Oppression, Resistance and Revolution - Friday

“Good morning, class,” Magneto said after everyone had taken their seats. “My name is Erik Lehnsherr. For the purpose of this class you may address me as... professor.”

He smirked a little at that before continuing.

“Now, I’m sure many of you know me by a very different name. That is a topic for a different day. For those of you who might be curious, feel free to ask Mr. Starsmore who is a teacher here or Miss Pryde at the local bar. I’m sure they have some delightful tales to tell you.”

Giving his class a smirk, he began to walk up and down the rows of desks and began to lecture.

“This class is entitled Oppression, Resistance and Revolution,” he continued. “Which will entail both lecture as well as practical labs. As part of this course we will be looking at the history of oppression, resistance and revolution throughout history. We will discuss its roots and its effect on society. I realize that many of you may not be from this planet or perhaps from an alternate line of history. For the purpose of this class, I shall be drawing examples from my own world. I expect all of you to provide your own examples as you see fit. Before we begin our class exercise today, Mr. Kaplan will be the TA for the course. Mr. Kaplan? Please see me after class for instructions. If he's here.

Coming full circle, Magneto took his place in front of the class. “Now, I understand it’s typically a tradition in this school to start class with introductions. I do not feel that is necessary. Instead I would like for you all to go around the room and tell me about a cause you feel is worth dying for.”

And then with a random point of his finger, Magneto selected his first student. “You. Begin.”

"Are we speaking of a true death or one of the sort your kind is so fond of?" Hey, he was from Marvel. He knew the score.

"Umm, I don't really want to die," Angelica said hesitantly. "But I'll risk my life if something is important enough, like protecting my home and my friends or mutants in my world."

There were a number of times that Billy wished being psychic was one of his abilities, and this ranked right up there. "Um, professor? You wanted to see me?"

"Oh, there are ways!" Loki. No. Don't say these things.

"Uh...I'd rather not die for a cause? Can I just live for it instead? I can be very passionate and loud and stuff. I'm much more useful alive." Darcy blabbered along.

This Magneto didn't look like the Magneto from Warren's world, but Karla had learned to take these things in stride. He felt like Magneto, and that's what counted.

So Karla was just going to spend the first few minutes of the lecture grinding her teeth together and wondering how in the name of Hell Fandom had decided to let this guy teach.

Jono was so getting a visit for not warning her, oh yes.

"Ridding Glacia of my uncle and the puppet Queen he has doing his bidding," Karla replied in cold, clipped tones. She wasn't going to stop glaring anytime, either.

There was something about this guy that was giving Korra the creeps, but that didn't stop her from replying. "Protecting those in need from those that would harm them."

She'd had it drummed into her head that that was one of the duties of the Avatar, and even if she wasn't the Avatar any more, she could still feel the rightness of it deep in her bones.
