Lyra looks to the teacher and helps Pietro with the exercises. For her this was easy. Tony has taught her this a few weeks after he adopted her. Tony has begun just months later to let her make a test for the colleges and learns that she was very intelligent. Fury has used her intelligence to make shield safer and so also Hydra. But she knows that Fury was in her side. He has visited yesterday and let delete her fills at shield.
"Miss Romanoff-Stark. If you are so good with this, can you explain it on the board", the teacher calls her. Lyra flinches and looks at her, nods. Lyra goes to the board and begins to show the way to solve. She smiles and looks at the teacher.
"My father has taught me this four years ago", she says, "I just explained to Pietro how to solve it." She goes back and sits down. The others look at her. Lyra ignores them and waits that the period ends. After this Lyra's next period will be Spanish. She loves languages and has learned Spanish as a child in Hydra. They taught her many languages to go on missions all over the world.
"Do we need this stuff in our future lifetime?", Pietro asks her, and she looks at him. How could she answer?
"I will need it in my future as heir of Stark Industries and to hacking Jarvis code in the future, so that my family doesn't know that you are in my room", she replies whispering and smiling. He sighs and nods.
"Okay but I never required math in Sokovia. We are going to help people in the future. If Ross wouldn't forbid it to us minors we would be Avengers. But because of him we need to wait till we are eighteen", Pietro whispers back and Lyra smiles weak.
"I don't want to be an Avenger. I had enough fights in my life. Only if they fight the big three I would fight with them. Aliens, wizards, or androids. Eventually just aliens and wizards. The last android I saw, shot me down", Lyra answers and gets up after the teacher ends the lesson. Lyra takes headphones and sighs take them over her ears. It has helped last time better. Her ears are more sensible as two years before. Pietro and Wanda follow Lyra, which follows Peter. The four teenagers have the exact same periods. Tony has talk and paid a lot for this.
"Lyra. Stop. I haven't greeted you", Liz comes to her with the biggest fake smile she has ever seen. Lyra looks at her and giggles.
"Sorry, but do I know you? I am not sure if I can remember you", Lyra replies and smirks, "Are you Lisa or Liv? No, that seems wrong. I know it now. You are Leah! Like the princess in Star Wars." Other students look at both and Liz stops to smile. Lyra calm down.
"Who are you to call me wrong names? Everyone knows that you are just a freak that was sent away from Stark. It seems like I was right and you are his big disappointment.
"Oh, sorry. My father doesn't send me away. I was in Europe and learned a lot for the future and about my past. My biological family are famous in the north of it. You might be heard about my older brothers", she says and stops as Pietro lays his hand in her shoulder.
"You should stop before you tell her without knowing about the last two years", Wanda says in Sokovian, "You were the one that wants to hide everything about this even your arm. How will you do this later in gym lessons?" Lyra nods weakly and knows that Wanda is right. But she also needs a plan how she can hide her secret. Even her scars would shock many of them.
"I think I need to learn from my brother how to create illusionary magic", she says frustrated and goes to the next class with her friends. Peter looks suspicious at Lyra and Pietro. He seems better to find it out as the adults in her family. But he doesn't say anything.
„Next time you can reply to her that your parents choose you and her parents haven't a choice to have her", Pietro suggests her this and smiles. She laughs and nods. This was a good contra to her provocative comments.
"Good idea", she replies and sits down next to Peter. Pietro looks at her and searches a place and sits in a table behind her.
"Do you and he have a thing?", Peter asks her in Spanish. She looks up and think how to answer.
"We like each other, but we haven't talked about it", she answers him and leans back, smiles weakly. She looks back to Pietro and Wanda, smiles to them. She looks forward as the Spanish teacher comes in and stares at him.
"Is she new?", Lyra asks Peter and stares at the teacher. He looks to the small group and smirks.
"Yes she begins this school year to teach the Spanish class", Peter answers, "Why do you ask?" Lyra looks to the twins.
"She looks familiar", she says to them.
"What do you mean?", Wanda asks her and looks at the teacher.
"I don't know", she says and looks at her Spanish teacher. She can't remember why, but she knows that this can't be good.
"Good morning. I would like it if the new ones can  introduce themselves", she says with a smile. Lyra and the twins stand on.
"I am Pietro Maximoff and this is my sister Wanda", Pietro introduces them and his accent she's clearly that he isn't American. She looks at him and nods.
"Okay. From which country do you two are? You have an interesting accent", she asks him and leans against her table. They look to her.
"We are from Sokovia", Wanda answers calm and looks to her, "We get help from the US and moved to America." Lyra looks at her and can see that her hands are shaking. Even that she is mad at her, she doesn't like Wanda stressed. Both sit down and only Lyra is still standing.
"Oh ehm yes...", she mumbles and looks to her teacher, "I am Lyra Romanoff-Stark. I was two years ago a student here and came back from a long trip." She looks and the teacher nods.
"Romanoff and Stark like Natasha Romanoff and Tony Stark?", the teacher asks her and Lyra nods uncomfortably.
"Yes. They are my parents", she answers and looks at her. A small grin is on the teacher's face.  She nods and Lyra sits down. This was a strange moment.
"I am sure she was sent away by her father", Liz voice reaches Lyra's ear even that the girl whispered it to another girl. Liz laughs and the other girl looks back to Lyra, doesn't answer Liz comments.
"Okay we're beginning with the period. Open your books and starts reading page 342", the teacher says and goes between the tables, looks at all. Lyra opens her book and feels the teacher's glare at her. She can't remember where she has seen this woman. Lyra looks to them and starts reading. She can feel from Pietro and Wanda that they feel dumb here. Lyra looks up.
"Pietro, change your place with me. Peter will help you and I help Wanda with Spanish", she whispers to him. He looks up and nods. They change silent to their places and Lyra looks to Wanda. Wanda seems relieved that Lyra will help her.
"Let us read together", Lyra says and helps her with the text. Wanda sighs frustrated.
"Why are languages so easy for you? English was so hard to learn and now Spanish", she asks frustrated. Lyra looks at her and takes her hand.
"It's okay. I had eighty years to learn it and was in these countries. You were never in Spain or America as you learned the language. I also was forced to learn it as an experiment", she reminds her calm and smiled forced, "I think also it's an Asgardian thing. Loki and Thor also love learning languages. Wanda looks at her.
"Thor and learning? That doesn't fit in my eyes", Wanda replies and smirks. Lyra laughs and nods. She can't contradict this. Loki was the smarter one, but Thor was also not an idiot. She was surprised a few days ago as she swears in Russian, that he replied it.
"I know what you mean. But both are over a thousand years old. They have learned a lot", she answers and smiles, "To say this is crazy. This age gap is incredible. I must be a surprise for my biological parents." Lyra smirks and leans back, takes her phone and tries to make a photo of her teacher to send it to Natasha.
"You put your phone in your pocket, or I need to confiscate it from you. Phones are forbidden in my classes", the teacher says seriously. Lyra looks at her and just nod, put it back. How could she check this woman? The bell rings and ends the class. Lyra packs her things and calm down a bit.
"Let us go in the cafeteria. They made pizza today", Peter says and looks at them, "You can all sit with me and our friends. Ned and MJ know Lyra from her first time in school." Lyra nods and grabs her bag.
"Okay and let me guess after lunch we have gym lessons?", Lyra asks sarcastically. Peter nods.
"Of course. What is a day without a bit of drama?", he asks and leads them to the cafeteria.
