This week, Electroclash was actually there when the students filed in. Progress! She still didn't look like this was her favourite place in the world to be, but then you shouldn't expect too much of a good thing, anyway.

"Okay, my name's Electroclash," she drawled, once everyone was settled. "I can control machines, and I'm apparently teaching this class on superheroics." Eyeroll. "No one bothered to tell me this was supposed to start last week, so... sorry about that, or something. Anyway, this Kaplan kid – who's my new sidekick for the class as of right now – took some notes about you." She waved a ~~handwavily acquired and horribly modded~~ paper at them, then looked down at it. "Not that it was that much good 'coz I'm only interested in your cape names, and you insisted on giving your civilian ones. But I took the liberty of renaming you!" She smirked at them, smugly, as she retrieved another piece of paper, then called out each of their names in turn, and told them their new aliases. Which were non-negotiable as far as she was concerned, though you were welcome to try.

With a few unnamed people left, Electroclash trailed off. "And then ~~not everyone did IC introductions~~ I got bored reading this thing, so the last few names are to be announced." Actually, there was probably just the one. "Right. The SPA tells me today's topic is costumes and gimmicks. It's pretty simple. I give you a bunch of bright spandex and you design yourselves costumes, which you'll be wearing for the rest of the course." Or not. She was fickle. "Design shit and the Flying Sycophant will get the actual costumes for you for next week. And if you don't have a superpower that gives you an obvious gimmick, you might wanna think about that, too."

She didn't really care, just flopped down into the chair behind the desk, gesturing at a few boxes of fabric nearby. "Well, up and at it, kids, you haven't got all day."

[OCD up, go!]

Stephanie reached out to shake his hand. "Are we going to have to draw up contracts, o superheroing partner?"

"I think a verbal agreement would work for now," Tony assured her.

"Fine with me. Paperwork is bo-ring anyway," Stephanie agreed.

This was why being a vigilante was nice. You got to do all the head-cracking and then leave the cops to file the reports afterward.

"So, should we be offended or happy that we seem to be considered heroic by the teacher?"

"Can we go with perplexed?" Stephanie shrugged. "Because really, us?"

Ha ha.

"Totally weird, I know!" Oh, you two.

THEY WERE SO SUBTLE.

"Ooooh," Stephanie said suddenly. "Should we have a secret handshake?"

"Well, as long as you don't tell Rhodey," Tony replied. "He might get jealous."

Stephanie mimed a zipper across her lips.

"Not a word. Not even a syllable. Besides, it can be a different handshake!"

"For Average Girl and Slightly Above Average Boy." The best heroes ever. "Who wouldn't wear capes."

"Well, pfft, who would?" IT HURT HER SOUL TO SAY THAT.

Tony was a horrible, horrible person, it was true.

"And spandex. That's... a lot of spandex."

"Ohmygod, right? So impractical!"

Lay it on a little thicker there, why don't you, kids?

Hey now! They were just being real kids. Without any secret other lives!

"I dare you to go with bright pink."

Stephanie gave him a look that said I could so punch you for that, but decided to roll with it.

"Ooooo. Best superhero color ever, right? How about an obnoxious neon green for you?"

"That sounds... classy," Tony managed after making a face. "Maybe some yellow on yours too."

It was a nightmare. It was an absolute nightmare.

"Electric blue highlights, maybe?" Fear the look on Stephanie's face right now. "Ooo, I think you should wear something with spandex but no pants."

"To show off my legs?" Tony guessed. They were pretty amazing, it was true.

"What else?" Stephanie waggled her eyebrows at him.
