Superheroing 101- Monday- 3rd period

[throughaphase]

"Morning, everybody. Welcome to Superheroing 101, and probably the only time you'll be in a classroom fir the rest of the semester. Mostly we're going to be in the Danger Shop, working through scenarios and testing what you can do.

"For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kitty Pryde, and I'm a mutant who's been a superhero since I was thirteen. I'm technically out of it right now but still go back to it when they need me. I think I've kind of been through it all by now, and while there are some really heavy parts to it, it can also be a lot of fun, and when you get down to it, it's all about helping people.

"So," Kitty said, "we're going to start with introductions today. I want your name, where you're from, and any powers you're willing to disclose. Don't feel like you have to. And then we're going to think about what kind of superhero you'd want to be."

"What kind of hero would you want to be?" Kitty asked, passing out paper for people to write or draw on. "Is there a reason behind it? What kind of code name do you want? Next week we're definitely working on costumes so do you have ideas there? Feel free to talk to each other and help each other out."

"So, I have noooo idea, what kind of superhero I should be," Miles admitted. "The only hero I know of is Spider-Man and-"

His dad so hated Spider-Man.

"I'd like something different than that. Could I be... Art Man?"

Which is one letter away from Ant-Man and much less cooler.

Illyana just wrote "NO" on her page, then put her head back down on her desk, because she was still exhausted from yesterday. Or, apparently, exhausted from the last year, even though it felt like a week to her.

Being a Sorcerer Supreme wasn't being a hero. It was a job. One that Yana was uniquely suited for, but a job. And not one with a flashy code name.

"Well, I mean...I'm She-Ra?" Was she doing something wrong by being in this class while already being her? Did she have to try and be someone else too? Was she going to fail and have to leave this school that she didn't really want to be at, but she didn't have anywhere else to go and no way to get home? Did she need to fail this class to get home?

Sorry, Kitty, Adora's crippling self-doubt had joined the chat.
