[standing at the edge of the roof, one hand on the siding of one of the towers so he'll stay grounded as long as he needs to.

If there was ever a day to try, this was it, right?]



[ooc: open post. Clark, you loser, learn to fly out of habit, not just necessity.]

[lands behind him and pushes him off]

Clark?

[supes]

[he turns his head]

Hey, Shayera.

[maces.livejournal.com]

And you're trying to do what exactly?

[supes]

I was thinking that while we have less-than-reliable gravity... I should try flying.

[maces.livejournal.com]

[gives him this look]

[supes]

[earnest]

I've done it before. And I have to learn eventually.

[maces.livejournal.com]

Jumping off the roof? Why not have someone teach you instead. That seems more... obvious.

[supes]

It's not jumping, so much as... [trails]

Shayera, you fly with wings, and I'm not asking Kon. I've always learned by practicing on my own. I'll be fine.

[maces.livejournal.com]

[now this look]

Okay, first, I have no intention of trying to teach you anything ability related. I'm not that ambitious.

Second, Kon is hardly teacher material.

Third, I was referring to Kara. She may still be a kid, but she's more leveled that Kon. Besides, with John and I there to supervise, I don't see what could go wrong.

[This just leaves him open to heckling by the other fliers now. Have a Crowley, leaning on a tower with his wings out, so at least he can somewhat control where he goes if the gravity goes weird again. And he's watching Clark in amusement]

I didn't think things were that dire, Clark.

[supes]

[he turns to look. Whoops; he didn't realize it'd look like that.]

What? Oh. Oh, no. I was just thinking...

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow arch of disbelief]

Thinking while you're standing on the edge of a rooftop?

[supes]

[he steps away from the edge a bit]

I know it looks a bit crazy.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Actually, it looks a lot crazy, but I've come to expect that of this place.

[supes]

With death being temporary, I don't think ANYONE would even try.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Good point, but still, you never know. [Examines fingernails idly] So, if you're not planning on braining yourself on the pavement, what are you doing?

[supes]

I'm thinking I should learn to fly.

[theothersuper.livejournal.com]

[and have a curious Kara]
Hey, Clark. What's up?

[supes]

[aaaand he's stepping back from the edge a bit]

Hey, Kara.

[put more clothes on, little cousin :|]

I'm just... thinking of figuring out this flying thing.

[theothersuper.livejournal.com]

[but Claaaark...]

Figuring out?

You were going to jump off, weren't you? Well, I guess we could do it that way or you could just watch me for a little while first before trying it.

[psyched Kara is psyched and is guiding Clark back to the edge]

[supes]

[no buts. I shouldn't be able to see up your skirt if I look in the wrong direction.

Clark lets her bring him back to the edge, and smiles.]

Alright, show me how easy it is, so you can have a good laugh when I mess up the first few tries.

[theothersuper.livejournal.com]

[and Kara stops for a bit]
C'mon, Clark I wouldn't do that to you. I just really want you to be able to fly. Once you start, you are never going to look back.

[supes]

[pleased, though it doesn't stop this from being slightly on the embarrassing side; he's supposed to have years of experience on his Kara, even if this one is different]

Thank you, Kara. It means a lot.

[theothersuper.livejournal.com]

Alright then. Moving on.

[and Kara leaps off the roof and flies around slowly and then just stands while talking to Clark]
You have to think about it. It's like our other powers. Imagine yourself flying?

[supes]

[he gets closer to the edge, and just sort of hovers there, not so sure about stepping off]

Alright. Just concentrate on doing it, and it'll just happen. Anything else?
