Cultural Exploration [Friday, 2nd Period]

Clint had triple checked that everything was set at the Portalocity office in town for this class - call it first day nervousness, call it a desire to not get fired for losing students via portals, but either way Clint was ready to go by the time everyone arrived.

"Hey guys," he said, giving everyone his most easygoing smile. "Welcome to Cultural Exploration. I hope you're all in the right place, and if you're not, you're welcome to come along for the ride anyway. I'm Clint Barton, and you can call me Mr. Barton if you want to, but it's also cool if you don't want to be that formal or whatever. Today, we're going to start off by visiting Paris, France. I have some places I want you to check out, and we'll get to all the introduction stuff at the end."

He was pretty sure there was a rule against not having introduction time somewhere in the school handbook, but finding out for certain would involve reading it, and that just wasn't happening.

Next, the class headed for the Eiffel Tower to be truly stereotypical tourists. Once everyone had gotten their fill of the outside view, the lift would take everyone up to the second floor observation level for an inside look. Or you could climb 600 stairs and work off your food, if you were so inclined.

Alec could say that his choice to take the stairs had to do with working off his lunch, but that would be a lie. He just wasn't keen on squeezing into a crowded lift with his peers. Even taking the stairs, he was able to make it up to the second floor in no time at all before promptly rejoining the group, because enjoying the view was a mundie thing, apparently.

The view wasn't too bad, Jim had to admit. He hadn't been here in his time and probably wouldn't ever get here ever again so he took a moment to memorize the sight.

Everything was going on Instagram.

Maddie was 100% that person who had this lifelong dream to go to Paris even though she had a whole world to choose from, so she was just going to enjoy herself way too much up here. Could they stay? It'd be dumb to ask but could she do it anyway?

"Can we stay here forever?" Rilla asked, sighing happily.

"I say yes. The teacher-" Shhh, she didn't know what to call him when she was used to 'Hawkeye'. "-might not agree..."

"But it's Paris," Rilla sighed. "Surely he'd be understanding."

"I mean, you could go ask him..." Maddie suggested.

Rilla took a deep breath. "All right (http://fandomhigh.livejournal.com/3435423.html?thread=202389151#t202389151). The worst he can say is no, right?"

Mercy went up the stairs mostly to see if she could make it faster than the elevator. Which she almost did.

Yeul drank in the view for a while. It was quite lovely, if not the most impressive that she'd seen.

Okay, this view? It could stay. Or really, Alex wished she could stay.

Goose chose to do the stairs, mostly to see just how fast he could go up them and he made it in a pretty decent time.

He did have to admit that he did like the view though.
