Baltimore, Saturday Night

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy--err, well, Banzai now, she was in costume--still wasn't quite sure how this had happened. She was on a date, with a guy that she'd talked to exactly once, and while their date had begun with the traditional nice dinner in town, their main activity was definitely not going to be found in any traditional dating guide.

Well, that might not be entirely true. If Fandom ever published a dating guide, superheroing in Baltimore would probably rate pretty highly on the 'things to do with your date' list.

"So, this is pretty much the start of my beat," she explained, tightening her mask. "I like to start up here. It's the tallest building in the area and--I don't have to explain why I like the high ground to you, right." The guy who could fly around likely understood why she liked starting off high up, yes. "I'd ask if you had any questions before we started, but I'm pretty sure you've been doing this for longer than I have. Ready?"

[NFB for Baltimore, but open to anyone likely to be wandering around Baltimore. Come crash the date! It's a new Fandom tradition (h/t notaweenie)]

"To be honest, here's where I would usually suggest we could find a nice rooftop to go make out on to give you the best reason to stop talking, but you seemed iffy on first date kissing earlier," Johnny said. "If my amazing charms have won you over, let me know. But otherwise, we can get back on patrol."

"But just so you know, you'd better get used to compliments, because you're definitely not invisible now. And I'm kind of surprised anyone ever thought you were."

"...I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't kinda tempted?" Kathy admitted, because, wow. She wasn't entirely sure she agreed with what he said, but she was floored and flattered that he had said it. "I'd have to get to know you better before I was ready to go makeout on a rooftop somewhere, but..."

She leaned forward, getting within kissing distance.

"That was really, really sweet. Not entirely accurate, but still really sweet."

And now she was going to brush her lips against his, if he didn't object.

[Sorry for the delay! Yesterday was my hospital treatment.]

"You'll figure out how right I am eventually," Johnny said before leaning in slightly to finish off the distance between them.

Congratulations, Kathy, you just kissed a nice boy on the first date.

[OOC: No worries!]

It was a very brief kiss, but it was indeed a kiss with a nice boy on the first date.

And then she was pulling away, over almost before it began.

"Shall we go, then? Baltimore's not gonna patrol itself. And that's probably the last kiss you'll be getting tonight. At least, from me."

"I hope you're not suggesting that I start making out with a mugger," Johnny said. "Because they tend not to be my type. Flame on."

[spin_kick_snap]

"There could be some pretty ones!" Banzai said, laughing. "Some lovely lady muggers or a mixed-gender band of sexy jewel thieves?"

"I'll keep that in mind for future solo patrols. For tonight, I'm yours," Johnny said. "So lead the way. It's time to get back to patrol."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Just for tonight," Banzai repeated knowingly. "And tomorrow?"

No worries, she wasn't jealous. Nothing of the sort. She just knew his type.

"Then those muggers are getting flirted with," Johnny joked. "I don't have any plans for tomorrow. I'm not that much of an active dater."

[spin_kick_snap]

Banzai laughed. "Well, we have that in common at least. Though you're always welcome to team up in Baltimore. Though you start showing up too often and I'm gonna have to send you off to your own beat. Can't constantly be shown up by the man on fire or I'll start losing the respect of the perps around here."

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

"Would it help if I called you 'boss'? Make the perps think you're leading a team?" Johnny asked. "I mean, I'm not going to do that, but it's still one solution."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I doubt it," Banzai said, after a moment's worth of pretend thought. "In the end, you're still the guy on fire and I'm just the bouncy girl. Yeah, you're definitely going to have to get your own beat. You and Gorgon can duke it out over the north side or something."
