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."

When Mr. Bond referred everyone to him for basic driving lessons, Kyle gave everyone a nod and a small wave to identify himself. He figured if anyone needed to catch-up, he could bring them up to speed pretty fast.

"If anyone wants to take a chance with me behind the wheel, I'll return the favor." With that, he opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

No one had ever let Nico drive before, but he could not have been more excited for this class and for Professor Bond letting him maybe crash a really hot car.

Nico was as close to bouncing as a son of Hades could get.

Bod was suddenly grateful he'd taken a few lessons in driving while he'd been back in England. It had seemed the intelligent thing to do even if he'd been rather bad at it for awhile.

So, with the knowledge that he at least had the basics (he'd read the driver's education book three times), he admired the car and listened to Professor Bond speak.

Following his TAly duties, Kyle hung around after the class was done. "If anyone does need to learn the basics, I'm free for most of the week. I'm in room 511 if you want to come by later if you change your mind."

"I'll take the chance," Bod decided, sliding into the passenger seat next to Kyle. He'd taken riskier chances in his opinion so there was no hesitation about riding with Kyle. "And I'll return the favor as well."

"Let's hope," Kyle said as he turned the key and started the car, "that the brakes work and this isn't one of Mr. Bond's life lessons." He didn't give Bod much of a chance to back out since he put it into gear and slammed his foot down on the accelerator.

Bod would have answered if he hadn't been pushed back into his seat and grabbing at the door just to keep himself steady. He sent a glance at Kyle, checking to make sure the other boy knew what he was doing before swinging his eyes back to the road.

"While I always appreciate life lessons," he said after he'd gotten his heart settled down, "I think I agree with you. Hopefully Professor Bond wouldn't teach a life lesson on the first day of class."

Hopefully!

"You're probably right," Kyle said as they picked up speed. Driving in a straight line was the easy part of driving. "He'll save that for next week after we're settled and not expecting it."

"I wonder if he'd feel offended if I checked the brakes before every class," he said, settling more comfortably back in the seat so sudden jerks or turns wouldn't toss him around too much. "Sign of distrust?"

Kyle shook his head. "Sign of caution. Mr. Bond's a cautious guy." He just tried to hide it. "You ready to brake?"

"I am," Bod said, nodding and watching the road to see how the car reacted to the sudden braking. "Whenever you are."

He slammed his foot down on the brake. The car surprised him by not stalling. He did have to hold on tightly to the wheel to keep them steady since this patch of road was slippery from the rain and the back end wanted to slide. It took way longer than Kyle expected for them to come to a halt. "I didn't think it was going to stop."

"It did seem like it went on for a rather long time," Bod returned after he'd gotten his voice back. It had been exhilarating in a way and his adrenaline was definitely flowing.

"You handled yourself well," he added after another moment. "I think we would have ended up backwards and upside down had it been me."

Bod chuckled and sat up some, shaking his head. "I know how to drive but I'm not incredibly skilled. I learned from various strangers here and there while traveling. A lot of it was self taught as well."
