Chapter 1: The New School Year
Kyle West wakes up for school on Monday August 21st for his first day of Junior Year. Walking over to his closet to pick out his Gotham Academy Uniform. "Today's going to be a great day." As he finishes getting ready he walks down the stairs to greet his mother and father. "Good Morning Sweetie how'd you sleep?" Artemis asks her son after taking a sip of her morning coffee. "I couldn't sleep much, I was so excited for today. "Hey where's dad?" Kyle asks as he goes into the fridge for an apple. "Right here son just got the car checked up and it's ready for your first day." Wally says. "Now son, the first thing that you have to remember about Junior year, is that you ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT go the whole day without flirting with a girl, got it?" Wally says jokingly. "WALLY! We're supposed to teach Kyle to be polite and gentlemanly not like how you were when you were 16." Artemis scolds her husband. "Alright alright I'll be serious. Son I want you to strive for straight A's this year, Last year your grades slumped extremely low and we were disappointed in you because of it but I feel this will be a new year and a new you so go out there and knock 'em out of the park. Got it?" Wally says with a serious yet still joking fatherly tone. "Yes Dad I understand what I need to do. Alright I'm ready to go now it's time to see what Gotham Academy is like." Kyle says. Kyle had been transferred to Gotham Academy this year due to his grades slumping and his mission was to get straight A's. "Meet you in the car Dad!" Kyle says. And with that Kyle is off to Gotham. When he makes it to the Academy he realizes that this is more intimidating than he'd thought. He left all his old friends and now has to make new ones. Kyle hugs his dad goodbye and says "I'll see you when I get home. Bye dad I love you." Wally looks on as his son enters the gates. "I love you too son." As Kyle walks through the gates he's greeted with all sorts of looks. Some of disgust, others of shock, and even some of impression. He stops at a table with two girls and one guy. One girl was slightly curvy with short blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, she had bright blue eyes, like his uncle Dick, and the other was a tall and slim black girl with medium poofy black hair her eyes were brown with a were both beautiful but Kyle was not here to waste time on ladies he had work to do. The guy was also black and happened to look like a nice young man. He was also tall maybe a bit taller than Kyle he had short hair and hazel eyes. "Hi I'm Kyle. I'm a transfer here and don't know my way around can I get some help to my class?" The blonde gestures to the other girl then looks down intently. Then the girl with the medium poofy black hair looks up and says " Sure we'll be gladly to show you around." "Thank you. What're your names?" Kyle asks. The girl with the medium poofy black hair says. " My name is Egypt Hawkins daughter Virgil Hawkins and Cassandra Sandsmark". The other female murmurs, "Mary Quinzel." The man of the group stood up and walked over to Kyle. "Jackson Stewart, son of Jonathan Stewart, pleasure to meet you!" The quartet of teens walk to a classroom which they all happen to share during first period. "So this is our Physics class. Our teacher is .She is so strict like last year she yelled at a kid just for drinking water in her class". Egypt says while walking to her desk. Mary sits in a corner in a back of the room. Then Mrs. Parker walks in and immediately starts writing problems on the board."If an object weighs 30 N on Earth, how much would it weigh on the moon?" Mary starts furiously scribbling.
Earlier That Day With Egypt Hawkins
Egypt Hawkins woke up around 5 am she gets up to do her personal hygiene for about 30 minutes. She walks into the kitchen looking for her parents but like usual they're not home. All of a sudden her parents walk through the door. " Are you ready for your first semester of your junior year?" Cassandra asks while drinking her coffee. " Why do you care anyways? You guys are hardly here." Egypt says with an attitude while her eyes turn white. " Don't talk to your mother like that, just because we are not here doesn't mean we don't care about you". Virgil said while sticking up for Cassandra and himself. "Whatever, I'm out." She then jumps out the window and flies off to school. While she was flying she wasn't paying attention she ran into a plane and dented the side of the wing. " Man I thought my flying got better, damn planes always getting in my way." She then gets a call from her father and says "What?" in an annoyed tone. "I told you not to use your powers in public we can't have you seen during the day as a meta-human. Darkseid and Vandall could come and abduct you." Virgil says worriedly " Oh now you're worried about my damn safety. What about the time I got kidnapped by Lex Luthor?" Egypt quips "Okay, first off watch your language, and second we didn't know you were kidnapped until after we'd gotten home and your phone was on the couch. I'm sorry we were busy saving the world." Virgil snaps. "That's why you guys should be home more" She snaps back. "We would be home more but we can't just…" She hangs up the phone done with the conversation and lands in front of the school. Luckily there was no one there to see her landing. I know I shouldn't be so mean to them, but it would be nice for them to give a damn about me for once and actually mean it...
Earlier that day with Mary Quinzel
"Beep beep! Baby it's school time!" I jump out of my bed, by bed I mean my mattress on the floor, and am greeted by Mom her pigtails swaying as she jumps up and down in glee. I get dressed trying my best to ignore her comments on my feminine physique and start to turn a door handle when a bullet flies right past my arm, almost getting hit, Dad cackles, "Baby Ace! So old, now here's a cleaver, I expect you to use it on anyone who gets in your way!" He socks me in the gut and I'm knocked back then he throws a cleaver right as I roll over so it isn't implanted in my face. "DO YOU WANT EGGS AND BAKEY!" Mom yells, I bolt for the door barely missing a hot frying pan I catch a piece of bacon. I run for a couple blocks then after I've passed all the goons, I slow my pace a bit eat my bacon as a car rolls up next to me the window sliding down, "You need a ride baby-cakes?" Mom asks from the stolen Ferrari, I get in and she blabbers about boys and being responsible, and picking a tough guy like dad. She's speeding by the way, good thing Bat Man is a night guy. I reach into her purse to grab a pencil covered in blood, I don't even ask, I feel a piece of paper and quickly shove it into my backpack she brought. Mom never writes. We arrive early to school as always and she speeds off as soon as I get out of the car. I sulk in an alley across a street as always until the gates open, I forgot all about the paper. Thinking about tonight and all a things my peers will say about them, if only I knew, soon I would be added to that list.
