When the students walked into the classroom, their teachers weren't immediately visible. That was probably bad. Was it because of the caroling gremlins? Was it part of the class?

Yes.

The answer was yes.

Tony peeked out from behind the desk after a moment, clutching two brightly colored squirtguns. "Welcome back, Captain Rogers is around here somewhere, But we thought a little game would help with this inventor. His name is Lonnie Johnson and he, after a career with both the US Air Force and NASA, went on to invent one of the most famous toys of the 90's... the Super Soaker. Of which, there will be one ~~handwavily~~ of which under each of your desks for this class."

Steve's voice came from the ceiling: don't ask how he got up there. "The Super Soaker is one of the most successful toys ever," he said, "with over one billion dollars in sales. Originally called the Power Drench, Johnson tweaked the name a bit and holds more than 250 patents, mostly in different designs of Super Soakers."

He flipped down behind Tony and shot him with water, snickering a bit.

Tony huffed, but didn't retaliate. Well, not right away. "So, in honor of this amazing toy... water fight."

And then he shot Steve back.
