BlackRoseApocalyps: Basically it's the 'troubled' class, it the ones that are 'special'.
The Uncanny R-Man: Hey thanks I needed those guys. Plus Paige and Jubilee might be X-Men but they're still teenagers and need an education. They still go out on missions, but you got to wonder would Xavier just let them walk around with nothing to do?
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 6: FIRST DAY ON THE JOB PART 2
The launch bell had rung and the students were pilling out. Peter put away everything in his case and went to the cafeteria since he forgot to bring anything for lunch. He was walking to halls when he nearly collided with someone.
It really wasn't his fault since she came through the wall, or phased through to be exact. "Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't know anyone was there." She said. Peter recognized her a Kitty Pryde.
"No problem, miss...uh, sorry I don't think I saw you earlier." Peter said which was technically true. He didn't see her earlier. "Oh that's right you're the new guy right? I'm Katharine Pryde, but you can just call me Kitty. As for why you didn't meet me earlier I just got back here a couple of days ago."
"Ah, so are you a teacher or something?" Peter asked her. The last he heard she was working on something in collage. Kitty smiled hugely at him. "Don't let my youthful appearance fool you. I teach the computer science classes."
Peter couldn't help but smile at her attitude. "So are you heading for lunch?" She asked him. "Yeah, but tell me is the food here better then normal high school food? Because I forgot to bag it today."
Kitty laughed, she knew exactly what he meant. "Don't worry the food here my not be restaurant quality but it's better then what I got in high school. You want me to show you the way?" Peter nodded his head. "Sure I could use a refresher course in this place."
"Tell me about it, first time I got here I got lost so many times." Kitty smiled at her earlier memories. Things were so different and simpler then. They talked on the way and Kitty was glad to finally have someone else that she could take to about computers and science and not be bored. The only other one was Hank, which she was glad for but a few others would be nice.
They got their food and made their way to the tables. Kitty waved to one of the 'teachers' tables and someone waved them in. "Coming?" She asked Peter. Since he wanted to fit in more with the people he was working with he smiled and nodded his head. Although for some reason he felt like he was in high school again.
They made their way there and sat down. Peter noticed the table held Warren, Emma, Rahne and Dani so far. "Hey so how's the first day going?" Dani asked him, who was sitting across from him.
Peter shrugged. "Day ain't over yet, but so far so good." Dani seemed pleased at the news. "So what do you have next?" Peter thought about it. "Something called the Remedial class next." He saw several of the teachers winch at the name.
"What?" he asked, and he swore his spider-sense went off for a second. "Well that class used to be taught under...someone else. But now that...person is no longer here, so they get moved around with the other teachers until a permanent one can be found." (1)
"Like anyone in their right mind would do that." Emma said under her breath.
Jubilee and Paige walked by. "Hey guys, hi Mr. Parker...Warren." Paige said. She shared a look with Warren and Jubilee rolled her eyes, which is why she missed a puddle of juice on the ground and began to slip. Peter's spider- sense went off and he immediately turned in his seat and caught her.
Luckily Jubilee had kept a grip on her tray. "You alright?" Peter asked her. Jubilee blushed slightly and quickly got up. "Um, yeah, thanks, bye." She said and walked off, while Paige cover her mouth trying to stop laughing and followed her friend.
"Whoa nice reflexes ladie." Rahne said. Peter suddenly saw how everyone was looking at him. "Uh, well thanks. Living in New York it pays to have good reflexes for dodging muggers, bullets, and super-villains."
"Yeah New York does seem to get it's share fare of trouble. I guess that's why so many heroes are there." Kitty said before taking a bit out of a sandwich.
"Tell me about it." Peter said to her and began to eat his lunch.
After lunch it was time to go back to class. He waited for this new group. As they came in he noticed that they were a little more...odd then the rest.
"Okay since I'm new could we go through the attendance?" It was a small group. Just this one kid Beak, Angel, Ernst and when he got to Basilisk, a huge guy with no real face, only what passed for a mouth and some kind of small metallic circle for an eye, spoke up.
"Don't forget about No-Girl." He said. Peter looked down at his sheet. There was no mention of a 'No-Girl' in it. "Don't worry she's incorporeal." Peter was about to mark her down then stopped.
"If she's incorporeal how does anyone know she exist?" Peter said giving him a suspicious look. "Busted." Beak, a boy that looked like a cross between a man and some kind of bird, said to him. "Looks like he's a lot smarter then Xorn was."
"Actually he was a lot smarter considering who he really was remember?" Angel told him. "Oh right." Beak said quietly.
"Okay so who's Martha Johnson?" Peter said. Ernst who looked like a vary old little person held up a glass sphere containing a brain. Peter paled at the sight. "You're kidding me right?"
Angel the dark skinned girl with wings spoke up. "Yeah these U-Men assholes cut out her brain and put it in there. She's aware of everything...I think." Peter looked back to the glass container. He'd seen a lot of twisted and sick things in his life that people had done to one another. But this went into his top five.
"That's sadistic." He said with a hint of anger in his voice at what was done.
"Well it's nice to know at least one human thinks so. I mean some of those creeps tried to cut my wings off!" Angel said angrily, Peter noticed how Beak put his hands on her shoulder and she calmed down.
He tried to get the class going, but it was like an uphill battle. Beak bless him was a good kid, just not too sharp. Basilisk kept making jokes or interrupting, and the others...well he didn't want to think about that just yet.
After the small 'unique' class left there was a short period of time before his next one. He went to the Teachers Room, and flopped down on the couch. He threw one arm over his eyes and tried not to think about what he just went through.
"Remedial class right?" He moved his arm and opened his eyes to see Kurt standing in the room grabbing some coffee. "How'd you guess?" Peter said sarcastically.
Kurt smiled at him. "First time anyone has that class they do the same thing, or they start slamming their head into a wall." Peter had to smile at his attempt to lighten the mood. "Yeah well if I did that, it would make this headache I feel even worse."
Kurt shook his head good-naturedly. "Well I hope the next classes are better."
"Thanks." Peter said and went back to thinking about forgetting about the last class.
BACK AT HIS HOME
Peter came back after classes were finished. He didn't feel like web slinging home so he took a bus and then a couple of subways back. He opened the door and place his suitcase in the bedroom so it was safely out of the way.
"So how was your first day tiger?" MJ said coming in from the bathroom. Peter smiled up at her. "Well I had a mostly good classes with the exception of one, and I got a few school girl crushes on me already, I nearly let my identity out on the first day, met a few nice people, and I think there are a few really bright kids in my class."
MJ smiled at how happy he sounded. "Wait a minute. What school girl crushes?"
