EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – THE RIDGE ABOVE

[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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv2PEQlZaQ
SD-K (crossing arms)
“…We haven’t stretched our wings in a while.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXmUd1gRZ
JASON (cracks open one eye)
“Wings? Like the ‘you have actual wings and haven’t mentioned it in five days’ wings?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6rn8ETIfo
SD-A (still upside-down)
“Retractable alloy flight stabilizers, technically. But yes—wings!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5xW7Pocw
[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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRwqzYwpHW
SD-K (flattens the wings, testing balance)
“Flying burns fuel. Risky in cities. But here...”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAexPPHtMu
SD-A (spins and strikes a pose)
“It’s like a wind-themed music video waiting to happen.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaFmzflcxC
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9SMuPufV9
[A loops, laughing like a child. K spins to avoid a piece of scaffolding, flips upside-down, and yells down to Jason:]
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGxoa3Y6AO
SD-K
“If we crash, you’re carrying the bodies home!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsouePD2RPt
JASON
“If you crash, I’m selling the scrap to Crank!”

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n8kwVmoJP
[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.]
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZH5fK2McI
SD-A
“That! Was! Amazing!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87mNc7SCTx
SD-K (adjusting his shoulders)
“Not terrible.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJoPBKiZdT
JASON (mock offended)
“No ride for me? What am I, a third wheel without altitude?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Bzdejn70
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwt1bqvJRc
JASON (eyeing A’s narrow frame)
“…I’d rather not plummet to my death because you think this is a romcom.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx6oakJzVi
[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.]
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm56HGVyKKq
JASON (chuckling as he watches them)*
“…Y’know, for two walking death flags, you’re kinda alright.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQfrMirfZZ
SD-A
“Group hug?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECwqJugsh2
SD-K
“I will stab the hug.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHe9uZGcXD
[Cue long-distance side-hug. Jason gets pulled into it anyway.]
