SHIELD Academy
Open House
Everyone is congregated in the spacious auditorium of the SHIELD Academy. The noise level is probably a decibel below deafening and the lights are probably a little dimmer than what might seem normal for this time in the evening, but it doesn't seem to bother anyone as they just carry on. There are banners strewn about welcoming all first years to a new chapter in their lives while others welcome the others back for another year at the Academy. Refreshments are served up on stage while other tables set up around the massive room are home to pamphlets and flyers for clubs and classes. Special electives and advertisements for training sessions are also littered amongst the tables.

Make a few friends, find old ones, look into clubs that catch your interest. This is open house for all returning students and prospective students, so hang out, hit up others and just mingle!

Max isn't stupid; all the X5's have ridiculously high IQs. But real world application is a completely different matter, and somehow even though it didn't make any sense when the same advice came from Maya, when Sif suggests paring herself back, it clicks into place for Max.

"I spent all that time in a place where they wanted us at 100% all the time," she admits ruefully, "It never really occurred to me that I should even try dialing back. But you're right."

Of course Sif is right. Sif is amazing. She beams at the Asgardian as the arm is draped around her shoulders. "I'm game if you are." she says forthrightly.

"There are times for us to give our full strength and skill," Sif agreed, giving her an understanding smile, because it had been a strange thing for her to learn here. She suspected Thor still struggled with it as well. "But in good sport, it is not one of them. Besides, if we did not give ourselves the challenge of playing fair, I suspect sports could end up being very boring. Then there is no benefit to it. At least this way, it is an exercise in control and being aware of our own limits and how to moderate how we use them."

She grins and gives the girl a squeeze. "I am always game. They will not know what hit them, the dour old pricks. It would serve them right."
