"Awkward...." Wally spoke, breaking the silence.

|The following day|
After the events of the previous night, Batman brought in Black Canary. She bombarded the team with the "sex talk" and claimed it was "just to be safe". Artemis had already been through the talk many times with her sister, her mom, and her fourth grade nurse. Each time the talk only got more disturbing, but that was nothing compared to the talk with Canary. As Artemis made her way through the courtyard and to her first class, those thoughts crossed her mind.
She walked into her calculus class and noticed the sleeping figure of Dick Grayson at his desk. She never really paid attention to the kid until now... He had over a 100% in this class whereas Artemis was just barely at an 80%. 'How can a small little freshman who skipped a grade be smarter than a sophomore like me?' Artemis thought to herself as she watched the boy doze off, his head resting on the desk. There were a few other kids in the room, along with Dick's redheaded friend Barbara who Artemis had met yesterday. She was at a desk next to Dick (what a surprise) and was laying back in her chair, fighting tiredness as well. Eventually more students started to file in, until every desk had a student. The bell rang, and the teacher entered just in time, with a textbook wrapped under her arm.
"Good morning class, today we will- Grayson! Wake up." The older woman snapped to the young boy across the room. He instantly shot up like he had in World History class yesterday, and rubbed his eyes.
"Uh- well I already finished this weeks homework and did all the notes, so can I sleep now?" He asked.
"Mr. Grayson; I will not allow any of my students in this class to sleep- now get your head off of that desk!" The teacher demanded, only getting herself a nonchalant response from Dick.
"Well you see... I have over an 100% in this class, and I have never missed any points. So if I wanna sleep, I will sleep." His tone was a bit dark, and you could hear the aggravation in his voice. Artemis had never seen him talk like this in calculus or any class for that matter, so she was a bit surprised. The kid knew how to stand his ground and talk back, that's for sure...
The teacher, knowing he was right, ignored him and began her teaching. A few of the students giggled a bit at the conversation that had just happened, which earned them a glare from the old calculus teacher. Her gray hair was sprawled over her wrinkly skin, and her dress was a bit too tight for someone her size.
Artemis slumped in her chair a bit, trying to pay attention. However her mind was elsewhere, and she couldn't seem to focus. Who the hell was Robin?
After hearing the old teacher's boring lecture, the bell finally rang dismissing the class. Artemis then went through the rest of her classes, finally reaching World History class. She wanted to get this day over with and continue the investigation... She wanted to find out now. Considering Dick shared the final class of the day with her, he sat on the other side of the room, writing notes. He stopped to yawn, and then continued writing.
Artemis couldn't help but notice something; something she familiarized with. Aside from yesterday, where had she seen this kid before? Outside of school maybe?
When the bell rang once again announcing the end of the day, Artemis snapped back into her thoughts. That was when she realized she had been a bit creepy watching the young boy. But he was so familiar.
Artemis was now in the hallway, on her way to the courtyard. It was a bit of a walk, but she could handle it. Students crowded the wide hallways, walking left and right. The emerald archer almost had a heart attack when she heard a loud bang ring throughout the hallway, and heard screams of other students. All students quickly got onto the ground, along with Artemis herself. They sat coward on the floor, tears already streaming down some of the student's faces. Children between the ages of fourteen and seventeen were scattered along the floor, along with their belongings. Artemis couldn't help but be a bit scared herself...
"Where is Richard Grayson?"
A man with a black mask covering his face shouted across the hallway, a large machine gun in his hands. He walked by each student, searching for Dick. Artemis looked around the corner of the hallway, and saw Dick leaned up against the wall obviously hiding. But why didn't he look scared?
Artemis was definitely scared for him; he was a nice kid. She didn't want anything bad happening to him...
"Answer me NOW!" The masked man shouted. Suddenly another man with a large gun and a mask covering his face entered the hallway as well. Dick was all the way on the other side of the hallway, crouched down. Out of the corner of her eye, the archer noticed the small boy was gone, and his bag was there where he left it. Artemis slowly crawled by, almost to the corner of the hallway. When the masked men had their backs turned, she stealthily slid around the corner, not making a sound. She needed to find help... These people were out for Dick's blood.
