Public Service - On the Edge, Monday, Period 2

"So, I'm bettin' a few of you had pretty memorable weekends," Reno said, nodding at his students from the Fandom side of the portal. "I wish that meant I could just let you loose in a room full of goddamn puppies, but we got work to do, yo. See, I got this shipment of building supplies in for us, enough for both sites, and they're heavy as hell, between the pipes and the water tanks and the digging equipment, because yes, we're gonna have to dig if we wanna pull this off. Water lives underground, we can't filter it if we don't, yo."

Helpful, Reno. Your students probably had no clue where water lived.

"So, here's hopin' you dressed for some hard labor today, because that's totally what you're all in for. C'mon, yo."

And without any more preamble, he led his students through the portal.

[Open class!]

"Oh, I'm really sorry that he couldn't stay," Kathy said. "But at least he's still on the run, right? Does he know how he got here? And how the island sent him back?" That could be useful to know for Anders, who was always keeping one eye over his shoulder, just to make sure there wasn't a Templar there.

"He said he was just running and then suddenly he was on the island," Anders told her. "But I saw him get sent back. He said he wasn't feeling well, and then there was a portal that he felt like he had to go through."

He sighed at the memory. "Rapunzel says she got here the same way as he left, so maybe the portal put him where he's supposed to be. I want to believe she's right. But I already asked Barry to try to make a new portal to find him." Through which he hoped no Templars would come.

"If you need help going to find him, you know I'm there with you, right?" Kathy asked, assuming that if Barry was on it, it was as good as done. "Not even because I want to see your chapel."

Though if there was any time Kathy needed to prove to herself she was a hero, this week was it.

"If I have to go find him, I'm bringing half the bloody school," Anders said, with a little laugh. "But you'd probably be more help than most. Thank you."

"Oh, I dunno about that," Kathy said, pinking slightly. "I'm just fast and bouncy. I'm not even a trained fighter, just a gymnast. But I'll definitely do everything I can to help."

"Templars wear dresses and ridiculous suits of armor," Anders told her. "Be fast and bouncy'at them long enough,and you could knock them right over like toy soldiers."

"And now Hortense explains the real reason he wanted to take me to the fancy church," Kathy said. "So I could knock around some Templars while he laughed."

"No!" Anders insisted, managing to look serious for almost 30 seconds.

Then: "But ... it would be a pleasant side effect."
