Superheroing- Wednesday, March 6- 2nd period

[captainliberty]

Once the class has settled in, Captain Liberty gives them all a smile and says, "Welcome back. Hope you all had a good break, because it's over now and you're not getting it back. Haha. Lucky for you guys we have a pretty easy class today." Though it's said in a way that might make the students question that statement.

"I've said before that a good portion of superheroing is trying to come off in a good light. You might think you're just doing your job, or doing the right thing, but there's more to it than that," she continues. "The things you do can be really public, and will attract attention. Reporters will write about your actions, kids might want to dress up as you for Halloween, and let's not even think of people trying to spin things weird during an election year." Pausing, remembering her background, she says, "Pretend I didn't say that. The fact of the matter is, a lot of people don't want to be saved by someone they think is a jerk.

"Now, for today's class, we're going to have you be interviewed by a real reporter. Your job is to put your best foot forward. It's just that easy," Captain Liberty smiles. "Now, I'd like you all to welcome someone a few of you might know, Rita Skeeter."

Once class is getting up to leave, Captain Liberty calls, and for homework, I just want you all to give me a paragraph or two on how your interview went, and how you'd handle it next time. Bye."

"What a lovely little hand-flick...gesture thing," Rita congratulated.

"Thanks, I've been practicing," Peter muttered.

"Generally speaking, you need a wand," she said lazily.

"...I knew that."

"Of course you did, dearie."

In no way was Peter now fiddling with a pencil and trying to use it as a wand. That would be dorky, and everyone knew that Peter was nothing but suave.

And naturally Rita wasn't smirking at said attempts. "Have you forgotten all your spells?"

"Maybe I should try again in 20 minutes?"

"Do you really feel it'll make a difference?"

"Not really sure," Peter admitted. "This hasn't happened to me before. Have any of your other interviewees had this kind of a problem?"

"Insanity? Yes. Quite a few."

"Maybe if we just sat and talked I'd feel more comfortable about trying again," Peter said. "Take the pressure off, you know?"

"Mmm," Rita said with a nod. "Tell me about yourself, then. Without, ahem, betraying that secret identity."

"I'm originally from New York," Peter said. "I don't think it's giving away too much to tell you that. My favorite comic books are Ninth Wonders. And I like helping people however I can."
