"What, you mean Luthor?" John asks. "He's a freak, but it's not the pheromones that make him one. He's just weird. Why were you up all night?" He holds the door to the auditorium open for Kalinda, then leads her to a seat and sits next to her.

Soon, a small group of staff members take their seats on the stage, followed by Bruce Wayne, who stands in front of the podium. Bruce clears his throat, then says in a clear voice, "Today, we have the distinct pleasure of celebrating one of the fastest learning students in Academy history. You all know her as a sweet, fun-loving redhead, while I know her as the young woman that caused hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to my school. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand to your feet and give Ms. Sue a round of applause." With that, Bruce steps back and joins Mimic, Iron Fist, and Hank McCoy in clapping for Sue.
