Wilderness Adventures, Tuesday, May 7 [2nd period]

[heroic_jawline]

Not surprisingly for a class with “wilderness” in the name, Steve and Tony had gotten in touch with their students to let them know to meet just outside the Preserve. “Okay, so the wilderness on the island will probably not eat you,” Steve began optimistically.

"Most of the time," Tony added. "We think. You know what? Exercise caution. How about that?"

"Probably a good idea," Steve said. "I'm Steve Rogers, this is Tony Stark, and we're your teachers for this class this summer! We're very excited to teach you all about surviving in the wild."

One of them was wearing pressed khaki pants. They definitely looked like people who could survive in the wild, huh?

Maybe if they could find a box of scraps out there?

"First, how about you all introduce yourself and let us know what experience you have in this," Tony said with a smile.

"And after that, we've set up an easy exercise through the woods to get you familiar with using a compass," Steve added. Apparently they were for more holding a picture of your kinda-sorta girlfriend from the '40s to stare at moodily! Who knew?

Say whaaaat?

"It'll be fun," Tony said, much too optimistic.

"There's a snack waiting for you when you get to the end!" Steve told them.

If they'd remembered to cover it from the bugs. Had they done that?

...They had not. Sorry, kids.

And You Get a Compass! And You Get a Compass!

And a set of instructions that have you going north, then west to get to the end of the Preserve and take a picture of the lighthouse, then allll the way east to the old abandoned makeout shack (not that Tony and Steve knew that was what it was, but they could guess...)

From there, make your way to the abandoned campsite where there were two slightly embarrassed teachers, lots of coffee, plastic-wrap covered protein bars, and apples covered in ants that were definitely being thrown away now.

Tell us about your adventures getting there, or pair up with a classmate and get lost together!

North, Vette could do! West, Vette could do! Heck, she even had enough experience living around here at this point that stopping to read the directions wasn't tripping her up as much as it once might have, and-- she was totally pausing to giggle at that old abandoned shack. Not that she knew what it was, but she totally had an idea or two for it...

Ahem.

"Aw, little guys," she muttered to the ants once she was at the campsite. "I'm gonna have to just evict you from one of those apples..."

Still good.

Okay, so. There were instructions, which certainly made it a lot easier than it could have been, but this was also all-new terrain for Jules. So while she and Camden didn't get lost... yeah, it took them a while to get to the final destination.

Jules also had a slight scowl on her face that just dared anyone to make a crack about the fact that she was visibly limping as she arrived.
