"You know, it's funny," Bette says. "You miss school all the time, right?"

"I get sick a lot," Artemis says, using the default lie drilled into her and her friends' brains by Batman. It's not like she can explain to her school friend that she's part of the Team.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. But whenever you get sick, Dick Grayson, that freshman, gets sick too. I've never seen a day of school where you're here and he isn't, and vice versa."

"Huh. Coincidence." But Artemis's mind is already whizzing. Who is this Dick Grayson? Wasn't he that kid who ran up to her on the first day of school and took a picture? Weirdo. But does she know him? Maybe he's a super villain. Or he's following the Team's movements.

Or it could just be a coincidence.

"Are you sure?"

Bette flips her hair. "Absolutely. My cousin Barbara, she's got this huge crush on him. So she totally pays attention to his sick days."

Maybe... Maybe Artemis should do some looking into this Dick kid. She could contact the cave, but it's about time she took initiative, right?

"It's not that big of a deal," Bette says. "We've got to get to class."

"You go on ahead. I'll just..."

"Don't think about it, Artemis. I just thought it was funny."

"I'm not! I've got to go talk to my... math teacher."

"Okay! See you in class!"

But instead of heading for the math building, Artemis walks towards the freshmen locker area. How on earth is she supposed to find this kid? And will he tell her what he knows? Or is it just a coincidence? Better safe than sorry. Every day she's missed school for a mission, he has too. That's got to mean something.

It's lucky, actually, that she runs into him in the courtyard. Of all the odds.

"Oh, hey Art- I mean, sorry, accident," he says, keeping his eyes low, brushing past her.

"No! Wait! You're Dick Grayson, right?"

"Um, yeah. But I don't know you. Just an underclassman." He doesn't even turn back to face her. Definitely hiding something.

"Wait a second..." With one swift movement, she grabs Dick Grayson by the shoulder and turns him around to meet his eyes.

She knows that face. It's familiar, somehow, the shape, but something's different. His eyes...

"You ran up to me on the first day of school and took a photo. 'We'll laugh about this someday,' you said. What did you mean?"

"Uh, look, I really got to get to class."

"No! Bette said you'd been missing from school every day I have. What do you know?"

"Look, you're acting way too chalant, just-"

Then it sinks in, and he shuts up.

"Robin?"

He laughs nervously. "Who's Robin?"

"Oh my God, it is you!" She snaps her fingers, finally placing the face. It's the boy wonder. Of course. Dick Grayson must be his secret identity. And she's found it out!

We'll laugh about this someday. Of course! He knew that someday she'd figure it out, and then- that's hilarious!

She bursts out laughing. "And to think, I've been going to school with you all this time, completely oblivious!"

"Shh! What if someone hears you?"

"But you knew, didn't you? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Only Wally knows, okay? Just... don't tell anyone."

"Of course not. But that's so cool! We go to school together!"

"C'mon, Artemis. We can talk back at the cave, okay?"

She's giggling uncontrollably now. "Maybe we can carpool! Take the bioship to school. Oh, Bette would love that..."

"Artemis, you can't be seen talking with me, a freshman. Not only is is socially unacceptable, but we can't let anybody else connect the dots."

"But you're not just a freshman! You're my friend!"

"Outside of school, okay?"

"Can't we at least talk, Robin?"

"Dick!"

"That's an unfortunate name, right there. I prefer Robin."

"Whoa, what's that over there?"

"What?" Artemis turns to look, then realizes he's just playing her. But when she turns back, Robin's gone.

"Ugh, I hate it when he does that!"

And then, off in the distance, that characteristic laugh of his. Darn that mischievous kid.

Bette runs up. "Artemis! The math building is that way. And what were you doing with a freshman?"

"He's my friend."

"You guys seem pretty friendly."

"Yeah, I guess." He's only, like, one my best friends. Oh, and did I mention we're superheroes together? Yup, that was Robin, the Boy Wonder, right there. Alias Dick Grayson.
