fandomhigh | Handling Your Powers, Tuesday

Students entering the Danger Shop today were going to find a very large kitchen instead of the usual gym set-up. And there was Kaidan, holding on to a pan and grinning at them. "Look, not everything I learned at brain camp was terrible," he said. "Some things turned out to be pretty useful."

He held up the pan. "Like cooking."

He put it down on one of the stoves.

"So today, we're going to make some actual food. With a challenge. I want each of you to try and come up with a way in which your powers could make the process easier - without destroying anything in the process." Beat. "Though it won't hurt if you do wreck something here. It's the Danger Shop and all the safeties are on. Though that's not a license to start throwing fireballs."

He pointed at the various stations. "We've got frying steak, boiling vegetables, baking a pie and making soup," he said. "There's also materials to make meatballs if that's more your speed. I want you to pick one that calls to you and go for it. Poke around. Experiment a little. See what you can manage with your powers."

He leaned back, smiling. "And as a reward, at the end of it, you get to eat the food. So, uh... don't blow it. Ask me if you've got any questions."

Pick a station. Then go for it.

Heat up some oil. Wait until it's bubbling, then toss in the steak. Turn it over periodically. Don't let it get black.

Good luck.

Or there's the station that's got tomatoes, some stock, and various noodles and vegetables for people to choose from. Make soup!

This was simple enough -- Celia already used her powers for most mundane things. The vegetables seemed the easiest for an amateur cook, though -- she stood back from the prep station, trained her eyes on a knife, and methodically chopped vegetables with her hands trained in front of her, controlling the knife with her mind.

Now, if only she had the patience to actually learn to cook, that'd be something.

Hot water. Beans. Salt. This isn't rocket science, people.

Will wasn't a cook. At all. His idea of cooking was ordering pizza so he went for the easiest looking station. He just didn't want to set anyone on fire or burn the school down.

He could boil some beans. No problem.

For the intermediate students, there's a recipe for apple pie, a bunch of ingredients, and an oven. Try not to set it on fire.

...or stand quietly to the side and mix ingredients for meatballs for the soup while staying away from the fire.
