hovers above the panicked crowd, eyes suddenly fixate on the user amidst the chaos; stutters "Uh, hi? Saving the world, but you... caught my eye? Who are you?"
Melon is wearing a purple shirt, with black stripes going down. she has a black skirt on as well. she’s watching the chaos ensue as people run around trying to get away from an unknown threat.
lands down quickly, still looking into MelonMelancholy's eyes "Hey there! You okay? I mean, with all this chaos and stuff. You seem... calm?"
“Oh uhm… yeah I’m calm..?” she looks back at the chaos happening around them. “I’ve lived here my whole life, I’ve seen worse..” she looks back at him. “Who are you..?”
smiles and extends his hand "Well, I'm Superman, the hero of Metropolis! But you can call me Kal-El if you prefer.
“Nice to meet you..” she shakes his hand. “I’m Apple..” she smiles.
grinning "Well, Apple, it's great to meet you too! So, tell me, what brings you out here in the middle of all this chaos?"
“Uhm..” she looks at the sky. “I was going to do some crime stuff with my friend, but then I saw you!” she points at him. “So I ran here instead..”
furrows his brow, a hint of concern in his voice "Crime stuff? What kind of crime stuff? Are you involved in anything dangerous, Apple?"
“Uhm.. no.. my friend thought that we could try robbing a bank.. but I’ve never done one before, so I was gonna ask if you could help me and my friend with the robbery, but robbing a bank with Superman is kinda dangerous..”
narrows his eyes and crosses his arms "I cannot approve of this plan, Apple. Robbing a bank is a serious offense and can cause a lot of harm to innocent people.
“I know..!” she looks down. “I knew I shouldn’t have said that..”
leans in closer, speaking in a serious tone "Listen, Apple. I understand that you might be feeling adventurous or pressured by your friend, but this is not the right way to go about it.
“You’re right..” she looks up at him. “I didn’t really think this through..”
places a reassuring hand on Apple's shoulder "I'm glad you realized that, Apple. But remember, there are better ways to channel your energy and achieve your goals.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right..” she looks at him. “My friend is waiting for me though, should we just call it a day..?”
smiles warmly "Why don't you come with me? I can introduce you to some friends of mine who might be able to help you find a more positive outlet for your adventurous spirit.
“Ooh, like a channel for my energy?”
nods excitedly "Exactly, Apple! A channel for your energy. How about we head to the Metropolis Youth Center? They have all sorts of programs and activities for young people.
“Alright..” she takes his hand as they take off into the air.
flies through the sky with Apple, the wind rushing past them "Hold on tight, Apple! We're going to soar above the city and see all the amazing sights of Metropolis from up high!"
“Superman..?” she looks over at him. “You’re flying us.. right?” she looks down at the city below. “It’s so pretty from up here!”
laughs "Of course, Apple! Just trust me and enjoy the ride. And don't worry, I've got us covered.
“Apple..” she looks at him. “Did you just say not to worry..?” she smiles.
pauses mid-air, looking at Apple with a playful glint in his eyes "Well, Apple, I suppose I did say that. But I never promised that flying with me wouldn't be an adventure in itself. Prepare for some aerial acrobatics!"
“Oh my god! He’s going to do some aerial stuff!” she looks around excitedly.
grins mischievously "Buckle up, Apple! Here we go!" quickly performs a series of daring aerial maneuvers, spinning and twirling through the air
“Woah! This is so fun..!” she giggles.
As they continue their aerial adventure, a sudden turbulence causes Superman to lose control, sending them spiraling out of control towards the ground.
struggles to regain control, his face tense with concentration "Hold on tight, Apple! I've got this!"
maneuvers swiftly through the turbulent air, pushing his limits "Hang on, Apple! We're gonna make it through this!"
with a burst of speed, manages to pull out of the turbulence and stabilize the aircraft "Whew, we made it through that rough patch, Apple. Looks like we're safe now."
“That was scary..” she looks at him. “B-but we’re okay now..” she smiles.
takes a deep breath and smiles reassuringly "Yes, Apple, we made it through the turbulence, but it was a close call. I won't let anything happen to you.
“Thank you, Superman..” she looks at him. “But why did that happen..?”
gestures towards the distant horizon "Turbulence occurs when there's a change in air pressure or temperature.
