X squared equals x plus one singular sensation, every little step...
Ezra and Evan had all their classes together until 1 p.m. Math. Ezra was in Calculus, and Evan in Trigonometry. Ezra had almost decided just to take trig, but it was so....incredibly.... boring. So he sat, utterly aware of exactly where Evan was, but still a little bemused at sitting alone.

According to school rules, the nurse was to hold and administer all medications. Ezra would be damned if some nurse was going to hold his stuff and tell him when to take it. So he just took it before they left in the morning instead. It'd be enough.

Good thing he could divide attention between class and the radio.

Calculus. Bane of Marissa's existence, as it were. Truth was school was also the bane of her existence. For whatever reason Bruce was insistent that she go to school instead of having a tutor or something of similar ilk. Good thing she was adept at being constantly tired, though calc made her actually grumpy which half-explained the slight scowl on her face as she slipped into class.

Today was not the day that she wanted to pretend to be Party Girl Wayne.

	Ezra smiles at the girl who just sat down, then tries to focus on the class. He manages to take a few notes related to the material -- nothing too tough -- but intersperses those notes with rough sketches of tenement building arrangements where he and Evan had been 'working'. He marks out lines of defense for various purposes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Always aware of her environment, Marissa glances about a bit...and notices the sketching. That holds her interest for a moment and she rummages in her bag for a particular pen. She wants to get a photo of those sketches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There are little symbols scattered about the sketches, the insignia of the various street gangs they'd seen signs of or had word of from his police-report hacking.

Ezra captions this picture with a note that the teacher seems obsessed with indeterminate limits, and they'll probably be on the test.

Then he starts to write something about a wizard on Park and 73rd before he erases it because he realizes that's song lyrics. Stupid radio blaring.

	Marissa gets her pen in just the right spot and snaps the picture. Wizards? Something here was really weird and while she wanted to know more she also knew she had to take notes and do the whole school thing, too. She started scribbling down a few things, continuing to look at Ezra every so often. This was all just so weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ezra continues elaborating on his little designs, redrwaing with little scenarios of movement. One almost gets the feeling that a well-dressed corsican should sweep a hand across the drawing and declare 'Triumphe Napoleon!' for all the tactical craziness that seems to be going on. There may be a small urban restaging of the battle of Cannae on a Gotham rooftop in one of the drawings.

As class draws to an end, Ezra packs up his things, and heads for the door as soon as they're dismissed.

	Something about this kid...Marissa needed to find out more. So when class was over she gathered her books and decided to follow Ezra. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dads said to trust his instincts -- when he didn't have an opportunity to trust Evan's instincts -- about whether he was being followed. He turns to look at Marissa. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kid turns so abruptly that Marissa almost runs right over him and half-curses under her breath. "Hi. Saw you in class." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh. Um. Well. You know. A guy doodles sometimes." Sometimes, it really sucked to have to think on your feet with freaking show tunes blasting in your ear. It wasn't like showtunes were a stable in their house -- the dads may have been madly in love, but that didn't exactly make them walking stereotypes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Durlin. Marissa filed that away. She'd have to call Mia about this later. "So do you want to be an artist or something? Some of the stuff you were drawing was really detailed." Like she expected to see Batman jump out of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
