BLÜDHAVEN
12:27 AM LOCAL TIME

The cold air felt so nice on her face. Being stuck inside all day was the pure definition of hell for Mar'i Grayson.

"Didn't your father tell you not to go out on your own?"  Robin's voice came from behind her.

She smiled and bit her lip.

"Didn't yours tell you not to sneak up on ladies?"

"He doesn't get his chivalry from his father I can tell you that." Superboy laughed.

Mar'i turned around.

She brought her knees to her chest and smiled.

"Hello." Robin greeted.

"Hi!" She waved.

"How are you settling in?" Superboy asked.

She thought for a moment.

MONDAY
She stayed in her room. Dick had grounded her for sneaking out.

TUESDAY
She read thirty Academia books necessary to get caught up in public school. She tried human pasta. She liked it.

WEDNESDAY
Robin 'anonymously' dropped off Gotham and Blüdhaven villains. She read them all in one night.

THURSDAY
Mar'i and Jason Todd had a long conversation. He kissed her on the forehead and left through her window.

It was currently Friday.

"Nothing special." She shrugged.

It was true.

She figured it out almost immediately. The obvious marks on his body, his strong build, and the fact that whenever Nightwing was mentioned on the news his physically tensed. All this and... Jason Todd practically told her.

An alley cat watched the three teenagers from below the building. Mar'i turned and stared at it.

"I want a dog or maybe a cat. Human animals are so interesting. All Tamaranean animals will kill you... well, maybe not the dragons..."
