Mount Justice

September 6, 21:39 EDT

As Mia was recovering, Batman informs her that she would be attending the local high school the next day with M'gann and Superboy. She wasn't having any of that.

"Bats, I don't need to go to school. I'm perfectly fine."

"It wasn't a suggestion. Even though your test scores are impressive, you still have to attend school."

"Fine."

"Good. Now this file has your school schedule and new identity while you're in school."

Batman hands her a manila file. She takes it and looks at him in confusion.

"Why do I need a new identity? I can just use my name."

"Need I remind you that someone is targeting you. We can't have you suddenly appearing at a random high school, this will bring unwanted attention and will advise the Rogers' killer to your location."

Mia was quiet for a bit "Well when you put it that way, I guess it's ok. Please tell me that this new name isn't awful."

"See for yourself" and he leaves.

Mia opens the file and slightly frowns at the name: Amy Chester. "It's not that bad, it could be worse."

Mount Justice

September 7, 06:41 EDT

Mia makes her way to the grotto but stops when she sees Superboy fixing his bike and Sphere greeting him. "Huh, just like a boy and his dog. Kind of" Mia smiles at them when M'gann comes over.

"Ready for school?"

Mia sees M'gann walking over to Superboy and she joins them.

"I made our lunches."

"That's sweet of you Meg."

Mia takes one of the lunch bags. She looks behind them to see J'onn, Kaldur and Tornado walking in.

"Hey Kal, J'onn and T."

"Hello Mia" all three greeted.

"The first day of a scholastic season carries great cultural resonance. We want to wish you all well" J'onn states.

"Guess, it's not a Kryptonian thing" Superboy comments.

"That reminds me, I still need to talk to ol' Superman" Mia adds.

"You may wish to change before you depart" Kaldur suggests to M'gann.

"Ah, I spent hours choosing this outfit" M'gann changes into a maroon skirt, white shirt with a small short sleeve jacket over it in the same color and matching shoes. "What do you think? Can M'gann M'orzz pass as an Earth girl now?"

"Well…"

"Just kidding. Meet Megan Morse" M'gann changes her skin tone to Caucasian.

Mia took the time to look over M'gann's new look and she liked it. "I love it Meg."

"Thanks Mia! What's your new name?" she asks Superboy.

"My what?"

"I chose the name John Jones for myself" J'onn states.

"That makes sense. J'onn J'onzz sounds like John Jones. Nice one" Mia comments.

"I suggested John Smith for Red Tornado. You could be a John, too."

"Pass."

"You're right Supey. I don't peg you as a John but something else. It has to be quick and easy to remember. A name like…"

"Conner's always been my favorite name" M'gann says.

Mia nods "I like that name too. Now all you need is a last name and you're good to go."

"Mia is right. A last name will also be required" Kaldur says.

"Perhaps, Kent" J'onn suggests.

"Oh, in memory of Dr. Fate. The late Kent Nelson" M'gann concludes.

"Ah, of course."

"Conner Kent, I like it. CK. Wait a minute, I know someone with those initials from my clientele list. Who has those initials?...Clark Kent. Oh boy" Mia glances at Superboy and figures it out "Clark Kent is Superman."

"Okay. Sure. I guess it would be an honor or something" Conner says.

"Or something" Mia retorts.

J'onn looks over to her and she winks at him. He slightly pales a little.

"I know the real reason why his last name is Kent. I promise I won't say anything to either of them."

J'onn nods.

"Well, Conner Kent, time to change your shirt."

"He doesn't have to change his shirt Meg."

"He might reveal his identity" M'gann reasons.

"Come on, who's going to figure out that he's Superboy? No one because nobody knows he exists" Mia states.

Conner didn't care so he takes off his shirt in front of everyone. M'gann blushes at the action while Mia doesn't look away, in fact she continues to look at him. He puts the shirt inside out.

He asks in an irritated voice "Will this work?"

"Ha ha. Works for me" M'gann comments.

Mia on the other hand decides to get all handsy and Conner looks at her weirdly.

"Um what are you doing?"

She looks up at him "Checking you out."

Everyone got deadly silent.

"Excuse me?"

"Ugh. Will you relax? I've never done a sketch with a shirtless male model before and I want to do some experiments on the lighting and shading of the sketch. When school is over, you're being my model."

"Whatever."

"Mia."

"Yes Kal?" Mia looks over to Kaldur.

"What about you? I do not believe you can go when everyone will be able to recognize you."

"Batman's got me covered Kaldur. Say hello to Amy Chester from Central City."

Mia puts on colored contacts and nonprescription glasses. Mia's outfit for the day is a yellow tank top underneath a red short sleeve plaid shirt, jean shorts and red converse shoes. Her normal doe brown eyes are now ocean blue and the glasses will throw people off about who she really is. Soon all three high schoolers left for school.

"Wait, shouldn't I be Conner Nelson?" Conner wonders.

"Nah, it doesn't have the same ring as Conner Kent" Mia answers.

As they were on their way to school, Mia stops dead in her tracks and the couple notices.

"Mia are you ok?" M'gann asks.

"Y-yeah just nervous I guess."

"You nervous? No" Conner taunts.

Mia playfully glares at him "Hardee har har. But seriously, I don't know what high school's like. I mean sure I know just as much as a Junior but that doesn't mean I know how high school works. What if I mess up and end up as a laughingstock in front of the whole school?"

The couple glance at each other then smiled at Mia.

"You're going to do great. Remember, we're in the same boat as you so we're in this together" M'gann states.

"Just don't do anything stupid" Conner comments.

Mia looks at him annoyed "I could never do anything stupid because you take all the stupid with you."

"Whatever."

They continued to make their way to school.

Happy Harbor

September 7, 07:58 EDT

As they're walking through the courtyard, a guy on a skateboard approaches them and Conner picks him up by the back of his shirt. Mia went to quickly grab his skateboard and came back to see Conner angrily stare at the poor guy.

"Explain this" he points to the guy's shirt.

"Why?"

"Conner, put him down" Mia comments.

"What's your problem?" a guy in a Superman t-shirt says "Put my man Marvin down."

"I don't think he likes my shirt" Marvin comments.

"It's ok Marvin. This isn't about the shirt, trust me" Mia tells him.

Conner looks around and notices that everyone is wearing a superhero t-shirt.

"Your shirt's fine. Everyone's shirt is fine" he lets go of Marvin.

A cheerleader states "Someone's fine."

This causes the guy in the Superman shirt to approach them.

"Hi. We're new. I'm Megan Morse. This is Conner Kent. And this is Amy Chester" M'gann introduces themselves to everyone.

"Triple alliteration. I like it" Marvin comments.

Conner and the other guy stood in front of each other then Mia steps in the middle and gently pushes Conner away so she can face the guy herself.

"Heh. You're letting a girl fight your battle" he taunts Conner but Mia responds instead.

"No, he's not. I just don't want him getting in trouble on the first day of school, me on the other hand I don't really care if I get in trouble or not. No one messes with my cousin unless he wants his ass whooped."

Mia cracks her knuckles and the guys laughs a little.

"You think you can take me down?"

"I've taken down guys a lot bigger than you. It should be a piece of cake."

Before anything else could happen, a teacher stops "the fight" before it began by snapping his fingers.

"Okay, time to get to homeroom, gang."

The guy ignores Mia and walks past Conner hitting his arm purposely in the process. Conner was about to go after him when M'gann stops him then Mia was about to go after the guy and Conner holds her back. She pouts and crosses her arms.

"Hi, I'm Wendy. I was new last year so I know how hard it is to fit in."

"You have no idea" Mia said barely above a whisper.

She realizes that she still has Marvin's board and when she hands it to him, she got an idea.

"Hey Marvin."

"Yeah."

"Do you mind if I…" she gestures to the skateboard.

"Go ahead."

Mia takes it back and places it on the ground. She takes a deep breath then hops on it and starts skateboarding. Mia does a few tricks with the board and returns to the group. Everyone was shocked that Mia had mad skateboarding skills and Marvin's jaw was practically on the floor.

"Thanks Marv" Mia hands him back the board.

"S-sure, no problem."

"You two look like instant bumble bee material to me" Wendy states "Cheerleaders. The bumble bees. Tryouts are after school."

"Thanks. I'll be there" M'gann states and walks with Wendy.

Mia didn't like the idea about being a cheerleader but she'll go there to support M'gann.

"Dudes, facing down Mal Duncan? Fierce. Not too bright, but fierce" Marvin states.

"What can I say Marv? It's a family thing" Mia comments nudging Conner in the side.

All of them went inside and made it to the classroom with just enough time for Mia to put her locker combination in. "Ok it was 25-19-7. Let's hope I get this right." She puts in the combination and it didn't work. Mia tries a few more times but she still couldn't get it right.

"Ugh. Why do you hate me?" Mia asks the locker after hitting her head on the door.

"Are you sure you were moving the dial correctly?" a guy spoke behind her.

Mia snapped her neck so quickly, the guy thought she might've gotten whiplash. Unconsciously, Mia got into a fighting stance and the guy backs away a little.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Mia shakes her head "No I'm sorry, it's a reflex. My uncle taught me."

"I'm Andy" he extends his hand.

"Amy" she shakes his hand.

"Let's get your locker opened before we're late for class."

"Sure."

Mia gives him her combo and when he puts it in, the locker opens. She smiles and tries it a few times before finally getting it right. Mia turns to face Andy and gives him her signature cheeky grin.

"Thanks Andy."

"No problem. Let me walk you to class."

"Oh you don't have to Andy."

"I want to though" he glances at her bashfully as a small blush tints his cheeks.

"Ok Andy" she smiles.

"Great."

The two of them headed to Mia's classroom and when they arrived, each exchanged a quick bye then Andy heads to his class. Mia takes a seat behind M'gann and class started.

'If Lex Luthor's unknown strategy for peace fails, the two Rhelasias are looking at all-out war before morning' Cat Grant states on a live broadcast.

The teacher turns off the TV and looks to his students.

"Who can tell me more about Rhelasia? Marvin?"

"Well, Mr. Carr, it's…better than fake Asia." His joke earned a few chuckles.

"Anyone else?"

"Modern Rhelasia was created in 1855 and ruled by the Boquoon dynasty until it was divided by the great powers into North and South Rhelasia after World War II" Conner answers.

"Very good" Mr. Carr smiles.

"But why are they fighting? They're all humans. I mean, Rhelasians. Right?"

"Right on both accounts, actually" Mr. Carr starts the lesson.

"It's no different on Mars. The White Martian minority are treated as second class citizens by the green majority. Of course, I'm green but that doesn't make it right" M'gann says.

"There's none of that back home. Everyone's treated equally and we discuss about the island's problems. We work together to solve problems, not create more" Mia adds.

"You're from an island? Which one?" Conner asks.

"You guys might as well know. I'm from an island called Isla Santo Miguel, it's just off the coast of Peru."

They turned their attention back to the listen but Mia was having some trouble. It seems that her mind keeps drifting back to a certain sandy brown hair blue eyed guy. "What am I doing?! I can't think about some random guy I just met! This isn't some chick flick movie."

The rest of the day was uneventful until Mia's last class where she saw Andy again. He notices her and waves and Mia waves back. The art teacher instructed everyone to work on their weak points in art. This meant that pretty much the entire class had to draw and paint while Mia was the odd one out and went to do pottery.

She puts her hair up with a clip and went to work. "I've got this. I'm an art prodigy, pottery should be a piece of cake." Oh how wrong she was. Mia tried and tried to make a simple small vase but every time ended in failure. She lets out a sigh of irritation and was going to give up.

"This is hopeless" she mutters.

"Giving up so quickly already?"

Mia turns to see Andy behind her. He smiles at her.

"Wow I was way off. You're not the girl I thought you were."

"And what kind of girl did you peg me for hmm?" she raises her eyebrow.

Andy chuckles and sat beside her "I know whatever I'm going to say would be wrong and that you're going to hate me for it."

"Try me."

"I pegged you as the type that doesn't give up so easily. That you'd go down swinging for standing up in what you believe in. Am I wrong?"

Mia blushes and stutters "N-no y-you're not" *clears throat* "You're right. I'm not the one who gives up easily."

"Then why did I see you give up just now?"

"I don't know" Mia looks down.

And moves his seat behind Mia and got real close to her.

"Let me show you. It's all about relaxing your hands and going with the flow and motion of the clay."

Andy presses the pedal to make the table move, he takes her hand into his and shows her the proper way to do pottery. Mia's doing a great job with Andy's help. On the outside she looks calm and collected but on the inside, she's completely freaking out. "Please don't let him hear my heart beating. For the love of God, please don't let him hear it!"

Class came to an end which made Mia both sad and happy: happy that school was over and sad that she won't see Andy. "Jesus Christ what's wrong with me?!" Mia heads to the football field to watch M'gann tryout for the cheerleading team. She stays up in the bleachers with Conner and cheers loudly.

"Go Meg! You got this girl, whoo!"

M'gann turns back and waves at Mia before starting her cheer.

"Okay, Megan, you're up" Wendy states.

"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Hornets, hornets, can't be beat. Bzzting. Ow!"

Mia cheered "Alright Meg! That's how you do it, you go girl!"

Conner had to pull Mia back down so she wouldn't embarrass herself anymore. She sticks her tongue out at him and waits impatiently along with M'gann as the cheerleaders had a group talk. Wendy walks over to M'gann and Mia started to get nervous. "Please let her get on the team. Please!"

"How'd I do?" M'gann asks.

"I thought you did great. And I'm really sorry about this."

Mia saw two other cheerleaders carrying a tub of water behind M'gann, ready to dump it on her. She smiles "Guess she made the team." They dumped the water on her causing Conner to get mad and raced down the bleachers. Mia shakes her head at him while hearing M'gann in her head "Conner, no!" Conner trips on his way down, losing his balances then falls over the edge and onto the ground. Mia calmly walks down and looks over the edge to mock Conner.

"Real smooth Con."

"Sorry, it's a stupid initiation ritual that I wish my teammates would abandon" Wendy explains.

"Wait. Initiation ritual? Hello, Megan. That means I made the team. Um, I did, right?"

"You're a bumble bee girl" one of the girls told her.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Great job Meg! I knew you could do it."

Wendy looks up at Mia "Amy do you want to try out?"

Mia shakes her head "No thanks Wendy. I don't think I have what it takes to be a cheerleader."

"If you say so."

"So, is that your boyfriend? Cause he's hot, but kind of a freak" a cheerleader tells M'gann.

Mia bursts out laughing and falls. After the tryouts were over, Conner and Mia head down to meet M'gann. Conner handed her his jacket and grabs her books.

"You're carrying my books?"

"What, you want them to get wet?"

"Oh my god! Meg, he totally likes you."

"What? No he doesn't….do you think so?"

"I know so. I've got a knack for this sort of thing. Oh watch out."

Mia catches the incoming football and sends a glare to the football team. One of the players walks over to them with a sheepish smile.

"Sorry about that. Nice catch."

She narrows her eyes at him and he starts shifting his feet.

"I-it's ok, don't worry about it. Amy, just give him the ball back and we can go home" M'gann suggests.

A smirk appears on her face "Sure I'll give it back, if he goes long."

His eyes widen "Are you sure?"

She scoffs "You don't think I can do it?"

"N-no th-that's not what I meant. I mean-"

"Just shut up and go long."

"Ok."

The guy runs a few feet away and turns back waiting for the catch but Mia shakes her head. She gestures for him to go farther and he did. Once he was on the 50 yard line, Mia throws a perfect spiral and he caught it. However when he caught it, he stumbles back a little from the sheer force of her throw.

M'gann was shocked to say the least while the rest of the football team stopped whatever they were doing and gawked at Mia. Not really caring about the attention she brought upon herself, Mia wipes her hands and heads home with M'gann hot on her trail.

"Mia! That was amazing! How'd you do that?"

"Trade secret Meg. Now lets get to the cave and start our homework."

While the girls left, the football team was still in a state of shock including the coach but there was one player who wasn't surprised, that was Andy. He lightly chuckles and sprints towards his best friend Ben.

"Dude, you good?"

"Wha- I mean yeah. Did you see that pass?! Not even George could throw a perfect pass like that" Ben took a minute to realize who Mia was "Wait, wasn't that the girl you have a crush on? The one you helped open her locker and in art class?"

"Shout it to the heavens why don't you? I don't think the Martians heard you" Andy states as a small blush appears on his cheeks "It couldn't be a crush. I literally just met her today."

"Simmons!"

Andy turns around to see Coach Brown walking towards him.

"Yeah coach?"

"Do you know that girl?"

"Yes sir."

"Good, have her come by to practice next week after school. I want to see what else she's got."

"Sure thing coach."

When the coach left, Ben elbows Andy in the ribcage. Andy glances at him to see a sly smirk on Ben's face.

"He's going to say something stupid. I just know it" "Go ahead, say what's on your mind."

"If she makes it on the football team, nearly every guy in school would try to go out with her. You my man have to ask before she's taken."

"I can't ask the new girl out just like that. Besides, I don't think she's into me" "I really hope she does though" Andy rubs his neck and frowns a little.

"Do you know her name at least?"

A soft smile appears on Andy's face "Yeah. It's Amy Chester."
