A night out
Its been too long in coming, but things have been crazy for everyone. That, and getting used to this world and trying to even come up with one coherent set of memories has been difficult. Mickey is good inspiration though.

Steven shows up at her door with a dozen roses - he has no money, so he's had to collect them wild, but when anywhere in the world is five seconds away that's not so hard. He knocks on the door lightly and waits.

"Be there in a minute!" Mickey called down the hallway as she finished putting in the other one of her silver bangle earrings.

She'd spent a good portion of the afternoon getting ready. Including curling her hair, doing her makeup to just the right amount, and going through her closet to find the perfect outfit (she'd settled on a white sundress with black daises). Slipping on her shoes and grabbing her purse, she ran to the door and opened it.

"Hey Steven!" She greeted him with a smile.

	He offers over the roses, offering a warm smile and a look up and down. "You look beautiful. Sorry it took so long to actually make good on taking you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took the roses, smiling. "Thanks. And it's alright. You've been settling in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, trying to get my orientation. Everything is so... real, I guess. Its harder than you'd think getting used to there only being one version of everybody and everything, and history staying the same day to day. Which probably doesn't make any sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, you were stuck in the Speed Force, right? Things run...differently, there I'd assume." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I grew up there, yeah. Time runs differently there... lots of time moving backwards and forwards in time, seeing reflections of things that could have been, different universes... mostly just in few moment glimpses. The only things that were really real were the flashes and quicks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll never understand the Speed Force. Uncle Jay's tried to explain it to me a couple of times, but it's just a little...complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm just a regular old slowpoke," she said with a grin, "You speedsters just confuse me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's ok. Not that there's anything wrong with fast women, but taking things nice and slow is good too. So where are we going for dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greengenes 2010-07-05 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"I know a nice little diner off of Broadway," she said, "Good food, and they serve breakfast all day long. Sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-05 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Sounds great, but then with such wonderful company... and admittedly, having next to no experience with almost anywhere, you could talk me into pretty much anything, I'm sure. You doing the flying, or do we have a ride?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greengenes 2010-07-05 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"Flying's not my strong suit," Mickey said, hailing a cab. "Don't worry. The taxi service isn't half as bad as people make it out to be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-05 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"Not a problem at all. Figured I'd check. I'd offer to get us there faster, but not sure how you'd feel about being carried." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He picks her up and surrounds them both in the speed force. Technically, the trip could be over in a literal blink of an eye, but he likes carrying her. As such, he settles for 100 mph on the way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greengenes 2010-07-09 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	She wrapped her arm around Steve's neck, holding on as he carried her to their destination. "That certainly beats hailing a taxi and getting stuck in New York traffic," she said when they'd arrived. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, any time you want a lift, long as you don't mind a little groping en route." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If it was anyone else, I'd smack them, but for you? I don't mind at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-09 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Anyone? I don't know, Nic seems awfully fond of you." he replies, setting her down in front of the restaurant. Thankfully superheroes here get excellent reactions - and apparently great tables and prompt service. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's my best friend," Mickey said, as they made their way to the table. "Always has been, always will be. Nothing can change that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-10 01:24 am UTC (link)
	"Good, I wouldn't want anything to. She seems nice. A little quiet and brooding, but I've heard the Hawks do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greengenes 2010-07-10 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Mickey grinned. "That's just what she wants you to think. She's a lot of fun once you get her out and clubbing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then what are the odds I can get the two of you to show me around the local clubs?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey we'd be up for that. Though even someone of your speed might have a little trouble keeping up with us on the dance floor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-10 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"That sounds like a challenge. You have an edge... I've never been dancing. But I learn quick." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll teach you everything you need to know. You'll be in capable hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He raises a brow, "I think I like the sounds of being in your hands." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	greengenes 2010-07-10 02:28 am UTC (link)
	She grinned at him. "Glad to hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	madeofgoesfast 2010-07-10 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Ok, so still getting used to all this... got the best friend, clubbing, lunch. Anything else I should know if I want to keep asking you out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like bowling." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bowling, dancing, check. Yet more things I've never done. But then I think I'll be playing catch up for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
