2 Ch.2

I hated school back in my old life and it is just as bad in this one, though the only bright side was that I didn't have to wear a uniform at this one. Gotham Private High was private school though it was lax in its dress code so long as it was something modest, so I was able to dress how I want.

"Mister Forge, do you find my class so boring to not pay attention?" I was snapped out of my attention and looked forward and grimaced as I was catch when spacing out.

"No sir, sorry sir." I said in a slightly apologetic tone as I looked at him. I could tell that he was still somewhat mad at me he seemed willingly to forgive me as he turned his attention back to the board. Honestly, I hated History class has memorizing things like dates wasn't my strong suit in my old life though this time I decided to put in the extra effort. What was weird was that I was reading and trying to remember the information I could feel a slight pain in my head.

The pain I felt wasn't anything that would make me cry out in pain, but it did make my flinch for a second. When the pain subsided to the I could feel that something was different, but I brushed it off. As I kept was reading and trying to remember the information I was surprised as I could feel the information sinking in far better than how it was previously. I could only grin as I know knew that my adaptation was able to increase my brain's ability.

'I wonder how far I could push this.' I though to myself as a heard a bell signifying the end of my class. I got up and for the first time I realized just how out of place I am as I was far taller than any other of the teenagers. I was roughly 6'6" while the rest where the rest where barely over 6'1" so I towered over everyone else. The downside to this was that It made it difficult to traverse as I had to be careful in not stepping on someone's shoes or knocking someone down.

Still even with that I was able to make it through the day with no accidents and with no one really bugging me. Apparently, my body's old person was extremely quiet though now knowing how his father behavior it was reasonable to assume the reason why. Though now that I'm here that is going to change if only slightly bit by bit as to not raise suspicion.

I was happy that my last class was AP Biology as it was something, I loved in my old life, I was excited to see what this class was like. Throughout the class was entertaining and engaging which was far better than all the other classes that seemed dry and slow. The teacher Miss Fincher honestly seemed to love teaching though the thing she told us at the end of class got my attention.

"Okay class today we will be assigning topics for your end of year presentation." I was excited slightly for the project as it wouldn't take much effort to get something done though her next words worried me. "And you will be assigned a partner." When she said that I felt as if something somewhere was laughing at me because when my name was called, I was apparently partnered up with Barbara Gordan.

'Shit!' I looked from my spot and looked for her and saw that she was seating in the front row next to another girl, likely a friend of hers. She looked back at me and I could see a grimace on her face. I guess she was thinking a was a meat head even though I was in an AP class. Well, I guess she and I aren't going to be friends anytime soon.

When class ended and everyone was getting out, I noticed Barbara was waiting in the classroom, so I stopped next to here. I cleared my throat and looked down at her as she much shorter than me, "So Miss Gordon when do you think meet up to start the project." I asked in a calm tone. I could see the slight surprised as she most likely thought I was going to push it on her and not do any work.

I could see her clear her throat before she looked at me, "How about tomorrow after school at the Gotham Library on main?" I simply nodded as I defiantly wasn't going to be allowing her near my house.

"Okay, I guess I will see you then Miss Gordon." I said as I walked into the hallway, I didn't bother to look back at her. The thing I need to worry about is finding a spot where I can push myself so that my body will become stronger.

Barbara POV

I watched as my partner walked down the hallway it was almost comical seeing how tall he was in comparison to everyone else. There was something that all ways confused me about him, he was very strong but didn't join any sports teams. He also didn't make any friends with anyone at least it didn't seem like he did.

I was going to follow him before I felt a familiar buzz coming from my phone. I pulled it out and noticed that Robin had sent me a text saying that Alfred was going to be picking me up. I immediately sent a text to my dad telling him I was going to hang out with a friend and staying at her place. I immediately received and okay from him and made my way out of the school and to where Alfred will pick me up.

By the time I made it out of the building I could see Alfred standing by the car with a door opening waiting for me. "Hello Alfred." I said with a smile as I walked past him and tossed my backpack into the car before seating down. As soon as I sat down Alfred closed the door and got in the driver seat.

"How was school Miss Gordan?" I could only smile at hearing him ask that question.

"It was good Alfred, how was your day?" I asked him in return, from the reflection of rear-view mirror I could see his smile even with his moustache obscure it slightly from view.

General POV

The sound of someone punching a heavy bag could be heard over the sounds of people grunting. Currently Seth was punching a heavy bag with sweat dripping off him ignoring the people around him that were also working out. He currently was at a 24-hour gym located in his neighborhood, after one last punch he stopped has he was panting.

"Good work out their buddy." Said a random female voice catching Seth's attention. Seth turned his head to see who was talking to him. The person that was talking to him a beautiful woman in a red Chinese dress with black glasses and hair done up in a bun.

Seth knew who this was and was slightly on guard but relaxed seeing as how see what being friendly. He nodded and walked over to a stand that had a white towel and grabbed it. "Thanks, Miss…" he asked as he wiped off the sweat that was on his face. He knew that she was woman that operated illegal fighting rings and other nefarious things so getting on her bad side is anything, but smart.'

"O, excuse you can call me Roulette." She said with a small smile on her face as he looked up and down Seth's body. Seth knew what was going through her head and was about to speak, but she interrupted him. "Now do you mind if I know your name?" she asked as she placed one of her hands on her hips as he looked at him.

He stuck his hand out once he checks that it wasn't overly sweaty and stuck it out as he spoke calmly, "My name is Seth Forge, Miss Roulette." She didn't say anything she just took the hand and was pleasantly surprised to feel a firm handshake instead of most guys would when shaking her hand. When the handshake broke apart Seth looked back at her and spoke to her with curiosity in his voice. "What do you need with me Miss?"

Roulette only looked Seth and only smiled, "How would you like a chance to earn some money will releasing some tension?"
