Beginner's Guide to Heroism, Wednesday - 2nd Period

[needsacatchphrase]

"Welcome back," Jane said, once the class had filed on into the Danger Shop. Where she'd definitely spent a good hour, fiddling to learn how it all worked. "Today we'll be talking about powers. Which not everyone has, but that's just fine as well!"

Was that last part added quickly? Yes.

"Now, powers could also mean what skills you have too. And today I'd like you to showcase what you think can make you heroic beyond the will to do good. Which can be pretty heroic on its own, but sometimes needs that little nudge, you know?"

Like, say, life altering events or broken magic hammers coming back together just for you

Work with your classmates if you can't think of a skill that would apply here.

Oh, Graham had this ready to go, right out the gate. You didn't aspire to be a Knight of Daventry without having your resume and CV ready to go at a moment's notice!

"I can bring to the table," he offered, "talking with animals and other light magic, a mighty steed that is both fast and cunning, bravery, wisdom, compassion, costuming, and significant storage solutions! I can also hit things, in a pinch, but I generally don't like to if I can avoid it."

"I don't really know, I'm supposed to have some kind of fighting powers - I haven't unlocked them yet," Guillermo admitted, shifting rather awkwardly since he was still trying to get used to the idea that somehow he could be a good fighter, "er ..." he tried to think of something else, "I can cook and I know a lot about vampires?" he offered.

They were the only skills he could think of.

Kurt gave a small awkward wave when it was his turn to talk. He HATED talking and sounding like he was bragging about himself.

"Ummm well, thanks to the X-Gene and being a Mutant there's a number of abilities, traits, and powers that I ended up with," Kurt said, seeing as it was quite apparent there was a lot that made him sort of stick out in a crowd.

Did Kurt mention he HATED talking about himself in this sort of setting?

Was TJ entirely resigned to having another version of her dad in class with her? No.

Did that mean she was going to put up with him not admitting he was awesome? Hell no.

She reached out and kicked his chair, hissing in his direction, "Tell her your powers!"

"Oh, ummm..." Kurt rubbed the back of his head and looked at TJ and then to their instructor. "I can teleport. And... I have really good balance and agility" Kurt added with a small grin.

"I punch stuff real good," Vi said, far too lightly.

"Uh, well, I can fly," Gray said. "And I'm really strong. And I can heal from almost anything. And I can heal other people, too, as long as it's not something really major. And I'm really sneaky." Did telling other people negate the sneakiness? Maybe, but he was really good at it.

"...I think that's about it." Because he wasn't about to mention his Sloth power. He didn't do that any more, anyway.

"Erm," Clare said. "I'm good under pressure?"

Untrue.

"And I'm an excellent study partner!"

Also mostly untrue.

"I've had intensive training in computer systems and engineering," offered Beta.

She was just going to leave the clone thing out of it.

"I'm really fast and flexible," TJ said, grinning. "Also I can fire hex bolts. They're explosive. And I can possess someone, but that's more a 'takes hours, lasts hours' kind of thing, so less in a fight."
