There was nothing quite like a night on the town. The bright lights on the streets so far below, the wind through her hair as she swung between buildings, the sounds of late-night-early-morning traffic , and the ocassional girly screams of would-be muggers having their arms twisted by a chick in a black and purple cape.

Yes, this was the life. One of them, anyway.

[ It isn't until ten minutes later when Stephanie returns wearing more treasures from the safe-house closet - her own clothes, thankfully, and not old leftovers - that she comes to the same realization. Brooklyn isn't where she left him, but there's only one pizza place nearby. Whether or not he managed to find it is another question.

When she finds the place she peeks in the window, finds him, and lets out a sigh of relief. By the time she walks in the door, though, she's wearing a confused look and making sure to give the only other people in the shop as much squinting attention as Brooklyn gets. ]

[ He brightens as soon as he sees her, but refrains from the excited waving to get her attention that he wants to do. Gotta be cool, here. Even if he wasn't quite cool enough to make Batgirl want to eat pizza with him. ]

Hey, Steph. [ His best attempt at a cool smile, rather than overexcited. ] —Over here.

[ichoosefight]

Brooklyn? [ She smiles when she confirms for the second time that it is in fact him and slides into the seat across from his. ]

I got a message saying you wanted to meet me, but it didn't say anything about... [ She vaguely gestures at him. ]

[righteoushog]

Well, it went through a couple messengers. It was probably better without, uh, too much detail.

[ He sits back in his seat, one hand rubbing the other like he still can't quite believe there's five fingers there, before he spreads them both in presentation. ]

So— what do you think? I mean, clothes aside. Batgirl probably doesn't have much in my size.

[ichoosefight]

You look... good. [ He's kind of cute. Which is a silly thing to think, she tells herself, but it's true. Now if only she could get him into some real clothes. ]

But yeah, you might want to invest in some real clothes.

[righteoushog]

[ he looks good omg watch him just look completely pleased and maybe a little blushing. Girls don't say things like that to him! ]

Thanks. [ He's too cool to act bashful, so, uh, moving on pretty fast: ] That's the plan. Just, you know, in case this is a limited time deal, I wanted to try out a pizza parlor first. [ A beat, and with a warm smile: ] So thanks for showing up.

[ichoosefight]

Seems reasonable. [ She looks over in the direction of the counter, wondering if he's ordered yet. ]

It's no problem. I sleep like a college student, which is to say not very much. And come 2am I am starving.

[righteoushog]

Kind of looks like we're in the right place to fix that, huh?

[ He hops to his feet, because he totally hasn't ordered yet, and... stalls out with a sudden thought. ]

Do you, uh... have enough to spot me a couple pieces? I can pay you back.

[ gargoyles don't usually carry cash. :( ]

[ichoosefight]

[ She chuckles. Now that she's working part time, she has enough on her to pay for a friend once or twice around. ]

Sure. Here, let me get it. [ She rises to her feet to join him at the counter. ]
