Tactics and Teamwork, Wednesday - Second Period

Hopefully the class was getting used to the drab environment picked by Agent Washington for their classroom. Because it didn't seem like it would be changing anytime soon.

"You already know the drill. Laps."

Embrace the cardio, kids. Embrace it.

"This weekend was... a thing. That happened. Whether it was good for you or bad, it's over with and time to get back to work. Today is going to be about evasive maneuvers. Learning to avoid getting shot."

Wasn't that fun?

"Two teams against each other with a third party in play." Meaning the teacher. "And I'll even sweeten the deal. If your team manages to hit me, you don't have to run laps next week."

Sadly it would be pretty difficult to accomplish without getting shot first. But the hope was alive!

"Get started."

Reflexes, at least, Ringo had. Just, you know, the wrong ones. Her reaction to the near miss was to go vertical, managing some decent height for someone her size wearing armor. Of course once she was in mid-air she realized what she really wanted was cover instead of, you know, more exposure.

So she grabbed at the top of the short wall she was next to and tried to scramble over it so that it would be between her and where the shot had come from. Or, at least, where she thought the shot had come from.

Unfortunately, that changed rather quickly as another shot came nipping at her heels.

Figuratively speaking with the flying and sll.

Ringo pulled the trigger on her gun a few times as she flopped down behind cover, trying to point it at least vaguely in the right direction.

Oh, right. Cover! That was a useful thing. Maybe she could just stay there for a few seconds and get her bearings. Come up with a plan, even.

Oh, like that was going to happen. The point here was evasion! So, better evade another shot of yellow paint, Ringo!

This, Ringo thought, would be a lot easier if she weren't so slow. Maybe she should ask if she could wear her ATs to class. It would almost certainly make her aim worse, but it would probably mean she didn't have to hide behind walls and discover just how fast someone could move around to get a shot on her anyway.

This time when Ringo dived out of the way, she didn't get as far as she'd intended, and when she rolled to her feet it wasn't behind the next piece of cover. Oh, no. She was totally standing out in the open.

Yes. Yes she was.

Washington sighed, lifting the paintball gun to fire two quick rounds right at her chest in rapid succession.

Both of which slammed home. Most of the impact was absorbed by the armor, but Ringo still grunted and scowled down at the yellow paint spattered across her front.

She stamped her foot in frustration, and finally managed to spot where Agent Washington actually was.

"Well," she sighed, "maybe next time."

Probably not.

Wash gave her a little wave at being spotted. "Keep practicing."

Ringo managed to fight down her urge to stick her tongue out at him. One day, Agent Washington.

Hopefully.
