And Then

"Hmmm... not quite."

Walt nodded at Sasha. "Okay. Let me see the footage." They replayed Walt's attempt at the maneuver and then Levi's and Mikasa's.

"Freeze," Sasha said. "See," she pointed at the screen. Peter was nodding too.

Walt did as well. "Yeah, ok I see. I need to make the movement's even tighter."

Peter nodded. "Your mass is the problem."

Tony nodded. "Your giant body creates more drag. Even with the greater propulsion it's harder for you. I'd say up your output by... 10%?"

"7%," Norman butted in. "If he improves his form 7% should be more than sufficient."

"I actually think you can do it better than those two," Penny said. "Think about how Gwen moves. More acrobatic."

Walt nodded. "Got it. I'll run that one again." He smiled at Sasha. "You good to go one more time?"

Sasha beams. "You got it! Care to make it interesting?"

Walt raised an eyebrow he could guess what she was about to suggest but he had a counter. "Ok. You're on. If you don't beat me this time I'm eating your lunch later though!" He took off to get into position.

"What?" She said. "No way that's happening!"

Penny laughed. "Sasha you realize that he's joking. It's a free lunch for everyone helping."

"Oh!" Said Sasha relieved. "Thank god! Still... he might be serious... I have to beat him!"

"How did you do that?"

Walt looked down at Thor. "Science."

Thor raised an eyebrow. "Science?"

Walt nodded and helped him up. "I had an epiphany watching Peter, a different Peter, and Gwen dodging Electro's attacks. I can't do it like they did lacking a "spider sense" but I can ground it out using the anchors and octo arms while insulating myself."

Nora grinned. "And if he somehow channels it to me I get stronger. That's how my semblance works and how I knocked you on your ass!" She and Walt high-fived.

Thor frowned. "No one "knocked me on my ass". I slipped is all and only because you targeted-"

"They knocked you on your ass," Banner said. "It's all right here on the video." He pointed to Neo who grinned and rolled the video again on repeat thanks to Manami. They both high-fived Bruce.

"That video only tells one side of the story," Thor said.

"Really?" Clark asked rotating the 3d footage around and even upside down. "It looks like 360 sides of the same story to me."

"Fine. The Hetap's™️ are on me," Thor said reluctantly. "But it still took two of you to do it against the one of me!"

The Bulmas and Data cheered.

"Aaand you're out snake. Snake! Snaaakeee!"

Everyone laughed at Otacon. Snake disengaged the adaptive camo and stood up. "Shoot they're getting good at this!"

Everyone still laughed as he looked around. "You still don't see them do you?" Hal Emmerich chuckled.

Snake sighed and turned around quickly!... Nothing behind him. "Alright where are you guys, Boss?"

"Look up," Walt said.

Snake groaned and did. Walt and Neo waved down at him from the rafters directly over his head. He shook his head but smiled as they climbed down. "I just fell forvthe oldest trick in the book didn't I?"

Wlat patted him on the shoulder as Neo twirled hush. "Don't feel bad her illusions are damn good. So it was a variation on an old classic."

Snake shook his head. "Maybe so but you had the same advantagesas me.and I still didn't see you."

Walt shook his head. "Not all. I had a partner. That's a huge advantage. Your partners usually operate at a distance or removed. They tie you down less that way but it limits you from being ablr to use two person setups. Let's switch it up for a few exercises. Neo, what do you think?"

Neo thought fir just a moment abd then nodded but then also pointed to Blake, Anastasia and several of the others and then indicated a of them.

Walt smiled and nodded. "Sure let's all have fun together!"

Neo grinned back. That sounded good to her.
