“We can definitely vouch for that,” Ghost pipes up.

Blaze nods firmly. “That’s why we brought him here. We’ve seen him fight.” Shaxx seems to meet her gaze for a moment, but his attention remains on Steve: the resolve in the smaller man’s eyes, the determination with which he hefts that shield.

“I’m not doing you a kindness,” he says finally. “It’s going to be hard, and I guarantee it’s going to hurt. There’ll be days you wish you’d never come to me. Stay on this path and it won’t be a question of whether it kills you, only when and how. Maybe you won’t even last that long.”

The big Titan leans forward a little, his voice lowering as his tone intensifies. “But you know what I think? I think the enemy doesn’t give two smoking damns if you’re ready or not. War doesn’t pick on people its own size. You step out there, you’d better be ready to face it. And before you ask, Ghost- yeah, I’ve heard the rumors, I can guess where he’s from. “ His own Ghost is looking curiously at that shield. Shaxx nods in its direction. “So how about a deal? You let my Ghost take a look at that shield’s composition, and I’ll recommend you to one of our Titans for training.”
