A.N thanks for the reviews! It means a lot that you bother to write them! I am very sorry about the ages of the characters but I hoped it doesn't matter too much, it is an AU after all. Yes she has been to Gotham before but just visiting a friend of family or something like that. They all go to Gotham Academy just in this story, I do know what other schools they go to just it's easier like this. Dick (Nightwing) is a senior so about 18, same as my OC. Artemis, Wally, M'gann, Connor, Barbara and Kaldur are 18 too. Hopefully that makes it a bit clearer... any Q's just ask!

"Oh great," I replied. Shouldn't they have told me about this? "I'm Lily, but you knew that." I added, mentally kicking myself. I always made bad impressions on the first day.

"So," She started as she started walking, "What brings you to Gotham?"

"Dad got posted." I replied, looking around at all the artwork on the walls. I don't know how dad could afford to send us here.

"Cool, what does he work as?" She questioned.

"Security guard." I replied, "Guarding Bruce Wayne for a bit."

"Wayne?!" Bette exclaimed, stopping dead in her tracks.

"Yeah, why?" I didn't see what the big deal was, he'd already guarded some guy named Queen before Queen went bust. Bruce was just another billionaire playboy I didn't care about.

"You've met Dick right?" She said, pointing over at a Dick and the girl he was talking to.

"Yeah, so?" I asked, still not seeing where she was going with this.

"He lives with Bruce! You might get to spend time with him." She added.

"Um, cool?" I didn't really know how to react.

"Dick Grayson is Academy royalty. Spend time with him and you'll get to know all the right people." She explained.

"Or, I could focus on getting real friends, not fancy playboys." I replied.

"Hey! He's my friend." Oh great. Redhead was back.

"Hi Wally. You met Lily?" Bette asked him.

"Yeah, sat with her on the bus." Wally smiled, green eyes sparkling. "Dick's not a playboy." He added.

"Yes he is." Bette argued.

"He's not." Wally replied.

"He is." This could go on for a while.

"Um, hello?" I asked, waving my hands at them as the bell rang. "Kinda lost here!"

"Oh yeah, you're near my registration class so follow me." Bette smiled at me as Wally turned and walked in the opposite direction from us.

When we finally climbed the three flights of stairs and arrived at our registration room, the second bell had rang.

"That's your room." Bette said, pointing to room 300. "I'm in here." She waved as she went inside.

"Artemis!" A girl with shoulder length black hair shouted as I walked in. The girl she was talking to walked in behind me.

"Hey Zee." The girl called Artemis replied as she took a seat with them. I stood awkwardly until the black haired girl shouted at me.

"New girl! Come here!"

"Hi." I said, shyly, not sure if they really wanted me there.

"Can I do introductions?" A perky brown haired girl asked. Artemis sighed and folded her arms.

"Yay!" She squealed, "Ok. I'm Megan, this is Connor," She pointed to a boy with short black hair and huge muscles, "Zatanna's the black haired girl and Artemis is the blond. Wally's around here somewhere..." No sooner had she said his name did Wally come rushing in.

"Sorry I'm late!" He shouted to the teacher.

"Sit down West."

"Sorry." He muttered as he came and sat down beside Artemis.

"Always late." Connor teased.

"Someone like you should be a little faster." Megan joined in.

"Enough guys, don't wanna scare the new girl away." Wally nodded in my direction and Megan slapped her forehead.

"Hello Megan! She must think we're strange."

"I've seen stranger." I muttered before our conversation was interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Yes?" The teacher asked, needed to find out her name too.

"Is this Dick's regi room?" The small boy asked. He had black hair and brown eyes and looked about my sister's age so that made him about 14.

"Tim?" Dick spoke up from behind me. The room went silent.

"You have to come with me. Now." He said, wringing his hands and looking down. Dick was on his feet in an instant.

"Where are you off to?"

"I'm just helping Tim, I won't be far and I'm not leaving the school." Dick said, shutting the door behind him and leaving the teacher staring blankly ahead.

"And that's the winning Grayson charm." Wally joked. Everyone started laughing.
