Marinette showed Peter and Ganke to their classroom and their seats where Kim and Max normally sat; Peter sat down while Alya came in and Marinette introduced her as her best friend. "So both you boys come from New York, that's where most of the Superheroes in your country are usually; aren't they?"Alya asked and they gave a slight nod; "Well in your luck as not only do I have a huge collection of Majestia comics but I run the Ladyblog; the biggest source of news for Paris' superheroes especially Ladybug and Cat Noir." Alya told them proudly showing them the Ladyblog on her phone.
Ganke seemed interested but Peter was already in high alert, writing down the URL on a notepad he got out. He decided he wanted to check this blog out later for his research on Ladybug and Cat Noir. "Looks like I have a new fan already." Alya laughed and Marinette giggled along with Ganke.
Peter shook his head as Alya then showed them the news footage of Spider-Man from the previous day. "We got a new hero from just yesterday; you will be sure to check it out and my statement on it when I have it posted." Alya stated as Ganke's eyes widened.
"No way; is that the Spider-Man? How did he get all the here to Paris?" Ganke asked as Alya and Marinette blinked and Peter looked nervous.
He was asked if he knew him; "I know about him but he is one of the superheroes out there. Ask Peter as he swings about his neighbourhood." Ganke told them as most of the other students started coming in. Peter was hesitant and silent to say anything about Spider-Man in a class.
Why did he have to go out the previous day again?
Luckily he was saved by the bell as it were as the teacher Ms Bustier came in to start the class. She asked Peter and Ganke to come to the front of the classroom. "Morning class; as you can see our new exchange students all the way from America start today so I hope you will all make them feel very welcome. Peter, Ganke could you introduce yourselves to the class please." Ms Bustier told them as they both cleared their breaths.
"Well hello; I'm Ganke Lee and I come from Brooklyn. I attend Brooklyn Visions where my roommate is my best pal Miles. I like video games, computers, lego and comics. When not at the school I visit my folks at home." Ganke introduced himself to a polite clap from the rest of the class. Peter cleared his breath some more as he realised that he was next.
"Well hi; I'm Peter Parker and I live in Queens with my Aunt May; I have never actually met any queens though." Peter told them and he got some laughs (one stuck up arrogant looking girl looked like she was giving a mocking laugh) making Peter groan. He then continued on "well I go to Midtown school of Science & Technology and I intern at the IT department of this company." Peter finished as he then went back to his seat and put his head down to his arms in shame.
Marinette then went and told him to get up; she then gave him a comforting smile saying she did not think his joke was not too bad. Peter gave a grateful smile in return as she went back to her seat.
"Well I made myself a fool out of the class for my first impression; seems like I made friends with Marinette at least so Parker Luck no so bad so far." Peter thought in his head as they then began the lessons.
Peter did have trouble reading the words in the textbook due to not knowing the French language very well (at least he had the hearing aid devices) but he was able to get through the lessons alright.
At lunch he was looking at the Ladyblog on his phone (the phone had a translation feature) and he was having a look at some footage of Ladybug and Cat Noir in action. Satisfied he had some luck in looking up the heroes; he decided to call the number to Fury.
Fury picked up and Peter was startled that Fury was grunting; "Parker; do you know the concept of 'time difference' because despite what time it might be in Paris; here in the Triskellion... IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING, I AM JUST OUT OF MY BED!" Fury thundered at him startling Peter.
"Sorry Fury, I forgot that detail. It's just that last night I went out and met Ladybug briefly. Plus I found this blog about her and Cat Noir so I wanted to update you and... wait; you sleep at the Triskellion?" Peter responded apologetically.
"I run the biggest espionage and anti-terrorist force in the world Parker; this job is my entire life." Fury responded as he then hung up. Peter then saw Marinette waving to him at a table where other classmates were and he decided to go join them. Ganke was there and Peter sat next them.
Then came a blonde haired girl and a girl with glasses that Peter saw in the classroom and Alya whispered to them that it was Chloe Bourgeois (the daughter of Paris' mayor and who owned the hotel he was staying at) and her friend Sabrina Raincomprix. "Oh look the two nerds from America being led to the school by Dupain-Cheng; they decided to join the group of losers." Chloe told them snidely with Alya and Marinette glaring at her.
"I am sorry but I didn't realise the school was holding auditions for a French remake of Mean Girls." Peter snarked as Chloe looked at her dumbstruck. She was demanding if he knew who she was and Peter just told her "I am guessing a spoilt rich girl who feels her status gives her a free pass to be rude and mean to people." Peter replied putting his head down to his food and waving at her dismissively.
Chloe had her mouth open and then walked off in a huff followed by Sabrina; Alya and Marinette were shocked that Peter openly stood up to Chloe no problem there. "It's official; you are now my 2nd best friends next to Marinette." Alya beamed at Peter who shrugged it off.
He had deal with snobs and bullies all his life. After lunch when they were going out the door a blonde boy that Peter recognised from class came up to Peter; "I'm Adrien and welcome to the school; you shouldn't be mean to Chloe. I have been her friend since childhood and she is much softer and more vulnerable than she looks." The boy told her and they then noticed Chloe was rudely going past several other students and giving mean insults to them.
"Well then either she is either an incredible actress or you are a horrible judge of character." Peter remarked as he just kept going off.
One more day and the Endgame is here. Also any comics you are readying right now? I read most of mine on Comixology and I wanted to tell you about these particular comics I am reading:
The latest issue of the Avengers comic that came out today; it's a tie in to War of the Realms (Marvel seems to have a law that they need to have at least 1 event every few months) and it's about the Squadron Supreme of America. In this run Coulson came back to life (from what I read he was killed by Deadpool on the lead up to Secret Empire) and is now not the superhero fanboy anymore. He has put together the Squadron Supreme of America (basically a team of Superheroes from an alternate dimension that are expies of the Justice League). It's still unknown how Coulson put them together or if they are the ones already existing in the marvel Universe (there is at least 1 Hyperion exiting from what I remember). In this issue they show a twist on the concept of a Superhero team working for the government of the US. I won't spoil anything but there is a twist near the end about Coulson.
Spider-Man: Life Story; a miniseries showing what if Spidey and the Marvel universe aged naturally from their first appearance. Each issue is set in a different decade. Shows twists from the normal Spidey timeline and I loved that it showed Jameson actually having to face consequences for having funded the creation of super villains to fight Spidey. It shows the effects of Superheroes existing during the Vietnam War and Captain America has an awesome subplot in the book.
