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.

	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)

	"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)

	"You know, I kind of do. You're entertaining, and you're right, down to earth has its benefits." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	first_son 2011-08-24 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... time to relax... not something he did well. "Well, I read most of the books you and Alina brought me. And you two came to visit." 'Most' meaning, he recycled the porn Maria included without looking at it. He doesn't do relaxed very well, usually. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Maria shook her head. "You're hopeless, but thankfully you have me as a friend. So Jon Kent, you are going to go out with me, as friends, every Thursday night unless an emergency pops up. This way I know you're relaxing and having some fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-24 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	"That sounds ominous. And I suppose you get to decide where we're going on these trips out?" he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-24 11:59 pm UTC (link)
	"No. We'll take turns picking what we do. Fair's fair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-25 12:03 am UTC (link)
	"Sure, that works for me. So, keep my Thursdays free then, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-26 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	"You got it. Thursdays, bar any world threatening emergency, is 'Jon Kent learning how to have fun' nights." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-26 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright, I get the idea. And I have this feeling that Alina won't mind any... not that we're, you know, anything yet... but I suspect she'd still approve wholeheartedly of the concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-26 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Did you go out and get a girlfriend when I wasn't looking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-27 04:25 am UTC (link)
	He blushes a little. "No... not really. We're not... anything... or anything. We talked a little back when she joined the JLA, we've been on one date. She was my other main visitor, along with you and my mother while I was hurt. So... another female friend I can hang out with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"Good. You need to get out more, especially with girls." They arrived at their destination and Maria picked up her step to open the door before him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 03:56 am UTC (link)
	He's distracted enough that she beats him to the door, for once. He casts her a 'I'll get you next time' glance, and heads in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
