There are worlds where there is no point of divergence. No roads that are not travel, but different roads entirely. Different, fantastic worlds with only a passing similarities to our own. My name is Uatu. I am of a race called The Watchers. It is my duty to watch over these worlds, in every point and possibility thereof. Earth 1118, a world unlike our own but somehow so very similar. The fantastic is mundane. The extraordinary is ordinary. There is nothing out of place. And yet there is strangeness. The heroes and villains that legend tell of are youth, struggling with the challenge that adolescence brings to them. Thorough coincidence, or some sort of hand, they attend the same facilities of learning. The Academy of Tomorrow in Westchester, Massachusetts. Here, This is the world they inhabit. The world of Tomorrow.

Matt Murdock hits the table. " Objection. Leading the witness ". Mrs. Ryan looks up and pauses. " Mr. Murdock, sit down. We have not yet begun. " Matt sits back down and folds his arm. The blind kid. The one with the glasses. So much rage inside of him and no where to put it. So he puts in the hands of the law. What can he say, he's interested in the law. A year in the Forensics club. A year in the Crime club and a few fights in between had made Matt Murdock an expert in his own mind. What does she know, he asks himself. I bet she couldn't even begin walking thorough the steps of litigation, he answers cynically.
The blind kid. Matt Murdock of the Academy Of Tomorrow sits during Law class and waits.

Alicia had been allowed to sit in the back. Watching, her boyfriend make an idiot of himself. It was alright though, he just was overly excited or something, he would recover everyone's respect. Alicia had only been in the Academy of Tomorrow for a month or so, she had turned eighteen in here time at the school. And she had met Matt. It wasn't so bad really, they got laughed at a little, about them both being blind...comments when no one thought she was listening. -How do they know if they end up at the same table at a restaurant? 'Laughing' I bet they trip each other swinging those sticks around!- Alicia tried not to pay attention to those people, she did have some friends who supported her, but it didn't stop the comments from hurting. Alicia went back to paying attention to the Law class. Hoping Matt could make some sort of recovery from his outburst.

Raven smirked. What a goof-ball. She picked at her black nails and listened with solemn interest to the case going on around her.
She'd been chosen as the "defendant" which was a nice way of saying the villain. It obviously was revenge for messing with the popular kids head by shapeshifting and destroying friendships. Either that or the teachers thought she needed more "positive interaction" with others.
Raven patted her mouth, yawning loudly.

Matt rose, cleared his throat and steadied himself a bit, his fingertips laying across the desk. " The people call Angelo Unuscione to the stand. ", Matt said in a clear voice. Angelo was a tall student. His hair was dark and his eyes were narrow. He was one of those meat heads on the football team. Matt approached. He began slow and his words elicited a calm. He knew that Alicia could hear him and so he tried a little harder for her. " Mr. Unuscione, where were you on the night of August 24th, 8:33 PM. " he began.

Alicia held back a snicker, Unuscione? What a horrible last name... Alicia listened with little interest. Unless this was a very unique crime, most likely it would be boring. But, Matt was working hard, and she wanted to encourage him. Alicia wondered if she could bring a palm sized piece of clay to class, just to keep busy. If she dropped it though, that could cause problems. She leaned back and listened.

" Mr Unuscione, is it true you were seeing leaving the estate of Ms. Darkholme at the time by this man " He produced the picture of one Mortimer Toyebee and proceed. " Do you believe, in your heart Mr. Unuscione, that Ms. Darkholme could have committed this crime? " he asked and Mr. Unuscione answered truthfully before stepping off the stand. Matt sat back down and waited for the defense to rise. He began to poke holes in a page. When he was complete he passed it back as a make shift braille love note to Alicia.

Alicia took the piece of paper, it had to be from Matt. He was the only one who bothered to send her notes...he was the only one who could write what she could read! She pressed her finger along the first line, blushing slightly as she finished it. She went on to the next, ignoring the class and trying to imagine his voice saying what the note said. She had never been one for sappy things, romance movies were boring. But, when she had someone writing her notes, and telling her she was sweet...she did seem to have a bit of a weakness for sappy things. Alicia wondered if she dared write a letter back...she figured it couldn't hurt, and she could give it to him later. She grabbed her pencil out of her backpack and a piece of paper as well. ~Dear Matt, Thanks for the note, I love you too! I'm not sure what you say in these sort of things, and copying what you said would be silly, so, I'll try to explain how happy I am to have met you, and to know you love me...~ Alicia quietly punched holes, and listened to the Class.

Poke poke poke
Foggy Nelson narrows his eyes.
" Matt. " And his voice is hush and low. " Stop it. "
" Hmm? "
"Dude, seriously. Not cool. I don't wanna be stuck writing notes to be handing back notes to Alicia all period. We're in the middle of case. "
Foggy worried too much, or at least that's what Matt thought to himself, as he punched more holes into the page. Poke poke poke.
" Look, I know that you can't wait until the bell rings, but focus Matt. Our grade is built on the case we have. "
" Our case is solid. We got Raven dead to rights and she knows it. f*gin isn't getting her out. He doesn't know how to.
Poke poke poke.
Foggy placed his hands over Matt's, stopping him from poking holes in the page.
" He's doing pretty d**n well now. "
And Alan f*gin was. He moved sharp. Unuscione stammered. f*gin hit him hard with more questions. He stammered some more and in his thick Eastern European action denied the best he could. The teacher made silent notes. Matt could hear the scribbling of the teacher's pen. His eyes narrowed. The bell rang like a blistering sonic bomb and Matt didn't move.
" Nice job, Murdock. " He heard f*gin say under the teacher as the students hurried out. Murdock continued to poke, however, until Alicia passed. He clutched her hand suddenly. He wrapped his fingers in hers and slipped the note in her pocket.

Alicia slipped her note into his pocket, smiling at the the irony. "So, I heard Foggy all the way over here...You'd think he'd learn that talking loudly is just as bad as passing notes..." Alicia squeezed his hand, letting him know she was ready to leave. "So, Murdock, after school you want to go out and get something to eat?" She smiled even though he couldn't see it, she felt the faint glimmer of her ability to sense other people's personality and essence kick in as she held Matt's hand, she smiled bigger, even with the flaws, and the little habits that annoyed her, he was a good man.

He could always tell when she smiled, because his body would automatically follow her smile with his. He traced his finger around her face, feeling the bump as her cheek rose up in a soft grin. He kissed the tip of her nose. " Eh. You're sweet. But I have crime class this afternoon. How about, I swing by your place a little later and me and you'll listen to that new audiobook you bought? How's that? ", he offered. " C'mon. I'm a lawyer and I tell you it's a good deal. "

"Gag me." Raven muttered, pushing past them. She didn't hate happy people, she just hated to watch them glory in it.
They said that everyone in the world had a...soulmate...yeah that was it. And whoopidy-doo for the blind kids, they found theirs.
Raven was just looking for someone that didn't automatically hate her because she was a bit of a malicious prankster and could do plenty with her ability.
She walked down the hall, avoiding the nasty glares of the other students.

"I'll, listen to your new Audio book? No option? You drive a very hard deal." Alicia teased, she walked along with him. "What book is it? Not another law one? I can't stand those...and it would have to be late, I have tons of homework to catch up on. I have a half finished sculpture for art, and it's due tomorrow, and then I have a paper on the life span of germs." Alicia groaned, she had to take certain classes, and she couldn't stand most of them, math and Science just went over her head for the most part. "So, eight-ish? With your book? I'll make popcorn..."

Kurt popped up beside Matt and Alica "How's things guys?" he had just finished a rather exciting history lesson and was on the way to his next class which was science another good class. It could be said Kurt liked school even if not many people wished to be his friend just because he was extremely and was an honours student in year ten, it was rather upsetting only having two or three friends. He had heard them discussing their plans for the afternoon he smiled an audio book he had used them while studying for an exam once and they worked a charm. He felt a wad of paper hit the back his head "Freak!" someone yelled, he didn't understand them he wasn't a freak and neither were Alica or Matt. He ignored the rude person and continued alongside his friends "So you vant to come around on ze veekend?" he didn't have any plans other then study for his acceleration he was on the verge of becoming the equivalent of a uni student.

Alicia laughed, "Kurt, do you ever slow down?" She sighed and reached out to find where he was in the group, so she wouldn't bump into him.
"I'm free this weekend, I convinced Matt to come with me to a concert, I'm sure there's room for one more?Saturday at five?" Alicia wasn't sure if that would be alright with Matt. But, she figured Kurt was one of their only friends, and he could join them, it wasn't like Matt really wanted to go in the first place.
"By the way Kurt, I hear you're almost top of your class. Congratulations! I wish I had that kind of smarts." Alicia smiled and started walking again, she did other classes to get to.
