Hawkeye had contacted all of the students this week to let them know to meet him in his office. There were sandwiches and cold drinks on the desk and everyone had a chair to sit on. "Eat! Drink! I promise it's not cafeteria food. Not every week is going to be like last week. Unfortunately, history says that some weeks will be like last week. Sometimes they'll even be like this week with the visitors some people have walking around. You're more likely to find yourself having to put your friends back together than most high school students, and I'm sorry to say that you a proportionally high number of the students here have had to deal with losing someone they love. Personally, I hope you never have to use anything you learn in this class, but in case you do, let's make sure we cover topics you want to learn. Talk to me. Talk to each other. The syllabus is as flexible as a gymnast made of dough. That's pretty flexible."

"Gunshot wounds, definitely. Broken bones. Knife wounds..." Bruce said. He felt for a moment like he needed to give some kind of an explanation. "My hometown is a rough place."

"Sounds like a place I used to live for a few years." Only his was a legitimate war zone, not a war zone masquerading as a city. "We'll cover as many violent things as I can cram in. If at the end of it, I haven't covered something to your satisfaction, tell me. There's only so much we can fit into a few weeks."
