Hello Greg! I hope you're having a good day!

I have some random Young Justice questions that could be considered pretty self-explanatory, but any clarification you can provide would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.

1. According to YJ Wiki (which got its dates from your previous answers here at AskGreg), Bart was 12-13 in the year 2056, putting his birthday somewhere in 2043. Now, given the fact that he time-traveled back in time exactly forty years to February 28th, 2016 (where he was subsequently taken-in by the Garricks and enrolled in school, per previous Asks here), is it safe to say that, according to any school or government documents (forged or not), Bart's legal birthday is sometime in 2003 (i.e. 13 years before 2016 and 40 years before 2043, his actual birth year)?

2. To keep in line with ages, and knowing that you take great care in tracking them, I assume (at least implicitly) that you also have a notion to which grade level each character would be in if they were attending school. Given that implicit information, can you confirm that the list below is accurate in terms of age and grade level for the members of the Team/Outsiders that would still be attending high school (in YJ Phantoms, aka 2020):

- Bart Allen, 16-17 in 2020, a new Senior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2021
- Stephanie Brown, 16-17 in 2020, a new Senior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2021
- Traci Thurston, 17-18 in 2020, a Senior in High School that graduated in May/June 2020
- Violet Harper, 17-18 in 2020, a Senior in High School that graduated on June 01, 2020 (Canon)
- Tara Markov, 16-17 in 2020, a new Senior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2021
- Cassandra Wu-San*, 16-17 in 2020, a new Senior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2021
- Andie Murphy, 15-16 in 2020, a new Junior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2022
- Garfield Logan*, 17-18 in 2020, a Senior in High School that graduated in May/June 2020
- Courtney Whitmore, 16-17 in 2020, a new Senior in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2021
- Leslie Willis, 17-18 in 2020, a Senior in High School that graduated in May/June 2020
- Lia Briggs, 17-18 in 2020, a Senior in High School that graduated in May/June 2020
- Wendy Jones, 14-15 in 2020, a new Sophomore in High School by August/September 2020, graduating in 2023

*Cassandra and Garfield are special cases, as while it was confirmed in S2 that Garfield was homeschooled, Cassandra is more of a special case in the sense that she likely doesn't attend "normal" schooling, though I could be wrong!

I didn't list any of the characters born in 2001 or earlier (Tim, Cassie, Jaime, Virgil, Cissie, Ed, etc.) because, depending on where exactly their birthdays fell, they'd have likely graduated at least the year prior in 2019. This list also (potentially incorrectly) assumes that no one dropped out or skipped any grades or had to repeat any grades, which would obviously change up some stuff.

3. You've stated previously that you only reveal designations once they become obvious and/or obsolete (as is the case with former-Team designations and the now-defunct "Batman Inc." designations, to name a couple). Given this information, can you confirm that Wonder Girl's designation is D-02 for the Outsiders (she's the only original member that hasn't had it revealed on-screen/on-panel, thus making it semi-obvious) and can you also confirm that El Dorado and Cyborg's designations were B-34 and B-35 (before the Outsiders got their own designations) respectively, and that, on the Outsiders, Cyborg's designation was D-08? I also suspect that Windfall's designation is D-15, but since I don't think it's been confirmed that she and Looker (D-16) are the newest additions, meaning there could be more, I won't push my luck asking about her!

4. When Kid Flash was considered missing in Phantoms, was Bart Allen also considered missing? He left with the Legionnaires on August 27-28th, 2020, got taken hostage by Lor-Zod on August 29th and wouldn't escape until September 13th-14th. Kid Flash was officially declared missing on September 5th, but what about Bart? Assuming my above school years are accurate, he would've started his Senior year of High School (likely in early August, as Wally did way back in S1, assuming he's attending the same school in Central City) and then promptly missed 2+ weeks of school. Did Jay have to come up with a plausible reason for Bart's absences or did he also declare Bart missing as well? If Bart Allen was considered legally missing as well, then what reason did they have to eventually come up with for Bart's return? (This could constitute a spoiler, so please feel free to ignore if so!)

I'll stop at four questions because these four questions are LONG ENOUGH, haha! (I also am not fully certain I didn't accidentally sneak in multiple disguised as one, for which I'm so sorry if I did!)

I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day!
