fandomhigh | Combat- Tuesday- 2nd period- Class #13

At thirty-two, Jaina had participated in four wars, had ended a fifteen-year military career as a colonel leading the same squadron she'd first started out in, had led multiple squadrons that she'd had to break down and build up again, led weeks-long ground campaigns, had killed a Sith lord and was basically a Master level fighter. Teaching a class on combat was pretty far beneath her if we're being honest.

At sixteen, Jaina had only just, had battle experience that mostly consisted of "Uh oh, we're in trouble again, I hope this plan I just came up with right this second works," and only knew she was supposed to be here because it was on the calendar in her phone. Because of course the first thing Jaina did after she woke up in a strange apartment was to find the nearest gadget and find out what she could from it.

But being Jaina, she wasn't going to show that she had no idea what she was doing, especially when she thought this was all probably a Fandom thing, and tried to look cool about this. "Hi," she said, when everyone'd gotten to the Danger Shop. Because you better believe she'd figured that out already, too, and had jumped at the chance to use it. "Apparently I'm supposed to be here teaching Combat. I don't have any details on what I'm supposed to teach you-" And from now on adult Jaina would be giving herself more detailed notes just in case. "-so how about you find the thing you think you're best at and show me what you've got."

Look, you wake up and find out you had to deal with a class, okay?

"I don't look like him?" Cade asked.

Yes, he's going to be like that.

"I'm telling him you're doing this. It sounds a lot like getting throttled might be a hobby of yours," Jaina said dryly.

"Oh, he can't hurt me," Cade said with a laugh.

The deathsticks saw to that.

"He doesn't even know me."

Well, hers wouldn't, at least.

"Then how do you know him?"

...Maybe this was a Tiger! thing.

"Oh, everyone knows about Luke Skywalker," Cade said.

"And what do they know?" Jaina asked, folding her arms.

"That he's a spit-shined never-does-wrong meddlesome Jedi Master who the whole galaxy should just throw parades for constantly," Cade said, rolling his eyes.

Jaina paused.

"Sooo you don't know him from school," she said, frowning. "No one throws him parades, you know. And he's not meddlesome."

Well, Jaina hadn't dealt with it yet, anyway.

Cade snorted. "Now I have to ask if you know him."

"He's my uncle. Yeah, I know him." And that made her right, so there.

"Oh, like being family stops him from being a pain?" Cade replied.

"No, him not being a pain stops him from being a pain," Jaina countered.

"I've heard different," Cade said.

"Well, from someone who actually knows him, you're wrong," Jaina shrugged.

Cade was pretty sure he wasn't.

"Well, you're the teacher," Cade said.

"Apparently." Which was still weird.

"How young are you now anyway?" Cade asked.

"Sixteen," she replied, half expecting him to tell her that made her too young to know better or something.

"E chuta," Cade said, running a hand through his hair. "I'm older than you."

"So are a lot of people," she said.

"Yeah, but you're supposed to be way, way older than me."

"Shut up." Jaina, don't tell your students to shut up. "How old is way, way older?"

"Hundred years or so," Cade said.

"I'm giving you detention."

No she wasn't.

"Finally."

Shhh, Cade was worried he was going soft.
