fandomhigh | 15 Ways to Protect Yourself and Others

Aly had gotten back to the Island just in time for her first class. Which was why she still had her bags stashed in the corner of the classroom as she sat on the desk, waiting for her class to come in.

"Morning all," she said, grinning, once everyone had come in the room. "Good to see you all survived your week of no classes. I'm sure it was difficult. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Alianne. Call me Aly if you like, everyone does; call me Miss Aly though and I'll have to retaliate in some messy method. This class is 15 Ways to Protect Yourself and Others which means I'm going to assume you all have some minor interest in the subject. If not, feel free to head out and find a different class to be bored in."

"This isn't going to be an all combat all the time class. I prefer to avoid fighting if at all possible so much of what we talk about is going to be ways around it. Which isn't to say that we're not going to do a bit of fighting techniques and even possibly work with some explosives." Aly grinned more broadly and glanced around to pick out the students in her workshops over the summer. "What I'm hoping to to give you all a variety of ideas and ways you can approach a situation in order to get the best possible outcome for you and for others."

"So, to that end, I'd like to get to know those of you I haven't met before and get to know the rest of you all a bit better. So let's go ahead and everyone introduce themselves, tell two things that they're good at and one thing they're hoping to learn in this class. I'll start with saying that I'm rather good at making things explode and playing pranks. And I'm hoping to learn what skills all of you already have." She smirked. "Which is a total cheat, I realise, but that's what you get to do when you're the teacher."

Dean nodded. "They knew I had got stuck in the portal and they knew that most of the other people who had came back three years later so they knew they were going to get me back. Just... three years, y'know?"

"Yeah," Claire agreed, nothing but sympathy. "I know."

"But I've been back for a year and a half now and things are good," Dean said, obviously trying to shake off the depressing stuff. "Better than good -- new home, new friends, new sister. And I'm still older than Sammy so while things are weird sometimes, they could've been a lot weirder."

"Things can always be weirder," Claire agreed with a huge grin.

"That really should be the motto of the school."

"Or my life."

"We may have to compare weirdness sometime."

Claire placed her pen down on the desk for no reason other than to make a dramatic pause.

"Oh I'd be happy to let you win that one."

Tilting her head, she gave him a sideways look. "And let's not compare in class anyway."

Dean chuckled. "Yeah, probably not the best place for that kind of conversation." He gave her his most charming smile. "But I'm willing to compare whatever you want some other time in some other setting."

She turned to him fully, giving him an appraising look. He was Sam's brother, and Peter trusted Sam for a reason.

(The charming smile probably helped as well.)

"Sure," she says, smiling and turning back to her notes. "We could do that."
