[Light and buildings pass by the recording eye of the berry, a soft sort of snore coming through as the image lazily floats higher and higher. Everything seems odd and peaceful..if a strange choice of video until a sudden bump.

A lurch and then a scream, loud enough to reverberate through the ships core.]

What the Hell!

[Sorry, Lois, Apollo is trying not to laugh. Watching a first time flier is kind of hilarious to someone who's been doing it for his entire life (Or, well, the parts of his life that he actually remembers.)]

You look like you could use some help.

[Hey, leave her alone, this stuff is hard.]

This isn't funny.

[video]

[tochasethesun]

It's a little funny. [Gdi Kara he's not actually making fun of her! :C He is nice guy. Just. Amused.]

[video]

[kneelessboots]

[She's still scowling at you buddy.]

You have no idea what this feels like. Leave her alone.

[video]

[tochasethesun]

[Just raising an eyebrow.] You actually have no idea if I know what it feels like or not. Just because flying is hard the first time doesn't mean it's not a little funny.

[See him, Kara? He's floating off the ground. DON'T YOU FEEL SILLY?]

[video]

[kneelessboots]

[Yes :(]

... I'm going to go help her.

[video]

[tochasethesun]

I'll be by soon too.

Help, help would be good. I am assuming this is easier than I am making it out to be.

But the ground is really uncomfortably far away right now. Words of advice?

[video]

[tochasethesun]

[Through light, though not mocking, laughter:] Calm down, freaking out is just going to make it worse.

Close your eyes, will yourself down. I'll be there in a second.

[Lois fixes him with a look]

You realize telling someone that freaking out makes things worse only makes things worse, right?

[video]

[tochasethesun]

I mean it! You're not going to fall, I promise. Your body will catch you.

[by_lois_lane]

Ok.

[She liked Apollo, she trusted him. Lois tried to will herself calm an see herself moving downward. Did it work? She peeked through tightly closed lids, she did seem to be moving]

Oh....I think it's working.

[tochasethesun]

[And it isn't too much longer before Apollo finds her. It's pretty easy when not many people around here fly on a regular basis. It seems to come naturally to him.]

Of course. It's like walking - once you learn how, it comes naturally.

Walking puts you so much closer to the ground though.

[She seemed to be getting better, more stable, more under control though. Still had shaky moments where she'd invert or nearly so]

I'm used to be the one watching this. It's...it's terrifying and..the most amazing feeling all at once.

[action]

[tochasethesun]

But flying puts you so much closer to the sun. [He sounds like he actually relishes the thought, doing a little spin mid-air.]

Focus on how amazing it feels, not how scared you are. You know yourself, you know you won't let yourself fall.

[When Apollo did that spin, when his smile and voice were just that way she could see he knew exactly what she meant. She could also see this was what he was truly meant for. She was borrowing these powers for the week...but he.. he was supposed to be like this. It was sort of breathtaking really.]

You're pretty fearless aren't you?
