Unconventional Tactics, Tuesday, Period 2
"You ain't gonna win 'em all." Nope, there wasn't even a 'Yo, Rookies!' today as Reno made his way into the Danger Shop, only a couple of minutes late. There had been an important stop for coffee this morning, which he was now pausing to take a mouthful of as he settled in. Suck it up, kids. "You ain't. And, much as you all wanna think otherwise, you ain't all gonna be able to survive everything that life throws at you without a few bumps an' nicks along the way, yo."
This was Reno-ese for 'people get their idiot butts killed out there all the time.'
"I know, you all been spoiled by Fandom's practically nonexistent mortality rate. An' maybe you figure you're all invincible or some shit as a result, an' you can handle anything that you go up against. But news flash, kiddos: You ain't. And you can't. I don't care how strong you are. I don't care what superhuman abilities you got. Someday, you won't be able to out-run, out-think, or out-fight whatever it is that's comin' down on top of us. Someday, you will be thrust so friggin' hard on your ass that you will consider yourself lucky if someone shows up like a knight in shinin' armor to haul your sorry self outta there."
He smirked. He shrugged.
"So, we're gonna have a bit of a team-buildin' exercise, yo. Bit of a go against the Danger Shop, here. And I want you to all try an' tackle it without powers, to try an' keep things on an even playing field. You're each gonna break off into pairs. One of you's gonna play injured and pretty much useless, and you gotta get your ass rescued, yo. It's up to your partner to drag you outta harm's way." He nodded, and the Danger Shop flickered. And suddenly, everyone was standing on one end of a very shoddy looking suspension bridge. "Across this, zoto."
Really, he didn't even need to toss in enemy fire for this exercise. You guys would have an interesting enough time of this activity as it is.

Re: Activity!
She started running a little. Raven began...bouncing. She could feel the motion on the back of her head and neck. "You okay?" she asked, trying not to sound strangled.
Re: Activity!
"I am all right," Raven said, squirming just a little bit. "Are you?"
Re: Activity!
On the plus side? Karla was barely even noticing the bridge anymore.
Re: Activity!
Re: Activity!
Because tightening her grip was the no different than leaping around on Karla's back. Riiiight.
Re: Activity!
"I will do my best to remain still," Raven promised. Though it was so hard not to squirm with the bouncing up and down against Karla's back.
