“I didn’t think you meant an actual suit,” Ian muttered, eyeing the military grade tactical vest Ghost had shoved into his hands. It was heavier than it looked, filled with panels that housed ceramic armor.

“It’s a vest, not a suit,” Ghost corrected, “and you’re gonna want to put it on.”

“Planning to shoot me?”

“No. He’s planning to throw you up against that wall,” Ghost said in a bored tone, pointing to Mercy.

“Oh, please,” Ian scoffed…but he tugged the vest on over his head. Which of course displaced his beanie, and meant he had to tuck stray long wisps of hair back up into its band. “Why do I get the feeling,” he said, glancing at Mercy’s anticipatory grin, “that this is just an opportunity for you lot to rough me up for the fun of it?”

“Hey now. We’re assholes, but we’re not douchebags,” Aidan said.

“There’s a difference?” Alec asked. He was fiddling unsuccessfully with the straps of his own vest, looking more than a little hesitant about what was to come.

“Assholes are mean ‘cause they have to be,” Ghost said, coming to stand in front of them, hands clasped loosely behind him and chin lifted like a general inspecting his troops. “Douchebags are mean ‘cause they think it’s fun. Now.” He cleared his throat with a note of formality. “Are we here to learn self-defense, or what?”

Ian aimed for bored, but sounded unsteady when he said, “Yes.”
