"So do you like need a while to fix your suit or what?"

Permalink

Blink. "No, not at all. Well, I mean, a minute, I need to think." She closes her eyes and furrows her eyebrows.

Permalink

Boots hangs out on his rafter.

Permalink

There are some changes to the suit, merely cosmetic, for Boots' sake. The fabric looks somewhat shinier and more reflective, the G more obvious because of that, and it bulks up ever-so-slightly. "Thaaat should be enough."

Permalink

And he jumps down, landing on his feet near the weight rack.

Permalink

Glam hovers down, masked.

To the exit!

To the exit indeed!

When facing the drop into the ocean: "We might want to go a bit farther out."
Permalink

"What do you mean?"

Permalink

"I mean, farther out into the ocean, so that we're not that visible from the shore."

Permalink

"How're we gonna get there, are you going to turn us invisible or what?"

Permalink

"I can't turn us invisible, but I can carry you there, and flying capes entering and leaving the PHQ should be common enough that it won't be weird?"

Permalink

"Nobody else has an all white costume."

Permalink

"Okay, true. ...but well, we don't really need to be disguised to leave, do we, we're just gonna go use our free time on a Sunday afternoon."

Permalink

"I guess as long as we're not in the city it doesn't look like a patrol," says Boots dubiously.

Permalink

"Right! Let's go, shall we?"

Permalink

"Are you gonna give me something to land on so I can walk it or do you seriously plan to carry me?"

Permalink

A platform emerges from the water. "If you prefer to walk." It starts extending a way farther out, as if it were a single piece with several sections unfolding from the previous ones.

Permalink

Boots hops down onto the platform and jogs.

Permalink

Glam flies after him, and the platform extends faster than he can run, retreating back into itself behind him.

Permalink

Boots speeds up. He's getting most of his speed by pushing off really hard from the surface of the platform; it's loud.

Permalink
It is kinda loud. But they're probably far out enough out that it won't matter for long.

Glam starts making new platforms appear instead of extending the old one because that's faster and easier to do, now Boots is already expecting a speed for the old platforms. They go on and on and on, and Glam is high enough and the platforms are large enough that they would definitely notice if even a single one of them went missing, so they obligingly stay put.
Permalink

Boots speeds up and up and up.

Permalink

Glam does as well, making more and longer platforms appear. They start appearing with a slight tilt to the right so the path will start turning south to run parallel to the coast instead of away from it.

Permalink

And presently Boots is outrunning a hypothetical cheetah in leaps and bounds.
