"Algebra II", Thursday, Period 4

[electrocynic]

Electroclash, standing at the front of the classroom looking uncomfortable in her teacher uniform, didn't know the first fucking thing about algebra. She also hadn't bothered to find out much. Or anything at all. As far as she'd gone was a phonecall back home to Jenny to pester her about coming up with a test for her, and all that had yeilded was a cheerful earful about ethics or a teacher's pride or some other unhelpful bollocks like that.

And now there were lizard things all over her classroom. Because that was about as normal as algebra, wasn't it?

"Right," she said, trying to ignore the animals for now. As if they weren't her problem. "Welcome to your final for... Algebra II. Which we've been studying for an entire term now, so I'm sure you're as well prepared for this exam as I am." Riiiight. "So, you already have your papers, and here's... your exam: Write an essay on what you feel is the most important thing algebra has to give to the world."

Yes.

"Also, extra credit for anyone who gets the most lizards out of here."

[ocd up!]

Could he have handled an actual algebra test?

Not having studied algebra for a while meant Billy was much happier with a written "test" especially since it meant he could BS about how algebra helped superheroing. It might not have been "normal" but it was his small way of thanking Electroclash for letting him be her TA.
