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."

"Verbal thanks is all that I need," Anakin protested. "Truly."

"I disagree," Stark told him, very seriously. "Words couldn't possibly express the depths of my feelings."

"I also accept fruit baskets," Anakin said.

"Haven't got any fruit," Stark told him, going in for the big gooey hug.

"Erk," Anakin said, getting gooey and hugged.

"You deserve this," Stark told him. Was he holding on just a beat too long just to really drive the point home? Of course.

"I only seek to provide joy," Anakin protested.

To himself.

"Oh, I know that."

Everyone knew this was all about Anakin's amusement. Even people who never showed up on Wednesdays.
