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.

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	Maria laughed and followed him in. "You can't open all of them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Obviously, but I can try for all but that one." he replies, in a teasing tone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh don't worry. I'll beat you on a few others," she said confidently. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 03:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Not if I can help it." he replies, pausing just long enough to avoid 'want to bet', as that could get dangerous with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll see what happens," she said. She was quite confident that she would beat him to other doors. He was faster, but she was sneakier. "Burgers are on me," she said as she glanced up at the menu overhead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "That I can deal with." he agrees. And yes, no question, she's much sneakier. He orders fairly readily - bacon cheeseburger, fries and a coke is always good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Maria ordered a double bacon cheeseburger with the works, cajun fries and a diet Coke. She was a bit hungry after work and kicking some mobster ass. She grabbed napkins and ketchup packets and found a table. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	He notes the order. "I like the way you think. Diet? You'd think you'd have worked off the calories." he replies, getting some measure of revenge in pulling a chair out for her before settling in himself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm used to the taste. Regular seems too sweet now." She shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-28 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Fair enough. I could never get used to it. Really, I think that was the oddest thing about the trip into space. I didn't mind the alien cuisine so much, but I missed Coke." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-28 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Of all the things on Earth you missed Coke the most." She smiled. "I can understand that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
