Feeling the aster

[justdickingaround]

Well, so far, so good. It took some guts taking a new muse on a dry run, but the results have been worth it, haven't they?

I know, you wish the rest of the team was there, even if it is an AU. So do I. After all, it's not like that much would have to change to make everyone fit. Except maybe Miss M, but that would just require some creative thinking.

Don't worry, we'll just plan for it in case it happens. As it is, I'm sure you'll give me plenty to do in the meantime.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

And how are your grades?

[justdickingaround]

Hey, I just started, all right?

But I think you can guess.

[flashtastic]

I have a pretty good idea, but I still want to see your next report card to make sure.

And they better be up to task. I mean, I'd really hate to have to show up there just because you can't take your academic responsibilities seriously.

[justdickingaround]

Hey, I'll compare math test scores with you any day.

If you came, you might not want to leave. It's nothing but superpowered teachers and students, as far as the eye can see.

[flashtastic]

And I'd run laps around you when it comes to science.

[And in Wally's world, everyone important knows that science trumps math.]

So it's a school of superheroes? That doesn't sound too bad.

[justdickingaround]

But not in the 'creative use of puns' department.

Superheroes and superheroes-in-training. It's an AU... 'alternate universe,' where everyone involved is a metahuman. Mutant. Roughly the same thing, in this case.

[flashtastic]

Don't you teach that class?

Does that mean you got powers?

[justdickingaround]

I do have a master's degree in the subject.

I do. 'Perfect Eidetic Memory.' It's come in really handy in the past, apparently.

[flashtastic]

You say that like it's something to be proud of. [He's teasing, of course.]

I bet. But to be honest, I was hoping you'd have a really lame power since you don't even need them.

[justdickingaround]

You say that like it's not. [It's why he can get away with it.]

Trust me, I'm still as well-trained. Being able to remember things with perfect clarity doesn't help when you're fighting mutants who can breathe fire or teleport. Might as well not have a power.

[flashtastic]

I suppose some of them could be a little clever.

Hey, like I said, you never needed them anyway.

[justdickingaround]

It's bound to happen, right?

Yeah, you're right. And, hey, at least I don't have some power that would steal your thunder, right?
