Trooper Station, Monday morning

[grenadesandohana]

Steve trotted the Troopers down to the park for a vigorous training morning of four-way tug-of-war (and he, miraculously, wasn't tied up at the end of it. Yet.) and then a slow jog around the island before clapping his hands together in front of him at the door of the station. "Remember, individuals fail, groups succeed!" he said.

Ralph muttered something not quite under his breath about Steve missing his calling as a fortune cookie writer.

"I heard that!" Steve called after him, frowning.

The Trooper Station is open!

Diego didn’t really understand the concept of having a day off during the week much less multiple days off. So he was at work when he didn’t have to be and caught the tail end of Steve yelling at the Troopers. Or motivating them. Whichever.

“Aren’t you afraid one of those guys will try to kill you and make it look like an accident?”

"Only a little," Steve admitted. "I like to think I'm wilier." He held out a hand. "Hey, man, I'm Steve McGarrett. Nice to meet you."

“Diego Hargreeves,” he said, returning the handshake. “I believe we’re coworkers.”

"Well, if you've got a desk and Liam says you check out, I'm sure you are," Steve said. "I got here in July."

“I got here about a week ago,” he said. “Enough time to get the run down of how things can get weird around here.”

Steve chuckled. "So far it's mostly just been talk for me, too," he said. "I got here during a laundry strike. I was shirtless for three days."

“Yeah that’s a new one for me,” he admitted. “I was told the job is mostly desk work outside the occasional weird crisis.”

Which was a little disappointing, but he was used to finding his own crime fighting entertainment.

“That Danny guy told me there was mandatory PT on Mondays and I was certain he was screwing with me until now. Do you make them train like that all the time?”

"Generally," Steve admitted, smiling. "Most of the time it's just running."

[knife_bender]

"It's not a bad idea," Diego said. "Nothing wrong with a little cardio."

[grenadesandohana]

"Tell that to those whiners," Steve said, huffing out a laugh. "I run twice a day. It's like pulling teeth if you ask them to do it once a week."

[knife_bender]

"Well I could always put them to work on Saturdays too," Diego said. "They'll be longing for the days of one run a week."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned. "Hear that, guys? I think that sounds like a great idea. You never know when you're going to have to run down a perp."

Nooooot that often around here, sadly.
