Club Fair, Gym, Friday Afternoon

[nomoresportscars]

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.

"Is he gonna withdraw his sponsorship when he finds out you let nonmutants in?" Alex asked. "Would the club have to fold then? And, like, if his endgame is to take over the island and turn it into a new mutant paradise or whatever, and you've set it up so he can see what all the people he's gonna have to fight to do that can do up close and personal in advance, and, like, which ones he can recruit to his mutant army, what's your plan for dealing with that?" He just sounded genuinely curious, not judging. Although he really hoped you had a plan, Billy.

"He won't withdraw his sponsorship as long as I'm involved," Billy said firmly, because that was just about the only thing of which he was certain. "And if he did, I'm sure we could find someone else to help us, like Mr. Starsmore, and he likes...well, he doesn't like everyone, but he's accepting. As for a potential endgame, I'm working under the assumption that he's not planning something sinister, because I don't think they'd let him work at the school if he was, and if he is, then he's gonna be recruiting whether he sees us all in action or not. But he won't, I'm sure." He had enough optimism for everyone.

Okay, now Alex looked like he was judging you, Billy. "You do know this school employed Deadpool? And, like, you remember what the board was like when they showed up? And you're banking on 'they wouldn't hire him if he was planning something?' Dude. I don't think they're that picky."

"Yeah, I remember the board," Billy said with a hint of bitterness. "Maybe they're not that picky, but Magneto hasn't done anything awful so far, right? He's not a completely terrible person, and he has reasons for being the way he is." Maybe not good ones, but shhh, details.

"...you do mean, like, 'on the island,' right?" Alex had to check. It seemed kind of weird to him, just writing off all the awful stuff someone had done before, but again, with his dad he didn't have that much room to talk.

He also kind of wanted to ask if Billy would be saying the same thing if Norman Osborn showed up, but combined with the way people lined up to be friends with Loki, he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer.

"Yeah, I meant on the island. I know he's not a great guy," Billy admitted quietly. Why couldn't he be related to completely honorable people? "I was kind of hoping no one would be discouraged from joining if he was involved."
