Fake Batman is Underwhelmed

Thursday evening

Damian Eli
Cuervo made his way down the street his cape was flittering behind him slightly. Damian wasn't sure how to exactly start his career as Cuervo, but he had to start somewhere an earpiece in his cowl was broadcasting the Police radio into his ear. He assumed he didn't look out of place in a city filled with Evos. He was quite content with how his armor felt though it felt like he was just wearing an extra set of clothes besides that, it was like it wasn't there. "I think it's time to do some testing" he said to himself as he removed the grapple gun from his right hip and aimed at a building across the street and fired a small hiss emitted from the device as the heavy-duty metal coil sprung out from the barrel and attached itself firmly to the roof across from him. "And now I just-" his words, we're cut short as he thumbed the button that pulled him up and towards the roof. He hit the side of the building with a crunch and wheeze in pain. Thankfully the armor took most of the damage for him, but he was still winded. With a slight struggle, he managed to crawl onto the roof and stand up looking down hoping nobody saw that. "It looks way easier in the movies" He thought to himself as he collected the grappling gun and retracted the coil back inside. He then just laid on the roof thinking about how he just fucked that up. After a few moments Damien looked at the device in his hand he had probably miscalculated the angle of the shot. He'd have to practice more with that but for now, he needed off this roof. Despite appearances, the cape at the moment was more for appearance so "gliding down" was not an option. He stood up with a sigh and placed the grappling gun at his right hip again and looked at the height of the building he was on and the ground below him. "Hmm. That's...ten feet? I should probably just oh fuck it" He muttered taking a few steps back from the edge and started into a sprint before leaping off the roof and tucking into a roll before he hit the ground. Unlike the movies, he did not pop right back up on his feet he instead just kind of laid on his back again groaning the armor took all the damage for him but that doesn't mean he didn't hurt. He stood up again after being on his ass for the second time that evening as he realized he was in the shitty area...with a thousand-dollar power suit on. "I really need to think this shift through"[Type: 2 Normal -3 EP]
Cuervo sighed at the relative unsuccess at the night and his grapple hook. "I feel like this was supposed to be way cooler. But instead, it was underwhelming... like life" He kept his head down and kept walking out of the area and towards his apartment like a sad child who figured out what real life was.
