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.

	"Hungry?" she asked when the cops escorted their prisoners out. (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)

	"Not at all. Hold on." he replies, picking her up and heading back towards her place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 01:20 am UTC (link)
	"I think it's good to be a little of both," she said. "It keeps you more down to Earth with the rest of us and keeps you a little human." "Admit it. You like me keeping you on your toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"You know, I kind of do. You're entertaining, and you're right, down to earth has its benefits." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"I knew it!" She may have done a little happy wiggle cause a happy dance was a little harder holding onto his arm. "Can't always have your head up in the clouds. Though flying on your own power must be pretty nice. I'm glad I met you Jon Kent. In a way you help keep me grounded." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 02:00 am UTC (link)
	He smirks. "Keep wiggling like that, I might be forced to peek next time." Can't just let her make him blush without responding now and then, after all. "I'm glad I met you too. Tricky, at times, but I think you're good for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Of course a comment like that did make her wiggle some more. Just because. "You mean like that?" she smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 02:11 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, kind of like that." he agrees. Should have seen that one coming. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 02:13 am UTC (link)
	A blind man would have seen that one coming. Maria laughed and leaned against his shoulder. "Fun night. We should do that again sometime soon, but now feed me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Which part, that pole dancing, the lap dance, or the fight? And regardless, at least we can agree on hamburgers." he replies, heading for one of the few spots in Gotham he knows. At the very least, if he's going to spend any time in a city at all, he'll figure out where the good burger joints are. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 11:11 am UTC (link)
	"All three?" she suggested with a laugh. She leaned against his shoulders. There were definitely worse ways to spend an evening. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 02:16 pm UTC (link)
	After what came before, he finds he doesn't mind. She's still rather 'fast' for him, but as friends, even friends with some snuggling, and apparently determined nudity involved, he can sort of keep up. "Fair enough." He still blushes a little, but not quite as bad as he was. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	"I was kidding," she clarified. "You know I just like to see you blush." "So what have you been up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "I know... mostly. Though I have a feeling you've hiding more mischief somewhere. And... recovering, mostly. Talking with people, looking into the person who temporarily killed my father and nearly killed me. Trying to get the JLA back into some semblance of order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"Busy boy. All work and no play....You have taking time to play, right?" If not he was going to get a big dose of Maria. She would make sure he took some time to relax and live life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
