>>5523776Martin’s School. Joyous Harbor, Rhode Island.
It’s not only the first school for superhumans in America, it’s the first school for superhumans in the world. Before Martin’s, back in the old masked mystery men era, superhumans kind of had to school themselves, because FDR heavily regulated superhumans as “unfair competition” to basic workers under the NRA, and that meant superhumans operating in public without proper certification were DOA, RIP, in short, toast.
World’s a lot nicer to superhumans now. Well, outside Earth State.
The school itself is a big ol’ building, and a big old building too. 100 floors. You saw it looming back on the boat. They started building this thing when the Worlds War broke out in the late 1930’s and finished it before it ended in 1949. It looks sort of like a big pile of sand, or a melting birthday cake. It’s got a lot of recessions and ledges that make it look like it’s carved out of bone or something. It’s useful for the flying classes. In fact, you can see some flying kids swarming about the ledges like little clouds of insects.
Clouds of insects? Geeze, you think you could have called them something else. But that’s what they look like next to the building.
It’s a little overwhelming as you walk up to the building. Okay, it’s a lot overwhelming. Overwhelmingly overwhelming. There’s all these kids and adults walking, running, flying, running at super speed, running at super-super speed, running at speeds so fast you can’t even tell they’re there (but they totally are), jumping out of portals, jumping out of the ground, jumping out of thin air, how they’re not all colliding with each other you don’t know, you feel like you’re going to go splat right into someone and you aren’t even moving,
