The Academy
The following are interviews with three potential teachers at the Academy. Recorded by Professor Charles Xavier.
Subject 1. Bruce Wayne/ Batman
X: Hello, Mr. Wayne.
(Wayne enters, eyes barely visible through the hood of his costume)
Wayne: Hello, Charles.
(Wayne abruptly takes a seat across from Xavier's desk.)
X: So, I'm guessing you want to teach here at the Academy?
Wayne: (nodding) Yes.
X: And what exactly is your... "power".
Wayne: Well, I don't exactly have one. You see, I keep myself in good shape, but I use technology to my advantage, and I use different fighting styles.
X: (smiling) Really now? Let's see... Hm... Could you hold your own against 'powered' beings?
Wayne: (nods again) Most definately. I have arrested many 'powered' beings. You see, back in Gotham...
X: (interrupting) Mr. Wayne, you came from Gotham? Were you involved in the mass bombing fiasco...
Wayne: Yes sir. I like to think I helped prevent it. You see, the Joker...
X: Yes yes I know the details. Well Mr. Wayne... Hm... Would you consider yourself a weapon specialist?
Wayne: (shaking head) I have sworn against using firearms.
X: Of course! Firearms are out of the question for students. I only allow them for agents, and even then I am against them.
Wayne: (smiling slightly) Yes... Well then.
X: Yes. Well, I think you have acquired a job Mr. Wayne.
(The two shake hands, and Wayne leaves)
Subject 2. Wolverine/ Logan
Logan: Hello, Charles. It's been a while.
X: Yes Logan it has. So I assume you want a teaching job?
Logan: (nodding) Yes sir. I think you are aware of my... abilities.
X: Yes yes. I think an interview would be pointless. Between you and me you already have a job.
Logan: (smiles) Thank you Charles.
X: Be careful Logan.
Subject 3. Dr. Manhattan
Manhattan: Xavier. I wish to be a teacher
X: Yes, I know. I am aware of your...abilities. I'm not sure if you'll be right for the job. Judging by your history... I don't want one of my students vaporized in the middle of class.
Manhattan: (tilts his head down, closing his eyes) I'm aware of my past. I'm sorry for what I have done. I have... control over my powers now.
X: (sighing) I see. Well, I guess I'll give you a chance...
Manhattan: Thank you. You won't regret it. Let's hope not.
(He teleports away) (X sighs)
Just so you guys know, this story won't be like that. It will be in a third person perspective. It will feature characters from Marvel and DC, as well as a few Image and Dark Horse. The premise of the story is as follows:
The Academy is a place for fledging heroes struggling to control their abilities. It has some of the finest teachers in the world. But even in a seemingly perfect place, their have to be some dark secrets. Secrets that can't be held for long.
So anyway, review. Tell me a few student ideas. I have Spidey down for sure to be a student. More teachers and students will showup along the way. This will be sort of like a highschool, except throw in heroes, villains, betrayal, death, homicide, and everything else. I expect this to be MY story. The story that I concentrate on. That I work to finish. So, review. Next chapter coming soon.
