Blind Date (Bentley / Korra meme response)
There could definitely be worse ways to kill some hours in Toronto. Bentley had gotten in touch with Andrea's boyfriend in preparation for his Nefarious Plans, and small-talk had lead to the mention that he was going to spend a little vacation time in Toronto along the way. That had lead to discussion of Alpha Flight, and her royal cousin-neess.

Bentley drummed his fingers impatiently on the table, sipping his coffee. He'd thought the whole blind date thing would be fun, but the past week of refusing to google his date had been nerve-wracking. It wasn't as if he didn't have the guts to just walk of if it went badly, but come on! She's a princess! One of Namor's daughters! He's a big fan of Namor, what with the imperious entrances, the raw power, and the occasional massive assaults on Manhattan. He was a regular in Bentley's fantasy supervillain leagues. But what was she like? Daddy's Little Hellion? Princessy like her actual title? Teen rebel? He was very curious.

Covering his bases, he'd brought a single flower, and a small box of chocolate. Just something light and charming. Because being an evil genius doesn't mean you can't be a classy bro.

He looked at the clock. Three minutes to go.

Apparently, according to her cousin, Korra needed to "get out more". So she agreed to be set up on a blind date. Having never actually really been on a date before, it could be fun. And with someone who wasn't a member of the Atlantean court or New York high society.

Korra arrived at the restuarant on time, and the waiter led her over to Bentley's table.

"Bentley?" She extended a hand. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Korra Frost-McKenzie."

	You most certainly are. Bentley thinks to himself. He shakes her hand, giving his best smile. "Bentley Wittman the 23rd, Your Highness. Pleasure to meet you too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Korra smiled. "No titles," she said. "Korra's fine. This is just for fun, not a formality." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds reasonable." He nods, then holds out the gifts. "This is a flower." He pauses. "I mean, this is for you. And so are these." Bentley indicates the chocolates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Korra smiled. "Thank you." Awkward pause. "So, how are you today?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, you know... going over some business proposals, keeping up correspondence for my last job, plotting shocking surprises for old friends. Good stuff. You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not much. We had an incident at Alpha Flight headquarters a few days back, but other than that, things have pretty uneventful. Which is always a good excuse to go shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a superhero? Very cool. I have to admit, it was a struggle not to Google you. I mean, I know you're Namor's daughter, and I know enough about the who's who of former supervillains to be pretty sure who your mom is, but that's all I got. I grew up with the Future Foundation, but... I've been going solo for a few years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Korra paused awkwardly for a second at the mention of him Googling her. "...Thank you?" "Yes, I am a superhero. New to it, at least. What have you been doing while you were going solo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughs a little nervously, scratching his ear. "I, uh, like to know stuff. Makes me feel less nervous when entering new situations. I've worked on a couple tech projects for defense systems. Hawaii is now thoroughly proofed against giant monster invasions." He pauses. "Well, mostly ones from Monster Island near Japan, anyway. Deep sea is different jurisdiction." (Reply to this)(Parent)
