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 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)

	"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)

	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)

	Maria laughed and followed him in. "You can't open all of them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	"I'm used to the taste. Regular seems too sweet now." She shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	"My little sister, some family stuff... yeah. But Coke was way up there. I admit my addiction." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well it's normal to miss family, but the Coke thing is cute." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-29 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"Well, and I was prepared for family. The other was a lot more of a surprise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Next time you just need to take some with you," she suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-08-29 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe, but I packed pretty light, and a year and a half would have been a lot of Coke. Besides, I don't plan on doing that again any time soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-08-29 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Point," she said. "Though you do have the super strength going for you." Maria smiled. "That's good. I like having you around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And knowing is half the battle," she said with a smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wow, been a while since I've heard that. Before the time of most of the people I know. Jo and I just got a lot of classic cartoons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
