[ Somebody is flying around the Golden District today. Somebody also had the brilliant idea to wish for the powers as that of Superman-- permanently. That's right.
America didn't wish for all of Superman's powers; he would like to get a good grasp on a few at a time-- and boy, flight is hard enough as it is.
If anybody were to look up, they would

[Just another day in Splendor, hanging out in our room at Murlberry Cast--

And then Jun looked up just in time to see someone crashing right into his window. Needless to say, he wasn't expecting that, so after a short round of "OH MY GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED" panicking, he opens the window and is now looking down at the guy on the ground, giving a shout down to him.] H-hey you, are you okay?!

[starstripedhero]

[ A muffled sound is heard as he waves his hand above his head, attempting to respond, but alas. He feels like just lying there for awhile. Maybe he should have wished for invulnerability first.

Perhaps go down and poke him a bit to see what happened. ]

[awesome_trainer]

[Well okay the guy made a noise and moved a little which must be a good sign, but yeah, he's gonna run down the stairs as quickly as possible--in a momentary lapse of forgetting he could fly down with Dragonite from the window to reach the guy faster--but soon enough he is out the door of the castle and running over to him.]

Ah geez... [He gives the guy the slightest nudge with his foot but quickly stops doing that because there's probably a rule somewhere about poking potentially injured people.] Are you alri--no wait, of course you're not, probably...

[starstripedhero]

[ And he SPRINGS UP, face bruised and glasses cracked and crooked. He strikes a ~*~*~FABULOUS AND TOTALLY AMERICAN POSE~*~*~.
Epically heroically, he replies in a booming voice, flexing his muscles to impress who knows who. ]

I AM FINE, CITIZEN.
I MEANT TO DO THAT.

[ ---he's still playing pretend.
which is disturbing since he appears 19.
-----but its more disturbing that he's 234. ]

[dorkways]

[floats up next to him!]

S'kinda tricky, isn't it?

[starstripedhero]

[ America groans and peers up from his face plant to see John floating.
---John.
-------This kid.

YES. He had mentally given John 50 cool points for liking his movies and inviting him over that one time.

YES, THIS KID.

America sits up, tugging his cape out from under himself. Oh man. He felt so cool. Cooler than Clark Kent ever did.
Adjusting his glasses, he announces. ]

Absolutely not!
I was just testing the windows durability!

[dorkways]

[chuckle] If you say so, man! [grins] Since when can you fly?

[starstripedhero]

Since this MORNING.
Somebody did some AWESOME WISHING and got some AWESOME POWERS from some AWESOME ALIENS.
That's what, man.
I see you did the same thing.

Whoa!![Lloyd is..staring out his window]

Hey how'd you do that??!

[starstripedhero]

[ America sits up and holds his face slightly before looking up at Lloyd. ]

Why, with my superhero super powers, that's how!
If you couldn't tell, I'm ~*~*~SUPERMAN~*~*~

[nobleidealist]

Superman?! Who's that?

[starstripedhero]

....

........

Oh GOD. You're one of those aren't ya!? One of those so sheltered, naive, people from another world where television doesn't exist, they don't know what America is-- and-- o-oh God.

[ He grips his hair slightly. and squats down. ]

I-I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE MEETING ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE.

[ --was he--- rocking on his heels like that--? ]

[starstripedhero]

[ America replies from the ground, struggling to push himself up and spitting grass out of his mouth. ]

Yeeeep! That's me, alright!

[starstripedhero]

[ America brushes himself off and does some ~*~*~AWESOME POSES~*~*~ He flexes his arm. ]

Well-- you know-- it's just been awhile!
Aaaaaand, I've been drinking a little!

[ drinking cola maybe. ]

[usessubspace]

[She catches a glimpse of him outside and in the air flying, blinking. Was that...Alfred? What was he doing and how was he even. But. Oh crap. That could have hurt. So here, have Ramona running over and bending over him, tucking a strand of blue hair behind one ear.]

Are you well? [She will. Get to the Superman get up after assessing how injured/brain damaged he is.]

[starstripedhero]

[ America groans slightly upon hearing somebody looming over him-- this means he has to get up and act like nothing happened. So, adjusting his glasses, which now have a crack in them, he doesn't feel the slight trickle of blood run down his nose from impact.
Seriously. She always catches him when his nose is bleeding.
Brushing himself off, he flashes Ramona a smile. ]

Do not fear, citizen! This sort of thing happens all the time to us heroes! Ahhh, some time our flying ability goes crazy and it's hard to steer! The honest truth, I swear it!

Nowwwwww.
[ some poses and flexes here. ]

I know you have a boyfriend, but I don't think he'd mind you checking me out a little.
I mean, really. Look at me.
[ HIS ARM IS FLEXED AND IN YOUR FACE, RAMONA. SQUEEZE IT, HE'S DETERMINED YOU DO SO. ]

[usessubspace]

Oh, I'm sure it does.... [Well. The number of times she had seen Scott get punched or kicked by one of her exes, after all.....But she sighs, a small, long-suffering type smile as she gives him a look.]

Considering, you don't look too hurt, at least. You wished to fly, huh?

[And a pause and laugh at that as he shoves his arm at her face.] As tempting as that offer is, Alfred, no thanks. [Because. Well. She realizes she really does love Scott, and she doesn't want to go back to her cheating ways again.]

[starstripedhero]

[ DRAMATIC PULL ARM AWAY. Another triumphant pose. ]
Sure did! Our captors sure are gracious and generous to grant us our wishes like this!
