A/N: Hai all.

I'm picking up on the old Silver Age comics in which Red Tornado's an archaeology teacher.

The Spitfire is getting serious-ish (and by that I mean it's existing). Oo-rah.

Reviewers! I love you!

No. Not you. You in the pink shirt.

Read, hopefully laugh (or at least smile a little), review and make me and Reddy happy.

CHALLENGE: CAN WE HIT 25 REVIEWS IN TWO DAYS? (and no spamming me, actual reviews that are meaningful and all that shiz)

Black Canary tells me that the "summer holidays" will be ending soon. The team will return to school tomorrow morning (apart from Aqualad, who left his Atlantean magic school some time ago). This news is excellent; although I shall miss having the team around at all times, this means that Kid Flash and Artemis can no longer stage petty arguments at all hours.

Thank the maker; I was becoming very attracted to taking Vigilante's revolvers and destroying my audio receptors permanently.

I will be enjoying the quiet: it should give me ample time to further study The Doors and ABBA, in addition to developing further combat subroutines utilising the fire tornado I recently developed.

The team left for school today; and I was able to determine their specific schools by questioning Robin. According to Robin, both Artemis and Zatanna are at Gotham Academy with him (not that they know that, or so he says) and Superboy, Miss Martian and Kid Flash are all at the local school in Happy Harbour.

I probably should not have neglected to inform them about John Smith being offered part-time employment as an archaeology lecturer at Gotham Academy.

Artemis and Zatanna were most surprised to see John Smith in their archaeology classroom. A young male stepped up to me and offered his hand for me to shake; introducing himself as Dick Grayson.

He winked at me as he said so, which leads me to believe that he is Robin.

Cross-referencing his voice and speech pattern with Robin's indicated a mere 21.9% frequency deviation, which is undoubtedly due to Batman training Robin to deepen his voice when speaking as Robin. Fascinating.

The quietness around the Cave for the six hours that the team are not present is very refreshing. John Smith is only needed at the Academy on a Tuesday and a Friday, so I am able to train and research at my leisure every other day.

I have developed a new combat routine that Artemis has designated the "Catherine Wheel." I perform it by rotating on the spot at 550 rpm and firing the wrist flamethowers at 59% power. It creates a ring of fire which envelops me and can, with the proper application of power, deflect bullets.

Artemis was at the Cave earlier than usual this afternoon.

Only her and Aqualad were present, and she seemed remarkably unhappy.

When the Zeta tube announced Kid Flash's entry, she raised her head approximately 3.356% faster than usual, and on seeing him, began to do that peculiar human action called "smiling."

Could she been unhappy due to Kid Flash's absence?

I must investigate this phenomenon. Soon.

But first, I need to mysteriously return all of Zatanna's old ABBA CDs.
