The Avengers: Schooled!
Summary: (AU) "We don't fit in with the normal crowd because we're not normal. And because we're not normal, we're special- or at least, that's what they wanted us to think."
Warning: "This will be a relatively tame fanfic, with the exception of some violence, blood, major angst, alcohol, and some other, adult situations. So, to be on the safe side, we'll be going with T. I have watched both Thor movies and the Avenger's movie, but this does not mean that I am perfect and/or know absolutely everything there is to know about, and I'm bound to forget or misuse something. So, with that, please forgive me if I screw up, and just enjoy the story."

Chapter One: The New Kids.
In Nick Fury's office, there is supposedly a very special folder hidden under lock and key. This folder is said to contain just three separate reports, because before today, he just had three students. Accompanying each report is a single, wallet-sized photograph, much like those you'd expect to find in any old school's yearbook.
But the Avengers Institution wasn't just any old school, and the students were anything but normal.
For example, this is what the first and oldest report said:
Full Name: Bruce Banner
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Birth Date: August 15th 1990
Arrival Date: January 22nd 2007
Leaving Date: N/A
Eye Color: Black
Hair Color: Black
Height: 5ft., 11 in.
Weight: 160.7 lbs.
Abilities: Transforms into a near-indestructible, uncontrollable berserker. Triggered by extreme anger, stress.
Special Notes: Enjoys scientific and mathematical studies. Doesn't trust anyone because of traumatic past. Patient and composed at all times and complete with a long fuse, but always approach and handle with extreme caution.
Danger Level: 10/10
Attached to the short, simple report was the photograph. Banner had short, wavy black hair, and bespectacled, beetle-black eyes that glistened with an unnatural, jade-green tint. His demeanor and expression were both stern and stiff; and he wasn't smiling- but he wasn't quite frowning, either. The man stared up at the camera as though he were merely tolerating the man behind it.
Full Name: Anthony "Tony" Stark
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birth Date: October 21st 1994
Arrival Date: November 5th 2011
Leaving Date: N/A
Eye Color: Black
Hair Color: Brown
Height: 5 ft., 9 in.
Weight: 152.3 lbs.
Abilities: Brilliant mind, top-notch gadgets, all invented by himself personally, some military experience.
Special Notes: A narcissist and a real smart ass to boot. Lost his parents in an accident last year. He's as intelligent as Banner, but he doesn't have his good temperament or tact. At all. Strong distrust of SHIELD noted.
Danger Level: 8/10
Unlike Banner, Stark had utterly refused to have his picture taken, and they'd ended up shooting one from a distance to prevent the teen from throwing a fit. In the photograph, his arms were folded tightly over his chest and his jaw was set. He was half-turned, as though he hadn't seen the camera. His dark brown hair was slicked neatly back, and his dark eyes were narrowed in concentration. Beside him, was Banner, pointing at something, though if one looked closely, his eyes were directed sneakily at the camera.
Full Name: Steve Rogers
Gender: Male
Age: CLASSIFED
Birth Date: CLASSIFIED
Arrival Date: December 2nd 2012
Leaving Date: N/A
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Height: 5 ft., 10 in.
Weight: 156.5 lbs.
Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, vibranium shield, extensive military experience/training.
Special Notes: A mostly friendly, all-around affable kid. He enjoys watching/playing baseball and looking over post WWII-era history. Spends most of his time researching online or training in the gym.
Danger Level: 5/10
Roger's photograph was the closest to a normal portrait out of the students. He stared calmly at the camera with his arms folded almost proudly behind his back, and there was even a small smile on the man's pale face. He was the most compliant out of the three, including Banner, and never really thought to question them or their motives, which was helpful.
He was a military man, through and through, after all.
Until today, Rogers was their newest, having arrived late last year, and he, thankfully, had had plenty of time to acclimate before this next student arrived.
But this one was not like the others.
And was nothing like SHIELD had ever seen before.
According to the information he had sent the Institution, he came straight out of myth, and it wasn't until Fury met the perspective new student himself did he actually believe he was who he said he was.
Full Name: Thor Odinsson
Gender: Male
Age: UNKNOWN
Birth Date: UNKNOWN
Arrival Date: July 15th 2013
Leaving Date: N/A
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Height:6ft., 2 in.

Abilities: (PENDING)
Special Notes: (PENDING)
Danger Level: ?/10
Thor Odinsson. As in, from the myths.
As in the Norse God of Thunder himself.
The new recruit was tall and muscular with shoulder-length, golden blonde hair and bright, azure eyes- eyes the color of lightning. He had, much to the bemusement of everyone who saw him this afternoon, worn armor and wielded his hammer, which he called "Mjolnir," throughout the brief meeting.
And he wasn't alone.
He brought his brother.
Full Name: Loki Odinsson
Gender: Male
Age: UNKNOWN
Birth Date: UNKNOWN
Arrival Date: July 15th 2013
Leaving Date: N/A
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Black
Height: 6 ft., 0 in.
Weight:161.2 lbs.
Abilities: (PENDING)
Special Notes: (PENDING)
Danger Level: ?/10
Luckily for them, the "younger" God of Mischief, Loki, seemed to be much calmer than his brother, and easily explained the things the boisterous Thor told them with a cool, leveled head, and had even easily stopped the older God from attacking several of the officers who detained them at the entrance of the Institution right off the bat. He had shoulder-length, slicked back raven-black hair and startlingly bright, jade eyes. He'd spoken with diplomacy and great, general knowledge of what he called "mortal ways," and was quite happy to keep the peace throughout the meeting.
He'd even written down some of the things Fury had told them about the school, and had agreed, for the both of them, to allow SHIELD to test their skills and abilities that very afternoon.
Plus, he'd worn normal clothing.
That helped more than some would believe.
Their folders were, quite unfortunately, incomplete, of course, and would have to remain so for the next couple of weeks, if not months, while they were tested and observed.
With any luck, though, the brothers would make great additions to their program.
Fury pinned together the two God's photographs to their respective folders, and put them in with the others, and slipped the documents under his arm as he went back out into the front office. He nodded in greeting at his secretary, Natasha, and she nodded shortly at him before he continued on to the one elevator in the whole, sealed, two-door room, outside which two men waited patiently for him.
The first man was average-sized, suited, and mostly bald. His name was Coulson, and he was the main (and only, really) Professor at the Institution. He was well-mannered and did well with the students, especially Banner, thanks to his friendly, approachable demeanor.
The second was much younger, with long, dark hair tied back into a long, careless ponytail that was thrown casually over his broad shoulders. He wore a black turtleneck, blue jeans, and combat boots, and around his middle were two harnessed pistols. He had kind, hazel eyes and a fixed, soft smile on his pale lips. His name was Julian Grey, he was Coulson's assistant, and it was to him that Fury handed over the files.
"We're dealing with Gods now?" The man joked with a grin, "This wasn't in my job description, Fury."
Fury rolled his one good eye and shot the man a withering look, causing Grey to quickly look away, even though his playful grin never faltered. Truthfully, Fury would have fired Grey a long time ago because of his laid-back, almost unprofessional attitude, but the man seemed to be forever cemented as the student's favorite teacher out of the two there were, and it would upset (and, more importantly, enrage) them all if he were to be dismissed.
Plus, he was the best damned psychologist and profiler in the US, if not the world, having studied his craft throughout the world. He was responsible for all the psychological evaluations on the students, and was the reason the school hadn't burned to the ground yet.
SHIELD needed him on their side.
Probably now more than ever.
Fury was just finishing mulling over the pros and cons of firing him when, just as the three men stepped into the elevator, another man, this one blue-eyed and brown-haired, dressed in an odd, latex-like armored suit, stepped out of the second door.
Clint Barton, the Head of Security, gave the trio a little wave before promptly disappearing back into the room he'd just exited for apparently no reason at all. Even from their position, they could see a high-tech, silver bow, complete with sharp, silver stemmed arrows in a hand-painted, elegant purple quiver, tied to the man's back.
The elevator door closed with a swift, metallic snap just then, and up the three men went.
