The Legacy of the Avengers

Chapter 2

"Good morning, student," a man was standing at a podium in the front of the auditorium like seats filled to the brim with students of all ages. "I am Nick Fury. Some of you will know me, some of you will not." He gazed to the group of newbies sitting off to the side.

"I am your headmaster. You have any questions regarding any rules, or have something important to tell me, contact me, and me only. You can find me in the smaller building next to the dormitories." Everyone nodded in response, to show he had their attention.

"Now, all of you should have your schedules by now. I expect the best out of all of you. Get to class."

All the students ran out of the room. But before the newbies could leave, the headmaster called up to them, "Except you eleven."

Thea looked to Brook, who looked to Nicole, who looked to Artemis, who looked to Castiel, who looked to Echo, who looked to Leanne, who looked to Castor, who looked to Tau, who looked to Alek, who looked back to Thea. They all shrugged in confusion before looking back to Professor Fury.

"Sit, until everyone has left the classroom." He instructed.

They all did so, until the very last person exited. He looked down at Thea, who was at the edge towards the isle. He nodded and left.

"Great," Fury clapped his hands together, "now, if all you would follow me." He turned and began to walk out of a side door. They all stood and followed.

They all went through the door one by one and ended up walking down a dark hallway filled with pictures of Avengers before them.

"What is this? A sort of hall of fame?" Thea ask, gazing at the picture of her father.

"It has to be," Brook nodded as she passed by her father as well.

Nicole landed in front of her father, "That's ma Dad," in a mocking country accent.

They all broke down into laughter. "Oh my god, Nicole," Brooklyn laughed.

"Yes," Nick's voice was heard down the hall. He came into view to the kids who were all in front of their parents. "These were some of our best Avengers. Some even fought till their last days."

"How were our parents some of the best?" Thea asked.

"Because of the things they put up with to protect the world," he nodded. "Some put up with kidnapping, others torture. Some went through mental pain for the sake of others."

"So...why'd you bring us through here?" Alek asked.

"Because I am taking you somewhere, but you all stopped to see your parents."

He turned and began walking, "Come, children. We have much to do before your classes begin."

They all groaned and followed. They finally made it to a room. Mostly made of concrete and metal. There were windows, but they were at the top and about 3 feet by 2 feet. The room was lit only by the sun and a few lights on the ceiling which was about 20 feet high.

"Sit on the benches, children," Nick was out in the middle of the floor while the teens sat on the benches.

"Everyone, meet your professors. Depending on what skill you have, you will get a different person." As he spoke, four people came out. None of the kids knew them. Except Tau, he knew one.

"Meet, Dr. Strange," a man in a red cape stepped out and nodded, "Spider-Man," a young man gave a friendly wave, "Okoye," she came up and did nothing but look the students over, "and...Ant-Man," a man came out and did finger guns.

"Today before classes begin, we will be testing your abilities and skills. That will determine who you will go with. First up, Nicole Banner."

The girl got up and walked in front of them. She nodded, and kept quiet.
