The meeting place for the students being picked up was a rather inconspicuous looking location.  A few miles out of New York City, in a field of a worn down looking farm.  The students ranging from just hanging out and talking, to others that seemed a bit confused about the location and reason for being there.  

One such student, although he looked like he was quite fit, was also carrying enough luggage to equate what seemed like more than just two people.  A few duffle bags slung around an arm and across his back.  Wearing an athletic sleeveless shirt, and green cargo pants.  Theodore, or Teddy as most people knew him, was glancing around at where him and his boyfriend were instructed to be.  While there was a lot to be said about the secretive nature of where they were going.  A farm, one which looks abandoned much less.  Seemed like a weird place to have an academy for super powered teenagers.

"I don't know..."  Teddy finally muttered as he leaned against his rolling luggage.  "SHIELD never stuck me as the trolling type.  Are you sure this is where we're suppose to be?"  Teddy asked looking over.

"I'm about as sure as you are Ted." Billy replied, taking a furtive glance at the stragglers lingering about here and there. Billy wasn't sure who was who or even what they were. He knew he and Teddy were "super-powered" or whatever the correct term SHIELD was using. "Captain America didn't exactly leave a detailed map or anything." 

The entire affair seemed ... incredibly unremarkable, given their powers at least, then again, maybe the other teens are like him, maybe they were hiding it, after all, all their powers would be on show once they hit class right? 

"You sure you don't want a hand with those bags?" Billy asked, looking up at Teddy who effortlessly carried them all, his rather fine arms on show with his sleeveless shirt. Billy almost blushed [i]almost[/i]. Teddy really was the cutest boyfriend anyone could ask for. He still sometimes found himself wondering how on earth he'd found Teddy and why on earth Teddy picked him. Billy Kaplan. The skinny Asgardian-fanboy, uber-geek who couldn't even hide his power-level as he wore a shirt with a space ship and the quote "Please Take Me" on it. 

What was even better ... Teddy was not only gorgeous, but a massive geek as well. Sometimes Billy thought he'd dreamed him up, but he really was too good to imagine. 

"I was expecting some guys in suits or something ... I dunno." Billy shrugged, "[i]I sorta hopped Thor would show up too, how cool would that be?![/i]"

Teddy chuckled, grinning with pearly whites showing as Billy had a moment of geeking out at the idea of Thor showing up.  That boy and his loving of the Norse mythology turned strangely real.  "Last I heard Thor's probably got Avengers business to be babysitting us."  Teddy noted as he adjusted the bags on his shoulder.

"Captain America basically made a housecall to get us to join up y'know." Billy pointed out, although Teddy had a point... Thor was busy looking after Asgard and Midgard and every other bloody realm. Why would he wrangle a bunch of teenagers to class? 

"It's alright, I have the power to handle all this.  Not unless you'd like to figure out how to make yourself all big and strong to handle it all."  Teddy joked, licking his chops a little at the thought.  Still he glanced around at the other probably students.  At least it was a nice late summer day.

Suddenly though the sunshine started to be blotted out by a massive shadow overhead.  When Teddy started to look up his eyes widened at the massive ship overhead.  It touched down nearby, the back opening to reveal a small group of people dressed in admittedly nice suits.  Led by a man with balding hair and shades on.  "Alright, those of you that aren't freshmen you know the drill."  He started, seemingly undermining the big impressive entrance.  "Those of you who are new, have your papers ready, we'll shuttle your luggage and vehicles on board.  When you get on go ahead and take a seat in the designated area.  As soon as everyone's on board we'll be heading out to the academy.  It's out in the Atlantic Ocean just for today."  He told everyone.  

As Teddy hoisted the rest of the luggage up.  His arm turning green as it stretched out, wrapping around the rest of the luggage with no problems.  His other hand tapped Billy on his shoulder.  "You have the paperwork right?"  He asked, praying today wasn't the day Billy had a brain fart.  Leaving the paperwork at his parents' house or in the car his mom drove them there in.

Billy was lost in thought, looking in awe at the huge vessel that touched down so cavalierly. The tap on the shoulder snapped him back into the present. "Oh- Papers, right..." Billy rustled around his pockets, his shoulder bag- Oh no, today could [i]not[/i] be one of those days. 

"Dammit" he grumbled, his search proving fruitless. "[i]Nice one Kaplan. You had ONE job, one easy job.[/i]" 

Billy pouted and ducked his head down, knowing full well Teddy would notice that he [i]had[/i] mislaid their papers. Good thing he had powers, hopefully he wouldn't need to use his powers to stop Teddy teasing him afterwards.

[i]"IwishIhadourpapersIwishIhadourpapersIwishIhadourpapersIwish-"[/i] BAM! Billy exhaled in relief, flipping through the slips to make sure everything they needed was there. At least he hadn't screwed up entirely. He perked his head up and flapped the papers in Teddy's face. 

"Yep. Papers. Check." 

Billy looked over at the groups of students shuffling toward the man who'd stepped out of the ship. A lot seemed confused, much like Billy and Teddy, others lazily tagged along, seemed more at ease. One girl stood out though. Long blonde hair and a confident stride.
[b]"Out of the way. Move it losers."[/b] the mysterious girl swanned her way through, pushing a paper into the suited mans hand. She tapped her foot impatiently as he scanned the paper, not that he needed to, she was hardly forgettable. 

"Karla." 

"Coulson." she replied, disinterested, she just wanted to get this show on the road, she and Melissa had plenty to catch up on (or rather she had to find a way to one-up Melissa in their constant competitions...). 

Billy inched a little closer to Teddy, unconsciously, not really noticing. He had no idea who this girl was, but if there were other students like her... he hoped this wouldn't be like high school only with people who could blast him to pieces. 

"...Delightful..."  Was the only thing Teddy could say or even felt like saying about the girl who had just boarded.  She seemed like a real winner in life.  Either way Teddy just quietly rolled his eyes as the two got up to the agent. 

"So thankfully Billy you're only partially a goof."  Teddy teased Billy as Coulson was given the paperwork.  Coulson examining all of it before noticing their names.  

Billy nudged Teddy in response to the teasing, but kept quiet as Coulson looked over their documents. 

"Ah Steve mentioned the both of you..."  Coulson noted.  Pointing to both boys.  "The two of you are some of the first to be... in a relationship like this."  Coulson visibly tried to think of a mature way of putting it but just went with the simple route.  "He's been considering the rooming request the both of you had.  But wanted me to pass on he's accepting it so long as the both of you maintain good grades and it doesn't prove to be a distraction..."

Billy blushed at the mention... [i]'Captain America ... specifically mentioned me and Teddy...?'[/i] his brain spiraled, half fan girling, half-terrified they were in trouble since the requested to room together.

Teddy beamed at the news, his free hand going up for a high five from Billy.  "Awesome!"  He exclaimed.  Both at the personal consideration from the awesome one, to being able to stay with Billy.

Billy blinked, dumbstruck, before returning Teddy's high-five, though the news was so good he would rather have kissed him, but that would hardly reassure Coulson that this wouldn't be a "distraction". 

"Wicked!" Billy agreed, a shy grin unfurling across his face. 

Teddy unloaded all the luggage for the SHIELD agent who began putting them into the bay of the ship.  As Teddy teased Billy some more, seeing if Billy needed to conjure up something else before they leave.  As the two got into the seating area it felt like something out of a roller coaster.  The horizontal facing seats were encased in little bays, with a buckle which looked like those ones on roller coasters.  

Teddy began to strap himself in, patting the seat next to him.  "Man this is crazy, like we're in a SHIELD ship.  We're going to a school that's on a bigger ship.  Plus now that I'm thinking about it..."  Teddy noted, "Didn't the Fantasticar even show up at one point while we were all waiting for this thing to arrive?  Man this is all weird..."  Teddy noted as he got himself strapped in.

Billy eased into the seat beside Teddy. They'd fought some petty criminals together with their awesome powers, and that had been exhilarating ... but this was something else entirely. Billy was anxious, excited too, but still anxious. Worried about not being good enough, being [i]too[/i] good and accidentally hurting someone ... His hand slipped into Teddy's. Teddy always calmed him down when he was nervous or upset or angry. 

"Yeah ... I can't quite believe we're here either." he agreed. It was nothing short of surreal.
