Abandoned Control
One.
Dear guardian of student attending the Almighty Surrey Shield Boarding College,
I am writing to inform you of our school's new and improved policies for the new academic year, following the failures that the previous headmaster had made; and with these new policies, eventually regaining our fantastic establishment's former glory. We feel as a school that we should not reflect on the negatives and should try and move on - bring hope to the generations of tomorrow and show their carers and guardians that their money is not being wasted by providing their offspring with the stellar education that our school offers.
There had been certain incidents last year which have led to the enforcement of these rules, which we have already revealed to the students, but feel that you should also be aware of:
- If a student wishes to write with a fountain/ink pen, they must first pass a mental stability test in the medical room.
- Students are not to lend out fountain/ink pens if they have passed said mental stability tests, there shall be consequences for those who do so.
- The test is also required if a student wishes to do any of the following subjects to a higher level; Food Technology, Resistant Materials, Electronics, Textiles and others with potentially dangerous threats in the classroom.
- Alcohol is not allowed on the school premises. Not under any circumstances. Neither are cigarettes, drugs (with the exception of medically required drugs) and weapons.
- Students must get permission from guardians before leaving school premises. Groups of more than seven students must be accompanied by a member of staff.
- Public displays of affection are to stay private and never travel anywhere where it could cause a scene.
- Students from abroad will require two months notice before returning home for school holidays.
All other policies remain the same, but shall be enforced firmer than ever.
We shall also be introducing a partnership programme for the students. Each year they shall be paired up with a colleague who shares the majority of their lessons and to save hassle, they will work on projects together for an entire year. We believe by doing this, it will reduce bullying and mix up the social groups that occur in secondary schools.
We as an entire staff apologize on behalf of William Stryker and the trail of disappointment he has left in his legacy, I do indeed hope that by introducing these new rules to our wonderful school, we can erase that legacy and change everything back to what it originally was. We also thank you for all your support during this difficult time and hope that you continue to trust us to care for your children.
Yours sincerely,
Nick Fury, newly appointed Headmaster of the Almighty Surrey Shield Boarding College.
Everyone in the school knew Loki Odinson Laufeyson had issues. Few of them could actually explain why he was the way he was, just like they couldn’t explain that green tinge that Bruce Banner got when he was mad. Or like how they couldn’t explain why Sean Cassidy insisted that licking toads was a good idea.
All they knew about Loki Laufeyson was that he was adopted, liked listening to the Smiths and 30 Seconds To Mars, was sent away with Erik Lehnsherr for a long period of time and that a year ago, after he returned from the mysterious time away, Phil Coulson (an ex agent for some elusive investigations unit who became a teacher alongside Fury), the deputy head and Loki’s maths teacher (at the time), had his hand impaled with a forest green fountain pen.
Tony Stark hadn’t been in that lesson, but he’d heard from Clint Barton that it was the best thing he’d ever seen, even though Coulson was his favourite teacher. Loki was in every single one of Tony’s classes (minus the Electronics and Resistant Materials classes, Tony himself barely passed the mental stability tests for them) and he’d come to realise, over the first month back from the holidays, the green eyed teenager fascinated him.
He couldn’t place why the fascination occurred because he hadn’t even noticed Loki until he returned from wherever he’d been with that Erik kid, who Charles Xavier was completely head over heels for. It could have begun when he shot to school fame after head boy (and two years above, therefore important), Thor Odinson let slip to his languages teacher, Sebastian Shaw, that the reason his ‘brother’ had disappeared with Shaw’s prodigy was due to the fact that Loki had been adopted and was born to a supermodel who had gotten pregnant with a Norwegian drug lord.
That, of course, was not the real reason for the time off. Why would Erik Lehnsherr be taking time off for that too? But Shaw was a notorious loud mouth who enhanced the story and worked out the exact supermodel during his Year 8 French class. He then showed the pictures to his Year 10 class (which Loki was supposed to be in) and the news spread like wild fire.
Soon, around half of the male student body were masturbating to a shirtless picture of Loki Laufeyson’s mother; pictures that had been sold for a small fee in a classroom after the school day.
Sebastian Shaw made twenty pounds from that business venture. He spent the money on bullets.
The day Loki returned, apparently Alex Summers had put a photo on Loki’s pillow. The day Loki returned, he stabbed Phil Coulson with his favourite fountain pen. He was made to write in HB pencils for the rest of the year and then the fountain pen policy was created. Tony noted that he’d been writing in dark green gel pens ever since.
The fascination only grew when Loki moved into Tony’s English class at the end of the year. They had been placed next to each other on the seating plan, but they didn’t get off to a particularly good start as the first thing Tony said to Loki was, “Just thought I’d let you know, some kids in Year 9 are calling you Snape.” He was glared at for the next two lessons, but he noticed Loki had cut his hair and started wearing a baggy green cardigan over his school uniform instead of the black trench coat that smelled of whiskey and cigarette smoke.
The third lesson and the start of the new year, they’d been informed of the partnership programme and how it was going into action as of their next lesson. The glaring had softened and Miss Emma Frost revealed they were to be studying Romeo and Juliet for the next term and a half – this also applied for her Drama class, where they would be acting it out, in front of an audience (their English class and ‘perhaps even a school production!’).
Tony’s eyes had swept around the classroom, trying to mentally note down everyone in his Drama class and only found five people, one of whom was him. Then Steve Rogers stuck up his hand, asking the question, “But how? We’re all guys here.”
A few people sighed and Frost just giggled, replying with, “Oh sugar, just open your mind a little.” She then asked the people in her Drama class to stand up and take a little trip to the front. Tony found himself in between Charles and some fat kid, noticing that the best actor in the class was sitting down and pushing at his cuticles. Frost sighed loudly, stood behind Loki and pulled out his chair. “Right, Laufeyson, I hadn’t decided out of your pair who was going to be who, but guess what, dollface? You’re my Juliet Capulet.” He scowled and she pulled him up by the collar of his blazer whilst the class laughed hysterically. “I don’t see why you’re all laughing; you’ll all be getting parts, I’ve just judged on personality and which pair will fit which pair.” She typed into her laptop, double clicked and a PowerPoint Presentation appeared on the screen, proclaiming:
CAPULETS:
LOKI LAUFEYSON – JULIET CAPULET
ALEX SUMMERS – LORD CAPULET
HANK MCCOY – LADY CAPULET
ERIK LEHNSHERR – TYBALT
LOGAN HOWLETT – NURSE
Groans were audible across the classroom. Logan and Hank looked awkward and shared a sad look before Frost pressed the right button on her keyboard, which stated:
MONTAGUES:
TONY STARK – ROMEO MONTAGUE
CLINT BARTON – LORD MONTAGUE
BRUCE BANNER – LADY MONTAGUE
CHARLES XAVIER - MERCUTIO
REMY LEBEAU – BENVOLIO
“I shall also add that Steve, you’re Friar Lawrence; Bucky, you’re Count Paris and I’ll be the Prince, because I don't want to cast the rest of you, no offence.” She stood up, grinned at the class and put her hands on her hips, adopting her awful English accent, “I do hope that you do not judge me too harshly on the casting. I would get used to your counterpart as they are your partner in every other lesson, as well.” The bell rang and she curtsied, holding her hand out in gesture to the door, “Goodbye, my lovely class!”
Tony found himself listening to Charles prattle on about how he got to talk to Erik for the whole of the way to Biology (which Charles happened to teach). “I know that he’s meant to kill me in the play but Tony, Erik’s going to have to touch me!” He whispered that, but made a squealing noise, only composing himself when he noticed Loki’s presence behind them, “Tony – you have to kiss him.”
Tony turned to his blue eyed friend and frowned, “I know and shouldn’t you walk faster? You have a class to teach.”
Charles pulled a face and began to walk faster, “Hurry up or I’ll mark you as absent.” He then looked at his watch and started to run.
Tony laughed and slowed down as he approached the stairs. Charles becoming their class’s Biology teacher was a rather strange story. He’d gotten his GCSE in Biology at age 9, A-Level at age 11 and had just gotten a degree in something to do with Genetics. Their original teacher was, what Tony heard Loki mutter once, a bumbling fool. An alcoholic fool who got himself fired when Armando Muñoz almost drowned himself during an experiment.
Wade Wilson put Blu-Tack down his snorkel.
They’d interviewed a few teachers, but their class wasn’t getting one until the new half term, so instead of giving the class a cover teacher, they took advantage of the only Year 11 not doing a Biology GCSE (because he had a degree in the subject) and instead of him having free periods to further his degree, he’d teach the class he did Physics and Chemistry with.
Charles was a pretty good teacher for a sixteen year old. Tony claimed to have learned more from Charles than that fat guy for a whole year, but in return for that new knowledge, Tony had to fix Charles’ new, school provided (teachers only, therefore shitty) laptop keyboard because he’d spilled scotch on it. Whilst Tony fixed Charles’ laptop, Charles explained that they’d have to do a required assignment in their new pairs, which he’d reveal if he hadn’t “fucked up the keyboard completely”.
Tony knew that meant he’d be with Loki. The only person he ever wanted to go with in his science classes was Bruce Banner, who had been excluded for three weeks, due to his smashing of an entire chemistry lab in a fit of rage. They got each other, they just clicked. But Tony would make it work between him and Loki.
Even if he believed the only reason that the partnership programme was enforced because it would cause sexual tensions to die down and homophobia to lessen.
Tony was fine with having sex with Loki. Just as long as he wasn’t a Nickelback fan.
