Tamara's P.O.V.

"Wait. How about we put the picture there and then the information there. Then we'll have more room for all the other information" "True, but then what about the pop-ups? We won't be able to fit them in that layout." Dick and I have gotten majority of the work done for our assignments and we are now working on our Shakespeare poster for our English assignment. Right now we can't seem to get the layout right and it's starting to get late and it was now 6:30. My parents would be worried that something had happened to me, though they know that I am perfectly capable of protecting my self, so I think I should call them later. "Ughhh......This is annoying. I'm gonna get changed" I said as I got up to grab my spare bag that I had brought with the extra clothes in it. "Good idea. You can use my bathroom if you want. I'll stay in out here and see if I can figure out a solution to this mess." Dick suggested as he got up to stretch. Thats right It's now 6:30 and wear still not out of our stupid school uniforms. "Okay be out on a tick" I said and headed to the bathroom to get changed. I had brought a pair of denim shorts, a loose short sleeve top that was a baby blue with a green peace sign in the middle, a white singlet to wear underneath and some sandals to go with it. I pulled everything on and stuffed my uniform into my bag.

I walked out of the bathroom quietly so that I could sneak up on Dick cause I knew he would be facing the other way. I closed the door, being very careful not to make any noise, I turned around then I was struck still in my spot like I had looked into the eyes of Medusa and turned to stone. In front of me stood Dick with nothing but a pair of old looking shorts. He was going through his draws when he turned around to see me, he jumped back from surprise then fell to the floor with a loud Thud! I quickly snapped out of my daze and ran over to him so I could help him up. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you. You okay?" I questioned nervously. It was then that I noticed his muscular arms and well defined six pack. "Yeah I'm fine. I was just shocked to see you standing there behind me. Wait...How long were you standing there?" He asked with an eye brow raised. "Um about 30 seconds-1minute max" I answered slightly embarrassed. Thud Thud Thud!! I jumped and turned to face the door getting startled by the loud knocking coming from it. "Master Dick, Miss Tamara. May I come in?" Alfred's kind voice called from outside the door. I relaxed a bit when I realised that it was only him. "Sure thing Alfred" Dick answered and I turned to look at Dick only to see that he was now wearing an old baggy shirt. Dang it!!

Alfred opened the door to the room and inspected the mess that we had made with all the paper and craft stuff we had been using. "Sorry about the mess" I said sheepishly "Not to worry Miss Tamara, but your parents have called and would like to speak to you" "Oh okay" I was surprised they called cause I have no idea how they got Dick's house number. I grabbed the phone from Alfred's hands and answering the phone. "Hello Tamara speaking" "Hello Tammy, how's your work getting along?" My mother asked, relief could be heard in her voice and I knew she had been worrying. "Oh, great actually. We are getting so much done. Though we still have some work to do but most of its done." "Fabulous! Now sweetie I have to talk to you about something..." "Can't it wait till I get home?" I asked in a whiney voice. "No but that is what I want to talk about. There's a bad storm brewing and it looks like it will start pelting down any minute now. I'm surprised you didn't sense it with your 'abilities' but doesn't matter. Anyway, to get home it would take at least 30minutes and the roads are becoming bumper to bumper with everyone trying to make their way home before the storm hits so it will probably take longer than that!"

"Could you please just skip to the point. I still have some work to do." "Yes, sorry. Well, your father and I have agreed that, if it was okay with Mr Wayne of course, you could stay there for the night. You have your extra clothes that I told you to pack so you should be fine in those for the night." "Wait your actually letting me stay over at someones house for a night?!" I asked completely shocked "Yes we are, but not without a lot of discussion first" My father said from the other side of the line probably listening to the conversation "You mean arguing" "No I mean discussion." He said sternly before continuing. "But just remember, you are in a house with only three men and you know what could happen....." "Dad relax. First of all, one of them is my friend and second, I'm begging you please don't go there. I don't want to have that though in the back of my mind while I'm here.You know know that I'm perfectly capable of handling myself and others around me" "Yeah I know. but your my little girl and I don't wan' t anything to happen to you" "I'm not so little anymore dad" "You know you'll always be my little girl. Even when you have kids of your own, you will still be my little girl." I smiled at this knowing that my family loved me and that they will always be there to look after me.

"Now back on topic" My mother stated probably taking the phone away from my Dad before he gets to emotional. Out of my Parents my Mum is the toughie and my Dad is the feelings, emotional and sensitive guy. "Could you ask them if it would be okay for you to stay over but keep in mind that there will be no sneaking out to the city tonight cause we will know and it will also be extra dangerous tonight with the rain and the loonies out" I laugh at this then tuned towards Dick and Alfred then ask "Would it be okay if I stay here for the night because my Mum says that it's bumper to bumper traffic and there is a massive storm on the way?" "Of course" They both said at the same time "I'll go and tell Master Bruce at once" Alfred said before leaving to find Bruce. "They said it was fine if I stay here for the night. I think I should be fine" I said into the phone "Great! Now that that's sorted we can finally relax....Well I will but you know how your father is. He'll be up all night worrying his head off." We both laughed "Hey if he does just give him one of your famous massages and he should be out like a light in no time" "Yeah your right. Well, goodnight dear and remember you are in a house full of men. Don't let your guard down for one second" "Yes I know mum. Good night and sleep tight" I said before my Mum laughed and hung up from her end of the phone.

"So, staying here for the night now are we?" Dick asked with a smirk on his face "Yes and I'm amazed cause my parents never let me sleep over at someones house unless they're there or it's at a relatives house." I said and we started laughing. "Master Dick, Miss Tamara. Dinner is ready." Alfred called from downstairs. "Well, I hope you like Nachos cause thats whats on the menu, and your lucky it's Friday because normally we have some kind of dessert afterwards" dick said as we started walking out of the room. "Race you to the kitchen!" I yelled and stated to run through the house towards the kitchen "Hey wait up!" he yelled and started running after me. I wasn't even going my full speed, if I was to describe my full speed I would say about the same as the flash's limit but if I were to get little extra power boost or push myself to the furthest limit then I could probably go twice that speed.

Anyway, he was right. For once.......I didn't really know where I was going but I was counting on my great sense of smell, another 'Ability' that I have. I'll just let you know now that I have many 'Abilities' that mainly have something to do with animals nature and superstitions of our world (you will find out more later) but not many people know about them besides my parents and a couple of other people. Though I only tell them my basics abilities that are only small and non threatening while I train my other abilities and keep them a secret from the world. The sense of smell is one of my basic abilities, it allows me to have the same sense of smell as dogs. This meant I could smell nearly everything in the house, including the smell of the Nachos. I followed the smell of food and soon ended up in the kitchen where I saw Alfred putting food onto three plates. Wait why three? Who's the person missing out on dinner? I tapped Alfred on the shoulder and he quickly whipped around with a scared look. He jumped when he saw me then relaxed once he realised it was me. "Oh my word, you scared the living daylight out of me!" he said then turned back towards what he was doing. "Alfred, why are there only three plates when there are four of us?" I asked confused with an eyebrow raised. Alfred stiffened for a second and if you were a normal person then you wouldn't have't noticed it, but then again, I'm not normal so I did notice. "Oh master Bruce won't be joining us tonight. He has some work to do at the office so he will be home late." He said then turned around to face me with two plates in his hand. "Could you please put the lid over the pot then turn off the stove. Also could you bring out that other plate so that it saves me a trip?" He asked/ordered and I just nodded my reply before he turned towards the door that separated the kitchen from the dining room then walked through it. Nice man. I thought as I did as I was told.

I then walked out the door that Alfred had exited from then found Dick talking with Alfred and the plates on the table. They stopped talking once they saw me enter the room and Dick flashed me a smile/smirk that looked adorable......Okay just forget I ever said that. I returned the smile then placed the plate that I had in my hand onto the table. "So...Are there any seating arrangements cause I don't want to sit in someones seat?" "Well normally Maser Bruce would sit at the head of the table then Master Dick and I would sit on either side of him sitting opposite each other. Though we have decided that you will be sitting next to Master Dick and I will be seated opposite you" Alfred informed me and as I was walking to my chair Dick walked over to it and before I could do anything he pulled out the chair and gestured for me to sit. He then pushed my chair in and took a seat next to me. That night was full of questions that went around the table that every one had to answer. Dick and I started to play footsies under the table and so far I was winning! It then turned into an all out kicking fest and in the end Alfred had to sit in between us, which may I say was very awkward for both myself and Dick. This didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would have, and at least I can tease Artemis about being such a worry wart.
