Takes place before Keith gets kidnapped.

Star City was boring. Keith was rich, and he had a private jet. It may have taken him quite a few weeks to plan it, he finally decided to take visit Gotham City. Ollie and Dinah had connections in that neck of the woods, so he wasn't without supervision. In fact, even the papparazzi had an eye on the young Queen.

The jet landed and Keith somehow managed to go incognito in Gotham City. He stopped into a closeby Starbucks for some coffee. He also knew that the particular neighborhood he was in had some interesting sights to see.

It was hard to be pissed off at Bruce at the moment. The coffee was much-needed and almost seemed thoughtful at the moment. It had been a long night on patrol and she definitely needed the jolt.

"Yeah, hi. I want enough espresso to fill a venti cup with a lethal dose of mint."

The barista blinked. Marissa leveled a look that said she meant business.

"Okay. Absolutely, Miss Wayne."

"Thanks." Marissa heard the door open and glanced to see who had walked in. Keith Queen. She knew his face.

"You're better looking in person," she said with a small smile.

	Ohsnap. Marissa Wayne. She was one sexy lady. "Oh, why thank you," he replied with a full smile. "But I don't think I even compare to you." So much for incognito. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not so much with the smooth, huh?" She grinned at him. "What do you want? It's on me. Or rather, on Bruce. Least I can do to be a good ambassador for my city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm incognito today, otherwise there would be much of the smooth." He chuckled at the statement, and then continued when he found out ol' Bruce Wayne was buying him something. "Café au lait. And thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right." The barista looks momentarily confused and Marissa shakes her head. "He wants a misto. A venti misto." Turning her attention back to Keith, "they're a little weird here when 'celebrities' show up. So what brings you to Gotham? It's our legendary cheeseburgers, isn't it?"

	"Haha! Not so much. Star City is pretty boring right around now." Not much crime to fight lately, too. "I figured I might have a better time 'round these parts. Maybe meet a good lookin' lady." Check that off the list. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmhmm. I see. Well Gotham's usually far more interesting by night," And absolutely infested, "but I'll be happy to show you around. At least until you find a hot chick though I don't know you'll find any more awesome than me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was thinking the same thing," he replied. "And a tour would be quite lovely as well!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're cute. Okay. Then you're mine for the day. Tell me what you'd like to do. I have my dad's credit card. Money is no object." She also had the Ferrari. She'd spring that on him in a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was one step in the right direction. He just hoped Bruce Wayne didn't swoop in from out of the darkness and rip him apart. "Hmm. I think the pier would be a good start." For a first date. :] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2010-03-29 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"The pier? Done. I even know a shortcut." She grabbed her beverage, waited for him to take his and then boldly grabbed his hand, leading him to the bright red Ferrari parked just up the street. Illegally parked. "I hope you like fast cars." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-03-29 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Keith grabbed the drink real quick-like and let Marissa lead the way. The pair were catching stares (and camera flashes) as they exited the Starbucks, but it was whatever. "Are you kidding? I love fast cars." The papparazzi was going to have a field day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2010-03-29 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"Excellent. Get in." She hopped behind the wheel and in an instant, they were peeling away from the Starbucks and the press was scrambling to follow. "Do those jerks follow you around at home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keith rolled over on his side and slowly opened his eyes... to see the clock next to the bed. He groaned. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Marissa yawned and tried to readjust herself. Keith rolling over had disturbed her very comfortable position sprawled out on him and now she was on cold sheets. Fussing, she pulled a blanket up over her bare body. "Ugh. What time is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-03-30 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"Almost six in the morning..." Yeah. Keith was dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2010-03-30 02:19 am UTC (link)
	She blinked. "That means we...for hours." And Terry hadn't burst down the door and dragged her out by her hair. Oh shit. This could be bad. "Um. Wow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marissa's phone begins to ring at that exact moment, as if on cue. The number comes up as (000) 000-0000. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-03-30 02:35 am UTC (link)
	"Why, thank yo-" Keith was cut off by the phone. "This early in the morning?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2010-03-30 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"Crap. This isn't good." Marissa reaches over Keith, pausing a moment to kiss him, and grabs the phone. "Um...hello?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-03-30 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"Where are you?" Those three words could have only been uttered by one man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-03-30 02:43 am UTC (link)
	There was a kiss, and then she answered the phone. He knew better than to say it out loud. He mouthed the words "Who is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	batdaughter 2010-03-30 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Oh fuck. Bruce. Dad. "Hi...Dad." She shot Keith a look. "I'm in...bed. Is this about me borrowing the Ferrari again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-03-30 02:56 am UTC (link)
	"No." is all he says. Bruce then waited a few beats, raising Marissa's suspense (or so he hoped,) before he said "It's 6:03 am. Queen needs to leave." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sonic_arrow 2010-03-30 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Oh crap. Bruce Wayne. Her dad. Keith kept his mouth shut and waited for her to keep talking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
