"Hello, super-fans!"
THWUM! THWUM!
The deep bass of each bounce of his body heralded his arrival, a blue blur effortlessly performing a daring drop down the side of two skyscrapers to raucous applause. Whenever noticed by ordinary passers-by, Ricochet was sure to steal the spotlight, acrobatically dazzling pedestrians with a display of physics-breaking movement that appeared to combine the durability of a ragdoll with the twisting sensibilities of a master aerialist. Whenever a limb, his head, or his back boinged against an enormous glass window, it simply shimmered for a moment, vibrating as he flipped away from whatever surface he'd just tapped -
- painlessly dropping onto the pavement in a laid-back stance, hands behind his head as though he were enjoying the Sun. The final impact against the street caused him to boing straight back up about ten feet in the air; he finished with a flip before landing on his feet, fists balled at each side of his hips as phone cameras flashed and onlookers cheered in amusement.
Ah, Manhattan.
"I don't carry pens, but if anyone's got one, I'd do a few autographs," he laughed. It was a disarmingly ordinary voice, not the baritone rumble of Total Experience, but not nervous either. The internet called it "The voice of a guy you could get a beer with, maybe some pretzels too, or something."
Beautiful day. Sunny. No crime. Neat.
Yeah, that'll last, but he kept the thought to himself. That was, well, why he was here.
