It's a pain that you had to park so far away from the clinic. You guess they haven't actually spent that much on such trivialities (and from the few documentaries you think they aren't that well funded anyway) and seem to rely on a small lot infront (that was full) and parking meters up the road.
While you walk among the buildings, heading back to your car, you glance up at the facades around you. Earlier on today you were imagining jumping from roof to roof, or even flying over them! Now... who knows, maybe somehow your powers will help clean them!
Self absorbed as you are you don't notice the signs till a crash sends spatters of plaster from above you. Glancing up you see a garishly clad figure in a crater in the wall. It looks like he was thrown there. Wait, you recognise him. The blue and green clashing suit, the black goggles, the long black hair. It's the Scrambler!
As you stare up he shakes his head, flexes his rather impressive muscles and flies off the wall. Tracing his motion you see him smash into a group of three figures on the rooftop a block down the road.
For a moment you pause, but maybe you could could help? Scrambler is hardly an 'All American Hero', more of a good vigilante, but he is still a hero in a lot of people's eyes. You see the flare of his energy pulse scatter the green figure around him all asundry.
Taking the plunge you decide you can at least get closer to see what's going on. Dashing across the street you head up to the building he is fighting atop, taking larger and larger strides as you test your new muscles. As the Doc said it's a little more tricky slowing down and you find yourself skidding to a halt just infront of the building, landing in a heap on the sidewalk.
Above another crash sounds and you glance up.
