True to his word, Allen has diagnostic exams ready for the taking. A stack of personal screens from the media lab sits next to his work table in the Engineering department, all programmed with tests. Long ones, since they're diagnostic, not cumulative.

One of them is, in fact, programmed with Superboy's name on it. Because Allen is a smartass like that.

"You know Stace, it would be nice if I could have a sign for the door. 'Open Call for Students-slash-Teachers,' something like that," he says, as he roots through the engineering department, looking for just such a thing to make a sign with.

"Thanks." Allen takes the test and runs it through a quick scanner. "Looks like you're doing fine - where are you from, again?"

His eyes flick to the head-alien, a curious momentary glance.

"Tokyo. Ah, Japan, on earth. I was about to start my first year of middle school when I was...brought here. I'm probably the youngest student so i'm sorry if I hold people back..."

Borg doesn't understand why people keep staring at him.

"Don't think of yourself as holding people back. The way things are looking now, we're not going to have grades, so much as we'll have all of you guys learning what you need to learn, as a group, from the same teachers. With everyone getting that much attention, there's no way you can hold someone else back. And if you need help, there are plenty of tutors on call."

Allen smiles at her. "Try and think of how school could have been, in a way that you would have liked - that's what we're going to try for here."
