Heroing [Tuesday, period 2, class #1]

When students entered the classroom, they would notice that it was set up like an absolutely average classroom, with the exception that there was a table at the front bearing some... rather childlike art materials. Crayons, construction paper, safety scissors - yes, the tiny ones. Captain Hammer might have skewed his class a little young. And, inexplicably, there were safety pins.

And there was also a large man with a yellow hammer logo on his chest standing at the front, his hands on his hips.

One might even think he was posing.



"Hello!" he bellowed as soon as everyone was in and had taken their seats. "And welcome... to Heroing! I'm Captain Hammer. For... some reason I haven't really figured out, you may not have heard of me before today. Well," he laughed indulgently, "there's no one more qualified to teach this class than me. Not a person. I've kept Los Angeles safer than it's been in years. Years!"

There was that pesky Dr. Horrible, of course. And Bad Horse. If only he could put the Thoroughbred of Sin in a bridle. Someday!

"Anyway!" he said, after clearly drifting off into a mental tangent, "this class will teach you how to aspire to become as awesome and heroic as me. Now, don't worry if you aren't. I didn't mean to set such an impossible standard."

"For today, though," he continued, picking up a pair of safety scissors with one huge, gloved hand and examining them, "I want to hear who you are!" Not that he'd remember their names. "Your hero name. You can tell me your 'secret identity,'" and yes, he did air-quotes, "if you want. But make up a hero name if you don't have one, tell me what you're hoping to learn. I mean, aside from everything about the field. And then, we're going to do a little art project! Make a little recognizable symbol that you can pin to the front of your shirt. Like mine." He tapped the hammer on his chest.

He pointed at a random student. "You! Start."

And here, Warren had almost been getting used to normal classes since he'd left Sky High.

At least he was already pretty well-versed in the subject matter. This was pretty much all his last school was about.

Right, then. Warren could do this. He was just having a hell of a time coming up with a name that didn't sound... Well. Stupid. Phoenix was taken, he was sure. Anything combining "Human" and a synonym for flame just seemed way too obvious. And any other name he came up with tended to be along the lines of "The Immolator," which mostly made him want to beat his head against things.

And so, it was very, very reluctantly that he finally stood up to introduce himself.

"Call me Deep Fry." It was stupid, but at least it was him. "Mostly, I'm here for the credits. But I'll manage to cope somehow if I end up learning something, too."

"Why not? I burn things. I cook Chinese food. Usually not at the same time." Warren shrugged his shoulders. "It made sense at the time."

It took Warren all of ten seconds to decide what his superhero logo thing was going to be, considering the name he'd chosen for himself and the fact that he'd spent the past half a year working on demoting himself from his bully status down to simply being a brat.

Needless to say, he was pretty amused as he pinned his pink construction-paper shrimp to his shirt, a little singed around the edges for good measure.

Because he could.

Wizardman. Magic Boy. No. That way required a purple robe and hat with stars and camp really wasn't his style.

What were his powers? He could call things to his hand. Callboy. Uh, no.

What else could he do? Protection wards, which usually came with a side of cherries. But "Ward" was too plain for a hero name and "Cherry Rain" was way too eighties.

Aaaand, now it was his turn. He stood up. "I'm Tony and you can call me Shadowsbane." Pretentious, but he had fought the Shadowlord. "And I'm here to, uh, learn. About hero things." Duh. He sat down quickly before he could say anything else stupid and hoped his cheeks weren't as red as they felt.

Hannibal kind of just...stared at this guy. He was really loud and full of himself. And he looked like a Port-A-Potty attendant with those huge gloves.

"You can call me...King Awesome," he decided. It sounded good, had some zing, and it had his last name in it so maybe he wouldn't completely ignore this guy if he called him by the hero name. "And I'm here because who doesn't wanna be a hero? Best job in the world. Fame, women, and money."

As soon as he'd figured out his name, Hannibal constructed a crown from red construction paper and pinned it to his shirt.

Pretty fanciful if you asked him.

Captain Hammer was obviously a well-respected hero to be teaching a course at Fandom High, but there was something about him Adora couldn't pinpoint. Something...off.

She wondered if this wouldn't be a better class for She-Ra to be taking.

"Some call me the Princess of Power," Adora offered, hoping that wasn't cheating since she didn't make it up. "I signed up for this course in the hopes of learning how to be the hero my people need." Even when she wasn't wearing a mini skirt.

Adora set to work creating a rather elaborate looking sword. Her main difficulty was figuring out how to make the stone look sparkly. It was a challenging task and she looked rather worried about getting it done right.
