fandomhigh | How to Be Awesome: Period 1, Week 7

Barney was dressed in his nicest all-black suit ensemble, ~~it was his Vader suit~~. He addressed his class, assembled in the darkened Danger Shop for the last time.
"During this Legendary workshop session you have learned How to Be Awesome. You have suited up, you have learned the art of the pickup line, you have learned to role play, you learned the gentle art of the Lemon Law." Barney paused to look pointedly at Zack before saying, "You learned how to create an online portfolio, you learned to distinguish between awesome and not awesome celebrities, and finally, you learned how to gamble."

"Today is the culmination of your studies in Awesome. Today we will learn if you are a man, a lesbian, or a loser," again with the looking at Zack. He wasn't still bitter, not at all. "Today we will play laser tag. Here is a list of the teams." Barney motioned to Andrew who passed around papers listing this:

Team 1: Awesome in Action	Team 2: The Likely Losers
Adam	A.J.
Andrew	Carmela
Andros	Irulan
Cedric	Isabel
Dick	Jude
Jim	Kou
Johnny	Lucas
Michelangelo	Zack
Mel	Willow
Wyatt	Dropouts

"I am what we in the field call a Lone Wolf. I am a master of all laser tag strategies. Please try to catch me off guard, I dare you!" Barney laughed loudly and dramatically. "Now, the rules are that there are no rules, just equipment and your knowledge of awesomeness. Now, get out of those suit jackets and prepare to be destroyed!"

[ooc: Up early because I plan to be awake a long time. Andrew modded with permission. ~~Please wait for~~ OCD is up! Also, feel free to disregard the team aspect and make it a free for all as you wish. OMG, you were an awesome class! I hope you had as much fun as I did!]

"I'm Awesome in Action," Wyatt declared. "We shall be victorious!"

Then he noticed that Isabel's eyes seemed a little red and swollen. "Hey, you okay?" he said. "Allergies bugging you or something?"

"Please, I'm never going to be able to hear that word without twitching."

Isabel made a face and shook her head. "Sadly no. This is leftover effects from my visit with Umbridge yesterday. She didn't like what I had to say."

Wyatt frowned. "She got you, too?" he said. "I wish she was a demon so I could try to make a vanquish potion or a spell to get rid of her." He took a closer look at Isabel's eyes. "Want me to try to heal you?" he asked.

"I made the mistake of answering her summons," she admitted. "But I just wanted to see her. She's really screwed up."

"If you can? I'll love you forever. It's annoying as hell even though it's better then it was yesterday."

"Somebody has to do something about her," Wyatt grumbled. He took another look at Isabel's eyes, then set his laser gun aside and held out his hands on either side of her face. "Just relax," he said, concentrating on healing her eyes. Golden light swept from his fingers, bathing Isabel's face.

"I think there's something in the works," Isabel replied, remembering her conversation with Xander. "Hopefully soon."

She's had enough experience with Max and healing that she could relax easily enough. "The light's different, but better then random memory flashes." Within a moment or two, her eyes felt fine.

"There, how's that feel?" Wyatt said, inspecting his work. "Your eyes look much better. I'm getting good at this."

"It feels a hundred percent better. Thank you," she smiled. "Although I wonder about you're getting good at this. Was there a chance I was going to wind up worse off?"

"You're welcome." Wyatt grinned. "I don't think I could hurt you at all that way. I'm just learning how to focus and make it work when I want it to. The first time I healed someone it was by accident when Anders broke his leg. But it comes with being a Whitelighter, so I know I'll get better at it."

"I didn't think so," Isabel chuckled. "But it's great that you're learning. Fandom's a good place for that. I know I've gotten better at what I can do since I've been here. It is a matter of focus."

"Think you could teach me any tricks?" Wyatt asked. Why no, he wasn't being flirtatious at all. Why yes, his gun was still sitting off to the side.

"It depends on what kind of tricks you're looking for," she replied, possibly a bit flirtatiously herself. Isabel's gun was in her hand, and it beeped as her vest reset, meaning she was armed and dangerous.

Too bad Flirt With Pretty Girl had a higher priority than noticing any imminent danger. "Well, how to focus my abilities," he said. "I want to be able to make people feel good with these hands."

"Oh, well in that case," Isabel said, stepping a bit closer and smiling. "The trick is to think about your hands, and where you want them to be or what you want them to do."

Wyatt's grin widened. "I can do that," he said. "I know where I'd like them to be."

"Like maybe on your gun?" she laughed as she raised her own gun and fired.

Wyatt's vest beeped and registered the hit. "Hey!" he said, making his best pouty face at her. "Is that any way to repay me for healing your eyes?"

"No, probably not. That would involve food of some sort," Isabel admitted. "Can I buy you lunch one day?"

Wyatt's smile returned. "You could do that, yeah," he said.

"Well then pick a day, my schedule is pretty much open," she smiled. "Especially now that workshops are done."

"Monday or Tuesday?" Wyatt said. "I'm pretty free, too. I'm working at the clinic Tuesday nights now, but that's about it."

"How about Monday at Ching Tai?" Isabel suggested. "Meet me at my room and we can walk down together."

"Sure," Wyatt said. He casually reached over to pick up his gun. "Just leave that behind, okay?" he said, smiling as he nodded at Isabel's own gun.

"Sure. I'm dangerous enough on my own," Isabel promised with a grin. "Anything else is just overkill."

"I like dangerous girls," Wyatt said. "Makes life more interesting."
