For years, the walls have closed. The Avengers Academy was the premiere school for young superhumans. It trained the greatest heroes of our generation. And now, it was shut down due to the fact that the main teacher died.

Hank Pym died sacrificing himself to stop Ultron, a maniacal machine. And because of his death, the walls have closed.

But now, the walls will reopen. The Avengers Academy reborn. And it starts with three heroes.


LOCATION: A Mysterious Room in a Mysterious Place. Seems very...mysterious.

"Hullo?" A British voice says. It was a dark night and a woman was walking into a mysterious room. She was a beautiful Japanese woman in a form fitting leotard. She turned her head and saw another figure in the room with her.

"Hello Betsy." An American voice says. "Welcome to Recruitment Day." The lights turned on and it revealed Carol Danvers-donned in her Captain Marvel uniform- sitting at a table with 7 distinct folders.

"Carol?" Betsy says. "What the bloody hell is going on here?"

"It's simple. I'm continuing Hank's legacy. I'm reopening the Academy." Carol says. Another person walked in with them. He wore a yellow and black suit and his hair was blonde.

"Alright Carol. What am I doing here? I had to break a date for this. I was gonna take Medusa to Chinese." Jonathan Storm - the Human Torch- says to the Captain.

"You and Betsy are here to help me see if these are them. The 7 students that we are going to recruit for the Academy." Carol says.

"Wait. YOU want to jumpstart the Academy?" Johnny says.

"Yes."

"But remember what Hank told us? His students were destined to become the next Masters of Evil. What are these students to us?"

"These students," Carol says, "are the bridges in our generation. Each has the capability to become Avengers. But they need the right push to become them."

"So you want to help them become Avengers?" Johnny says.

"They already are great. But they can become better."

"Alright. Who do we have?" Betsy says. Carol opened one file and it appeared on a digital screen that hovers in the air. It was multiple video clips of a bank robbery from different angles. Each clip shows a single hero: someone with metal claws brandishing from their hands killing each of the bank robbers.

"His name is Feral. He is a very dangerous mutant. His real name is Jackson Hoss. He's 19. Born from a family in Alberta, he inherited the recessive X-Gene. His powers? He has the ability to heal very quickly and, well, claws?" Carol says.

"He's more than that," Betsy says, "Carol, he's a Wolverine."

"Yes he is. I want him to come here and help him learn to honor the Logan Legacy." Carol says. "He's joining the Academy." She closed the file and opened another. A hero was portrayed flying through the air with wings on his back. On his chest, was an emerald version of the Hala Star. Johnny looked closely at him and realized something.

"I know him." Johnny says. "His name is Gabriel Stones. He visited Attilan to talk to Medusa about his growing powers. He has the ability to create hard light constructs. His only limit is his imagination

"So he's an inhuman?" Carol says.

"Yeah! He even found a pretty cool codename: Photon." Johnny says.

"Monica know he stole her old alias?" Carol says. "Cause I have a line to her right now."

"Just don't tell her and we will all be fine." Johnny closed Gabe's file and pushed it next to Jack's. Betsy grabbed another file and opened it to reveal a video of a crowd, but it was focused on one girl. She bumped into someone and quickly changed her appearance to match.

"Dara Kim Nessa is 17 and a shapeshifter. She was burned by the people who tortured her. They gave the ability to perfectly mimic a person. She also can elongate her arms and increase her stature and decrease it as well. Her power also can turn her arms into sharp edged blades to attack her opponents with. The folks of her city call her Shamellion." Betsy says.

Alth "A shapeshifter? Doesn't our world have enough of those." Johnny says. "Mystique, Ms. Marvel, and Reed (wherever he is) are enough for our world!"

"Cram it Storm." Carol says. "She's really good."

"Alright." Betsy says, closing the file and pushing it into the acceptance pile. Carol reached into a file and pulled of a small girl sneaking around hospitals. They watch as she breaks into a room and there is a sudden bright light.

"There's no footage except usually after the bright lights, but after she left there was a 100 percent increase in health from that room that she broke into. I did more and more digging. Her name is Sam Grey. She's 16 and she was taken as a drug mule when her family was in Detroit. When she woke up, she had strong umbrakinetic and photokinetic abilities. She also can teleport." Carol explains.

"She's like Cloak and Dagger." Betsy says.

"Yes she is," Carol says, pushing her file away. She reaches for a file and opens it to reveal schematics of a robot. It looked like a younger form of the Vision.

"A Vision?" Johnny says. "Where did a vision come from?"

"During one of Ultron's attacks, he tried to recreate the Vision's body. The attempt worked, but he was a child. The Avengers stopped him and took the body but it was a long time ago. I think I was still going by Warbird back then." Carol explains. "The body was found in Rock Hill, where Photon was located. He unearthed the body and turned it on."

"Wait. An Inhuman found Ultron Tech and could turn it on?" Betsy says. "How?"

"Doesn't matter. He's on and he's helping Photon patrol their city and the surrounding areas. His human alias is Darian Wright, but his actual hero name is Astral." Carol says, closing his file and pushing it into the accept pile.

"Wow Cap. These heroes," Betsy says, "they all have potential. Are these them?"

"Yep. That's all of them." Carol says, completely ignoring one last file. Johnny noticed this and he swooped through and grabbed it and opened it.

"Carol? Who are they?" Johnny says, with their profiles being screened. It was a boy and a girl robbing a bank. The boy was flying through the air and tackling people as the girl was holding her hand to her temple and knocking people out who got close to her.

"Aleyah and Clay Miller. They're a brother-sister crime unit. They live in Detroit and use their powers not for good. Aleyah is an Inhuman who has telepathic and telekinetic abilities. She's a Jean Grey in her own right. Clay can fly into the air and high speeds. He also displays aerokinetic abilities to further his speed and create barriers of wind and attacks. I don't think they're right for the school."

"They seem to be exactly what we need for the school." Johnny says. "We can teach them to be good. And if that doesn't work, then we lock them up."

"Great." Carol says. "Inhumans, mutants, mutates, and synthezoids. We sure we're up to this?"

"Oh yeah. These kids won't know what hit them." Johnny says.

"Let's hope so." Betsy sighs as the three of them looked on at the spots.

"I can get the Ultimates to find them." Carol says.

"Then let's open the Avengers Academy." Johnny says and the three head out to start recruiting. Carol turned around and turned off the lights. But what they don't know is that another person walked in behind them. He approached the pile and looked at them.

"Heh. The new Avengers Academy. They will have nothing against my heroes." A mysterious voice says. He walks over to a drawer and opens it. In it were folders like the ones that Captain Marvel selected for the academy. He grabbed them and there was a flash of light.
