Mythbusting, Tuesday, Period 2

Jul 07, 2009 08:15

Class started too early in the morning, in a science classroom equipped with lab tables, Bunsen burners, and the faint smell of past explosions gone wrong. Safety goggles and gloves were at each workstation, as were supplies that might look familiar to anyone who'd taken a class with Professor Durden before ( Read more... )

"I'm Claire Butler and I'm a junior," Claire said. "I signed up for this workshop because it sounded interesting and if I could fight anyone it would be..."

She paused. Her first instinct was to say Sylar, but she didn't want to have to answer any potentially awkward questions about who he was or why she wanted to fight him.

"I guess it would be Wendy the Werewolf Stalker."

Okay, lame answer, but at least it shouldn't raise any eyebrows.

"Hi Claire," Tyler said. "I've seen you in Fight Club. You and Wendy, not really a fair fight, no offense."

"Probably not," Claire agreed. "But I'd learn a lot from fighting her."

"I like that answer," Tyler said, and smiled before moving on to the next student.

He liked sticking to a pattern didn't he? It amused Ino even as she pretended she was still annoyed with him.

(Okay, it wasn't all pretend, but she wasn't that annoyed either.)

"Ino," she said, with a bit of a wave. "Yamanaka if you feel the need to use my last name. I'll be a junior in the fall, and took this class just 'cause." What? That totally counted as a reason! "And, uh, I--don't know."

Tyler loved his pattern. It saved his mun writing three whole classes a year!

"Ino," he answered. "Hey. Memory's failing me. Do you usually say you don't know?"

Ino gave a bit of a shrug at that.

"I've said Cable-san before," she said pertly, "and then fighting myself. But I really don't know right now, would you like me to lie?"

"I think I'd rather you not lie," Tyler said, the ghost of a smile on his face. "Good to have you in class again, anyhow."

"Well, really," she said, "I'd hardly not be now, would I?"

Honestly, when it came to his class she just kinda ticked herself down for it without paying attention to what it was.

"You're sure 'bout the lie?" Ino checked. "I'm pretty good at it." That was possibly why he didn't want you getting more practice Ino.

"Positive," Tyler said firmly, then leaned back on his palms. "Unless it's entertaining. Like, if you wanna beat up that dead Oxi-Clean guy, I'd really like to hear your reasoning."

"Because he was annoying," she said promptly. "Because, even dead, his commercials live on and that's dreadfully irritating when he's all shout~y at you and so he totally deserves it."

"Even dead," Tyler said solemnly. "Thanks, Ino."

That got an actual grin out of her. "Anytime," she said generously.

"Anemone, and I'm a senior," she practically caroled, bouncing in place. "I got signed up for this because my guardian knows that the best way to bribe my good behaviour is to keep me distracted with shiny things that might blow up."

Like pie or flying. Anemone was easily predictable.

"And there's really no one I really want to fight, I guess." Someone was doing much better with her Issues, shockingly. "But if anyone's in the mood for a spar, I wouldn't argue. Um, but not in class, because fighting around chemicals is bad."

She was TA largely because Tyler figured keeping her busy was the best way to avoid exploded pies full of glitter, so he was in sympathy with her guardian.

"Good to have you again, Anemone," he said. "And yes. Physical violence has to stay outside class."

... just a little preachy, there.
