"There you go, officers," Ryan landed down in front of the Timely Bank and Trust, the two would-be bank-robbers encased in hard-to-break coils of cosmic energy. He'd been there to grab some cash for a haircut when the two dunderheads had decided to try and rob the place.
Seriously, who even robs banks in New York anymore? Between all of the various superhero groups - and they were on their third generation of heroes now, really - it was one of the stupidest things to do.
"Thank you...Lucent Lad?" The officer looked up at Ryan, raising an eyebrow.
"Stellar, actually," Ryan replied with a grin. It was designed to hold back a grimace."Lucent Lad was too...dorky." That had been the name he'd chosen for himself back when he and his brother Jacob had first moved back to New York and...no. He'd changed the codename soon thereafter. Sadly, though, some people still remembered it. "Anyway, though! Money's back in the safe. They're all checking to make sure things balance. I gotta jet but, you know. You might wanna tell these knuckleheads that robbing banks in New York is so eighteen-hundreds."
With a wave, he flew back up into the air, relishing the feel of the rushing wind against his face. When he was high enough, he turned away from midtown and headed towards his stylists' place, lost in thought.
A lot had happened in the last couple of weeks, it felt like. Remi and Alexa had given birth to their baby. The Pier had been attacked by a group of villains. He'd had some auditions that had gone really well, and others that had gone less so. (But he was doing a small thing off-Broadway, so that was nice.)
He sometimes wondered what it'd be like to settle down and start a family of his own but, realistically, he was far from ready for that. There was so much he still had to do, so much he still had to experience. So much growing he still had left to do. It worked for people like Remi and Alexa, but for people like Ryan...
Not yet.
He landed in front of his stylist's realized he still had an hour to kill before he went in.
Heh. Oops. He flew over the street and landed in front of the coffee shop that was directly opposite the salon. Coffee and a muffin couldn't hurt...

Jay shook his head. "As long as he doesn't burn the hot dogs again, he can join in the reindeer games."

Alisa had been a thing that had just happened. A one-night stand that had led to something more.
More than Ryan had bargained for, certainly.
He thanked whatever gods were paying attention to his little corner of the universe for Mellie.
"Funny how it only started out with four," Ryan said, offhandedly. "Now there's an entire family of us."

He reached over and patted Ryan's shoulder. "That's what families do. They get bigger. We just happen to have one of the best extended ones."

That needed to change.

"Uh, me? I'm not all that interesting." He hadn't really gone out much since rampaging. Though he was eating regularly now and working out regularly again.
