Crossing the Aerial Bridge

I planted my boots firmly onto the steel conduit flange, absorbing the drop with bent knees. No hesitation. Balancing my weight against the chill of the galvanized metal, I traversed the narrow conduit straight across the empty alley below. Reaching the neighboring rooftop, I pulled myself onto the weathered gravel-tar surface. Right beside an industrial junction box, a loose copper grounding wire hung free, its stripped tip glinting under the distant halogen glow. I reached out and tapped the exposed strand with my aluminum forearm shield. A crisp, grounding pulse clicked through the metal. I made the crossing, cleanly claiming the next sector of the roofline. #DCComics #DC #Staticshock #StaticShock(DCComics)
