James was now looking around the groups to make sure everyone was alright... People were discussing what their course of action is. Alex and Nao were discussing what to do. Knowing the guy, Alex was going to take lead on this. James also tried to make sure Will was alright where he was. He knew Mark wasn't the most sociable, and he hasn't been here the longest, but he was sure that the two would make it out alright. His thoughts were brought back to Anna as she started to talk. Ever since the two had met she had coined the term "Boy Scout" for him, and it stuck around campus... Although James couldn't complain he spent a lot of his childhood in the Boy Scouts... He mentally sighed to himself, thinking how cliche his parents were for signing him up for that.

"I'm a little low on my cat saving quota this month so here's hoping. And remember, there's no award ceremony or a loving crowd waiting to get autographs from you after. James teased back, and then starting to stretch out his legs and arms. "This is strange. I know we've done a ton of obstacle courses like this before, but never on the first day. And never as random as these pairs..." The brown haired boy started, looking over at Anna. "We gotta stay on our toes. Especially for us. No doubt that Stark's database has us high up on their list considering who our grandparents are... I got your back. James meant that last part wholeheartedly.

These courses were to push their limits. He had done these hundreds of times in his six years but for some reason he felt like he was a first year again, afraid of what was behind those doors.

I could definitely see clubs forming at the school for almost anything haha

A Mach-speed track and field team, Cliff jumping archery, villain appreciation clubs, and snorkeling! XD

Before you create clubs to join in on, just shoot it by me fist, I'll most likely say yes though haha

The responses to his question only made Professor Lang laugh and sigh. "Getting lectured on how to teach by a bunch of kids, never thought I'd see the day. Most of you have been training for teamwork for a while now. But you know what? You want me to teach you teamwork? Fine. We're going to split up into groups-- Hold on." Scott stopped and looked at Will, turning his head a bit. "You're the kid who almost got hit by the rocket, right? A new student... Sorry for keeping you here, please don't pee all over the floor, this is an important building..." Professor Lang's face softened a bit. He always had a soft spot for younger kids. In all honesty Lang only came off as harsh because he was training the next people to take up the Avengers. Most of the students here were cocky and thought they could do anything, so he had to give them a reality check. But when it came to new students he was nothing but helpful.

"Friday, what's this child's schedule? we need to get him to class before he's late." A female voice echoed through the room in response. "It seems to be that this... is his first class today, Scott. He's Will Fleeter, right?

Scott eyed him for a couple moments before slowly nodding. "Must have been a slip up in the database. Never had a first day student join the program...

"There's nothing we can do at the moment. Might as well pair him with someone and see what he can do. the female voice responded kinda worriedly. James looked over at the young kid, worried himself. These courses were for people who have gotten a hold of their abilities or know whats in store for them... James prayed that Lang knew what he was doing.

"Alright, so we are going to spend the morning going through some teamwork exercises. You're going to partner up and complete an obstacle course. For anyone who's been here before you know these courses are meant to push you and your abilities to the max of your potential. If your partner fails, so do you. No excuses. You will have to work together or we will find of another group project for you to do, understand?

Now, time for the teams! Annabelle, I've seen the stink eyes you've given James, and vise versa. The grandchildren of two leaders should be able to work out their differences and pass these courses... I guess the two Web-Heads can pair up, and use genetics and technology to reach an end goal. Vix, Charlotte, pair up, and this time make sure your whole suit is here. Alex, Nao, I'm curious to see how this plays out... and Mister Westbrook, you're going to team up with Will... I hope you like these pairs, because they're final!

James nodded and glanced over at Anna. Lang knew that the two weren't too fond of each other when it came to their thinking. James hoped that they could push that aside to get through the course. it wasn't going to be easy. He then glanced over at Alex. He was teamed up with Nao, and although he was sure the two could handle it, James didn't know if things would get out of hand with that combination... And then there was Will. He knew Mark wouldn't let anything happen to him, he was a good person, but he had no idea what Will could do. He didn't look confident, and that was dangerous.

"Alright, we're going to use the arenas outside for these trials. It'll give you all room to work with. Time to move out!

The obstacle course Arenas were all next to each other, all looking like massive sporting arenas. There was a glass dome above them, and although there was grass in the field to start off, the terrain and lighting changed as soon as the simulation started. You could be on the rooftop of New York, or the jungles of Wakanda, or even old military bases for infiltration. There were even classic style obstacle courses that had no setting, just different shapes and blocks and enemies to move around. It looked like everyone was going at the same time. James was next to Anna, awkwardly thinking about what to say. They didn't hate each other, but there were those moments where they got on each other's nerves, and that seemed to be a lot.

@King Kindred Nah I wouldnt say that, it just the gm put us in a spot where we have to wait for the next post.
Maybe a co-gm would be useful in this type of situations?

@TalijaKey

I'm sorry, but I've been doing a lot of traveling in such little time I needed to sleep or I would go insane haha. I'm working on a post now, and since no one has argued against the teams we are keeping them.

The Next Avengers

oh shoot i totally didn't realize that both of the spider-man characters are together!

We might have to change that haha

The Next Avengers

@pyroman

The job is all yours XD

The Next Avengers

@Oliver Okay, I'll totally put that into my next post! Anything you want me to add specifically? Or you can take control of Lang in your next post and add what you want haha

The Next Avengers

((Double posting again because I'm the best GM ever!))

So I got the randomizer, and it gave me these teams:

Team 1
-Annabelle
-James

Team 2
-Richie
-Ben

Team 3
-Charlotte
-Vix

Team 4
-Alex
-Nao

Team 5
-Mark
-Will

Anyone object to these??

The Next Avengers

I like that idea, @alexfangtalon

I'll get working on that, but seriously if you want to team up with anyone specific let me know, there could be some good combos out there to make this super fun to read!

The Next Avengers

@TalijaKey

I'm not sure... I was probably gonna have Lang "randomly" choose two characters that don't get along with each other to show the importance of teamwork or something haha

But if there are people you want to team up with we can make groups in the OOC
