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?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyBErn2wMg
SD-K (crossing arms)
“…We haven’t stretched our wings in a while.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNySjEV2R
JASON (cracks open one eye)
“Wings? Like the ‘you have actual wings and haven’t mentioned it in five days’ wings?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXpOKxagIj
SD-A (still upside-down)
“Retractable alloy flight stabilizers, technically. But yes—wings!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofw2eLzbeP
[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.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B8vpmPrTA
SD-K (flattens the wings, testing balance)
“Flying burns fuel. Risky in cities. But here...”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJNjNA1TC
SD-A (spins and strikes a pose)
“It’s like a wind-themed music video waiting to happen.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QDWMZSeFy
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.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85F9mGFqd
[A loops, laughing like a child. K spins to avoid a piece of scaffolding, flips upside-down, and yells down to Jason:]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsapM0oSVe
SD-K
“If we crash, you’re carrying the bodies home!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YXSJDQ6SH
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.]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewq7gs0ZOK
SD-A
“That! Was! Amazing!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSENL8AmNlu
SD-K (adjusting his shoulders)
“Not terrible.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc65JZ2FTlh
JASON (mock offended)
“No ride for me? What am I, a third wheel without altitude?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0BjYokFb5
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!”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnxQZ8TN6T
JASON (eyeing A’s narrow frame)
“…I’d rather not plummet to my death because you think this is a romcom.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN70OXXJHbS
[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.]
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs0x8JW7mN
JASON (chuckling as he watches them)*
“…Y’know, for two walking death flags, you’re kinda alright.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38yrXGo90l
SD-A
“Group hug?”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkImGe49MG
SD-K
“I will stab the hug.”
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggQDEFnAs
[Cue long-distance side-hug. Jason gets pulled into it anyway.]
