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.

	"That's like...brain breaky." She shook her head. She couldn't picture it. "Weird." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes and no. I mean, sometimes that'd be good, no crime society and such. But there's some good ones out there too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm, there's a few I could show you, if the Flashes let me use a treadmill. Not a lot. We usually don't try and go visiting too much, but there's a few we're on reasonable terms with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No thanks," she said. "I'm quite content to stay here for as long as I'm here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably for the best. Besides, you're bound to run into some kind of extradimensional trouble sooner or later. These things happen here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't run into trouble," she said. "It finds me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh huh. You're trouble on two legs." Nice legs, but still. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am not," she protested, but couldn't keep a straight face. She giggled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ok, maybe a little. I fear if you and Alina ever conspire though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-09-03 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Maria grinned. "Maybe we will. Just to keep you on your toes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs. "I shouldn't have said anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Too late now," Maria smirked. "Alina and I will have a nice long chat about you and what to do with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sighs, then goes up to the counter and borrows a pen, and writes down a number. "Since I'm doomed either way, I'll save you the detective work. Besides, better she hear you're a friend of mine, since she still keeps a secret identity." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-09-03 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Maria grinned like a Cheshire cat and snatched the paper out of his hand. "Thank you very much." Oh this was going to be fun. "Speak of secret identities, how did you like my new one?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-09-03 01:51 am UTC (link)
	He blushes. Hard. "I... am not at all sure what to say." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-09-03 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Maria smiled. He was cute when he blushed. Too bad he wasn't a few years older. "I actually enjoyed dancing. I may stick with it as a second source of income. Do you think I should?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-09-03 02:13 am UTC (link)
	The blush isn't fading much. She's still both older, more experienced... and, well, faster than he'd be comfortable being in a relationship with, but she's fun. And exhasperating. But fun. And fun has not been much of his life. "If you enjoy it... sure. You're good at it." Very good. Damnit, blushing more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	crossbow_bat 2011-09-03 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," she said grinning. "I promise I'll try to give you more of a head's up next time. But I think I will keep dancing. The money's good and it gives me an in into Gotham's underworld." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2011-09-03 02:22 am UTC (link)
	He sighs. "Yeah, it probably would. And... we do work well together. So... if you want to work together more..." He reminds himself, the strip club is for a good cause. The strip club is for a good cause. And he has a feeling a lot of people would be giving him a hard time for that line of thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I would like that," she said. "And don't forget about our Thursday nights. I'm not letting you out of those." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
