Jack Quill's Story

Within the confines of a mess of clothes and sheets in the comforts of his bed, turned and tossed Jack Quill. Just another outcome of a night of hard liquor and naughty play time. The current chick that roams about his room is in the midst of cooking breakfast after being stirred awake from Jarvis's message. Jack of course was known to be a heavy sleeper and naturally ignored the call to action. Yet, he did not ignore the turning of his stomach as the pleasant aroma of sausage, eggs, and cheese whiffed by his nose. Out from underneath the covers, rose Jack Quill as he looked over to the babe wearing one of his t-shirts, with nothing underneath it of course.

He couldn't help but smile as he lazily fell of the side of his bed. The sudden dropped helped to awaken the half-asleep Jack as he quickly shot up to his feet. "Whoa, what you got cookin' good lookin'?" Despite the cheesiness of that line, it perhaps was on par with that cheesy omelette being cooked on that skillet. "An omelette, that's what." She responded with a playful wink. "Sweet." Jack spoke as he sat upon a barstool. Suddenly, toast sprang from the toaster as she slathered it in butter and raspberry jam. "Ah toast too, man, ain't I lucky bastard?" He spoke as she handed him the cooked bread. "Oh, hey Jack, while you were asleep some voice come on or something. Um, I don't know what he means, but he said something about classes?" The woman spoke. "Yeah, that's Jarvis, pretty stiff even for an A.I., what did he say?" Jack asked as he took bites from his toast.

"We'll he said in 15 minutes you have to go to floor L1 I think, oh and here's your omellette. Anyway said go to floor L1 for some class...everyone had to be there." She continued. "Yeah, yeah." Jack flippantly responded. "He said it was mandatory and if anyone was late they would be punished...even Stark's and Wayne's kids would be punished. That was like twenty minutes ago... Hey, is there someone related to Stark or Wayne here? I bet there hot." The girl continued to go on about the hotness level of their dads and possibly their sons as Jack's face elongated into one of shock. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" He shouted. He then tipped over in his bar stool as he rushed to clothe himself. Soon loose clothing flew up in the air as Jack frantically searched for something wearable. He eventually found a white T, his leather jacket, pants, a belt and his boots. He was practically in the middle of dressing himself as he tried to rush out the door.

"Oh shit, my tunes, my gun!" He yelled as he grabbed his iPhone, headphones, and the Element Gun. "Gotta fly see ya babe!" He shouted as he ran out the door one foot in a boot the other in a sock. "Wait food!" He shouted as he stole his other piece of toast and ran out. With a boot, toast, gun, and phone in hand Jack looked like some juggling side show with the amount of finagling he was doing. As he placed his phone on his hip he accidentally activated the button that was used to initiate his jet boots. "Oh, shit." He said with his mouthful of toast. He found himself on the floor as he rocketed down the hallway. He breezed past some of the staff, one a woman with a skirt. He got a quick look as he breezed past her. "Nice." He mumbled as he hanged on to his stuff for dear life.

"Ah shit!" He yelled as he crashed into an opened elevator nearly taking everyone inside off their feet. He then shot up to his feet, the jets deactivated. "Hey there, good morning right?" He chuckled as he pressed the button to floor L1. "Anyone going up?" He chuckled as some exited. Soon he found himself on floor L1 as he shoved his right foot into his boot. On the way he holstered his gun and iPhone as he slipped his headphones on and began his tunes. As he finished off his toast he saw that one guy and the other guy are there with two of the head honchos around here, the Secret Agent Man and the Butler. He then walked up to the group with swagger as if his morning went as perfectly as he planned it to be. He then nonchalantly spoke, "Hey there. Please somebody tell me that I just missed the most stirring lecture you gave to all the Johnny Come-Latelys. I mean, damn, I really wanted that stern talking to." He joked as he waved his finger in the classical scolding fashion. "Oh well, I better go and do my thing." He spoke sing-songly.

Theodore wasn't exactly pleased but he wasn't exactly angry over their ruling. Sure, he was irked they punished him over their own faults. He hasn't the fine control over his power, especially during unconsciousness and that screws with the digital and electrical systems in his room. So he didn't hear about this alert that was supposedly given to everyone else. Not to mention he's brought it up before, but perhaps he brought it up to the wrong people. Maybe he should tell these two men about it. Of course he looked over to Mathias with glare over his assigned nickname. "My name is Theodore in case you forgot." He coldly spoke. He then looked as that joke, Quill made a fool of himself. If only more tolerable people were late like him.

He then moved forward where Alfred had motioned for them to head to. When he entered the room he noticed all of the monitors showing what looked like arenas and within them, the other students. Besides learning about doing KP Duty for a month, at least this alternative assignment will provide useful insight for Theodore. He would be particularly glued to the monitor that would showcase Anansi Morales and whatever her partner is. Maybe he can gain some valuable information about his sworn enemy when they will, in his mind, inevitably clash. Theodore nodded and did look a bit pleased to be doing this assignment. He then heard about their prohibition from attending the dance.

This didn't bother Theodore at all. He found attending a dance with nuisances and enemies was not his definition of entertainment. Especially not enough incentive for him to speed up his punishment. Kitchen duty is enough for him. He found his way to a seat and began to watch the others.

Jack chuckled a bit nervously over Coulson's and Alfred's behavior. "Yeah, I'm speechless." He sarcastically remarked. Oh well, he was late. Like a big deal that was, it shouldn't be to anyone's surprise by now. He was then led to a room where his next assignment will be held. What they proposed was an interesting idea. Although he would rather be apart of the actual assignment, but Jack supposes this ain't so bad. He decided to take a seat as he looked at the monitors. "Now which arenas have the babes in it?" He questioned to himself as he scanned over the monitors. "Ooh, Wren!! Man, that fiery hair drives me wild!!!" He shouted aloud as he saw the monitor with Wren and Magni. He then turned his head to another one and saw the one with Aiden Drake and Nigma. "Mr. Know-it-All and one of the Twinsies? Boooooooring!" He sang aloud as he turned his attentions else where.

He saw the one with Ethan Drake and Olivia. "Ooh, Olivia, I really do like blondes and by the way we really do have more fun. Me more so since I'm into the dirty kind." He then chuckled over his innuendo. He then saw the monitor with Tommy and Matt. "Another sausage fest? Pass!" He spoke. He then saw the room with Stark and Astrid. "Hey look it's Astrid, she's a cutie." He then looked towards another monitor where two figures entered one being Elizabeth and the other Kain. "Ooh, thin Lizzy! Another hottie and she's got that femme fatale thing going on. It's no wonder Dad thought Gamora was hot!" He commentated. It was then he nearly missed what Philly mentioned-only nearly.

He looked at him with this look of fear as he shouted, "WAIT HOLD ON!? THERE'S A DANCE AND I CAN'T GO TO IT!!?" He then frantically stood up and nearly got down on his hands and knees and begged Phil about changing his mind when Al mentioned at the last minute, those extra chores that could save him. It was then he got down on his knees to Al instead. "Please Al-er I mean, Mr. Pennyworth! Please I gotta go to that dance! I'll do whatever you want me to do! Clean Mr. Wayne's billion cars? Done! Clean the bathrooms with a toothbrush? Done! Flip a sign on the street corner for the local pizza place? Done! Donate to charity!? DONE!!! Please, oh please, you gotta let me go man!! There's gonna be chicks at this thing man!!! You don't know what this is gonna do to me man!!! Imagine it, Jack Quill no show at the dance, alone in his apartment with a bowl of SpaghettiO's! It's a regular Greek tragedy!!!" Jack cried.

Jack changed his tune real quick after the response from Alfred as he jumped to his feet. He then regained his composure as he laughed his earlier behavior off. "Yeah, sure, no problem, your the man with the plan, Al-I mean, Mr. Pennyworth. Eesh, Glad no ladies were around to see that mess. Am I right guys?" He laughed. "Well Mathie, while I do not like balls, I do however like...," He then looked over to see Phil's face, "Well I'll just stop it right there, yeah, sure." He nervously chuckled. "Anyway, I'll just, walk over here and, uh, sit, yeah. Right who do we got now?" Jack spoke as he turned to look at the monitors once more.

Theodore was then on the edge of his seat as he saw the next students enter an arena. It was Junior and Anansi. "Oh hey look, it's Anansi, she cute too, but more in an adorable way rather than a sexy way. Huh? Well that's kinda weird thing for me to say." Jack spoke to no one in particular. "Wait, whose that with her again?" Jack asked. "It's Junior." A voice spoke from across the way. "Whoa, he lives!" Jack exclaimed. "Who was Junior again?" Jack asked as he tuned his attention to the other monitors.

Theodore wasn't really pleased with the pairing. Junior is unpredictable and not in the useful, wild card, type of way. No, it's unclear where his allegiances and intentions lie. He could be your ally one minute and your enemy the next, and he'll laugh about that very fact that you can't begin to read him. He'll take you by surprise that one. "You better watch yourself, Joker, you would do well to remember that Morales is mine." He thought to himself. The filling glass chamber reminded him of that one trick Houdini did. Even without her gear, he doesn't foresee any issues for Anansi completing this challenge, the real threat is her partner. It's difficult to work with someone you can't trust at all, especially one that will stab you in the back. In order to complete this challenge she cannot dwell on that fact, merely be aware of it. Still it's too early for him to comment on their progress, considering none has been made.

Jack then took notice of the latest arrivals. "Here comes our next contestants now." Jack spoke in a mock, Game Show Announcer's voice. "And they are, uh, oh, Speedy! And...," he dropped the fake accent and suddenly shouted, "...hubba, hubba, hubba, what do we got here!?!?" He then made a cat call as he shouted, "Lilith! Oh man, now that is a hard one. You know there are alot of fine ladies at this academy, but so far on these screens, hm, so far Wren, Liz, and Lilith are the hottest ones but which one is hotter?" He then rubbed his hair frantically. "Ah, man the decision is killing me!" Jack shouted. "Then stop thinking about it and shut up." Theodore spoke. "Huh, wha?" Jack slurred. "Why you gotta be like that huh? Just trying to livin' up this joint, sheesh." Jack spoke as he went back to looking at the monitors.

"Yeah, of course being quiet now." Jack spoke. "No arguments here." Jack responded when Phil called him a womanizer. It's true, he has an issue with the ladies sometimes, but so did his Dad. Just incredible libidos they both have. Jack then gave a nod, "Ah gotcha! Yeah those guys...sorry, I just will never understand homosexuality, no offense Mathie." Jack spoke as he placed both hands up in a surrender pose. He then grumbled as Alfred gave Mathias praise for actually doing something. It was then he overheard what they were saying about Wren and Magni's trial, it was then Jack raised is hand.

"I'll tell ya how." Jack then grew a smirk. "Instead of throwing Miss Red Hot, he should have thrown one of those spikes at the chains. If those spikes can pierce through Human flesh and bone, and if Magni is a strong as he claims. Then the force of his throw should have severed those chains. Actually it might be better to leave some chain hanging, because as soon as that cage drops, Viking Man will either A, grab the cage itself as both reach to the other side, or B, in case he misses the target he could at least grab hold of the chain and still make it to the other side." Jack spoke as he took a pause. "Oh and before you say, Where's the teamwork, well, Wren has super regenerative powers right? Well she'll have the job of catching those spikes in her body, since Magni can't really do it. She will then hand him those spikes like pins from a pin cushion. Also that would have eliminated the tough pickle that Wren is in right now." Jack spoke finishing his answer.

"See, I can pay attention to more than just how hot a babe is." Jack spoke as he looked at the other monitors. "As for the others, well the Cat Guy or whatever he's called and the other dude with him. They ain't working to full team capability. In fact they're competing with themselves instead of the arena and the time on the clock. Already enough shit to deal with in that room. Also Lizzie and the dude with her, she may say she will get over their differences but you can tell that's easier said than done. My Dad has dealt with issues with team work before, hell the Guardians are not what you would call hero material. All of them were motivated by pure self-interest, but that is when you need a defined leader, someone who can rally together friend and foe to become a cohesive unit. My Dad, was able to convince his partners to become just that, partners. These teams of two, some can work together, others not so much. It's good to have defined roles in a team. One should be the leader, someone who can keep their cool, someone tactical, and someone assertive. Although I would follow Lizzie anywhere, she's already shown to have lost her cool. I think the dude with her should be coming up with the plans, at least he's keeping his cool. Hell, he's even thinking before he acts." Jack continued.

"Speedy and Lily, well, he's the opposite, acting before thinking. Doesn't take the time to fully discuss and hash out strategy, just goes in head first. Not good, definitely would put Lilith in charge, and also because she's super sexy." Jack chuckled. He then took notice of Phil and Alfred's concerned about Wren's fall. "Wait!? This isn't a simulation!?" Jack spoke up, concern showing on his face. "LEAP MAGNI! FOR THE LOVE OF BEAUTIFUL BABES EVERYWHERE, LEAP GODDAMMIT!!!" Jack shouted slamming his fist on the table.

Theodore continued to sit and listen. He heard Mathias's questions and evaluations. Theodore knows what he would have done, but not everyone here has powers beyond normal Human limitations. It was then Jack chimed in an gave, what seemed like a seminar, in his ideas and course of action. He was actually surprised how into it he was, he thought he only cared about sex. It was then the room grew concerned about Wren. He wasn't quite sure why, isn't she the daughter of Deadpool? He's heard the stories about the famed mercenary. The man could survive anything, shot, stabbed, blown up, poisoned, and of course burned, and yet he still lives. Doesn't Wren have that same power? After all he has his father's power.

"Well that was bit of a close one huh?" He mildly chuckled in relief. He then sat back down in his seat as he heard Mathias attempting an argument with the boss men. "Whoa, that sounded a bit like defiance there? When I woke up this morning I would never expect Mathie to back talk the head honchos around here." He chuckled as he looked over the Mathias. "Don't worry I hear ya bro." Jack nodded. He then heard Phil's comment about death and Jack added, "Well wasn't that the point?" He chuckled. He then saw Alfred rushed and thought, "Feel bad for the guy who's gonna get an earful." It was then he was once again distracted by the monitors. "Whoa, hold up, hottie alert firing on all cylinders!" Jack spoke returning to his usual self. He looked at the monitor that showed Kumiko and Kallistrate attempt their trial.

"Ah sweet an all female one! This one is already my favorite...lets see, Kumiko, so we got ourselves a little Asian persuasion in there and...," Jack paused for a moment, "Damn, that's a lot of woman there! She's got them legs that last for miles!" Jack said aloud. He then took notice of the water. "Oh, man, please tell me one of them will go for a dip, that would be freakin' sweet." He said with a laugh. He then looked over to another monitor and noted it was another all female trial. "Look it's the other Lizzie! And she's with Adrienne. As much as I like women, those two, are a bit out there...don't know how I feel about someone that can read your mind while the other...well, I don't even know what to say for her." Jack spoke while in thought.

He then snapped out of his train of thought when he heard Mathias speak. "Huh? What did you say?" He asked. He wasn't sure if he was talking to him or not.

_____________________________




Theodore sat there and watched as everyone seemed to calm down after Magni saved Wren. Like Jack, he was a bit surprised to see Mathias argue but it didn't really matter to him. Yet, it was the words that Alfred and Coulson spoke, Theodore found himself oddly agreeing with. He then looked towards Mathias who seem perturbed by all of this. "Their not wrong Mathias...death is omnipresent. Who knows one day you could just walk outside and be struck by lightning." Theodore spoke. Jack made a face over his comment but before he could speak, "Don't say a word, Jack." Theodore warned. Jack then backed off by placing his hands in the air.

"My point is, the real world doesn't give a shit about your survival. Better off for the rest of you to face death in this school now, then perhaps you won't get caught with your dick in your hands when it does happen." Theodore finished. Jack made another face like he was about to say something but Theodore flashed him another glare that made him back off. He then returned his attention back to Junior's and Anansi's trial. He scoffed when the cage started to fill with water. He was curious as to how she will respond? So far, she didn't seem worried, confident in her abilities. Good, maybe she won't fail or maybe she will?

Theodore wouldn't have been drawn into this conversation, hell, he even wouldn't have given Mathias the time of day. Except right now he is bothered especially after Mathias's misinterpretation of his words. He perhaps could have thought something better to say but it is a common expression, coming from him however people are gonna think otherwise. "If I wanted to threaten you, believe me, you would feel threatened." Theodore responded coldly. Theodore intended to leave it at that but he decided to add more of his two cents into the conversation, because, well, Jack certainly isn't going to add anything intelligent to it. Unless he surprises him again like he did earlier with stating his observations.

"Yeah but soldiers can't fire sonic waves with their vocal cords, or fire electricity from their hands. We are different and the threats we face reflect that. Soldiers train to fight other soldiers, we on the other hand fight beings with inconceivable power. Take Magni's father for instance, they say he's a God and he's faced threats that could kill him. If their are things and people out there that can kill Gods then what chance does a soldier have? This world relies on people like us to protect them because they understand that if they fought for themselves, they would be utterly destroyed." Theodore spoke.

"That is why these guys are pushing us. Having us face death even during a simple training simulation. Because we are on another level and therefor our training must be extreme. To have us go through anything less would be an insult to our capability and a waste of time on their part." Theodore finished.

Jack sat their listening. He wasn't quite sure what Mathias's problem seemed to be. It sounded to him like he though that he was acting like an asshole. He wouldn't be surprised if many people thought he was, it wouldn't be the first time someone interpreted him as such. Sure he can be loud and annoying and seem to not care about a thing. And sure he remembers a time or two where he has acted like an asshole. Yet it was towards other assholes as well. He didn't mean to seem like such an ass to Mathias, he had no issues with the guy. He just likes to poke fun but Jack does have difficulty in knowing the RIGHT people to poke fun at.

The attitude in the room seemed to change despite his best efforts. He felt and worried an confrontation between Theo and Mathie might come about. Jack coughed, "Ahem!" He then looked at Theo with a smile. "Um, you sure did say us a lot...I thought you were like anti-good guy or whatever." He chuckled. "Shut up." Theodore responded. "Hey I'm just saying." Jack chuckled again.

Theodore twitched a little at Mathais's little quip about the villains. He didn't see his father as one but he understood the classification. He was just trying to get a rise out of him. His brow began to furrow but Theo kept control over his emotions but Mathias was beginning to push him. If he knew what's best for him, he would leave it at that.

Then Mathias came to Jack's defense which Theodore responded with a roll of his eyes. It was then Mathias had to say one word further and there it came. It could have been another quip but this felt like a personal challenge and without hesitation he stood up and walked over to Mathias, despite Coulson standing right there. "You wanna fight me Mathias, huh, is that what you want? Come on then, say the word, because I would like to see you try." He spoke, irritation rising in his voice.

Jack then shot up and spoke, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey wait a minute, let's just pause for the cause for a moment. Now we don't need you guys doin' the rain dance in front of Phil-I mean Mr. Coulson. Now Teddy, can I call you Teddy?" Jack spoke as he wrapped an arm around Theodore's shoulder. "It's Theodore!" He proclaimed as he tossed his arm aside. "Okay, Okay, bad move, I'll admit it, but you're about to make one yourself right now." Jack spoke. "What's it matter to you what I do? Just stay out of this unless you want some of this too." Theodore spoke raising his fist to Jack. "Uh, I may have been called crazy before but I don't think I need electro-shock therapy just yet, but joking aside, I get it. Why all of a sudden would I give two shits about you getting into trouble? It doesn't affect me if you make an ass out of yourself, but hey, we're in this together aren't we? We're all just trying to pass the same classes and figure out our shit right? I mean these guys are making things tough on all of us, so don't think we already have enough shit to deal with without adding more on ourselves?" Jack asked.

Theo looked at him and shook his head. "Whatever." He said with a tired expression. He then walked away from the situation, it was starting to become more trouble than it was worth. He then made his way back to his seat and sat down. Jack sighed as he looked at Mathias as he shrugged at him. He then went back to his seat. He then looked at the monitor with Kallistrate and Kumiko. "Uh oh, looks like feeding time at Sea World!" He said aloud.
