fandomhigh | Superheroing 101, Thursday, Period 4

Another week, another class with Electroclash standing in front of the students with a sour-ish look on her face. This time, though, they were meeting in the Danger Shop, which meant there really was no reason for their teacher to look so annoyed, since she didn't actually have to do much beyond verbally telling the room what to do.

But she was annoyed just on principle, thank you very much.

"Okay rugrats, my teaching outline says today you'll be introduced to practical heroing," she announced once everyone had arrived. Or most of them, at least. She wasn't keeping count that closely. "So, you're all gonna put on your costumes, assuming the sidekick ~~is present and~~ has lived up to his name and acquired them for you, and then you're going to do simulations of some heroics. You can do them by yourself, or you can partner up, I don't care. Power usage is encouraged. And afterwards, I'm supposed to ask you for your thoughts on the tasks or whatever. So that might happen."

She gestured to the dressing rooms to the side. "Well, get on it."

[~~Wait for the OCD!~~ OCD up!]

"I really don't think this happens in real life," Tony said.His costume was neon. And showed off his legs.

This is why he and Stephanie weren't allowed to egg each other on, people.

Lex would have felt even more smug about his mask and street clothes, you know, if he wasn't trying very hard to both look and not-look at Tony at the same time. Someone needed to work on their Luthor Suaveness a bit more.

"Do you think it's cheating if we get a fire-truck?"

Tony subscribed to the healthy manner of dealing known as repression. So, it worked for him. "I don't think that's cheating," Tony replied. "Since I'm pretty sure neither of us have the kind of 'powers' that let us do this like she expects."

A beat.

"Plus I'm not allowed to hack into school property to change the scenario."

Thanks a lot, Captain America.

Repression and alcohol, though Lex had yet to discover just how useful the latter was. Give him time though.

Lex considered that a moment. "Are you allowed to say how you'd have hacked them while another person is coincidentally standing next to a control panel?" Because that was totally different than Tony hacking them!

Oh, this could only end detention and tears. "Well, that wasn't specifically disallowed."

They were using their powers to save the cat, just different ones than they were supposed to.

"Then clearly it's okay." The future president of the United States in at least one timeline, ladies and gentlemen.

This is what happens when your real super power is money. Lots of money. And occasionally daddy issues.

"I have been dying to look at the hardlight systems," Tony admitted.

Don't forget a love of science! And technology! Really, everyone should just be grateful that Lex was going to go at least fifteen more years before deciding to try and build his own suit of flying armour. Probably.

As it was, hardlight systems sounded like something very relevant to Lex's interests. "You never know when we might need to know about them, what with the island getting invaded every other month."

"Like superheroes should!" Ah, justification. Always nice.

"Warrior Angel would do it." No, no he would not, Lex.

Tony nodded in completely off agreement. "So would Captain America."

Instead facepalming. Really.

"It's clearly our only option." This is how you end up becoming a supervillian, Lex.

At least Len had excuse. Tony was just a bad hero.

"Now we just need to make sure and crimes committed are near something like this and we're set."

"We should probably start small," Lex said, lack of powers and all. "But bigger than a cat up a tree." Since they were nowhere near halfway through rescuing the cat, suggesting an arson case did not cross his mind.

~~Lex, not Len. Autocorrect, you fickle bastard.~~

"Bank robbery?" Tony suggested. Because he was insane.

~~Like we didn't already know Len was a supervillian?~~

Like Lex was the most mentally stable person ever, even if he was still a few years from a psychotic break. "Sounds good to me."

~~Oh god, it all makes sense now!~~

Tony dug out his phone to bring up schematics he really shouldn't have on a bank. "Normal robbers or should we give them super powers. As a challenge."

"Powers might get noticed," Lex said after thinking about it. "We can save them for next time."

Sure, there was going to be a next time. Yep.
