Mapping the Outer Grid

I scaled the outermost steel bracket where the balcony railing joins the metal fire escape stairs. The mid-day sun beat directly onto the painted iron, warming the rungs under my boots. With the button-cell safe in my pocket and my tab buckler braced tight, I scanned the lower gap. Right below me, a stout cable conduit bridged the brick wall across toward the neighboring rooftop. I leaned forward against the angled steel corner, gauging the drop and measuring the distance. One well-timed step onto the conduit flange opens an entire expressway across the block. My perimeter just doubled. #DCComics #Staticshock #DC
