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?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXhTSgjlGK
SD-K (crossing arms)
“…We haven’t stretched our wings in a while.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVRToSswyH
JASON (cracks open one eye)
“Wings? Like the ‘you have actual wings and haven’t mentioned it in five days’ wings?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoEXOFCDXs
SD-A (still upside-down)
“Retractable alloy flight stabilizers, technically. But yes—wings!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpvANVX9HK
[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.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6gPvzzoXq
SD-K (flattens the wings, testing balance)
“Flying burns fuel. Risky in cities. But here...”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0QAB4hFrv
SD-A (spins and strikes a pose)
“It’s like a wind-themed music video waiting to happen.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9igFgwODgY
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.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGn7mlywvx
[A loops, laughing like a child. K spins to avoid a piece of scaffolding, flips upside-down, and yells down to Jason:]
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNX3EAeHm4
SD-K
“If we crash, you’re carrying the bodies home!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fTLmIvsqF
JASON
“If you crash, I’m selling the scrap to Crank!”

[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.]
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQUJvmcu0v
SD-A
“That! Was! Amazing!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivMWuAHoKD
SD-K (adjusting his shoulders)
“Not terrible.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1U6yMKuJN
JASON (mock offended)
“No ride for me? What am I, a third wheel without altitude?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKcKvChY8J
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!”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFSrGBKuN
JASON (eyeing A’s narrow frame)
“…I’d rather not plummet to my death because you think this is a romcom.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBCa9MuK8C
[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.]
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwA9mHKAD7
JASON (chuckling as he watches them)*
“…Y’know, for two walking death flags, you’re kinda alright.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN84At0XbZ
SD-A
“Group hug?”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZkFQ7MEzr
SD-K
“I will stab the hug.”
98Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4kfCFKGrG
[Cue long-distance side-hug. Jason gets pulled into it anyway.]
