fandomhigh | The Floor Is Lava, Thursday

The class had been told to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to look like a suitably foreboding landscape, with a large chasm filled with variously sized rocky platforms, separated by variously sized gaps, with a viscous fluid down below, glowing yellow and orange. At least one of your teachers was looking pretty pleased with herself.

Make that both teachers, really. Jane was bouncing on her toes in excitement to see how this went.

"It's not really lava, don't worry," Jane said before the class could even take it all in. "It's jello."

Which was only moderately better. Especially because someone had found the setting to make it real jello. You're welcome.

"But welcome to class! The object is very simple... don't fall in."

"The last person standing wins," Cara added. "Anything short of actually harming one another goes."

"Oh! And let's try it without powers this time?" Jane suggested. Helpfully.

"We'll supervise, to...keep it fair." And not because Cara had popcorn stashed away or anything like that.

Nor was the dorky grin she got in return. "They probably do with everything else they got," she said. "Otherwise, I'm happy to teach you."

"Oh no," Steph deadpanned, "spending more time with you. Oh no. Whatever would I do?"

Vi kept on grinning. "I know, it's the worst."

"Terrible," Steph said, shaking her head. She scanned the area, trying not to take too long and overthink it, then tilted her head toward another chunk of something that looked big enough to hold both of them and gave Vi a quizzical look.

"My favorite kind of terrible, though."

Vi...hadn't actually stopped grinning at Steph, but grinned at her in a different way and hopped lightly across. "You're doing great."

"We're doing great," Steph replied, glancing around quickly again to assess how many people were in the jello by now. "Looks like it's just us, Stark, and Skywalker left."

She took a second to tense for a jump and then pushed off, clearing the gap easily enough.

Too bad she didn't get her feet back under her in time to make a solid landing.

Vi lunged for her, trying to catch her before she fell.

Steph didn't fall right away -- she wobbled for a moment, long enough to shake her head and say "Keep going!"

And then she fell into the jello.

It could have been worse, so hey.

Just because it could have been worse, didn't mean that Vi was happy with it. Okay, maybe a little at the idea of helping Steph clean up.

She did, however, race across the remaining gap to finish this as quickly as possible.

Did Steph cheer her on from the jello? Maybe.

Obviously.
