SHIELD Academy
Open House
Everyone is congregated in the spacious auditorium of the SHIELD Academy. The noise level is probably a decibel below deafening and the lights are probably a little dimmer than what might seem normal for this time in the evening, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone as they just carry on. There are banners strewn about welcoming all first years to a new chapter in their lives while others welcome the others back for another year at the Academy. Refreshments are served up on stage while other tables set up around the massive room are home to pamphlets and flyers for clubs and classes. Special electives and advertisements for training sessions are also littered amongst the tables.

Make a few friends, find old ones, look into clubs that catch your interest. This is open house for all returning students and prospective students, so hang out, hit up others and just mingle!

"Nah, that whole thing was a mess anyway," she laughed, grinning up at him, because she didn't really hold a grudge and that woulda been stupid. Delighted, she leaned up and dropped an indulgent kiss on his cheek. "It was ages ago. You're forgiven for standing me up. Besides, you're here now - which is awesome, by the way - so I'm sure I'll be back to wanting to punch you in, oh, say a week or so."

Bucky blushed instantly at that kiss on his cheek, but he also burst into a grin, looking at her. She really wasn't mad at him-- really, honestly didn't hate his guts for standing her up, and clearly had no intention of actually hating him. Because really, getting punched by her wasn't terrible. It hurt like a motherfucker, sometimes, but when it hurt like that, he always deserved it.

"So-- why are you here? I didn't realize til I got here this was like-- a school for the gifted kinda thing. I sure as hell ain't gifted."

"Well apparently someone saw something about you to warrant you here," Natasha points out with a grin. "And honestly I'm not sure why I'm here either, because I don't have abilities like every one else. It's not obvious for everyone here. I think they look at things we're not aware of. I mean, I'm smart enough and ambitious enough to keep up with some, but I'm pretty average in comparison to my classmates. So don't worry, you won't stand out that much unless you want to."
