Defying Death, Friday, First Period
When the students walked into the Danger Shop today, they would find themselves in a surprisingly quiet cargo plane in the middle of a flight.
"Hi, everyone," Dick said. He was wearing a skydiving suit and had a parachute on his back. "Welcome to Defying Death: How to Be a Daredevil. A couple of you know me already, but for the rest of you, I'm Dick Grayson. I grew up as a circus acrobat and, understandably, that got me into doing crazy stunts at a young age. I haven't been able to get away from those crazy things since."
"Just so we're clear, doing any of the things we're going to do in this class is really dangerous. Even if you do everything right while jumping out of a plane, you're still jumping out of a plane. But modern skydiving technology will keep you as safe as possible and as an added bonus, the Danger Shop is programmed not to kill you. So you can make this jump as safely as possible."
Dick went into the specifics on how to jump, when to pull the cord, how to steer the parachute, and so on.
"So, from here we just have three things to do. First, get your skydiving suits and parachutes on. Second, tell everyone who you are and something interesting about you. And third, jump! I'll be right behind the group once I make sure everyone's gone. If you don't think you can do it... Well, you're in the wrong class. But I'm sure we can work something out."
Which meant he might push them out. Look, it was safe! Because of the Danger Shop.

Listen to the Lecture

Re: Listen to the Lecture
Because it wasn't at all like this scenario would be twigging memories of the last time she'd jumped out of a plane, strictly in defiance of orders and into a situation where her boss had ended up temporarily blinded (even though she'd saved his life in the process, thank you very much) and furious enough with her that he'd nearly fired her.
Why would it be?
Nope. Just nervous. Really.
Re: Listen to the Lecture
She's jumped off a plane before, so that has nothing to do with the look on her face and everything to do with the speed of being comfortably in Mahora one second to suddenly finding herself in Fandom, enrolled for the summer.
