Classrooms Around Campus, All Day Saturday

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

It was Saturday, and that meant Career Day! Unbeknownst to all the students who had taken the career placement test, Fandom had apparently conspired to place them all in workshops that didn't quite fit the answers they gave for their tests. The island was tricky that way. Not to mention that the workshops that the island had planned were somewhat different from the workshops an ordinary school might offer on Career Day. As in quite a lot different.

So the classrooms all around the school were filled with visitors from off-island and island alike, all of whom had been led to believe that they would be teaching eager-minded groups of students, excited to learn about their prospective careers. This assumption was not necessarily accurate.

"Sure," Taskmaster said, crossing his arms. "That's what they all say. Then someone gets bumped off, and suddenly you've got replacements coming out the ears."

Momoko crossed her own arms back so there. "I don't see how, since there's no more white light to give anyone else any powers so there's only the three of us Powerpuff GirlZ in My. Whole. World."

...

"Unless you go back in time." And technically, they were the chaki-chaki girls.

He gave her a pitying look.

Which was also probably not that visible through the mask, but eh.

"Kid, take this as some friendly advice," Taskmaster said, "But people always find other ways to breed more metas. There's a whole lot of other stuff you've got beyond 'white light', whatever that is. So I suggest you watch your back. Maybe consider striking out on your own. Pay's better."

Ah. "I'm learning to do stuff on my own, but I'm totally better when I have at least a partner. Someone who can watch my back for me since I still tend to forget; I didn't have to for so long."

"Shouldn't have kids like you running around doing this job anyway," Taskmaster said, with vague disapproval. "It's dangerous and it can really mess you up."

With guys like him and Hayden, it was different.

"Then how do you get any new mercenaries? It sounds like you have to be really really good and you can't be really really good if you start working at it as an adult."

Taskmaster snorted. "People manage fine, if they're badass enough," he said. "I've trained plenty of guys who did fine." Until they died, but whatever. They were adult guys.

"If you've been doing it since you were thirteen, though, isn't that better? Or at least doing stuff like it."
