Today was in the Danger shop as ~~so very handwavily~~ planned. Because today... there was SCIENCE. Reed Richards, Tony Stark and Hank Pym's bastard lovechild kind of science.

No, that didn't mean there was a clone of a god running about. That would just be silly.

"We are going to learn the very delicate art of boiling water today," Deadpool informed the class when they had all filed in. "Now, I know this can be done wrong many ways, but I think in this safe environment we can do this. Just think of me as the Jaime Escalante to your East L.A. tough street kids with hearts of gold."

A beat.

"Without any cheating involved."

Shaking his head, Deadpool soldiered on. "Now! We have two options for you kooky kids. You can either watch a movie for instructions--" He waved toward the faaaancy 'AV department which he wasn't actually sure the school had, so it might have just been stolen' television. "--Or you can just go to town and figure it out on your own. Like brave little pioneers. Just no dying of cholera along the way, that'll just get me in trouble and we really don't need that."

Because preventing cholera was a job bestowed upon him as a teacher. True story.

"Now break into teams of two and go to town!"

"It's not that," Cal said, quirking an eyebrow and wondering if John actually though he was serious. "It's just you've got to be careful with some things. Boiling water. Very serious business."

"Yes. Very. I can't believe I was so quick to threaten the success of our project," John nodded. He knew it was all a joke. They were boiling water, for pete's sake.

"I know, I know," Cal said, nodding along. "So many things to consider. Like, what might happen if we don't cover it? Slower boil? Sloshing water? Nuclear winter?"

"Nuclear winter I could handle, but water sloshing? I'd hate for someone to end up scarred." John was way too pretty for that.

Cal couldn't help snorting at that. "But just think of the stories you could tell chick to impress them with that one. 'Oh, what? This? Yeah." Cal preened, buffing his fingernails against his shirt. "'Boiling water accident.'"

John tapped his chin thoughtfully. "That's some strong reasoning, Cal. I like it."

Cal shrugged again, amicably. "I can usually work my way around a point or two," he said. "Let's fire this baby up. You want to do the honors?"
