    Summary

    “You can't be serious?” Carl asks. 

    “I don't do jokes. And someone has to keep an eye on him.”

    He groans and runs a hand over his face.

    “But why me?” It won't only be him, he knows. He'll have his team with him, a few trusted agents who he has worked with for years (and who are currently sneakily accepting chocolate covered peanuts from the teacher.)

    But this still feels like a personal blow somehow. Did he do something wrong? Is this what he has been reduced to? A glorified babysitter for a scatterbrained teacher? 

    There is that half smirk on her face, the one that either enamors you or makes you shit your pants, depending on whether or not you are on her good side. 

    “You told him your name.” Her answer throws him and she can tell. He opens his mouth but she carries on. “Your real name.”

    ***********

    Carl is less than thrilled when he gets reassigned to babysit a teacher playing around with three dots in a glorified warehouse.
    But at least this job should be rather uneventful.

    Boring even.

    Summary

    “You’re really awake,” says MJ. Her voice cracks and, to Gwen’s astonishment, MJ begin to sob—huge, full body weeps. Gwen wonders if she’s still asleep. “Jeez louise, girlie. I can’t believe you’re really awake.”

    “Why wouldn’t I be?” she rasps out, and there’s some more pain—her throat is raw and unpracticed. “Did I die? I kinda feel like I died. Or like I should have.”

     

    Or: Gwen Stacy falls and that's just the beginning.

    Summary

    "When someone hits you, take the hit. Look back up at them, and grin in their face. This unsettles them. This means you are in control."

     

    "When someone hits you, take the hit. Crumple to the floor. Go limp and stay there. They'll get bored and leave soon enough."

     

    On the evening of a military ball none of them really want to go to, Anakin and Obi-Wan have very different advice to give Rex and Cody, respectively.
