The Future Is Swell, Wednesday, January 2, 2019

You kids got real lucky these two guys weren't still teaching civics, because the rants about shutting down the government would be... extensive.

Instead, there was,just occasional angry phone checking.

So. Dodged a bullet.

"Hi, welcome to The Future is Swell. I didn't name it, I promise," Tony said helpfully. "My name is Tony Stark, feel free to call me Tony if you like."

"What's wrong with saying that the future is swell?" asked the one who named the class. "I'm Steve Rogers. Feel free to call me...Mr. Rogers."

Because he was still old-fashioned enough to find it weird for students to call him by his first name. "This class is going to be more in Tony's area of expertise--lots of building things."

"Or, at least, trying to build things," Tony said with a grin. "But first, we'd like to get to know you all. Your names, where you're coming from, and what you'd like to see become reality techwise."

"Flying cars!" Steve said immediately.

"The church wants to keep separate from the government," Nell explained. "So, they'uns don't use those utilities that would have your name or information. My husband, John, has a solar energy system that gives us enough to run the lights a little in the winter and a little electricity for other things. It would be nice if there was a more compact, less expensive system that was reliable and could produce and store more energy."

Don't let the accent fool you. She might be backwoods and church schooled, but she was a pretty smart cookie.

Nooo, nooo. His concerns didn't factor in the accent after that.

"We'll see what we can manage for you," he promised faintly.
