Chapter 6: Surprise Surprise.

(With Ace (Ace's P.o.V))

"Hey Eric, I'm sorry about school today," I whispered as we drove toward the house. "The Princess did get out, but I didn't want Lily to worry." They reached the apartment building and parked the bike. They walked up to the apartment and walked in, Ace dropped her bag in the living room and went into the kitchen where she walked to the fridge. "Do you want anything to eat Eric?"

"Sure Ace," Eric replied as he walked into the kitchen as well. "I don't have much in there, but I have a few things." I nodded and looked in the fridge and found some bread, cheese, and deli meats. I set about making sandwiches for Eric and I. "And do you need help with your math homework?" I produced the two sandwiches and held one out to Eric.

"Here you are," I muttered as I sat on the couch. "And I would love help on my math, I'm in Algebra II and I have no clue what's going on in that class." He sat on the couch too and we ate our food. After we were finished I took care of the plates, by throwing them out, they were paper after all. "So that math, I have about 40 problems to do and none of the work makes any sense to me." Eric nodded as I grabbed my backpack and took out my math book.

"Ok, what are you working on in class?" Eric asked as he looked at the book, Ace pulled out a pencil and paper to begin working on the problems. "I never did this kind of stuff in school, I never liked math either, but I'll do my best to try and help." I nodded and looked at the book, I turned to the page that was assigned and looked at the problems.

(Time Skip after Dinner.)

I was up in my room, we had just come back from the Chinese place and I was texting Warren. *Hey Warren.* I texted. *Hey Ace how's it going?* He replied. I was laying on my bed with my phone and a book. *It's going, Draven found the hickey.* I replied as I was reading A Midsummer Nights Dream and waiting for Warren to text me back. *And?* He asked, I laughed and wondered what he was doing. *He was ok with it so long as I didn't go to far.* I replied, I was picturing Warren in the clothes from the club, and I couldn't wait to ask him out. *Well, I could have. ;)* He replied and boy could I picture him winking and I wanted to just curl into him. *I know you could have what you doing?* I asked trying to get my mind out of the gutter as I rolled over and continued reading, I loved Shakespeare. *Reading. You?* He replied as I laughed and replied *Reading, and thinking about something.* I couldn't help smiling, and I was excited. *About what?* He asked, I was looking around my room, I had to make sure that I didn't get into any more trouble this year. *You... Warren I'm thinking about you.* I texted in reply as I put my bookmark back in my book.

(The Next Day at School (General P.o.V))

"Will all students please gather in the gymnasium for a special assembly," Powers voice boomed over the intercom system.

"What do you think the assembly is about?" Lily asked Ace as she, Ace, Garth and Warren, all walked to the gym.

"Probably, the talent show," Ace began as she looked at Lily. "And Warren I don't want to hear that you're anti-social because guess what?" She turned to Warren and looked at him.

"What Ace?" Warren asked with his arm around her shoulders, people had visibly shuddered when seeing the two together, holding hands and such.

"So am I, I have maybe four or five close friends and the rest I don't give a fuck about," Ace replied sweetly as she had her arm around his waist.

"Well Ace," Warren stated as he tightened his hold. "Sometimes it's better to have a few really good friends, then tons of shallow ones." Ace nodded and pressed herself into his side.

"I know babe," Ace whispered as they continued on their way to the gym. "However I am so distrustful of people, practically everyone." She nuzzled into his side. "Now let's get this hell over with." The quartet reached the gym and sat together on the bleachers, most other students giving their group a wide spread.

"I would like to announce that there will a talent show, everyone is encouraged to come and sign up between today and next week," Powers stated from the platform that power placement had commenced on. Kids cheered all around including Ace and Lily, much to the terror of both boys. "And I would also like to make it public knowledge that Ace Napier has one last chance before she's sent to Arkham. Please try not to antagonize her as she is working around having been raised by her parents." Ace was getting mad.

"You can't just do that!" Lily screamed at Powers, as she went to stand up. "That's discrimination just because she's the daughter of two villians!"

"Leave it alone Lily, I'm fine with it," Ace whispered as she tightened her grip on Warren's hand.

"Ms. Wayne, please be quiet. Ms. Napier has one last chance to stay out of fights, to stop making accusations about teachers, to stop blowing up the school or she's going to Arkham. She knew the penalty," Powers replied as she looked up at the quartet.

"That's Bullshit and you know it! You only want an excuse to send her to Arkham so that you can have your precious school to be filled with only the children of hero's again, well guess what Ace isn't the only child of two villians at this school!" Lily screamed, her eyes were taking on a faint glow and she was getting angry.

"Ms. Wayne, you need to calm down. I don't care whether or not the students here are the children of hero's, villians, or one of each. You would do well not to assume what I want in my school," Powers replied as she walked off the platform. "Now this assembly is over to your classes everyone."

"It's not an assumption if it's the truth, You and almost every teacher in this school have set things up to ensure that Ace would fail and be sent to Arkham, and don't try to deny it because I can and WILL prove it," Lily growled out as the hold she had on her powers began slipping.

"Lily, calm down. I have my gloves on so my power isn't going to be a problem. Now you really need to calm down before I'm forced to act," Ace whispered as she looked at Lily, she knew what it looked like when Lily lost her control over hew powers. She was then louder, "Oh and Powers, if she says that she'll prove something, well all I can say is be prepared for a lawsuit."

"The both of you crazy bitches need to be sent to Arkham at least then everything here will have SOME class," Layla remarked snidely, a few other people agreed.

"Layla, shut up, neither of them are crazy okay?" Magenta stated from her position next to Layla before she punched her in the face.

"That because you weren't here yesterday when Napier attacked me for no reason at all and Lily isn't really the daughter of a hero, she's the daughter of Ivy and Slade!" Layla stated as she held her nose.

"OH FUCK THIS! Lily, I'll see you sometime soon," Ace stated as she let go of Warren's hand and jumped off the bleachers toward Layla. "I THOUGHT THAT I HAD ALREADY TAUGHT YOU THIS RULE BITCH!" She grabbed hold of Layla and threw her to the floor before jumping on her. "I TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANTED ABOUT ME, BUT THAT YOU WERE TO LEAVE LILY OUT OF THIS!" She slammed Layla's head against the floor a few times. "AND FUCK IF I DIDN'T HAVE A REASON YESTERDAY, YOU TRIED TO ATTACK MY BEST FRIEND, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY A STUPID BITCH AND IF I FELT LIKE GOING BACK TO JAIL I'D KILL YOU NOW."

"That's it Napier, you just lost your last chance!" Powers said as Boomer and the Commander took hold of Ace's arms and dragged her to the detention room. "And the rest of you students get to your classes." She said before heading to her office to fill out the paperwork for Ace to be sent to Arkham.

"How many times do I have to tell you people, I won't be caught unless I want to be," Ace stated sarcastically as she charged up her hands and slammed them into the chests of the men before they reached the detention room, they fell to the floor and Ace walked off. "POWERS THEIR HEARTS DON'T START AGAIN UNLESS I GET TO STAY DO YOU HEAR THAT POWERS?"

"You can stay on the condition that you start their hearts back NOW, and you wear a power sealing device," Powers stated as she came out of her office.

"If I wear that I'll destroy myself from the inside out Powers," Ace replied calmly, she had no intention of wearing that stupid accessory.

"I'll have to just live with that," Powers stated coldly, she didn't care what happened to Ace really.

" Well Powers… That would make you no better than me Powers. If my ability gets sealed away I die. It's in my blood," Ace replied, she would enjoy killing this woman.

"I don't care it's either that or Arkham, or would you rather your little friend to be sent there since it's been HER that's caused you to be in all of these fights," Powers replied coldly. She was getting mad.

"You listen here, I'm the ONLY one who can bring them back, no amount of defibrillation will," Ace stated as she smirked at Powers. "And you are pissing me off enough to stop your heart too, so I suggest you stop threatening things that you can't push through, stop threatening me with death because lady I'm the one who holds the cards." She pulled a deck of cards out of her bag and started to play with them. "Oh and you might want to pick soon because they've got maybe another minute before they suffer brain and muscle damage." She was smiling her demon Jacks smile.

"Fine you don't have to wear the bracelet, now revive them," Powers demanded, she was worried for her staff and fellow hero.

"And not one more threat of Arkham even if I get into more fights," Ace replied as she and Powers began to walk back to Boomer and Stronghold.

"Done," Powers exclaimed and she and Ace shook hands.

"You just made a deal with the Devil Powers," Ace replied as she charged up her hands and pressed them into the male's chests. "Pleasure doing business." She skipped to her locker.

"Boomer, please bring Lily Wayne to my office," Powers whispered when she thought Ace was out of earshot and before going to her office to fill out paperwork and make some phone calls. 'Ms. Napier may not be going there but she just sealed her little friend's fate.' Powers thought with a giggle.

'I should have known that she would try to pull something like this, stupid bitch thinks I can't hear around a corner.' Ace thought as she began to go toward the Principals office. "Oh Powers, a word if you will, not that you have a choice."

"I don't think so Ms. Napier now if you will excuse me," She said brushing past Ace while covertly locking the bracelet onto the young supers wrist, effectively dampening her powers. "I have work to do." She finished as she entered her office as Lily was brought in, Boomer holding her arm tightly.

"What's the meaning of this Principal Powers?" Lily demanded as Boomers grip starting to bruise her arm.

"Get this thing off me you fucking bitch, the power is in my blood do you think that's the only thing I have? And you agreed to no threats, that included Lily's going to Arkham, I told you that you had made a deal with the DEVIL Powers, talk to Draven about the DEVIL," Ace screamed as she raised her hand and pulled out a pocket knife. "You take the bracelet off and Lily stays out of Arkham or the entire school goes boom. GET IT POWERS?" Powers sent a subtle nod to the Commander who punched Ace in the head hard enough to knock her out as guards from Arkham came in and dragged Lily away.

"Ace! Let me go! Ace!" Lily screamed, she didn't see as Ace fell to the ground passed out, her body trying to expel the energy building up inside.
