"Yes, right away," Keith replied. He ran through the halls of the building and up to the rooftop. He turned his jet pack on, sprinted towards the edge and took a flying leap off. The jet pack burst into life, immediately carrying him high above the city, in the distance he could see the burning building and the thick black smoke that was billowing out of it.
He took off in its general direction, aiming to be the first one on the scene. Not too long after something went wrong. Keith noticed his pack wasn't putting out as much thrust as usual, he was losing altitude fast. "Damn, whats wrong with this thing?," Keith said aloud, he had never encountered this problem before. And then abruptly the jet pack stopped working all together and Keith plummeted to the city below. He yelled in surprise, the sound lost in the wind rushing past his ears. He city was getting closer and closer by the second, he was going to land on the top of an apartment building.
Using his power he manipulated the air around him, attempting to cushion his fall. The impact was still pretty hard, but he would manage. He took off his helmet and pulled out his cellphone, thankful that it was still functioning. "Hello? This is Keith, there was a problem with the jet pack, I'm requesting a transporter to be sent to my location.". He told them where he was and dejectedly walked down the stairs leading into the apartment and out to the sidewalk, waiting for the vehicle while passerby gawked at Sky High sitting out in front of the building. "I'm going to be late, hopefully Blue Rose made it there at least...."
