It had been 10 minutes after the kissing spree, and now everyone was walking to school in seperate groups. Dick and Zatanna went one way, Conner and La'gaan went another, Artemis and Wally went yet another way, and so on.
"Are we there yet?" Bart asked his partner, Jaime. "It's been like, three hours!"
"We're almost there, and more like three minutes." Jaime smirked.
"How do you cope?!" Bart cried. He flailed his arms around, trying to make the whines and complaints even more annoying. He was just trying to bother Jaime, his judgment of time wasn't that bad.
"So hermano, are you excited for school, or more...?" Jaime asked.
"Eh. School's not that crash... But it's not like we have a lotta options." Bart replied.
"Well, maybe keep that to a down-low, because we're here."
"School?! I don't see how our mission, no matter how much sugar Dick and Zatanna try to cover it up with, has anything to do with school!" Cassie yelled, kicking a garbage can over.
"Calm down, Cassie. Before you get caught on other people's properties!" Tim tried to calm the girl down, to no avail.
"Ugh! Of course you'd like it... You're a geek!" she shouted, pushing Tim over. Then, she flew off.
"Oh shit..." Tim muttered.
"So Gar, have you gotten over your Ebola?" M'gann giggled.
"Um... Ebola? I don't even know what that is!" Gar shrugged.
M'gann burst out into fits of laughter. "Yeah, La'gaan pointed that out!"
"Hey!" Garfield blushed. "I just... Don't like school, ok?"
"Right, right." M'gann cleared her throat.
"Sis, did you see that?" Gar nudged M'gann's arm, and then pointed up.
"See what?" the martian asked, following the gaze of her step-brother.
"I thought I saw... Cassie."
"What? But Cassie's with Tim, and she shouldn't be using her superpowers!" M'gann exclaimed.
"Maybe you should..." Gar trailed off.
"Set up a mind link? On it!" M'gann smiled.
"You ok, girl?" Karen asked Barbara.
"Yeah, yeah. I just thought I saw Cassie flying away from the school..." Barbara said.
You did. M'gann's voice echoed in their heads. She's gone a bit... Berserk.
I was hoping I had hallucinated... Barbara thought.
Well, she's actually run off. Came Tim's slightly irritated voice.
No one saw she was with you, Tim? Dick asked.
I don't think so, no. Tim replied.
Good. It's essential to the mission that no one knows some of us have superpowers. Dick sighed. We don't have time to look for her now. We'll have to wait until we get dismissed from school.
