- Double the trouble, and while Clinton tagged along to many mishaps his brother caused or planned he was never framed and got off easy while His brother had the image of a delinquent. Their many stunts included pranks (both harmful 'pranking' and harmless pranks), stealing from others, etc. As a result, Zeke was kicked out of Gotham Academy and placed in Gotham high due to having many fight counts with 'stuck up shitheads'.
- Ironically Zeke jokingly enrolled again 3 months after and got accepted and invited back again. Apparently Gotham Academy doesn't look to hard at their applicants. He only stayed for 2 weeks before dropping out of the Academy to go back to Gotham High.
- Although while they pulled stunts on school grounds, their reputation as a 'masked prankster' had become known though fingers were not pointed at them. It was believed to be one person rather than two! Their 'Alternate persona' became known as Gotham Academy's Urban Legend. The things a raccoon hat and tail could get you. But in one 'confiscated footage' it revealed two troublesome tricksters and word eventually went around.
- While it started off as a 'little thing', a small group of students referred to the mystery delinquents as 'Sly & Stray'. Sly because of the yellow/blue coloration and 'stray' because the 'other delinquent' is never confirmed, and rarely seen or heard of if they're partners in crime
- As their alternate, they worked their roles as 'villains' up by working with thugs and joining gangs before leaving with some sort of larger prize than they offer/give to the gangs and thugs. At one point they also encountered Catwoman, They reached good terms and also treat her as their own rival in a sense. Someone to be inspired by, occasionally learn from when they had their encounters, and to feel competitive with. They weren't her sidekicks, and only encountered her at least 4 times in their lives.
As their alternate careers heightened, it was still believed to be one single person rather than two. The twins always did the old fashioned switch-a-roo while one played upfront and the other lurked in the shadows. They occasionally even alternated during the scene without others noticing. So few villains or close thugs of the villains had even witness 'two raccoons'. Perhaps glimpses but upon trying to explain the word never goes through and they simply seem crazy, upping their roles as 'villains' even more higher.
- Because of their scholarly habits (Zeke still attending public school while Clint still attended Private school), They received many opportunities and attended events as well. One of which they met Bruce Wayne when Zeke was Clint's plus one. After that they coincidentally continued to meet this rich billionaire of Gotham a few more times before they earned a full and free scholarship { Zeke wasn't interested at all in going to college but found that it was to late and paid for anyways } and graduated college.
Gotham was certainly
different...
Bad. Crime was pretty much 'in the norm' but apparently rather than brightly smiling Heroes, It was filled with dark and gloomy ones. Nonetheless they learned how to adapt to basically living on their own with a house keeper as a substitute parent, and continued to excel in Gotham Academy, which grew easy on Clinton but not with Zeke. To put it simply, Zeke was intelligent--But not hard-working. Ezekiel was focused through and through and while being twins already gave them a reputation of being known, Zeke had more of the reputation based on trouble. Two was double the trouble, but Clinton had more restraint, even when he did tag along to his brother's many mishaps though it was easier for Clinton to get out of these mishaps than for Zeke.
They pulled many troublesome stunts together, especially when it involved stealing from the more privileged and keeping it for themselves or giving it to the poor, Kind of like a robin-hood duo. And that was when two twin thieves were born, In a prestigious academy as a mere 'urban legend' until their roles became known in the 'Batman tales' working with other villains and thugs. Though it was always believed that it was 'one person', there were so few sightings claiming it was actually 'two'. They stole riches from others, it was often given to their mother. Basic things from Tiaras and jewelry to eventually the most complex things such as money transferring. But ezekiel made it through schooling differently as soon as moving to Gotham had happened: He simply cheated and manipulated his way. Nothing to out of it, but he was good with words and heartbreaking. Something his brother tried to change but couldn't. Why couldn't Zeke simply cheat off him? Or tell Clint to do his essays rather than go through the troubles of deceit? Simple, Zeke just liked the chase and drama being caused around him. He could care less and apparently gave him his own sense of superiority of others. Eventually Zeke was kicked out of the prestigious academy for most of his fight counts, including his last one and they found that they could no longer keep him due to the fact that he never made an attempt to change his behavior. That was when one became more privileged than the other, However Zeke had seen and learn more street-wise about the 'real world' than his brother.
With good grades, the two had many opportunities open to them and attending events due to scholarly habits. The older twin {Zeke} seemed to have a preference for public schooling while the younger grew more accustomed to the fancier things provided in Gotham. At one point they had met Bruce Wayne on occasion, and it almost became regular by coincidence. They were given full scholarships for their hard work, Funded by no other than Wayne Enterprises and it was expected they graduated clean without any mischief from Zeke's part. They fulfilled that duty at ease while also continuing to up their game as 'Stray' or 'Sly' since it was still believed that the thief which they played was one person.
