#ROASTED
Yeah, it's big brain time
“No, kid, giving up is for rookies.” { for Ronnie }
• °☆ Hercules (1997)
It was rare Ronnie took to the fight school for the optional weekend practices, but the past week she’d been a big ball of rage. Where she normally had an excellent hold over her temper, the wolf inside of her had become restless. The Kara thing with her brother had really thrown her for a loop, that was for certain. After the hex incident, she had thought that would be the end of it, yet Kara persisted out of petty revenge.
Still, she didn’t want her temper getting the better of her. She’d lost it earlier with the whole pasta thing and it could’ve been so much worse. That wasn’t the kind of person she wanted to be. Even if Kara did deserve way more than a punch to the face, she didn’t like using violence unless it was an absolute life-or-death necessity.
Taking to one of the punching bags set up on the field, Ronnie uses that as an outlet for all the pent up rage from earlier. Swinging and kicking at it with an almost unnecessary amount of force, it isn’t too long before it starts to give, the stuffing pouring out from a tear she’d created in the fabric. Still, she continues on like that until she’s startled by a voice; turning mid swing as Gray catches her wrist before it can land.
“I’m so sorry,” she breathes out as she places her other hand over her heart. “I didn’t know anyone else was here. You startled me…” With dismissing wave that it was fine, Gray seems to catch on quick to her mood. She’d subbed for Holly more than a few times, so she knew what Ronnie’s frustration looked like.
With a sigh as Gray gestures for a break, Ronnie complies as they sit down on one of the benches for one of their talks. “I hate Kara,” she admits, “and I hate that she’s dragged my brother into this vendetta she has against me and Eric. We’ve come a long way from where Deacon and I stood just under a year ago, and she’s ruining it! I’m trying so hard, but it’s like he’s still with Crystal and you know how stubborn he was over her. He didn’t listen to anyone! And now he’s been sucked in by Kara and it’s just… I don’t know… It’s frustrating. It’s upsetting. I mean, am I stupid for not just giving up or—?”
“No, kid, giving up is for rookies.”
With a small nod, she knew Gray was right. It wasn’t in her nature to give up, especially not on one of her brothers, and she wasn’t stupid to keep fighting. There were very few people that saw that potential for good in Deacon and Gray was one of that select few.
“Yeah. I guess you’re right,” she tells her with a little sigh as she leans her head against Gray’s shoulder. “I just wish I knew what do about it. I know he can be a lot better than this if he’d just make an effort and stop letting crazy people get in his head.”
“There’s some things you just can’t change.”

The closer it got to March, the more reality began to settle in. The Davidson’s were leaving soon to claim their territory in McKinley. It wasn’t very far, but maybe Jared had just gotten used to have the pack around town. They were good people, they took care of his brother and adopted sister before they were ever even pack. He’d bonded with them through training and video games and he was going to miss that every day.
And then there were the Rolland’s. The Vagus were also leaving, and while the Rolland’s would be sticking around a bit longer, they too would be gone soon enough. Even if him and Quinn had gotten off on a wrong foot, he was going to miss running the fight school with Vic. These last few months had been such a joy, even amongst all the chaos, because he was getting to help people.
And maybe he also got a kick out of being considered a ‘boss fight’ to all the students.
Finding Vic standing on Alice’s back porch overlooking today’s lessons, he could tell she was in the same sentimental mood; knowing this would all soon come to an end. “So, you’re all really leaving soon, huh?” He comments as he comes up beside her. Jared already knew the answer to that. There were no more immediate threats with Aurora gone, so it only made sense things would start to normalize. Once the peace deal was in place, the Rolland’s had a duty to fulfill, and on top of that, things were still complicated between the families.
“There’s some things you just can’t change.” Vic retorts with a hint of sadness.
“Yeah. It’s a shame though, we have a really good system going here, ya know?” Maybe it wasn’t in the cards right now, but Jared was always hopeful for the future. There was peace somewhere down the line for them all. Turning to her, he adds, “look, I know you’ve got your priorities and obligations and such, but we really do have something here. Adrian really found his calling with this, and the others really enjoy it too. If you ever find the time, I think we could really build something extraordinary with this school.”
That’d be a ways down the line, he knew, but the next generation wasn’t terribly far off for most of them. Most of them were coupled and settling down, it was only a matter of time, and eventually those kids, especially the wolves, would need to learn the essentials. It wasn’t just fighting, it was learning control and how to cope if someone did trigger their gene.
“You should think about it, Vic. This is your baby, and it made a difference. And if you decide to go big with it, I’m more than happy to lend a hand in building it.”
If Ryan Reynolds doesn’t play Hades in the live action remake of Hercules then what is disney even doing?
