Intergalactic Justice, Tuesday Period One

"Gooood morning, children," Jim greeted the class, in classic upbeat fashion. "Today? Cows!"

He had a preoccupation, yes. As did the farmland area that the Danger Shop had adopted as its form du jour, featuring a herd of cows that was truly stellar in size.

"...And plans. Planning is a very important part of exacting justice across the universe," he said, holding up a finger, "Because you don't want to end up caught stuck between the Dangerous Zone of Great Danger and a black hole without some kind of 'plan'." He made the airquotes accordingly. "Make sure you have a lot of these 'plans', because things never really go the way you want them to go. And remember always, always-- have a plan B."

He took out his (still simulated) blaster. "EAT! DIRT!"

One of the cows got pulverized in the ensuing onslaught. He spun the blaster, blew the complete lack of smoke from the barrel, and shoved it back. "Buuuuut there's always the hope it won't get to that." He didn't sound too hopeful about it, really. "For today's assignment, you have to plan. And work as a team. My suggestion is you find someone who compliments your strengths, weaknesses, and makes a mean omelette just in case you and your little buddy get a little hungry travelling through the universe."

He brushed away a tear. "I MISS PETER."

And composed himself. "--Anyway, we're under attack, so pick a cow or two, herd them down over towards that catapult over there, and launch them. Trust me, you'll find it's great thinking ahead later!"

It wouldn't be.

Jen leaned over and muttered, "Bet Captain Logan didn't know about the faculty before he sent you here, huh?"

"He must not have," Alex muttered back. "I'm beginning to think there are a lot of things about this place he doesn't know. Is...do you think it's insane?"

"Good chance of it," Jen replied. "He wouldn't be the first insane teacher, either. My Criminal Justice class last semester was taught by a . . . well, a criminal. It was even in the course title."

Alex thought about that for a moment. "Huh. That could be really interesting, actually, like a different perspective on why people commit crimes because it couldn't possibly be because they're ostracized for being mutants. You mean like a reformed criminal, right?"

"Actually," Jen admitted, "I wasn't really getting the sense that he was. Or he could have just been on uppers all the time. Either way, Time Force brass would've freaked."

Including older you, she added to herself.

"Weird," Alex said. "I'm beginning to wonder about this school's, you know, standards. A criminal? And--" Alex gestured wordlessly to their teacher.

"Well, it's like you said, it's definitely a new perspective," Jen replied. "Doesn't stop it being weird, but it's . . . interesting."
