"How are you feeling this morning, Jack?" Steve asked as they walked back to their room after breakfast.

"A little nervous. Is that weird?"

"I don't think so. I was terrified my first day. I came here as part of an experiment, I was a skinny little snot from Brooklyn."

Jack turned to examine Steve as they walked. He found it hard to believe that the older, linebacker built boy had been skinny and short.

"I see that look." Steve chuckled. "I've got pictures from back then. I was an asthmatic and had quite a few health problems. They chose me because I'm a good man, apparently."

"Are you the only one they modified?" Jack asked curiously.

Steve was silent for a moment.

"Technically, yes." He finally said.

"Technically?"

"There was a kid who got booted out of the experiment because he didn't have the capabilities they were looking for. A few years older than me, really full of himself. He tried to prove them wrong by sneaking into the lab and injecting himself with the experimental serum."

They reached their room and Steve held the door open for Jack.

"What happened to him?"

"He mutated and was expelled from the school a week later for various reasons." Steve said shortly.

"Oh."

There was a knock at their partially opened door and Steve called, "Come in."

An unfamiliar girl of about 18 stepped in.

"I'm supposed to take Jack to his first class." She said, glancing at the two in the room. "I assume you're him?"

Jack nodded. "Yeah, that's me."

She looked him up and down, then nodded once. "Come with me."

Her white hair whipped behind her as she turned sharply and walked out the door. Jack glanced at Steve, who made a shooing motion at him.

"Wait up!" The girl didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, so Jack ran to catch up to her, then fell in step with her.

They walked in silence for a few minutes.

"So what's your name?" Jack finally asked.

"Ororo."

"Interesting name."

Ororo nodded once and kept walking. Jack frowned at her cold exterior.

"So where are we going?" He asked.

"To class."

"What kind of class?" He clarified.

"GSC."

Jack ran through his memories from what Tony and Steve had said the night before.

"General Super class? What's it called?"

"Final Decisions." Ororo turned a corner without warning, and Jack once again had to speed up to keep in step with her. He decided to wait until he could ask Steve about some more of the school's intricacies, this girl obviously didn't want to talk to him.

They stopped at a classroom and Ororo pulled the door open, stepping inside.

There was no teacher in the front of the room, but Tony waved at Jack from the other end of the room.

"What was for breakfast?" The dark haired boy asked when Jack sat down next to him.

"Eggs and bacon. I saw you weren't there, what were you doing?"

Tony grinned. "Working on my suit. I'll show it to you sometimes, it's pretty cool."

"Okay."

Tony turned to face the front and something smacked him in the forehead.

"Gross!" He muttered, flicking the spitball off his head. He rubbed his shirt sleeve across his forehead, then glared up in front of him at the person who had sent the projectile his way.

"Who's that?" Jack asked.

The boy smirking back at them had dark hair that was kind of floppy. He had green eyes and an irritatingly smug look on his face.

"Loki." Tony growled quietly. "He's a OWMS, thinks he's the greatest thing to walk the earth."

The kid next to Loki, a hulking boy with long blond hair, grabbed his desk-mate and turned him around.

"That's Thor, Loki's brother. He's not as bad as the rest of them." Tony said quietly.

The door to the classroom opened and a woman with dark red hair and blue eyes walked in. She was athletically built and carried herself in a way that said she knew exactly what she was doing at all times.

"Good morning, class. I am your professor, Ida Langston." She scribbled her name on the board in a curving hand. "In this class we will be discussing the tough decisions you may have to make as a superhero and what the best action to take for each is."

Her gaze scanned the room, stopping on each student for a moment before moving on. "For those of you new to this school, classes are not based on age. You will be put in classes that are important to your super-class. As you hone your skills, your GSCs and Double-Ses will change. Your CSCs will remain the same and will be assigned based on age."

She wrote out another name on the board. "In the event I am unable to teach class, James Marcus will be teaching instead. Now, I see we have some new students in this class, so we're going to begin by going around the room. Tell your name and your class if you know it, if you don't just say Unknown. Let's start with you."

She pointed to the back of the room and the girl there stood up. "Raven Darkhölme. NPCS."

"Good. Next."
