Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

With the name of the class and all, it probably shouldn't be that big a shock that the teacher was a bit full of himself.

But really, there was no way to expect there would be a throne at the front of the room in which a guy in armor was holding what could only be described as a pimp chalice. He wasn't even drinking from it. You'd think he would need a straw to drink anyway, but he definitely didn't have that.

"It is time for the introduction," Doom said. "I AM DOCTOR DOOM. You may address me as 'Doctor.' You WILL address me with the respect deserved the monarch of Latveria. And you MUST acknowledge me as your superior, whether you'd like to or not."

"I possess the greatest scientific mind in my world," Doom stated. "Dimensional travel. Time travel. Advanced robotics. These are things I mastered before ALL OTHERS in my world. And the greatness of Doom stretches to this very island, when as a youth, Doom played the hero, thwarting the plans of the so-called Weeping Angels by inventing a machine to transport time-lost Fandomites back to their present using nothing but Victorian technology, a local assistant, and an intellect well ahead of its time even in the present."

"Over the next several weeks, you will learn scientific truths that you shall only begin to comprehend. I will demean myself by attempting to speak at your level. Attempt to keep up and you will learn much. In time, you may even come to understand it."

"For the rest of this class period, speak amongst yourselves. Give introductions if you must. But know this. If you wish for Doom to know your name, you will have to PROVE that you are worth remembering. You will receive your first opportunity next week."

"Do you know very much Science already?" You could probably hear the awe and the capital letter in that.

She could! Kind of. And it was a little disturbing to her, although that was hardly Cecil's fault. She knew not everyone came from Marvel the same world as her.

"Um, not really?"

Not everybody had Reed Richards as a shining example of How Not to Science.

"Oh, good." Cecil heaved a sigh of relief. "I was starting to worry this might be too advanced."

"It... still might be," Karolina hazarded. She bit on her lip and lowered her voice further. "You, um, you probably don't know who Doctor Doom is, do you?"

"He said he's the monarch of somewhere? I don't think we have his country where I'm from, but I could be wrong." Cecil frowned thoughtfully at the teacher. "I don't recognize him."

"He's kind of well-known where I'm from."

Also a robot version of him had killed the mother of one of her friends, but that wasn't really something you shared with strangers.

Especially within earshot of Doom himself.

"Neat, a celebrity teacher!" Cecil smiled. "Is he really as smart as he says?"

Re: During the Lecture

"I guess so?" Karolina replied, although the hesitation was obvious. Still, she wouldn't deny it. "But he's not really a good kind of famous."

"Oh. Why not?" He knew not all scientists could be as marvelous as Carlos, but still.
