Dad REALLY needed to figure out what "spending time with your kids" actually means. For some reason, he'd decided that "Yeah, bringing my kids to one of my product pitches/demos" or some shit was basically the same, despite that fact that half the time Red was stuck either in the meeting room watching his dad pitch his latest quirk support bullshit or stuck outside in a waiting room during the same pitches. His sister was so goddamn lucky he'd made up some event she had to go too, he'd taken one hell of a bullet here for her, she'd cope even worse than he was right now. Their dad's work was fuckin cool, but the dude worked on it so much he'd almost forget he had kids. Same with their mum, her research was some real ground breaking stuff, but they both spend so much time in the office/lab/workshop or whatever that Red and his sister had to A) Raise themselves and B) Bring them food/change of clothes/other shit they needed. Least when they actually took a break they were actually pretty decent at being parents.....maybe, Red didnt exactly have any other examples to cross reference, and breaks were fuckin rare. Least all their work made enough money for two teens to be able to live on their own relatively easily.
Either way, he was stuck sitting around AGAIN, while his dad was pitching some everyday quirker thing, he honestly didnt care what it was, it wasnt quirk support gear like his skates. He'd be interested if it was that, but it was rarely ever that these days. Might have been pitching a custom order service to this place too, Dad'd done that in literally every other place he'd been too.....it never worked. He'd started tapping his foot up and down on the floor, Red was gettin bored, when luckily, some secretary lady or something walked up to him.
"Excuse me, would you be Mr Hunters Son?" She asked him. Welp, they are either gonna kick me out or ask me to help demo the thing dads pitching.....something to do atleast. He thought to himself. "Aye, i am, why do you ask?" He answered, fully expecting for this scruffy kid in his school uniform to get asked politely to leave. Fortunatly, that didnt seem to be the case this time. "Well, due to Mr Hunter finding out about our testing rooms, he's asked if you would be allowed to use them during his meetings, and its been approved by the manager.....so if you would please follow me." She replied. "oh....okay then, please, lead the way" He said while getting behind the office lady, rubbing the back of his head and grinning a little. Dad, you're a beautiful bastard, i love ya. He inwardly thanked his dad. Whatever he'd done to bullshit this deal together was worth it, now Red had something to be besides sit around and wait this out.
He followed her for a while, down a few floors, and across a skybridge to some warehouse lookin place out back. Jesus christ this place is bigger than i thought. He mused, having walked around for a good 15-20 minutes at this point...and then they got to the testing area. There was a bunch of rooms available at the time, but the one he was lead too, and was obviously most interested in was the one labeled Mobility Course. The Office Lady turned to him, and told him that he could do whatever he wanted in there for as long as he wanted for the day, since his dads meetings and pitches and stuff were gonna take a while to properly conclude. "Please dont break anything while you are in there, thats all we ask of you" She asked him, clearly just wanting to go back to work or her break or whatever it was she was doing beforehand. "Thank you m-ma---ma'am, i promise i wont inconvinience you too much...i hope." Red Stuttered, he was still bad at talking to people, despite what had happened in the park a few weeks back. He still cringed a little thinking about it, but he could blame the head trauma....mostly.
Either way, the lady walked off after opening the door for him, and Red walked in what he thought was a goddamn paradise. The place was a hybrid between a skate park, a flying test thing, and an obstacle course. There were rails, half pipes, landing platforms, whatever you could think of, it was here. Reds eyes started pretty much exploding with excitement, he was gonna have one hell of a fun time in here. So he popped his skates, and got to work tricking all over the damn place. Plus, they'd said he could do WHATEVER HE WANTED while he was in here, so he could get some sneaky quirk practice too....not that they'd notice if he didnt do the big stuff anyway, was really hard to tell when he was actually using his quirk. Most people thought he just had a wind aura, Hence the always flowing hair and clothes, and that was it. Really helped him surprise people when they got decked in the face with a tiny, almost invisible wind blast.
Anyway, he'd promised he wouldnt break anything, so he'd just have to practice his skate tricks in conjunction with his quirk...and this place was perfect for that. He'd spend a good while just fucking around in here, grinding on things, doing flips and jumps, any trick he could think of. Eventually he decided to try and jump from one of the landing platforms to another, a pretty tricky jump to make, even with his quirk. So he burned out with his skates, generating for his quirk, boosted forward with his quirk, and popped an airblast out of his feet as he jumped from the very edge of the platform, extending his airtime as much as he could. He flipped though a few of the flight ring things on his way over, but he just didnt have enough air to cover the whole distance, even with everything he'd done. Didnt help that he also hit his head face-first on one of the hoop things while he was upside down, and was now falling rapidly to the ground.
"Welp, guess im making it to UA in a body cast". He joked to himself. He could probably stick the landing....probably.
