"Welcome back. You all look non-wombatty today," says Captain Liberty when the students have all taken their seats. "If you'd pass up your homework, we can get started. Now, today we're going to talk about the absolute fun that is dealing with the bad guys. Seriously, less fun than you'd expect sometimes.

"We have your ordinary bad guys, the ones who rob banks and steal purses. They are often more easily taken care of by superhero types. Most often apprehended with little to no violence, they spend some time- usually around three to five- and get out only to do it again. The repeat offenders get kind of tiresome," she says, waving a hand dismissively.

"Then we have your supercriminal. He is costumed, because the fact is, he's got a secret identity, too. I'm not really sure why. Your average villain doesn't seem like enough of a people person to have a personal life, but whatever," Captain Liberty says. "He might also be covering for a physical deformity or quirk that's made him who he is today. This would be the guy who decides to do things on a broader, less petty scale. Usually. He usually has minions who do his dirty work for him, helping him get away with plans such as, I don't know, unleashing terror gas on a city. They usually have the same purpose as the regular ol' criminal, only with a much longer and more involved backstory that led him down this road, which is usually a load of crap anyway and it's just an excuse to be an ass. Either way, he can still be defeated.

"What you're going to do today is get into groups of four. Each group will have one supervillain scenario, and you'll discuss what the most likely course of action would be in defeating them. In theory, you'd be going at this alone, so consider everyone else your sounding board. Remember, you're not trying to kill them, just arrest them, but you're more than free to use any powers you have. Pay attention, because next week you'll be in the Danger Shop, back in costume, for practical exercise number two."

Peter gave him a concerned look. "Everything okay?"

Making a point to not look at Cassie, Teddy nodded. "Fine. Just not feeling well."

"Anything I can do to help?" Peter asked.

"No," He replied, shaking his head. "Not unless you have a time machine, and that never ends well."

"Left it in my other jacket," Peter replied with a wry grin.

Teddy snorted. "Yeah. That's sadly not even a joke back home."

"Really?" Peter looked interested. "People can travel through... why am I even asking this when I go to school with people from different centuries? Sorry, still getting used to it."

Teddy could have been mean and told Peter to ask Cassie about her ex if he wanted to know more about time traveling, but he wasn't that mean.

"No big deal," Teddy assured him. "Took me forever to get used to the weird stuff here too."

"I'm trying to imagine what would be weird for a guy who can change his appearance at will," Peter said.

"Not to mention the alien thing," Teddy replied. "But, yeah. Things around here are still weird enough to get to me sometimes."

"Don't take it the wrong way when I say that helps me feel better?"

Teddy laughed. "The day everything in Fandom seems normal to me, is the day I need to leave because I've just lost any sense of normality."

Peter laughed as well. "I think they've got that down in the handbook."

"Good. All the new kids need fair warning about this stuff."

"Funnily enough it was not in the brochures," Peter said. "Though that's probably for the best. My family wouldn't have let me come here otherwise."

"And you would have missed out on turning into a girl or seeing your teachers as small children," Teddy replied.

"Or finding out what's it's like to live in a fishtank," Peter agreed.

Teddy snorted. "That might actually be one of those experiences I didn't really need."

"Don't have that on your list of things to do before you turn 30?" Peter teased. "I thought it was right up there with climbing a mountain and seeing the pyramids."

"Nah, mine would be go to another galaxy or meet Dr. Strange. Those would be way cooler than climbing a mountain," Teddy replied. "Plus, knowing my luck, there will be some crazy super villain trying to destroy the pyramids when I went to visit."

"On the upside you might get extra class credit for it if that happened."

"That's true. But it would make for a horrible vacation."

"Depends on what you consider a good vacation," Peter pointed out. "I bet there's people in boring jobs who'd pay good money for a trip like that."
