Only in as much hot water as a lobster feast... [closed]
It's kinda hard to navigate the City level without flight, Kon finds out, and it really sucks, but there's not much he can do about it. He's dangerously low on power, and not soaking up enough from the ambient light so his powers have to be used very, very sparingly.
But eventually Kon finds Cassie, sitting on the steps of the Parthenon, looking cranky, and immediately is hit with a complicated barrages of teen emotions, mainly conflicting contriteness, annoyance that she's annoyed, and also thinking she's hot when she's annoyed. (Stupid hormones).
There are tons of logical, calm, things he could say to keep this from being an argument, that might come close to convincing her that he's not being a total idiot, but Kon is Kon and he's a teenage boy, and as such, he is not really calm or logical. (Also, he really doesn't like it when Cassie is mad at him).
So he throws up his hands dramatically, and says, perhaps a little too loudly and emphatically:
"WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?!"

"Someone's there," she said, under her breath. Oh no.

He moved again when he was able to place where the noises were coming from, which was toward the center. He moved quickly and quietly towards the center.

"Waugh!"
The two security patrollers round the bend to see two teenagers scrambling to cover themselves with their plantsuits, since there's no way in hell they can get them back on fast enough.
The two teens, currently sans their invulnerability, see guns pointed at them.
"Whoa! Whoa! No shooting! No shooting! It's just us!"

...what the?!

oh for the love of...
Leon didn't say anything further, though he did lower his gun.

"Holy crap, privacy please?"
She doesn't think she will ever be redder in the face from embarrassment.

"Get dressed."
no subject
"I know what this looks like, but uh, see, we were just both hanging out--and you're supposed to go in pairs or groups, right? That's the rule. So we did. Except, y'know, we, uh...decided to have a foot-race around the ship, so we got really hot, 'cause the ship's kinda hot..."

What was the building again? She hadn't been paying attention.
"... Here."

Sam rolled his eyes at their weak explanation, but kept his gaze pointed to the floor while the two hormonal teenagers got dressed.
"Look, just...save it," he said, waving off what they'd said. "This is awkward enough without really bad excuses, ok?"
no subject
"Let's go," he told Sam.
"You too." He motioned with his gun (which, no, he still hadn't holstered) for Kon and Cassie to follow.

"And it's not like we broke any law," Cassie adds, pointedly, running a hand through her hair so it wouldn't be so ruffled.

"Yeah, um, look we, uh, we get it, ok?" Sam said, uncomfortably shifting his weight from one foot to the other and back again. "You're young, you got all these hormones, you get horny and sometimes ya just gotta, you know, take care of it. We've all been there. Just, um, try to be a little more, I dunno, careful next time and maybe not do it somewhere so out in the open. Where you'll get caught. By me. Or anyone else."

They might want to think about that for a moment.
"And if you're going to lie about it," this was directed mainly at Kon, "at least try not to insult my intelligence."
Seriously. Running? Was that the best he could come up with on such short notice?
Leon shook his head. These kids today were slipping.
"Now I don't think anyone here wants this incident to be repeated..." At least he hoped not.
no subject
"Which is bad, given the whole lack of invulnerability thing we've got going right now, I know. Sorry."
A deep breath.
"We'll be more, uh, careful."
A do not disturb sign or something? He's not sure. Find another place? There's gotta be some way besides going without any...alone time together.

She takes Kon's hand, still red in the face. Looking either of these guys in the eye, from this point on, was pretty much a no-go.
"Can we go now?"
no subject
Really, one of them needed to be more quiet in the sack...Kon.
"Definitely echoing the 'can we please go?' We'll just, y'know, go back to the other level of the ship..."
no subject
But Leon wasn't going to belabor the point. He still had work to do.
"Yeah, go on. Get out of here."
