fandomhigh | Advanced Team Building, Thursday, February 4th

Today the class was in the Danger Shop rather than outside freezing, so that was a plus. The negative was possibly the huge obstacle course that had been set up.

"So, we've gone over a lot of the basics of survival in the wilderness," Tony said. "So now it's putting some of those skills to the test as a team!"

Were you developing a twitch every time they said "as a team" yet? Because it would come!

"We have some rope climbing, some swimming, some trying-not-to-fall-in-mud, and a trust fall," Steve said, beaming. "I did this last week with my team up in New York."

There had been so much whining about the mud part.

Tony gave him a pat on the shoulder for that. Because, yes, all the mud. "And, at the end, there will be a puzzle to solve," he added. "But, if you can finish this, you get the reward of some cookies--from a bakery--and time spent with Patriot."

A corgi in a Captain America sweater lost his goddamn mind at the mention of his name, butt wiggling happily at the teachers' feet.
