Handling Your Powers, Tuesday
Did the Danger Shop look an awful lot like a classic gym hall? ...Yes, yes it did. Okay, Kaidan didn't look like your typical gym teacher in his Alliance blues, but he was holding a ball in one hand.
"We're playing powers dodgeball today," he said. "You're all allowed to use your powers on the ball - not on each other. Danger Shop safeties are at their maximum, so the ball's not going to injure anybody and the room should step in if it looks like you're going to hurt each other, but... be careful either way. Okay? Okay."
He told the kids to line up, then divided them into two teams.
"For anyone who doesn't know this one yet - if you get struck by this ball, you're out of the game. The first team to knock their opponents out of the game entirely wins. It's that easy. Using your powers to hit the ball is allowed. So is dodging the ball using your powers. Just no injuries, okay?"
He threw one of them the ball. "Get started."
And with that, he was going to back up and make sure the protocols that would throw up a shield on any student who might be in danger of getting hit by someone's power... still worked. (They did. Thankfully.)

Absolutely nothing, Celia. Welcome to elementary school gym class.

The benefits of being a living spaghetti noodle.
Re: Team 2
She wasn't worried about getting hit, exactly, so much as -- well, when she was in pain or experienced anything strongly, she didn't know what would happen to the people around her, usually. Better not to take the chance.
Re: Team 2
If nothing else, he'd be in the way to take the hits, most of the time.
