EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – THE RIDGE ABOVE
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2yLKhEpJA
[The breeze picks up as the three weirdos cool down from their sprint. Jason’s lying on a chunk of broken concrete like it’s a beach chair, SD-A is upside-down hanging from a metal beam by his legs, and K is pacing back and forth like an angry crow looking for a fight.]

JASON (half-lidded)
“Alright, now that cardio has been successfully murdered, what’s next? Combat ballet? Interpretive powercore dance?”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNeBEIvlVd
SD-K (crossing arms)
“…We haven’t stretched our wings in a while.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtuubMHw51
JASON (cracks open one eye)
“Wings? Like the ‘you have actual wings and haven’t mentioned it in five days’ wings?”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb6Wp1hfT7
SD-A (still upside-down)
“Retractable alloy flight stabilizers, technically. But yes—wings!”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHOU2f94C9
[With a soft metallic fwump, both SD-A and SD-K extend their wings. Smooth, deadly, folded metal panels click open into sleek gliders, catching the faint city light. Jason just sits up slowly, eyes wide, slowly applauding like he's in disbelief.]

JASON
“…You know, for robots built to annihilate everything, you guys really do have flair. I feel underdressed.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD2DoN39i1
SD-K (flattens the wings, testing balance)
“Flying burns fuel. Risky in cities. But here...”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTy4LD9K2
SD-A (spins and strikes a pose)
“It’s like a wind-themed music video waiting to happen.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8kwZsHwN
JASON (grinning)
“Please, by all means, show off. I’ll cheer dramatically.”

[With minimal effort, A launches himself into the air—wings wide, form twisting like a dancer mid-flight. K follows with a harder, faster thrust upward, carving a sharper path through the night. Jason watches, momentarily silent, the city lights flickering far below their soaring figures.]

JASON (muttering to himself)
“…Yeah, totally normal evening. Nothing weird about watching two flying murder machines do aerial yoga.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQYBJrNRAa
[A loops, laughing like a child. K spins to avoid a piece of scaffolding, flips upside-down, and yells down to Jason:]
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp5h0dHbZQ
SD-K
“If we crash, you’re carrying the bodies home!”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgw1h7YZBM
JASON
“If you crash, I’m selling the scrap to Crank!”

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOUid5wwnU
[The duo lands nearby, wings folding neatly back like disappearing blades. A’s boots skid on the dusty ground, and he throws his arms out.]
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3piamkYSqh
SD-A
“That! Was! Amazing!”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L5yDoU9LX
SD-K (adjusting his shoulders)
“Not terrible.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW99RaENOuQ
JASON (mock offended)
“No ride for me? What am I, a third wheel without altitude?”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6bdiU60bU
SD-A (offering a hand)
“You wanna try? I’ve never carried someone before, but I watched a lot of heroic flight scenes in those old human movies!”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEwxwpi0W
JASON (eyeing A’s narrow frame)
“…I’d rather not plummet to my death because you think this is a romcom.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufpyZfxiqQ
[K just grins silently in the background, probably praying Jason says yes so he can watch the resulting chaos.]

[The rest of the evening is filled with more wing practice, SD-A drawing shapes in the air with LED trails, Jason sketching something in the dirt, and K grumbling about “aerial showboating” while secretly testing wing drift angles behind a boulder.]
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlCCDLKONS
JASON (chuckling as he watches them)*
“…Y’know, for two walking death flags, you’re kinda alright.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Y3yqpXpC
SD-A
“Group hug?”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBwrtPXUTG
SD-K
“I will stab the hug.”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVbzXIRUS
[Cue long-distance side-hug. Jason gets pulled into it anyway.]
