EXT. OUTSKIRTS OF CENTRAL CITY – NIGHT – THE RIDGE ABOVE
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QQ2Vbfilm
[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?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDSzR9Eq9M
SD-K (crossing arms)
“…We haven’t stretched our wings in a while.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV26CpGNCn
JASON (cracks open one eye)
“Wings? Like the ‘you have actual wings and haven’t mentioned it in five days’ wings?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms6p2b0KxJ
SD-A (still upside-down)
“Retractable alloy flight stabilizers, technically. But yes—wings!”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHts4Ijarn
[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.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQGeoN1VPh
SD-K (flattens the wings, testing balance)
“Flying burns fuel. Risky in cities. But here...”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBavaVOEjk
SD-A (spins and strikes a pose)
“It’s like a wind-themed music video waiting to happen.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg1UiAHBHB
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.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdhYfzSjlz
[A loops, laughing like a child. K spins to avoid a piece of scaffolding, flips upside-down, and yells down to Jason:]
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TSAqiNCEG
SD-K
“If we crash, you’re carrying the bodies home!”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X9dX7OlB6
JASON
“If you crash, I’m selling the scrap to Crank!”

24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwfTLMOLxo
[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.]
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXuCQMVF74
SD-A
“That! Was! Amazing!”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisrDivgb3B
SD-K (adjusting his shoulders)
“Not terrible.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgvcVE0z7Z
JASON (mock offended)
“No ride for me? What am I, a third wheel without altitude?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0jBu8EF95
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!”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2DfesIYo
JASON (eyeing A’s narrow frame)
“…I’d rather not plummet to my death because you think this is a romcom.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOksScWqFhu
[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.]
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70h6Ch7Wnu
JASON (chuckling as he watches them)*
“…Y’know, for two walking death flags, you’re kinda alright.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WZoGcsh3f
SD-A
“Group hug?”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAyuWcY7bX
SD-K
“I will stab the hug.”
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrkRuwXh0P
[Cue long-distance side-hug. Jason gets pulled into it anyway.]
