fandomhigh | Paintball!, Monday, June 6th, 2022

This week wasn't quite as miserably hot out for the class, so as a reward... it was teamwork time.

The set up was basically all the same, but this time there were what looked to be very large handcuffs to chain duos together. Because nothing said challenge quite like forced teamwork, right?

"Welcome back!" Tony said, definitely enjoying this plan more than he ought to. "We're switching some things up this week to make sure no one gets too complacent."

"You're going to work in pairs," Steve said, "and you'll be handcuffed together, so figure out which one of you shoots with which hand, or who's the better shot, and then lock your hands together."

"And if your partner goes down, they're now dead weight." Guys, no.

"It'll be fun!" Steve proclaimed overly optimistically. "Listen for your names and we'll give you some time to plan out your strategies:
Yang Xiao Long & Stark
Steve McGarrett & Anakin Skywalker
Danny Williams & Cara
Alara Kitan & Juillene Milone (and Camden)
Shane Gooseman & Lana Beniko
Eliot Waugh & Rosa Diaz
Steve Rogers & Kitty Pryde-Barton
Tony Stark & Gray
Billy Coen & Irene Adler"

Maybe strategize a little!

....well, fuck.

This was just going to end with Rosa just shooting her partner just to get out of this, wasn't it?

You'd think!

"I didn't hear any rules about not immediately escaping the handcuffs. Did you?"

Don't think that will save you, Eliot.

But it did buy you at least a little approval.

"Not a thing," she agreed.

Anakin stared McGarrett down. "I shoot with my right hand," he said.

McGarrett, physically incapable of stepping back from a challenge that blatant, shrugged. "You can't shoot with both? How sad."

"I'm better with my right," Anakin amended immediately.

In that he was terrible with his left hand, he was still being accurate. "I can use both for lightsaber dueling, though. How are you with a laser sword?"

"This'll be swell!" Steve said with an enthusiastic smile at Kitty.

"I can get out of the handcuffs," Kitty noted.

Oh, boy, that comment about being dead weight had just been designed to stab Gray right in the insecurities, hadn't it? Aaaaand it looked like he was partnered with the guy who had said it. This was going to be fine!

Oh, not handcuffs. Cara certainly didn't know how to work around them.

Well this could be interesting....

"At least it's not Anakin," Stark said to himself.

Loud enough Anakin could hear, obviously.

"I am way cuter than him," Yang offered cheerfully. "And I can shoot with either hand, so take your pick."

Lana looked up (and up) at her partner. "Oh Force, you're as tall as Darth Marr. So we'll be ditching these handcuffs right off, won't we? Unless you'd rather I ride on your back."

That might also have its advantages, if they watched each other's backs.

“Well we could try that,” Goose considered, “I don’t have a preference to which hand I shoot from if that helps makes it any easier,” because he did know that his height did make this a bit more awkward than normal.

At least Goose had finally slept otherwise this could be a lot more of a disaster.

"Whoops," Anakin said as his right hand was cuffed to McGarrett's left and his paintball gun went off right at the man's feet. "I'm surprisingly terrible with my left hand."

"You weren't using your hand!" Steve said. "You were using your brain!"
