Superheroing 101, Thursday, Period 4

"Today's topic is super teamwork," Electroclash announced once most if not all of the students had made their way into the room they were meeting in this week. It was a regular classroom, and she was standing up front with a projector. By the look on her face, the topic seemed to be particularly displeasing to her, but wasn't that always the case? "Which I think is a load of bollocks but the SPA want it covered and apparently they're spying on me through the radio like utter creeps so I guess I have to."

Your dedicated teacher, ladies and gentlemen.

She sighed. Heavily. Then she got out a paper with a big SPA logo on it, and consulted that for the next bits. "So this is different from having a sidekick. We're gonna get to that later. This class is about teaming up with another superhero, whereas working with a sidekick is about getting stuck with some whiny kid who's basically a glorified assistant." ... Okay so she may have been ad libbing some of the stuff. "I was in a superteam once ––"

The SPA mandated projector had about five seconds to show the front cover of the first and only issue of Ladytrouble's comic book before Electroclash snapped in her electronic voice, "|Projector don't work.|" to shut it down. Too bad about the rest of the SPA's slide show.

"–– and it was shit. I don't recommend it. But the SPA wants you to consider it so I've divided you into teams and I need you to think about team names and what your joint shtick is that makes it seem like you weren't just randomly assigned into groups. Extra credit is both are equally stupid."

Ladytrouble because they were both ladies (well, women) and caused trouble, see? Sigh. It had been She-Force's idea in the first place, yes.

"Right. The teams are as follows: Flamemover with Average Girl, Invisihair with G.I. Blast, The Flying Sycophant with Magic Slicer, Magicka with Ghost Hotline, Imagilad with Excelsor Jr. and Guardiangifted with Emotion Taxi and Slightly Less Average Boy." Yeah, she was going to keep using those names. (Sorry, Raven.) And no, she didn't care whether all of the named students were actually present or not. "Get to work."

[Wait for the OCD is a go!]

Team names. It wasn't as bad as the wearing lycra, but she still wasn't impressed.

Kate pulled a little face, and hoped that the Sycophant was a more creative team-namer than she was.

Oh yes, the boy whose team name was a copy of another team's name that was given to them by reporters was totally good at this. "Have you ever had to do this before?" he asked.

"Never had a team to name before," Kate answered honestly. Honestly, she didn't always work well with others, a tidbit she decided to keep to herself.

"Anyway, i's all I can do to remember my own code name."

"Your actual code name, or the goofy one we were given in class?" Billy asked quietly, hoping Electroclash wouldn't overhear.
