fandomhigh | So You Want to Be a Hero. [Friday, Period 5]

"So, if you're going to go out and be a hero, it's important to be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses," Yang said cheerfully to her assembled class. "I have a hell of a temper, I tend to try and go through a problem rather than stop to think of alternate solutions, and while I am a very good shot for ranged work, I need to get up-close and personal to be the weapon of mass destruction I was born to be."

"Personally, I see all of those as strengths, but to most people they're a weakness to exploit, and I need to continue to work on all of it to be less-predictable. I've needed to learn to see problems as something other than a nail, and I'm the hammer."

"My real strengths are my determination, my loyalty, and the fact that I care. I care about helping people. I care about my family. And I care about doing the right thing, no matter what."

Yang winked at all them. "Now, my idea of what's 'right' isn't always what the law says it is, but what's life without a little fun, right?"

"So let's chat. What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? How do you think a foe would view you, and how can you use that to your advantage?"

Finally!

Take notes, pass notes, think about what Yang is saying.

What are you good at? What about you is easily exploitable? What do you need to work on to be the best You that You can Be?

Yang nodded along as the discussion began to wind down. "All very thoughtful points," she said, smiling slightly. "Now, try to put that to the test."

And the Danger Shop began to shift around them, becoming a ruined city-scape ~~that looked suspiciously like Vale City~~, as shadowy doppelgangers began to grow out of the pavement.

"Guess what? I programed the Danger Shop to evaluate you based on what I've recorded during prior classes, and what you talked about just now!" Yang stood up from where she'd been sitting on the ground, shrugging off her jacket onto a railing and rolling her shoulders as she grinned at everyone. "Can you beat yourself? Time to find out."

Get ready to rumble, everyone!
