Bethany POV

        The next day, I almost slept in. If it hadn't been for Artemis that came and pounded on the door at 7:00 am yelling, "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty!!!" then I wouldn't have woken up at all. I slept for about 20 minutes more until I actually got up. I hadn't gone to bed until really late last night, but luckily, I had done all of my homework before my shower yesterday. I looked in the mirror that morning and I had slight dark circles underneath my eyes and my hair was really flat. I was way too lazy to worry about makeup, so I just washed my face and then did a sloppy french braid.

        My wounds were already healing at an unnatural speed, thanks to Zatara and Martian Manhunter. They healed my body a little bit everyday. After a whole week of magical healing, my body was fully healed. There were only some scabs and bruises on my upper body. No more cracked ribs, dislocated knee, and God knows what else.

        When I got to the kitchen, M'gann was already cooking up some eggs and toast. She had organized them all onto styrofoam plates on the counter with a to-go cup of orange juice.

        "Hi, Bethany! How was your sleep?" She asked me brightly. Ugh! She's too cheerful in the morning. WHY?!

        I mumbled something unidentifiable in response.

        "Just take a plate and a cup and you can go. It's already 7:30, doesn't your school start at 7:45?" I nodded.

        "Artemis already left. She said something about going to a morning detention," M'gann tapped her chin.

        "Aren't you going to be late for school?"

        "No, Connor and I get to school around 8: 20. Our school starts at 8:30."

        "Not fair," I grumbled,.

        "Don't forget training with Black Canary today after school!"

        "Yeah, yeah," I murmured. I acted nonchalant about training, but in reality, I was extremely nervous. I would definitely not be able to keep up with the Team after having done no physical activity for about a week and three days. Yeah, according to Robin, I had been unconscious for three days after my fight with Devastation. I took a swig of orange juice before walking off to the zeta tubes. One of the great parts about living in the cave is that you can zeta to a destination close to Gotham Academy, and then just walk there. It takes about 1 minute for me to get to school. If M'gann was always going to cook breakfast for me, then I would just sleep in every day.

        I took a bite out of my egg and almost gagged. There was so much salt on it, it tasted like I took a gulp of seawater. Oh, God. Scratch that previous thought about M'gann always cooking breakfast. I quickly threw it away and downed the orange juice instead.

        Looking around the courtyard, I didn't spot anyone that I knew. So I sat on the ledge of the fountain and took out my phone. Guess I'll be sitting here for ten minutes. I was just in the process of writing a text to Artemis to see if she would get in trouble for having her phone in detention, when a shadow appeared on the pavement in front of me.

        "Well, look who it is," An annoyingly deep voice growled at me. I looked up to see, none other than Brady himself, "It's the brat that humiliated me in front of the whole art class." Behind him, he had about five skinny guys with floppy hair were snickering behind him.
