The kids filed into the building, hatching a plan inside their minds. Gabriel bent down to unlock the bike rack while Dariush sifted through his head to find the code. "Alright, they gave us a code at registration." He listed off the numbers,'"It's six-six-nine."

Gabriel shifted the numbers around, in multiple wrong orders, never being able to find the code that worked. Felicity furrowed her brows and peeked over his shoulder, setting her hand on it to see. He gulped, giving a glance to her hand before he glared back down at the lock nervously.

"Hurry up, dude. Come one." Dariush ushered Gabriel, his voice getting more annoyed and perisistent,"It's six-six-nine." Gabriel muttered to himself, listing off the numbers. "Dude, what're you talking about-" Gabriel rustles the chains, hoping it would work,"-I said six-six-nine. Come on, man. Dude, hurry up! Just put it in there." A moment passed,"What are you? Dumb?"

Gabriel dropped his hand with the lock in it, snapping his gaze up to Dariush."I'm not dumb." Felicity gently wiggled the lock from his fingers.

"Here Gabriel, let us help." She leaned next to him, this time crouching down be next to him. Felicity shot a look over at Dariush, he read it well, nodding to her and then inspecting the bikes.

"I want this one," he sniffed and wiped his nose,"Its got a wakanda forever sticker."

After they all got their bikes, they filed out again with their handles clutched in the hands. Felicity glanced behind her,"Alex? What's wrong, dude?" Her brows furrowed as she watched her friend fidget under everyone's gazed, suddenly she felt bad for turning all the attention to him.

He daughter her eyes, his drooped guility and he shuffled his feet in embarrassment. "I can't go with you."

Felicity quirked her brow,"What type of horseshit is this? You have to."

"I can't." Alex strongly laid down what he was saying, crossing his arms in an 'X' and shaking his head.

"Why not?" Felicity probed, turning to fully face him with the bike resting against her side.

"I can't ride a bike,"Alex admitted, his voice shaky,"I never learned." There was a collective sigh, Dariush flung his arm out in exasperation. "It's okay," Alex reassured them,"You guys can go without me."

"Cool, we out." Dariush said, reading a peace sign as he hobbled onto his bike.

Gabriel smacked his arm, "Dude, no. We for back down to your camp and everyone left you, how did that make you feel?"

------------------

Felicity walked between Alex and Dariush, dressed in a new outfit she preferred to the last one. She had jeans on instead of khaki shorts that kept her from furthering her chub rub and she dug out a hoodie from a corner that read I'm with stupid and had an arrow pointed down to where her dick would be. Zhenzhen had questioned it, but Felicity thought everyone should know she's smarter than the average pecker.

Gabriel gave them direct orders to help Alex learn how to ride a bike,"Alright. You get on the one side of Alex and you get on the other, and we'll get him up to speed." Felicity went to her respective side and sent Alex a reassuring smile. He looked constipated with concern of the plan. Zhenzhen placed her hand over his and smiled at him too.

"I won't let you fall.'

Felicity's hopeless romantic heart melted at this and she grinned silently to herself as she gazed at the road sign. "LA, here we come. I wonder if David Dobrik is still alive."

Dariush fell behind them, hesitant to go into the city. He glared at the road signs for a minute before caving in and hustling after his friends. They stood in a line when he reached them. Dariush bustled himself back into his old spot while they put on their helmets, the click of the latches signaling they would -- maybe -- be safe.

"Let's do this."

As they rode the kids felt free, the wind blasting against their faces as they glided down the hill. Felicity grinned, her hand latched onto Alex for his support. She felt her bangs being blown aside and she squinted her eyes through the dusty gusts of wind.

"I-I don't know if I can do this," Alex stuttered out, his knuckles were white from how tight he was gripping the handle bars. Felicity laughed, her hand letting go of him.

"Alex!" He glanced back at her, his eyes widening as he saw her hands on her own handle bars and not on him. "You're already doing it!"

The kids whooped and hollered for their friend, momentarily forgetting that the world around them was decaying into shit. Dariush highfield Felicity, Felicity reached over and fist bumped Zhenzhen. Felicity raised her hands off the handlebars, spreading her arms out like wings on a bird. Her eyes were wide open, marvelous baby blues gazing around the scenery. Gabriel glanced over at her and was immediately entranced, the flush across her cheeks, the grin stretched tight across her face. Her hair whipped around where it poked out from under the helmet and her bangs were wonky. She looked beautiful.

He smiled to himself, turning back at the last second to witness Alex take a terrible tumble. Felicity's hands went back to her handle bars, as she picked up speed to reach him quick. "Alex!"

Zhenzhen did this too, concern immediately lacing her voice. "Alex?" The two girls dropped to their knees by the red headed boy, Zhenzhen moved his head around while Felicity poked his side with her finger.

"Yo, is he dead?" Dariush asked, peering over Felicity's shoulder. She glared at him.

"No, you off brand cocopuff." She stood up and wiped off her knees,"he's not Eddie Kidd, give him a second. Alex, dude, you alright?"

"You okay?" Zhenzhen reiterated after Alex blinked open his eyes. She bent down watching him completely ignore her and watch something in the distance,"You okay,"

Felicity followed his line of sight, taking in the disastrous scene in front of them. "Holy shit."
