"Well, you see, the thing about that is, there are plenty of me who like specifically annoying the me who likes making lists," Will laughed. "So I'm working against myself, there."

"Okay, but ListMaker probably deserves it a little bit." she chuckles.

"You know if your mother were here she'd have some kind of complex system of keeping track of everything. The mirror would be in the center of the science lab surrounded by cameras and complicated-looking machinery."

"Yeah and you'd secretly hate it and she would have freaked out over the name you picked. I dunno why but don't think I don't know that she hates that name. When Milly was over and we were talking codenames she damn near flipped a table when we floated that one."

Will had the decency to look abashed at that.

"There's a...bad history with other versions of me and the name 'Legion'. Something your mother tried very hard to avoid and forget."

Will drummed his fingers on the clipboard he was holding.

"I'm...not entirely sure I did. It may be just something that was inevitable, despite your mother's attempts to hold it back."

"It's not about me, though I'm still a little shaky about how things are working. Your mother would...not be happy, I believe."

Fresh from a shower after some work with Ciseleur, Leo approached the worksite. He lit the fire under the headmistress so it was only right that he put his time and effort where his mouth was.

"Hey Stantons. Any idea where I can help?"

"Yeeaah... She---oh. Hey Little Lion-Man. Uh, I'unno, I'm not in charge here, I just dig holes where they tell me to dig holes, but they can prolly always use someone to help lug around heavy shit."

"I am in charge here," Will said, obvious - to Robin, at any rate - that he was trying to worm out of an awkward conversation. "I'll show you where the bricks for the outer wall are; I think we can move them in now that the initial digging is done."

He realized then that he probably should have waited on the shower, but he had felt gross.

"Sounds great. Gotta get some good out of these monster muscles."

"Yeah, we've all got roles to play," Will agreed, ushering Leo over and away from Robin.

"Being ridiculously swole has its uses," he nodded as he walked over to Will, "Being hairy too, come winter, but that's getting off subject."

Ainsley wandered across the grounds next towards the construction, to see if there was anything he could help with.

"Neither is my general preference, but they have their places," Will agreed.

"Lee's supposed to be co-" he began, stopping when he saw his boyfriend.

"Lee! Over here!"

Lee wandered over to his boyfriend, waving at Will as he got closer.

"Hey. What're we up to?"

"Just gettin' info on where I can be useful," he answered. "Seems Will here is in charge."

"Provisionally in charge. I work for the Headmistress, who is held up."

Nonetheless, Ainsley turned to Will and saluted, snapping to attention. The body language was clear that he was ready to take orders.

Leo gave his guy a smirking look that said 'I love it when you stand at attention'.

"Right. We had to keep a bunch of the construction materials for the visitor's center clear from the area while we dug out the foundations, and now we need to get them into place. A lot of grunt lifting, I'm afraid."

"Sounds good to me, how 'bout you Lee?"

He unbuttoned his shirt in preparation to take it off and tie it around his waist.

Maybe it was the lack of voice, but Ainsley's attention to Leo derobing was very noticable. He nodded while staring at the other boy, his attention snapping back to Will after a moment with a broad smile on his face.

"Alrighty, I better go get Mister Excavator out of the way. They're not very smart when I'm not at least touching them." she says, heading off towards the construction-site with a wave.

"Yes, yes, you two should work together. And make sure it's at least 75% work, OK?" he said, with a slight smirk.

Ainsley made a face that said 'okay fair', and went to assist Leo with moving the building materials.

Leo, with his shirt tied around his waist, gave his boyfriend quite the view of his toned musculature as he lifted a heavy bundle of rebar.

"Gotta say, bein' this strong is kinda awesome."

"Yea yea, showoff." Ainsley replied jokingly. He wasn't know for being g swole, so the best he was going to be pulling off was picking up a few bricks at a time, or dragging a bag of cement where it was supposed to end up.
