With Marvel redeeming themselves on a lot of fronts last week, I don't know how this was missed.
The Runaways pay a visit to the Avenger's Academy in order to bring back Old Lace, who was last seen in another dimension/time, sent away to heal (see last issue).

I found it to be another pleasant surprise.



... understanding and tolerance.


The Academy teachers don't want to force the Runaways to do anything they don't want to, but there is the issue of the two pre-teens who are part of the group, who anyone in their right mind would know that they are too young for this kind of life.

So a fight breaks out in the prehistoric past, as to who should raise Molly and Klara of the Runaways.


Needless to say, the youth ally with each other against the Pym and Tigra, and they decide to talk about their differences rather than beat each other's brains in.

And since talking isn't getting the job done, we come to magic.

An understanding/"walk in our shoes"/shared experiences spell gives everyone access to their different experiences and perspectives. The Academy teachers grant the girls permission to stay with the Runaways, with a few caveats (concerning the girls education and what not).


So the teams part ways, and we see love blossom for two members of the teams.


Awwwww.... feel the love.

Chase is just asking for trouble, isn't he?

I've never been big on rebellion for rebellions sake and as a teenager I felt extremely vulnerable so the Runaways case doesn't really appeal to me. And when they rejected a teaching robot, because it could spy on them? So what. It means they'd have backup if they did something stupid.

The Runaway's case has always been sketchy at best.

A teaching robot that was built by Hank Pym.

They know how dangerous Pymbot AIs can be.

I didn't consider it might actually be given a personality

Pym wanted to give the systems of the shrunken satellite base that the Secret Avengers operate in it's own AI. He just likes making robots. Beast stopped him that time.

Besides how good can a teaching robot be if it can't adapt it's personality and teaching style to its students?
