Introductory Superhuman Physics, Tuesday Fourth Period [9-2]

[notanactualfairy]

At first, there was no teacher at the front of the classroom, and the blackboard was blank. Then, there was a swift breeze, and suddenly a lean man with pointy features stood at the front of the room. The blackboard now read:

Introductory Superhuman Physics
Mr. Beaubier

"Good afternoon, everyone," Jean-Paul said. "This is Introductory Superhuman Physics; if you are one of our new and naive students allow me to take this opportunity to teach lesson one: yes, superpowers exist. A lot of your fellow students and teachers have them. I direct your attention to my feet." Which were hovering several inches off the floor. "In this class we will be covering how these superpowers work. The class is titled 'physics' but will by necessity delve into some biological matters as well, and as a disclaimer, I will tend to default to how these things work in my home universe. If you happen to know your universe works differently on a particular topic, I would be very pleased if you would share with the class. Your syllabus is not ready this week due to Dragon*Con; I will have it for you by next week.

"Now, for this week, we will do the usual round of introductions. This will also help me tailor your syllabus. I would like to know your name, where you are from, why you are taking this class, and about any superpowers you might have. Simple, non?"

Ben's cheeks flushed. "You're Gavin Darklighter? Really?"

"Last time I checked," he said and nodded. "We know each other?"

"Sort of?" Ben said. "You work with my dad. I'm Ben Skywalker."

"I work with your..." Okay, Gavin had to stop and blink. "Skywalker? And your dad is...?"

If it was who he thought, then this was...wow.

"Luke," Ben said, nodding. "Not the one that just graduated, though."

"Oh, wow." Gavin blinked a few times again. "You're his son? I still work with him?"

That, above almost anything else, made him happy.

Ben beamed at him. "You do. Well, when the Jedi and the military interact, of course, but you're in regular contact."

"Well, good." It was an inadequate word but it worked for the time being. "You do look like him now that I'm paying attention. You have better hair."

"That's not hard," Ben laughed.
