Why did the entire island smell a bit like chocolate pudding? It was probably nothing, right?

"Welcome to our final team-building exercise today!" Anakin yelled through his megaphone. "It's based on a series of obstacle courses called a Tough Mudder, but mud is too easy!"

...that would explain the pudding smell.

"Working in teams of seven, you will race around the island, conquering each obstacle! McGarrett, stop looking so excited about this. Listen for your names! NO POWERS."

"You're basically an expert at this by now," Steve said with real enthusiasm as he got onto the punching bag.

"Ha ha ha." Very natural laugh there, Graham, very good. But honestly, it was a little reassuring knowing that he'd done this already once before, and that Steve definitely had more than a one-up on both him and Jon combined when it came to the arms department.

His confidence would be a little stronger, though, as he joined Steve on the bag, if he could be assured of at least one thing:

"Soooo.....if I were to fall off, and I just turned over to lie on my back, would you pull me back up?"

"Of course I would," Steve said earnestly. "Do you know people who wouldn't?"

"....no," said Graham, after taking a moment to think about it, and then grinning, pleased with this revelation, especially since it concerned his safety and not, you know, drowning. "Actually, I don't think I do!"

He probably did, actually, he was just far too naïve and trusting at this point in his life to realize it.

"Well, that's very good news," Steve said with a smile. "Let's get moving!"
