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."

"Well, sure," Miles said happily.

His Dad was not on that beat.

"Just tell me what you want and where and I'll be happy to do it."

This was possibly the best revenge ever for being sent back to high school.

"You gotta wade through the Village hippies to get there," she apologized, "but it'll be worth it. 177A Bleecker Street, I think the 'don't look here' spell has it looking a future Starbucks right now."

"Check in with me before you head over, I'll whip up a charm to hide you from sight while you're working."

"Wait. Hold up. You can make me invisible?" Miles asked, looking completely amazed. "Oh man, I could get so much work up if I could do that."

"It's not true invisibility, that's a pain in the ass," Illyana replied. "More like.... people look at you, they step around you, but they don't register that you're there, or even that you're a you, let alone remember that they saw you."

Okay. Maybe the weirdness of this school has some benefits.

"So I could be right outside a police station painting a smiley face and the cops would just walk by?"

This had so many possibilities.

"I mean, if one of the cops had a magical ability that I didn't know about, or a mutant super-sense, they might catch on. I can't ward against people with powers I don't know about," Illyana admitted.

"Well as far as I know we don't have anyone magical or mutant-like where I'm from-"

Damn it Sony.

"So hey, that would be such a cool feat."

"Bring me something of yours, Brooklyn, that you'd take with you when you're out working on your pieces," Illyana intoned dramatically, doing her best 'Stephen Strange in full Sorcerer Supreme' mode imitation as her eyes glowed white for a moment. "I'll see what magics I can fold into it."

Then she blinked, and put her head back down on her desk. "Just don't go burning down the Village with it or anything. There's limits to how much of a disturbance a 'don't see me' can hide."

Re: Introductions

"Sure thing!" Miles agreed. "And, yeah, don't worry. Burning down things isn't my style. My Dad's a cop so even if I was invisible or under whatever it is you do, he'd still bust me if I did something wrong."
