Title: Fly
Pairings: Wonderbeetle
Summary: Cassie loved flying. Which was why she was trying to teach Jaime how to do just that.
….
Flying was Cassie's favorite power. Yes, strength was amazing. But flying, well.
Flying was freedom. Up in the air there were so many places you could go, so much you could do. To feel the wind rush through your hair and see the land below you zoom by – well, it was an amazing feeling.
Which was why she was currently helping Jaime Reyes get the hang of it.
The new member had only been on one mission and already shown that he wasn't great at, well, anything.
Not saying that his powers weren't cool – they were. Or that he wasn't a nice guy – he was. He was just very obviously new to the whole superhero thing.
"Okay, so you're going to want to try to balance – no! Try just hovering first – just think about staying there. Still. Without moving. Or crashing." She had been at it for hours, but he still didn't get even the most basic of stuff.
"Sorry." He said, "It's tell- I'm mean, it's like my instincts are telling me to do the opposite of what you tell me."
"It's okay." She sighed. "Maybe we can try this again tomorrow." He nodded, and then said, "How do you get down."
She gaped at him, and he smiled sheepishly. "Mostly I crash."
She laughed. "True. Okay. Just think down, and go slowly. Like, you know, slow down your jets." She pointed to his rocket wing things. He nodded, and started to lower himself.
At first it went well, but then Jaime started to wobble. "Stop!" he yelled, and his jets flickered off. He started to plummet to the ground.
"Jaime!" Cassie yelled, going down and grabbing him, and lowering him to the ground.
"Okay. So tomorrow, we're working on landing." She told him, and he chuckled awkwardly, nodding.
…..
I'm not even going to say it stank. Or that it was short. Or that it was almost late.
