For the most part, being a hero wasn’t so bad really. It was a deeply ingrained part of her nature to help people, with the development of her powers Angelica just felt that drive all the more. However not everything was great. She was still trying to become used to the whole being a public figure thing.

Her new existence still had some things for her to work through and get used to. Something that today would be the center of. She had been politely asked to be part of a publicity stunt today. Some sort of meet and greet. Angel really didn’t want to do this but couldn’t find a way to actually say no. That was how she found herself now circling over a small crowd. Alright she was wrong, it wasn’t a small crowd. But she would manage somehow.

As she circled lower and lower people started to notice her above them, notice as the sun caught in the feathers of her wings and cast a shadow down below. She honestly didn’t know who else was supposed to join here at this but she had been told someone would.

There was a stage in the front where the crowd was kept away from by a small security grate of some sort and Angel decided maybe that would be a good place for her to touch down. With that thought she angled her wings and started her descent, her flowing blue robelike dress flapping in the wind as she moved. Her bare feet touching down on the stage after several moments to the cheers of the gathered crowd. She gave a slightly timid wave as camera flashes went off all around.

"Oh, jeez, have these clothes shrunk or I've got bigger?", Alexandra asked a joking and quite rhetorical question, while trying to get into her tight hero bodysuit, "Seriously, I need to have more exercise. Or less pizza."

Meanwhile, an assistant walked in to the backstage dressing room where 'Skyscraper' was trying to squeeze herself into the costume. "Ten minutes, ma'am", the young woman said on a subtle voice, apparently still in awe on the fact that she's got to work with real flesh-and-blood superheroes.

"Alright, alright.", Alex replied with a grin, as she finally managed to get into her catsuit, and stood up to get a drink of mineral water, then combed her hair into a ponytail, and put on some lipstick, "I hope this won't be some silly freak show...", she said, rather just to herself than out loud.

When they asked her to participate in this so-called 'superhero public meet-up' or whatever this publicity stunt actually is, they told her this whole stuff is serving charity purposes, and everything will be donated to the public fund the Hero Program maintains to help victims of Metahuman crimes and things like that. That made Alex agree to participate, despite the fact that she knew the whole thing will be a huge media attraction, and she'll be shown around like some - literally huge - celebrity, or more likely some rare kind of animal. It won't be so bad, afterall, she shrugged when she agreed to show up tonight, some limelight won't hurt. The only thing which actually bothered her was that the organizers asked her to 'get large'. Quite literally. They wanted 'Skyscaper' to appear as a giant, wave down at the tiny crowd and get on the stage which will probably be the size of a kitty litter box or something to her in that stature.

"So... I walk outside a get big, right?", she asked the girl on a not-so-impressed voice and a shrug. The girl nodded, as Alex got ready to show herself to the public, making a final check-up on her costume, before stepping outside. It still seemed so tight, she hoped it won't suffocate in it. She was sure all those tiny guys will be gazing at her butt and boobs during the whole event.

Alex quickly walked out of the backstage using the back door, and then, out on the street, in the bright daylight, which almost blinded her at first glance, she closed her eyes and concentrated on getting larger. A few seconds later, when she opened her eyes, she stood about 60 ft tall. She was now literally a giant, standing among the buildings like if she were in some small model town or something. Everything was downsized from her perspective, which made her grin, as she looked down at the tiny crowd below. Slowly, and careful not to crush anything, she walked towards the stage, as she heard a loud cheering noise. The crowd was apparently thrilled by the sudden surprise appearance of the gigantic hero, as they all cheered and shouted in her direction, looking up. Alex smiled and waved towards the small, 6-inch tall people below, as she slowly made her way towards the stage, which was large enough for her to fit in, next to the other, not-so-gigantic superheroes. She heard the flashlights of photographers buzzing around like bees and saw TV crew aiming their cameras at her, as she passed by them, keeping on the carefully made walkway made for her (and other heroes) to make their entrance, carefully blocked away from the crowd. Again, she didn't want to crush anyone, afterall.

While she waited for another hero to appear Angel slowly tucked in her wings as much as they could, though they were still highly visible and stuck several feet over her head. She was reminding herself to smile and wave though right now she was just feeling nervous.

What she hadn’t expected was to see a literal giant step out of nowhere from behind the building. In surprise her wings unfolded slightly. Angel knew it was expected for them to take photos together but how? Well there was one way.

Looking around herself Angel made sure no one was too close as she fully unfurled her wings. A few flaps later and she was airborne. Her wings working furiously to gain altitude and position her so she could speak to the giant hero.

She did her best to not feel like a buzzing fly to the woman but Angel couldn’t exactly hover, she had to settle on this sort of figure eight pattern of flight near the other hero as she called out. “Hello, I take it you were picked to be part of this circus as well? I’m called Angel.” She gave the strange hero a small wave as she flew wondering just what they were thinking having her and the other hero work together for this meet and greet.
