Solving a Rubik's Cube
"Why the hell is this even a category?" Ray asked, which shocked the group because he had been the one who hadn't complained the entire time.
"Would you prefer to do another category instead? Maybe hopscotch or cup stacking." Snart shot back at him. It's not that he hated Ray, he just got on his nerves constantly. And plus, it was fun being sarcastic to Ray because Len knew he would never have a comeback.
"Jokes on you Leonard, I won a cup stacking competition in college. They were all full of beer to begin with but it still counts." Ray responded. This brought up several questions though, mostly from Kendra because she was the only one who didn't brush aside his peculiar comments.
"Ray are you saying that you actually won a drinking competition?"
"Yeah I was the best drinker in my house. Did I not tell you that I was in a fraternity?"
"No, you didn't. It's okay though. Let's start the competition-Rip?" Kendra replied.
"Right. You will have to solve a Rubik's cube, fastest time wins. And I feel as though I shouldn't have to say this but I'm going to anyways- no throwing anything, including your own Rubik's cube, at anybody else in order to mess them up. Are we clear?"
They all nodded and Gideon gave them the countdown.
"Done!"
All of the others stopped and stared in awe at the winner.
"Holy shit Gideon how long was that?" Jax stuttered out, incredulous.
"The time for Ms. Saunders was 10.32 seconds."
Kendra just gave a sugary sweet smile to her teammates. "Did I not tell you guys about my little college secret? My party trick in college was solving a Rubik's cube really fast."
"That's actually really cool. My party trick in college was doing a backflip with an open beer bottle between my legs and not losing any." Sara added.
"I agree with Miss Lance, quite impressive. And since we're all sharing our party tricks, mine was playing ping pong blindfolded." Stein said.
"Yeah not to mention higher than the Empire State." Jax scoffed. "I don't really have a party trick, I'm just still shocked that Kendra could do that."
Mick chimed in. "I can drink a beer in 3 seconds." And when it was clear that Leonard wasn't going to speak up about his party trick, he shared with the class for him. "Stick in the ass over here can make people pass out."
When they all gasped, Leonard decided he should explain. "Pressure points. Helpful if your partner doesn't feel like cooperating."
Nobody wanted to know what those pressure points were- except for Jax and Sara. Jax wanted to know in case Stein ever tried to drug him again and Sara just wanted to make sure she had all the pressure points covered, the League taught her a lot but not all of them.
Later, Sara and Leonard were sitting in the main room. As per usual they were playing cards; this time it was rummy.
"For the record, that isn't my only party trick." Sara broke the silence. When he acknowledged her, there was mischief in her eyes.
Leonard smirked and decided to take the bait. "And what would your other tricks include?"
"I also throw knives." She replied, and then an idea struck her. From the moment he saw the way she looked at him- a mix of seduction and danger- he knew whatever came next was not a good idea. "I've got an idea. I'm going to throw knives and if I hit you, I'll do whatever you want. If I don't, you have to do whatever I want. Sound fair?"
"Where do you propose this all happens? I assume not in here because the others might find this little activity questionable."
"We'll do it in my room. Besides, if I win, we're going to need to be in there."
"Any specific reason why you would need me in your room if you win?" He drawled out, knowing full well what she had in mind. Not that he opposed it; in fact, he was sure they were going to have the same outcome no matter who won.
"Let's just say that the others might find that activity questionable to do in the main room of the ship."
