Sixteen had absolutely no idea why these people were chasing her, but she didn't have time to pummel them into the ground. Seventeen could be dying or something, she didn't really know, but she needed to get back to their hideout and hook him up to his manual self repair station before...
Sixteen didn't know what deadline she even had, so she picked up the pace and took several shortcuts to the Shanghai tower, it isn't that far away, which was so lucky Sixteen wondered how it happened.
Tripping over slightly, she knocked over a trash can behind her to stop her pursuers.
They must be trying to take her back in there, they must've been guarding the exit.
The girl leapt over an open sewer and made her way towards the back alleys, she was more likely to lose them, but also more likely to get lost.
Again.
Seventeen whimpered, a strangled breath bubbling up.
"Don't worry, I'm almost there."
Hopefully the wings Seventeen made were easy to use, because she had not the slightest clue as to how they could work.
He had said that they could be an extension of yourself, just imagine how they'd work and it'll suit your mind's ideas and thoughts. That's the same way he had gotten his arm and ear to work, the technology was beyond impressive, and that came with people trying to take his things apart for stuff.
Research? Money? Possible invincibility?
She didn't know, but Sixteen was not going to let whoever worked in that facility take her friend apart for anything, no matter what.
In her haste she slipped over a puddle, throwing her off balance once more.
It was like everything was trying to slow her down to keep her from advancing to the-
There it is!
"Okay, c'mon wings. It shouldn't be that hard to do." She jumped, flailing pathetically before landing on the ground, "Rats! Try again, how do they work?"
She jumped again, this time, they spluttered and held up, much to her delight.
"Yes! Yes! Now make my way back to the top.." Sixteen watched the wings beep twice before adjusting the angles, as if getting ready for something, "Uh..Up? Oh no.."
The people were almost here, "Wait!" the female called, "We're not here to catch you! We were going to help you!"
"Uhhh, um...Well, I would love to chat and all, but I gotta like...help this guy wake up.. I'm not afraid of you, cuz' I'm perfectly capable of winning a fight against you lot, but he's in danger so..yeah, can't come down."
"Well that was the most dodgy explanation ever." Eighteen groaned, "Just come down before the real enemies see you flying!"
"I don't know how to use these, he made them."
"You can't get down?!"
"Nope.. and I think they're doing something.."
Primary Thrusters Engaged.
"Huh?"
Spontaneous Ascent Countdown Started.

Ready To Launch.
"I have no idea what that means.."
In the blink of an eye, the wings pulled back into a diving position and shot her upwards faster than she could comprehend.
