Who: Markus and Morgan
Where: The streets of NY
When: Backdated to 25th Nov, post b'day party
What: Morgan and Markus explore the city in a whole new way
Status: On-going
Warnings: Mush and heights





The party at the ice rink had been a lot of fun, despite his fear of making a total idiot of himself. Markus had learned that he spent less time on his ass when he had a barrier to hold on to. Even with Morgan-styled distractions. He didn't spend the entire time on his feet, but that was to be expected, given his lack of experience. It was possible he might have tripped once or twice simply to see Morgan's laugh, which was beautiful to see.

Once the party wrapped up and farewells had been exchanged, he took Morgan's hand and led her to where he'd left Moriarty. "Where did you stash your suit?" Markus asked as he gave her a quick hug, noticing the ring she'd worn on her finger and smiling. It looked good on her and knowing she'd worn it made him smile and feel... proud? It was a new emotion and one that he suspected mean he liked Morgan showing their bond to the world. "Have you had a good day so far?" he asked as he helped her up behind him and started the engine. "I hope you're ready for the after-party. This city is amazing for free-running," he told her with a happy glint in his eye, "and I can't wait to share it with you."

Morgan's birthday party was everything she wanted. After the wedding, she didn't suspect anyone would have been up for another huge event, and she really wouldn't have wanted anything too extravagant, to begin with. Just something small with her family, friends, and Markus.

It delighted her to see Markus on the ice again, and she had indeed laughed every time he fell- despite her efforts to not be distracting.

She hugged both of her parents and thanked them for the millionth time, before allowing Markus to lead her to their bike. "It's neatly compacted and stashed away in my bag, just waiting patiently to be deployed." Morgan was somehow made more aware of the ring she wore on her finger while he held her hand. She couldn't put into words how much his gifts meant to her. She felt as if she would always have him with her, even when they were apart. The girl never intended to take it off. Returning his hug, she leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek. "The best day," she answered with a smile, before putting her helmet on over her head, and climbing up onto Moriarty behind Markus. "But I've been looking forward to this all day. I can't wait to see the city through your eyes...and climbing?"

Morgan still wasn't entirely sure what he had in store for her. She had a vague idea- especially when he mentioned free-running, but saying that she was intrigued would be an understatement.

Markus gave the bag a suspicious look and then smiled Morgan's way. "Did I ever tell you that you're a damn genius?" he asked with raised eyebrows. "I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing in action," he told her happily, knowing they were both in store for some surprises tonight. Her kiss was a sweet surprise, which told him even more than the words that the day had made her happy. "Me too," Markus replied softly. "I love seeing you with your family, even if your dad glares my way on occasion," he told her with a teasing smile. In all honesty, her friends and family had been more accepting than he could ever have hoped, which made him feel all the more lucky for meeting Morgan. "This is starting to become a bad habit, running off together after parties," he said with a chuckle, "but I've been excited all day knowing we're heading into the city tonight."

He pulled off once Morgan was settled safely and headed towards the centre of town, scanning the surrounding buildings for likely spots to climb. With all the fire-escapes the apartment buildings didn't prove much of a challenge, and he wasn't going to insult Morgan by taking it easy on her. She had her suit and would be totally safe - probably more-so than he would be. "Here," he said finally as he pulled up in front of an office block and adjacent skyscraper. "We can warm up using the roof and when we're ready give that a little attention," Markus said nodding towards the glass and metal with gleaming eyes.

"So do I get to see the famous suit now?" he asked as he dismounted and glanced back at the bag, wondering if Morgan knew how curious he really was about her powers. In some ways it would make her more like him and Markus couldn't help wonder if he could transmit ideas and thoughts to her in the same way he could other androids... but that was a thought for later.

"I am pretty awesome, but you may have mentioned it once or twice," she replied with a smirk that turned into a bright smile. "And I can't wait to see another one of these secret talents you've been hiding." Markus surprised her with how well he could dance, and she thought back briefly to the way he had waltzed her around his living room. "I love having all of you with me. Glares from my Dad and all." It felt like her heart was complete when they were all together. "And it's a bad habit that I intend on keeping." She would run off with him any time, after-parties or not.

Morgan pulled her helmet off as they stopped in front of the office block, looking up around her. "Here," she asked a little breathlessly, untangling herself from him to stand on solid ground and turn her eyes upward. When she saw the way his eyes were gleaming, she looked toward the skyscraper. Oh, yes. This was going to be quite the adventure.

Tearing her gaze away from the skyline, she turned to him with another smile. He was so excited to see her suit, and that made her ridiculously happy. As far as material things went, it was her proudest achievement, and the notion that while wearing it, she would be more like him hadn't escaped her. Suddenly she was very thankful that she hadn't found him in the maze; it would have taken away from this moment. "I suppose you've waited long enough," she teased.

Crouching down to rummage through her bag, Morgan slipped familiar gloves onto her hands. He would recognize them from the times she had produced holograms for him, but this time there were two. Winking again, her eyes met his before she held both arms out to her sides and spread her fingers. With that little flick of her wrists, her body was surrounded by purple and silver titanium alloy. It began at her arms and worked its way down to her legs like she was being hugged from behind. And when it was completely done, she propelled herself off of the ground- making one loop around the buildings before landing behind him and retracting her helmet again so Markus could see her face. "Tada!"

"I tell you often so that you don't forget," Markus answered, happy to see her smiling. He quickly ran through his varied talents and cocked his head, "I wouldn't say I've been hiding things," he said with a grin, "the time just hasn't quite been right yet. We have plenty of time to explore each other's talents, though," he assured Morgan. "I can tell you love it," Markus answered softly, "it's like you come alive when you're surrounded by so much love. It's like magic," and being part of it was like being pulled into the spell. He'd happily endure the glares in order to see her in her element, so long as he could whisk her away afterwards for their own adventures.

He could tell she was teasing him a little and making him wait for the big reveal and Markus loved her all the more for it. She'd made it clear what the suit meant to her and now Morgan was going to share it with him. It felt to him as though it was his birthday rather than hers, with the greatest gift to be revealed. "I've definitely waited long enough," he said nodding enthusiastically.

Markus stood back, giving her space to work her magic. He knew the gloves all too well and adored what they could do, but until now he'd only seen one at a time. Now they unleashed a whole different surprise and he watched open-mouthed as Morgan seemed to be swallowed by the silver and purple metal. It was hypnotising to watch and when she was fully encased Morgan darted into the air as though she weighed less than nothing. His eyes lit up as he watched her twist and turn through the city and when she came back to him he slipped his arms around her and kissed her deeply. "Tada is right. That is incredible. I want to do that!" Markus told her with a gesture towards the sky, his eyes never leaving hers. "We are going to have a lot of fun with that," he said running his fingers over the surface of her forearms.

"Come on," he said with a gentle tug at her hand, "let's play a little." Markus darted towards the office block and set his programming to scan the building for the most impressive way to the roof. He couldn't fly but he could leap impossible gaps and use the enviornment to spring higher into the air. He spun around bars, using the momentum to force him higher still until he dropped onto the roof in a crouch and waited for Morgan to join him.

Markus' reaction was everything she could have hoped for and more, and when his lips met hers, she sighed happily, kissing him just as deeply. "I can take you with me, you know," she murmured, brushing her nose against his playfully. "That's one of the suits' many perks. Super strength." Reaching to cup his cheek, she waggled her eyebrows at him. "We're going to have so much fun."

Morgan was practically giddy as Markus tugged on her hand, and then he was using his surroundings to propel himself into the air. For a few moments, all she could do was watch him. It was almost as if she were in an awestruck trance. So this was what he had been talking about. This was Markus in his element, and it was absolutely wonderful- beautiful even.

When he reached the roof, she slid her helmet back down over her head and used her suit's programming to map out the most effective way for her to replicate what he had done, without causing structural damage. Once she was confident in her route, she grinned to herself and took to the air, using some of the same bars he had to spin around and avoiding windows. Once she reached the roof, her helmet disappeared again, and she threw herself into his arms. It was her turn to press her breathless lips to his. "That was amazing. You're amazing. I could do this forever with you."

He broke into a broad grin and laughed when Morgan told him about the super strength. "You know you can't take that back now, right?" Markus told her happily returning the Eskimo kiss. "It's definitely happening. Soon," he said as his eyes flitted across the rooftops, wondering just how high they could go. Yeah, they were going to have fun and knowing that Morgan had the strength backing her up made him even more excited about their current adventure.

Markus watched from the rooftop as he saw Morgan scan the surroundings too, knowing that similar calculations were going on inside her head as he'd done, which made him tingle with excitement. It made sense to him, in that moment, that he'd found her - fallen deeply in love with her - because with that incredible suit, Morgan saw the world as he did. That she saw him as almost human, or at the very least as much like her as he could be, was everything to him. They made sense. As he watched her progress up to the top of the building he laughed and when she finally joined him and kissed him he felt as breathless as she did. "I think it's what we're made for," Markus said as he matched her excitement. "This. Forever. Seems like the best possible plan," he said happily.

It took a lot of effort to step out of Morgan's embrace, but there was more to see here. Even as he let his hand trace the length of her arm, keeping contact with her for as long as possible, he was judging the trajectory it would take him to jump and catch an outcrop of the skyscraper in front of them. With a smile at Morgan he took off once more and hit his mark, catapulting him towards the glass and metal as he readied himself for the impact. There were scant millimetres of purchase for fingers and toes, but Markus felt like he could make any jump with Morgan watching. As he caught his target he looked back with a grin, knowing she'd be beside him in a second. Already he was planning the next edition of their comic-story, filled with action and high-jinx, and love.

"Oh, I have zero intentions on taking any of that back." The excitement in Markus' voice when he exclaimed that he wanted to fly, had sealed the deal for her. It was the best and most freeing feeling in the world. Whenever the chaos in Morgan's brain got to be too much for her, she took to the sky. Much like with skating, she could forget everything. None of her worries existed in the air, and she wanted nothing more than to share that with Markus.

Morgan could almost feel her heart flutter at his words. He was always able to envoke these feelings within her so effortlessly. At times it was hard for her to believe that he was real, that she had actually found someone who was her perfect match in every way. He understood the way her brain worked and possessed the ability to calm her fears with just a few simple words. It was almost as if they were made for each other. She had already considered that thought before, but being with him here now? Experiencing this new adventure? Well, it somehow made her feel closer to him. "This. You and I. Forever."

She wanted to protest as he pulled away. She managed to curb that impulse, however, even if she allowed her arms to linger around his neck as long as possible. But, then, he was leaping through the air again, and she couldn't keep her eyes off of him. This was better than she could have ever imagined, and she was quick to have her suit map out the best route for her. The skyscraper would be trickier with so many windows and so few places for her to get a sturdy grip, but she was bound and determined- especially when Markus was grinning at her the way he was. With a deep breath, she took her leap, bracing for impact and missing her target by mere centimeters."Shit", she swore to herself, only free-falling for a fraction of a second before her repulsors lit up around her palms- stabilizing her and shooting her upward.

Maybe her ego had gotten the better of her, it wouldn't be the first time, but she flew up to hover beside him. "Take two," she exclaimed- reaching for a spot where she could steady herself. She could have quickly soared to the top to wait for him, but Morgan wasn't one to give up on a challenge.

Markus hadn't felt quite this alive since he'd led the first peaceful protest in Detroit. It had been a moment when he'd thought he could change the world without bloodshed and it had been the most freeing of feelings. This, though, here with Morgan topped it and he suspected that, unlike his home world, they would remain as happy as happy as they felt right now. Maybe even more-so. How one person could impact his life so completely was miraculous to him and that she was willing to take him flying with her was an experience he couldn't wait for. "We can sore to even greater heights," Markus said with a wry smirk at the pun, though he couldn't control the happiness in his voice as he said it.

Forever was a long time, especially for an android, but Markus was willing. "I think you and I are going to spend most of forever trying to surprise one another," he said as he gently ran his fingers through her hair. "Can't wait for the next one," he told Morgan with a broad smile.

There was a moment as he watched her when his programming recognised that she'd slightly misjudged the leap and despite the knowledge that Morgan's suit was more than equipped to deal with the error his hand shot out in an attempt to catch her. Markus' fingers missed by millimetres and he felt instant fear as he watched her drop. A moment later Morgan pulled out of the fall and started to fly towards him. He knew she had this; was more than capable of dealing with a building and so very much more. It hadn't stopped him being terrified, though.

"You scared the shit out of me," Markus said softly as he shifted to reach for her hand and brush it tenderly, "which is dumb, I know." He took a moment to pull himself together before beginning the slow climb towards the top of the building. Markus couldn't help show off a little as he clung to impossible holds and found routes that shouldn't allow him access. "We should do a base jump one day," he said looking to Morgan to lighten the mood. "You made falling look incredibly sexy," he teased as they progressed.

Morgan realized that she was still young and that the concept of forever could be viewed as idealistic coming from her, but she didn't care. She believed with every fiber of her being that they were meant to find each other, and she couldn't imagine her life without him now. "Of course we are. It's what we do best," she replied with a grin before leaning her head against his hand.

"I'm sorry," she replied- matching Markus' soft tone and brushing her fingers over his. "It's not dumb. Me getting too cocky was dumb. I'm sorry I scared you."

Once they began climbing again, it was hard for Morgan to tear her eyes away from him. Suddenly she felt like Markus on the ice, easily distracted and bound to fumble because of it. "Oh yeah? Because I was just thinking the same thing about you- sans the falling. I don't think I'm allowed to tease you about Morgan distractions after this," she teased and tried to focus on the building. "Because, damn. I get it now."

His eyes brightened at the thought of the two of them vying for the best surprises and wondered if Morgan knew that she'd already won. Hands down, she was the most incredible surprise of his life. "I think we have a lot to look forward to," he told her happily. "I couldn't love you more," he told her as her cheek nestled his hand.

He shook his head, "nothing to be sorry for. You can be as cocky as you like if you can fly," Markus said with a sly smile. "Which is pretty damn cool, by the way." It'd been the first time he'd actually seen her fly and if his heart hadn't been in his mouth it would have been breathtaking for different reasons. That she'd created the suit too was an incredible achievement that told him more about his girlfriend than simple words could say.

Markus laughed and looked back with a grin, "so there are now Markus distractions too? I like that we're playing on an even field here!" He led her towards the summit where the wind was buffeting both them and the building and with one eye on Morgan's progress and one tracking his own he said, "let me know when you've had enough. Climbing and distracting," he said with a chuckle that almost got lost on the air. "I'm looking forward to you taking me down the quick way," Markus told her with a glint in his eyes.

"I think so too. Although I'm not entirely sure I can top today, or the comic books." Morgan was so incredibly happy. She never thought she would experience this kind of happiness. It was the kind that only existed in fairytales like her parents' story, and as her hand moved to cover the one rested against her cheek, she turned to press a kiss to his palm. "Even if you tried? Because I know that feeling all too well. I love you so much, Markus."

"Being too cocky leads to the falling, being able to fly or not, I should learn to reel in the confidence." She smiled inside her suit, though. Morgan couldn't help but feel giddy at how amazed he was with her work. She was pretty damn proud of that suit, even if she was always overthinking ways to improve it. "Not as cool as you doing this without a safety net."

"There are definitely Markus distractions." To be honest, he was always distracting. Even when they were apart, he found a way into her thoughts, but this was a whole new variety of diversion. Morgan marveled at the fact that he made his climbing look so effortless, it damn near left her breathless, and she wasn't ever going to forget this day. She laughed joyfully as the wind whipped around them. "I'll never have enough of the distracting, but if you're ready to fly, all you have to do is say the word."

"Issue 2, coming to a door-jam near you soon," he told her with a wiggle of his eyebrows. Hell, how could he not draw this? Or the wedding after-party? Markus already had a few pages drafted out and was ready to assemble them, with the addition of a few new pages. Something told him this was a series that would run and run. "Well it's possible I can try to love you more. It'll be tough, though," he told Morgan with a soft smile.

"I love that you put your all into every situation," Markus said with a small nod, "so long as you're safe it's a good thing." It was amazing to him that Morgan had taken to this like a duck to water and that she liked it was more than he could have hoped for. "I do have a safety net," Markus answered tapping his head with a smile. "My programming allows me to run the scenario first, to make sure it's worth the risk, then gives me timings," he told her. "And now I've totally spoiled the magic," he said with a laugh.

"There are definitely Morgan distractions too, but you've trained me well on the ice and I think I'm coping admirably," he answered Morgan, letting her know he was equally happy with the current view. Markus looked up at the building and frowned. "I'm conflicted. On the one hand I really want to do the flying thing but on the other it might be fun to go from the top?" he looked over at Morgan and grinned, "you choose. It's not much further, but you could also fly me to the top."

"I can't wait for Issue 2." That comic was one of her most cherished possessions. She didn't think she would ever put into words what it meant to her. "It's a good thing we both like a challenge then," she teased with a scrunch of her nose.

"Leave it to you to turn what I consider one of my flaws into something practical." Morgan laughed, her movements slow as they scaled the building. She didn't want to fall again, despite her safety net. "Totally ruined the magic," she teased. In reality, however, he hadn't spoiled it. If anything, it just served to fascinate her more. Markus was a beautiful creation.

"I knew I was an incredible teacher." She laughed again and curbed the impulse to reach out and touch him. Although they were both happy with their respective views and distractions, she didn't need to add more to the equation- at least not when they were suspended hundreds of feet above the ground. Morgan could see how conflicted he was, and she began climbing again. "To the top, we go." Perhaps she was hoping he would want to finish the climb. It would be quite an achievement for her.

"I don't think you're going to be disappointed," he said with a gentle smile. It was something he loved doing too, because it brought the memories they'd created together to life and showed Morgan just how important their time together was to him. That it also gave Markus time to ruminate on her didn't hurt either. "Oh, I definitely love a challenge," he answered with a laugh, "probably why I love you quite so much," he kissed the tip of her scrunched nose and smiled.

"You have flaws?" Markus answered with a teasing smile, "cause I hadn't noticed any. Not a one," he told her. Technically he knew that Morgan couldn't be perfect, but she was perfect for him and that was all he saw when he looked at her. He watched as she took the climb in her stride, though more carefully now she knew the dangers. It was smart and calculated and Markus couldn't fault her technique, which gave him a glow of happiness. "Sorry about that," he answered with a chuckle, "but I can't tell a lie." At least, not to Morgan.

Markus laughed and flashed her a teasing smirk, "you are a most excellent teacher, though I think I'm better at controlling Morgan distractions than I am at standing on frozen water." He knew he'd be doing a fair bit more of it in the future, though, because Morgan loved it and that meant he wanted to share it with her. Markus was secretly delighted that she chose to finish the climb and answered with a happy nod. In the same way he hadn't wanted the skating programmed into him, it seemed Morgan didn't want to take the easy way out either and he admired that hugely. Instead of showing off now, he led her up via a tricky but manageable route that would test her skills without putting her in harm's way.

By the time they got to the top, Markus was feeling the strain and he could only imagine that Morgan's muscles would be sore the next day. As he pulled himself up over the edge of the building he flashed her a smile, "I'm proud of you," he said as he offered her a hand up as soon as he was on solid ground.

"I find it hard to believe that anything you could do would ever disappoint me." Morgan looked up at him with a soft smile before her eyebrow arched in amusement. "I'm a challenge?" The girl absolutely loved that they could go from tender moments to playful banter within a blink of an eye.

"Markus, I love you, but I have several flaws." She loved that he didn't see them, though. One of her most significant flaws was that she tended to overthink every single little thing, and when this happened, sometimes, she tried to push people away. Morgan didn't want to do that with Markus, As happy as he made her, and he made her deliriously happy, she was still afraid she might do something to screw this up. Morgan tried not to think about any of that just now, though, because today was meant to be a happy one. So, instead, she focused on the skyscraper and Markus.

Oh yes. Morgan's muscles were definitely going to make her pay for today, but it was completely worth it. She took his hand and pulled herself up onto the roof, retracting her helmet to marvel down at the great height that they climbed. "I can't believe I did that," she said breathlessly before turning to wrap her arms around him. "Thank you. This was incredible. You are incredible."

He never wanted to disappoint her, but Markus knew it would happen at some point. However high they flew together there would always some bumps along the road. He'd take it, though. All of it. "Oh, you are totally a challenge," Markus answered with a grin, loving that she took his teasing with good grace and returned it with affection. "How is this news to you? You have met you, haven't you?" he asked with a wicked grin before kissing her softly.

"Everyone has flaws," he answered with a nod, "but your flaws and my flaws fit together and cancel each other out. Which is why you're perfect," Markus said happily. Okay, maybe that was overly sentimental, but it was how Morgan made him feel and if he'd learned one thing already it was that he had nothing to hide. Not his deepest fears, nor his most tender emotions. With her he could just be.

He returned her hug happily, loving the sense of achievement on her face as she saw how far she'd come. "You did so well," Markus told her spinning her around in his arms. "Hey, you did it, not me!" he reminded Morgan as he glanced down, "and I love that you loved it," he told her. "Soo..." Markus' eyebrow raised mischievously, "...are you going to show me the sights your way now?" he asked with a flutter of anticipation. "Cause I'm not the only one with talents in this partnership!"

Morgan couldn't help but smirk, perhaps entirely too pleased with herself. "I have met me, and am quite the fan, I guess I just need a little more detail on how I'm a challenge." She was in complete tease mode now, but a tiny part of her was curious. That wicked grin of his may have done her in, but then he was kissing her, and for a moment she forgot about everything else.

She felt her cheeks flush, and her heart flutter. The effect his words always had on her was a welcomed feeling; they made her realize just how much she loved him. "I'm not the perfect one, Markus. You are," she replied softly.

Morgan laughed as he spun her around, clinging tightly to him. "I couldn't have done it without you," she cooed happily. "I loved it so much, and I want to do a bigger building next time." The mischievous look on his face made her smile. She was so excited to share flying with him. "I can fly you around the whole city, if you're ready."

"You are not the only fan," Markus said with a laugh, loving the smirk she gave him and the confidence of her response. Hell, he was more than just a fan at this point, he was heavily invested. "Well, you don't let me out the easy way in any given situation," he replied, knowing that said more about him than her. "You challenge me and I like it. Don't ever stop," he told Morgan with a wiggle of his eyebrows.

Markus shook his head and grinned, "I'm by no means perfect." He'd started a revolution in his world, which had torn lives and worlds apart! Perhaps he'd done it for the right reasons, but he'd been forced to make hard choices. "I think we make a pretty perfect team, though," he said meeting Morgan's eyes smiling.

"If you'd wanted to you could," he was certain of Morgan's ability to accomplish anything, should she so wish. "I just gave you a nudge and you were amazing! Which I suspect might be a theme," Markus gave her another tight squeeze of love. "It's a good thing we live in Manhattan, huh? We have such an abundance of fun ahead," he told her happily. Markus couldn't help his excitement at the possibilities ahead, especially the parts that involved flying. "I was made ready," he told her standing back and holding his arms wide, "just tell me where you want me and let's fly!"

Morgan's smirk turned into a grin as he explained why she was a challenge. "Of course, I don't. There is zero fun in taking the easy route. I want you to feel accomplished in every situation." She gave Markus a playful nudge, then. "I like that I challenge you, and have no intentions of ever stopping."

"Now, you see, that is where we will disagree, but I accept the counter that we are the perfect team."

"Perhaps you're right, but I would have never come up with this idea myself. Thank you for sharing this with me." It was indeed a good thing they lived in Manhattan. There wouldn't be any shortage of buildings for them to conquer together, and the thought made her smile. "Alright, Handsome," she cooed playfully before moving to stand behind him and wrap her arms around his waist.

Before allowing her helmet to cover her head again, she pressed a kiss to the back of his neck and whispered, "here we go." With that, she shot off into the air, holding onto him tightly- hoping he loved flying as much as she did climbing.

"If that's you're goal, you are doing a fantastic job," Markus said with all sincerity as he playfully wrinkled his nose as he'd seen Morgan done so very often. "I hope I challenge you a little in return," he answered with a quirk of his eyebrow, "otherwise I'm going to require an update."

He wasn't surprised that Morgan agreed with him. They each had so many insecurities, but somehow when they were together none of it mattered.

"Thank you for wanting to share it with me," Markus answered, knowing that not everyone would have been so lucky as to have a partner so daring. The thought made him ecstatically happy, that somehow he'd found this woman with whom he could share both his fears and passions with. When she slipped behind him and curled her body to his, he smiled even brighter, "and now I'm wondering how I hold on. It's a good thing I trust you not to drop me," he teased.

The kiss was both affection and assurance, he felt it and braced himself for a moment before the momentum sped them into the sky. "Holy shit," he managed, the air stealing the words and leaving them far behind as the two of them soared higher. Markus looked down and for a moment felt emotion catch in his throat as he starred down at their world. They home. "It's so beautiful up here," he told Morgan in barely a whisper. "This is incredible, Morgan. I love it!"

She reached to tap his nose when it wrinkled. "No update required, Markus. I assure you that you are equally challenging."

She couldn't think of a single thing she wouldn't want to share with Markus. She truly believed that what they had was perfect. Morgan knew it wouldn't always be easy, she was sure there would be more trying times in their future, but she would take it all. The good. The bad. All of it. "In the highly unlikely event that I did drop you, I would catch you," she teased right back.

Morgan laughed joyously at his reaction as she flew them a little lower, zooming in and out and around the buildings of the city. She was so happy that he loved it, and found it as beautiful of an experience as she did. She made an entire loop around Goodland, passing Stark Industries and Ostrich's Villa before landing gently where Moriarty was parked.

Reluctantly untangling her arms away from his waist, her suit unwrapped from her body- retracting into her gloves. "Soooo," she asked with a quirk of her lips.

"You know..." Markus said with a hint of laughter, "...dropping and catching me could add an incredibly fun element to the free-running," he said looking back at Morgan. She'd fly and he'd aim and attempt to catch her and if he missed, well no problem, because his incredible and talented girlfriend would catch him before any harm came to him.

He loved the feeling of being so free, seeing the city and doing so with Morgan made it all the better. It filled him with a sense of wonder that he couldn't quite verbalise that was more to do with the talent it took to enable this than the flight itself. Markus couldn't help but point to landmarks as they flew passed, laughing as they swooped in and out of the buildings and eventually arrived back home.

"Soo..." he said as he stepped towards her, tracing the path of the suit as it retracted until his fingers were touching Morgan's. "You're even more amazing than I ever imagined," Markus told her with a bewildered smile. "Apart from the experience, my mind is fizzing with how many calculations you'd need to make in such a short amount of time and..." he stepped towards her, "...and I should be kissing you right now and not talking." It might have taken a moment to get there, but when he got the message he got it!
