Monday - period 1 - Fuck Yeah Science

Once again it was Monday and 8:00. Time for science class!

The usual notices went out to the students in typical handwavy fashion requesting that they wear tank tops to class. If they did not have one Barry would provide. Along with that notice was to meet in the park once again where Barry had arranged a tent for changing (much smaller this time) and a table with coffee and snacks.

And yes, there was another table covered in a sheet.

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return,” Barry said once everyone had gathered. “That’s not me saying that. It’s fucking Leonardo Da Vinci. Who for being the bastard son of a peasant girl did pretty well for himself. As for me bullshiting around with one of his famous quotes, that’s just my clumsy way of saying we’re going flying today.”

He pulled back the sheet to reveal... cans of RedBull and goggles. “Everyone here can drink one of these and... well fuck. I’ll just demonstrate. “

Barry opened a can and took a long drink. Moments later feathers and then eventually wings sprouted from his back. He began to flap and eventually was hovering above the students.

“Yeah. That’s what is fucking happening right now,” he said with a grin. “And if growing wings or fighting gravity isn’t for you-“

He motioned to another table filled with books.

-“You can write an essay on birds today. Don’t forget for everyone flying to wear the goggles to protect your eyes. Also make sure to write down your observations about flight in your journals.”

Sorry, Arabella. This was as good at lying as he got.

"Yeah," he said, trying to not look as wistful as he felt, staring up into the sky. It was a beautiful day for flying. "I'm good. I just. Really am scared of the. Flying."

"You don't have to go really high," Arabella pointed out, even though come on, they both knew that wasn't the real problem.

She was, because she had zero fear of heights, real or fake.

"Phobia!" Julius said quickly. "Terrible phobia. Of heights. Higher than my head and I get all swimmy."

He was trying so hard.

Good thing he wasn't particularly attached to his pride or anything.

Oh, well. She'd tried. If Julius didn't want to fly that was his business. "Good luck with your essay, then!" she called, and flew higher. Like, several stories higher. She wanted to see what the world looked like from Beast eye level when she wasn't the Beast.

And Julius watched after her with longing, brilliant green eyes. Flight.

Stupid essay.
