What The Luck!?

"I can't believe you are all going to the same classes as me after this week of catch up classes. My younger brother is going to be the same as me!" Cara was having a slight crisis since they had all returned to Their home. She was having trouble fully accepting that the rest of the group was going to be taking classes over the break instead of returning to school normally after the break. They also would be joining her grade which was moving on to senior year when this year ended. 

"What did you expect? They said that we are one of the rare groups that form early and push each other to get done. Plus we need to get through everything faster so that they can have more heroes sooner. It's not like we would make you look bad since you literally helped us catch up to your academics already." Asher was trying to reason with his sister but it was proving a harder task due to Cara's stubbornness. 

"Is that what we look like when we argue?" Sammy and Louis were both taking an audience seat to the pair of arguing siblings for a change instead of arguing themselves. 

"Yes. Yes, it is. But we don't need to worry about them blowing everyone away with wind or zapping us with lightning by accident when they get angry." Laura dodged out of the way as Sammy lashed out at her for revenge. The joke did make Jackson and Art laugh though so she saw it as a victory. 

"I think the physical catch up will be harder. Everyone in Cara's grade has already done some sort of team work training where we are pretty much lost when it comes to that." Jackson realized that he might be insinuating something bad so he changed his phrasing a little. "We know each other a lot better but everyone in Caras' grade that wants to join law enforcement or be a hero has already trained in survival groups or rescue teams. There are classes available to them. Especially classes that point them to these careers." 

"You're right. I have had the chance to take group lessons in the fake environments behind the school. We even had a technomancer come in and create a simulation to test our teamwork skills against a fake villain group." Cara recalled the class well and thought it was very informative. She just had not been able to tell the group about it before since it was one of the advanced classes available to those who had been chosen. 

"I want to take those classes. The fake environments are used for Asher's survival class that I couldn't take yet. But if we switch and take the one that you took we can all learn at the same time." Jackson became much more excited hearing that there was a group option for the class. He would much rather all of them learn about survival at the same time because then they would all gain the knowledge instead of working harder to learn it outside of school from each other. 

"I think I would be able to take the second level of the class with you if you all did it. They are really just differences in levels of survival lessons. The first level is basics and the second is more advanced with the environmental factors. If you can all catch up we can probably take the second level." Cara knew this would encourage everyone to take these classes when they were catching up on the break. 

"You say that as if we will get to choose what we learn over break." Laura was teasing a little but Caras' serious look made her feel that she was wrong and that the joke was unfounded. 

"You will get to choose. If you can prove you don't need to study more and more academics they will ask you what you need. They might even take you out of the school and offer you to go to a camp or even other cities to learn. Remember the trip I took during the winter vacation? That wasn't with a club. It was to the next town over to take an educational course on caves and the underground rescue systems in place with the police force there."

"And that is where I draw the line. No underground anything!" Sammy was recoiling away from everyone as soon as Cara mentioned that. 

"Even if you are afraid of being underground you should learn it and tackle the fear. You have the power that allowed you to bring fresh air in to a trapped passageway to keep survivors breathing. Just imagine what could happen when a subway collapse happens." Jane was quick to jump in and show Sammy the positives of learning. However, the look on Samy's face said that tackling that fear would take some time. 

"It's fine, she can get over it slowly. We still have a lot of time before we get serious about all of this." Louis knew that hearing this would put Sammy at ease and everyone saw it do that. 

"I can't believe you have been lying about going to club meetings and hanging out with friends as often as you really do. You have been working way harder than I knew." Having heard these things, Asher began to realize just who he was competing with. His sister was a force to be reckoned with more so than he even had known. 

"I think we should focus on some important points." Art had been thinking hard the entire time they were chatting and finally decided to speak up. When the group heard him they all leaned back ready to listen as they sat in Asher's living room. 

"We should first focus on team work. We have so many fighting and self defense techniques but we lack creativity and the ability to put them all together." This was easily said but would take a great many hours to do. 

"Secon, we are on a good track learning about technology. It will only be more important and I think we should start to wear the communication ear pieces that connect to our cell phones around school or at least when we train as a group." Everyone more or less agreed with this. If they were able t communicate like that they would be able to slowly but surely improve their own communication align with their teamwork. Eventually, they could reach a point where they wouldn't even need to use the communication devices. 

"Third. Survival and rescue. We have more super powers that seem to lean in that direction right now. We also have a lot of knowledge about the topic between all of us. We can deal with villains as we come and learn that as we go from teachers and camps. But survival will be applicable in most of the missions we undergo." 

The thoughts of the group seemed to line up easily with Art. "I agree. We need to work on a lot of those parts and as a group, we do lean toward rescue and survival. It seems to be our strength and we can use those skills even in the city. Just because we focus on forest fire knowledge won't mean we can't apply some of what we learn to a house fire. Or if we focus on water rescue we won't be able to compare it to a swimming pool. There will be a lot that carried over." The collections that Asher could see were endless. 

"We will have to learn to handle people in both sides of the profession too. There will be the same panic when a villain rampages the streets and when a volcano erupts. There will be aspects of personal delicacy we can bring over too." Jackson had thoughts about the people they would be helping. It was a very good point that truly connected everything. The situation would change but they would always be helping people.

Louis leaned back on the sofa, "Is it wrong if I want to play hooky and skip tomorrow? We have to go to school while everyone else is off." All of them felt this way and looked towards Cara. 

"I don't know why you are all looking at me. I don't have school off. I have to go in too. I will be with all of you since they want us to remain as a group. If I wasn't with all of you then I would still be at school taking whatever I needed to keep improving." There was a slow realization from everyone that most of the things they did would be a review for Cara. 

"Then you can work as the leader during the break! You have the step up and can point us in the right directions." The single suggestion from Sammy immediately put Cara as the leader. There was not a single one of them that disagreed and Cara just shook her head before she decided it was a good time to end their conversation before she became a permanent leader of the group.. Tomorrow they would be back at school even without most of the students.
