, partners," Kaldur stressed, as he noticed that Artemis and Wally were about to oppose the idea. "The point is also to learn to trust, so start doing that."

==Downtown Happy Harbour

"So Conner, what do you want to do?" Megan asked, breaking the silence.

"I don't know, what do people usually do while they're here?" Conner turned to face Megan, a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, people go shopping, or work, or they go out, so I've seen on shows." Megan blushed.

"Go out? We're already outside." Conner raised an eyebrow.

Megan was blushing really badly now. "Oh, no, to go out with someone is to date someone, to hang out with someone in a romantic way."

"Kind of like how we're doing?" Conner asked, understanding now.

"Well, no, I mean yes, I don't know." Megan didn't know how to reply to this.

"How not? We're hanging out, and we kissed, isn't that romantic?" Conner was trying to understand this. He was confused, and it didn't help that Megan was being evasive. The g-gnomes had taught him much, but never on the topic of love.

"Yes, but usually those people are dating, you know, girlfriend and boyfriend?" Megan mumbled.

Conner knew enough to realize that Megan wasn't referring to having a girl or a boy as just a friend. He stopped walking, and Megan stopped too. He stepped up to her, and asked her. "So, do you want us to be dates?"

Megan giggled at the simple and yet concrete way with which Conner had asked. "Sure, that sounds good."

Conner smiled as he mimicked Megan's actions early that morning by putting his hands on either side of her face, and drawing their lips together. Megan put her hands against Conner's chest, and became oblivious to anything around them.

==In another part of town

"So, where do you want to start looking for information?" Kaldur asked. He had been able to hide his Atlantean side with some League tech, and was now walking around happily, and hoping the tech wouldn't fail him.

"I don't know, you're the leader." Dick spat out, a bit bitterly.

"But you have more experience, and would know where to look." Kaldur replied, wondering what the anger was for.

"So? Experience doesn't matter in things like this." Dick muttered.

"You're jealous because I'm leader? I'm only currently taking the spot, but I have never expressed interest in wanting to take over permanently."

"Seems that way, with how great everyone thinks you are. The great Kaldur'ahm, Atlantean hero, and now, hero of the land." Dick angrily replied. Luckily, the place where they were walking was currently deserted, so no one overheard Dick's outburst, which would have had disastrous consequences.

"Look, let's put it this way. You're leader for this mission, and we'll see how you do. If people prefer you as leader, we'll stick that way, sound good?" Kaldur explained.

"I-fine. But I don't want this to turn into a pity party." Dick mumbled.

==And yet in another part of Happy Harbour.

"So, I'm strife now?" Artemis asked. They had been silent throughout this whole time, and 10 minutes without anything coming out was awkward as ever, especially considering that they liked each other.

"No! I just, argh, I was just bantering, plus getting revenge for throwing you throwing me out of the balcony! For what it's worth, I think you make a great Goddess." Wally smiled.

"Thanks. And sorry about that, I didn't know what else to do!" Artemis countered.

"Because throwing me out, and having me wake up as I'm plunging to my death is a great way to solve the problem?" Wally deadpanned. "You know, they invented closets, people do hide things in them."

"Ha-ha." Artemis sarcastically replied. " It was Megan! What was I supposed to do? What if she had mentally scanned the room?"

"Well, at least now we can hang out together, just like last night." Wally smiled as he put his arm around Artemis' waist, drawing her to him. "Can't wait for more school fun."

"At least we'll be in the same grade." Artemis smiled, leaning on Wally's shoulder.

"See! You're beginning to think positively already!" Wally smirked, squeezing Artemis' shoulder.

"Gee, thanks Teddy." Artemis sneered.

"Speaking of which, who did I call?" Wally asked, afraid to know the answer.

"Some guy at my old school, calls himself the T-man. I thought it would be fitting." Artemis smiled.

"But he's not a boyfriend or anything right?" Wally asked, just to confirm.

"Baywatch, if you think I'm capable of going out with someone like that idiot, you've got another thing coming." Artemis growled, raising her head a bit to glare at Wally.

"Just asking." Wally sheepishly smiled.

"More like you're jealous." Artemis smirked. "Oh one day, I'm just going to make life hell for you."

"Come on! Give me some credit!" Wally pouted. "I didn't even flirt with Megan today!"

"If you had, let's just say that your body would still be screaming in pain, years later." Artemis threatened.

"Now who's jealous?" Wally cringed, trying to lighten the mood a bit.

"Shut up." Artemis smiled, pushing him a bit.

"Will do." Wally smiled, going in for the kiss. They connected, and they shared their somewhat secret moment, truly enjoying being with each other, but pretending to hate each other. Wally and Artemis liked their banters, and everyone's expression of pure annoyment when they had to listen just made it much sweeter.


Hahah, just setting up for the drama that is HS :P and yes, there'll be drama!

Please review!

Thanks very much,
