Flying Blind
Riley looked at himself in the mirror and curled up his face. This was so not his style, on any level. He was wearing a necktie for crying out loud. Yes he'd promised Henry he'd clean up and wear a suit, but this was so weird. He didn't do the suit and tie thing, and he'd certainly never been on a blind date before. He'd never been on ANY dates before. It just wasn't something he'd really made a priority in his life. He'd never even really thought about what his 'type' was.

Henry had made some valid observations though, and he'd been persuasive. Henry usually was. He did need to get out more. As it was lately, he'd bee spending every waking moment not in school on patrol, with or without Dinah.

Should he have told Dinah he'd be busy tonight? He can always tell her if she contacts him.

He sits down, fidgeting with the buttons on his sleeves, waiting for Henry to call with the info about where to meet his mystery date.

Alex is rather impressed, watching Riley more than playing himself. And by watching Riley, he's watching the young man instead of the rolled balls. Just admiring the other hero, he glances at the gathered kids and smirks.

"Your adoring fans are here."

Riley just smiles as he sinks the last ball of the round, the machine spewing out another string of tickets. He distributes them to the kids, then shrugs at Alex.

"What can I say? It's a gift. You've seen the website. I present well in public."

Passing his bundle of tickets to the nearestkid as well, Alex smirks.

"In public you say? Makes me wonder..." he trails off, just teasing a bit more.

"So, wanna hit another ride or move on to the next activity the Emerald Matchmaker set us up for?" he asks, moving back to Riley's side.

"Wonder what?" He tilts his head.

"He's got more after this?" Riley raises an eyebrow. "He's feeling ambitious." Not that he trusts that, but the effort is at least somewhat impressive.

Alex shakes his head a little. "Just how well you present other places," he says with a shrug.

Taking out his phone and scrolling through a saved message, Alex nods. "Last stop actually," he informs. "Cold Stone Creamery," he says. "Up for ice cream?"

"Oh. Well yeah, Booster Gold taught me plenty about how to work the studio cameras as well. It's a lot harder to make an impression when you're working on time limits between commercials, even if you get time to rehearse." Yeah, that's where his mind went.

He's kind of simple in some ways.

"I'm always up for ice cream. Well, as long as I don't have a meet or big game the next day." He smiles. "Couple rides, then desert?"

Alex blinks a few times and then snickers. "TV interviews? Sounds like fun," he remarks, quite amused by Riley once more.

"Sounds great to me," the ring-slinger agrees. "You can pick the rides," he adds after a moment.

"I'll pick one. Teacups. I know it's stupid, but it's a nostalgia thing. You can pick the other, then we're on our way."

Alex smiles again and nods. "Sounds like fun to me. Hopefully we won't make ourselves too dizzy with all the spinning," he says as they walk along. "I think I'll pick that balloon thing I saw while we were on the coaster as long as it's not like...super kiddie," he chuckles.

"Works for me." Riley nods. He experiments a little bit, walking a little closer to Alex.

Alex nods, checking a directory map before leading the way towards the tea cups. He smiles when he notices that Riley's walking closer. Shifting a little closer himself, Alex makes a quick mental note to really thank Henry for setting him up like this.

"You know...we're having some pretty good luck tonight," he remarks idly.

"That wasn't luck with the skee ball. That was me being awesome." Riley smirks. He's starting to get back some of his in-costume confidence. He nudges a shoulder against Alex's.

Alex laughs when nudged, returning the favor a moment later. "Yeah, you're awesome," he agrees. "But not what I meant. Just sayin' we're lucky we haven't been interrupted by work," he explains, heading up the steps of the teacup ride and flashing the VIP pass.

"Well, that happens. Last week I managed to go all the way to the store and back to get groceries without something attacking." Riley laughs, boarding the cup along with Alex.

"But yeah, this is nice."

"Wow," Alex chuckles. "All the way there and back? I'm amazed," he says. Once the cups are all boarded and the ride begins slowly turning, the lantern nods. "Very nice," he agrees.

Alex nods. "Yeah. A nice bit of relaxing," he says. "Great way to cool down after a coaster."

The ride finishes up soon enough, and Riley tugs Alex out of the cup. "Alright, I'm good for desert. Lead on."

Once again tugged along, Alex stays a bit closer to Riley than he had before. "You got it," he chimes, starting to lead the way.

About an eight minute walk later and they're out of the amusement park and heading for Coldstone. "Ever been here before?" he asks as they reach the shop full of tasty treats. "It's one of the best." the lantern adds, holding the door open for Riley.

"Heard of it, passed by them, but never been there myself." Riley shrugs. "I'm sure I can find one of my usual go-to flavors of ice cream."

Alex smiles and heads for the counter. There's certainly a lot of flavors there. Alex orders himself a cup of mint chocolate chip with some sprinkles before stepping aside to let Riley order. "I'm sure you'll find something good," he agrees.

Riley gets himself the chain's version of a milkshake with peanut butter cup, caramel, and gummi bears. He grins as he digs in. "This right here? This is awesome."

Alex grins, just watching Riley. "Yes. Yes you are very awesome."

Riley just chuckles and shrugs. "If you say so." He sips at his milkshake some more.

"So... what now?"

"Oh, I don't just say...I know," Alex replies.

He eats some of his frosty treat before answering. "Well. We talk a little more, finish dessert, and then I uhh...well one of us can walk or fly the other home or something like that if we want."
