Block listens to the request from Tiny, and sends back, "will do."
After Mr. X adds his bit, Block says into the local link - "Who said anything about 'jumping'? Ace, we need an alley or hidden entrance - some place private without so many lookie-lou's."
Assuming we find one (I see several decent candidates on Google Street view), Block starts to act sick (like he's going to throw up), then darts into the chosen spot. When Ace catches up, Block asks him:
"So, you ever flown?" And block cracks a huge grin. "It will take me a few seconds, but I can boost us both up there pretty easily." He looks up at the fire escape, then adds, "But I think it will be best if we climb most of the way.
With that, Block casts a Force 1 Levitate spell on Ace: (Casting pool 9 dice: 1,5,1,4,5,1,6,4,6. Drain Value of 1, Drain Resist pool 9 dice: 1,4,2,4,4,1,6,5,4).
Assuming that something does not go horribly wrong, Block levitates Ace up off the ground to the fire escape. After setting Ace down, he adds on the link, "I'll be up in a second. Start climbing, please, so I have a landing spot."
Block drops the spell on Ace, then casts the same on himself. (Force 1 Levitate, Casting pool 9 dice: 6,1,1,1,1,6,6,3,2, Drain Value 1, Drain Resist pool 9 dice: 5,6,3,6,6,3,6,5,2), and repeats the trip that Ace just made. Once up on the fire escape, Block cheats and "climbs" by flying a few inches off the stair steps, around and around all the way to the top.
If necessary, he goes all the way up to the roof using the spell, and then boosts Ace up there, too.
"Now that we're up here, let's pick the right place to look out from. I can only move you around like that if I have line of sight to you."
He waits for Ace to look around and pick his vantage point. He looks around, also, but only gets 3,4,6 on his Perception/Vision roll.
