*BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!* *SMACK!* came the abrupt halt of an annoying alarm clock.
Steve Rogers groggily looked at the clock to see what time it was. Though with an aggravated sigh, he saw that he broke the alarm clock. Smashing it into pieces.
'That's the ninth one this week.' He thought
Grudgingly he rolled out of bed. Steve usually woke up without any problem, at the crack of dawn. Without the help of an alarm clock, but lately it has been feeling like a chore you don't want to do in the morning.
His morning schedule, would be to wake up, do the necessities, have coffee and breakfast, then go out for a morning jog.
Today he just didn't feel up to it. For once the great captain America wanted to be lazy today.
Sure he will do his normal home routine, but the jog he decided to do another day. Today he just wanted to walk and look at his surroundings, and look at the changes of 70 years.
Walking out of the simple apartment. He made his trek for the day. He thoughts about how advanced the world has become, astounded him, but also made him disappointed. Sure things now were easier for the normal person, but that also made people lazy.
Steve also couldn't help but notice that the majority of people that walked by always at least had some sort of techy gadget with them.
He sighed. 'Even with all this advancement in technology, life seems rather boring.' He thought.
Sure he could go to the Stark tower to relive some of his boredom, but he didn't feel like bantering with tony. Tony kept trying to persuade him, to get a newer suit that could also have techy gadgets but in lighter form for him.
He liked his normal attire, thank you.
Steve kept walking down the side walk. He didn't notice that he walked pretty far from his apartment, until he looked at the surrounding buildings. They were buildings that were just made for small business. Instead of grand skyscrapers, they were small brick buildings.
Liking the area more, he looked at his surroundings better. This time enjoying what he was seeing.
It wasn't chaotic as it was deeper in the city, it was nice and calm.
Well it was quiet, until he heard some strange music, above him.
His first thought was that, it was tony in his suit, with the loud crude music he has with him. This time it wasn't.
He looked up and had to do a double take, on what he was seeing.
There on the roof he saw a bunch of kids in hoodies jump off one roof to another. He was going to yell at the kids to stop their shenanigans before they break their necks. Though the applause from some of the residents on the street made him stop. 'Is this a normal occurrence?' he thought.
He hopped not, what the kids were doing was way too dangerous. He looked back at the kids and nearly had a heart attack, when he saw the one who was the smallest in the group. Jump out to street instead of the next roof, making the kid be at least 40 feet in the air. Without anything to land on.
'No way can the kid not get hurt from that! He thought franticly. He wasn't the only one who thought that, because the audience gasped too. This is not one of the usual stunts.
Steve hurried to run to at least catch the kid, hopping he will make it on time. Though he needn't have to.
The small child expertly snatched their right arm to the top of the metal light pole, and began a downward spin on the pole. Half way down the pole, the kid uses their left leg to kick off the pole and fly with his or her back parallel to the ground.
'Not again!' Steve yelled in his head. He took off in a run again to catch the kid again. This kid just kept sprouting surprises at him.
Said kid, used the greatest midair agility, which Steve has ever seen. The kid was able to move their body to perform a back flip, and have their feet land on someone's metal balcony.
Thinking that was the end of it, Steve was going to give the kid a good talking to, but the kid had more tricks up their sleeve.
The said kid decide that two jumps was not enough, and decide to go for more. Still high enough the kid jumps down to land on a very convenient and sturdy tall umbrella, to jump on pole that had a smaller pole sticking parallel to the ground.
Showing skill only an Olympic gymnast had, the flyer used their momentum to spin in two whole circles. To land on nimbly on top in a crouch position, and without stopping. Jumped on to big pole holding the traffic lights, and ran into a sprint.
Steve and the rest of the pedestrians could do nothing but stare, as the flyer started to come to the end of the pole. 'What is this kid going to do next!?' he and many others thought.
He saw the kid dig into the hoodie front pocket, and saw that the kid had a rope and claw.
"No way." Steve realized.
With great upper body strength the kid gave a big grunt, and threw the claw attached rope to the top of the building; while still running. Quickly wrapping the end of rope to themselves, and jumped sideways instead of straight. Making them give a graceful swing into the attached building.
Not taking a chance to rest, the flyer used one arm to hold the rope tight while the other kept balance. While he or she sprung more momentum, so they were running on the wall parallel to the ground.
The audience stood in awe as they saw the kid, jump off into the air away from the attached building. The kid could almost be mistaken for flying with how much they liked to be in the air.
While in midair the kid quickly used both arms to tug themselves closer to the direction of the top of the roof. With a last midair spin the kid landed softly on the ledge of the roof.
Steve didn't notice it but music was still blasting but it was coming from the flyers buddies across the street. Flyer singled them to change the song. This time louder so the whole street would hear.
Steve and the audience were both startled by the abrupt change in song and loudness.
Back. In. Time… Oh baby. Oh baby. Oh baby. My sweet baby. You're the one.
(Cue back in time pitbull.)
Having a sense of humor, the flyer decided to dance on the ledge; so did other jumpers.
Finally getting out of their stupor, the younger audience started to dance along with them.
Steve was very confused on how this could be accepted or could be normal. He saw some little kids who were with what to be looked like their older siblings, were dancing with them. Some of the teenagers were able to get some of the older folk to dance with them. Some were reluctant, but many of the teenagers were patience enough to dance slower with the older folk.
Steve didn't know if he should stop this wild chaos, or to let it continue. He was seeing right now, the young and the old. They are having fun, and enjoying each other company. With all this dancing, he finally noticed that the majority of the people put their techy stuff, so they could dance.
He glanced up at the flyer on the roof. He saw the flyer give a thumbs up to the buddies across the street. 'Was this their plan all along?' Steve questioned.
He was brought out of his musing, when he started to hear police sirens in the distance. Of course this happy setting would not last forever. This is usually what they call disturbance of the peace. People dancing on the side walk started to disband, while the jumpers looked at each other quickly. They decided as their farewell was to throw flower petals and confetti over the roofs to the side walk. They all shouted at the same time. "Be happy, and live life to the fullest!"
They started to disband when they saw the police cars get close. Steve saw them and was going to walk away quickly, but he noticed in the corner of his eye. He saw the flyer was trying to jump as quickly as possible to the bottom of the building, while using the fire escape.
Curiosity usually gets the better out of the best of people, Steve Rogers ended up being one of those people today.
Quickly he started to follow the sprinting kid down the edge of the ally way. He had to admit, the kid was fast. He still kept running after the kid, even if the police sirens kept on getting closer. He turned around to see that at least two police cars were still in pursuit. They also spotted the flyer and started the pursuit.
The flyer took a sharp turn that led to a very tiny park, which led away from the street. So the cars couldn't follow. Though both Steve and the police officers were resilient.
With a quick turn to see if how far the police officers were, he sighed when he saw they weren't very fit officers. They would take too long to catch the flyer. With that quick turn of the eye, he lost track of the flyer.
Looking left and right he started to slow down to a fast pace walk. The flyer was nowhere in sight.
He started to just walk aimlessly in the park path, hoping to find an idea where the flyer might have token off to.
Passing under a tiny bridge. Steve was about to give up on the wild goose chase.
"AAAHHHH! Move! Move!" He heard someone yell above him.
