20th Century American History, Friday, January 8, 2016

A tall blond man in a hideous plaid shirt and pleated khakis and the shoulder to hip ratio of a Dorito stood at the front of the classroom, trying not to feel like a performing monkey again.

"Hello," he said. "I'm your teacher. Apparently. I'm Steve Rogers, and some of you may recognize me from your own...realities."

He was pleased at how normal he sounded saying that aloud.

"But if not, that's completely fine." Really. Better than fine, if you asked Steve. "This is 20th Century American History, but if you don't know history or aren't American, that's all right, too. We're going to be learning together. My knowledge ends around World War II," if you didn't count the pop culture references Tony had been throwing at him since Wednesday, "but I'm a fast learner." He pulled out a little paper notebook. "So let's start with who everyone is and something you think we should all know about the 20th Century. I'll start. The internet is so helpful."

You sound a million years old, Steve. "I've been using it to catch up. Back home, I would have had to hoof it down to the library instead." He pointed to the student straight in front of him. "Now you."

Jalian nodded curtly. "In the year 2007, there was a nuclear war that destroyed civilization. In this timeline, it is currently the year 2016, so this has not happened. But the Cold War exists in both timelines, so I would like to learn what causes that baseline divergence."
