than just a little from my strong mental connection with mindviews being so close.
I grinned. "Thanks guys. I've been getting paranoid that you'll dump me for Razorwing."
Jim said, "He's pretty cool, we're looking some things up for him now. Some might help you as well."
Mike said, "But we won't drop you. He seems to want to be a good guy too - or at least a vigilante."
I said, "Thanks. However, we're still meeting Diva, so let's go. Neither of you are afraid of heights, are you?"
Jim said, "Not here."
Mike said, "Umm, well...."
I put my arm around his waist. "No biggie, I'll help you with that."
Once outside I concentrated on spreading calm until my skin tingled all over. Jim's excitement drained a bit, but Mike's obvious trepidation disappeared. I slid my arms around both of their waists. I felt this immense urge to press my body up against them, but with two of them, it just wouldn't work. I pulled them tight against each side, stepped up and pushed off my invisible air step and we began floating upward.
I almost burst out laughing at the thoughts of the two guys. Neither had ever had a girl press up against them, much less stay in contact with them for any length of time. Fortunately, neither was extremely susceptible to my unintentional pheromones. Some people tended to dig their noses in my hair or neck when they got close to me.
I pushed off a few more times to rise up slightly faster, and then jabbed my knee up a little to kick in some speed. It only took us a minute to arrive over the cafe. The boys were torn between looking around the city and staring at me from only inches away. I caught the thoughts where both noticed how the light glinted off my metallic golden hair more in the natural sunlight than under the manmade lighting in the University buildings.
I kept us hovering in the air a few hundred feet while we waited for Diva to arrive.
I said, "Keep an eye to the west or southwest, Diva will probably fly in from that direction."
Jim was breathless as he said, "Flying is awesome. Why don’t you have to crush us against you to keep us up?"
“It’s something to do with my flight, holding stuff seems to be easier when I fly.”
“That’s cool. You got a good flight power.”
I nodded, "Yeah, I really like it. Plus, it just works - and doesn't cause me the same trouble my other powers do at times."
I spotted the flash of purple in the sky.
I nodded in that direction and said, "Guys, there."
In a second Mike said, "I see her."
Diva flew up to us like I normally do - facing her head and shoulders in the direction she was flying. She displayed an impressive amount of cleavage as she approached - something both of the boys noticed at quite some distance.
She pulled up to us and stopped while hovering in the air.
She raised an eyebrow and said, "Hi goldie. Running with an escort today?"
I grinned, "Apparently it takes two to keep me happy. Shall we head down for food?"
Jim nodded but didn't say anything. Mike just stared at Diva.
I shook my head and stepped down a few times to float downward. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Diva cock her head off to the side as she watched my motion before she began floating down above us.
I tried to ignore the mindviews of the two boys as I brought us to a smooth landing with a few stepping-down motions. Diva came down shortly, bumping hard on the ground even though she wasn't moving extremely fast. I saw her try to match my stepping motions just before she hit the ground.
After standing up straight she said, "Pfah. I don't get how you land like that."
I replied, "You have a different way of thinking about how you speed up and slow down. I heard your thoughts - you were concentrating on shifting gears, as if you were in a car. I use physical motions to control my speed and direction. It could be either a mental handicap, or we just have slightly different flight powers."
