That trip to the store was kind of a bust. No Darkwing Duck. No Doom Patrol. No new copy of the Suicide Squad trade. I did buy some Suicide Squad back issue Jack had, from when they started their plain clothes, freelance period. Which is why it was only kind of a bust.
Avengers Academy #9 - The rest of the teachers convince Tigra that expelling the students who attacked the Hood last issue is not productive. They also must have convinced her that quitting wouldn't be productive, either, because she stuck around after an earlier statement that either the kids were gone or she was. The offending students, well Hazmat and Striker, made a decent attempt at pretending they didn't really care whether they could stay or not, whatever. That felt accurate.
The other plot involves Finesse (with help from Quicksilver, though he quickly loses interest) tracking down Taskmaster, because she wants to learn whether he's her father. There's a fight between the two, which seems to convince Taskmaster she's probably his kid, but there won't be a paternity test anytime soon. If she develops his memory problems that'll probably be the clincher. I'm mostly curious to see if Taskmaster's comment that there's nothing unique or memorable about Finesse will have any effect on her, and if it does, how she'll choose to deal with it. There was also his comment about how sweet a deal her being at the Academy was (which I guess he sees as being similar to his time with the Initiative), and who knows how she'll take that. She's already extorting Pietro, so using people for her own benefit isn't something she has any qualms over.
