Superheroing 101- Tuesday, January 9- 2nd period

When the students walk in, they should notice a woman standing at the front of the room. Wearing a really pretty revealing costume... and a cardigan over it so students won't be staring at her chest. Shhh. It's more professional for the first day.

"Good morning!" she says once everyone's taken their seats, a syllabus on every desk. "I'm Captain Liberty, and welcome to Superheroing 101. I am a professional superhero. Trust me, I wouldn't dress like this on a normal basis." God, she hates the cardigan. She feels like one of those really young teachers she had in school who used to dress like her grandma. Luckily she's missing the lacy collar and the flats with bows on them. "In this class, you'll get to learn the ins and outs of identifying a bad guy, getting rid of one, and also dealing with the, um, more personal sides of it. And by the way, no, I don't have superpowers. They're great and definitely a help if you have them, but hopefully by the end of this you'll figure out that having common sense and the right mindset helps just as much. Also, if you know the people I do, common sense is kind of a rarer commodity." Sigh.

"But for now the first thing we're going to do is decide on superhero names. You'll be using these names- not your real ones- anytime you're in class," she says, and yes she's pleased with coming up with that when she has three Peters in the class. "The only thing I ask is that if you are going to go into professional superheroing, or already do, don't use your real fake name. If anyone in the class goes evil and turns into a supervillain, you don't want them knowing your real identity. That gets messy.

"Once we've done that, we're going to go around the room so you can introduce yourselves. Go ahead and add in any powers you're willing to divulge and if you have a superheroing experience, feel free to tell a story. Plus, naturally being both teenagers and potential superheroes, you're bound to want to talk about yourself somehow. We're all about sharing here!"

Which isn't code for Captain Liberty failing at coming up with an actual assignment for class yet, nope.

"The Amazing... Visionary?" Peter tried, wishing he'd brought a thesaurus with him.

"Think I should try something intimidating?" Peter asked. "Like... Mr. So Powerful Don't Even Think About It Buddy?"

"Huh," Peter said. "What about The Amazing Stevie Foster?"

"No," Peter said, grinning. "See? The secret identity is built in."

"The Amazing Stevie Foster Who Is Allergic To Strontium 90?" Peter suggested. "Because then they'd go after him with that, but he wouldn't actually be allergic to that so he'd be fine."

Peter chuckled. "Yeah. That works."

"Not sure yet?" Peter admitted. "I thought I could fly but that may be a wash."

"Do intentions count?"

"Nothing so far," Peter said. "But I really intend to be a hero."

"That's why I'm here," Peter said. "I'm so glad we've got this class."
