Perspective is Ki (Young Justice/DBZ, Male OC)

Chapter Seven

Philadelphia, 7:37 PM.
May 9th, 2010.

Aiden was downtown, getting a late second dinner when he received a text from an unknown number.

"Patrol. You down? Same place we met, Eight." Aiden murmured out loud.

Enkidu obviously, or someone pretending to be her if he was being exceptionally paranoid. He had told her he would join her the next time, and if he blew her off this time, he likely wouldn't receive another invite.

Aiden looked down at his teriyaki and sighed, looks like he would be getting fast food at whatever was open after midnight. He settled up his check before heading back towards the rooftop, assuming she had meant there and not down in the alleyway. It was at least a ten-minute walk from where he was, so he took it at a leisurely pace thinking.

Patrol. He should probably have found something to conceal his identity, running around in a suit would look pretty strange. Then again, what were they going to do? Arrest him for running around at night in a suit? It wasn't like there was a curfew, and he could just push all the blame on Enkidu if something actually went down, her identity was still secure.

He should probably still wear a mask, at least.

"Superman, what are you doing here?" Enkidu said incredulously.

Aiden rolled his eyes behind the dollar store mask before planting his fists on his hips and thrusting his chest out.

"I've come to fight crime," Aiden said cheerfully, "With my cute little sidekick, Enki!"

"You're the sidekick here," Enkidu said, amused. "Besides, I've already seen your face, and I am definitely older than you."

"I'm twenty-six," Aiden scoffed, "How old are you, eighteen on your best day?"

Enkidu let out a startled laugh.

"Nineteen actually," Enkidu said, annoyed, "There is no way your twenty-six, I refused to believe it."

Aiden grinned at her from behind supermans heroic smile.

"Come on then sidekick," Aiden said triumphantly, "Let's go clean up this city!"

"You're the sidekick." Enkidu shot back with a laugh before she turned and sprinted across the rooftop.

Aiden took off after her, she was far faster than any human he had ever seen before, and the leap that carried her from the rooftop, across the road, and onto the next building showed her strength was easily above it as well. Aiden himself cleared the jump easily, the landing was a little bit rougher given his lack of experience with this kind of thing, but it was easy.

The feeling of flying was amazing, he knew, even just gliding around in his apartment sometimes put him in a good mood for the rest of the day, but this was something else entirely. Judging the distance to the next building, he leaped after Enkidu again, and this time when he touched down, it was a seamless transition back into running.

Aiden grinned, jumping through the air, no safety net beneath him, it was a rush that he hoped he never got used to.

"Why are you cackling like a villain?" Enkidu said, bemused, "Am I going to have to take you in?"

"Sorry, the first time I've been able to really test out what I can do properly," Aiden laughed, "It's a lot more fun then I expected."

"Fun?" Enkidu murmured to herself, but he still managed to hear it. "I suppose it does feel pretty good."

Aiden grinned to himself as they cleared the next building, spreading his focus out around him to sense the locations of everyone nearby. His Ki-sense had increased in range slowly since he had first discovered it, and when he was focusing on it, he could extend that range pretty deep into the city.
