“and today, to finish off we’re going to learn more about your inner -” but before johnny could finish off he was cut off by someone hurling some sort of power/energy/flame thing. “hey! can we please watch we’re aiming?!” he was lucky he ducked just in time. a second later or two centimetres to the right and he would be sitting in an infirmary office. “now where were we?” he sighed and then looked at the clock. “you know what? all of you can just get out. we’ll pick up on friday. or next week. just depends how you all behave.” he continued to look down at his files and didn’t even see the person approaching him. “if you have questions about the class, drop me an email. anything else and you can call the fantastic four’s PR rep or something.”

“damn, redirecting me to your pr rep? i’m hurt, johnny.” peter says jokingly as he looks over at his friend, giving him a wide smile. “i’m sorry about what just happened, j. you want me to beat the kid up? ‘cause i’ll do it.” he paused. “okay, not actually beat them up, but... i can prank them with science. something that won’t hurt them and just... blow up in their face.” he’s still mostly joking, but that student was being kind of an asshole, and to one of his best friends nonetheless. “you okay? wanna grab lunch?”

she carried two cups off coffee with a plate of chocolate chip cookies somehow balanced between her teeth. she opened the door to her sisters room, and she only managed to spill barely any coffee. pushing the door open with her back and she tried to smile, but the plate of cookies in her mouth from moving. finally, she set the cookies down before handing her twin the other cup of coffee. “i need your advice,” she began, falling down on the bed beside mia. “do you think I should actually do something else besides espionage? you know, maybe i should be smart like you and take smarter classes. what if i’m not meant to be like dad?” it was a normal thought that went through her head, and it wasn’t the first time she’d told her sister about it. “i’m probably just being a bit dramatic,” she laughed, sipping the coffee. “do you know if they offer classes on how to be less dramatic?”

mia is seated on her bed with her cat sleeping beside her as she messes around on her drawing tablet when her head snaps up to the door as it opens. seeing her twin walk in balancing the cups and the plate, mia almost springs to her feet to help her before she realizes that her help isn’t really needed. “you know, you could’ve asked for help with those.” she says, smiling over at her sister as she takes the cup of coffee and sips at it gingerly. “i think espionage would be a good fit for you,” she replies, her brows furrowing together as she thinks for a moment. “i-i’m not that smart, not when it comes to science and stuff. i’m okay at math. but-- this is about you, not me... i would think about it as not what other people want of you, but what you want. i mean, what do you want to do? is it cheesy to say follow your heart? and it’s not dramatic, at least i don’t think it is. and if it is, then i guess we both need classes on how to be less dramatic. whatever you choose, you know i’ve got your back, just like you’ve always got mine. and, i’m sure gabi feels the same way.”

Gabi made her way across campus, looking for her youngest sister.  The idea of all of her siblings being here made her feel better.  Yes, she’d prefer they not go the hero route, but at least with them all in this world, she could keep an eye on them.  Finally spotting Mia, she waved.  “Hey, little sister,” she called out.  “Interested in lunch?”

mia’s gaze is focused on the sketchbook in front of her as she lazily drew the scenery around her, specifically the flowers. out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone waving and glanced up, and upon noticing it was gabi, she smiled. “oh, sure. what are you thinking?” she replies, beginning to pack up her supplies and moving to stand up. “i hope they have something good in the cafe. i’m craving donuts, but i guess that isn’t really lunch.”

“no,“ natasha stated simply, giving a glance over towards one of the younger teachers at the academy. “because we will teach them thoroughly enough. your doubt over this is your doubt in yourself.” she turned to look at him and gave a small smile, “gain confidence parker, it’ll help you - and if you cannot, well i can send… steve over to give you a pep talk?” she teased, “i heard that was what they did to you kids when you were in high school.”

We’re thrilled to have WANDA MAXIMOFF, also known as THE SCARLET WITCH, join us as FACULTY of the Academy, to teach POWER CONTROL/MASTERY, MAGIC/CHAOS MAGIC + ART! They look at lot like ELIZABETH OLSEN and are 27 YEARS OLD, going by SHE/HER PRONOUNS. They’re said to be INTROVERTED and are able to USE CHAOS MAGIC. Please join us in welcoming them aboard! 

basics:

name: wanda maximoff. alias: the scarlet witch. age: 27; birthday + sign tba -- this is something i’d prefer to plot out w/ a pietro mun ! face claim: elizabeth olsen. pronouns: she/her. do they teach at the school, and what do they teach?: wanda teaches art, power control/mastery and magic/chaos magic.

background:

biography: wanda maximoff is the daughter of madga eisenhardt and erik lehnsherr and the twin sister of pietro maximoff. she had an older sister whom passed before she was born – nadia/anya ( i never know which name to go w/ bc it differs in the comics and the movie )  – and a younger half sister, lorna dane. before she knew she was pregnant, magda found out about erik’s abilities shortly after they had lost their daughter. afraid, she fled from him and took refuge in sokovia. here, she met and fell in love with django maximoff. he adopted the twins as his own once they were born, knowing they were not his, and loving them nonetheless.  when they were 10 years old, a mortar shell hit their apartment building, killing magda and django instantly and trapping the twins for two days. they were left there, having to look at their dead parents and the unexploded shell that read ‘stark industries’ until they were rescued.

all of the mcu movies up until civil war along with our alterations are all canon to her, of course! though, obviously, i do also take some comic influence when it comes to writing wanda and shaping her background. though, one other alteration i will be making is that while the twins were experimented on and the experimentations did not give them their powers, only activated their mutations. 

powers and abilities: chaos magic (psionics, psionic energy manipulation, telekinesis, disintegration, flight, force-field generation, mental manipulation, emotional manipulation, hex bolts, telepathy);  multilingual, expert combatant, spy.

headcanons:

wanda has taken up knitting. she’s very good at it and enjoys it a lot so she can often be found doing that. she’ll use a mix of either doing it the manual/normal way and using her magic, it depends on how she’s feeling

wanda has a cat named gemini

wanda was raised jewish and still practices to this day

We’re thrilled to have MARINA 'MIA' ROMANOFF-BARNES join us as a STUDENT of the Academy! They look at lot like HUNTER SCHAFER and are 21 YEAR OLD, going by SHE/HER. We hear they’re a BIOLOGICAL child of STEVE ROGERS + ADOPTED child of BUCKY BARNES + NATASHA ROMANOFF, and also answer to RED WIDOW. They’re said to be ELOQUENT and are able to ARTIFICIALLY ENHANCED PHYSIOLOGY. Please join us in welcoming them aboard!

basics:

name: marina ‘mia’ sarah romanoff-barnes. alias: red widow. age: 21; june 26th; cancer. face claim: hunter schafer. pronouns: she/her. who are their parents: steve rogers; bucky barnes + natasha romanoff. are they biological or adopted: biologically steve’s, adopted and raised from a young age by natasha and bucky. are they enrolled in the academy and what are they specializing in?: mia is enrolled in the academy – she is specializing in art.

background:

biography: when steve settled down with a woman he met and fell in love with named amelia,  the pair had four children -- two older children and one set of twins, with mia being the youngest of the pair and of them all. post-endgame, steve went back in time to return the stones but never returned and was presumed dead. not long after this, amelia passed in a car accident. mia was five years old at the time. left orphaned from the loss of their parents, the four kids were adopted by bucky barnes and natasha romanoff.

she doesn’t remember much about her parents, because she was so young, but she still loves them nonetheless and grew up with stories of them. aside from the loss of her mother and father, she had a good childhood and overall good life. she was taught various forms of self defense just to be on the side of caution, but otherwise, things were pretty normal. before his death, steve did a good job of keeping his children out of the spotlight, and natasha and bucky made sure to honor that by carrying that on as the kids grew up. she was also taught ballet by natasha at a young age.

after graduating high school, mia got into a school for the arts. she mainly focused on her own paintings, but she was apart of some dance classes on the side as well. knowing her father’s passion for drawing, her own artwork makes her feel connected to him still, somehow.

personality: mia is a very sweet and soft spoken girl. she keeps to herself for the most part, but is still quite friendly if you reach out to her. she doesn’t like conflict, barely even likes the fighting aspect of becoming a hero, but she also knows she has to. 

powers and abilities: artificially enhanced physiology, like steve. a regenerative healing factor. natasha and bucky also taught her various forms of self defense and combat, just in case, but she never dabbled much in weaponry like they did. what have they brought with them to this universe/timeline: sketchbooks and copic markers, far too many bags of makeup and makeup utensils, an ipad she uses for digital drawing and a stylus, her cat named molly and her ballet slippers.

“– well, at least the food choices haven’t changed much.” eira spoke to herself as moved to sit at a table in the lounge. despite having already completed college in her time, she was already back in her dorm room-like eating habits. she pulled two poptarts out the foil packaging and a container of ice cream, piling a scoop of ice cream between them like a sandwich. getting a little lost in her actions as she hummed a song to herself, she noticed someone nearby. “hey, did you need somewhere to sit? there’s a free chair and i don’t mind sharing.” @academiastarters​

“thank you, for the offer, but i am fine standing,” loki replies in response, giving the younger girl a small smile. green eyes fix more closely on what exactly she’s doing, and he speaks up again.“is this something people on midgard eat often? ice cream and... pop tarts?” he questions, a look of half disgust and half confusion coming across his features. he didn’t understand it -- and that was... probably an understatement. “what is your name?”

[januaryglccm]

“is that a good star? how’d you get one and i didn’t?”   -- prompt from @lineageoflies​ !

“‘cause i’m just, simply... better than you.” xander quips in response, a goofy grin spreading across his features as he looks over at his older sister. “honestly, i’m sorry to break it to you, sis, but maybe i’ve been the genius in the family all along.” he’s joking, of course. “i mean, my captain america waffle iron grilled cheese? iconic. a true galaxy brain moment. i deserve this star.”

[januaryglccm]

“i love those kids like they were my own.”   -- prompt from @ofnewheroes​ !

“some of them are.” he replies. “your own, i mean. man, that’s so weird to think about, right?” peter laughs softly, running his hand through his hair. “i still can’t really wrap my head fully around the very concept, y’know? i will, of course, but... still getting used to it all, i guess.” his gaze drops to the floor for a moment as his brows knit together. he can’t help but think about the idea of any children of his being unable to meet aunt may. “what about you?” he asks after a moment, snapping back out of his thoughts to glance back up at tony.

“Apologies for the delay, Miss Grey. My CEO has an allowance for incompetence exactly once in a quarter and he has a splendid timing.” Emma explains with the last remnants of frustration coloring her tone slightly darker after her extended phonecall with the mentioned man while she takes her seat across from the redhead. She didn’t want to be late for lunch, first impressions are important and she actually looked forward to discussing power mastery with a fellow telepath, but the corporate mess just needed to be sorted out first.

“oh, please. you can call me jean.” she replies, giving emma a smile as she gestures towards the seat across from her for emma to take a seat. “and it’s alright -- i understand. it happens.” jean gives her a nod. “it’s good to see you -- i trust you’re doing well, company issue aside?” a brow is raised, curiously. “and, of course, i look forward to teaching with you at the academy. i’m eager to get back into a school, truth be told. i’ve always loved teaching.”

given jean’s mutation - her abilities were quite different than that of the mystic arts. still, stephen had taken special care and practice to allow himself the ability to sense a mutant ability. when he felt the familiar signature of jean grey, he waited patiently, giving her a nod and a smile when she entered the room. “not technically, i taught when i was a practicing medical doctor, but this is certainly quite different.” he responded, giving a small shrug. “thank you, i knew you of everyone would understand the importance of it’s not what the classroom looks like, but what is taught within it.” he gave her latter question some thought before glancing away. “i’m better than i was, still concerned about the matters of the multiverse - and you?”

“oh, certainly. both have their respective challenges, though, of course. still -- a new experience, nonetheless. if you ever need help or pointers, you’re more than welcome to reach out to me. charles was a wonderful teacher to me, and thus, i’ve learned most, if not all, that i know of teaching from him.” jean explains, giving stephen a smile. “those matters tend to plague you quite often these days, don’t they?” she asks, raising a brow. “it is a huge weight on your shoulders. but you handle it well, i can tell that much. has anyone ever thanked you for the work that you do?” she glances back over at him, tearing her gaze from the room. “i’m doing well, thank you. happy to be back in a school.”

“jesus… i didn’t think they’ve still marketed those,” he chuckles a bit, pointing at the clock in peter’s classroom with the elements in place of the actual numbers to show the time. “tony and i had one of those in our dorm room at MIT. that’s how old that thing is.”

peter laughs softly as he looks from the clock and then back at rhodey. “i kinda figured there’d be a few reactions to it. people are either gonna hate it, be confused by it or think it’s funny or cool. i, obviously, fall in the last one or i wouldn’t have put it up. pretty cool you guys had this sort of thing way back when, though.”

eric looked about his classroom, a frown appearing on his lips. he’d specifically had uv lights installed in his room, to keep frost and any of his cronies out. and he’d heard that a child of dracula existed among the peers of the school. to train a vampire, one that was not entirely unlike himself, would be challenging - but one he’d accepted. strange had a funny way of helping the future and though eric did not fully agree; he was there.

turning towards the sound of the door opening, he flashed a smile, his fangs appearing just as quickly as they disappeared. “i’m blade, you’ll call me that or you don’t get to take the class. want to learn? then listen. want to goof off? then get the fuck out. got it?”

“so, just blade or mr. blade?” is xander’s smart-ass response as he looks over at the older man, trying to bite back the smirk that so desperately wants to form across his features. did he want to goof off? hell yeah he did. that’s almost all he did, if he were to be honest. and maybe this guy freaked him out a little bit at first glance, but at the same time, he couldn’t deny that he seemed pretty cool. a teacher who would curse at him? pretty cool as far as xander was concerned. with a goofy grin on his face, he salutes him. “aye aye, mr. blade.”

&& LOKI ;; @januaryglccm​:

she signs up for the class because, frankly, she is way too curious not to. when strange made his proposition to her, she instantly knew that one of the perks of coming here would be the possibility of meeting another version of her father and mother - chances were she would not, of course, but chances were she would, and that made sibyl excited beyond belief. she loves her parents and she basically idolizes her father. when she found out that this universe’s version of loki was actually at the academy… well, there was some initial fear that they might not live up to the loki she knew, thus disappointing her, but even then she had to give them the opportunity.

she contemplated concealing her identity, at least at the beginning. she wouldn’t be the daughter of the god of mischief if she hadn’t entertained the idea at least briefly. surely, it would have been interesting to see how much time it would’ve taken for them to figure her out. but more than that, sibyl just wanted to get to know this loki and so she chose to be upfront when finally approaching them.

“i hope i’m not intruding. do you have a moment?” she is nothing if not confident when she simply walks up to loki with the intention of introducing herself. after all, even if she’s technically not their daughter, she’s of their blood.

it had been a while since loki had returned to new york. at least, a while since he had returned as himself. and while he had yet to actually have to face any sort of judgement, complaint or consequence for his past, he was still weary of being back in new york. perhaps he couldn’t help it. despite all of it, he kept his cool, but was still always ever so aware of his surroundings and those around him. seated at his desk, a pen twirls between his fingers as he reads a book. seeing as it was still early and classes hadn’t started yet, he tended to have a lot of time to himself. as someone approaches, his hand movement ceases and he uses his magic to shut his book. “you are not, no. i do -- how can i help you?” he asks, raising a brow. there’s magic within her, he can tell that much. and, of course, there’s something else about her too that he can’t quite place. it’s curious, to say the least. he’s intrigued.

Steve sighed and took another sip of his coffee glancing down at the stretch he was working on. Sitting on the steps to the entrance of the school, it was crazy how he had gotten employed here but he didn’t mind. The solider blinked as he heard footsteps approaching him. Tilting his head to the side for a moment he glanced up at the person approaching him.

“do you typically use the front steps of the building for this sort of thing?” loki speaks up after approaching the other, arms clasped in front of himself as he peers down at him. “surely there are places specifically for this, not... the entrance. of the building.” he adds with a shrug of his shoulders. “long time, no see.” he says, after another pause, giving a little wave and a small smirk.

wanda was still very pessimistic about her current situation - - it wasn’t that she wasn’t a fan of the academy - - no. she thought it was probably one of the best things to happen, but, what clouded her mind with negativity was the recent situation… everything with lagos. she still struggled with getting out of the ‘weapon of mass destruction’ headspace and was activley doubting her role as a teacher. she let out a soft sigh when the door to her classroom creeped open, offering up what was best described as a soft smile. “hey…” she spoke quietly, nodding with her words, “you can come in, i’m not doing anything.” 

“oh -- my apologies. i did not realize someone was in here,” loki hums in response. it was a lie, of course -- they had known precisely who was in the room the moment they had stopped in front of the door, but that was for them to know, not her. “are you alright?” they question, curiously, as their head tilts to the side ever so slightly. “you seem... perplexed. or, perhaps lost in thought is the better term for it,” they weren’t exactly from earth -- some sayings still tended to get lost on them. in their over 1500 years of life, not a lot of it had been spent on earth. well, not until now, that is.
