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."

"Hey, I'm Cosima Niehaus," Cosima said, with a quick waggled-fingers wave. "And I think everybody should know about the 1953 discovery of the structure of DNA, which is pretty much the basis of modern medicine and biological research."

"Well, technically it was in Cambridge, but you didn't say it had to be American history so I figured it was fair game," Cosima conceded. "And thanks. I think that's what my parents were going for."

Oh look, it was Isabela's New Friend! Wasn't he a peach?

"H'llo, 'm Ada Miller," she said, giving a little wave. "And, um, I ain't that great with history--" Or actual school topics in general, given that she'd thought England was imaginary until she'd met Lottie. "--but I know that there's 44,000 miles of U.S. highway used to move goods and people, and that was developed in the 20th century."

Look, that sort of thing was important when you grew up on the road nine months out of the year.

"I'm Raven Darkholme," Raven said. "I'd go with the first moon landing in 1969. Of course, then we got bored of going to the moon three years later, instead of building moon colonies or anything, but still. Man has walked on the moon."

And only men. Dammit.

"Eric Bittle," he introduced himself. "And, well, I think it's important that we pay attention to some of the not so great parts of American history, too."

Kira had been certain she was going to hate this class, but she'd been so very wrong. Steve was very pretty, and she almost felt bad being unpatriotic.

"I'm Kira Yukimura and I'm going to agree with Eric that we should learn about some of the not great things that have happened in America, like maybe the Japanese internment during World War II?" she said.
