Maria pov
Dick, Oliver, and Dinah were helping me move into my dorm at Star City University. Dick was constantly stealing kisses from me. This past summer we had grown closer. I with out a doubt loved him.
"Will you two get a room already?" Oliver groaned. I laughed and escaped Dick's arms.
"I could say the same about you and Dinah." I Said as I put up the posters from last year.
"Hey that's different, we're married." Oliver said pointing at me.
"I'm aware," I Said.
Dick just smiled. I took some photos and hung them up on my bulletin board along with my class schedule and calendar.
"Hey that's from Verona." Dick Said as he pointed at a picture of us from the summer.
"I know," I Said as I kept hanging the photos up.
They weren't all of Dick and I, a couple had the original Young Justice team members in it, excluding Wally. I'd gotten to know the original team and we got close. I took a photo of Dinah, Oliver and I and hung it up also.

I sat on the roof of the dorm building finishing an equation before heading out for the night. The first thing I had to do was get my team back together.
I went to Dylan's apartment and knocked on his bedroom door. I knew he still lived there, I had Oliver keep an eye on him over the summer.
Dylan came to the window and let me in.
"Call the team." I smiled.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"Gotham," I Said.
"Why didn't you let us know you you were okay?" He asked as he called the rest of the team.
"Deathstroke was hunting me, I couldn't come back." I Said.
"But you're back now?" He asked.
"Because Slade's moved on. He's in Australia last I heard." I Said.
"Be careful tonight." Dylan said as he got our old set up running. I took and ear piece and put it in my ear.
I then left and dealt with the bit of crime that went on that night on campus.
The next morning, after getting two hours of sleep I got up and went to the coffee shop and got coffee before going to my dance class.
My routine followed pretty similar to last year. Classes in the morning, I quite the archery so my afternoon was free to study and sleep.

"Maria!" Someone shouted as they pounded on me door.
I lifted my head from under my pillow. I lifted my head and I had over slept. I had slept all morning. I got up and quickly changed out of my Zodiac suit and threw it and my bow and quiver in the closet. I got dressed and answered the door.
Evelyn from my journalism class stood out room. Her arms were crossed across her chest and she looked furious.
"Where were you today?" She demanded.
"I'm sorry I over slept." I Said. I looked over and saw my alarm clock was flashing the wrong time.
"Well do you have it?" She asked.
"Have what?" I asked as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.
"You said you would send me a photo of Zodiac. I needed that photo to be part of my article that we had to turn in last night." She complained.
"Oh I'm so sorry I forgot. I'm so sorry. I know her personally. I could set up an interview with her. If that could make it up." I Said.
Our journalism class had become obsessed with Zodiac. The entire class knew I had contacts with Zodiac, so they were always begging me for photos and interviews. I'd give them the photos, if the gave me the proper photo credit, but interviews were only exclusive to myself.
"You better," Evelyn said.
"Here I'll send it to you. Now." I Said.
She followed me in and she watched me as I emailed her.
"Thank you, do you think you could schedule the interview for sometimes this week?" She asked.
"I don't know, I'll tell her but she operates by her own schedule." I Said.
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"I mean she may show up at three am for the interview." I Said.
"Alright thank you," she hugged me and ran out.
"She seems like an interesting person." I spun around and saw Dick standing in the doorway of my bathroom.
"Hey," I went over and kissed him.
"I barely know her, she's just in my journalism class. They're obsessed with Zodiac, so they're always asking for photos." I Said.
"Interesting. I wonder if Clark ever has that same problem." He said.
"So are you ready for our date?" He asked.
"Let me get ready then we can go." I Said. I put myself together then we left to have a picnic on campus.
We had our lunch and as we let out food settle we cloud gazed while chatting about different things.
"Maria what are you doing?" Tasha from my theater class asked.
I checked my watch and we had class in ten minutes.
"I've gotta go." I Said as I got up and helped Dick pack the picnic basket back up.
I kissed his cheek and sprinted to my room and grabbed my stuff. I put my suit on and grabbed my bow and a grappling. Arrow before taking the quickest way to the auditorium.
I changed in a closet and then ran to class Barely making it on time. I really should have been more aware of the time.
