Yes, I know that's not what the phrase is, and Julian probably does to, but he's in the middle of something and has to make metaphors and strategise at the same time.
(I mean, I guess. It's always a little vague what these narrative boxes are. They're nominally internal monologue, but they're often conversational and peppered with directed cues - "you know," "I mean," etc - that make it seem like they're talking to somebody. I blame TV for infecting our medium with narrative devices like the post-battle interview or the Wonder Years style retrospective voiceover. Or maybe it's all The Punisher's fault.)
Yes I stole the title from Family Guy, what of it.
Welcome to Special School.
This is the tale of a government-sanctioned class for super-powered humans, offered as part of the curriculum in a small-town university in upstate New York. The university gets extra funding, the students get course credit and special powers training, the government gets a well-trained, civic-minded generation of super-powered humans with some measure of debt and/or gratitude toward them; everybody's happy. At least, in theory.
