"Good morning," said V, folding his hands behind his back as students filed in. "Today is a class to which I have been looking forward for some time. Every crimefighter needs to know, specifically, what tools are at their disposal."

He rounded on the class. "Do any of you have a specific weapon you prefer? Or do you rely on wits, or your own strength? Couple this with the clothing you designed some time back. Do they coordinate? What is the reasoning behind each tool?"

He began to pace. "Furthermore, there are the tools used not in battle, but planning. Books. Maps. Technology, I suppose. What do you use to track a criminal, to succeed in the least amount of time?"

He paused, and quirked his head at the class. "This, dear class, is the lead into your final project, which will be worked upon for the remainder of the term. Please pair up. Don't automatically choose your best friend. This person will be your ally for the rest of the semester. They will be your partner, your backup - your other half, as far as this class is concerned. Today your goal is to take your various tools and resources, and see where you are lacking and where you are overdone. What can each of you bring to the partnership, and where do you need to improve?"

He clasped his hands in front of himself. "Simply form an alliance with another person in class, and bring your thoughts on crime-solving together. All right?"

"Neither am I," Aeryn frowns. "I wouldn't be very good at grading papers."

"Huh?" Peter asked. "What does being a sidekick have to do with grading papers?"

"That's what Rory did," she explains.

"Okay," Peter said. "In terms of heroing, sidekicks don't actually do that."

"What do they do?" Aeryn wonders.

"Do demeaning tasks while the main superhero gets all the glory," Peter said. "And they usually get worse costumes and names."

"I'm not doing that," she says quickly.

"No sidekicks in this partnership. Good," Peter said. "I can live with that."

"Good. So what tools would you normally use?" she asks.

"It's a combination of wits and strength usually, plus my webshooters," Peter said. "And about anything else I can get my hands on. I'm resourceful."

"Good," she says. "I have several different kinds of weapons. I think we're covered there."

"How about the planning thing?" Peter asked. "How would you go about finding a criminal quickly?"

"Find out where the target would most likely be, scout the area, find him, shoot him."

"Well, it sounds thorough," Petern said. "If you don't mind me asking, how would you find out where the target would be? In general."

"Depends on how well I know them, or about them. If there's anyone to talk to, they can be very good at giving information," she says.
