Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

Jackson got to the gym early. He took his mission of establishing a sports team in Fandom pretty seriously, see. That involved making something of an effort, and showing up early to check out the competition (yes, he viewed the other clubs as competition, deal with it) was the least he could do.

He grabbed a copy of the club schedule for himself before he went to set up his table.

Okay, two clubs to help run this semester meant two tables to split his attention between. But Evan was going to give it his best attempt!

He'd be running back and forth between this table and the science club one, looking slightly flaily, every few minutes or so. Club fair! Things to do!

The excitement might very well be the end of him, at this rate.

"Magneto?!"

There were some people who didn't think this was a good idea. Not the club itself, but its advisors.

"There wasn't...anyone else available?" she asked Evan. "Anyone? At all? Did you check with Fosse, the janitorial troll?"

"Ummm..." Congratulations, Karla. You'd managed to utterly baffle Evan, who was shrinking back a little bit. "What's wrong with Magneto?"

He needed this reminder!

Oh, Evan. Dear, sweet, gentle Evan. Karla was just going to...bury her face in her palm and shake her head for a moment. "Have you had a chance to talk to Kitty?" she asked, voice slightly muffled. She wasn't going to suggest Jono to him. "Like he suggested?"

"... No," Evan admitted, fidgeting a little. "I thought he'd suggested it for people who don't already know who he is. He's one of the X-Men!"

A good guy!

And now Karla's hand was smacking her forehead. "I assure you," she said tightly. "His past is a long and checkered one, with a lot of stuff he did before he--somehow--became an X-Men. Before he put on those damn tights, he was one of their fiercest enemies!"

Could she maybe get Bobby over to the island, stat? Have him explain a few pertinent facts to the poor kid before he hero-worshipped himself into an early grave.

"Was," Evan said, more than a little meekly. "He was. But he isn't, now. People can change."

He was going to stand fiercely by that one, a little resolve sneaking into his voice at the end of that statement, his shoulders squaring. It would probably be cute, if not for the 'standing up for the honor of a terrorist' thing.

"He wouldn't be teaching here if he hadn't, would he?"

"You are aware that Deadpool is our Vice-Principal, right?" Karla asked dryly.

That was not meant to be reassuring to you, Evan.

"And Deadpool and my Uncle Cluster are friends," Evan replied, still not seeing Karla's point.

It... was a very loose definition of 'friends.'

...That argument would become rather ironic in time, wouldn't it?

"Deadpool isn't entirely sane." And yet was on the administration of the school! Karla's point? FANDOM SOMETIMES HAD REALLY ~~awesome~~ LOW STANDARDS.

Oh, irony wasn't even the start of it.

"... And that makes him a bad person?"

Yeah, Evan still wasn't seeing Karla's point. His best friend at his last school had a habit of peeling off all of his clothes and flying around naked. Sanity need not apply.

"No, Evan," Karla said with a sigh. Deadpool's insanity didn't make him a bad person. It was his everything else that did that. "It's just an example of how Fandom doesn't always apply the most stringent of standards to their hiring policies."

See also: Hades, GLaDOS, Henchmen 21 and 24...

Evan had missed most of those! And so far, GLaDOS's classes were fun!

... If kind of worrisome.

"And the X-Men?" He frowned at her, shaking his head. "I know he's done bad things in the past. I've taken mutant history classes at the Jean Grey School, you know. But I don't think most of the teachers here are all that innocent. And there's a pretty small number of ones that we can turn to who have experience training superhumans."

And there was at least one that he knew of who would flat-out refuse, so long as he was involved. He didn't say that part, but he let it hang there for her to pick up on, if she cared to try.

Evan had kind of a low bar for recognizing the crazy, it was true.

"I'm not arguing that," Karla drawled. "Most of them have blood on their hands and I doubt that they've all checked to make sure that the blood was innocent. But there's a difference between that and actually targeting them as a way to get his own way."

Evan was trying not to get frustrated. Really, he was. He lifted one hand to scrub his fingers through his hair, and then huffed out a sigh, shaking his head.

"You were in class today too," he said, softly. "And you said yourself you're dating an Angel. When people are willing to go that far to exterminate us... I just..."

He huffed softly, not entirely certain where he wanted to go with that. Or if he wanted to go there at all.

"He hasn't done anything here, has he? Can you at least grant him that much?"
