Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 13]

The Danger Shop was set up like an old cinema. There were 3D specs for everyone to wear to watch the film that was playing. The general premise was that a giant squid was attacking a small coastal town, similar to Mandibles but with more tentacles. The cinema employee may have been holographic, but the popcorn and drinks he was selling were from the real world.

Before the movie started, the Doctor's face appeared on the screen. He adjusted the camera and then stood back. "Hello! If you're watching this, I'm unable to make it to class. As your adult supervision for this hour, I'm obligated to provide you with something to do. The food and drinks aren't required, but I thought I'd be nice. Put your 3D glasses on and watch the movie. Come ready next week with five facts about giant squids. And since it will be your exam," he added with one of those annoying smiles that suggested he was hiding something, "wear sensible shoes."

Cara took advantage of the opportunity to shift to a closer seat. "You missed some," she said quietly, reaching up to play with his hair.

Clearly she was not planning anything untoward.

Of course not! Cara was a sweet girl and knew exactly how to make Clark smile and pause, keeping the popcorn in his hand because she was touching him.

"Enjoying the movie?" Cara's grin broadened as she lightly trailed her fingertips down to the back of his neck, because nefarious intent or no, she liked getting that reaction. Far more than she sometimes thought she should.

Multitasking, it's an awesome skill.

Clark looked at Cara through his excessively geeky glasses and his smile brightened with the use of her skills. "It's not bad. I probably shouldn't be rooting for the squid."

"So far it's only killed the extraordinarily stupid," Cara pointed out, idly tracing patterns against his skin. "Let's go swimming in the monster infested water. That can't possibly go wrong."

In other words, she was currently Team Squid.

"Hey now, sometimes people are wrong when they claim the water's infested," Clark pointed out jokingly. It was always a bad idea. This was how he ended up in so many of the situations he ended up in.

"So you're saying you'd go in the water?" She might, but that's because she'd be trying to kill the monster.

"To be there and stop the people from getting hurt, sure," he shrugged, wanting more of that hair touching, thanks.

"And who's going to keep you from getting hurt in the process?" Because which of them here was invulnerable, again?

By now the hair touching had graduated to flown-blown stroking. It was almost a pity she didn't know about the fine tradition of necking at the movies.

"You're obsessed with thinking I could ever be hurt," Clark said, laughing a little, and thinking quite a lot about the potential for necking when there was no teacher in the room.

It wasn't like the TA was overly worried about improper behaviour either.

"There's a difference between obsession and concern." It didn't help that certain other people who acted like they were invulnerable had a tendency to actually end up dead. Multiple times. Richard.

"Yeah, well, I think I could take a squid," Clark teased. Because again with the bullets barely bruising his skin at point blank range.

"And after you were done fighting the seafood?" Cara teased back.

"I'd run to wherever you were." As fast as he could.

And Cara was not thrown by that answer at all, especially since it was the kind of thing Richard or Kahlan would say to each other while she rolled her eyes in the background. "You're assuming I wouldn't be fighting the squid too."

"I didn't say where you'd be," Clark pointed out, being smart for once. "Just that I'd go there." She was the one with her hand in his hair.

Cara went to rest her chin on his shoulder, more or less abandoning any pretence of paying attention to the movie. "You wouldn't have to go particularly far."

By her standards that was an unbearably mushy admission.

Clark could drop the popcorn in his hand on the floor to try and sneak an arm around her for that. "Guess it doesn't matter I'm willing."

Cara didn't exactly snuggle closer, but she did relax slightly. "It's appreciated."

It was best not to think about how nice it was to be in class like this. "You should've taken film class with me this semester. I think you'd have liked it."

Nice enough that Cara was willing to postpone her brilliant revenge plan for the moment. "You do?" she asked, not so much disagreeing as curious.

"Lots of time in the theater like this," Clark said with a nod. "Minus the dorky glasses."

"Whatever would we without the dorky glasses?" Cara teased, taking the mention as a free invitation to reach up with her free hand to fiddle with his.

"Not look like dorks." Not that this was possible for the farmboy.

Given that Clark was treated to that rarest of sights, a giggling Mord'Sith, it was doubtful Cara agreed with him there.
