Paintball!, Friday, June 18, 2021 [6th period]

[imafuturist]

Today the paintball class was back at the abandoned campsite, and they were just in time to see Steve put away the hoses he'd used to turned the ground extremely wet and muddy. So enjoy those mosquitoes, too, gang.

"We have a mud course today!" he said with way too much enthusiasm.

"Because we have to keep that skill curve up, right?" Tony said, waving away a cicada that just fell in his direction. Ugh, he really hated these years.

"You have all really improved," Steve said with that earnest sincerity he had, "so we have to keep upping our game, too."

Another cicada flopped to the ground and into that mud pit. "Consider the mud and the bugs natural obstacles here," Tony added.

"And we've brought back the paintball balloons," Steve said, "along with the modified Nerf guns."

So there was zero chance of walking away clean today.

What could be bad about getting stuck in the mud? Surely no glowy aliens involved in any petty feuds would take advantage of the situation!

Was that a paint balloon flying past Anakin (depth perception is hard, ok, even if sloshing through mud isn't always)?

"Sithspit," Anakin cursed, flinging it away from him in the Force and whirling around to find his assailant.

What, Anakin didn't want to be hit with a paint balloon? Weird. How about with the gun instead?

Stark gave a cheerful "Hello, Anakin!" as he fired.

Hope you liked blue paint, Anakin.

Anakin tipped over and fell back into the mud, which just made everything so much better. "I hope Rogers gets you!"

"It's only not getting hit by you that matters," Stark said, grinning.

Anakin made a face at him. "I'll get you next week!"

Re: Paint Ball!!

[stykera]

"You can try," Stark said. "Or maybe I'll shoot you again!"

He might regret saying that so cheerfully.

Which was when McGarrett tried to hit him as he raced past.

Rude, Steven. And you should have come from the other side!

Stark yelped and ducked just in time. So now he was covered in mud but he wasn't yet covered in paint. Yet.

Steve went racing off, laughing.
