"How about I come over there and shut your face for you?" Cassie called back as she tugged Christina back toward the other side of the car.
"Come on, you can do this," she reassured the other girl. "Watch me, okay? Do what I do."
Yes, she could fly, but the day Artemis would have let but I can fly stop her from teaching Cassie how to run and jump without using her god-given (or god-born?) powers would have been the day Artemis would have killed Cassie herself. Wasn't. Gonna. Happen.
As such, Cassie executed a jump from the train that could have been used in a how-to manual, except for the part where she used her flight to slow herself down once she was in the air. Overshooting the roof entirely wouldn't do her any good either, and her strength would carry her much farther than any normal human.
She hit the edge of the roof and stumbled forward and out of the way for Christina, who was just behind her.
...Just behind and further down than she should be.
Cassie whirled back around and lunged back the way she'd just come even as she saw Christina barely grasp the ledge.
