Cool dream. We know it comes from too many comics and too much Thor, but I'll take it~

Okay. At first, I just had the impression that it was a school/camp dream of some sort. Then it fleshed out a bit and it became an X-men style/Hogwarts style school for the... gifted. Awesome, brain! Let's do it~ So, it started with the first night. We all got there around dinner time, but I just had to scope out the grounds etc, so I missed the meet and greet and only went inside the building at lights out. I was scared at night (power related?) and searched for a light bulb (idek, whatever) for a while, gave up, and found a blanket and pillow in the center of a group of Buddhist monk looking guys on the floor in one of the rooms. Seemed the safest group, for some reason. Cue sleep. I legit blanked out for a sec where I "slept" inside of a dream. Sleepception. Creepy. Anyway: woke up, first day of "classes" was mainly groups being split up for team building exercises to help us choose friends and so the professors could assess our powers/aptitudes. Not all of it was 'go lift this tree' or 'power show-off time lolz!' I seemed to choose a lot of the home-ec/brainy/think your way out of this situation groups. At first I proved that I am ALWAYS teacher's pet. ESPECIALLY when the teacher is a certain super-villain who must have reformed a great deal at some point to be allowed to shape the minds and hearts of impressionable children. I was determined: regardless of what Professor Loki taught, I was gonna ace that mothereffing class. I had to. My power made it a certainty. Magic-user. Reality-bender. Mythological-base. Oh. We were gonna be bffs asap. I apparently had a really cool team-boost power that somehow warped reality to my will. Wishes. I could grant wishes. The nickname 'Genie' was inevitable, and I MUST have been scared at night because I'm powerless alone and VERY likely a kidnapping risk. Lemme just say, nothing makes a villain wanna kidnap you more than potential power-boosts. Total potential for me to be grievously misused. Anyway, while I was in the Prof. Loki team, we had already done a Sneaky 101 lesson in a group of around 15 and we were just going to make lunch. For everyone. Why am I always on cook duty? Oh yeah. I can wish the onions into non-tear-ness. Whatever. Not complaining. Really nice kitchens in the building, btw. Major thumbs-up, brain. I was sitting next to a guy who I was flirting with (Prof thought this HILARIOUS. Don't laugh! I have to make friends fast! Friends don't hurt genies as easily as strangers! ;A;) and he was dishing it right back and I had moved on to the touchy phase of *poke, giggle, oh~ you're so funny* that girls often get into. We both had no real clue about each others powers because "Miss Williamson? I need you cut the onions with no tears." could work in any number of ways and opening the pickle jar of doom could just be finesse. I got the impression that he was a good guy/nice guy, though and he seemed to have a power/strength/brawn-over-brain power, even though he was plenty smart enough. Bruce Banner-esque, perhaps? Maybe just strong-guy. *shrug* Anyway, I was flirt/teasing him and said I was going to 'steal' his shirt. He was wearing a Thor long-sleeved tee and Loki made gagging motions behind his back and rolled his eyes, I didn't care, though. Strong-guy just chuckled and ruffled my hair and went back to slicing, not squishing, tomatoes. It was my point. Why was I competing with an ex-super-villain? How did the competition work? Whatever. Roll with it. Anyway, big boom. Planned? Unplanned? In a class with god of chaos and inevitable? Whatever. Loki magics away a few students, I duck, Strong-guy (nickname ideas: Captain Nameless? Nobody?{haha~ Iliad/Odyssey reference}) catches a flying chunk of something heavy heading for me and then has to intercept a person who also seems stronger than your average gorilla. Nobody's in a pickle, now, so I scream "What do you need!? ASK ME FOR SOMETHING!" He was clueless and just said 'I need you to get down! I got this!' even though that is the lamest thing ever, especially when you haven't 'got this.' I was forced by powers to stay down, but was freaking out because mean-n-ugly was bending Nobody's back like a bow and I just knew he was gonna snap like a twig any second. Where the hell was the professor!? So, tears in eyes, every piece of pretty gold jewelry I was wearing glowing blue, forced to stay on my hands and knees until a new request was made, I was screaming/snarling "WISHES, IDIOT! TELL ME!"

And he finally gets it (was the glowing genie-gold a give-away?) and asks for "Unnghh- Too strong- need stronger- I need you to- get help!" I blinked in Loki, who seemed legitimately surprised to be here and not where he was, but who vanishes the attacker and poofs Nobody flat on his back next to me, instead of how he was going to fall forward onto his face. I shake the ever loving crap out of Nobody and tell him to 'just ask for help next time, stupid! What do you think I'm for!?' My new friend, Nobody (lol, I can never make friends, can I?~) says sorry and fluffs my hair again, sits up and I bang my head on his shoulder a few times in exasperation while the professor does clean-up of the other chaos around us. It only takes him a few seconds and it is now obvious that it was a lesson and we were never really in too much danger. We passed, and so did a few other groups. A trio managed to take down an attacker and the kids who were taken away by Loki were twin will-benders and made him think he wanted to get them to safety. Nice trick, that~ A few others got reprimanded, though, because they froze or worked against each other. Lunch was magicked into existence, the debris were poofed away, and the class was deemed sufficient. Everyone else filed in looking worse for the wear (how many other 'surprise' attacks were there?!) and I sat with Nobody and a few of his friends he made earlier. I was still weepy and tsun about him being an idiot and making me stay down when I couldn't even help. His friends made a few jokes about wishes and me being on my knees that made Nobody blush and me throw peas at them. The professor was at the Hogwarts-esque staff table with his brother, who looked drenched from rain but was laughing and regaling everyone with the story of his group's "victory over the very elements," (I knew I saw a few shell-shocked kids come in looking singed, twitchy, and wet...) and the rest of the teachers. Obviously, my brain has cast Loki as Snape. I'm not complaining. Passed first test, have new friends, not dead yet... All in all, not a horrible first day, really.

super, awesome, where were hugin and munin?, myths, dreams, harry potter
