Pietro smirked at John. The concern was warranted as more often than not, he put himself in way too much danger but he had died once and Pietro didn’t exactly want to relive that. “So you are going to come with me, then? Not much of a burden on me.” 

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“i’m only coming with you so you don’t get yourself killed. nothing else. but nice to know i’m not being a burden, mate. surely wouldn’t want to do that.” he remarked with a tad of sarcasm, shaking his head. “now do me a  f a v o r  and give me your hand.”

“Oh, shit…”    Damning someone to hell was pretty bad, Clark had to agree on that with John. “I’m sure it won’t happen again, you shouldn’t let past mistakes keep you from doing things now. The first time I tried to fly I crashed trough the roof of our shed. I know that damning someone to hell and destroying a building are in no way on the same scale, but I do know that being afraid of what you can do isn’t going to do you any good, especially in a fight.”

there was maybe a bitter chuckle, and he cracked half of a smile. “you’re surely super, alright. have you ever considered a career in motivational speaking?” the magician asked, before shaking his head. “it doesn’t exactly stop me from doing anything, mate. it just... bothers me. gives me that good ol’ anxiety that makes me worry the same thing’s gonna happen again. i’m gonna make another  m i s t a k e. but, i guess i should say thank you, eh? now watch your back, it’s been a bit too quiet. i guarantee we’re going to run into some wanker looking for a fight in any minute.”

john to clark: you have to stay away from me i’m dangerous please be kind to yourself and stay away

john to pietro: i am not leaving you alone jfc you’re not gonna get yourself killed

“I would not say that I am trying to be a hero exactly, but there is no way in hell that I am staying in here.” Pietro smiled at John. “And I am twenty, not a teenager, so you do not have to worry about me.” 

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“going out on your own? trying to stop a major threat? sounds pretty heroic to me.” he looked at the group of teenagers with a sigh. “do not split up, got it?” then, a turn to pietro. “you. running man. you’re with me. come on.” as the others ran off, he motioned his hand, clearly bitter. but, that was his normal behavior. “you have that kind of attitude that says ‘here i am! please come at me in hordes!’ do you think i’m not going to worry about you, much less leave you alone?”

[kryptcnkid-deactivated20170306]

“I will try my very best not to mess things up, if that’s what you’re implying.” Clark said as he followed his teacher down the hall. “I’m sensing that you do not want to talk about it at the moment, but know that not a lot can change my view on a person. Besides, not a lot scares me.”

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“you’re quite the persistent one, aren’t you?” he asked, stopping for a minute and looking the kryptonian in the eyes. “it’s not you i’m worried about messing up. it’s me, alright? me. last time i was put in direct charge of a child’s safety - and yes, although you are nineteen, you’re still young - i ended up  d a m n i n g  her to hell. because i made a mistake. now do you see why i’m being so skittish around you, mate?”

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“the barrier should keep the most of us safe.” he remarked, hands working a magical... shield of sorts to hold back for at least some time, before turning around and facing the students. “you’re supposed to stay in here, but i know anything about teenagers, they always have to rebel in some way. who’s planning to stay, and who’s planning to be a  h e r o?”

[kryptcnkid-deactivated20170306]

Clark let out a small laugh in response to John’s wordplay. “I have yet to succeed in getting myself killed. Sitting in the main hall doing nothing seems a lot like watching while teachers get to do all the fun stuff." He looked at him in confusion. Why wouldn’t he want to stick with John. "What do you mean? You seem like a great person to stick around actually.” Had Clark said something wrong? “Is there something you aren’t telling me sir?’

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

he took a deep breath, feeling the need to shake his head as well. “fighting isn’t fun. especially... especially when you accidentally mess things up.” like astra. and, it honestly scared him hearing clark say that he was a ‘great person to stick around.’ he was the exact opposite. “and trust me, mate, i am nowhere near a great person. there is a  r e a s o n  i cast myself out from other people. i’m not telling you anything that’ll end up scaring you. there is a lot about me that you don’t need to know. but, if you’re so... intent on staying, let’s keep moving.” he was getting antsy. starting to move, he scouted around for any immediate threat. hopefully, the conversation would soon be dropped. but, if he managed to keep clark alive, maybe that would be a story for another day... unless, the teenager pushed.

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

it’s like john can’t even breathe without getting thoughts of astra jfc for those who don’t read hellblazer or watch constantine john basically damned a little girl named astra to hell after she summoned a demon and it fucked him up Bad

[kryptcnkid-deactivated20170306]

Clark tensed as he heard a familiar voice behind him. well, shit . He turned around slowly. “I am out here to fight, I’m not going to sit around and do nothing while these… people are tearing up our school!” Clark knew that Mr.Constantine was right, he just chose to ignore that and accept the risks that came with fighting. “So far I have not heard any of them mention having any kryptonite on them, I think I’m good. And besides, I’m with you now.” Surely that counted for something. “You know I couldn’t stay out of this, I’m Superman.” he grinned as he continued to walk down the hallway.

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“well right now you’re super trying to get yourself killed. you think we’re keeping you all in there to just to watch?” he let out another loud sigh, head tilting back. “mate, i wouldn’t risk i-” wait, what? ‘i’m with you now?’ that was never good. there was a reason john kept his distance from most of the students. he didn’t trust himself up close with children - well, clark wasn’t a child, but still - after astra. he still had nightmares of her being ripped from his arms and dragged down to hell... one misstep, and john would end up losing someone else just like her. he shook his head, holding out a hand. “if you want to stick around a teacher, pick someone else. you don’t want to be around me.”

[kryptcnkid-deactivated20170306]

This could not be happening again, and yet it was… Clark wasn’t going to sit around this time, that he knew for sure. He wasn’t going to be useless again. If a group of people was attacking his school he was going to make a stand, he was a freaking kryptonian, not a lot could stop him. These people for sure weren’t going to stop him. (Maybe getting caught by an unreasonable teacher would pose some problems, but that was about it as of right now.)

He needed to be smart about this, the fact that he’d gotten away from the main hall was a big accomplishment, though he was pretty sure he hadn’t been the only one to successfully slip away. He just had to find out who else was out here, preferably people who weren’t going to attack him. Clark decided to try to find any noises that would not regularly occur in this area, such as explosions or obvious signs of assholes attacking the academy. 

“Let’s do this.” He whispered to himself as he began to head towards some suspicious noises he detected. Gotta love super-hearing. Clark had been so focused on the noises coming from a couple of hallways away from him that he had not noticed somebody approaching him.

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“and what are you doing out here, mate?” john’s eyes were narrowed. admittedly, he wasn’t as pissed off as some other teachers would be upon finding a student outside of the main hall, but still, most of these were just kids. throwing themselves into danger wasn’t a very smart idea. “i know stepping up and being the hero is quite a tempting idea, but, unfortunately, you can get yourself killed. who’s to say that our attackers don’t have kryptonite on them?” he only knew vaguely about the space crystal, but these attackers... they should have planned this. they may have known what students were inside, and where they came from. he sounded bitter, yes, but he didn’t want to risk a nineteen year-old getting hurt. maybe he was more sensitive towards children, even though clark was just a year about the minor cut-off. it was probably because of astra. oh, god, astra... now wasn’t the time to think about her. he crossed his arms, giving the kryptonian a disappointing look. “you just couldn’t stay out of it, couldn’t you?”

[kryptcnkid-deactivated20170306]

Clark had read the first sentence of the article when he heard Mr.Constantine’s question. He grinned and raised his hand. “I’ve got heat vision, though I’m not sure if I could use it with the amount of precision you require just yet. Besides, I’m pretty sure you can’t smoke in here sir.”

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“...there’s a window.” he motioned to his left, and sure enough, it was a closed window, left undamaged. john made sure to put a safety spell on his classroom in case any... issues were in place. “storm’s gone; nobody’s stopping me from opening it. then i can get my ciggy.”

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“it’s over and done with. not coming back.” he remarked, flipping through a magazine with his feet put up on his own desk. all he handed out was an article on weather magic and a few questions to answer at the end. “anybody got a light?”

[hogwartsrcject-blog]

“oh, i am not a fan of tight spaces.” the british man sighed, eyeing the door only a few feet away as he sat, nearly in a circle, with a few students and a teacher he only slightly recognized. couldn’t even smoke a cigarette; it was too small of a space, there were no windows, and too many people. “i don’t know how a fucking closet is supposed to be a safe room during a storm. don’t we have a basement? can’t we just evacuate downstairs? i can’t be the only one thinking this. there’s nothing even to do in here.” now, he knew the truth. he knew about the attack. but in all honesty, he couldn’t help but think out loud. children would be the safest in the basement of a school. however, this had to be a huge threat for them to be crammed in a closet... “i’m already getting antsy; we’ll have to find some way to pass the time. and now, rogers and i aren’t observing while three students play spin the bottle. i don’t need that nonsense.”
