fandomhigh | Fandom High Lacrosse Club, The Danger Shop, Tuesday After Classes

The Danger Shop was once again a lacrosse field, with empty stands on both sides. And Jackson was standing in the middle of it, in full lacrosse gear. Except for the helmet, which he was holding by his side. There was also a bunch of gear in a pile behind him.

Once it looked like everyone had shown up who was going to, he started to talk. "On the off chance that you don't know, I'm Jackson Whittemore, former captain of the Beacon Hills High lacrosse team which is currently heading for another state championship." And he was proud of that, even if he didn't really play for them anymore. "And this is the Fandom High Lacrosse Club." A slightly less proud moment for him, but whatever. "We're gonna start easy. Most of you know each other, but we'll still have a round of introductions. State your name, your year, and your level of familiarity with the great sport that is lacrosse. Or if you were already here last year, something you learned about lacrosse in the fall."

Simple, right? He nodded back towards the sticks and the balls behind him. "Afterwards, we'll keep it easy and you can just get warmed up by practicing passes. But first, introductions." He pointed at a random club member. "You. Start."

[Again, didn't sign up? No problem. Either handwave or just show up randomly! This is the one time in all of creation where Jackson just accepts people into his life.]

Wonder how much Jackson's going to mess up Danger Shop settings this term...

"State your name, your year, and your level of familiarity with the great sport that is lacrosse. Or if you were already here last year, something you learned about lacrosse in the fall."

And listen to Jackson barking orders when you get it wrong.

He's actually looking at home here. And smug. It's the same thing.

Roped in to oversee sports for another term, what a hardship.

Luuuuunch.

If last semester was any indication, Korra was going to guess 'a lot'.

"Korra, junior, I started last semester, and I've learnt that lacrosse players tend to be grumpy."

No, Korra, that was just Jackson.

Jackson didn't look too taken with this answer. (You could have even said he looked a little bit grumpy! Yes.)

"I have no idea what you're talking about." NO IDEA. "Is that all?"

Korra grinned. Innocently. "And I picked up how to play the game, it's less complicated than Pro-Bending."

Of course she'd had to pick up more than a few of the rules of that while playing.

"Ace! Junior. Here last year." Things she'd learned. Um. "Never pass to Greenberg?"

Kate hadn't played a team sport (superheroing didn't actually count) for a few years. This should be interesting.

"Kate Bishop, junior," she said. "And I've seen lacrosse played before."

Sure, she could try this. Kate picked up a stick and a ball to try that 'bouncing the ball in the pocket' thing lacrosse players seemed to do.

This post is making me wish for summer and family lacrosse games where my 10 year old cousin completely destroys me!

"I'm Stiles, and I'm a junior," Stiles said. "And last fall I learned that lacrosse teams really benefit from having co-captains. We should give Scott a call."

Stiles, don't taunt the evil lizard boy.

Wow, this girl did look like Allison. Not that he thought Jackson would lie to him in this instance. Jackson was a little more creative than that.

"Um hi." Congrats, Stiles, you have mastered the art of greeting. "Want to practice with me?"

"Hi," Kate replied, deciding to pass on the 'um.' "If you don't mind me being terrible, I'm up for it."

"Don't worry about it, I'm kind of terrible myself," Stiles said. "And I've been playing for years so that's slightly more pathetic."

Mercy was here. Must be a glutton for punishment.

"Mercy, junior, and I was here last time. Um... you should make sure you're alert on the field so you're ready for anything."

"If you say so."

Jackson wasn't going to believe Pro-Bending was superior to lacrosse in any way until he actually saw it played. At which point he was probably going to cry over never being able to play it.

Jackson was going to allow that.

"Less of a problem here ––" Except when/if he programmed Greenberg into the simulations. "–– but sure."

"It's a start." Jackson had learned he couldn't be too picky with his players here a while ago. She'd seen it played, and she knew field hockey. She was good to go. "Welcome to the team, Kate."

For a given value of 'team'.

Jackson was rolling his eyes so hard at that. "Funny," he said, with the exact opposite meaning. "But if you'd like to swap places with him, at least we'd have someone with something to show for his years of coming to practice."

Even if it was through being a cheater of a werewolf.
