The Academy

2. New Students

Wolverine snarled, swinging his claws around in a curve, tearing through the stomach of a gun wielding soldier. He spun around slicing through the neck of another. Batman stood behind Wolverine, throwing a Batarang in a full arc, watching it smash into a wall behind three oncoming soldiers. Batman pressed a button on the bottom of his gauntlet, causing the entire wall to explode and shower bricks down on the two soldiers. He rolled forward, swinging a fist into a soldier's face, breaking his nose. He quickly tripped another man and kneed another in the chest, before bringing his elbow crashing down onto the man's head. Wolverine sliced through two more soldiers in anger, chopping them into bits.

"Punkasses." Wolverine slid his claws in. Batman pulled his cape around his body, looking at the endless amount of bodies. Suddenly, his head jerked up and atleast three hundred soldiers rushed into the battlefield, machine guns blazing. Batman prepared to fight, but suddenly every soldier was vaporized, and in came Dr. Manhattan. Wolverine snarled.

"Who brought the ass?" Dr. Manhattan gave Logan a calm look.

"Watch it, Logan."

Wolverine approached Manhattan. "What are you gonna do about it..." Batman slid in between them.

"Charles, cut off the program."

Suddenly, every single body disappeared, and the backdrop transformed into a metallic wall. "DANGER ROOM SIMULATION ENDED." The three teachers stood in the middle of the huge room. Wolverine walked away from the two other agents, heading for the door and sliding his yellow hood off, revealing his spiked, jet black hair. "Whatever..." He whispered in a raspy voice. "I don't need this." The Danger Room door opened and closed behind him. Batman gave Manhattan a stern look.

"You know how he is, Jon. Give him some time to adjust." Dr. Manhattan nodded, and was gone in an instant. Batman stood in the room alone and sighed. "I hate keeping the peace between them, Xavier." A voice in his head responded.

"I know, Bruce. Logan will lighten up. Just give it time." Wayne nodded, and left the danger room. The Academy was a huge building. The outside looked like a mansion, but the inside was much bigger. There were atleast a dozen hallways on the bottom floor, each with it's own set of classrooms. On the second floor were dorms, and on the third rested around 16 offices, each with it's own bedroom. Wayne had one, but he rarely stayed at the Academy. He had his own manor to attend to. He also had his own missions. Wolverine and Manhattan lived here, along with Xavier. Batman would never admit it, but Manhattan scared him. He knew very well that Manhattan could destroy him if he decided to go rogue. Again.

As he arrived in the lobby, three students entered the front door, mouths hanging open in astonishment. Batman smirked.

" You kids looking for something?"

A teenage boy with dirty blonde hair, a milk white hoodie and faded blue jeans looked up at Batman. "Woah... Your... Batman!" Batman smiled and approached the boy, extending his hand.

"Yes, I am. You are?"

The boy blinked, and took Wayne's hand and shook it enthusiastically. "I'm Peter, sir. Peter Parker."

Wayne smiled. "And you other two?"

A hand gripped his tightly, and Batman looked up to see a brunette girl wearing a tight pants and a green sweater. "I'm Laurie Juspeczyk. Pleased to meet you." Wayne immediately noticed how beautiful the girl was. He looked at the third student. "And you might be?" The kid had his hands stuffed in his pockets. "I'm Eddie Brock." The teenage boy was wearing a torn, Metallica shirt and jeans with holes torn in the knees. Black hair shot up in spikes in the form of a mohawk. "Pleased to meet you three. So your all students here? Friends, I take it?" Peter shook his head.

"Oh no, I just met Laurie yesterday, and Eddie a few minutes ago." Bruce nodded.

"Well, let me show you kids to your rooms."

"Parker... Parker... Hm, here you are. Room number 16. You will be sharing a room with... hm... this student hasn't arrived yet." Peter opened the door to his room and rolled in his suitcase, gawking at the sheer size and quality of his room. It was perfect. The other three continued down the hall. "Laurie... Your room number is 21." Laurie nodded and carried her bag into her own room. Eddie and Batman continued down the hall. "Alright... Brock... Brock..." Batman looked up at the last door on the right. " Room number 27." Eddie pushed his way into his room and slammed the door in Wayne's face.

Batman was stunned at first, but then he shook his head and sighed.

"Kids."

No more chapters will be that short I promise. I would like reviews, telling me whether or not I should continue. I'd appreciate it. GREATLY.
