Roy narrowed his eyes at her and Becca stared at him calmly. He smiled and turned to Artemis.
“She's definatly a keeper. Don't let this one go.”
“I won't!” Artemis exclaimed proudly.
“Okay smarty,” Wally stated. “If you can pin point people so well, do him.”
Wally pointed to a black haired boy smaller than the last.
“Easy. Gymnast. Star of the team, mathlete as well. Excels at just about everything. Hides behind a mask of kindness to keep people at arm's length though he never use to. His father is a rich man and his son gets whatever he wants. But it isn't enough and he has to keep searching. Might be called a cold prince of Hell by some”-Becca looked at Artemis-“but has more emotion than anyone can see.”
Becca looked down at her hands, a blush appearing on her face. Wally looked at her with a tilted head and Zatanna seemed a little tense at the mentioning of the boy. Artemis and Roy shared a look before they all turned to Becca.
“How do you know all that about him?” Artemis asked.
“His name?”
“Dick Grayson. Adopted son of Bruce Wayne.”
Becca nodded.
“He was in the same circus I was when we were young. Before he lost his parents I mean. He was my friend.” Becca smiled a little. “I haven't seen him in four years. Excuse me.”
Becca got up and left the table, heading towards the restrooms. The others looked at each other before getting up to follow her.
“Becca?”
Said girl looked up at Artemis and Zatanna. She had gone against the restrooms and had headed to the library. This way, she could hide anywhere. Roy and Wally followed behind the two girls. Becca looked away as they sat down beside her.
“What's wrong Becca?” Artemis asked.
“Nothing really.”
“Becca,” Zatanna whispered. “I don't have to know magic to see that something is wrong.”
Becca shook her head. They may be her new friends, but she wasn't too keen on opening up to anyone right now. But she guessed she owed them an explanation.
“Becca, why did you run off?”
Becca looked down, too embarrassed to look at them.
“When we were growing up together, we use to have THE biggest crushes on each other,” Becca explained. “Seeing him as a teenager at this school.....it's a little much to comprehend. I never wanted to loose our friendship but when he moved away, I didn't see him after that. He's famous now. He's rich, grown up, and has other friends. I just want to be his friend again. Even if it never grows to more than that.”
Artemis glanced around and opened her mouth to speak. The bell rang, cutting her off.
“I've got to get to class,” Becca said.
She scooped up her books and bag, leaving the others behind. Artemis watched her leave before turning to Wally.
“We may have use of that flirting factor Wally.”
His grin was huge as he stood.
“On it. Oh Becca~!”
“She's definatly a keeper. Don't let this one go.”
“I won't!” Artemis exclaimed proudly.

Prologue-
White Star Lines, Southampton, England
06:47 BST, December 15, 1911
“Hey Jim!” I called out.
“Good Morning Miss Orname!” the worker called back.
I grinned widely and continued my walk through the construction yard. Up ahead was the crown jewel White Star Lines had been working on: the Titanic. Unsinkable, the largest ship ever, and it was going to bring a lot of money to my dad and he could retire and move back to Scotland.
My name is Tiana Orname and this is one heck of a story of my life.

My name is Tiana Orname and this is one heck of a story of my life.
All I could think about was the past. Staring at my brothers body, it made it harder to forget. Fang making fart jokes at the school through our cages trying to make me laugh. Me jumping on the bed trying to wake Fang up, laughing when I "accidentally" kicked him where it counts, him shoving me off the bed and onto the floor I stood there the past drowning out the battle in the background. I felt hands on my shoulders, followed by shaking.
"Nudge? Nudge c'mon! We've gotta go this place is gonna blow!" I didn't budge. Still lost in sea of emotions I choked down a sob as tears filled my eyes.
Yeah, yeah. I know it's short
