Heroics, Fame, and You, Wednesday, Period 4
This last session, the class was meeting outside the Danger Shop, and Electroclash was looking both grumpy and distracted. She had her reasons. "Right, final time," she drawled to her students. "Which also happens to my final class as well." And that may have contributed to her mood. Maybe. "I've made the fancy computer in there simulate my local pub for you. In this sim, you've just been on telly for – even if that might be unlikely – a heroic feat. There is a chalkboard by the bar where we keep track of who has the most TV appearances. You'll go in one by one, and your job is to convince a certain prick of a man that your oh so heroic televised act was worth getting on the board for."
So no, this class was not going to conform to anyone else's expectations of superheroing even in its last session.
"Your final lesson is this: most likely, the most crucial thing standing between you and fame are other fucking heroes." She paused, then added, grudgingly, "Also I could say most of you haven't been utter pains in the arse to teach." Except you, Bucky. "Now get to it."
