Week 1c

Ryan, unsurprisingly, is quiet on the trip back to the firehouse. It’s no wonder Stantz gets asked if he’s a god. Ryan knows the man is one of the nicest human beings around, but he still can’t help but be leery of anyone with that much power. And he doesn’t know the other three men at all. Did they really just destroy a god? Or at least something as powerful as a god? That’s the sort of power these men have, and use, on a regular basis. It’s a sobering thought.

And now he’s being taught how to wield it, too.

Under Zeddmore's - no, he asked to be called Winston - instruction, he learns quickly and the objects at Floyd Bennett Field are soon scorched with more proton fire. The weapon isn’t the most accurate, but that’s to be expected. By the end of the first session, he’s good enough not to miss his target. With the streams way of engulfing whatever they strike, that’s enough to start joining the Ghostbusters on calls.

Week 2

Another week’s gone by and Ryan’s still trapped in the animated Stantz’s world. It’s frustrating knowing he can’t open the Door to Milliways himself, that he has to rely on the other man to get back. Not that he’s unreliable, he just tends to get distracted. Ryan would ask him to try the doors more often, but he’s seen the man come home covered in slime. He deserves some downtime.

Which he had yesterday. When Winston was teaching him how to shoot, the other guys had the day to themselves. Stantz can open a few doors for him today and one of those will lead to Milliways. He hopes. Ryan steps into the main room just in time to here something about baseball. An American sport, he thinks, dismissing it and heading towards Ray.
