'Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.'

My Nano was gonna be based on these lyrics! In tribute I am going to write ficlets (that ignore Millicanon) about Milliways teen superheroes. Except this will probably be the only one I get done. Oh well.



Steph told Ben (and she sounded disappointed about it) that he couldn't bring his lightsaber. Fine, he thought. He could do with the unarmed combat practice. And he could still use the Force, she'd said, so this would still be a relaxing way to blow off steam, right?

He's just jumped his tenth rooftop and he's starting to think he was being optimistic. They've stopped five muggings, two robberies and broken up something Steph called a meth lab, and he thinks he's seen all of Gotham already and then some. He's drawing on the Force to keep the tiredness from his face, not to mention absorb the pain of what he hopes is just a sprained ankle.

Steph -- Steph who doesn't have the Force or super strength or enhanced healing or any powers at all -- doesn't even look a little winded.

She grins at him. "You need a caffeine run, Skywalker?"

He scowls. "No, I'm good."

"You sure? There's a Starbucks, like, two blocks down. You look like a caramel latte kinda guy."

Ben, still in Coruscant mode, assumes she means down vertically and glances over the edge of the building. "What kinda caf d'you think he drinks?"

Steph peers over to see the guy climbing through a broken window and grins back at Ben. "A face punch macchiato. C'mon--"

And she jumps.

Ben takes a deep breath and follows her.
