Fics like Deliver us from evil

My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth. “Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.” Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?” “Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.” ----- AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent! The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.
