Working on a reply now, hope you don't mind me kinda "controlling everyone" in a sense. James is gonna make a small plan and it goes through, but what happens during it is totally up to you guys to make in your next posts!

If your character isn't a new student, then they're probably in the Program!

I'm currently at work so I can't give you a list just yet!

@King Kindred

Hello! Yeah, we are still accepting! And take your time, you can talk with Ben Poole on what you wanna do, if you can compromise!

The Next Avengers

James stepped out of his dorm room nice and clean, wearing a pair of worn jeans, some training shoes, a gray t-shirt with a dark blue canvas jacket, and on his back was his triangular shield given to him by his grandpa Rogers. For six years James has been trying to do the best he possibly could. He loved his family, and loved that he came from a line of heroes, but that isn't why he was here. He wanted to help people, it was in his blood. He could never turn away from a fight, especially if people needed help somewhere. It proved to be challenging at times though, here at school. People either feared or respected him because of who his grandparents were, and who his mom was...

James was quick to anger whenever someone used his family to try and insult him, and that usually ended in the other students going to the Academy's nurse/emergency room. He wasn't perfect, but he like he said, he was trying.

James made it to the cafeteria to see it already packed. Scanning the room he had to smile a bit. His grandparents would tell James about how humans and superhumans never fully got along until recently. There were many kids at this school who had no true powers, but they had a lot give.

He saw familiar faces, he gave smiles and nods to those who called over at him, and he was about to go grab some breakfast until he heard a lard crash and a "LOOK OUT!" James turned to see what seemed to be a little "project-gone-wrong" flying through the cafeteria. Screams and shrieks filled the room as the rocket-like object soared with incredible speed, right at a very young looking kid. James without hesitation ran and vaulted over a table, taking the shield off his back. James stood in front of the kid, shield drawn and as soon as the rocket came at him, he swatted it away with a metallic "Ting!".

"Hey!! Heads up!" James yelled as the rocket flew away from the crowd upwards. He knew someone in this cafeteria had the power to fully stop the thing.

The Next Avengers

Rain fell heavily in the New York countryside. Thunder shook the ground, and lightning illuminated the gray sky as a car drove up to a gated fence, a stone pillar had a steel plaque that read "Ravencroft Estate." Ravencroft was known to hold the world's most dangerous and insane criminals.

"You know, you don't have to go with me."

"I... I know. But I want to."

The car pulled up to the front of the estate, a tall, strong man climbed out. His beard and side burns were thick and matched his neatly done brown hair. His soft brown eyes looked over to his son, full of concern. "You're sure about this?"

The younger man was tall, strong, and gave off a sense of honor, he stood up straight, his dark brown hair matched his father's, but it was held in a messy fashion. He had a handsome face, with a strong jaw and noble look about him, his dark blue eyes looked over at his father and nodded with a smile of assurance. A woman dressed in white walked out of the estate. "Hello, How can I help you two?"

"Hello. My name is Thomas Howlett. I made an appointment to see Margaret Rogers."

The two made their through the dark corridors. Laughter and voices echoed through the halls. "Remember, James... She's not who you remember." The father said quietly, his hand on his shoulders. They reached a steel door, and James stared at it, trying his best not to shake from fear. He had to stay strong... It had been so long since he's seen her or heard her voice.

The door opened to a white room, and in the corner sat a woman with unkept blonde hair in a gown, holding her knees up to her chin, staring out the window. The room was dead silent. James took the first step into the room, but the woman didn't notice. James slowly stepped towards the woman, an emotion of sickness, anger, and sadness moving through his whole body. "Mom." James whispered, holding out his hand he tried to touch his mother's shoulder.

Just before he made contact his mother turned towards him, the sight met him freeze in fear. Her face was deformed, and gave an evil grin. "You're next, boy!" a equally disturbing voice whispered, and out of her mouth a red shape with a demonic face rushed towards James.

James Rogers woke with a start, completely drenched in sweat. His entire body was flexed, and he was sitting up breathing heavily. His instincts kicked in and he was in defense mode. It was just a dream. His arms lowered a bit, and he gave out a large sigh.

He was back in his Academy Dorm. He had been since two days ago, but that dream has been haunting him forever. He always wanted to of see his mother again. But he was too scared, and ashamed of what happened. James looked over at his alarm clock. It was 5:30 in the morning, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get back to sleep again. He climbed out of bed, and turned on the lights, preparing for the day. Every dorm room in the Academy was personally designed for each student, and even though he was now in Los Angeles, his dorm looked like his apartment room in New York.

Movie posters, sports trophies from little league, photos of him and his family, and an old Brooklyn Dodgers pennant decorated the wall. His desk had a single lamp and wrappers and papers scattered all over it, he had a punching bag in the corner of the room, and next to the door was a baseball bat, and his shield he carried everywhere. The room also came with a personal bathroom and closet, and a TV. He put on a pair of dark blue sweatpants and a training shirt with the iconic "A" on the upper shoulder. After that he walked through the empty campus, and started his morning jog.

--

James arrived back on campus by the time the sun was up, and the first batch of students had finally arrived for the new "semester."

The campus was huge, and had pretty much anything. There was a large lake, a forest, and the desert surrounding the campus that was full with slick and stylish buildings. There were buildings for classes, dorms, arenas that changed environment for simulations, a multi-level gym, and in the center of it all was the Hall of Heroes that resembled Stark Tower in New York. The upper levels were where the Advanced Classes took place.

James walked across campus, and students of all ages were swarming around, talking and laughing, students who could flew overhead, speedsters zoomed by causing a student to drop all of their books.

It had been two years since he was placed into the "Next Avengers" program, and so far he was one of the top students in the Academy. People have come and gone, and there will be new and old faces that he will see up in the tower. He moved out of the way of a guy chasing down a suitcase that was walking on its own, and waved at a couple of people he recognized from the previous years.

He still had to take a shower and get everything ready for the day...Hopefully James' sixth year being at this academy will be a good one.
