hesnoheroHe was running, letting himself have a moment of all out pushing and energy. he ran through the streets, his eyes alert and looking. And when he spotted what he was looking for, he sprang into action. He sprinted forward across the street, leaped, grabbed the end of the fire escape and swung up to the bottom rung, spider-climbing up fast to the first level, then running, grabbing the rails and leaping.
Alex was already running as he landed on the top of the eighteen wheeler that was passing and he ran down the front of it to the front edge just as it passed the traffic light and leaped again. His hands locked on the heavy bar and he swung up to the top of it, running carefully but quickly along it, to the end where it ran to the ground and jumping again, this time to a low hanging windowsill, which was wide enough to let him bounce and flip upward to the overhanging gargoyle, grip it, work his way up, and flip to the roof, and keep running.
Alex smiled as he ran, and jumped the small gap between one roof to the other and leaped to grab a line, his gloves letting him grip it and slide down the heavy cord, and jump down to the street again, landing next to a hot dog vendor. He pulled out a $20 dollar bill and handed it over to the astonished woman. "Two Angus dogs with the works, please."
He grinned as he looked around, and stretched. That had been fun!
He took his change and the dogs a minute later, walking down the street as he devoured them.
Then Alex was off, running, leaping to grab a new handhold and swarm up a fire escape, ad leaping to a new roof, flipping over a chimney and coming down on a new roof...and almost smacking into someone else.
"Agh! Sorry! Holy shit!"
