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.

	"This time you have a witness, who has an open public persona, can appear in court, has a family who has enough standing to address the UN, doesn't need to hide. I saw and heard enough. Some of the bodyguards, I can't guarantee. But I think I can get some of the actual bosses put away more seriously than you think. Another benefit of working with me."

	Maria smiled. "Are there more benefits?" she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aside from catching bullets, blushing easily and being able to testify in open court, nope. I make your normally exciting life much more boring." he teases back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well damn," she said with a laugh. "My life could use a little more boring." She finished off the last of her burger and sat back in the chair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, leading her out - getting the door this time - and to where he can quick change, then offers a hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She put one hand in his and wrapped her other arm around him. "Take me home, Superboy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It starts out easy enough - but, it being Maria, he figures she won't mind a little adrenaline. He takes her up, up... not quite away, but the air is kind of thin - then goes into a power dive, watching the Earth get closer and closer... before he stops on a dime, inches above the ground, right at her rooftop.

	Maria was laughing the whole way. Yes, she was an adrenaline junkie. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes sparkled. When they stopped she planted a big kiss on his cheek. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)
