The Tenth Sortie [Action]

[yellowthirteen]

[Earlier in the week, David Jordan awoke to discovering something truly interesting.  Sometime when he wasn't aware, he had been gifted with a superpower.  Well, a few, in fact.  Mostly, it was enhanced durability, resistance to the elements, strength, and most importantly... flight.  Though none of these powers would put him on the level of the

[Hey Brooke, look up... That's no bird, it's no plane either (although it really might as well be), it's-]

... David?

[yellowthirteen]

[The one and only. He's currently unaware of being spotted, so Brooke will enjoy the sight of David pulling off a Pugachev's Cobra not far above the rooftops.

It was the signature trick of Yellow Squadron at air shows before the war.]

[Litchi, on her way back from the grocery store, just kind of stops and stares, stunned, at the sight of her housemate just flying around like this.

...Obviously, she missed something this morning before leaving.

Have a stunned blink.]

D-David...? What in the world...

[yellowthirteen]

[Before he registers Litchi's presence down below, he pulls off an impressive maneuver in the sky, resembling a figure 8. Though during one of the loops, he managed to catch sight of his housemate, and upon exiting the maneuver, he banked around to land next to... him.]

[guychi]

[...Okay, that was pretty impressive. Soft chuckle.]

...Well. I suppose one of us had to be the lucky one with all these experiments, hm?

[yellowthirteen]

[He can't resist giving a smile to that.]

Guess so. Never imagined something like this might actually happen.

[Nina, now on the outskirts of town in her most conventional form, happens to spot the guy from a little ways off. You know, flying people under their own power is something new for her. A little smirk plays at her lips before she lights up a cigarette and decides to just to start watching the show]

[yellowthirteen]

[He'll give her a show. Thirteen performs a series of aerobatic maneuvers and stunts that one would expect from a real air show.]

[compos_mentis]

[On a human looking body? That just looks silly. But she keeps rapt attention for a while, even moving in closer to see the guy's show at a better angle for appreciation]

[yellowthirteen]

[It looks silly, yes. But it looks like he's having fun showing off. But it definitely looks like he knows what he's doing.]

[ninthforgiven]

[Tiny child will be staaaaaaring up at Thirteen flying, head tilted slightly on an angle--the white cat that's been following him circles around his legs a few times.]

[yellowthirteen]

[Thirteen pulls into a loop, but after exiting it, he slowly hovers back down to the ground for a short breather.]

[ninthforgiven]

[*_* Lazlo trots toward him, smiling excitedly.] Mister, that was so cool!

[yellowthirteen]

[He turns toward the voice addressing him, and gives a smile.]

Hey, thanks. Been awhile since I could do something like that.

[cry_camellia]

[She doesn't intend to stray too far from the house, but now that Tsubaki's back to normal and in better shape, she's feeling pretty desperate to prove to herself that she can still get by on her own. Despite being completely blind.

She moves slowly and cautiously, but... she's definitely going to trip over something sooner or later.]

[yellowthirteen]

[But thankfully, Thirteen arrives back home just before she does lose her footing. And he moves quick enough to catch her before she falls over completely.]

Tsubaki. You all right?

[cry_camellia]

[She grips his arm for support, but that... was embarrassing. And it's written all over her face.]

D-David? ...Thank you. I'm fine.

[yellowthirteen]

[He sees it. But...]

Good. I'm glad to see you're on your feet again. I've been worried about you.
