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

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?"

Momoko smiled happily. "When Ken used the Chemical Z to destroy the iceberg in Tokyo City Bay, the explosion sent out bursts of white light that hit me and three of my friends. Since then, we can transform and we each have powers and are superheroines! Well, Peach is actually a dog and not a superhero. But he's alive now, because of the white light. And he talks."

"So, a chemical accident?" That was...pretty common. "The dog was not alive before?"

"Yep! To start with, it was an accident. But it was destiny, too, because it was us that the white light hit and not someone who didn't care about the city and its people." Monsieur Beaubier, Momoko decided, was ok. He seemed to really be interested! It made her wish she'd heard of him as a superhero before. "Peach was a digital dog. A robot, shaped like a dog? But when the light hit him he was suddenly able to think and feel and talk. He doesn't transform though. The Professor thinks that the light may have tailored itself to work with what it hit or something."

She was so adorably naive. "From what I know of such accidents I suspect it was more 'blind luck' all around, but. Welcome."
