-Third Person point of view-

"Good morning midtown high! Today is a very special day beca-"

"Yeah, I'll take it from here" Tony grabs the microphone from the principal Roger Harrington. "You all know who we are, Avengers, Earth's mightiest heroes, hottest people you'll ever meet, anyway today you will be rotating between activities that each of us will be running."

Everyone's face lit up once Tony Stark walked into the Gym with the rest of the Avengers. Lilith looked around the crowd scanning for Peter. She felt much happier than she did last night. Her and Steve had apologised before they left and everything was back to normal, well with the team anyway. Fury was very much still angry and fuming but he did get everything he wanted from Astor's corpse so no harm done... kind of. She was focussing so hard she bumped into Loki.

"Careful elsku blómið mitt" Loki smiled and propped Lilith back up straight making her blush a little. She hoped Loki didn't see, well he didn't but everyone else did.

"I'm sorry rock of ages, do you want share with the rest of the class?" Tony asked in a teacher's tone causing the students to erupt into laughter. "Anyway, Rogers and Barnes will be teaching you about History because they're old and Banner and I will be occupying the STEM labs because we are the smart ones." Tony's comment made Bucky roll his eyes and Bruce smile to himself.

"Wanda and Vision will be teaching Language studies, Wilson will be doing psychology and mental health awareness and Thor, Romanoff, Pietro, and Barton will be running P.E here in the gym. Legolas can teach you all archery, barbie can teach you self-defence, Speedy Gonzales will of course be doing track and triple imposter Romanoff will be teaching you ballet" everyone in the gym laughed at Tony's nicknames for the team. A kid with round black glasses and shaggy brown hair raised his hand in the crowd. "You have a question?"

While Tony was talking Lilith fiddled with her ring which had grown a richer shade of emerald. She twisted on her finger in deep concentration. She felt just as nervous as she did at the press conference, sure these were kids but the only kid she had talked to was Peter. She was barely a kid herself how would she know anything about these little gremlins? The whole time she fiddled with the ring Loki gazed down at her with a soft smile on his face.

"What about Loki and Miss Avenal? Will they be running an activity?" the kid asked.

"Oh yeah, Loki and Lilith will be teaching sorcery." Tony said glancing to the pair who weren't paying any attention. "They were going to be teaching literature and Lilith was going to contact William Shakespeare from the grave but they kept arguing about what his best book was, so yeah, now you get a magic show."

"Okay everyone gets into your roll classes!"  the principle shouted. The kids started moving around in their classes and the avengers split off to their first class of the day. "Each rotation will be consecutive and go for 50 minutes! Mr. Stark has planned something special for the last hour of the school day. Have fun kids!"

-Lilith's Point of View-

Loki teleports the two of us plus the group to an empty classroom and the kids each take a seat at the desks. At the front of the room is a small lectern as well as a large white board. I feel anxious as I look around the classroom filled of high school students.

"It will be okay elsku blómið mitt" Loki smiled to me before turning back to the full classroom. I wondered to myself why he kept calling me that, but I decided to dismiss it quickly. "Good morning, I am Loki and this is Lilith, and we are going to be teaching you about sorcery. More specifically about the different magic Lilith, Lady Wanda and I possess." Loki continued to talk about his and Wanda's power and I felt myself zone out for who knows how long. "Darling you there?"

"Huh?"

"I asked if you wanted to explain your powers" Loki looked at me with concern on his face. I quickly snapped back to reality and nodded my head.  I step up to the lectern and rested my hands on it.

"Hello everyone" okay I got this, confidence is key just fake it till you make it, right? "Have any of you heard of necromancy?" a few kids around the room raised their hands. One boy up the back of the class scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Necromancy isn't real, that's what crazy people tell themselves to make themselves feel better about seeing stuff that isn't real." I look at the kid and raise my eyebrow. I could see Loki already with an amused face ready to see everything unfold. I saunter over to the boy and lean over the desk to look him in the eyes.

"What's you name kid?" I ask in the sweetest tone I could muster.

"Flash" the whole class watched in suspense. 

"Well Flash I think you should tell that to the man sitting in the chair next to you" Flash looked at me confused before turning to his left. Flash fell back shocked to see the ghost of a tall lean man with black hair and a pale face with a translucent body. I smirked to flash who cowered on the floor as the class laughed. I walk back over to the lectern while still focussing my energy on summoning the spirit.

(Spoilers for crimson peak in the next paragraph) 

"This, ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between, is Sir Thomas Sharpe! He was killed by his sister Lucille Sharp at their mansion located on what was known as Crimson Peak!" I gesture grandly to the wondering ghost who had a sorrowful look on his face. "He was the Tony Stark of 1887, quite the player, really he had three wives! But four partners... but we don't talk about that."

I clear my throat before waving my hand and making the spirit disappear from the others sight. Loki let out a small laugh as I continued to speak to the class and Flash stumbled back into his seat.

"So as a necromancer, I can summon, manipulate, communicate to and raise the dead. I can also predicts your deaths- this one time Loki and I did tricked some people and we- hey!" Loki nudged me in the side to stop me from talking. "Oh come on it's funny!"

"Lilith we're meant to be good influences while we're here and the captain wouldn't appreciate you sharing drunk stories" Loki said placing his hand on my shoulder. I try not to blush at the contact and roll my eyes at him.

"Fine, I'll just post a story time on whatever TikTok is, Pietro told me about it" we continue on with the lesson and I show the kids some more tricks. I summon some more historical figures and Loki creates fireworks and illusions. When the bell goes for the next rotation, everyone begins to stand up and grab their bags. "Have fun on your next rotation!" I bid everyone goodbye. Suddenly a cold feeling quite literally washes over me causing me to let out a high pitched scream and gasp.

"Oops, sorry darling" Loki smirks to me. A cold bucket of ice water had poured down on me and everyone in the class starts laughing hysterically. Loki conjures me a towel and places it around me. I punch him in the arm as everyone files out of the room still bubbling with laughter. Well at least the lesson wasn't boring...

"I hate you."

"You know you love me."
