Period 7

The class of 20 (21 – Vision) walked into their Period 7 classroom, English. The room was huge and dimly lit. It looked like a kind of mystical library. All was explained when Doctor Strange entered the room.

"Welcome, class," he said.

"Well, at least he's not the physics teacher..." Spider-Man thought out loud.

"Mr. Parker! Don't insult your teacher!"

"Oh, did I say that out loud?"

"Anyway," Dr. Strange declared, "it is time for us to read Tom Sawyer, an excellent book by Mark Twain. I will now mystically pass these out to you." And so, Doctor Strange held up his hand and waved away the Tom Sawyer books to the class.

"Say, where is Mr. Shade?" Strange asked as he spotted the empty seat.

"Ultron killed him," Banner explained, "but Thing predicted that he'll return since this is Marvel."

"Oh, why thank you, Mr. Banner," Strange said politely. "Wait a minute... There is something strange about you."

"That's 'cause I'm the Hulk."

"Ha, ha," Strange said, sarcastically, "very funny."

"No, seriously," Banner repeated. "I really am the Hulk."

"Wait," Strange said, "I will use the all-seeing Eye of Agamotto." And then, he waved and gasped. "Oh my! The Eye of Agamotto is showing me a great horror in your future!"

"Duh, I'm the Hulk!"

"Banner, beware!"

Meanwhile, across the room, Reed, Sue, Ben, Johnny, Peter, Steve, Tony, and basically everyone else were speaking with each other.

"So, if we want Doom to be our monkey-boy, I gotta get a high grade on this test."

"Well, I bet that Doom'll cheat," Frank Castle, the Punisher, said.

"Please don't tell me you wanna even the score," Spider-Man moaned.

"Why not? The villains are cheating; why can't we?"

"Forget it!" Thing said. "Reed'll be able to get 110 without cheatin'! He's a genius!"

"I'm not so sure, Ben," Mister Fantastic replied. "The bonus questions are bound to be hard."

"Perhaps you should ask your guidance counselor for help," Captain America suggested.

"Who is your guidance counselor, Reed?" Invisible Woman wondered.

"Mephisto," Reed responded. "Think he'll be a good one?"

"Beats me," Iron Man said. "I didn't get him, so I didn't bother looking him up on RateMyTeachers."

"Well, anything's worth the shot," Kurt decided.

"Okay, guys," Reed said. "I'll go see him after school at 2:20 PM. Thanks for the help!"
