The teen in a tan leather jacket, black jeans and her favorite soft soled boots walked around taking in the sights, paying a little more attention to the rooftops than most.  This wasn't either Star nor Gotham, that wasn't a problem with that.  She wanted to get away from her brothers and boyfriend long enough to actually think.  

"So, what would you guys do when you have really over protective people that are hampering what you really like to do?"  It was simple enough, because that's what had brought her there.  She needed the advice, and she really didn't want to go to her mentor, or heck any of the other adults about it.  Probably because she was already displaced in the world she was calling home, and didn't want to be more of a burden, not while she and her male counterpart were actually getting along, even if he was the one that had been the worst about trying to push her out of the family business.

“Okay! Sure thing!” He smiled. “There’s always plenty of space to set up in the plaza. I don’t think anyone would mind if we strung rope from one bench to another.”

No, Minoru didn’t actually know how trapeze worked. But he was happy and full of optimism, and made the suggestion anyway. (And he started small - as in benches and not buildings.)

"I was thinking a little higher when I get you on the ropes, but I'll have nets up to catch us. Which is why the floor routine first, so you know the basics. And I'll keep it so you can practice it without ropes, I saw enough rails here to make a skater happy, we can use those too."

"Hey, as long as I don't have to actually do it on skates, I can probably figure out the routine pretty quick."

His first attempt at freeskating (on roller skates) ended in a concussion. Jack and Harley made it look so easy, but balancing on wheels was a lot harder than it looked. Balthazar was teaching him how to skateboard, which was a lot easier to figure out. It also came with the bonus of being able to jump off rather than crash and burn.

She laughed. "I don't skate, I just abuse the skate parks to practice free running when my brothers aren't around." She grinned. "Sometimes I can get a better workout that way."

Minoru's grin screamed, 'been there, done that!' (Which was 100% true.) The Nexus needed a good skate park. Or if it had one, he needed to find out where it was and go there sometime.

"I'll catch you in a few days for my first lesson." he waved. This was going to be a lot of fun!

And who knew, it might just save his butt in a future American Ninja Warrior obstacle!
