Avengers Academy presents, homeless and looking!

Man, you act like being photogenic is a bad thing. Those icons aren't gonna make themselves.

Now here's the deal. You wanna drop me in a game? Sure, fine, whatever, have fun, can't be any worse than some places I've been. Two requirements. I want a generous timeshare in the limelight, and let's say-- six hot chicks to cater to my every whim. At least six. Harems are the new black.

Also - no Survivor. Just putting that out there.

Not really. No X-gene.

[aka: Marvel doesn't know how the fuck to explain there being people with superpowers running around after M-Day so everything becomes 'IDK MAN I JUST HAVE THIS ABILITIY...']

Is that what they're calling it.

And how does one stumble onto this career path? Do they recruit children your age?

[blackandlight]

It's called 'get kidnapped by a psychopathic villain and fail your psych profile to the point the Avengers think you might end up a danger to society if they don't scare you straight'.

More or less.

[ Cue eyebrow raise. ]

And are you? 'Scared straight?'

[blackandlight]

Well, I've only electrocuted one guy on youtube so far. Jury must be hung.

[he doesn't sound super broken up about it, though.]

[metalwield]

As long as they aren't keeping you against your will.

[ This is obviously a bigger concern to Erik, who also doesn't seem to mind that some dude got electrocuted on some kind of tube. ]

Are you kidding? Half the time they want to kick me out. I think they'd throw a party if I packed up and left.

[he says this with typical teenager bravado, but really, he doesn't want to leave.

It's not that he likes it there (he doesn't) or gives a shit about the teachers (even Tigra) or anything sentimental like that.

It's just. You know. It looks good on a resume. Being trained by the Avengers.]
