Advanced Driver's Ed, Monday Period Two

Bond had *handwavily* informed his students to come and meet him in the Danger Shop, where he was waiting on a deserted stretch of road beside a sleek, gleaming car.

"Good morning, class," Bond began once the class had assembled. "My name is Professor Bond, and this is Advanced Driver's Education, I would hope you all have the basics of driving down, but given how often paperwork errors crop up if any of you do not actually know how to drive a car, please see my assistant Mr Reese," he nodded in Kyle's direction. "And he'll make arrangements to help you catch up. Normally this class would be where we have introductions but given the relatively small size of the class, and the fact I've taught all but two of you before, I believe we can forgo those and do something a bit more interesting."

He gestured to the car. "This is the Aston Martin DBS," Bond explained, pausing a moment to let them admire the car. He pressed a control and it began raining. "This is a road in the rain. Over the course of this class you will gain an intense appreciation for working breaks, and you will start by taking this car, driving as fast as you can, and then trying to stop without spinning off the road. With one of your fellow students a passenger. Thanks to the safety protocols, no harm will come to any of you in here, but if you attempt this out in the real world you will most likely die. Horribly."

He grinned and clapped his hands together. "So who wants to go first."

Hank slid behind the wheel and started poking at all the buttons. "Oh, boy! Does this thing have afterburners? Or an ejection seat?!"

"Not today, but you never know with Mr. Bond. Maybe next week?"

"Sweet! SPY CARS! Oh, man, Brock NEVER lets me touch his!"

"Who's Brock?" Yes, Kyle was, for some reason, getting in the car again. Seems he was everyone's driving buddy today.

"Brock's my pop's bodyguard. He's kind of awesome," Hank explained confidently.

If Kyle was getting in, then that meant it was time to drive, right? Hank started the engine and put his hands on the wheel. "Ten and two. Ten and two. You can do this, Hank. Ten and two, and ease it out."

The car lurched and stalled.

Well that was anti-climactic. "That's okay. Start it up again and put it into first."

Hank's second try ended as quickly as the first. The third try, however, was the charm, and as soon as Hank realized the car was moving forward, he grinned and sent it hurtling at top speed down the road.

Well, the top speed that the car would go at in first gear, anyway. Hank hadn't touched the gearshift and the tachometer was well into the red. "I'm driving!!!" he shouted ecstatically over the hideous noise the engine was making. "I'm a driver!!!"

Kyle began to cringe at the sound that the engine was making. "Have you ever driven stick before?" he asked over the grind of the engine.

"Would you believe only once?" Hank asked confidently. "I'm just a natural, huh?"

And, of course, that would be the point where the car skidded on the wet pavement, spun around, and left the road.

Kyle held on tighter than before and waited out the spin, wondering if the car was going to flip. If anyone could do it, it would be this guy. "Easy on the brake!"

"I am! I am!" Hank shouted, even though that was the exact opposite of what he was doing. "I'm easying on the brake as hard as I can!!!"

"I mean take your foot off the brake!"

"Are you MENTAL?!?! I'm trying to STOP!!!"

"You're making the car spin! Take your foot off the brake for a few seconds!"
