April Showers, April Foolishness
Will was a busy bee the last week or so. With the end of the huge fight and everyone come back to life, Will has been doing extra duty. He was Shazam, after all, and it wouldn't be right to *not* do it. He skipped his birthday and didn't much care. He was saving the world after all, and it didn't seem right for him to celebrate when he had so much to do.

When the end of March finally came, he found himself with less to do. With the help of the heroes and the world, much (not all, but a lot) of what needed to be done was done. And now he had time to think of a certain day that was coming up. April 1st.

Avias birthday.

Will was frantic in his search for some place to take her, and when he found the place in Philadelphia he was ecstatic. And it was in between Fawcett and where Avia lived in Connecticut. So Will called with the information.

And so, Will waits outside a place called the "Ethical Carnie" restaurant.

"How do you mean?"

The moment it left his lips, Will thought about it. Wasn't Avia pretty well known for...well, that?

Avia fought back a giggle. "In spite of the fact that I spent a lot of time doing the horizontal mambo," she said, "I really do enjoy philosophizin' and hearing people talkin' and sharin' ideas. I'm not all just about the wild thing."

Will thinks about this (and tries to ignore the whole "horzontal mambo" part) and nods.

"I get that. It's good to talk and hear people out."

Will took a drink of his soda.

"I mean, there's gotta be a reason why you're a hero. If you only were interested in that you wouldn't be interested in helping anyone."

Avia sipped at her own soda. "Yeah. Mom and Dad always taught me and Hope both to share our gifts with the world. She beats people up, and I try to expand their awareness. ...With a little bit of beating up when it becomes necessary."

Will chuckles a bit at that one.

"And I know you bring a lot of attention to the things you support with that stage show I met you at. That's doing some good, too."

She smiles. "Thanks," she says. "I'm just doing what I can."

Will put his hand on hers. It just feels right.

"Any little bit, right?"

"Any little bit," Avia agrees. "Too many people say "it's not my problem" or "what can I do." But not me. And not us hero-types in general either."

"I would hope not us. It's our job."

Will squeezes Avias hand, as if to reassure her.

"And you do it in more ways than just beating the tar out of who you fight. That takes something special, Avia."

Was she blushing? Avia believes she is. She can't remember the last time she found herself quite so tongue-tied.

"Aw... thanks, Will."

Before Will can say anything, dinner is delivered, nice and cheesy and meaty.

"Lets eat before the Jokerz come back."

Avia laughs. "Right now, I think if they come back, they'll have to wait until I'm finished eating."

Will takes a bite, and then nods.

"D'm. Is goohd."

Will begins chewing, savoring the tasty cheesesteak he is eating while not trying to show too much of the stuff in his mouth.

Avia's eyes widened in mock surprise. "Did you just swear? I didn't think you knew words like that!"

Will swallows.

"Damn isn't that bad of a word, m'lady. The knights honor is not besmirched."

Then he sticks his tongue out.

For once in her life, Avia actually didn't suggest that besmirching could come later. Did she want to? Absolutely. But in this case, well, slow seemed to be the better way to go.

She stuck her own tongue out. "Issat so? Well, I can dig it."

Will laughs at the exchange. Here he is, now seventeen, and he's sticking his tongue at someone.

Of course, the person just returned the favor, and a woman who moves about on her own and does things across the country.

As Will continues, he moves his hand up. Instead of just putting his hand on top of Avias, he moves to intertwine the two.

Avia offers no resistance and even aids in the intertwining of their hands.

She looks into his eyes, and smiles.

And Will smiles back.

He could get used to this.

Oh yeah. Feeling groovy.

"So," Avia ventures, feeling brave. "You wanna go steady?"

Well, now there were no words for this. His heart was thumping, and the words just kinda sat there on his mind.

Go steady? As in...date?

After this finally sank it (it felt like hours, but had to have been no more than a minute or so) Will got the nerve to talk.

"S-s-ure. If you want to."

"Wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it, Will," Avia tells him. For just a moment, she'd been worried she'd really broken him.

"Just call me your girl."

[info]geekgreek
2011-04-05 11:02 pm UTC (link)
And with that, Wills face broke into a huge grin.

"Wow. This...this is a first."

The grip on Avias hand tightens. This has certainly been a great April Fools for Will.
