'This power is busted' Ben thought. 'I need to inform Dick. Even with magic, I'm not confident in facing one.'

Ben looked at him with a side-eye and walked towards the main gate, but heard a voice call to him, which also attracted Superboy to pay attention to them.'Damn, wrong place, wrong time' Ben thought and looked back to see Kara and Alex making their way towards him.

"Morning, how are you two?" Ben asked the two.

"It was fine. You finished the assignment?" Kara asked.

"No," Ben replied.

"Wait, then how wi-" Kara asked him.

"My friend finished it for me," He interrupted Kara. Remembering something, Ben cast an illusion and sound blocking spell and said." Friday, wait till I place a sound resonance rune on the glasses. Don't talk until then."

Ben felt his specs vibrate a bit so he dropped the spells. He didn't want Superboy figuring out he had an AI.

"Excuse me?" The three heard a voice behind them and turned towards it, seeing Superboy standing there.

'Here we go,' Ben thought but maintained his poker face.

"Ah sorry, My name is Connor, and I'm new here. Can I ask where is the way to go for the principal's office?" Connor asked them, but Ben noticed the glance he gave Kara and understood he figured Kara out. But Ben wasn't the only one who noticed. Alex also saw the brief look in Connor's eyes, even though it was only for a brief moment, and frowned.

'I need to inform Hank' She thought.

"Oh, it's just ahead of the lockers. We are going there anyway, so why don't you come with us," Being oblivious as always, Kra immediately invited him to show the way. Ben strongly resisted the urge to facepalm at the girl's actions and rolled with it.

"Oh, thanks a lot," Connor said and started walking with them.

"By the way, my name is Kara Danvers, nice to meet you. This here is my sister Alex, and that stone-faced nerd here is Benjamin Tennyson, we call him Ben," Kara introduced the two, and her introduction to Ben caused Alex to chuckle while Ben's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.

They finally reached the lockers and Kara said, "That door over there is the principal office," Kara told him.

"Ah, thanks a lot. it was nice meeting you three," Connor said, while the three nodded to him.

"Yeah, see you around," Kara said as Connor walked away.

"He was fun to talk to, wasn't he?" kara said, but Ben ignored her and walked towards the classes, "Ben? Wait, you're not mad about the introduction, right? Ben? Wait, Ben!!" Kara said and ran after him, while Alex shook her head at their action, but still had a smile at their antics.

Ben went and sat in the class with the noisy blond sun beside him and relaxed. But that didn't last soon as the reached entered soon and said, "Morning class, today you have a new classmate. You can come in Connor."

'FUCK' It was the only word to describe Ben's reaction.

*That NIght*

"So the new guy is a Kryptonian-Human hybrid? How do you even know that?" Nightwing asked him.

"One of my powers. I... don't really use it, but that guy had a weird aura around him, so I had no other choice," Ben explained.

"Why don't you use it often? Does it have a cost or something?" Dick asked, confused.

"No, my powers basically transfer a summary about the person to my brain, and it is usually invasive. in mind read, I need to search for what I look for, but this makes me know literally everything about them. There is a reason I call it Eye of Truth. And I'm not interested in knowing everybody's deepest secrets, thank you." Ben explained. "Wait, did you just make me give you details about my power?"

Nightwing just looked away at the question, making Ben click his tongue. 'Whatever, just don't tell many. It's supposed to be a secret power, like using it in situations like today, showing others' affiliation and stuff."

"Yeah, I can see why you say that. That's one dangerous power." Nightwing nodded in agreement. "Can't you control the amount of information you get after seeing a person?" He asked.

"Hmm, haven't tried that," Ben replied.

"Well, that's a start," Dick said and Ben nodded in agreement. As much as he liked keeping his powers a secret, others give him ideas to limit or enhance his powers.

"By the way, did you see his?" Dick said, opening a holo-screen on his gauntlet of a newspaper, in which the title said, 'The Ghost Haunts Again!'"

"What the Fuck!?" Ben said seeing the headline. He hoped the article was not what he thought it was, but his hopes were washed down the drain after reading the news.

'Since last week, police have arrested many men involved in drug smuggling and child trafficking, and all had one thing in common. They were scared. And even after interrogation, the only thing they found was that a Shadowy Phantom came to injure and threaten them. They dismissed these reports at first, but these incidents have since only been escalating.

This shadow is responsible for scaring them so much in fact that they cry out all their crime and police don't even need to interrogate most. Yet, all the information we got still doesn't give us who or what is responsible for this. Is it really a ghost or a vigilante or hero like Batman. Our experts have even suggested the use of toxin similar to one infamous criminal of Gotham, the Scarecrow, considering the victims of his fear gas are scared, even after its effect wears off. The NCPD still hasn't given any statement as to what is responsible for the condition of these criminals.

As for the one responsible, we don't still don't know if 'The Ghost' is a protector or a rogue spirit.'

"This is BS," Ben said after reading it.

"You should be aware of the consequence of your actions. and you need to show yourself because right now even the higher-ups are scared of you and are thinking of calling the justice league if they don't figure out what you are... Mr. Ghost" Nightwing said with a smirk.

"Don't you dare say that! That's the stupidest name I ever heard!" Ben said, cringing at the title.

"Well, it's your fault for acting like one. And it's not that bad, I've heard worse," Nightwing said, but Ben just grumbled in response., "Plus, now you have a name to make yourself a suit based on it,"

"I'm not going by Ghost," Ben argued.

"Too bad, the media have already decided, so you just have to suck it up. Now don't waste time, Today you need to learn how to approach street-level crime. I have to give a report to the new kid in your school to Batman after that as well," Nightwing said, as they both glided based on Ben's empathy picking on any feelings of distress.

*Lex Corp, National City*

A building stood tall in the busiest place of National City, this being the Lex corp tower present here. While the upper floors were full of scientists doing their job, the lower floors of the building were secret to all but Luthor and some other scientists.

A boy walked into one of the rooms and a screen lit up in front of him showing Lex Luthor in all his bald glory.

"So, how was the mission?" Lex asked the boy.

"I've found the target," The boy said.

"Ah, that was quite fast. Good job, stay and observe for now. And also learn to adapt to the school environment. Some things can only be learned through experience than being uploaded to your brain. Good job so far, go to the solar cell to check your mental state and energy levels," Luthor ordered him.

The boy nodded and left while Luthor looked at the names Connor sent him about Kara, her family, and friends.

he looked at the files and found them secured. The files on Kara and her family by DEO, which were easy for him to access, but there was one he raised his eyebrows at. That was the file of Ben, which was secured by Wayne industries, at least on the front. But trying to hack it, Luthor discovered there was a lot more to security than just Wayne industries protecting it. He was almost fooled by the first screen he had access to when he hacked indicating he succeeded, but his backtracking quickly figured out the one in front of him was fake as well.

"Interesting... why are you so protected, Mr. Tennyson?" Luthor wondered looking at the image of the boy whose id he failed to complete access. "Guess there is more to you than just being an intern under Mr. Fox, isn't that right?" Luthor said to himself.

*Ben's house*

[Sir, there was a level 5 breach to your identity.] Friday informed Ben.

"What?" Ben was alarmed hearing this, as level 5 was the highest level of a breach that could actually occur, at least compared to all hackers on earth. The only ones above it were probably Mother Box, Cyborg, and Brainiac according to Ben.

"There is only a handful who could do it, any traces to read back?" Ben asked.

[No sir, I'm afraid not. If I were forceful, I'm afraid our location would have been discovered or backtraced to.] Friday said to him.

Ben silently thought of the number of people he knew could cause a level 5 breach, and came to one conclusion considering the events of this morning.

"Luthor... but why? Is he trying to trace information on Kara?" Ben thought and quickly wore his night outfit. He needs to contact Nightwing now about this.
