Dick stared dumbfounded to Thomas
"Wait, you don't really get it? haahahaahah" the face of Dick was getting grimier by the moment "ahahah don't put that face it only means cock or penis, it not a big deal you know"
"ah ah ah" Dick laugh at it sarcastically
"Well let's start again, i haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Thomas, its a pleasure to meet you, Richard" Thomas said extending his hand
*sigh*"pleased to meet you" said Dick shaking his hand
*cough*
*cough*
Someone besides Dick chugged loud enough that Thomas started to notice him, a boy with dark blonde hair and brown eyes, he was dressed like a good boy, white glasses, blue sweater a white shirt under it, blue jeans, and brown shoes.
"I had to admit that it was a little funny, but sometimes Dick can't take a joke, by the way, I'm Craig" He said
"Hey, old are you? " Thomas couldn't wonder he looked too small to be a high school
Craig looks irritated by the question, I'm sure that I touched a delicate subject'
"*sigh* 14, why?" 'he must be tired of been asked his age all the time or something, let's praise him a little'
"Wow, you must be pretty intelligent to have skipped some grades huh?" Craig faces light up a little hearing someone praising his intelligence and not call him a nerd like everyone else does.
"Yeah! in fact, he is almost ready to the college, but his parents said that he isn't ready for it" Dick said while patting Craig on the back
Craig blushed a little and scratched the back of his head
"that's a coincidence, my uncle said I was ready for any test in any college that I want to enter, but in my case, I wanted to enjoy the high school a little more"
"really?!" Craig couldn't contain his emotion, finally, someone that could understand him and be in the same level as him
Craig quickly take out a notebook and started to ask some questions he had with some formulas, the two started to get to into their conversation that they didn't notice that Dick was feeling a little left out
"Hey how about we show you the rest of the school?" said Dick
"That would be great," Thomas said "but what do you say that we do it after school? right now I have to go to history, ah you could tell me where is my classroom?"
"Yeah, sure"
*************************************************
The rest of the day was pretty easy, the subjects were too easy for Thomas, in his past life he was a college student, in this life he has the library of heaven path, so anything that crosses his path it would be pretty easy to solve.
At the end of the day, he encounters with Dick and Craig, they show him the theatre, the gym, the place where all the clubs are, at the end they were resting on the grades in front of the football field where the football team and the cheerleader's squad are practicing.
Thomas bought some sodas to share with Dick and Craig, he was resting when he saw a girl approaching them "Hey guys, you know this girl?" he pointed at the girl with the hand that he was grabbing the can of soda. Long red hair, stunning green eyes and a body to go with all
Craig raised his look and watched the girl, the moment he did it his face was heating up
"S-she is Barbara Gordon"
Dick turned serious, normally Barbara wouldn't come near him in classes
"Hi everybody, I'm sorry but I have to talk to this guy here for a moment, you wouldn't mind, right?" Thomas only dismissed her with a wave of his hand while he was watching the cheerleaders, Craig in the other hand was desperately shaking his head that was red as a tomato.
Dick grab his back, turned to the boys "I'm sorry guys, I have to go, maybe another day we could hang out or something"0999p
"Yeah, sure!" replied Thomas "Bye!" he waved at the duo
Thomas was watching at the figure of Barbara Gordon 'Yeah that's what I call a perfect ass'
"Thomas, I can ask you a question?" Craig said while looking at the field
"Yea, sure" he said finishing his can of soda and throwing it behind him
"how one can talk to girls?" Craig was squeezing his halfway done can, nervous about the conversation he started, he was to ask this question to Dick but he always is busy with something and sometimes is more easy to ask this type of questions to a stranger
"Why? you have already hit puberty or something" Craig's face was getting red from embarrassment, he tried to stand up and run away, but he finds out that he couldn't, Thomas' hand was firmly held in his shoulder, he looks to Thomas' face who was giving him a look expecting answers
"N-no it's that is when I talk to girls or try to ask them out, I am always nervous and I don't know how to talk to them"
"Hmm, well the answer is really simple in reality"
"how so?" Craig couldn't believe that the answer to his problem was really simple. Since he enters the high school most all the girls around him were bigger and more beautiful than the girls he was used to, because of that he was most of the time nervous
"Well, for example when you are trying to ask a girl out you always, always you have the no guaranteed" Craig was already getting depressed at hearing that "hey! don't be so depressing, what you have to do is try to get the yes"
"I don't understand"
"Well... you have to get their attention, you have to be natural, not to look forced, here an exercise try to record a video with the camera in front of you, practice your pick up lines, your jokes and then watch the video to find what are you doing wrong. you always have to have some money in your wallet, most of the girls like that you treat them well"
"it always works?" Craig had already sparkling eyes expecting the next answer
"Nah, not always, is mostly trial, error and the experience you get trying, in the end, you will get the girl don't worry" Thomas was grabbing his bag "*sigh* let me tell you an anecdote with a friend i bet that he can't get a girl of 20 years old, in that time we had 14 years, he practiced all the days in the mirror, he workout all the days, at the end he asks her out and she accepted, of course, his daddy money help him, but that's another subject"
"Well, Craig, it was a pleasure but I have to go, ah! I know that you have a thing for Barbara, don't look at me that way, it's too obvious, she probably knows it too" Craig was putting a desperate face like if his world was ending "hey! don't put that face I'm sure that you have at least a chance"
"Ha! fat chance she is gorgeous, girls like her aren't into guys like me! She had the best grades, she is by far the most athletic girl in school, she is the daughter of Gotham police commissioner, and after school, she works for Wayne industries, you think that a guy like me has a chance?!"
"Hey! look at me I am a loser that can't do anything, i can't even talk to the girl of my wet dreams because i am a coward" said Thomas in a mocking tone
"Grrr, Shap up i will show you, to all of you that i can do it!" Craig was fuming from rage.
"Hahaha, that's what i wanted to hear! now go and do it, good luck" said Thomas patting Craig's shoulder "see ya"
*************************************************
After going to his home he changed to his sportswear and go out to do his routine, now that he has less time to exercise, he had to increase the amount he does in less time
So, to add a little fun he added a little route from the house of his uncle in front of finger river to the Robinson park passing to the monolith square and arriving at the Old Gotham.
When he was getting there, he saw a tragedy, something so terrible that when he called his uncle for help but he couldn't speak well
"Uncle, help!!" he was so desperate that he didn't notice that a hero was watching him from a rooftop
"what happened?!? answer me!! Did something happen to you?!" his uncle was getting nervous
"No no, not to me, to a car, a tragedy please send a crane for cars!"
*************************************************
Batman was watching everything with Batgirl and Robin from a nearby rooftop
"So... that's the new talent that you mentioned before? *chuckles* he looks promising" Robin couldn't hold to laugh
Batgirl could help to cringe at the sight of Thomas crying on the roof of the car. One can hear from there what he was saying to the car
"Shhh, baby don't worry the help is coming and everything from now on is going to be okay"
"*sigh* are you sure that he has the qualifications?" Batgirl a.k.a. Barbara Gordon asked
"As strange as it seems he has the qualifications he is smart, strong, his technique is decent enough and i believe that if he is trained enough he can overcome both of you, at the same time"
"What?! are you serious?" Robin blurted out, he could believe that Batman has so many expectations for the new kid
"It's hard to admit but he is a rough diamond, the only thing is that we don't know if he is an ally or an enemy"
"I think depends on who you ask" Batgirl said, the other two look at her searching for answers "Last week he asked out to Kara"
"Really? and what Kara answer to him?" Robin asked her
Batgirl shrugs "who knows she didn't say yes neither no"
"*whistle* Let's hope that Superman doesn't find out this" Robin said
"about what i don't have to find out?"
