Dance. Dance. Dance. Just dance.
Maria hadn't planned on keeping her dancing job at The Diamond Room but it had proved to pay well in more than just one way. Sure the cash was great, but the information she was getting out of Tony "The Nose" Bucco and the Gambino crime family was worth more than the cash. The Huntress used the information to take as many of those bastards and their associates off the streets as possible. There was also the cash and jewels she stole from them as well. That money helped pay for her equipment and the rest was donated to the various charities around Gotham.

She heard Candy Star introduced and she headed for the stage.

	One more blast of super breath sends the last rolling and tumbling along the floor to crash into the wall, while helping clear the smoke from the room. "Now then, gentlemen, you're all under arrest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress kicked the second man on the floor and broke his nose as well. She hated mobsters. "If it's any consolation, you did put up some respectable resistance," she quipped. She pulled out a few pairs of handcuffs and started putting them on the mobsters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon assists with the effort, monitoring heartbeats and breathing to make sure people are as unconcious or incapacitated as they seem while she cuffs them. Got to make sure there's no nasty surprises. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you want to do the honors of calling the cops?" she asked as she slipped another pair of cuffs on another man. Maria carried quite a few pairs for...work, yeah. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I'll do that. Thanks for the tip - we seem to work well together. Somehow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress smiled. "We do. Who would have thunk it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Though next time, if your tip is going to lead to a strip club or something, you could give me some warning." he replies - though its mostly amused at this point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And ruin the surprise? Perish the thought," Huntress said with a chuckle. "Have the fun is keeping you on your toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He rolls his eyes. "Why do I have a feeling the next surprise is going to be even more of a shock to the system?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-23 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Because you kn...." Huntress didn't get to finish her sentence since the cops made a timely arrival. She stepped back and let Jon handle this part. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He does indeed have a knack with the police, talking to them, and turning over evidence against the men - without much question as to his source or how it was obtained. After all - its Superboy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Huntress just watched the going-ons. She did make a note of the cute cops. Maybe she'd look them up at a later date. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon wraps up with the cops, and agrees to testify as needed. When finished, he looks Maria's way to see if she's heading off on her own, or wants to join him. Otherwise, he can't get out of here soon enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hungry?" she asked when the cops escorted their prisoners out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Starving. Burgers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds perfect," she said with a smile. "I just need to change into something more appropriate. Mind giving a girl a lift home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-23 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Not at all. Hold on." he replies, picking her up and heading back towards her place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-23 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Huntress wrapped her arms around his neck and held on tightly. It wasn't that she didn't trust him or was afraid of heights, she'd use any excuse to get closer. The trip was short and Maria did a quick change into civvies in front of Jon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Despite knowing she wouldn't mind, and all he just ended up seeing, he still looks away, politely, while she changes. Chivalry in the face of adversity! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All set," she said. "Though you were supposed to peek." She loved teasing him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-23 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Incorrigible. You just gave me a lapdance to maintain your cover, and you're already trying to catch me peeking?" he teases, rolling with it, with only a little blush. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"This is different," she said as they left her studio apartment. "We were both keeping cover before. Now, well you were being you and not looking. Not to mention blushing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"This is the point where I mention you were being you, and trying to corrupt me." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She hooked an arm around his as they walked. "Is it working? I mean a girl has to know if her efforts are getting somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 01:18 am UTC (link)
	He hooks his arm with hers. "I don't know, is it good news that I'm not sure whether to be in dread of whatever you have next, or very secretly kind of looking forward to it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
