Come fly with me [OPEN]

Sofia rose above the city, riding on the wind. Even though a lot of the city was a mess, there was something calming about seeing everything from the air. It brought her a sense of peace and perspective. But mostly she liked using her powers, especially after thinking she would never be able to use them again.

[[OOC: If your character can't fly they can just say hi after she's settled on the ground.]]

There was someone around who didn't fly, but the way he moved, you'd think he would.

Racing across the rooftops, leaping from one to the next like an expert parkour runner, Sonic caught up with Sofia, watching her with interest. She seemed almost like Fate, except, well... no sword or lightning or that odd military outfit.

"Nice moves! Kinda makes me jealous!" Sonic called out, grinning.

Sofia drifted lower so she could speak with him.

"That makes two of us. I wish I could run like you."

The last person that Sofia probably wanted to see was right there.

Kara Zor-El.

Supergirl.

And she was approaching Sofia with a friendly, if hesitant, smile.

Sofia stopped the moment she saw Kara. "Oh, no." She whispered.

What was SHE doing here?

"What do you want?"

"Really now?" Sonic said. "I'm kinda surprised. I'd figured a lot of you wouldn't want to do something like that!"

It was almost interesting to see someone wanting to run. Especially since most of his friends and allies could fly in some manner.

"To talk," Kara said, keeping a good two arms' lengths away from Sofia. "And to apologize for my behaviour the last time we...talked."

"I would not give up flying for it but I still think it is very cool."Sofia admitted. She landed on the roof by Sonic. "I've wondered what it must be like."

"A little late for that, isn't it? And not because of GLaDOS." And then another thought crossed her mind and she didn't hold it back in time. "Or are you really here because you ran into Julian and want to gloat?"

"It's fast." Sonic stated simply before chuckling. "But, it's amazing. To me it is. To move as fast as I can means just about nothing can stop you. You're free as the wind. And frankly, that's how I like it."

Sofia smiled. "'Free as the wind.'" She echoed. "I like that. That's what flying is like for me, though it should be since controlling the wind is how I fly."

"Control the wind, huh?" Sonic said, musing. "Sounds like an interesting power! You just don't use it for flying, though, do ya?"

Kara looked down and away from Sofia's gaze. The last thing she wanted was for Sofia to see her blush. Because Kara had run into Julian, and one thing had pretty much led to the next. And it had been wonderful.

"I swear, this is a gloat-free zone, Sofia."

Marco was in osprey morph, heading back home after talking to Kang. He kept an eye on the flying girl - damn, he wouldn't be able to just head straight home while there were other people in the sky that could see him. He'd have to land somewhere on foot, or wait around until she flew off first.

With that kind of reaction, Sofia didn't need to see her blush.

"You have said all you need to say. Leave me alone." If her response was cold before, it was icy now.

Unfortunately for Marco, Sofia wasn't heading anywhere. She was too at ease in the sky.

The sky which had totally distorted wind currents. It was probably a good thing that Marco didn't try flying in them.

"I can move objects and make someone lose their balance by compressing the air in the ear drum." She could also eavesdrop on people but she didn't think it would be smart to advertise that, not without knowing how he would react.

Starfire always felt a thrill at the prospect of flying again. It had been too long since she'd done it aimlessly in such a wide space. There were boundaries, of course, but in that moment she couldn't care less.

She noted that another girl was flying today, her face serene. Sofia---the person she was going to help with prom, correct? Perhaps she had someone to share joy with? It wouldn't hurt to make an attempt at finding out?

"Hello!"

"Oh, hello! Starfire, right?" Sofia adjusted her course so she could fly alongside her.

"Yes!" Starfire cheered, twirling through the air and maneuvering into position. She loved this.

"It is wonderful to meet you in person, Sofia. To share in the joy of flight is a wonderful gift."

And a welcome break from the intrusive thoughts that tended to weigh on a mind.

"Same. I didn't know you could fly. You do it very well. I'm still a little rusty." Sofia smiled.

Starfire laughed brightly, slipping into a more comfortable position. "Flight comes as naturally as joy to my people. Without one, the other cannot exist."

It was always worth it to feel the wind in her hair. "You have been preoccupied?"

The blush on Kara's face faded at that. It wasn't, though, replaced with the angry flush that Sofia was no doubt by now all too familiar with.

"I understand that you don't want to see me, much less talk to me after what I did to you, Sofia. It was beyond horrible, and it's exactly the sort of thing that Kon and Kal would look down on me for. It's unforgiveable, and I'm not looking to you for forgiveness. But I want to at least start making amends." She looked back up at Sofia. "You can understand that much, can't you?"

"I understand that I tried to be your friend. Maybe I could forgive you, if you had only hurt me once, but-" Her voice started to choke and she paused so she could get control of it again.

"But what I did was hurt you multiple times in one go." Kara nodded. "I know. If I could take it back, I would. I know that probably means nothing but..." Kara sighed. "I told Julian that I was turning over a new leaf, and I meant it. And I really do want to find a way to resolve our issues. We're stuck on this ship, and we're going to have to fight for our very existence probably and..." Kara shrugged. "Do you see where I'm getting at?"

Sofia breathed. Why did her throat hurt this much? Why did she hurt?

"I am going to give you some advice, Kara. And then I am going to leave." Another deep breath, she closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them she had regained some of her previous calm. "Julian does not care about you, not how you care about him. It does not matter how much you love him or how much of yourself you give him, in the end he'll move onto someone else. He'll hurt you and he will not even realize why. I know because it happened to me." And it wasn't just because of Kara. There would have been someone else. There always would have been someone else.

"I don't want to see you again, Kara. Maybe one day when I'm ready, but until then I don't want to talk to you. And you can tell Hellion that the same goes for him."

Before Kara could respond Sofia flew off, silently praying she wouldn't be followed.
