Mobilize

"I think it would be a good idea to mobilize behind the scenes and get ready for the zombie apocalypse," Brian said to all of the kids assembled. "Every single one of you has resources and at least one superpower that will make the whole group stronger." "You've been watching too much Marvel," Dustin said, annoyed. "Not possible," Brian responded with a grin, "but some themes are helpful. For instance ... " He moved in front of Mandy, who had struggled with anxiety mightily in the last year. "Mandy, you are our head of Security; pick a righthand person to bounce ideas off of and collaborate on basic safety policies." Mandy's eyes grew wide and then she smiled. Brian went to everyone assembled and spoke directly to them, making Max the head of Research (mad computer skills), Erin the head of Mobile Services (ridiculously good at repairing bikes and skateboards), Troy the Chief Medic (the greenest thumb on the block), Andrea for Ops Tactical (because she had the best aim of anyone anywhere), and then he turned to Dustin (who fidgeted by rolling forwards and backwards in his wheelchair). "And you're Strategy," Brian pronounced quietly. "Nobody better. The goal is survival and if you're not bitching about the plan, we know that it's sound." Dustin laughed, unable to help it, and held out his hand.
